Well done.
 
sorry peeps - a gain for me, following a week on EE, as instructed by consultant.

not happy! I have always followed the Red plan with the occasional Green day.

this week I had to almost double my insulin intake to cover the extra carbs

so back to red

sorry people
 
That is ok, as you have tried and suspected the recommended approach did not work for you.

I certainly am not doing as well on this Extra Easy thing . In the past I usually lost an initial stone in 3-4 weeks..It took me 11 weeks this time! :( . normally did alternate days red and green,more green because I like the comfort of a stomach full of carbs! lol. Cant do that now though so will just go plodding on with EE. At least its a steady move in the right direction

Sorry to read that , is the EE the one they do now?
I should have a bloody good loss this week, my sister is moving and my god the amount of stuff we have moved , yesterday 10 cars full, today loaded and unloaded a 7 1/2 tonne lorry😱 I am knackered😛 up and down stairs like no bodys business
 
yes Extra Easy is the current preferred plan
 
consultant said to go back to Red/Green

so I had better be 100% to ensure a good weight loss to prove my point
 
Hope it works for you, i must be careful now this week as had 2 white bacon rolls this weekend, one today and one yesterday, i did refuse a 2nd both times :D but just had extra bacon today
 
I am going to make egg muffins tomorrow, got all the ingredients, so no excuse
 
I popped in morrisons on way home from sisters, bought 30 eggs😱 as do use alot but they didnt have ay 12/15's . i usually make them or a crustless quiche on a Sunday but back over my sisters tomorrow to help her again, so may not have the time or energy lol
 
I really went to town at my son's graduation dinner,ate some of everything,including rice and chilli con carne,smoked mackerel,potato salad (too too much,but it was delish!),two cupcakes - and one lettuce leafand a slice of cucumber as my superfree foods! lol. Have cut down my syns for other days,and am doing a bit more planning than usual,did a bit walking and humped groceries,so we'll see how much damage my blowout did. We had a great time,and disgraced ourselves yelling and whistling at my son,but who cares. And we have a picture of him in gown and mortar board to tease him with forever.Good day,so refuse to worry about the weight.

Really pleased to hear you enjoyed yourself! It's a very special event - I still remember how proud my family were at mine 🙂 I'm sure the 'damage' will be minimal, all that emotion and laughter is bound to burn up a few calories! 🙂
 
YAY! Lost a pound this week,which is excellent for all the food I consumed at the graduation and the birthday,and all the alcohol(my daughter brought me the usual bottle of ouzo after baking herself in Corfu.about 50 syns there alone) I was very careful of my syns the rest of the week,did some walking,and lo and behold lost my usual 1 lb 🙂
MY STATS
Pre Slimming World:starting BMI - 40.Weight loss for March/April - 1 stone.
1st goal - Get out of the morbidly obese level,i.e.below 35 BMI
******
SW weeks 1-11 weight loss - 1st 1lb
(week 12 weigh-in: 18thJul) loss 1 lb - total loss 1st 2 lbs

******
total loss for the challenge - 2 st 2 lb
BMI - 35.35

Only 3 more pounds to lose to get to my first goal,get under 35 BMI out of morbidly obese. 🙂 🙂 🙂
