All things weight loss for anyone
Because you restrict food such as chocolate and crisps as it’s named “syns” you get 15 syns a day.. a packet of crisps is like 5 and chocolate bar 10 so that’s it then you need to plan the rest and go “syn feee” it’s really hard so then results in you being really restrictedJust out of curiosity because I have never tried slimming world, would you mind sharing how it can trigger eating disorders or bad eating habits?
I’d lost half a stone before lockdown with SW and I only wanted to lose 1 stone overall but I have no idea how much I’ve put back on over lockdown. I’ve tried home workouts, but just can’t get my head into it. I need to be at the gym in a class where I push myself.Thanks for setting it up. I’m an ex slimming worlder who is stone heavier than when I joined 3/4 years ago. It made my binging worse.
I’m now calorie counting on nutracheck with about 1600 calories a day. I’m only a few days in and it’s going well so far. I need to get some exercise back in my life, pre lockdown I was a gym goer 3/4 times a week but home workouts are just not me.
I am struggling a bit as I feel guilty I could have lost so much in the last 3 months, I guess I should be great full I’ve maintained but it’s really playing on my mind.
I want to lose 3-3-5 stone and be a size 10/12.
I’ve seen on YouTube they do chair cardio workouts, which might be helpful for easing into exercise gently if it’s not easy at the moment.I’ve yo-yo’d with SW for years. Would always lose around a stone and then fall off the wagon and put the weight on and more.
2 years ago I lost 3 stone in a pretty short space of time (4 months) but then I moved house and couldn’t get back into it and ending up putting on 5
Because of my weight I find it really hard to exercise, even a short 5-10 minute walk gives me searing pain in my lower back, but once I’ve lost around a stone that pain eases and I’m able to enjoy slow paced walks.
I would love to be able to afford a PT who could ease me in gently to exercise and provide me with a meal plan, but they are just so expensive.
I’m 30 in August and really want to try and get my weight down before I develop serious health issues.
I’ll have a look, thank youI’ve seen on YouTube they do chair cardio workouts, which might be helpful for easing into exercise gently if it’s not easy at the moment.
Wow well done for overcoming your anarxia... that makes perfect sense it’s a business after allI just want to chime is as a recovering anorexic. When I was recovering they spoke to us about things like slimming world etc and the lady doing it said that the plan is for you to lose weight quickly and put the weight back on because they make money that way. Makes a lot of sense if you think about it, you lose weight so you know it works but the lifestyle isn't sustainable so you put it back on and then you go back to slimming world/ww etc cause you know it worked before.
She also said that they don't account for healthy fats etc. wholemeal toast and avocado etc is too many syns (not 100% sure of the details as I've never done it) but those are healthy foods. "Empty" calories (or less valuable foods which what they like to use with anorexic patients were I was) like kit kats or mugshots are allowed but they don't have near enough nutritional value like beans or avocado would.
I hope that helps a bit!
