Week 11: Another Week, Another Loss

Hi again, another week and another loss for me. On my week eleven weigh in, I lost another 3 pounds, meaning that I've now lost a grand total of 3 stone 6 pounds, another pound and I'll have my 3 1/2 stone certificate and 4 pounds to 16 stone 7 pounds, which was my consistent weight when I worked for Sainsbury's.

All of that is great news, and I was considerably pleased when I weighed in, especially when you consider that my girlfriend and I went to Comic Con last Sunday and didn't exactly stick to plan. By that, I mean, we both had a 6 inch sub from Subway, a packet of Doritos and a cake each. The cake I had was a Creme Egg Brownie, which in itself was plenty of Syns, but have a look at it:

It tasted as good as it looked, and I really enjoyed it. I will point out though, on Sunday, I worked out that I consumed a grand total of 64 Syns, which was a big deal for me on Slimming World. But in an attempt to make sure I lost weight or at least maintained, I restricted my Syn intake between Monday and Thursday, so I didn't go over my weekly Syns, which I managed to do, even though it was quite hard to do, but it was worth it.

The thing I like about Slimming World is that it's easy to do. I know that might sound like a contradiction compared to what I said in the previous paragraph, but as long as you're honest with yourself, you can lose weight, if one day during the week, you do have more Syns than you're supposed to, you just adjust the Syns you're allowed each day, you should be alright to still lose weight. It was only a bit hard for me because I had 3 times the amount of Syns on Sunday than I was supposed to have had.

If you keep a food diary and keep track of the amount of Syns you're having, it should be easier to make sure you don't go over. Just think, in the 7 days between weigh ins, guys can have 140 Syns and women can have 105 Syns, keep that in mind and you shouldn't go far wrong.

Thanks for reading and if you're doing Slimming World yourself, keep at it, keep motivated and remember how easy it is to do and to lose weight.
