I put on 2.5lb this week. I think a few factors played a part in my gain, but I am not going to dwell on the reasons why. Instead, I have decided to react positively -- I am going to exercise as much as I can, I’m going to try out some new recipes and I am also going to incorporate two days of ’Success Express’ into my routine.
Success Express is a way of boosting your weight loss. It is quite difficult to explain and I am no expert, but the basis of this is that you fill two thirds of your plate with super free food during each meal. You are allowed two healthy extra A’s and two healthy extra B’s and you’re also allowed 10-15 syns a day. However, you have to take the highest syn value out of green, extra easy and original.
During image therapy in this week's class, we were spit into groups to come up with some Success Express meal ideas and I discovered that baked beans aren’t super free. All these months I have been trying to loose weight thinking that beans were free on all three Slimming World plans! I am hoping this realisation that they are just free and not super free will effect my weight loss!
Anyway guys, I am aiming for a big fat 5lb this week -- which is more than I have lost in one week ever. Wish me luck!
It's good reacting positively I think I need to try success express I maintained this week and have no idea why.
ReplyDeleteBeans is a funny one as they are kinda veggie like. Peas and sweetcorn aren't free on all plans but are vegetables! I'm still confused with the science of Slimming World!
