Down 4lbs this week. To say I am delighted is an understatement. I gave it my all this week so I was expecting a loss, but was worried my valentines disaster might catch up with me. I have two meals this weekend so will have to be extra careful. Well done in the losses, keep it up
Well done:)RachaelFergie wrote: »Didn't go to wi cos I knew I'd be up!! Just wolfed(as If I had never eaten in my life) a packed of chic chip cookies, about 7 at 2pp each!! Have a meal out this weekend and feeling ever so sorry for myself just can't seem to stay on the feckin horse(the ww one I mean)!!
I have a wedding in Portugal in 14 weeks and need to loose a stone at least! Please if anyone has any help or advice ESP bout controling cravings I would really appreciate
My advice, is dont buy them! not great I know
but that's how I manage, mind you I love the ww eclairs I leave them in the freezer and take out one when I fancy one, I let it defrost a little but enough that you have to eat it slow by then I'm satisfied! works well with other treats like curly wurly at least if you went mad and ate two its 6 rather than 14 put them in the ice box as well eat slower then the craving just leaves you, also I find chopped banana with a ww yogurt over it works a treat and fills me up, grapes as well, go for them first, see if that fixes the snack attack.
at the end of the day, its how much you want it! have you an out fit for that wedding yet! may be put a picture on your fridge/press reminding you what you want to achieve! aim for that!
Good luck0 -

Hey All!
Didn't go to WI tonight. It was my birthday last weekend and to be fair I had a ball (not food related just everything!) but I knew that I would be up so I couldn't justify spending the money this evening to be told something I knew! I wouldn't recommend that peeps do that as I'm a firm believer in my meeting but I know the kind of person I am and I was back on track like a demon Monday, have been since and will have a good week. So if I STS next week I'll be grand. It's a psychological thing
Speaking of which, random thought but reading back through the last few pages (partying and not on internet ) I've noticed alot of peeps having a bad week, losing motivation etc. This is the 7/8 week mark from January/New Years Resolutions and apparently the hardest couple of weeks to keep the momentum going. So I wouldn't be beating yourselves up to anyone who is finding it a little hard, think about how far you have come and remember why you started......onwards, downwards and bumps in the road happen we just have to jump over them (hey it's exercise ) 0 -

It was brilliant! Fair play to them all! Actually, 'fair play' is a bit of an understatement! Grace looked amazing, not sure about the hair though, some softer, looser waves would've been nicer. Kayleigh looked fab, although her hair was a bit 'Dr Eva'! Adrian scrubbed up very well :cool: and as for Killian, he's half the man he was! :eek: Natalie had a long journey, but got there in the end, well done to her!
And all you guys - well done on yer mighty losses this week!
Down 3 today myself, happy out! 0 -

Just back from post New York weigh in - down 2lbs, absolutely delighted. Made good use of the gym in the hotel every morning and walked and walked during the day, so that obviously off set all the dining out. Only 7lbs from target now, at a pound a week I should be there by Easter!!
I'd say u are delighted!!! Congrats!! 0 -

Operation Transformation was great they looked fab!!
Must say I'm very jealous that some of the girls lost what took me 6months in 8weeks
Going to see Dara O Brien tomorrow night in Castlebar, then to Tipp for the weekend via Roscommon its going to be a tough one food wise when i am at home i have no control of my food 0 -

Never thought 15 months ago I would be either, especially when I heard that typical weight loss was 0.5-2lbs a week. With 200lbs to loose, I almost lost heart there and then, but I found the propoints plan so easy to follow and worked my way up from 30 minutes exercise a day to being able to run 10kms, so keep heart and some day soon you'll be excited about your own impending goal achievement0 -
Are weights any good or do any of ye use them?
Don't want to end up like Jodie Marsh now or anything! Ha ha!
But for your upper arms??.... Yes, the bingo wings!
I'd say the last time I wore anything sleeveless was in school and that was a vest under my uniform!:eek:
I was just looking at dumbbells in Argos - lots of different weights.... 1kg, 2kg, 3kg etc... Whats a good one to try? (weight-wise I mean, and I don't want anything that's so light it won't make any difference either) Tried using bottles of water but they're kind of hard to hold for a long time.
Sorry for long post, but this is one Summer that I'd love to (hopefully!) be able to wear something that's not a regular t-shirt! 0 -

Thanks mcb! Fingers crossed! 10km? That is fantastic!!! I wouldn't run from the nose as my late Dad used to say!
God, I'd love to fast forward 6 months and read this thread and see how are we all doing!0 -

That's really interesting...I have to say that I'm finding this week really hard...
I've lost 12lbs (1lb last week) and feeling good for it, but for some reason this week I feel starving and am craving junk so much!...
Glad to hear I'm not alone and this is totally normal....Are weights any good or do any of ye use them?

Hiya Twirlagig!...
I use weights in the gym, and they are definitely toning up the arms...
Not sure about the ones in Argos, but I figure every little helps....
Well done on all the losses folks!!....Onwards and Downwards....:D0 -

Sometimes when we have a big loss one week it takes our bodies a week to adjust to it.
I find it best to set the most realistic target for the week - aim for 1lb a week and anything extra is a bonus. I was disappointed my 2nd a third week but this is a long term thing, and the steadier the weight comes off the longer it will stay off Best of luck this week
Thanks tiny_penguin, thats a good way of looking at it! I was down just half pound again but leader said slow & steady is way to do it so i'm trying to think of it like that. This is a long term thing rather then quick fix.:)0 -

I don't think I could stick to it for a year. It would mean exercising 5 times a week and not drinking any alcohol at the weekends or if I want alcohol, to eat nothing but fruit and salad during the day (and not even a huge amount of it).
Life for living eh, I would not stick it at all either that's why I like WW because its flexible
Is today WI good luck if it is, getting ready for mine FX I am down 0 -
This is a poem our weight watchers leader read out to us last night which I found hit home for me a bit and thought it might for some of you might find helpful too:Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost…I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.Chapter Two
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep whole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in…it’s a habit…but,
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault.
I get out immediately,Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.Chapter Five
I walk down another street.
Had a loss of 1lb last night which was over two weeks so not great but least it's down so am pleased with that. Hopefully we will soon start to see some brighter weather and can get out and about and earn ourselves some activity points! 0 -
Hi guys,
Just a quick one, quite a basic question but it has me confused.
I always through last yr when pro points came out that 29 pp was the lowest daily allowance. Then this yr I thought the 26pp was kind of a kickstart and if you wanted to drop to 26 you could but 29 was still the standard lowest pp allowance.
Then last night I looked at the screen when I was getting weighed 28 was flashing & I said to my leader am I on 28 now and she said yes. I was on 30 after xmas then went down to 29 but I thought I would stay on 29 that it didn't drop any lower.
Can anyone confirm?
I know I shouldn't refer to the old points system but the one thing that was easier on it was that as you went down out of a stone ie from 13's to 12's you went down a point ( I'm giving away the fact in attending WW a long tome
)
Thanks all & sorry for the long post & to everyone losing motivation keep it going, it's a mountain but its worth climbing for the view 0 -

Morning ladies (and the few gents out there )
Had a lie in this morning, (the wonders of flexi time ) As I think it was Monife or Baby75... not sure (memory like a sieve!) I just had WI no. 7 and am starting on week 8... I am absolutely exhausted!!!
Anyone else finding they are really tired all the time?? I exercise each evening (aside from Wednesday and maybe a Saturday...) Maybe its just the 7/8 week slump but im going to bed early and still struggling to get up in the mornings....0 -

H ladysaint, 26 is the lowest. I'm on that at the moment, you wouldn't feel 26 adding up it can be tough! Thankfully we have the 49 weeklies!! 0 -

Hi Ali85, I remember posing practically the same question around two months in. I was absolutely shattered and only I was so motivated by other posters I would have given in. Everyone was saying you're losing so much weight, you must feel great, have so much energy etc when in fact I felt crap. Completley unscientifically, I think it takes your body a whil;e to adjust and if you persevere gradually you get more and more energy. I found that when I studied my tracker with our leader that I wasn't eating enough protein, so I added in a protein snack such as peanut butter on rice cakes, or scrambled eggs on toast after I came back from exercise and I think it helped. If like me you went from doing little or no exercise to exercising almost every day your body migth need the extra protein for repair. Its worth a try any way.0 -

Thanks very much mcb81! You are probably right. I did no exercise before I went back to WW this time. Litterally sat on by ever growing backside each night when i got home from work. I'm going to give it a go... thanks a mill... something really comforting about scrambled eggs at tea time I have been pushing it a bit the last two weeks especially so maybe that could be the reason.
Its mad isn't it... How your body makes you pay even when you are doing something to make it better... god damn it! haha!0 -
Just back from WI... down 2.5lb! really happy after STS last week but.... i had 3 to my stone... ragin in that respect but 13.5lb down in 7 weeks is definitely nothing to be sniffed at... I know I will get my stone next week...
I am now officially 11st 7lb....
Congratulations!! Wow stone next week! Well done, all your hard work is obviously paying off 0 -
