    Up 4.5lbs tonight in two weeks, back on it as of this morning... no cheating. I skipped the walk tonight though, weather is awful and I'm afraid because I'm so light, the wind will take me... I WISH!!! Best of luck with the weigh ins this week.

    Hi Joolsie, Was down 2 this week.
    I am still half a pound away from two stone weight loss.
    Going to nail it this week, but it's very difficult, as I have a work issue going on that has been very upsetting. ::(

    Hi all I've just started back at WW last week and had my first weigh in today which went really well so I'm thrilled with that. My question is this my OH is going to do WW with me but doesn't want to go to call. I can't find anywhere to figure out what his SP would be, does anyone know where I can get this?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Could he not go to one class just to get his points? I don't think there is a way to calculate SP yourself. Also think the weeklies are different for everybody too.

    On another note- if you're both doing WW I would recommend he goes to class too as you will help motivate each other!! Best of luck with your weight losses :)

    I went yesterday for the first time in two weeks and I was up 2, completely my own fault as I didn't track. I was also away for a week in the US with work but I can't blame that. I think in the past two weeks I've been out for dinner about 9 times!! That's crazy carry on. Anyway, kick up the ar$e yesterday so back to tracking and double checking everything.

    Keep going everyone :)

    If you find a low SP recipe for the apple tart let me know. I'm starting to struggle with sweet things as everything is just so high.

    All the best with your plan :D

    Well done you!
    I stayed the same, still half pound off that now very elusive two stone target.
    And... I am going to London for a two night break..
    ah well...... I will just walk the legs of myself over there. No underground for me!

    Oh I might join that too Keesa!

    Weighed in yesterday and I was UP 1.5lbs, I was disgusted. I pointed really well (I thought) and I felt great going in so expected to be DOWN at least that. I won't let it knock me though, I'm going to be super super SUPER focused now.

    Well the first 2 days of pointing haven't been great but at least I'm pointing!! I've 2 weeks in the states at the start of march and then a weekend in Italy at paddys too so it's going to be tough but hey, 1 a week on average should be totally manageable!!

    Well I was down SEVEN! Unbelievable. I knew last week's gain wasn't deserved but never thought this would happen, chuffed. However, I'm at this long enough to know I've to be very vigilant this week now!

    Well done CorkClaire82! Fantastic result! I had my 2nd WI this morning and was down 2lbs. Was happy with that especially as I had 2 bad days during the week. I've learnt from those though and really enthusiastic about the coming week & getting it right :-) I logged everything I ate during my 2 bad days which is something I've never done before (have always turned a blind eye on previous attempts) & I was completely shocked at the amount I ate... Onwards & downwards from here

    Well done BareFoot, very good going. I went last night and I was up 2.5lbs, no blooming consistency. I do think though with a massive loss like 7lbs it isn't always possible to keep it off. I don't have a massive amount to lose so going up a couple wouldn't be surprising. It's annoying though. Anyway, back at it this week and hopefully it's a nice loss next week.

    I need help. I just can't get back in to it at all. I start the week great and then by Wednesday I have lost all control. I'm up over a stone now since mid December and I'm so worried that I won't be able to bring it under control. Any or all suggestions welcomed :(:( ... (feeling like giving in)

    Have you read your smile book? You need to put yourself first, stop beating yourself up. A great statement I love that is on a poster in my class... Be Real, Not Perfect. Do the best you can, take it day by day. Would definitely recommend doing a meal plan full of tasty dinners so you won't be tempted elsewhere and make a shopping list and stick to it. When making the meal plan, allow some points for a daily treat if that is what keeps you sane.

    Perhaps change meetings to change it up, I find Wednesday meetings the best as they are close enough to the weekend that you retain some motivation and far enough also so you can do damage limitation if you slip up on the weekend. Track track track, even on bad days, it might not be as bad as you thought. Tracking is the only way to go I think. If you're doing No Count, perhaps try pointing for a while.

    Change up your food and try to incorporate a little exercise, if you manage a 15 minute walk most days, you will feel extra motivated.

    Get a photo of you at your heaviest, stick it on piece of paper and write 5 reasons why you want to lose the weight and stick it somewhere where you will see it every day. Think about how unhappy you would be if you put loads of weight back on, believe me, I did, I lost 4 stone and ended up putting 5 back on over a period of time. I spent a long time feel regret and disgust and cursing myself for wasting so much time but you need to not look backwards as that is not going to get you anywhere. Today is the first day of a fresh start :)

    Best of luck :)

    Thanks Monife, went to class last night and was up a half a pound. My leader told me to cop on and snap out of it; it was the wake up call I needed. I'm back on the wagon today.

    Back to class last night, haven't been there in months, so the smart points are new to me. Looking forward to getting to know about them, it looks like a good plan.
    Best of luck, one and all!

    Just back from the states with work. Breakfast lunch and dinner out everyday for 2 weeks. Needless to say I'm up. Alot.

    Determined to get back into it now. My belly is hanging out over my jeans. Far cry from my lovely goal belly. 10lbs from it! I refuse to be a stone from goal! So get ready to hear a lot from me!

    Doing really well so far. Best I've managed in months! Day 3 complete. 14 ap earned and 1 used with all my weeklies in tact and saved for my weekend in Italy! Fingers crossed!
