STS again for me but I'm happy because it's my TOTM and I always gain. I'm really trying my best this week.

I hate weigh in during TOM. I'm so tempermental, I could lose a lot or gain a lot, never one or the other so I never trust that week's numbers!!

was weighed last Wednesday - mortified to say I was up a pound - am finding Saturdays, Sundays and eating out a killer

am away for worked today and tomorrow - already have dread for Wednesday's weigh in

Don't be mortified! I've gone up a lot more than a pound in a week!

I just thought I'd keep a bit of momentum (reading Roy Keane's autobiography - he's all about momentum!) a bit longer - I was away for work yesterday and today, sad wagon that I am, I brought my sports bra and weights, so did 30 day shred in the hotel room this morning before my meeting
not sure how I'll get on tomorrow night though - a bit worried I'll be up again - I HATE paying WW after all it took me to lose it day 1

Up 1lb yesterday.

Feel like I'm going backwards.

I'm really trying my best this week.

Having a terrible week. Missed my meeting on Wednesday as I wasn't feeling well. I have been on steroids for a flare up of my arthritis and they make you gain weight even if you watch what you eat. Of course, me being the food addict that I am, I have eaten all around me (the steroids increase your appetite too and for some reason having me craving only sugar and junk). I have only lost 5.5lb in the last 5 weeks and i'll probably put up at least half of that next Wednesday And I have over 9 stone to lose

5.5lbs in 5 weeks is great. Don't think of it as 'only'. Thats more than a pound a week which is steady weight loss. You need to give yourself a break, how long will you be on the steroids for? Do not be hard on yourself for gaining weight in this time but maybe do try and sort your surroundings so when cravings hit the sugar and junk isn't there for you to dig into. You can try and limit the damage but as you said you may gain weight even if you were 100% on track.

You need to take it slow and not put too much pressure on yourself. When you stay focused but realistic it becomes less daunting. Break your 9 stone into mini goals, and put realistic time frames on it. The mistake I always made in the past was looking at the end goal instead of the journey, took me over 10 years but when I stopped focusing on the end point I finally got there.

Down 2.5 this week. Happy with that! Just wondering my group consultant says I should be on 43 points a day but I checked online and it said I should be on 34? I've been sticking to 34 but just wondering why she has a different points value for me compared to online? Has this happened to anyone else?

Where did you find online to calculate your daily points? I have never seen an accurate online calculator. I would be more inclined to trust the leader.

I just googled how to work out your daily propoints. Its a wikihow page. I've been using 34 points since I started over a month ago. I just checked another website that said 43. I'm now afraid to eat more in case I gain? Feck sake! ��

I weigh a few pounds under 19 stone and am 27 and I am on 40PP. So if you weigh less than me or much younger than 27 then it is likely 43PP is wrong. Also, if you are male, it is likely that it is correct.

Yeah gonna ask my leader what she thinks Wednesday anyway. Thanks!

didn't get a chance to post last Wednesday night - was down a pound and a half, so in all, it's 3 pounds down

(2.5 down week 1; 1 up week 2; 1.5 week three) - let's hope it's not a trend

I'm off work this week and it's killing me, all I want to do is go out for lunch, etc - so going to get weighed tmrw night and am heading away for a couple of days - deliberately booked for the day AFTER my weigh in - how sad is that

I've fallen off the wagon and let it roll away, dreading this Friday

Can't get my act together at all lately. Have been getting no exercise, and not tracking at all....Gggrrr! 7 weigh ins to Xmas. I need to make a decision about whether I want to be up a half a stone, or down half a stone... Should be an easy decision, eh?!

Finally, a loss!

2lbs down!

I should be (and now am) on 43 a day. I was eating 34. So still got plenty of nutrients . will see how this week goes at weigh in next wed.
