Hi foundry,

Basically all I did was get some lighter than light mayo and added some garlic from a garlic grinder....sounds so simple. I just never thought of doing it before. I always stay away from garlic mayo in chipper/restaurants etc. because it would be so high in points, but the homemade one tastes just as nice I'm sure there is a better way of making it, but I am not very domesticated so I'll stick to this

WI tonight and I am verrrry nervous. I've become very disheartened the last month as I'm struggling to shift the last few pounds to get to goal; have either STS or put on weight... I did eat out twice this week but totally took account for that, using half of my dailies each time and giving all of my weeklies towards the two occasions (even though I know they wouldn't have used all my weeklies). Haven't exercised as much as I would have liked to but have been drinking at least 2 litres of water every day. Even made a conscious effort to change up my foods. I've tried really hard so I'll probably feel ready to give up if there's no improvement on the scales tonight!

I had a bit of a bad weekend. Half pound to goal and I don't know if I'm going to make it.

I was a bit to erratic with food and neglected to track. I don't think I'm too far into the 49 but I can't tell really now. I had dinner out on Friday and some wine. And of course, as usual I forgot all about my water. Urgh.

Immaculate tracker for the rest of the week now and lots of blimmin water.

Taz 1 don't give up!! I'm in the exact same position, struggling to lose the last 5 lbs. In fact i would saw that losing this last half stone has been harder than losin the other 13.5 stone. But I just keep looking back at how far I've come and it gives me the motivation to keep going. I was reading in a ww magazine a few months ago that the last half stone is a psychological barrier, that we tend to sabotage ourselves by easing off on tracking or exercising. I'm determined not to let that happen, and to stop putting myself under pressure of I must lose 1lb this week or I will be at goal by such and such a date. You've done so well so far, you just need to have faith in yourself that you can do it, it might be taking a little longer than we would like but just imagine stepping on the scales the day that "this member has reached goal" comes up on the screen! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Stepped on my parents scales last night and it showed me up 2lbs. If that shows on the scales tuesday I will be so upset. I have been so good. I weigh out everything before I cook it. I generally eat about half of my weeklies. My exercise has been down the past few weeks cos I have been so busy but I have been extra careful with food. I just feel bloated and crap.

mcb81, thanks so much for your post, it really made me sit back and think. It really encouraged me to focus on the positive rather than the negative I've adapted a much healthier lifestyle for good and have learned so much. I had heard that the last few pounds are always the hardest to shift but I still thought that it was all my fault that they weren't being shifted, and have been getting annoyed at myself as a result! I guess we'll get there eventually!

Just had a sneaky look on the scales this morning, it has me UP 2 and a quarter pounds!

ANNOYED!

I'm not due TOTM until tomorrow week =(

I hopped on wearing trackie bottoms and a big hoodie, I'm gonna be in denial and put it down to the weight of my clothes!

I have exercised SO much this week and drank my daily share of water, i'll be so disappointed if i'm up tomorrow night!!

[BaileyPants]

Well although I have made good choices since my WI last week, I have neglected to track. What is wrong with me, I know that I'm only codding myself if I don't track coz how can you know what points you've had. Must measure & focus. Sigh..

Does anyone know how much the WW food scales are and if they're any good? The digital one I have is starting to give up on me!!

[intouch44]

I'm almost embarrassed to post in here, despite the best of intentions I completely over indulged this weekend but I really enjoyed it so all I can do is forget about it and move on, have been very bad today though so seriously need to cop on!

Anybody any ideas of PP value of long island iced teas? (almost afraid to find out tbh!)

[Cliodhna26]

Long Island Ice Teas are 7pp (According to SkinnyDolls' Blog)

I dunno about the WW one but if you're looking for a new digital one, I only got one on Friday on offer in Tesco for €12. It's a good one too

I have a salter one for the past year from Argos, was only a tenner too.

The WW ones are €50 and WELL not worth the money in my opinion.

Ugh girls. Feeling depressed, knew I shouldn't have stepped on the scales, feel real bloated and scales has me the same (TOTM was 10 days ago ). And I was good at the weekend and have exercised twice so far and going to Zumba tonight. Really was hoping for 1-2lb loss this week
