Hope everyone has had a good week so far! I'm heading out for a few tonight (cant wait!) so will be a little hungover tomorrow and will no doubt have the munchies.
I plan on using the reminder of my 49 weekly to cover this, and I want to plan ahead for it.
So - what do you all munch on after a night out???
I'm thinking of getting a WW pizza for the savoury factory and maybe a dessert for the sweet?0 -

The WW desserts are really nice and range from 2 - 5PP. If you are getting the WW pizza, organise a low PP side dish to go with it as I personally do not find just the pizza filling enough.
If I am trying to be good, I would have a nice fry for brunch (fried egg, 2 toast, 1/2 tin beans) and then I would make sure there are low PP snacks in the press (2PP crisps, WW bars, curly wurly, WW sweets). At least if you do snack, it will be low in PP. When bold (usually because there is nothing in the house and I am not prepared) it would be a roll with sausages and for the evening a takeaway. So the key is to be prepared! 0 -

Having reached my goal in weight watchers recently, my problem is not being able to take my foot off the pedal
7lb extra off and afraid to enjoy myself.
I'm the same, including the 7lbs extra off. I was out for a meal tonight, and I know that I'll be trying to 'make-up' for it until next weigh-in, even though I probably didn't even reach using all my 49 PPs. (But I enjoyed every mouthful!!!)0 -

Hey all, hope everyone had a good weekend got my second stone Friday morning, delighted with myself
so as everyone knows Christmas is barrelling down the road and the mince pies have started appearing in the biscuit tin! As this is my first Christmas doing weightwatchers I'm just wondering how some of the veterans (:P) deal with it? Like do people just forget about points for the week and make up for it after or do they try and stick to it to some extent? Just trying to figure out early how I'm gonna deal with it coz I love love love Christmas and don't want to be stressing out about what I'm gonna do when I could be getting excited instead
(sorry for the long post btw, couldn't figure out a shorter way to say what I wanted to) 0 -

I started weightwatchers last November and I had planned for Christmas to point and stay on track. But once Christmas Day came, that went out the window. So this year, I am going to try and be good every other day, like when I have nothing on, i'll be good, but at our work christmas party and christmas day etc, I am going to let myself have what I want, within reason.0 -

Hi all,
Well after been up last week by .5lb and blaming the exercise it paid off this week when I was down 3lbs... bringing my total loss to 2 stone 1.5lb in 15 weeks. It also meant that I reached my target of a stone gone by xmas. I'm absolutely delighted. Now just to keep it off....!! Still have a few more pounds I'd like to lose yet though.
But the most important thing I want to say is I couldnt have done it with out all of ye... logging on here every day and reading all ye're posts has really helped me on my weight loss journey.. Thanks you guys! Keep up the good work!!
Best of luck to everyone this week... If we all have good weeks coming up to xmas it'll make xmas soooo much better been able to fit into nice clothes! 0 -

Oh wow well done you thats a fantastic loss, you must be so thrilled and proud of yourself!!
Thats my kind of thinking 4 the build up to christmas, try be really good in the weeks leading up and then be able to splurge a bit when it comes around! Myself and my mum are getin all our prep work done, afternoons spent makin chutneys and decorating cakes etc. Very little of what were making aint very WW friendly but wev decided to try not binge and just have little bits of what we like rather than depriving ourselves!!!!0 -

Last year (well kinda this year!) my first WI back after Christmas, I lost 5lbs. I remember telling my leader before we broke for the hols that I would lose that much and she laughed and said I should be realistic as most people gain a few lbs. Here's a few pointers as to how I survived Christmas last year:
1. I set beforehand the days that I would allow myself off. They were Christmas Day, Stephens Day and New Years Eve. I didn't point and I allowed myself to enjoy my dinner without worrying. In saying that we never were a massive dessert family at Christmas and all I had for dessert was jelly and icecream (I'm still a child at heart
)
2. I had more time on my hands to exercise. So I went for long walks each day.
3. Besides the days I had off, any other nights out were treated as I would on a normal WW week.
4. If you do the shopping, ask yourself do I really need to get this cake in case auntie jane or uncle john stop by. The shops all open right throughout the hols and these type of stuff are often cheaper after Christmas day. Buy what you need and if you buy extra put them in the boot of the car, up on the attic or in the shed if you can. At least then they won't be staring at you in the press
5. Set yourself targets. Set yourself the limit that you will allow yourself to be up on your first WI back. Or even better set yourself what you'd like to lose. If you have scales at home weigh yourself on your normal WI day so you can keep the damage to minimum!
ETA:
6. Go on maintenance for Christmas week. Find out your points and stick to them for the week!
Sorry for the long post but they're just some things that I did last year. If I think of more I'll post them up!0
