Back from WI. Was down 3lbs (had gained 3lbs last week), so very pleased with that. Planning to be extra good this week to make sure the weekend just past doesn't show up on next week's WI!
My kitchen is finally in (the fitters just left 5 mins ago). Now I just have to clean it so I can get back to some healthy cooking & eating. There is sawdust everywhere - & not just in the kitchen!Ps Fofany body & soul sounded fab I really wanted to go but couldn't justify 2 festivals in a row but it does sound wonderful & you had a great time! The B&S part of electric picnic is my favorite area just so chilled & relaxing
B&S was brilliant. I'm sure you would have loved it - but there's always next year! We stayed with my brother-in-law who lives 20 mins from Ballinlough, so we were able to go back to his, put the kids to bed & then head back out again at night. Still can't get the smell of campfires out of my coat! Feeling really run down today though after it all - sore throat, ears & head. If I had been camping, I would have blamed that. Just need a few days of taking it easy to recover again.0 -
Harr that's a great result & I echo what Monife said to a tee a stone a month is alot & sometimes when ppl set these goals if they don't meet them they fall off the wagon completely. I know how committed you are to this journey so keep it up! You've done it before you'll do it again
Shazza guys tend to lose weight alot quicker especially when they exercise they tend to burn more ( I know not the same for all guys & some ladies lose alot as well!) alot of us women on here are losing at a lb or less per week but to be honest I'd rather be losing 1/2 a lb a week consistently so say 2lb a month than be down 4 & up 3 & yo yoing at least it's coming & staying off 0 -
Just a thought but maybe you could have a light pants and tshirt in a bag and do a quick change before WI in future, just so you are not worried about it????COuld just keep them in the car for WI days, be handy. Hope you get on ok at WI today.Weigh in at lunchtime and I'm dreading it. It's not that I've been bad because I haven't but because the weather is so bad today I've got loads more clothes on and a pair of boots, which is a lot heavier than my normal attire. I weighed myself with and without this morning and there was a 4 pound difference than there normally is so I'll be doing amazingly to even STS. Ah well, At least I know what's wrong and am prepared. Plus, Hopefully it'll be nicer next week and there'll be a nice big loss to make up for it. I made this really amazing pad Thai noodle dish last night for my lunch for a couple of days. I use low fat bacon medalions and it is so filling but only 7 points. Something to look forward to.
Hope everyone is doing well today given the rotten weather
Oh and would you be able to post the recipe for the Pad Thai Noodle dish, sounds yum!!! Thanks.

Well done on your loss, its really good but just wondering how did you always manage 3lb losses all along, id be lucky to lose a pound a week if not half a pound!!!!
Hi not sure how,i use all my dallies and only half my weeklys and none of activity points and this would all ways give me a loss of 2.5 and 3 pounds but now i am doing the same and only losing a pound or so a week

its just that the last time i did WW i lost a stone or more a month in fact i lost 5.5 stone in 5 months so i was expecting the same this time round..i am now 4 years older and have 2 kids under 4 so maybe the years have started to catch up on me and with the kids dont have the same time to put into it.:) I one thing i did different the last time was to give up the drink0 -

:eek::eek::eek: really?! That's amazing! Alcohol could be a factor but when I was at the dr's last wk the nurse was chatting to me & said I was right to be doing it now that metabolism slows down after 31 or so.... How true that is I don't know
How are you finding pp overall? ( with the exception of this WI) do you prefer the food choices over the old plan? For me this plan is better due to the fruit & the weeklies but maybe if the old plan worked so well for you maybe consider swapping over to that for a while? I'm not sure that many ppl are getting big losses on this plan over the older one I think pp promotes 1-2lbs per week with the emphasis on healthy sustainable WL
It may be a 'freak week' & you'll see a delayed result nxt week from all the exercise. Dont lose heart you're doing great 0 -
I prefer the PP but it now looks the old way worked best for me,i will stick to the PP because i find much healthier with the free fruit and 49 weeklies is a great idea,my leader did say that the PP system is for loss of between 1 and 2 pound a week.:eek::eek::eek: really?!

There are a few other men in my WW who did the old points as well and found that they lost the weight a lot faster on the old system.
For this week i am not going to have any beer and also giving up the diet coke and i will have my cheat meal earlier in the week .My new goal is now to be 11 stone by Christmas
.
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions and the little push that i needed.0 -

Heya, Thanks, That's actually a good idea. So I was up 1lb but I'm not actually too worried about that as was prepared for anything up to 4 but am glad it was just the 1. If I work hard again this week then hopefully next week's loss will cover the 2 weeks.
Well, I haven't really found a recipe for Phad Thai sauce that I like yet so I cheat a bit and use either the amoy or blue dragon one, I forget which, but it's 4 pp for the whole pack, then I add a packet of low fat bacon medallions which is 4 pp, 300g of cooked egg noodles which is 6pp and then for no points, some garlic, spring onions, 2 x peppers and some red onion. Oh, and Tesco do this garlic pepper grinder thing which is delicious for flavour. I add it to most dishes I make and you can really taste the difference. So the whole thing makes 2 big lunches for 7pp each or you could prob split into 3 smaller ones for a little less if you wanted.0 -

Souns Yum, will def try that so, will have to look at the ingredients in those packs tho, as im allergic to a few things! Thanks a mil. Thats great about your WI at least it wasnt what you thought, and realisiticly you have prob lost a 1lb or 2lb if you were wearing the heavy clothes and boots, bet you will have a good WI next week.Heya, Thanks, That's actually a good idea.

ha i wish its the tesco finest meringue nests, 30 cals each, and the avonmore light cream is 7pp for 100ml so 30ml is just over 2 points and its enough. Its nice to have actual cream in moderation :-)0 -
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone could tell me how many propoints I am allowed. I am 5.5 and around 12st 10lbs. Am joining ww tomorrow (yet again), but this will be my 1st time using the pp system and would like to get a head start. There doesn't seem to be a calculator on the website to figure out your points allowance.
Thanks 0 -

More to the point I think the coast sizing is a bit big but its a friggin size 10!!!!!!The 12 was way to big :eek:I don't actually remember wearing a 10 from been like 11 or 12 years old .Bit worried about it though, its a serious standing dress and does have a tendency to ride up a little, exercising for nonstop for the next 10 days me thinks 0 -
