Hi folks,

I have been on the missing list from here for weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks now! Between one thing and another I have been up and down in the motivation stakes....

I haven't been to class in 4 weeks but im going back tomorrow. At my last WI I was 10st 1.5lb, so I had got within 8.5lb of my goal. Like I said I have been really good some days and reeeeeeeeeeeeally bad others. A look at my scales over the weekend and I was flopping between 10st 1 & 10st 3lb... this morning I was 10st 2lb... Going to be really good today and tomorrow and hopefully I will STS, which i would be delighted about.

Exercise has been non existant bar a few short walks so that is definitely back on the menu in the Ali Household tonight.....

I may have lost my motivation a little but I have never been so close to goal before and I really don't want to throw the towel in now.

33lbs down 8.5 to go!!!!

Welcome back Ali - was just wondering how you were getting on the other day. Great that you are so close to goal, and judging by the scales even if you are up it would only be by a pound or 2 which is fantastic after being missing 4 weeks. I know i could prob do a lot more damage in those weeks. Best of luck with the WI!

Well after four long weeks of Sts and being good and on track. I kept persevering!
Went out for dinner this week and had a free treats but 90% on track! Went to weigh in and .......
DOWN 4lb!!!! DELIGHTED!!!

9lb down in 7 weeks! I'm happy with that!

tryagain2012

I was up 1lb last week but have been quite good since and have really up'd the exercise. I was so proud of me, i ran 4.1 KM last night with out stopping (that .1 very important:p) I would never have been able to do that in the past. But now im carrying over 2 stone less which makes moving around alot easier, but im still nervous about wi on thursday as always. well done to everyone on your losses and best of luck to those who are still wating to wi

Well done That is brilliant. It just goes to show that if you get a result (or 4) on the scales that you don't deserve/expect but you continue to persevere, you will see the results you deserve. Great loss

Thanks Tiny. I got a text from Mary last week that really spurred me on to get my backside in gear.

I have really noticed the lack of exercise. My belly seems a bit too loose for my liking.

You are getting on really well too... so good to log back on and see so many of the folks I winged to at the start.... You lot are keeping me from throwing in the towel..... It CAN BE DONE!!!!

Mary is great for keeping track of everyone. She text me when I missed one class (had gone to a different day/time that week) but its so nice to know she cares. She will be def happy to see you at WI.

I can't say enough how great this thread is, seeing people do so well and getting advice when we're struggling. Best thing I ever found.

Hey all,

I am a total new face to this thread (yay!) but have been reading back over the past few pages - there is ALOT! But it is great for getting some tips on recipes and seeing the encouragement that is offered for everyone. Really inspiring!

My stats: 5'9, starting WW at 11: 9lbs and this is my third week on it. Lost 7 pounds in my first week so down to 11.2lbs but then stayed the same at last nights meeting so a tinchy bit down over that - although I know its just me leveling out! Anyway in it until I make it to 10 even - absolute goal weight!

siobhanoh

A new thread how exciting! Once again I was good during the week and bad at the weekend and I was down 0.5 today. I am only 2 lbs away from a stone but I can't find the motivation to be good at the weekends!

I am feeling great though, I was working with proper models at the weekend and felt confident beside them were a few weeks ago I would hide away. I would like to lose another 10/14 lbs so that I have a bit of room to go up/down a few pounds. I think the WW goal that I was set is only 2.5 lbs away but I know I can get down at least another 10lbs as I have done it before.

had a bad enough weekend and wasnt all that great 2day either, head is only half in the game, going to a mornin WI 2morrow as im off, goin to walk there and bac (its just over an hour each way) im not lookin forward to it to say the least, im startin to get a bit bored again, not with WW but just in general and thats when im a danger to myself!! im off to florida in october and sooo badly want to be in a bikini over there, but something my head is messing with me, its likr the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other! i just need to prioritise myself and this WW journey for awhile and try to banish all these devilish negative thoughts!!lol
i also need to plan more, i do well when i plan but its not always easy in my house because my mother doesnt do planning ahead and isnt as strict as i am when it comes to cooking!! must definatly tackle that issue and regain control of the kitchem!!
FX for the morning!!!

I'm the exact same as you. the last few weeks, my head is all over the place. I cant seem to settle myself back to WW at all. Like you, I really want to continue doing this, but I'm finding it difficult to shut the devil on that shoulder up at the moment. I've another 2 stone to lose, and I'd really love to see this out this time. I'm afraid that if I don't manage to get myself back in the game then all my good work will go out the window!

Eabhabear

Well done on the losses and welcome to those coming back or starting out

It will be a miracle if I'm not up tomorrow. It was my birthday on Thursday and it has been non stop since. I was out for dinner 3 times had copious amounts of alcohol and non stop nibbles of junk. Oh and zero exercise. Still a very good weekend I'm going to try and do a few DVDs today and hope the damage won't be too much!

Danii86

WI this mrn as im off 2day, down 3 but i dont know how much of that is deserved as i went from a pm to am WI!! Walked over 5.25miles this morn, 3to my meetind and over another 2into town!! My nike+ app has it @burning approx 500 cals so gona give it about 6activity points....does that seem about right??

Had a lovely lunch 2day of 50g(raw) pasta, 100g prawns, a tsp of pesto, tblsp xtra light mayo, lemon juice and chopped parsley all mixed together and served with some rocket, really tasty and filling with some melon after all 4 8pp!!!

Happy Birthday Eabhabear!! You're birthday only comes around oce a year so if you're up then you're up and dont worry. I'll be in the same boat as you next week so hoping for a good loss tonight to slightly balance it out! Not sure I'll get it though, still feeling bloated even though I know i was good!

I've been struggling to get back on track properly as well. I've found that if I'm good at least 5 out of 7 days then I'm doing well. Until you get back in the right frame of mind try and be good as many days as possible. If you have a bad day then don't right off the rest of the day. Try and be good the next day and try and do as much exercise as possible. One thing spurring me on at the moment is that my clothes are starting to get a bit tight on me and I'm after spending a fortune on new clothes so I really don't want to put back on the weight.

Thanks! Sometimes I find that the bloating is only our imagination as we're nervous about WI. I know that sounds kind of stupid but you may be surprised at WI

ck83

Right folks! I'm back... had a great weekend in London town... lots and lots and lots of walking, and not a bad weekend food wise either. This is no harm, because as I mentioned in my post above, I've been a bit all over the place lately. I can't seem to motivate myself to get back into tracking and all the rest like I was before. I'll track most stuff, weigh out food for my meals etc, but then eat a couple of sneaky biscuits and pretend it didn't happen.

I skipped my WI last week, because I just couldn't face into it. I've gotten back into really bad habits lately, coming out of WI and eating everything in sight. I know if I'd gone last week I'd have been way up on the week before. I also know that that would have set me back, and made me say "feck it"!

I'm back to work in just over 4 weeks, and originally my goal had been to be 13st by then... then I readjusted it to be 13 st 7 (i.e 4 st gone). that was realistic until I had this major negative attitude overhaul. I was 14 st 2 at my last WI.

I'm not putting any timings on my mini goals from now. I'm just going to do what I can, and see how I get on. I'm going to share with you all firstly the story of my weight watchers journey, as I really enjoyed reading everyone elses last week, but didn't have time to write mine down, and secondly my mini-goals. I'm hoping this might help me to draw a line under the bad run I've had lately and really get back in the game now.

For anyone who wasn't around the thread last week, Eabhabear suggested we all share our weightloss stories to date!

So... I've always been a bit on the large side. Not fat, I've realised lately, but I would have been a fine strong child, teenager, young woman. When I finished third year of college, I joined WW for the first time with a couple of friends of mine. I'd have been 21 at the time, 7 whole years ago. I started out at 13 st 10- I'm 5'9", so I wasn't really that terribly large (I just checked there, my BMI would have been 28.4), but my god, I thought I was huge. I did really well that summer, got down to about 11st 13- I can still remember that my goal was 11st 10, but when I was going back to college, I decided to leave my meetings and go it alone, rather than finding myself a new meeting near college. After that, my weight crept up gradually. I can't remember the actual numbers. I've got no real reason to explain it... I've had my ups and downs just like the next person, but no major "excuse" as it were. Nothing to blame my weight gain on, other than an actual love of nice things. Not even fatty meals, takeaways etc, mainly chocolate, sweets, the odd bag of crisps. I've joined WW (and unislim aswell once) countless times since then. I've lived and worked in a good few different places since that point, and I actually think I joined WW in every single place... I have a mental index of WW leaders that's quite impressive. Always lost a few pounds, but always given up. I'd lose the pounds in quite an unhealthy way, never actually modifying my lifestyle that much... I'd eat smaller meals, but keep too many points for treats, all that jazz.
Then last year I knew things were getting a bit ridiculous. I was at my heaviest, and I was not happy. When you're miserable in your own skin, you know it's time to do something. I'd remained quite active all the time (my job would require me to be on my feet all the time, and walking around a good bit during the day, and I'd always have been good to go out for walks etc), but my job also would keep me in a fairly good supply of the evil chocolate too. Noone ever mentioned it to me, but I'm sure ppl must have noticed the spread, esp my mam and my OH (who I met in 2009).
So Jan 2011, I considered my options. I considered doing the whole motivation thing at that stage, but I just didn't have the money. I was due to go to Australia in May for a month with a friend, and I was dreading it. Lots of fat girl photographs. The trip of a lifetime, and I'd come home and put the photos in the back of a drawer and try to forget about them. To top it off, I had about a zillion weddings last year, and didn't want to be miserable for those too. So once again, I joined WW. I knew it was a bit late, and that I wasn't exactly going to reach goal in the space of about 12 weeks, but I said I'd give it my best none the less. So off I went, started on propoints, saw a bit of a loss, (I think I did about 4 weeks) and then bang -early March last year, found out I was pregnant. Not planned, but not bad news by any means. I think my last WI was about 16 st. So obviously weight loss went on hold (I still went to Oz, still have lots of photographs... at least I can call them pregnant photos and not fat photos though!!). I didn't gain crazy weight that year, and I always told myself that I'd be off to WW the first week of January, with my 2 month old baby in tow.
And that's just what I did. I weighed in at 17st 7... not exactly a shock, but not something I was proud of. I did really well for the first while. It's been about 28 weeks, and I've lost 47lb, or 3 st 5lb. of course, that's minus whatever I'll be up when I WI in the morning... I'm expecting about 3 lb. In my current stint, I've missed 2 classes- one for a genuine reason, and one because I couldn't face it. I've been up twice. I'm doing too well to let this go this time... I really want that 50lb cert, and my next 2 stone, and 5 more silver sevens!

So that brings me to my mini goals
1) lose 2 lb to get my next silver seven
2) another 1 lb to get my 50 lb cert and into the 13's for the first time in many years
3) another 3 after that to get to 13 st 10, where I was when I joined WW all those years ago.
4) 3 lb after that to my fourth stone
5) 7 lb after that to my ninth silver seven

and that's enough for anyone to be getting on with...
This is the longest post I've ever written. Sorry!!!

Hi All,

I'm on day 2 of only 26 pp WOW is it tough, how does everyone else manage it?!

I wouldn't have thought that the extra 3pp would make that much of a difference but holy crap!

Eabhabear, I read your little intro a few pages back (on the old thread) and I love it our stories are v simillar. I started in Feb 2010 at 15 3 with a goal of 11 7. I hit a major plateau between 11 10 and 12 and was there for MONTHS. I eventually got to 11 8 and my leader had to adjust my goal up one for me because she said I clearly wasn't meant to be much smaller than that. Its so nice to hear simillar stories here because in my class I was one of the only girls with a long way to go from the start. It felt like everyone was getting to goal before me!

Weighed myself on Sunday and it transpires I've gained ten lbs, I'm horrified that I've let myself slip but I'm adamant I'm going to win again!

*goes off to forage for fruit in the office :rolleyes:

ck83 just had to say I love your story too, I missed out on all the story sharing last week while I was eating! its so inspiring to read everyones stories there's really not enough of that in class so its great to have this forum for it

9lb down in 7 weeks! I'm happy with that!

That's great!! So glad you stuck with it. I reckon going down to the 26pp must have helped. You must have given the body a shock the last couple of weeks that it didn't wanna give up the pounds It always shows in the end if you've put the work in!

tiny_penguin

Down another pound!! Delighted with it. Have my birthday tomorrow so a couple of celebration nights that I have to contend with but gonna do my best with the planning and hopefully minimise the damage!

Well done on all the loses peeps!!!

Sooo i was my gp 2day and was telling him about how my weight is comming off vury slowly, now hormone issues are in my fam and im on the pill because of them, iv yet 2 b tested 4 and diagnosed with pcos but its almost probable i have it. So my doc has changed my pill and if im not happy with the weight loss in 3 months im to go back and hes going to possibly put me on this diabetic medication thats now being used for pcos people to help them shift the weight!! Im goin to really up the pace now, think i needed a bit of a professional kick to get me going again, so were going to hav to see what happens.

Had a scrummy lamb stirfry 4 dinner, with wholegrain straight to wok noodles i got in aldi 2day, 6pp for the individual pouch, but as their whilegrain do people think they may be free on F&H like wholegrain pasta and rice???

Definitely stick at it and make this week even better and you will be pleasantly shocked on the scales next week. I gained 1.5lb a few weeks ago when I was really good and went to the gym 4 times. Was so enraged that I ate all around me for the whole week and I STS the following week, when I should have been up. My loss would have shown if I had of stayed on track

Getting on good. Was down 1.5lb last week Have been to the gym twice so far this week. Been good with my food so hoping for another loss this week

So I just made the biggest pot of chickpea and bns stew for my lunches for the week. Whole pot is only 8pp and it will do at least 6 servings. So 2pp a serving to be safe for my lunches for the week will make sure I keep as many pp for birthday treats.

Good luck with the WIs everyone!!

Well my week in the US last week was slightly disastrous.

Food in the meeting room all day (I tried to stick to fruit and stay away from the sweeties) but BIG dinners and wine and no exercise did NOT help!

Anyhoo, I was bold all weekend and back into the swing of it since Monday.
Been back to the gym and going again tonight, would really like to stem as much of the damage from last week as possible.

One good thing is that I got a lovely pair of jeans (70% off) in Banana Republic US Size 10. They fit so perfectly and I was sure they were a UK Size 14 but when I checked this morning I'm still a 12 - relief!

It's amazing what numbers can do ... :rolleyes:

Well done That is brilliant. It just goes to show that if you get a result (or 4) on the scales that you don't deserve/expect but you continue to persevere, you will see the results you deserve. Great loss

That's great!! So glad you stuck with it. I reckon going down to the 26pp must have helped. You must have given the body a shock the last couple of weeks that it didn't wanna give up the pounds It always shows in the end if you've put the work in!

Thanks Girls!! Delighted! The boyfriend is also down 9lb in the same time! He hasn't much to lose so thats amazing!!

Its my birthday on Saturday and we're going to Barcelona on Tuesday! Will be hard to keep on track but I'm gonna try have treats but point them! Hope Its not too bad! I'll miss weigh in tuesday so I'm going to try go monday instead!

I dunno why but I am super hungry today. I think its cos i only had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast (had half a melon though so a fair amount of fruit).

Had a big portion of my bns & chickpea stew for lunch and usually anything with either of those ingredients I find super filling for most of the day but not today. I had a mini twix there a while ago but im hungry again.

Out for dinner tonight and have 19pp left that i wanna keep. How do i keep my mind off food!!

The curry was just butternut squash, aubergine, peppers, onions and courgettes - tikka curry powder, tinned tomatoes, stock and some WW cream to make it creamy. Sauted off the veg with the curry powder, added the tomatoes and enough stock to cover the veg and simmered until the veg were tender. Then stirred though the cream. Was 1pp per serving cos of the cream but it would be tasty without for 0pp per serving. (stock and curry powder only 2pp and got 5 portions out of mine so without the cream 0 is good)

Just had an apple that didnt help things and now onto some tea to see if that helps fill me.

Up a pound and a half at this mornings WI. Happy enough with that considering my recent lack of discipline/tracking. I've been better today than the last few Wednesday's after WI, and I'm determined to track properly this wk. I've 3.5 lb to reach my next silver seven (my seventh), and 4.5 to my 50lb cert. bring them on!!

Thanks for that tiny penguin, I'll make that also during the week!

Hi folks,

I have been on the missing list from here for weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks now! Between one thing and another I have been up and down in the motivation stakes....

I haven't been to class in 4 weeks but im going back tomorrow. At my last WI I was 10st 1.5lb, so I had got within 8.5lb of my goal. Like I said I have been really good some days and reeeeeeeeeeeeally bad others. A look at my scales over the weekend and I was flopping between 10st 1 & 10st 3lb... this morning I was 10st 2lb... Going to be really good today and tomorrow and hopefully I will STS, which i would be delighted about.

Exercise has been non existant bar a few short walks so that is definitely back on the menu in the Ali Household tonight.....

I may have lost my motivation a little but I have never been so close to goal before and I really don't want to throw the towel in now.

33lbs down 8.5 to go!!!!

Welcome back Ali, thats great that you are so close to goal! keep it up now and you will have that precious gold card before you know it!
