Hi Dubgirl, you may be down next week you could be getting your period or it could be that you body did kinda go into starvation mode!!! If it says eat 18 try eat 18,specially if you are exercising 5 out of 7 days!!!

Best of luck next week...

wow this is amazing!! Congrats

Girls I need a bit of advice - Does anyone else have a few drinks during the week? i'm quite partial to a glass of wine or two (sometimes a bottle!)during the week and its become a bit of a habit! a habit that now im in WW I want to break and limit my alcohol to the weekend or every second one so I can be extra good with my points!

any advice would be appreciated

Thanks!

I got into this habit over the past few months and it really is a dangerous one, not just for your waistline! I usually stay with my boyfriend one evening during the week and we'd nearly always polish off 1 or even 2 bottles of wine if I was there, despite having work the next morning. Then we'd be together every night of the weekend (including Sunday) so if we weren't going out (drinking!) we'd stay in and easily polish off a couple of bottles of wine (often leading to the wine munchies, which is another reason why it's detrimental to your weight!) That's sometimes up to 4 nights drinking a week! Absolutely crazy.

I've tried to cut down to only drinking one night a week now and I feel so much better for it. When I think now about how much I was drinking, it was really bad I'm out two nights this weekend and am driving tonight so no drinking, then will have a few tomorrow night. I did allow myself a couple of glasses of wine during the week after an exam but that was it. There's been a bottle chilling in the fridge for the past few nights and haven't touched it!

I've also tried to change my drink to vodka & diet 7up when I'm out as it's less points, but I absolutely love my wine so I usually don't end up sticking to the vodka!

Just make sure you don't have wine in the house to tempt you during the week. I know after a long day that the thought of a glass is so tempting, but I've definitely noticed the difference with cutting down to once a week. It's different for everyone though, I'd probably over-indulge a bit on a night out so that's why one night a week is more than enough!

Hey hey...thanks for all the nice posts...means alot it really does..!!

Basically since thurs iv had a bit of a bender...:D Dinner and drinks thurs...friday was ok...sat major girly nite out with alcohol galore and today...have consumed alot of food due to major hangover :eek::eek: oh an no gym thurs sat or today :(

hey everyone,

i am so wishing it wasn't monday not in a mood to work at all!

i'm really looking forward to some time off roll on the bank holiday weekend!;) had a good weekend didn't over eat by too many points didn't manage to get any exercise in though so i'll try rectify that this week

ibarleycare i'd suggest drinking spritzers made with sparkling water that way less alcohol & you'll drink less wine too might make a bit of a difference. everyone has different attitudes to drinking i hate to be overly politically correct i enjoy a good few bottles of bulmers light a couple of times a week which will in all honestly always always end up being more than recommended weekly units. oh & watch the size of your glass too that can hike up the points as well my leader poured a whole bottle of wine into a large wine glass!

hope everyone had a good weekend & best of luck with weigh in this week

Hi everyone,

My god if you were thinking of giving up ww after reading some of the replies you would def think again, its great to see so many people with real stories of weight loss congrats to ye all.

I had my first weigh in since starting last wednesday evening and I lost 2ibs I was a wee bit disapointed as I thought I had been quite good so hopefully this wednesday ill have a bit more off.

On the drinking front I had 8 vodkas & diet cokes on friday nite and it came to 12 points when you write it down its a lot isnt it I was mad with myself and had to save lots of points each day to get them back im on 19 and I try to save 3 but 16 points is hard in a day doesnt leave much space for treats I do love the velvet crunch our leader says there 1 point but I make up as 1 1/2 if there 81 cals per bag then you dont look at 80 you look at the next number up which is 100 and then work our the sac fat is that not correct??

Well that was friday and i have tryed to be good since cooked a roast chicken sunday 1 point per slice how ever my wonderful husband craved the hell out of it and it crumbled in to noting so im not sure how much i ate. I did stay away from the roasties though and went for the boiled patatoes instead.

Well roll on wednesday till I see how much chicken I really had. hope ye all have a good week.

Since it's only 1 calorie difference, it's safe enough to round down to 80 calories. When I'm pointing things, I don't always round up, I just round to whatever is the nearest figure on the chart, be it up or down! You make up the difference either way anyway.

I've had a not great week. Was celebrating exams finishing on Wednesday so was eating out and drinking. Went out on Saturday night, didn't even bother counting how many points I drank! Was quite hungover yesterday but started off really good, just had cornflakes for breakfast, but then ended up getting a takeaway last night...Indian of all things! It was the only thing I'd had since breakfast so I guess it's not TOO bad, but I'm still annoyed at myself! The only saving grace was that I could barely eat half of it!

I wish my WI was nearer the end of the week so I could have longer to recover from the weekend! I'm going to try not to get onto the scales between now and tomorrow evening. I know if I don't like what I see I'll chicken out from my WI! I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed!
