Well done JoJoc!
Well I got my wii fit plus!!! Delighted with it! Did hour yesterday on it (cos of the novelty!) and 45 minutes today! Some of the muscles exercises and yoga are really challenging which is great. I'm still going to be gymming it though as I need to as I push on to goal! Waiting for local gym to get an offer in and if that doesn't happen soon I'll just pay the full whack
I feel my weight loss is somewhat stagnant at the moment so I want to give it a real push this week! I'd love 3 to get me to 60 pounds gone but that is just not gonna happen!!! :P Ha! I'll take half that very gladly please!
Really don't know what to do for dinner tonight as parents are away and am fending for myself
Any nice ideas for me!?:D x 0 -

have buttnernut squash roasted and a burger . Most normal size burgers are 2.5. So you could have it in a burger bun with onion,, laughing coe extra light/mayo/ketchup or whatever and it'll still work out below 5 points0 -
Do you know a burger sounds just yum! I may run down to my local shop now for some! MMmmmm With onion and low low cheese!
Thank you!
Yeah I love doing the yoga ones! I did yoga last year or so when I was weighing in at probably 16 stone and sure I couldn't do the half of them despite having been very limber when I was younger! Really annoyed me! On the Wii fit today I could do all of them including the shoulder stand which was impossible when I was heavy! It made me so happy to think I've come that far!

Firstly I have just read over my food diary (have to copy it for accupcunturest) and OHMYGOD:eek: all the support I have gotten from all of ye, all the kind words mean so much, reading over them, I don't think I would have stuck with the final furlong this long if it wasn't for the lot of ye!!!
Just wanted to say thanks to all of yeharvardgal wrote: »Hey am new to the thread but not to WW. I started 3 years ago today. At 5' 1 I weighed in at 10 stone 8.5lbs. After about 9 months I'd lost 2 stone 9.5lbs and was at 7st 13lbs. I loved it! But I'll admit it now, I actually looked awful. I looked Anorexic. Anyway, I went on the pill about 6 months later and bammm out of nowhere I'd half a stone back on and it was rising. It took me a while to admit it, as for 6 glorious months I'd been able to eat what I liked without having to count points or worry about putting on weight, as I just stayed at a steady 7 13. It was only when I decided to brave the scales at WW that I realised I was back up at 8 10 almost. Which wasn't a disaster really but to me it was, I felt like a failure for having let weight creep back on. Since then, almost a year now I have been yo yo'ing up a few pounds down a few and back up again. I have a week where I am very strict and loose, but if i break out a little from the 16 points I put up weight. I am going to try my best this year to break the yo yo cycle as its really starting to control my life. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on what I could do?? I'm 8 9 at the minute and would like to just get to and maintain 8 4 as anything less would not look good! Its the maintaining i'm having the big problem with. Sorry if I have rambled and this doesn't make sense.
Ah yes yo-yo dieting - welcome!!! I was the same its horrible!!!
You have to rethink your whole life - you can't think of this as a diet cos a diet leads to deprevation and also a diet has a end - weight loss / maintaining does not end!!! Its a live choice, :mad: but when you get there and keep it maintained you will be glad - read some of the diarys - you will see I have treats some days, but mostly I am good (the last week is not a good choice to read
) but writing it down defo helps, it keeps you on track and shows you were you are going wrong!!! Figure where your pitfalls are, mine are picking and snacking- I will happily nibble on a jelly baby or a grape - no difference to me, I will take a bar of chocolate or an apple - its about choice!! Sometimes I have to have the chocolate but normally I go for the fruit!!!!
Best of luck and there is alot of good support and advice here!!0 -

Hello again everyone.
So depite feeling quite down and unmotivated last week, I am still going at it. I got a little notepad that fits in my purse and I am using that to track now. It's a little thing but it's helping me anyway.
I went shopping for clothes yesterday for the first time since I started WW 4 months ago. The last time I was shopping I was a size 14 in tops, which is what prompted me to lose weight. Yesterday I bought two tshirts in a size 10, and tried on a dress that was too big so I had to get it in an 8!!! I'm not sure I even like it that much, I just like the size on the label
It has prompted me to continue on, especially with exercise. I'm not going to let the scales rule me either. I figure that with exercise I'll start putting on weight from muscle but, once I have reached a certain level of "tone" I'll start losing weight again. I dunno if that makes sense, but it does in my head, and I'll just work towards that!
Edit: I also meant to say that weighing food has made such a difference. This might sound so obvious but I found myself guesstimating everything and was so off. For instance, every morning I was having 30g of Rice Krispies at 1.5 points. When I started weighing them I discovered I was only eating 10g so I was able to have three times as much! This has a knock on effect as I now I am less hungry at lunch so I have a smaller lunch! I also eat later so I eat a later dinner so am less hungry in the evening an less likely to snack. I know it's so obvious but I said I'd share with all of you!
Hope everyone is getting along well!0 -

Went to killarney today and had my dinner, and was bold! Feel really guilty now, but am just going to try forget it and get back on track.
I went to m & s today and stocked up on a few count on us meals, so thanks for the heads up on the points on them, so much easier..0 -
Lads and lassies, not feeling the best at all
I feel like I am getting nowhere. I'm dancing around the 12 stone mark trying to break properly into the 11's for the past month. This is the worst stump I've had in my weight loss.
It's really getting me down. I'm not going to give up but I just don't know what to do to get my weight loss going again.
If I see 12 on the scales again I'm going to cry!
I'm cutting down on the crap and exercising but getting nowhere...
I just don't know what else I can do...0 -

Ah DWG, chica, you poor thing, I was the same until I did my food diary and finally cracked the 10st!!! All I can say is really watch what you eat this week and see how that works for you, try maybe low carb for a while?!? Its really frustrating when you plateau, but just remember how far you have come!!!! You have done so well, just keep with it and you will see 11 soon!!xxxxxxxxxxx0 -

The Options Hot chocolate drinks are only 0.5! They are yummy too but u make them with hot water not boiling or else u will burn your mouth. Boil kettle and let cool for few mins Lovely sweet treat. Curly Wurly is 2.5 Can't remember what Maltesers are, its been so long since I had them If u don't have points finder then let us know the calories and sat fat and can work it out for u 0

Thanks all for the support for my previous message! Still feeling down to be honest but I think it's a combination of lots of things and the weight loss issues are just fuel on the fire.
Still up on scales at the moment, and I know I need to just get off them and let it be. Still feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.
Trying my best today. Had a breakfast ( very unlike me!) and ate a good lunch and a good dinner. Have ideas for fairly ok treats to have this eve (homemade WW scones!) which is better than heading for the chocolate.
I'm keeping up the wii fit daily and putting in a good half hour at least on it. I just hope by Thursday my efforts have paid off. Going to dry and drown myself drinking water today aswell
