Just had my first weigh in on my shiny new salter scales!
Anyways I STS! I'm kinda peeved cos I pointed absolutely religiously for the week! BUT (and i know this is an ongoing debate..) It's the first time ever I've eaten all 49 weeklies?!!
I'm not sure if this is a contributor, it wasn't intentional either i just needed extra points every day because I'm starving with study!!
On the other hand as I'm chained to my desk I have the luxury of being cooked for now and while I have pointed everything there has defo been an increase in my 'food mix' as such this week-much more carbs than I would normally have. I don't ususally eat potatoes but had them for dinner 4/5 eves this week...
Can't really change this until after exams as I'm giving them priority and dont have time to plan/cook.
Hoping maybe my body just needs a week to adjust back after its "break" lol.
Anyways, new week and I've just started it with my first ever bowl of porridge!! I was fab-I had it with blueberries.really hoping it will beat the wheatabix and keep me fuller for longer!!
@Monife I had BLT yesterday on WW wrap
Great minds eh.. it was nom!
The June bank hol is one month away..-7lbs anyone??!
Yes I'll take the -7lbs by that weekend! Nothing like a bit of a challenge or goal!0 -

oooh lil discovoery for my fellow porridge eaters
ALL flavours of readybrek, original, honey, chocolate, are 3pp per 30g....they also stay at 3pp if you go for 35g :P
in the bowl 30g of readybrek looks ALOT more than 30g of flavhans. and different flavours give a few options
Oh thanks Lainy. I eat the porridge some mornings but do find it kind of boring. but i loved readybrek and havent had it in years. going to get some this wk 0 -

The ww leader didn't ask me what my goal was , do i need to tell her this?
Some leaders don't discuss your final goal with you until you've lost a most of the weight as they don't want you to think its too far away. They prefer you to take it a lb at a time. My leader only asked me last week what I'd like to get to and that's after 8 months. Its still not the official goal though.Yes I'll take the -7lbs by that weekend! Nothing like a bit of a challenge or goal!
Count me in. I'm doing the mini-marathon that weekend so once these exams are over I plan on getting some training in for that so hopefully it'll kill 2 birds with one stone
Had a very bad day foodwise yesterday. Was wrecked after my exam yesterday so just binged on chocolate and then didn't have dinner because I felt guilty about all the junk I ate :eek: I pointed most of it though so just gonna leave it and start a fresh today. Still should be within my weeklies though so it shouldn't do too much damage. Still hoping to be down a lb on Weds though so gonna be extra good.
Lainy enjoy your night out you're in the middle of exams so you deserve it 0 -

I've been meaning to tell ye, I have type 2 diabetes, diagnosed a few years ago, blood levels went thru the roof after Xmas, was feeling crappo etc, GP upped my tablets and put me in for a call to see the endicrinologist with a view to being put on insulin. Have the appointment for May 24th. Tried healthy eating on my own with varying degrees of success re my blood sugar levels and zero weight loss. However since starting WW my bloods are consistently within the "normal" range, and the bonus losing weight too! Don't think I'll be a candidate for insulin shots now!
Well done, will you still have to take the tablet, I have to lose weight to keep diabetes away, had it while I was expecting and on loads of insulin 7 injections a day. do not miss it at all, took a few weeks for my blood sugars to return to normal which meant I had to stay on the diet and check my fasting levels, only got the go ahead to stop two weeks ago my GTT came back great. now to keep it that way. keep up the good work
I had the points on Thursday to get a takeaway its been I say about a year or more since Ive had one LOL, I got a special chow mein and it was muck could not eat it at all felt yuck after wards as well any one else find that!0 -

I don't agree with the leader asking people to ignore the child. thats horrible in my opinion. I have kids myself and I don't stay to meetings at all because we have 4 kids altogether one being 5 months old and my meeting is at half 5 so its an akward time to be staying. I don't bring the kids with me, I did once. I brought in my 2 yr old and my 11 yr old but as I said i only get weighed. but if i did stay with them I would be so annoyed if she said that about me :mad:
on another topic I had to get a filling this afternoon and my mouth is still numb!!! I'm trying to think here what to have for my dinner but really want my mouth to be back to normal before I eat lol
Oh I bought that minute steak in Aldi today. How many pp are in them again?
4pp for the minute steaks:)0 -

Lovely post Lainy
I'm halfway through my exams. Not sure how I've done, I have a horrible feeling I'm going to be very disappointed when my results come out.
Blown a lot of weeklies on junk food this week but exams are my priority, so if eating half a ton of chocolate makes me feel better so be it.
Made chicken and broccoli pasta bake for dinner, 10pp per portion, with some steamed veg.
Going to be cheeky and have a glass of wine tonight too, no more exams until Tuesday!
For some reason I'm feeling very sorry for myself so I went into Easons and bought myself a new notebook and highlighter, always makes me feel better about studying, I'm a stationery whore :P
This time next week I'll be finished....bring it on!!0 -
