Hey how is everyone.. im still doing ok.. weigh in on thurs hopefully have tests in the morning so hopefully il make class!!
Well done Havana tats amazing.. couldn agree more about the weighing its really helped me out!!
Was just wondering if any of you do much exercise/training.. i try to do four good intense sessions per week aswell as 20-30 min walks 5 days (to work and back).. I have been given a plan to follow from a trainer in order to burn more fat and gain muscle and lose the pounds.. its 6 small meals a day and will be the 29 points a day.. Just wondering if anyone does anything like this already ..
Any help greatly appreciated
Well done on all the losses.. !! Im prayin for 2lbs on thurs.!!
Thanks, Shell x0 -

I cook it and drain it in a colander and even wash it with boiling hot water and it does the trick nicely as well0 -

Well I've had a terrible week food wise. I well and truly fell off the wagon. I just got into one of those moods where I was tired of pointing and constantly watching what I ate. I feel so bloated now.
My new week starts tomorrow and I'm determined to get back on track. I'm working towards my 2nd stone which I have still to get :mad:
Well done to all those who have lost. Havana your post has really inspired me to get back on track and keep working towards goal. You've done so well 0 -

Hey all,
Some great losses well done everyone!! I'm feeling very deflated this evening after WI
Was only 1 pound away from my first stone, was really good all week only had 12 out of the weeklies and up a half! I just can't figure it out :mad: It's now 17 weeks in and I've managed 12.5lbs. Don't get me wrong I'm 12.5lbs lighter which is great but it's so slow and I haven't faltered once make an effort every week, track plan, portion and still. Just a bit disheartening is all. Thanks for listening to me rant guys. The OH for some reason just doesn't get it :rolleyes: 0 -
Down 1.5. Delighted!
My leader started a 12 weeks to Christmas challenge. So my goal is a pound a week on average. So that would have me 2lb more than my original stone for Christmas goal. She gives us a star any week we have a loss too. Three in a row now. They're so shiny!
I think all the stars and silver sevens make it exciting lol well done!! 0 -
Up 1/2 a lb! What is wrong with me? I was doing really well and had barely eaten any of my weeklies and saw no budge on my own scales and thought f*ck it, all this hard work for nothing and then went and ate the rest of my weeklies. Really annoyed at the plan tbh. It says if you eat your dailies plus your weeklies you will lose 1-2lb per week but that has never happened for me.
I really am at a loss. By the end of July I had lost 50lb, and between arsing around and my wedding, I am now at 43lb lost and that still took me longer than it should. I guess I haven't been doing this properly since April (started last November). I still have 77lb to lose
I just don't know how to find the motivation I had in the first 6 months. I can be really good for a few days and then get a f*ck it attitude. I am also finding it MUCH easier to gain weight (even by just eating all weeklies) than it is to lose it Help! 0 -

I'm at it a year, and have had loads of weeks like that, but overall am still down almost three stone, so keep going, the evidence shows that if it takes you longer to lose it, you're more likely to keep it off. Think of it as your life changing forever and not just a few months dieting. When i was attending meetings we had this really inspirational talk from somebody who had over six stone to lose and was halfway through her weight loss and said how she had realised that it wasn't a race but her whole life changing forever!0 -

Hey Monife, loosing 43lb is such a good achievement, from reading online i have seen many people talking about hitting a brick wall after been on the plan a while, you might just need to re-tweak your foods, maybe start been as strict as you were in the beginning i notice after just six weeks i feel i know the points of my regular things so don't weigh them, i might have to kop on and realize eating my old way gets me no where so sticking to the plan is the only way to shift the weight. also try just using half the weeklies. what ever you do stick with it!! x0 -

Best of luck to everyone this week with there wi.:D
Exactly what I do.. imagine that a six weeks ago i was carrying around 12lb of butter with me every where i went.. i love pro points 0 -

You have to keep it going, 43 lbs lost is huge , you are 1/3 of the way there. Where are you at exercise wise, I took my foot of the pedal last week and gained a half pound , my diet was quiet good bar a thai red curry but other than that it was the lack of exercise that pushed me up. I pushed myself hard this week exercise wise and lost 3 lbs.0 -

Can I ask if you weigh your portions? I think it can be really easy to overestimate portion size and therefore underestimate points. Over the course of a week this can really add up. Also things like milk- an uncounted splash here a drop there- can also quickly add up.
Sometimes I think we have to go back to the basics of the plan - weifh and track every morsel. Maybe have a look at an earlier week where you had a good loss and look at what you ate, what you were doing that worked that week.
Well done in your loss so far!!!!0
