Water is always a good idea!

I'm hoping to be down at least 1lb tomorrow. We'll see. I haven't got as much exercise as usual this week.

Thank you.... I am delighted! Have been very good all week and am now spurred on to keep it up.. I want to be a few pounds under so I don't go off the rails for Xmas.. It just goes to show how many times I was kidding myself that I'd allocated enough points to cover my sweet treats... One week completely sweet free, and I'm down 2.5 pounds!!! Can't wait to go home now and tackle a few recipes.. I've a butternut squash that I want to turn into soup today.. Just need to find the recipe..

Huge congratulations, was also wondering how you got on, knew you could do it, great work! You should be so proud of yourself

Not had the best week so far but not losing faith, had a little walk today and have a yummy WW curry on for dinner

You will, sometimes I felt I'd never get there but not once did I think I can't do this, I knew I could, it was just a matter of talking to myself.. I feel great, I love that I've put on clothes I haven't worn for years.... And they look well!!! Nothing beats that, not even a quick fix of chocolate or sweets of whatever it is standing between you and your goal.. As our leader says Nothing tastes as good as looking good feels!!! And she's right of course...
This is the first Christmas in years I've not dreaded buying something to wear!! I don't intend to let it be the last...
Just take it day by day, check your inches, draw a graph, nothing motivates like the sight of a graph line heading downwards...

purdy nolan · 15-11-2011 10:20PM

thanks just the talk i needed..

Madigap · 15-11-2011 11:29PM

Hey guys! Looking for some advice please...I want to join ww again, have been doing pro points on and off since the summer and I'd like to go to a new class. I've been going to the same leader on and off for a few years and while I really like the leader I think it's time to shake thing up and start afresh! Has anyone any recommendations of classes and more importantly leaders in the Dublin area? I live in Dublin 3/5 and work in Dublin 4 so pass through the city centre most days and I'd love a morning class....sorry for the long post/rant but any and all advice and motivation is greatly appreciated!!

So,

It's been a good while since I posted here, ...

I had gotten from 17st3 to 13st10.75 in 36 weeks, but in the last 5-6 weeks I went up to 13st 13.75 and am only slowly working my way back down(STS or .5lb a week). Technically, in the last 10 weeks I've only lost 6lbs.

Im hoping to get to 12st - 12st6 but loosing is getting more difficult. I stick to my points religiously, I walk a few miles 5 out of 7 days, go for the odd run/cycle.

Any tips?

I've cut out bread(apart from the odd slice of soda bread), I drink 2-3ltr water daily, eat lots of fruit and veg, have properly weighted portions, no chocolate at all(off it now for +2yrs as a bet), I add no extra salt to my food, I eat no sweets/crips. My daily treat would be merengue and a low fat custard dessert(totalling 4PP). I dont drink (alcohol - as if that needs to be specified, in ireland 'you drink' or 'you dont drink' but everybody knows its about alcohol), I dont do soft drinks either, ...

F&ck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

Down to 13st8 this morning!!!! finally! :cool: 3.75 down on last week!

Thnaks for all the tips lat week guys

Well done, thats Brill:D Can you let me know what you did different. My eating etc. seems very similar to yours and I have been messing around with 5lbs for the last 8 weeks - up one, down one etc.

Thanks

OBHOB · 16-11-2011 09:41AM

Hi guys,
Was down 2 pounds last night so am now only 2.5 pounds away from goal weight!! What happens when you get to your goal weight, do you have to be able to maintain it for a few weeks before you get your gold card or how does it work?
Keep up the good losses everyone!

I up'd my water intake again, from 1.5 ltr to +3ltr
I used to eat a salad with chicken, prawns, salmon, ham, .... every lunch
Now I do 1-2 lunches a week different, eg, I had a dinner yesterday at lunch.

kyetreeohna · 16-11-2011 10:24AM

Yay! down 1.5 pounds last night. 1 pound to go to my goal but really want to lose another 5 pounds after that so I can enjoy Christmas :-)
Reached my goal at the end of August and then went up 6.5 pounds after a month of careless eating and holidays. It has taken me 2 months to lose that, been yo-yoing up and down.It was disheartening at first but going to make sure it is another loss next week.

Great weather for walking at the moment so really enjoy it which helps. Plus gonna have my meals planned in advance, easier that way. Fingers crossed I keep going onwards and downwards :-)

Well done! Not long to go now.
You get your gold card 3 weeks after you reach your goal weight, provided you stay within 5 pounds of your goal weight during this time. Best of luck!

Hey I haven't posted in a while, but have been reading the thread every other day. Congratulations to all those who have lost and to those who haven't good luck for this week.

I myself got back on the horse last week after losing a pound, and lost 3.5 pounds this week, was delighted and it made me more determined to shift at least 6 pounds by now and Christmas. I am just a pound off my 1.5 stone mark, and have gone from being in the 12's to being in the 10's... its a great feeling, and I am hoping to be down 2 stone by xmas. However, I still cant really see it in my clothes! Yes I am down a trouser/jeans size, but on top I am still the same... which is annoying..

I think this week what helped me was tracking everything, and I used 21 of my weeklies. I didnt exercise as I was too busy, but I will this week.

lisa_celtic · 16-11-2011 11:04AM

Wow great results here this week!!

Congrats to every one who got to goal or are very close to it!!

As of today I am officially 20lb down and how to i react to that?? I had half a scone with full fat butter!

I'm never going to get to goal with this attitude I have 1st 6lb off and 1st 7lb to go just about half way there!! Need to cop on and be good.. last Friday i had an ice burger (5) 1/2 a pack of taytos (2) in a sandwich (2) and a half a buano (3) then Sat Eddie Rockets (15) and 1/2 an ice cream and muffin (7) a few weeks back i wouldn't of touched this stuff need to lose my cockeyness at ahhh i can have this or that cos i have the points... am going to up my protein portions so i dont have as many points for treats!

Das Kitty · 16-11-2011 11:15AM

I'm really trying to get into the mindset that food is just fuel for my body. It can be tasty but at the end of the day it's fueling my body to do the things I need it to do.

I'm really stepping away from the old mindset I had of food being a treat or a comfort. It's not really comforting to feel like crap and not fit into your trousers. This is a big change for my head and I could easily slip back into old habits, but hopefully this is a lifelong change for me.

Danii86 · 16-11-2011 11:30AM

WI this morn..up 1.5, lil bit suprised because I started walking again last week, and evn though I had a bit of a bad weekend I had only used 2 of my weeklies by saturday. My mum who's doing it with me was down 2 and we both had the same splurge at the weekend and walked the same over the week!!!

clareames · 16-11-2011 05:11PM

If it starts at 12.30, weigh in is usually first for half a hour and then half a hour talk (at 1 for your class so). the leader can weigh you after the talk too though. thats the way it works in mine any way
