@ Shanna, No problem mrs that's what we're here for! Delighted to hear you're going to go to WI and that you feel like you're getting back on track that's the best way draw a line under it and start a fresh the next day - don't wait until the week is up.
You're not letting anyone down WW wise either, it's natural for the Weightloss to slow down the further we get into this, don't put so much pressure on yourself for 'big' numbers either. And you know something maybe your little blowout will do you the power of good long term as in you needed to break free of the constraints of pointing etc and especially if you felt like you weren't doing WW for yourself. That's the only person who this should matter to.....yourself, if you're heart isn't in it or your head isn't in the game it makes it so much harder and that's why you got bogged down by guilt. I'm hoping that the blowout made you see that actually you do want this and that it was more a case of rebelling against whatever. Onwards and downwards now!
I dunno it's weird how so many of us have had some kind of foody/ goody melt down this week. I'm putting it down to this horrible cold weather (i'm always a starvin marvin when it's cold) and of course for me and so many others on here as well TOTM. I'm not usually a fiend for chocolate but this week forget about it it's pretty bad but yet i'm still within my points. I did get out for a run tonight and felt the better for it.
Maggie meant to comment last night and say thank you! Believe it or not I actually did track as I drank
I'm using iwatcher on my iphone and it's second nature for me to now log everything I eat and drink even when I'm out (i find it more important when I'm out cos it's too easy to 'forget' that last glass of wine or that second Whiskey and diet coke!) It just looks like i'm texting and I feel better for having tracked and it means I'm not stressing about it and can relax with my friends and actually enjoy myself!
Baby thanks a mil for posting about that BASA my god I felt sick reading that, i'm really fussy about my fish so unless i ' know it' I probably wouldn't pick it up but if they're marketing it as a Cod or Haddock alternative i easily could have picked it up unawares so thank you for highlighting it. Needless to say I'll be staying well clear of it.
At least tomorrow is hump day - half way through my points week, I dunno how i'll do at my WI on Saturday I'm not going to stress about it whatever it is it is and I'll have to move on from it either way and get back in the zone. I'm going to have a quiet weekend and think I'll empty the food presses and sort the freezer etc to see what I actually have and then do a few new recipes to keep me focused and eating a variety of different foods - it's so easy to get stuck in a rut eating the same things all the time!0 -
Had my WI and down 1.5
Am delighted! Was so very happy to see that on the scales. Have had a total attitude adjustment since last week (when i was disappointed with the same number). I managed to lose 1.5, go out for 2 course dinner twice and have a girly night one night. Bring on the next week
Good Luck with everyones WI and well done on the losses so far!0 -

Morning ladies (and gents)
I have a very early start this morning. (most of you will notice this from the fact that my first post of the day is usually @ about 10! ) So, since today is WI I am EXTRA prepared for today.
Have a meeting at 9, so instead of diving into the scones and danishes I have a fruit salad all chopped up that I can pick at. I have my lunch made too, so no excuses to hit Spar or Centra for a roll/sambo...
Did my 50 min walk yesterday and did 30 mins on Wii fit last night (my arms are killing me this morning :P ) Have just looked at my activity points log and weeklies chart. I have used 13 weeklies and earned 19 activity points... so I suppose they even out and im still in the plus... Really hope so.
So motivated by all the great WI's yesterday and over the last few days.... hopefully I will end up losing something tonight.... fingers crossed...
Good luck to anyone having their WI this morning!!!0 -

Yoi're some woman heading out in the freezing cold! I couldn't make myself do it last night! Then thought I'll do my Davina video, but after dinner we just curled up on the couch and watched a new show Suits. Very bad I know, but on the upside, great show! Really need to motivate myself on the exercise front, help! 0 -

Thanks Bailey Pants! It's definitely the Ozzie version read thru some material so it s all new but its a challenge and a step in the right direction hoping and I can survive the first week being so reliant on the books for pp not longer no them off!

Ha I just decided that seen as I hadn't done too much and i have a feeling TOTM is fairly imminent that I should take the bull by the horns and get moving. I am going to try and get into work earlier more often so I can get home and get a decent walk in the park before i settle in and get to comfy, well settle into homework and dinners ha! I'm on flexi time here so its really my own fault that I have to work late...too many late mornings... so maybe February is going to be a good month for me!
I don't watch that thing Suits, it looks good though, but I have been watching Alcatraz online and then of course there was Shameless and Republic of Telly lastnight... got the lunches done in the breaks hahaha! 0 -

Shindy don't be too disheartened. At least it's in the right direction It could also be because of your cold so keep doing what you're doing.
Taz it probably is because of TOTM. I normally either sts or put up during my TOTM. At least you didn't gain and your good work will probably be reflected on the scales next week 0 -

It's almost as annoying as putting on pounds, but I do know what ya mean!
Hopefully! 0 -
You all have great attitudes ladies...
Eabhabear... you could have very easily thrown in the towel and not bothered going to WI (I know I did that many a time when I knew I was going to be up) But it shows you how motivated you are to keep going. 2lbs isn't too bad either... you are so right... everyone has a bad week every now and again the main thing is drawing a line under and starting again... im definitely due a dodgy week...
Jeepers I don't know how I even considered WW before without using this thread. Its great. I find it even more motivating than the classes. It's no wonder i fell off the wagon so many times before!
You lot are really inspirational! 0 -

Went to Basketball last night... and had a great time... It was only an hour long and i did more running than i have done all year lol... just to get out and moving was great!! Really enjoyed it and slept like a log afterwards! Feel amazing today can not wait to again on Friday. This is just what i needed. 0

Up 2lbs this morning :mad: Anyway drawing a line under it and moving on. Good luck to everyone else WI today.
Could be any numbedr of things that lead to that, so you're dead right to keep on going regardless! Hopefully it will catch up with you next weekDown 0.5lb - bit annoyed. Thought i'd get the 1lb but sure at least it was something! 4 weeks at it now though and have only lost 3.5lb - wee bit discouraging but hopefully february will be a better month!
Just in from the gym now, instructor who was to do my measurements never showed up :mad: Annoying! Did my workout anyway though - this weeks meeting was all about moving more so gonna try my best. Still dosed up with sinuses and cough so energy a bit on the low side but hopefully as the week goes on I'll improve!
-0.5lb is the minimum I need to get my first silver seven, so I'll take that Shindy You sound like you're doing great in the gym etc, so keep it up, it will show eventually and you can't buy good health! Damn, I've stayed the same! How is that possible!?! I wonder if it could be to do with TTOTM?
Sure we know there are sooo many factors that can lead to a STS, try not to worry too much about it. You know what you're doing is great for your health firstly and the weight loss will follow. Hopefully it'll catch up with you next week 0
