I am really making a concious effort to get active this time around... my aul peg leg is really starting to build up which is great considering this time last year i couldn't walk on it at all.(last valentines day I was still on the crutches and almost killed myself walking around the corner from the house to Lidl... I will never forget it as long as I live!) .. I started slowly with the walking and the step aerobics but like you say you kinda need an aul push to get those few lbs down... Hoping for some kind of movement on the scales tomorrow... Had a sneaky look at the scales this morning and it looks like I am the same... but what can ya do... I know I am making changes for the better...
Ouch! fair play getting back on your feet! when wi sts could stay or be down so dont count them eggs yetthe west wing wrote: »Down 4 1/2 lbs today! Absolutely delighted! Makes up for putting on a pound last week.[/QUOTE

Oh my goodness WW! Sure that's only fab! Congratulations! 0 -
Right - Lets give this another go then. Gonna do my weigh ins at home on a Monday morning and follow the programme myself with the OH keeping tabs on me. Starting weight - 11st 10 and 3/4 pounds.
I'm glad you have decided to give it another go I really hope it works out for you.
I have my WI tomorrow but not really sure what to expect. I have stopped myself from stepping on the scales during the week. I feel good but I didn't do as much exercise as I should have :mad:
Well done west wing on such a great loss 0 -

hi girls... hope you are having a nice night...
can anyone tell me, and im sure I have asked this before, but how many of your weeklies do you all usually use...
I have used 12 weeklies, but aside from that I have stayed within my dailies all week.... even made a point of using each spare pp.
I use 95% if not all of my weeklies every week. I find it hard not to. I like a few drinks at home with the OH on the weekend and a packet or 2 of snack-a-jacks so that uses up a fair few. I tried to only use half last weekend but because we were celebrating Valentines on Saturday, I ended up using all of them.

Ugh, feeling really crap. Have a throat infection and blocked sinuses and my plan was to walk on Saturday (which I did) and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (WI on Thursday) but since yesterday, have been feeling so miserable that I haven't done a tap and won't feel like it tomorrow either. I went over my PP by 10PP yesterday because I was just picking at mccambridge bread and real butter etc and I stepped on my scales this evening (I know I shouldn't but i'm a scales addict) and it says I am up 1lb. I don't understand at all. 10PP is about 400 calories. You have to consume an extra 3,500 calories in a week to gain a pound... so annoyed. It is so easy for me to put on weight, but super super hard to lose it and I just don't understand!!

I fill up on fruit and veggies all the time... bring my lunch/breakfast with me to work so i have the likes of cracottes with low low cheese or cereal for breakfast with 2 mandarins, grapes, apple etc... then for lunch i have like a wrap (I use the tesco light choices ones for 4pp each) with ham and low low cheese (can you sense a theme here? :P ) with a yogurt or fruit (today i had mandarins, grapes and carrot sticks to pick at) that leaves me with well over 14/15pp for my dinner... i usually fill up on veggies alongside chicken/beef or fish...
tonight I had 14pp left so i had a portion of WW chips (5pp) and one of the lightly dusted fish fillets that were recommended i think by tiny penguin... they are 4pp... and i had loadsa veggies so i still have 5pp left... going to have one of the ww eclairs in a bit... might even have two....
just try to mix up my veggies a bit that way i don't just get mushy veg every day... it would drive me bananas... ha!
i tend to use my weeklies on a wednesday night with a take away or something really naughty then be good for the rest of the week....0 -

Monife, I'm the very same as u!! If I go over my points at all that's it I'm up!! My friend could eat a whole pizza and not gain a pound!! If I look àt the pizza poof I'm up 4lb!!
Try to just put it passed u! I'm an awful picker (ESP between 5 & 6) so I have bought chubba Chubb lollies and I'm making it last me an hour!! It's kept me away from the cheese for the last few days!! (which isn't easy)
Now come on build a bridge over yesterday and today and start again tomorrow! U know u can do it!!! 0 -

I feel for you, if you feel half as bad as I did with blocked sinus! I thought migraine pain was bad! your better off taking a small break from exercise if your not feeling well, I did last week as well. you know there is a difference of about a pound or two through out the day you normally weigh more at night than in the morning, I say it will be gone by Thursday WI, just rest and eat well for the rest of the week! I know for a fact if I stepped on the scales it show me up now! its a pain how easy it can go on and takes an age to come back off. don't beat your self up about it now esp when your not feeling so well.
Mine goes on in a flash! yet I'm still here trying to get back to were I was before Christmas! crawls off at snails pace! just as long as it keeps that up and I will be happy!0 -

Where do you get the WW chips? I have never seen them. And how many grams do you get for 5PP because there are some "normal" oven chips (I think one of the green isle ones, correct me if I am wrong) are 5PP for 150g.0 -

Ah don't fret Lisa, it's only one week and there are many weeks to go ie. a lifetime So don't worry about it. As this is a life change and not a diet, there will of course be weeks where we are up and sts, sure if we just kept losing for the rest of our lives there'd be nothing left of us 
There'll even be weeks where we should definitely have lost but our bodies are not having it, and that's just the way it is, but those weeks will be few and far between hopefully. Sure I had a personal pizza from pizza hut and some nachos last nght, I think I'm over my weeklies by about 10 pp, but couldn't be sure. But if I'm up or sts this week I won't mind, because I'm never going to be perfect every week, you have to splash out and celebrate sometimes, but once you get back on track afterwards you'll be fine in the long run.
Don't beat yourself up hun x0 -

do you notice that when you get to a new stone bracket its like a tug of war for a week to two before the body sorts it self and stays in the new stone bracket! Im hoping this week I finally get back in to the 11 and stay there then onwards to the tens!
you will be back in the 11 bracket before you know it! 0 -
