I think it could go either way for me - weigh in tomorrow. I've been good mostly during the week but had some slips at the weekend. I seem to find if I go into the weeklies too much I end up putting on but if I stick to the daily allowance for the most part I lose so I think I'm going to have to up my activity a bit and try to stick to the daily points. Missed last week so extra nervous about tomorrow! Good luck to everyone this week whenever your next WI is.

Go Tiny! Fingers crossed worked for us so - I was down 3.5lbs. Did a complete double take - was sure I was STS and hoping for -0.5 if nothing else. So to celebrate I got a big dirty bag of chips and chocolate bar to put it back on again :rolleyes: Ah well - will be good for the next week to make up for it!
Good luck everyone else and stick at it! There's ups and downs but we'll get there 0 -

Don't worry Kelly - I was up .5 last week and was sickened cos like you I'd worked really hard and been really good and done everything by the book. But it showed on the scales this week so fingers crossed for you! Your body takes a while to adjust to big losses - look at it this way, on average you still lost 3lbs a week when the standard is .5-2lbs a week. Its a slow and steady race - no quick fixes I'm afraid but stick at it!!! 0 -

Try not to look at that as a 0.5 loss in one week - look at it as half a stone in 2 weeks which is AMAZING and you should be delighted with that. Sometimes when we have a big loss one week it takes our bodies a week to adjust to it.
I find it best to set the most realistic target for the week - aim for 1lb a week and anything extra is a bonus. I was disappointed my 2nd a third week but this is a long term thing, and the steadier the weight comes off the longer it will stay off Best of luck this week 0 -

Congratulations & Celebrations tra La La! That's amazeballs Tiny! Well done & well deserved x0 -
Well folks... WI tonight... Don't know whether I am looking forward to it or not...
I know I was really good food wise and have been exercising every evening for between 30 mins and an hour (sometimes a little more)... Ate more of my weeklies than I have EVER ate this week after STS last week so hopefully I have made a dent in those 3lbs between me and my first stone....
Well done on all the losses so far this week. They are great numbers. For the people who gained or are disappointed, keep your head up... its hard to stay motivated all the time. You can't expect to lose huge numbers every week... I did and I was brought back down to earth sharpish last week.... I'm looking at my weight loss as a whole.... in 6 weeks I have lost 11lb so really it's just under 2lb per week... not to be sniffed at! Don't get me wrong would love to see 5 or 6lb this evening... not bloody likely though! haha!
Pancakes last night... I had 2 really thin ones... one with sugar and lemon (naughty I know, but I pointed :P ) and the other with WW blackcurrant jam... soooooo nice.... I had saved some dailies for them specifically.... 0 -

Well done! Sometimes you have to treat yourself. And sure you said you had weeklies left so surely they could come out of that. Last week for valentines I had a taekaway (starter and main,not helathy choices) and a choc cupcake and i still managed to pull it back for the week!
Best of luck everyone who has their WI's to come and all the great losses so far:D0 -

My usual WI is tomorrow night, but I have a work thing on, so went to a meeting near work to get weighed today. Am delighted now with my 10 lbs off. I seem to keep saying this, but I'm definitely going to make new things, point everything & get off my butt more now this week, for fear of something catching up with me perhaps next week. Dear God, please help me actually follow through on this! :-)
Well done baileypants! Delighted for you....
I am determined to get through the rest of my old WW cookbook and start making some of the other recipes i have converted to PP. Some things look delish and like you say just to give a bit of change so as not to get bored.
You are doing sooooo well!!! 10lbs is brilliant.... 4 off the stone!!! 0 -

Well done Baileypants don't worry you will do it!
ali85 good luck tonight! mine tomorrow hope I see a loss, I dont care how much just down is all I want!
Non scale victory! by my new scales my fat% has come down by 3% I also tried on a nightdress I got before chirstmas it was tight on me, but tried it on Monday night and it was lose yay! So although I've managed to lose 6.05 pounds since 19 of January which I'm very happy with but compared to the 12 my friend is down and 11.5 my sister down I'm a good bit slower LOL but I have noticed it in other ways, inches I must be toning up so for any one not seeing big losses but exercising as well, don't lose heart it will show
Working out your Goal!
Are you all picking a weight you feel comfortable with, or one that's recommended for your height!
I was around 8 and a half stone before kids:cool: but checking out BMI and ideal weight for my height 4ft 10 they are saying (6,13 to 7,5 ) stone for my height! I just could not ever picture being that weight, I mean that to me would have me skin and bone! but if I aim for around 9, it puts me in the over weight on BMI chart I hate that bloody BMI chart0 -

I am the same as you... I'm 5ft3. At the moment (at 163.5lb) my BMI is 29.0. So I am in the overweight category. My goal weight is 133lb (I think thats 9st 7lb) which would leave me at a BMI of 23.6. Still on the higher side of "normal" but if I want to wait and see if i want to go any lower than that. Like you say... skin and bone... no women in my family are built to be size 6!!! I was so young having my dd (17) so I was still quite slim around the 10st mark. The weight soon piled on and by the time I was 20 I was almost 15st...
Those BMI charts are just nuts! Don't get me wrond I would love to be in the "normal" range but once I'm happier and healthier I really couldn't give a flying flahulac!!! 0 -
Your right I'm thinking it will be how I feel in clothes, more when I hit a certain size bracket again, 10 to 12I am the same as you... I'm 5ft3. At the moment (at 163.5lb) my BMI is 29.0.

I think a woman should have curves not be skin and bone, I think that weight would be very child like! so not me LOL0 -

Down 4lbs this week. To say I am delighted is an understatement. I gave it my all this week so I was expecting a loss, but was worried my valentines disaster might catch up with me. I have two meals this weekend so will have to be extra careful. Well done in the losses, keep it up
Well done:)RachaelFergie wrote: »Didn't go to wi cos I knew I'd be up!! Just wolfed(as If I had never eaten in my life) a packed of chic chip cookies, about 7 at 2pp each!! Have a meal out this weekend and feeling ever so sorry for myself just can't seem to stay on the feckin horse(the ww one I mean)!!
I have a wedding in Portugal in 14 weeks and need to loose a stone at least! Please if anyone has any help or advice ESP bout controling cravings I would really appreciate
My advice, is dont buy them! not great I know
but that's how I manage, mind you I love the ww eclairs I leave them in the freezer and take out one when I fancy one, I let it defrost a little but enough that you have to eat it slow by then I'm satisfied! works well with other treats like curly wurly at least if you went mad and ate two its 6 rather than 14 put them in the ice box as well eat slower then the craving just leaves you, also I find chopped banana with a ww yogurt over it works a treat and fills me up, grapes as well, go for them first, see if that fixes the snack attack.
at the end of the day, its how much you want it! have you an out fit for that wedding yet! may be put a picture on your fridge/press reminding you what you want to achieve! aim for that!
Good luck0 -
