Just back from WI....
I GOT IT!!!!
I finally got my stone... after playing with the last 3lb for 4 weeks then being half a pound off last week... i was down 2 this week... im down to 11st 5lb... that my 15.5lb altogether... soooo happy!!!
well done on all the losses.... they are brilliant...
Congratulations young lady!! Good on ya!:D 0 -
WI today went crap, woke up to totm so knew I would be up, had contemplated not going, but said no I'm going!I had been good food and exercise wise so was hoping for a STS or at worst 1/2 a pound gain. nope 1.1/2 :mad: I was upset over that, then my leader said well it prob fluid you are looking good BUT, I need to do better, track better and lose more weight as I'm not losing enough:( felt crap.
I lose it slow no matter what I do and I'm still Breastfeeding a baby and the guidelines say a loss of a pound a week is recommended as any more could effect amount and quality of milk, I lose 1. 1/2 to 1/2 a pound a week steadily I always know why I'm up Christmas being a biggy
but have that all gone now.
I mean I think I'm doing OK! I was very disheartened earlier, I will keep going it hasn't made me want to give up! I never even got a chance to question her as a big Que behind me and they could all hear what I was saying, she was running late on her talk as well.0 -

Down 4lb Delighted. Gained 3.5lb last week (too pis*ed off to post it though) when I should have only gained 1lb and was devastated. So guessing I technically lost 1.5lb
Delighted and super motivated for the week. On target of 1lb per week (5lb in the last 5 weeks), I lose it slow but have come to terms with it because 1lb a week is 4 stone in a year. 5 and a half stone left to go but i'm ok with that because I am making a life style change, it's not a quick fix!! 0 -

My leader gave me my goal weight of 10 stone at my very first wi, it was so daunting to hear. That was in May 2010 weighed in at 12st 7lbs, i'm 5ft 4. A few weeks into ww I actually said to the leader that i felt that giving someone their goal weight at their initial wi isn't the best idea as it may be off putting to some people. Almost afraid incase she would eat the head of me, she's a bit of a demon but felt i had to say as all i could think about was getting to 10 stone, I couldn't even enjoy the silver 7's when I got them.My fave pair of jeans fit me again! YAAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!
Nice one, good for you ShindyB.tiny_penguin wrote: »My leader and me haven't discussed my final goal yet. I prefer to break it down to more manageable chunks. So my first goal was 2 stone off by my brithday in July - am halfway there now :-)

It can be very upsetting when you gain more than you expected, but don't let it get you down, our bodies can play such tricks on us, god damn totm.Down 4lb Delighted.
Sweet Monife - well done.
I have been feeling so much better since Monday, i'm back weighing all my food and just love checking in on here, its fantastic for motivation.
Sorry everyone - didn't realise how long my post was until i posted it.0 -

im delighted for ya monife.... epecially after last week... to get rid of all of last weeks gain was brilliant!!! you must be hopping from one foot to the other...
and +1 on the lifestyle change ... literally only talkin about it earlier with my OH. I had a big dirty mcdonalds last night...26pp.... but I had saved 18 during the day so I only needed to use 8 of my weeklies... he couldn't believe that you can eat things like that and stay on track....
obviously its not something I should be doing all the time but the fact that you can eat rubbish like that and just be good for the rest of the week and work away... its all about making good choices0 -

Definitely. Like you could do a fad diet, lose 20lb in like 4 weeks, and then put it all back on because you have to have a life too and you have to enjoy yourself! That is why I could never do those primal/paleo diets that they rave about in this forum, I need my treats, they keep me sane. What is the point of life if you can't enjoy yourself and indulge once in a while, that's why I love WW. When I hit the next stone mark,which will be 4 stone lost in total (14.5lb to go because of what I gained), definitely going to treat myself to something really nice like a break away in Ireland or something and going to have a bit of what I want off the menu's Giving myself 14 weeks, so that would be the first week of June
Speaking of enjoying myself, had a lovely dinner tonight, 2 slices of superquinn brown bread (gave it 6PP, small enough, no butter) and 1/2 tin beans (4PP) and now having a packet of prawn cocktail snack-a-jacks and a glass of wine, all within my dailies 0 -

Whoo hoo Monife, I'm chuffed for you delighted you got a 4 pounds loss this week you deserve it so much!well done
I'm with you on losing it slow I am always so happy seeing any loss on the scales
I'm on track for the 1/2 pound a week = 2 stone in a year
losing it for good
evadiva yea dam totm, I just hope my body behaves and I see it gone next week and hope my body doesn't decide it wants to lose 1/2 a pound a week instead. LOL but you know I'm OK with the weight gain, regardless of how much time it takes I will see it gone, I'm more up set that my leader does not think a loss of 1 pound a week is good enough! I might ask her what she wants me to do, I'm planning on showing her my tracker as well so she can see I'm following the program and not cheating
She keeps forgetting I am feeding a baby as well :cool:
I don't know sometimes

Hey Guys,
wow lots of posts since yesterday - haven't had a chance to read up yet so will look forward to it in a little while
Just a quick question though - had a large fishcake at work today. It was carvery, breaded and deep fat fried and wonderfully delicious. But just trying to figure out propoints now and haven't a clue. It was about 2.5cm high and 12cm across. Any help and guesstimations would be greaatly appreciated. Thanks 0 -

The tiny birdseye ones are 5pp for 2 oven cooked fish cakes, A battered fish from the take away is 16 so I would guess 10 for your one but thats a total guess!0 -
Thanks JudyD!!! next is to rid myself of the next 3lbs for my 10%....
how are you getting on????
Hey Ali,
I was thrilled with -1lb this week and now just 1.5lbs to go to reach 10%
And then 3lbs to lose to get into 14's - woohoo!!!
Thanks a mil! Was getting more and more addled trying to guesstimate and hadn't a clue by the end of it! :rolleyes:lisa_celtic wrote: »The tiny birdseye ones are 5pp for 2 oven cooked fish cakes, A battered fish from the take away is 16 so I would guess 10 for your one but thats a total guess!WI today went crap...I mean I think I'm doing OK!

I'd be disheartened too if my leader gave me that sort of response. You need a bit of encouragement to stick at it not grief - especially if your doing your best! I'd say put it out of your head and concentrate on what you want to achieve and how good you'll look when you get there! :cool: And mightn't do any harm to try a different ww meeting in your area?? Good luck and stick at it!! 0 -
