I was down 1lb today... which is great cause we were away for the weekend and ate everything.. but I'm still 2lb heavier than i was two weeks ago..

Just had a Demi Baguette 8pp, Ham 1pp Sweet chilli 1pp Lettuce,& tomatoes and a packet of snax for lunch so that was great for 12pp

Have 14pp left for dinner and it just struck me i never took the mince out of the freezer.. so choices will be well limited!

Fantastic Lisa! Well done!! :-)

Up a pound and a half. Was a bit disappointed as I stayed within my points religiously this week.:(

Youve been doing fantasticly WW! Don't let one week get you down. It'll all show on the scales eventually x

So proud of myself - my 2nd week walking instead of driving to the dart station. I was convinced when I started I would break if it was raining, but I've started to look forward to the walk in the morning so much I was happy to head out in the rain. Sitting a little damper in work for it but still feeling good.

I find the walk in the morning sets me up for the day, and in the evening it builds up my apetite for dinner.

Yeah it is quite high but I look at it like that too. I sometimes have it with a bowl of 0/1 pp soup to help fill me up a bit, I think soup tastes the best with brown soda bread anyway!

The dunnes stores own wheaten square brown bread is only 4 for 2 have checked and double checked!!

have my WI tomorrow morning and so annoyed with myself, was so good tracked everything exercised every night, until last night

got my totm yesterday so had a fine day food wise made sausage pasta bake and with that my points for the day were perfect. BUT THEN ate 4 rivita crackerbread with butter, 2 bags of velvet crunch and half an easter egg (mini), oh the shame :mad: Now still haven't gone over my weeklys but i was just so annoyed i had been so good. hope it doesn't have to major of effect on my wi tomorrow. Draw a line and start again

ali85 · 18-04-2012 09:57AM

morning folks.

was great seeing how well ya all did at WIs so far... WELL DONE ALL!!!

im proper dreading tonight. i really have been trying, especially after missing last week, but my scales has me the same as 2 weeks ago. not a happy camper but sure we will see tonight.

I have been using I Watcher app for my tracking which is great but i find it a little bit odd when it comes to weeklies. i think i might use the paper tracker for my weeklies for next week.

i have gained 32 activity points and only used 15 weeklies... think i may have messed up somewhere here... oh well with 7 hours til WI there is not much i can do about it now...

keep up the good work folks!!!

Hey everyone.
I got weighed this evening-up 1lb. I wasn't surprised 'cos I'd weighed myself this morning and thought I'd be up, but I'd had a really good week and tracked everything.
Just gonna keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully see a result next week.
The leader said a good week won't pass me by, so fingers crossed!

Sometimes it takes a week for the work to show, so don't loose faith. Remember slow and steady wins the race

My guy leader said that women for some reason really beat themselves up over one week. He said that guys for some reason look at it on the whole but that women would nearly be crying if they're up one week. One week doesn't matter & it'll happen for sure. Just try to remember that on the scales this evening. Good luck hun!

Think i may have pointed quorn mince wrong. I pointed 100g at 3points according to the packet but that didn't say from frozen. 100g would probably be double that wouldn't it?

Taz it's like you read my mind! This has been bugging me the last couple of days. I think I've been pointing it wrong too. Like the bag of Quorn Mince at 300g couldn't be 9pp for the lot?? So if you weigh out 100g of frozen quorn mince what is the weight of it when it's defrosted? Does anyone know as I chuck it straight in when I'm cooking and don't have the patience to wait for it to be defrosted, do be starvin like

So I was feeling a bit down yesterday as I was up half a lb. I decided to look at photos of me at Christmas to see if there was any difference in how I looked after losing 2 stone since January. Now I don't see a huge difference but I do see some change. I guess because I'm so heavy it will take a while for me to see a major difference in body shape. Thought I'd share them with you, so at least you can visualise what I look like. It's mad that we are all talking to each other as if we know each other!

I know I have 9 stone to go until I reach my goal but at least I am getting there slowly. I've signed up for the Skinny Doll's summer challenge and the goal is to lose 12lbs by my birthday in the first week of June.

Oh my goodness! There is SO much change to be seen! You're face is much more defined! I feel the same I started at 16stone in Jan and i'm 14 stone now, people are always saying oh my good the difference in your face, and secretly i'm thinking 'ehh it's not my face that i'm worried about loosing weight from'!

Well done West Wing!!!

You're looking great west wing!! can really notic the difference! we seem to be on the same track. started at the same time, have almost the same goal and have lost nearly the same amount!

everyone is telling me how different i look but i didn't notice it myself until i went out this weekend and i got the dreaded facebook notification on monday telling me someone had tagged me in a photo but to my surprise i didn't recoil in horror when i saw it! i had finally noticed it! such a good motivation!!

and we also have the same hoodie! ha

The difference is amazing! I know when I started I had 9st to lose and it seemed impossible so I took it one stone at a time. I rarely could see the difference but the compliments were coming thick and fast so I had to have been changing! I found the problem was that in my head I was still the fat chick and it took me quite some time to see what everyone else could plainly see. Stick with your journey and believe me it is a journey it will all be worth it in the end! Best of Luck. F.

I have to echo the sentiments of others and say there is def a huge difference. Sometimes its harder to see on ourselves but you are doing so well. Your face is so much more defined. And you do seem to hold youself in a more confident way in the recent photos - which is another great benefit of losing the weight. Well done hun

that's a very good tip! sometimes i think the rest of the road ahead is impossibly long but if i just go stone by stone it seems alot easier (even if I do have to do it another 8/9 times)

There's a huge difference. as everyone else has said, it's often much easier to see the difference in someone else than in yourself. You're doing great though, so keep up the good work!!!

ck83 · 18-04-2012 01:49PM

Firstly... well done to everyone on this weeks losses!

I had my WI this morning. Another 3 lb down. I'm delighted with myself, esp after last weeks gain. I was really careful with my tracking this week. I was just a small bit cross with myself for using ALL of my weeklies, without really having a special occasion, night out etc, but that's not the end of the world. I suppose it just goes to show, that the weekly points are not something to be afraid of, they're to be used and enjoyed!!! I was also VERY cross with myself for being very lazy about exercising this week. I only earned about 14 activity points... that's far less than usual, so that's what I've identified as needing to work on this week. I might even hit the gym at some stage... the months of my membership are sliding by, and I haven't really gotten that much use out of it.

Now... to talk mini goals. Well, I just ticked a big one off the list today.... back in the 14's. don't know when i last saw that on a scales. woo hoo... I've half a pound to lose to be half way along my ww journey- I'd like to tick that one off next week. Then, i'd like to get my 3rd stone by the wednesday after the bank hol... that's three weigh ins, 4.5lb. heres to another good week everyone!

Well done west wing, honestly you can really see the difference! Keep going! You couldn't have 9st to go though???!!! Wow! This I find confusing!!! What weight do you want to get to? Either way you are doing brilliantly!:-)

My starting weight was 20stone 9lbs. Ideally I would like to get to 9 stone 2lbs. The thinnest I've ever been is 10st and though I was very happy with that I would have been a size 12-14. I would rather fall into the 10-12 size.

Wow you don't look 18st odd in the pics!! In my experience I would not focus on a final number yet. I wanted to get to 10st but now I realise I probably won't get there as it's not my body. Everyone keeps saying I look great as I am now but I'd still love to lose another stone to get into the 10's.

Well done on all the losses so far this week!

I lost 2.5lbs today

That's most of the 3 I gained last week which I never thought I could do so happy days!!

lurker here and occasional contributor- although not in a while

I am a serial ww r, lost 5.5 stones over the last 9 yrs with it. Have put about 1.5 st back on and want to get back to where I was. Tough times as my brother is very sick at moment and I am up in hospital most nights with him, exercise is gone out the window for the moment, Cycling to work tho.

weighted in today and lost 1lb this week, 1.5 lb last week so feel like might be ghetting my mojo back. I am a bridesmaid in 10 months so that is helping me focus.

Joined the skinny doll challenge today too.

Anyhow just wanted to say tks for all the support and tips on here , can't beat girl support:)

promise to post more often
xx

Just want to thank everyone for the kind words. After I read all your comments, I rooted out the jumper I was wearing in the heaviest photo and I'm glad to report that it is swimming on me! It is the first time in a long time that I have a jumper that is really baggy on me!

U look great in the pics!! Seeing the difference is a real motivator x

charlietheminxx · 18-04-2012 06:05PM

Had my weigh in this evening and was down three! Got my first silver 7 (well, from this time round) too!

Feeling since happy right now! I started to get back into some of my jeans at the weekend too, and though they're tight I couldn't even close them a month ago

Yahoo..well done for you!! I was so excited to get my first silver 7. Keep up the good work!!

I haven't been on for a while and I'm here because I am kind of losing motivation. I have lost stone and 11.5 lbs since Jan but I still have over 5 stone to go. I am feeling a lot better and in a smaller jeans size but I am starting to slip up at the weekends. I think I am getting sick of the same food or I have lost that feeling of a new project, I had when I started. Any tips to get back on track would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
