i went out last night for my birthday. i'd say i drank enough to go over my weeklies twice over and had a big lump of birthday cake before heading out and today i just stayed in bed and only got up to eat and order a chinese. not feeling confident for wednesday but i don't even regret it 'cos i had such a brilliant night. this will just be a little set back but it was totally worth it. everyone needs to let loose every now and again. can't be too strict on ourselves or the weight loss won't last. that's what i keep telling myself anyway

Its so true! I've only got into that mindset recently when I realised I was obsessing a little too much! I'm not gonna let it stop me from enjoying social events and the like as much as I used to. You have to enjoy life - we've gotten this far, we'll get there, there's no point in rushing, as instantly as I'd like to see results! Hope you enjoyed your night!

Oh I have been well and truely struck off the weight watchers followers list! I'd say i'm gone about 30pp over this week!

Guaranteed + sign on the scales on Tuesday evening!

A new week a new me

Cant believe the weekend is over already. Wasnt planning on drinking but I went to the UCD Ball on friday night (just to see Mike Skinner DJ, not even a student anymore) and the mess of all the students there drove me to drink to be able to survive it, and then along came the burger and garlic cheese chips. I still had 14 dailies and all 49 weeklies so Im pretty sure I stayed within those, (5 pints and the food) and did a lot of dancing but I wrote them all off anyway. Have been pretty good the rest of the weekend. Hoping for a good loss on tuesday, just gotta stay good the next 2 days :-)

Made spicy fish cakes from a recipe in the complete kitchen and they were AMAZING. Only 4pp per fish cake and they are a good size too. I had 2 for my dinner with veg and I was pretty stuffed. Gonna post the recipe and pictures on my blog tomorrow night.

Best of luck with the coming week to everyone!

Hi everyone!
Was just catching up on all the posts from the past few weeks! Havent been on here in ages!!! Gave up ww about 6 weeks ago,my brother came home for xmas and ever since that I've had no motivation, was up 1lb/down 1lb for weeks solid so gave up!! I'm so mad with myself cos I'd done so well, joined in August last year for the first time and by xmas I had gone from 13 9 to 11 6,that was 2 stone 3 lbs off!! My target is 10 9, but in saying that I am 5 ft 11 so I'm gonna see how I get on as I loose it,dont want to be awful thin. So as and from Thursday morning I'm back on the scales with a bang!! Gonna give myself a head start by been good from now onwards! Lets hope I havent done too much damage!
Sorry bout the long rant but its great been able to get it off my mind to people that ae in the same boat!!
Well done to everyone on there losses!
Any tips/words of motivation to get me in gear again is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks ww buddies!!

I had lost any motivation I had for ww there a while ago, but the guys on this thread were so supportive that I ended up back on track.

I just started off with baby steps again, not trying to loose too much too fast. So just start again with a good sensible bfast, then plan & point whatever your having for lunch and have a nice basic dinner of meat or fish & veg, that'll get you started off on the right foot and make you realise that you don't need to complicate things so much. I think that was my problem. Best of luck getting back on track

Can't wait for WI tonight, was a really strange week, haven't a notion of how I'm going to do, just want to find out, get it out of the way and start afresh regardless! Best of luck to all.

Happy monday all! Had a bad nof ole weekend really,blew all my weeklies and then some I reckon, so just gona stick 2 the 26 4 the rest of the week and try earn as many activity points as possible, headin spinnin after work which wil eearn me 8 straight away!!!

well done! 2 stone...Im dreaming of the day I'll be typing that;)yeah the online ;)system tells you how many pp you're on at each stage but I was just getting a bit impatient and wanting to speed things up by reducing the pp further..you're right though-all the good advice always points to slow and steady. Have to keep remembering I didnt put it on over night so the same applies when losing:rolleyes:

Definitely stick to the points that have been assigned to you. For example, if you are on 33PP and you drop to 30PP (of your own personal choice), you may lose the weight faster (or you may not) but when you have reached the point where you are actually suppose to be consuming 30PP per day, your body won't re-adjust, and you will hit a plateau and it will be like you are almost maintaining because your body will be used to those PP. You will probably also find yourself very hungry down the line.

Slow and steady wins the race and keeps the weight off long term. It's taken me a long time to get my head around that, I have been doing WW since November 2010 (from my starting weight have over 8 stone to lose) and I have lost 3 stone so far. I had lost 3 stone 9lb by last July but then due to my wedding/honeymoon and a major fall off the wagon, by December I had gained 16lb of that back. But back on track now Even though I should be losing decent numbers (1.5lb or above is what I consider a decent number) because of the amount of weight I still have to lose (over 5 stone), I still only lose small amounts per week even when I am really good. But I have come to terms with that and at least it means it will stay off

I have to say I am finding daytime in work the hardest. I used to be so structured but I've starting getting a lot hungrier and leaving myself with 8-10 for the evening time. Which is doable, I can do a good dinner for those points, but it just means I have to be extra rigid in the evening and there is no room for error. Any ideas on how to get a handle on this?

Go back to basics, plan everything, look at your breakfast can you cut back points there? Add Fruit instead of 10g of cereal save a point? then look at your lunch can you cut down the sauce? swap the meat or breads etc for something lower? Back to basics tiny penguin, weigh and point everything and see where you can save yourself one or two points in the day for your evening meal Could you save 7 weeklies and use an extra one everyday and take them out of your weeklies.. loads of options for you to look at!

TOTM today and have the day off work so feeling like being bold. I'm not going to be bold though. Apart from a packet of Walkers Baked crisps (3pp and totally worth it) with my lunch to satisfy a salt craving, no more junk today.

I was craving something sweet so I mashed up a very ripe banana in a bowl with a sprinkling of cinnamon - a delicious 0pp sweet treat!

Hi guys,
havent been on here in a while i've been sooooo bad think while i've fallen off the wagon it's crushed me under the wheels then maybe reveresed back over me. I have totally lost my motivation and have just under 3 weeks to a family celebration and not even sure my outfit that was lovely when i got it will even fit.
What has anyone else done when this happened, i just cant seem to stop eating it's got so bad it's beyond counting

Oh MaggieMay, I completely understand you!
I have fallen off the wagon! I have weigh in tomorrow evening (missed last weeks as I couldn't afford it) and I know i'm going to be up!
But I think the support of my leader and the meeting tomorrow will help me get back on track!

I always always track though, even if I have gone WAAAY over both weeklies and dailies.

But to be very honest, I think I needed this week! I think everyone needs to rememeber that everyone has a few little slip ups. What would life be without mistakes!
Also a good thing to rememeber os, in comparison we're all doing very well.. It's a case of the good outweighing the bad these days!

Just start back on a fresh tracker and a clear mind, and a positive mind at that!

Good luck MaggieMay! We're all here to support eachother and it's surprising how many of are feeling the exact same way at any one time!:D
