Tg doh is off to Colorado till fri I'm doing little projects this week and can focus on my eating and running again

awesome job hellbaby!

 

[Try Rocking]

Great job Hellbaby!

I hope your little one is ok DMG!


So I'm a bit frustrated, I follow the plan, exercise.. and I lost weight and then I gained some. (1.2 lbs from my lowest this week) The only thing I can figure is that it's muscle due to jogging/exercising. I was so close to hitting my 70 lb loss and now I'm a little bit further away. I'm still hoping to hit it soon though. Maybe next Sunday!

My total now is 67.2 lbs lost. I'm still happy about it, I just wish it were more!

 

[Vickie]

well done Hellbaby!

DMG hope your LO is okay

Rach if it is muscle gain it's better in the long run as it will help you to lose weight more quickly. Still frustrating though I know

 

[Try Rocking]

Yah it was frustrating, I went down and then I snuck back up. So annoying! I am happy for more muscle though!

DMG hope your LO is OK.

Tryrocking - You have done fantastic loosing all that, I hope I can say the same in the long run

Well its my WI tonight, so fingers crossed I've lost again. We did have a take away last night... but... I'd only had 14 points by 7.30pm so I did have enough to use for it.

Great loss Hellbaby

Try rocking - it must be muscle keep going you've done excellent

Afm - lost 3lbs this week. Really pleased. As the weather is gorgeous went for a hill walk in my lunch break today too

 

[CarlyP]

Well done Jelly!

I lost 1lb! Im pleased as i really thought id blown it with my takeaway last night.

 

[Try Rocking]

Great losses Jelly and Carly!!

I hate when I eat something and I have no idea how many points it is. It really throws my day off. Today we had a potluck lunch at my hubby's cousins house. I brought spanakopita and some strawberry muffins and she made potato salad and hot dogs.
I really didn't want a hotdog but I had one and then I had some of her potato salad (a lot less than I could have eaten though ) and I have no idea on the points. I know the hot dog could be easy to figure out but the dressing she used in her potato salad was very different (she does eat healthier *despite the hot dogs* so I know it wasn't super fattening) so yah. I'm planning on a light dinner to hopefully even it out but I hate when I get thrown off like that.

Try Rocking- I could have written your post as I've been griping to my husband about not knowing what points some foods are. It makes me feel like I have to limit what I eat because I don't know the points and I'd rather learn how to eat what I eat but in moderation. I think I need to invest in a scale for my food and that might help a little.
I hope this feeling will pass and I'll just get into the swing of it. It wasn't this stressful the last time I started, but that might be because I never really got into the process.
Sorry for the rant!

 

[Guppy051708]

Congrats on those who lost weight! there is something freeing and inspiring about that!

TR- muscle is good. you are doing awesome.

not knowing points really is tough. I hate it when i eat something thinking it wont be too many points and then, all of a sudden, there goes all of my DPs

 

[Try Rocking]

Heather are you doing it online? I find most things are online and I can also just add the stuff up there if I have the nutritional info.

I found the food scale to be an awesome and much needed addition to my kitchen once I started WW again. It has been awesome, otherwise I would have been guessing on stuff (and been way off). I love how accurately I can put things in.

You'll get the hang of it though, keep strong!

Can I join? I just signed up to WW online at the weekend....this is day 2 on the plan.

A little bit about me....I'm 31 and have one DD who is 10 months. Since my pregnancy I haven't really made any effort to loose the extra weight and I just feel a bit wobbly. Currently I am 76 kg (167lbs) and 5ft7. I'm hoping to loose about 10-15kg.

So far its been pretty easy. I get 26points a day and 49 extra points for the week.

Have you ladies got any good tips or experience that can help in the early days?

Welcome

As far as tips....try to check off the fruit/veg category daily. Drink 8 glass of water, and try to meet your daily points as best as possible. It's okay to go into your weekly points, but dont make habit...but dont feel bad when you do bc life happens! Expect your weight to fluctuate a little. It may go down and then up, but the key is to look at the general idea. If it's going down, for the most part-thats what counts...more importantly, its a lifestyle change. Good luck!

 

[Heather M]

Try Rocking- Yes I'm online doing it so I've been using their tools which does help. I find that I have to search online for comparables occasionally to have something to input that is similar though. Really, I just need to relax with it, we're going to pick up a food scale today so that hopefully will work!

 

[Guppy051708]

i think a food scale is a fab idea

 

[CarlyP]

Welcome Ew x

I'm on week 3 and have lost 6lb so far. I really enjoy it, my tip is to track everything and plan your meals the night before. Don't do the whole week as your more likely to go off course. Good luck x

 

[Ew68j5]

Thanks ladies...I'm feeling really positive about it so far! I know it's only been two days but I genuinely haven't felt I've deprived myself, just thinking a bit more about what goes in my mouth. I did so much mindless munching before! My strategy at the moment is to stick to daily points during the week and use some of the weeklies at the weekend for a few glasses of wine! I just resisted my husbands night snack pakora, yippee!

 

[Guppy051708]

oh my...im not one to eat loads of junk food but im having cravings...for brownies! ugh, i only have one point left....tempting...part of me says its okay since i have my weekly points ...the other part says STAY AWAY! since my weight has been stuck for the last two weeks....oh...i really want some chocolate!

 

[Try Rocking]

Hi Ew! I second everything suggested, especially the water! I try not to touch my weeklies or activity points. Definitely don't forget to enjoy yourself occasionally as well. Your weight will go up and down (sometimes despite you being super good) but just keep doing it and the weight will come off. Slow and steady is much better!

I'd love to munch too but I try and focus on bananas if I get hungry inbetween meals or I feel like munching. Not that that's always the case but I try not to have anything terribly bad in the house that I feel tempted by.

I hope all you ladies are doing great!
