[Vickie]

Ew and welcome!

Well done on your losses Jelly and Carly!

bad few days for me--it was Hannah's birthday weekend and there was lots of eating out and lots of cake. Oh well. Stayed on track today and will stay on the rest of the week and hope for not much gain/STS for Saturday

 

[Try Rocking]

So I ate light all day (not my intention, it's just how it worked out) and I had 20 points leftover (crazy right?) for dinner and beyond.
So I made scalloped potatoes (omg I've missed those so much), steamed broccoli and steak and it was delicious. I was well within my points and even now after having a latte I still have 4 points left over I feel guilty. I feel like I completely splurged and went way over my points.

Does anyone else ever feel like that? I mean, I'm use to steak but the scalloped potatoes are such a luxury lol
I totally feel guilty. :\

 

[Guppy051708]

wow! thats awesome you got to eat all of that (and yummy is def a plus!) and still be within your points.
i wouldn't feel guilty...id probably trought around the house bragging about what i ate and still being within range

 

[Try Rocking]

hahaha well I showed a loss this morning so my guilt is gone lol

I am now 2.6 lbs away from my halfway goal! I'm so excited

My scalloped potatoes were 7 points! I couldn't believe it, that's more points than my damn steak was lol Totally worth it though, I want to have another day like that so I can enjoy some scalloped potatoes again lol

 

[Guppy051708]

ohh....i want some scallop potatoes....with cheese! oh my lol this is making me hungry for some

go you!!! you are doing fab!!!!!!!

 

[Guppy051708]

im going to be really disappointed if im the same weight on friday. i have not lost weight for 2 weeks and i can't figure out why. Its getting really discouraging. I went on a plateau for 12 weeks, then joined WW 7 weeks ago and havn't really had a problem. Sure there was a couple weeks where i gained, but the following week i would lose...but since joining WW this is the first time that iv gained/maintained for 2 weeks. ...how can one plateau after only losing 6lb??

 

[Try Rocking]

It sounds odd! Hopefully your WI shows a good loss! Are you drinking enough water?

 

[Guppy051708]

yeah, im drinking at least the minimum.

the only difference in my diet is that i have been eating more meat lately. Due to high cholesterol, found out a couple months ago even though i truly dont eat bad, im a weekday vegeterian and a weekend omnivore (its a good compromise, i lowered my cholesterol 17 points in 3 weeks doing this) but for the past week or two we have been eating meet a few times per week plus on the weekend, and im not sure if thats why?..but still i stay within my points and its mostly lean meats

 

[Guppy051708]

ohh...forgot that im going to the endo tomorrow about my low thyroid...maybe my meds need upped....

 

[pdmcd17]

I'm suppose to go to wi tonight I still will
I'm so busy with packing and moving stuff at doh for the renos that start sat, then next weekend I'm moving ( what a way to spend a long weekend)

I'm trying to eat good but activity isnt my priority
I think carting all the carp out of the basement to the curb and garage over 30 trips today
And making the for run ( toilet area should count)

Getting groceries tomorrow so we don't do take out all weekend
I need to get back on plan- why dies life make it hard

Hey everyone! Good job with all the losses. I've been teetering between 236 and 239 lately the past 3 weeks, mainly staying right at 237. It's frustrating, but I'm working at it, so I understand how you feel Guppy. I've never been smaller than this, but there was once a time with I was 17 that I weighed right at this, so I think my body is fighting going smaller, into "new" territory.

It also doesn't help that I recently tried using the Pill, and it made me gain about 10 pounds in a month, and so I quit using it in June and I think my body is still reacclimatizing. Oh well.

 

[pdmcd17]

so i went to wi i was up 2
now to try harder, i am all done everything i need to do today so i will head to the gym

i reread my earlier post the toilet area i was referring to was the dog run/toilet area

 

[Try Rocking]

Guppy that's really weird. I eat meat every night! (total meat eater here lol)
Hopefully your body cooperates soon and you start losing!

Sorry to hear that Pdmcd, on to the next week! lol I didn't even realize how odd the toilet run comment sounded, that's awesome lol

mbrew I hate when I teeter for weeks on end. I've been doing that for a while and it's so frustrating! Hopefully you start losing again soon!

hi can i join, I cant get on with the ww forum, plus ive got more in common with you mums, joined yesterday and am doing ok so far.

A few questions - does using the wii count as exercise ?

H and I have a "date" on monday to the cinema and lunch - I was thinking of doing lunch first and getting a latte and have a pack of my special k mini bites with me as they are 0 pp's if I get hungry. Re lunch whats the better option mc'donalds, pizza hut or nandos ??? a bit of what i like and a side salad ?

am 10st 10 and want to loose the 10

 

[Ew68j5]

Hi Mrs Doddy...We're both just starting out, I've got about double what you have to loose but hopefully we'll both get there quickly!

I would think that nando's would probably be the best of the trhee - some chicken, sweetcorn and salad can't be too bad - I'm not sure if they are pointed. Do you have the phone app? Its great - immediate answers with the calculator. Or maybe you could check the restaurant websites, often they give nutritional info.

Best of luck - so far I've found it pretty easy to stick to as I'm still on mat leave and have plenty of time to plan meals. However - back to work next week so we'll see, I hope I can keep it going.

 

[Try Rocking]

If there's an app that tells you how many points stuff is I would definitely look at it! I thought I had gotten a healthy option from Boston Pizza the last time I went and it ended up using almost all my daily points!

The wii does count as exercise!

And also, welcome Mrs Doddy

Try Rocking, I know the WW app has a lot of restaurants on it, though I'm not sure about the Boston Market, but https://www.exercise4weightloss.com/weight-watchers-points.html#A_C is a website that even I, with my horrible smartphone, can access easily from my phone's browser. If that is an option for you, they have a GREAT database for many restaurants and I use it all the time. Hope this helps!

Hun, your weight loss is amazing. Have you lost it all on WW? I need to lose nearly 6 stone and it seems such a distance!

Is there a UK version of that website? It would help loads!
