I couldn't control the negative aspects...but now i'm ready to control the positive aspects...and at least i get to take 100% of the credit for all the good things that are hopefully coming my way....hoping as I lose the weight i get more confidence to start recruiting "friends list"....and start to trust again.
I hear ya...nothing worse than people just nit understanding how you feel and what you're going through.
I used to feel bad for letting my weight dictate my life, thinking I wasn't that shallow...then I realised that if something had such a huge bearing on everything I did then it did matter and was worth doing something about
We're getting there...slowly but surely!0 -

Lainy I know how hard it was for you to tell us your figures as I remember before you saying you didn't want to. Fair play to you. You've come along way both weight wise and emotionally. No-one here will judge your size after all we are all here for the same thing I can't imagine what it's like to have friends who do that to you. Keep it up as you're doing brilliantly and we're all here to support you!
You're probably right about the pro points and it being my choice this time round. I hate change especially when it's forced on me. Hopefully it'll show on the scales on Weds. Although haven't done any exercise this week due to college and assignments

Wow, well done! How long did it take and if you don't mind my asking how much did you lose?
god it's been so slooooooww but i joined last June and took to last week to lose 3 stones,,so i super glued my stones onto magnets today and stuck them onto my extractor hood in my kitchen,,that way i see them everytime i cook..:D on positive thinking when i first joined ww i cut out pictures of models and stuck my face on where the models faces were and stuck them onto the inside of my kitchen presses and also stuck labels of size 12 clothes onto them too,,so everytime i opened the press i saw me looking gorgeous in my makebelieve size 12 clothes and now i really do buy size 12's and some 10's:rolleyes:0 -

Such a good idea!!! Well done, I've 5st to lose, I'm hoping this time next year I'll be well on my way if not there!! Thanks for sharing, it makes it easier to know that someone else has done itWell my motivation yet again went out the window for the weekend. Kopparberg screwed me over last night and then today was just a disaster. Going to really have to try for the next few days now to regain myself by thurs.
Tell me about it...you're in UCD aren't you? It's soooo hard to be good WW-wise and be a student, esp. in UCD, theres nowhere to get a decent healthy lunch! Drink is a serious issue with me, I've kicked the cider and am trying to stick to the vodka and diet 7up, only problem is that gets me pretty drunk pretty quick so I look a 'dry arse' (as I've been told) when I sit out a drink!Lady Lainy wrote: »oh dont i know it....4euro kopperberg last thursday night when i went out...couldn't resist...
The strawberry & lime one is to die for... I love it..! My big thing at the mo is the Smirnoff Mojito, no idea how many PP, neither does my leader, but I can't help drinking it I love it so much! I'd be as well making my own but that's hassle :P0 -
After only being down 4lbs in 4 weeks and thinking I had a really good week last week, I've tried to be even better this week and I've succeeded...up until today. Now it wasn't TOO bad. I was out last night and wasn't overly hungover today but for some reason still had the hangover munchies. I had wholemeal toast and some mango for breakfast but my stomach was still rumbling violently a couple of hours later! I had a pack of Snack-a-Jacks and I tried to leave it as late as possible to have lunch/dinner so had it at about 4 o'clock. Had a large portion of chicken arabbiata (made with wholemeal pasta thinking it would keep me fuller!) and I was still picking at the leftover for the next half hour until I just threw the lot in the bin to stop me! Then I had two mint kit-kats within 20 minutes of each other. Then I promised myself that was it for the day but I had to go and get petrol and ended up buying a Lion Bar and a pack of S&V Hunky Dorys! Why I couldn't have at least gone for a better choice I don't know! Stopped tracking after the first kit-kat
I know it could have been worse, I still had about 5 weeklies left but I probably used them plus my dailies plus more and knowing my luck it will show on the scales on Tuesday I was really hoping for a good weight loss this week (2lbs would be fantastic) but I hope I haven't blown it! 0 -
maybe the blowout is what your body needed and may still give you a loss on tue,,get back on track tomorrow tho!!!ibarelycare wrote: »After only being down 4lbs in 4 weeks and thinking I had a really good week last week, I've tried to be even better this week and I've succeeded...up until today.

Can you request exaclty what you want in the sandwich - eg 2 slices of wholemeal bread, meat of choice (optional), plenty of free salad, and maybe a little mayo/butter. In most places now you can stand there watching em make up the sandwich thus you can make sure they dont use loads of mayo/butter(but If you can't no real hassle - they are out to make a profit, not give out tons of expensive fillers for free)
enjoy lunch out
yeah looking at the menu going on just calories and fat....think i'll go for a
baked irish ham wrap with ballymaloe relish....
and when i looked at there low fat menu....thats exactly what they had first on the menu...baked ham ballymaloe wrappo thingy
I have my old ww calculator, it works out at 4.5 OLD points....when they only give cals and fats, i do use the old system as a ROUGH GUIDE...
and if she doesnt want to go to obrians i can pop in and get it to go and she can go to Mcdonalds :P
(yes i know....slightly anal of me to plan my lunch out 3 days in advance) but these are the sorta steps i have to make my self do to stay on track...0 -

Hi all looks like a good auld therapy session in here at the weekend well done all of Ye, everyone is so determined in here we all want the same end result & there's no judgement in here so it deffo is a safe place to tell your number & your goals best WW meeting for sure!
Pretty good weekend I had a glass of wine Friday & yesterday & one short on Saturday also went out for lunch tofu & sushi so protien heavy but light pointwise even when you a/c for the oil they use to fry off the tofu! Bought Davina mccalls body buff DVD I was in hmv for ages trying to decide which one to buy the jillian micheals ones looked good but I know myself I wouldn't do well with her screaming at me through the tv & I liked the way davinas was set out into a warm up 2 workouts & specific areas to target I'm also going to start with my weights this wk I said I would once I had the first stone gone so no excuses now!! :P going to aim to do the DVD twice a week as well as the walking I'm hoping that will help tone me up all over when I'm trying to shed the next 2 2.5 stone!
I'm out on audit today so I've made a mixed salad some salmon & some baby spuds lots of fruit & water in my bag as well I want to try limit sambos to twice a week max if possible!
Hope everyone has a great week enjoy the sunshine ladies 0 -
I am not going to back track on my ww journey as I have done before, just because I've had a bad week it doesn't mean I'm going to give up!
Sorry for my rambling all, just needed to put it in black and white.
Just what I needed to hear, thanks!
After no sleep over the weekend with scouts I was over by about 30 points but I'm coping on today, I've 25lb to lose and I will do it and ye're motivation will help! Just finding it slower this time! At least I'm back fitting into my clothes from this time last year 0 -
From tomorrow I am going to drink at least 3 litres of water, totally reduce my carb and crap intake and NOT go over my 29 daily allowance. Will also go to gym tomorrow for at least 1.5 hours to try and claw back any damage I have done. I am not going to back track on my ww journey as I have done before, just because I've had a bad week it doesn't mean I'm going to give up!
Sorry for my rambling all, just needed to put it in black and white.
nothing here is rambling.....the things we write here...are things we need to write...weather its just to acknowledge a good day....or acknowledge a bad day....puttng it down on "paper" so to speak makes it all the more real...and easier to stick to 0 -
Well I did it! Managed to resist the biscuits in the press last night and stuck to my 29pp - first Sunday night in weeks that I was good:D:DLady Lainy wrote: »(yes i know....slightly anal of me to plan my lunch out 3 days in advance) but these are the sorta steps i have to make my self do to stay on track...
3 Days in advance is nothing! When I get my tracker on Thursday nights, while I'm sitting waiting for the meeting to start, I'm already filling it in for the whole of the next week so I know exactly what I'll be eating on any given day! I can't handle not knowing. It might sound a bit much to ppl, but I leave my house for work at 6am, I don't get home until 5.30pm so if I don't know exactly what I'm making for dinner, I would eat all sorts of crap!0 -
