Been reading the posts and see that others finding it hard too. in the last 2 WIs I STS and the +1.5lbs which totally hacked me off!!!:mad: as I'd been pointing and was sure I'd compenstaed for a late night on the rip. Was back to gym and leader said it might have something to do with that, hmmmm
.
Good news is I'm still motivated and good incentive as meeting lost of people over the holidays plus skiing in Jan. Will try, correction, will ensure, I stay tracking right up to ski hol in Jan.:)
One question, I've found I'm using a fair bit of ketchup & brown sauce to flavour and aslo love the Hot Chilli sauce in SubWay - should I be pointing these? Never bothered so far.0 -

It was really really hard to go though knowing I was up.
When I did weigh in there it was, but not as bad as I thought. I was up one pound. Which is ok but I still went outside and cried afterwards. I was heartbroken, even though I knew it was coming. Explained all to my leader and she was really good. She puts it down to hormones or maybe under eating (as I had been saving a lot for this xmas party, I've 17 1/2 saved)
So please, if there's a god in heaven, when I weigh myself next Christmas eve I'll be down.
Really wanted to have 4 stone gone by Christmas, but I've far exceeded my original goal that I had set so I should be thankful.
My last Xmas party I was busting out of a size 18 dress (and thankful I could fit into it!!!)
This Xmas I'm in a size 14 River Island dress which I wouldn't have even dreamed of last year! I'm 3stone 10 1/2 pounds lighter and should be happy (but that +1 pound still cut like a knife!)
Anyway, had a chinese this evening, still in points, party tomorrow and with a bit of luck my weight will come down somewhat before Xmas.

Ah DWG don't cry - 1lb up is nothing compares to 52.5 lb down and that is what you have lost - 52.5lb - that is massive and 1lb is only 2% of an increase in comparison to the overall weight loss (sorry I am a maths nerd) and having lost 98% in the last year - I personally think 98% effort is AMAZING
:):):):) Don't be too hard on yourself, I was up 3lb since I crashed my car but I know that I can get back down, I am still 6lb off the goal I set myself for Christmas but I feel way slimmer and finally am beginning not to see myself as "fat"... Just remember 98% effort!!!!!!! Overall you have lost 25% of your starting weight – that is ¼ - to me that is pretty savage!!!!! Sweetie you have gone from size 18 to size 14 (size 14 to me is perfectly normal and you will look fab in your River Island )
Relax and enjoy the weight loss and the comments:)

Nearly made me cry again!
That's such a nice way to put it!!
Thanks so much! xx
Not a bother!!!! I actually calculated incorrectly - you are at 65.5% of your goal and 1lb is 1.25% of that whole goal so to me looking at the numbers you are doing great:)
I HAVE my bad days too and its nice to get support!!!! Pity someone wouldnt take the jelly beans away from me though - that is the kinda support I need right now - feeling pure sh**ty due to period and cant snap out of my mood and am eating for Ireland today

Yeah I'm the same. It's as if cos there is no meeting my head just went
"YEAAAAAAAAYY!!! Let's eat!!"
And I'm here trying to resist! Have stayed in points so far.... but have had 3 chineses!!! Ha! What a joke like! Damage control though with the chinese by having King Prawn Chow mein!
Damn you Christmas! I'm teaching and so far I've had 6 boxes of chocolates!!! You'd think my parents would have realised given that a few of them have mentioned my weight loss to me! Bless the thought though!
Speaking of presents heard it may be banned!!! 6 boxes of chocolate = 6 presents for people from you My granny is a great present recycler - she wins at golf and bridge and we get them :)
I don't go to meetings but boyfriend took me to the G Hotel (5*) on Friday to celebrate after my exams and we stayed overnight (impulse but was so worth it) and had brekkie too eating over load and its not even Christmas and I am not even at home with my family yet where all the food will be
Think I will be walking every day!!!!0 -

Guys its great to know that after all of this xmas eating trauma there will be support when we need it after it all.............. i must have eaten 3 packets of walkers cheese and onion today. i cant control my cravings!!!! :mad:
Half a box of toffifee things here. I haven't lost or gained anything in 3 weeks.
I think I need a bit more willpower but its a disastrous time of year for that 0 -

Hi, How is everybody getting on??
I'm getting on pretty well, weighed myself at home in my pjs this morning and was 12st 9lb, was 12st 12lb in ww last week in clothes. So looks like I'm at least down a pound.
My food has not been good but I have been in my points so at least that is something! :rolleyes:
I hate not getting weighed in at ww though, I really miss my meeting! I am definately going to continue going weekly when I'm at goal!
Really want to lose over xmas, 1lb would be good to hit 60lb! But I would LOVE to lose 4lb and get my 4.5stone!
How does everyone keep up their motivation?? I find keeping my food diary is an amazing help! Also I started making YouTube Vlogs on weightloss so thats new and exciting.
I also take out my WW books from last year and look at my weight. I was 16st 4lb at last weigh in before xmas last year and this year my last weigh in was 12st 12lb! I want to appreciate how far I've come and I know I am not going back!! Also I look at pictures from last xmas and the difference is shocking! And my old clothes! They won't even go near me! HUGE!
I hope everybody is managing ok! Be good but don't kill yourself and beat yourself up if you have a slip up just jump start back into it asap!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!
Remember GOAL in 2010!! We can all do it!!

hi all hope you all had a great xmas and managed ww better than i seem to have!
all was going well until i jumped on the scales this morning!! i weighed myself at home last tuesday morning when i would normally have my WI and i appeared to be down 2lbs which i was delighted with BUT i lost the run of myself then for the week and now i appear to have gained 5lbs since then:mad::mad::mad::mad:.
So i got a WII fit for xmas and have been playing about with it the last few days with friends and it seems to work as my arms have been aching from it the last two days!:o so im hitting the WII fit big time this week and its back to aquafit next week too.
im on damage control big time and am currently cooking up a big pot of 0point soup to live on till next tuesdays WI and hopefully i will at least sts!!:rolleyes::rolleyes: heres hoping anyway!!:o
Best of luck to you all for the rest for the rest of this week happy new year to ya all!!!!!!!!!0 -

Well....
I think ye all have done better than I!
To be honest though, I think I did ok.
Compared to my normal WW approach, it was horrific!!!
But compared to my usual Christmas habits I did well!
I took three days off. Xmas Day, Stephens and the day after. Now I had intended going on the wagon yesterday but got a bit sidetracked. Was probably over points but nothing too major.
Last Christmas I had drank my body weight in full fat coke by this stage and I haven't touched a drop this year! I also got a selection box this year and a tube of malteasers. Now I ate the malteasers but I managed to give away all but two pieces of my selection box!!! (But I did devour the wispa while watching "Up!" :O
All in all though I'm ok. Pointing today now. Very good intentions of staying in points. I'm not going to try and save any yet because I think that would kill me and I could go the other way!!! If I stay in points I'll be doing well!!
Going to go for a walk in a minute (if it stops raining!) Our area was really badly hit with ice to the point where we couldn't leave the house! (our house is on a severe slope!)
So now it has melted I might succeed today!
Hope everyone is having a nice Xmas! xx0 -

There's low fat ben & jerrys?? Nobody ever told me that! :eek:
Have been horrendous over Christmas, haven't pointed anything in about two weeks and have had plenty of pringles and wine. Started again today but after getting used to eating so much the last few days I don't know how I'm ever gonna get back on track 0 -
