Hi Everyone
I've been in ww for a while now and up until october I was doing really well. Since then I feel like I've really lost my mojo.... I've gained four pounds since Christmas and I'm worried that I'm on a slippery slope again back to 13 stone 3. I've tried diets before and I was really happy with my progress then for some reason since Christmas I've been a disaster.... Back to old eating habits.... When I've munched my way through all sorts of crap then after I feel disgusted with myself.
I keep going to meetings because I know if I miss one I'll fall off the wagon completely! I hear everyone talking about filling and healthy and I can't come across it. I did miss a meeting due to a hospital appointment. I got two easy start booklets.... And also one on Chinese food.
I'm hoping that you can help me ladies. I don't want to be back to square one again!
Thanks!
you should have got a booklet on it at your meeting, so I would ask your leader, but here some information on it,http://www.weightwatchers.co.uk/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=49711&sc=3010
on getting back on track, its good your going to meetings! but start fresh today and plan your meals and snacks aim to have one good day and let it roll in to another one.
good luck! 0 -

Yea thats our plan. My Valentines treat is just spending time with him like we normally wouldn't during the week so I'm making dinner (pp approved and tasty) and were gonna light the fire and watch a movie. My OH is under strict instructions to GET me choccies. I'm a diabetic so Valentines and Xmas are the only times I allow myself a couple of nice ones from a box :rolleyes: To be fair he will eat most of them and I'll only have a couple tonight and maybe a couple tomorrow night. I can't ever go mad with chocolate

I do a lot of walking all the time so it doesn't feel like exercise to me any more think my body to used to it, so I think I have to do more! if you ever get a chance try EA active game, I am using it and find it great I have completed the first part of the program, it covers cardio and toning you really feel it, when I first started my tummy muscles were very bad I was barely able to do 5 reverse crunches now I can do the 20I use the original one... I use the basic step first, I do that twice to warm up, then I do the advanced step twice too... after that I do ten mins jogging and the rest at the boxing... Works out just over the 30 mins...
I hadn't been on it in a few days coz I have been out walking a few miles a day but last night I was too tired when I got home to go out so I had my dinner and relaxed for a half hour then got on the wii...
I used my sisters Zumba dvd then after that... Thank god I was in my house... I was embarrassed to bits! I have no rhythm whatsoever!! I gave it a good go though... just tried to keep moving....
I do the Avon as well, and in the Avon catalogue last week I got this toning thing, its all ropes and pulleys that you attach to the door. It's quite good, can feel it pulling and stretching so hopefully the jelly belly will be on the move soon!
Great to hear you are finally feeling better... there is nothing worse! You have no motivation for ANYTHING let alone getting up and exercising!!! delighted with that and the gap I had between them has closed! so I'm getting there I don't think its speeding up my weight loss but I'm feeling better and fitter and noticed it more in inches I have a Zumba DVD as well Ive tried it twice liked it not so sure about a class though yet!
might check out Avon on line see what they have
with a bit of luck this week I will be back in the 11 to were I was before Christmas! :mad: so not happening me next year! I don't care no weight gain for me next year! at least it did not take as long as I thought it would to get back to were I was though!Right - Lets give this another go then. Gonna do my weigh ins at home on a Monday morning and follow the programme myself with the OH keeping tabs on me. Starting weight - 11st 10 and 3/4 pounds.
whoo hoo good luck

Do you need the Wii Motion Plus for that game?? I only have the bog standard Wii...
The little one got the Just Dance 3 on the Wii for Christmas from her grandparents so maybe I will get that out with her over the next few days and see how we get on... Watched my recording of Operation transformation last night and saw that girl Natalie on it and she was giving it socks in the nightclub so maybe I can do that in my sitting room! haha!0 -

Yoga tonight followed by 3 evenings of the gym - hope it will work off my big Sat night dinner!

I am really making a concious effort to get active this time around... my aul peg leg is really starting to build up which is great considering this time last year i couldn't walk on it at all.(last valentines day I was still on the crutches and almost killed myself walking around the corner from the house to Lidl... I will never forget it as long as I live!) .. I started slowly with the walking and the step aerobics but like you say you kinda need an aul push to get those few lbs down... Hoping for some kind of movement on the scales tomorrow... Had a sneaky look at the scales this morning and it looks like I am the same... but what can ya do... I know I am making changes for the better...
Ouch! fair play getting back on your feet! when wi sts could stay or be down so dont count them eggs yetthe west wing wrote: »Down 4 1/2 lbs today! Absolutely delighted! Makes up for putting on a pound last week.[/QUOTE

I'm glad you have decided to give it another go I really hope it works out for you.
I have my WI tomorrow but not really sure what to expect. I have stopped myself from stepping on the scales during the week. I feel good but I didn't do as much exercise as I should have :mad:
Well done west wing on such a great loss 0 -

hi girls... hope you are having a nice night...
can anyone tell me, and im sure I have asked this before, but how many of your weeklies do you all usually use...
I have used 12 weeklies, but aside from that I have stayed within my dailies all week.... even made a point of using each spare pp.
I use 95% if not all of my weeklies every week. I find it hard not to. I like a few drinks at home with the OH on the weekend and a packet or 2 of snack-a-jacks so that uses up a fair few. I tried to only use half last weekend but because we were celebrating Valentines on Saturday, I ended up using all of them.

Ugh, feeling really crap. Have a throat infection and blocked sinuses and my plan was to walk on Saturday (which I did) and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (WI on Thursday) but since yesterday, have been feeling so miserable that I haven't done a tap and won't feel like it tomorrow either. I went over my PP by 10PP yesterday because I was just picking at mccambridge bread and real butter etc and I stepped on my scales this evening (I know I shouldn't but i'm a scales addict) and it says I am up 1lb. I don't understand at all. 10PP is about 400 calories. You have to consume an extra 3,500 calories in a week to gain a pound... so annoyed. It is so easy for me to put on weight, but super super hard to lose it and I just don't understand!! 0 -

I fill up on fruit and veggies all the time... bring my lunch/breakfast with me to work so i have the likes of cracottes with low low cheese or cereal for breakfast with 2 mandarins, grapes, apple etc... then for lunch i have like a wrap (I use the tesco light choices ones for 4pp each) with ham and low low cheese (can you sense a theme here? :P ) with a yogurt or fruit (today i had mandarins, grapes and carrot sticks to pick at) that leaves me with well over 14/15pp for my dinner... i usually fill up on veggies alongside chicken/beef or fish...
tonight I had 14pp left so i had a portion of WW chips (5pp) and one of the lightly dusted fish fillets that were recommended i think by tiny penguin... they are 4pp... and i had loadsa veggies so i still have 5pp left... going to have one of the ww eclairs in a bit... might even have two....
just try to mix up my veggies a bit that way i don't just get mushy veg every day... it would drive me bananas... ha!
i tend to use my weeklies on a wednesday night with a take away or something really naughty then be good for the rest of the week....0 -

Monife, I'm the very same as u!! If I go over my points at all that's it I'm up!! My friend could eat a whole pizza and not gain a pound!! If I look àt the pizza poof I'm up 4lb!!
Try to just put it passed u! I'm an awful picker (ESP between 5 & 6) so I have bought chubba Chubb lollies and I'm making it last me an hour!! It's kept me away from the cheese for the last few days!! (which isn't easy)
Now come on build a bridge over yesterday and today and start again tomorrow! U know u can do it!!! 0 -

I feel for you, if you feel half as bad as I did with blocked sinus! I thought migraine pain was bad! your better off taking a small break from exercise if your not feeling well, I did last week as well. you know there is a difference of about a pound or two through out the day you normally weigh more at night than in the morning, I say it will be gone by Thursday WI, just rest and eat well for the rest of the week! I know for a fact if I stepped on the scales it show me up now! its a pain how easy it can go on and takes an age to come back off. don't beat your self up about it now esp when your not feeling so well.
Mine goes on in a flash! yet I'm still here trying to get back to were I was before Christmas! crawls off at snails pace! just as long as it keeps that up and I will be happy!0 -

Where do you get the WW chips? I have never seen them. And how many grams do you get for 5PP because there are some "normal" oven chips (I think one of the green isle ones, correct me if I am wrong) are 5PP for 150g.0 -

Ah don't fret Lisa, it's only one week and there are many weeks to go ie. a lifetime So don't worry about it. As this is a life change and not a diet, there will of course be weeks where we are up and sts, sure if we just kept losing for the rest of our lives there'd be nothing left of us 
There'll even be weeks where we should definitely have lost but our bodies are not having it, and that's just the way it is, but those weeks will be few and far between hopefully. Sure I had a personal pizza from pizza hut and some nachos last nght, I think I'm over my weeklies by about 10 pp, but couldn't be sure. But if I'm up or sts this week I won't mind, because I'm never going to be perfect every week, you have to splash out and celebrate sometimes, but once you get back on track afterwards you'll be fine in the long run.
Don't beat yourself up hun x0 -

do you notice that when you get to a new stone bracket its like a tug of war for a week to two before the body sorts it self and stays in the new stone bracket! Im hoping this week I finally get back in to the 11 and stay there then onwards to the tens!
you will be back in the 11 bracket before you know it! 0 -
