Don't be heartbroken. It's important to remember hard work doesn't go unrewarded. As our leader said to Jwacqui tonight 1/2 a pound is only a cup of tea.
Keep going strong and ur loss will show prob next week sure havent we all shown up late to something every now and then

1/2 lb is honestly nothing. You could easily have that lost tomorrow. If you track perfectly between now and the weekend and then straight after the wedding, then between last weeks really good week and this week there is no reason why you shouldn't see a loss next week. You have done really well in getting to goal so you just have to keep up the motivation

Don't be upset with yourself tiny_penguin. It could actually be muscle you've put on with all the exercise. Aim to have another good week this week and like Eabhabear said you could well have a loss next week. Think about how far you've come in getting to your goal.

Amazing results! Just goes to show all of us that get a gain or a sts to keep on going and the results will show! good on you!
Work was mental today spent whole day in a bad mood.. so busy i can barely breathe! Anyways we had a birthday cake to share at lunch an i had some.. id say there was about a million pp in it! Its from the cheese cake shop not sure the exact time but hopefully ill be able to estimate the points..
Have lunch and dinner out on Saturday hoping i can try stay as much on track
as possible!
Good luck to you all weighing in tonight!0 -
I have my WI tonight and the optimism I had is gone. I feel very bloated and heavy so not expecting much. Well done to everyone who had losses last night and to those that were up, today's the start of a new week
I wouldn't worry about feeling bloated, I've felt like that and still had losses.
My leader said its something to do with eating more fibre in the diet and you'll have to up your intake of water to counteract it.
You'll be fine
I stayed the same this week but I'm not too disappointed. It was a short week and it wasn't a gain so ill take it!
Well done everyone on another brill week 0 -
Very nervous about my first WI tonight. Besides Saturday, I think I did pretty well, but I really hope that one evening hasn't been the undoing of me!!
I'm nervous about the week ahead too. Have dinner and drinks out tomorrow night with friends, then another house party on Saturday. Invited out on Sunday night too but going to try make my excuses for that. Then next Tuesday I'm going to Sean Locke...usually if I was going to something like that after work I'd hang around town beforehand and get something to eat with my boyfriend but I think I'll head home after work, get a proper dinner and then just head in for the gig, and NO drinking!
This is the menu for the early-bird I'm going to tomorrow...any tips?

SOUP

Hello all.
I've not been on here for ages but I thought I'd pop in to see how everyone's doing, great to see you're all doing so well!
I stopped doing WW a few months ago, not because it didn't work for me as I lost about 3 stone, but I was at a healthy weight, BMI of 24, and when I asked my leader about goal she shrugged it off and said I needed to get to 10st 7 or 10st 5 (I'm 5 ft. 7).
The combination of her lack of interest in me after coming so far and not discussing goal with me just put me off and I started the 5:2 instead which suits my lifestyle better.
I read back over a few pages and I noticed that some of you were discussing goal and said that when you reach a BMI of 25 you are at goal.
Pity that wasn't the case for me! 0 -

Sounds like you had a bad leader - your goal should be a personal thing to you and not what someone else sets for you. If you are within a healthy BMI then that should be down to you. I would have been going to another leader if that had been the case. When i got to BMI of 25 and I was struggling to get to the goal i set myself, my leader was encouraging me to call where I was my goal as I was healthy and had come so far.0 -

I think I'd go with the soup (skip the bread & the butter) and the chicken curry. Just enjoy what you eat and you can excercise to make up for it!!
On a different note - I tried the Special K crisps. The salt and vinegar are nicer than the sour cream & onion but for 2pp there is loads in the bag and they are lovely!0 -

I would go salads wit dressing on side or else maybe the chicken wrap and stay away from all the fries! Easier to try point than something like a curry or soup as they could have cream or about milk added.. For starters maybe the lamb kebab.. i assume they mean the ones on the skewers..
Either way enjoy yourself :-)0 -

After 4 weeks of ups and downs I was don't 5.5lbs this evening!
That's 10lb gone now! Hoping to near my first stone in the next 2 weeks!
Wedding in July and I really want to have a good bit gone by then but the other wedding in September is more important so that's my goal! 2 stone gone by then! Maybe not so realistic but that's the figure in my mind!
Good look with all weight losses this week

I was down 2.5lbs tonight, absolutely delighted. I was hoping to get my first mini goal, back into the 13s, which would have required another lb. I was probably a bit too ambitious. I made my fruit juice tonight and I have my exercise planned for the week. I hope that my reintroducing exercise this week that it doesn't effect the scales next week as while I don't mind losing the weight slowly, it really has been snails pace so far!
Well done to everyone on your losses tonight. Some fantastic numbers.
Misschoo when you join, some leaders automatically set a random goal. You hit that random goal tonight which is why you had to reset it. Regarding your actual goal, go with the number that feels right to you now. As you get closer to that, you can make it higher or lower depending on what you are comfortable with. You are allowed to set your own goal with the aid of your leader. As long as it is under 25 then WW shouldn't have an issue with it.
Chickatees Did you include absolutely everything in your tracker, including alcohol, fizzy drinks, coffee (milk/sugar) etc? Did you suddenly up your exercise this week? Did you eat your full amount of dailies every week? Are you on any antibiotics or anything like that? If there's no reason for the gain, then sometimes our bodies just don't cooperate. I know its frustrating but if you stick to plan this week then you should see a loss next week.
I have found in the last week or so that setting goals or challenges have helped me stay on track. One of them was to try a new fruit or veg each week which I have been doing. I'm still battling the fizzy drinks challenge but there has been improvements This week I want to battle my scales addiction. After our discussion about weighing during the week, I have realised I am a bit obsessed. So I am going to try and stay off them until Saturday, allow and sneak peak and then stay off them until my WI on Wednesday. 0
