Hi Everyone!
I've been following your thread for the last few weeks but this is my first time to post. I need some motivation and advice so hopefully you can help
So I got to goal about 4 years ago and pretty much stayed at it for about 3 years but for some reason over the last year my eating habits have gone to hell. I have put on 12lbs and I'm finding it so hard to get back on track and get back to goal. I start out pointing on a Monday and last until Thursday or even sometimes Friday but the weekend arrives and I just give in and eat whatever I want and usually the worst type of food and far too much of it and then I go to work on Monday feeling awful and trying to start again. I haven't had 1 full good week in months. I don't know why I'm being like this as I really had my head around eating well for years but I seem to have no control over my eating and my choices. So I'm going off drink for November as I think that is also causing problems with my eating as I usually go out 1 night over the weekend and spend the next few days eating all around me. I went back to WW classes about a month ago determined to lose the 12 lbs before Christmas but I haven't gone back since as I know I've been so bad and probably put on more!!
I still follow the old WW points system and I've wondering if you think I should try out the Propoints instead? If you could give me any help or tips on this I would appreciate it as I think I will struggle with it because the old system is totally ingrained into me. (I've been doing it for over 13 years) I'm hoping that if I start doing the Propoints it might give me a shake up and might give me more focus to stick to it..
So that's my story.. Hopefully I can get back on track and start losing again 0 -

You have done great to maintain for that long, i am just 3 from goal and im really worried about the maintaining part. I probably would be a good idea to try the new system, just to get a fresh start might get you back on track. Best of luck onwards and downwards

You sound like me!
I almost got to goal last year (was a few lbs away) but never made the final leap to get my gold card.
Anyway since then I've been pretty good, weight goes up and down a little but on the whole I tended to stay around the 11 stone mark or a little under and was happy with that.
Anyway lately I've lost the run of myself. Like you I am good all week pretty much and then the weekend comes and it's like Forget about it!!
I used to be able to rein it in at the weekend but I have lost the ability to do that lately!
Help!!0 -

Yeh I think I will try the new system. Just been having a read of it there and I think it will be good. Also I'll go back to my meeting tomorrow and stay to listen to how other people are doing on it.. The focus is probably exactly what I need. Feel more motivated nowtryagain2012 wrote: »You have done great to maintain for that long, i am just 3 from goal and im really worried about the maintaining part.

Well done on being so close to goal - maintaining worked so well for me for so long but its easy for bad habits to creep in and that's exactly what has happened with me. Good luck with the last 3 lbs!! You will have those gone before Christmas 0 -

1.5 lbs seems to be the magic number today! I was also down 1.5 lbs Hopefully this week won't go too bad. Congrats to everyone who had losses today!
Just wondering if there are any coffee drinkers out there and if so do you think it affects your weight loss? I've never drank tea or coffee before but since starting work I've been drinking 2 cups a day with a small bit of milk and a bit of sugar. I'm scared its going to stall my weight loss as I really don't have the points for it and I feel like I need it :rolleyes:
Hi,
I have about 4 cups of coffe each day, I also use canderal as a replacement for sugar, and i point 3 pp for all the milk i use in each cup.
I don't think it should stop you losing weight as long as you are pointing the milk and sugar.
off to lunch, am starving!!!!0 -

I found last year when I was in full WW mode and being super good that when I started drinking tea every day (during the cold snap, was having 2 or 3 cups a day, sweetener and splash of low fat milk, all PP and accounted for), my weight loss stalled. It was the only thing I could think of and I googled it and it was something to do with the cafeine if you are slightly (or are) insulin resistant, which I think a lot of us could be.0 -

24th October. 2 months and it'll be Christmas Eve #justsayin
OH DEAR Batton down the hatches.... we're going to be slim by Christmas 0 -
Congrats to all on all the losses so far this week and welcome to more newbies
So I started off my new week a bit boldly by having apple tart for breakfast AND lunch (half of my defence was that my appetite still wasnt back to normal from the bug!). Disgraceful, I know..I was out for the rest of the day after that and had that notion in my head where ya think well I've already started off bad, no harm having more bad stuff, and was very close to buying more crap throughout the day, but the weight watcher in me came out and said no, reassuring myself that I'd only feel ten times worse and could undo my damage if I stopped there and then, so I did! Wouldn't let myself eat anything but a banana while I was out for the next few hours (being honest I was still kind of full from the tart!) and had a very light dinner when I came home, also forced myself to go for a walk in the wind and rain as punishment! Its days like those that make me worry about how easy it is to lose the run of yourself and before ya know it a few bad hours turns into a day, turns into a week, into a month, into a year,a nd the weight is back on.
I know that the work is nowhere near over even though I'm at goal! 0 -

I hate this time of year for weight watching. I am in quite a motivated mood at the moment but I am really weak and have zero willpower and this is the time when tins of quality street and roses start coming into work, various work nights out involving 3 course meals and drink and a good few of my close friend's birthdays are around this time. It's going to be tough!0 -

Just checking in having been on for a couple of weeks, so last week on my 3rd wi I was up 1lbs I was totally gutted but my leader assured me it was because it was totm so I took it on board and today at my wi I was down 3lb was so happy, a half a lbs to go to my silver seven. Was totally shocked with the 3lbs because had been at a friends for dinner fri night where quite a few drinks were consumed too:D but I really behaved the following day didnt do the usual tayto sandwich for breakfast and a kebab in the evening like I usually did with a hangover! Its great to know that you can still have some kind of a social life and loose weight at the same time. 0

I haven't been able to post much this week as I've been very busy in work. My week was a bit mixed of good days and bad but a sneak peak at scales say there's been no damage yet so hopefully I won't go too bad on the alcohol tonight
I'm working in town now so I find that I'm doing a lot more walking which is definitely helping. Hopefully if I get some exercise today and tomorrow I can rack up a loss on Monday. Hope everyone has a great weekend Hi everyone!

Welcome! Well done on your loss so far that's a great number. If you keep doing what you're doing you definitely will get that silver 7 this week or next.0 -

I have had an absolutely disastrous week!! I graduated from college on Thursday, which of course led to a beautiful (but no way WeightWatchers friendly) meal. I knew loads of people graduating all week so I've been out a lot. I knew this was gonna be a bad week though so, and this was a big achievement for me so I won't feel guilty about it! Dreading the WI on Tuesday but I'm getting back on the wagon tomorrow and hopefully it will show on the scales next week 0

Just got a smoothie from jump. Picked up a nutritional info leaflet on my way out...8 pp it worked out at!! Eeek!
You have to be so careful with things that seem low in points e.g. smoothies, salads and wheat products. However they can be healthier for you just higher in points. Its a bit of a catch 22 situation.
Regarding your coat situation. I had a similar situation where I bought a coat that fitted my perfectly sleeveless however it meant I couldn't wear my suit jacket under it. It was expensive as well. I ended up bringing it back. I was gutted because it was a gorgeous coat however there was no point keeping it as I need a coat now and the next size up would be too big on my body (it was the sleeves that were the problem) I think maybe bring it back and stick with your original plan. There'll be loads of nice stuff in the shops in November in the run up to Christmas.
To those having bad weeks/weekend, strike a line through it and move on. It'll do you no good thinking about it. Do out a plan for the week and stick to it. One day will only do some damage whereas a week will do a lot of damage!0 -

I was thinking about the smoothie afterwards. It wouldn't actually be 8 pp. the nutritional info is based on the carbs/protein etc of all the ingredients... Fruit juice, low fat frozen yoghurt, and fruit. A lot of the carbs would come from the fruit, but there's actually 0pp in that. There'd probably be a max of 5 pp in the smoothie altogether.
I was delighted with that development!0 -

Hi all
Joined weight watchers again four weeks ago. Was previously a member and have lost 3 stone to date.
Finding it very difficult to lose last little bit so joined again.
So far have lost 7.5 lbs. But weigh in today I put on 1.5lbs ;( damn bank holiday weekend.
Now im Currently weighing at 10;3.5.
Target weight is 9;9.
Can i get there in 5 weeks ??
Need motivation !!!!!!!!
Thanks 0 -
Hi Ceoilcailin, well done on losing 3 stone, thats some achievement, I am exactly the same weight as you and have the same target, which I was at this time last year, I am a gold card member but have lost all motivation so I will keep a close eye on your progress for the next 5 weeks. I believe its very achievable once in the right frame of mind. Plenty of vegetable soup, porridge for breakfast and write everything down. When I stopped keeping my food diary, I got very sloppy and weight crept up. I know its not much weight but a half a stone can make a huge difference in how we feel about ourselves. I'm just in from having dinner out and here eating ryvita and full fat butter, not hungry just laxadaisy... Please keep posting to keep us motivated for next 5 weeks..Good luck 0
