Go to your weigh in and draw a line under it and don't give up! you are doing so well. You are one of the posters that has really motivated me in the past so hopefully I can help motivate you aswell:)
Aw thanks a million, that's so lovely
Yeah I'm gonna bite the bullet, I'm not going to beat myself up too much either. I'd love to be losing weight quicker and more consistently but the most important thing is to keep going, even if it's happening slowly. 0 -

I've eaten my full daily points every single day, and my full 49 weeklies (and a few extra sometimes!) every single week since I joined, and I've had losses every single week except 2 weeks, following holidays. In my past 5 weigh-ins I've lost 3lb, 2lb, 0.5lb, 3lb and 1.5lb. I go for a jog once or twice a week, and that's it. I firmly believe that the plan works, and that if you stick to the points, you will lose weight! The infamous plateau will definitely happen if you under-eat. And eating the full 49 can shake your metabolism up a bit too and make your body work harder.
That's exactly what I was hoping to hear! I have such a sweet tooth and without the weeklies I think I'd pack it in. I used all my weeklies last week and I was still down 1 lb today, such a relief, I had myself all prepared for a gain.
This week I'm thinking of doing the same while upping the exercise.0 -

Hi all, Just back from my meeting and am a pound down:) Onwards and Downwards!
Have a nice weekend everyone:)
Well doneThere is afternoon tea and cake here in my section for a fellow who is leaving......what on earth do I eat and how on earth will I point!!!
Are there various cakes? If so, go for the plainest one possible, with the least cream and icing! And just have a small slice...and enjoy it! You can google later to try and estimate how many PP.0 -

I think I could possibly have discovered the reason for last week's gain. Not only did I eat bread almost every day (usually I'd have maybe 4 slices in the week) but I discovered I wasn't counting enough PPs for it. I use the Aldi Best of Both bread and assumed it was 2PP. Nope! It's actually 4PP PER SLICE! :eek:
I hate when that happens. I had a similar situation a few weeks ago where I had pointed Milky Way bars as 2 but they're actually 3
at least you know the reason for the gain and you'll have it lost next week! 0 -

7.5lbs down my first week :eek:
Some of that definitely has to be because I had more food in my system when I joined up or something like that.. Still would like to hope that 3 or 4lbs of that is actual fat loss!
Down to 29pp a day now
OMG!
Can I ask, Jubella, what your height is, and what your starting weight was? Totally understand if you don't want to divulge that information.
Just, I'd be curious about what I might possibly lose in a week if I get my arse in gear..0 -

Would you mind PM'ing me as well? I'm curious as well as I could use a kick as my weight loss has been so slow the last few weeks. Did you do anything like cut down on bread or anything or did you just stick to points.0 -

Done!
I just stuck to my points - ate most of what I usually would have which included 2 slices of bread about 4 out of the 7 days. Had small treats like chocolate and crisps as well. Ate a lot more veg and smaller portions of everything.
I'm sure it's just my body getting a little shock as only last week I was eating all around me! I'm still happy with the loss though 0 -

Hi Duffy, I am the same in that I have to work really hard to get a weight loss each week. I have never had any higher then a 3lb loss and mostly its a pound or half pound.. I have to walk a few times a week and do boxercise or other exercise a few times a week in order to have any kind of loss.
The only advice that I could give is maybe to do a little more exercise and track and just keep at it because it will shift eventually.
Dont give up and if I can help in any way I will. To lose weight is the hardest thing that any of us can do so just keep going.:)
Thanks so much for your reply. Its nice to know other people are in the same boat. I actually started the c25k yesterday which was big for me as I have been putting it off thinking I'm too big to do it :rolleyes: I'm going to do day 2 instead of going to weigh in so that will keep me away from the temptation of food. I'm coming to the realisation that I won't be at the weight I want to be at for a friend's wedding and I think that is what has bogged me down the last few weeks. Just going to keep going and hopefully next week it'll show 0 -

Your right just do what you have to do for you and not for any occasion and set yourself little goals and work towards them. The c25k should help you achieve some of those goals aswell. This weight loss thing is a constant battle and it can get you down but just keep going and if there is anything I can do to help just ask:)0 -
Well I'm back, and I'm delighted at how great everyone is doing! I've been off the radar for the last month or so because I moved to Dublin and was living in a hostel with terrible internet.(Glamourous I know!)
So I've been eating rubbish but trying to stay good, and I've lost 3 pounds and got to my first goal weight! Now that I've found a place to live and have CONTROL over what I eat, and that I can plan my food I think I'll do better. I'm also moving to a new class so it's all go here!
Today didn't go well points-wise, but really it was a necessity and I don't feel bad. I haven't counted them yet, but I've my books here beside me to do it- day 1 of my week and all my weeklies are probably gone! But I was giving blood and you need the sugar and snacks they give you to keep you from fainting after. So I might not lose this week, but someone will be better off. Priorities.
But all in all, back on the wagon, and 9 pounds to go to my ultimate goal weight!0 -
