Only ten away? Fair play! Sure you could hit goal in the first month of 2014 if you kept at it. Maybe a new stress relieving outlet to let off some steam and get you to goal may give you an incentive? Ring in the new year in style.... Two birds and all that!
Ten to go, yep.
My first class of 2014 will be my anniversary of joining for the last time. Third time lucky. I've just started a few weeks temporary work and I'm finding it hard to get into a routine. Maybe I'll settle this week. I need to get back to walking too. I feel all out of sorts without it. I have to go into work for a bit in the morning but I think I'll try do 3 or 4km to get back into it.
Thanks for the reply. I think I just need a good kick up the backside!0 -

Sure that's normal that it would take a bit of time to settle to the new routine. You've only just started so be patient and kind to yourself, it is great to get the work especially before Christmas too, so well done you! Fleh, i could do with getting a walk in myself - haven't done a tap today, my day off and absolutely relishing in it! Up at the crack of dawn to get week 2 day 1 couch to 5k session behind me. I won't be able to reach my goal weight by January like you could, but I can reach one of my goals by early February which is to run a 5k mini marathon. I just decided this today lol, am excited at the thought. Gonna be very good at Christmas and then treat myself to new runners, a new sports bra, some dri fit capris and a nike tee in the sales; will feckin' need them at this rate, I can already feel my boobs and thighs shrinking yay :-D0 -
I've done nothing in two weeks! I'll get back into the swing of things. I have to stop being negative about everything.
I think I need a new sports bra myself, mine is too big. My boobs were huge so thankfully I could afford them shrinking a little bit
I was thinking of getting back to the C25k myself actually. Any tips? I was about 5 weeks in..

Haha, me too. I lovingly refer to mine as my gozongas and my jiggly ass as my badunka-bonk-bonk.. Think I'm gonna have to rename them soon...which is absolutely FINE by me. :-D

5 weeks!! I am dreaming of being that far with it haha, fair play, again! No tips really. I could maybe get some from you by the sounds of things! One thing I noticed was it was much easier if I stretched before and after, if even lightly. I googled some pretty and post run stretches. I didn't do this first few times and was sore!0 -

Stress of Christmas and getting work in order before the holidays-I'm just nibbling constantly and there's so many nights out right now, I'm eating crap the next day... I feel like I eat well during the week and then throw it all away at the weekends. I was up two last week, just going to weigh in and really crossing my fingers for a sts, but not holding my breath. :-(
I'm literally taking it each meal at a time as I'm all over the place atm for a few different reasons. I think that's all we can do for now and hopefully we can keep it under control and then after Christmas it'll fall into placeHi Duffy, Go back next week start afresh and try not to give the weight gain another thought. Its terrible when everything goes against you and your weight loss, I am battling with my motivation at the moment. Are you still running? you seemed to be doing so well with that.
You have been one of the posters who has always been there to motivate me in the past so hopefully I can do the same for you. Keep going it will eventually come off.:)
Aw thanks I wish I could find some of that motivation
The running stopped around the time the eating went out of control so trying to work up the courage to get back out again. I got to the end of week 5 so gonna start from week 3 again. I have been doing to odd kettlebell workout though which has helped.mess2asuccess wrote: »I'm finishing work today for Christmas and I'm not back til the 13th of January so I'm going to try my best and be really good with my eating and exercising in the weeks until Christmas. I'm taking the from the 23rd - 1st January off WW but I'm still going to track, even if I go waaaay over my points. This way I can see exactly where the damage is done and learn from it for other occasions. Also I know that if I give up sweets etc during Christmas I'll feel deprived and I'll feel resentful towards WW for ruining Christmas (crazy I know). But I am going to try and avoid over-stuffing myself over Christmas as that just makes me fell sick and makes me feel crap even if I'm eating gorgeous foods.
Is there a reason you're taking so long off from WW? WW doesn't mean that Christmas has to be ruined. If you're clever about it and plan ahead, you can still do WW and enjoy Christmas. I lost 5lbs over Christmas the last time I did WW. Take 3 days off and track and point the rest. Exercise over the Christmas and not just leading up to it. Its more about portion control rather than anything else!0 -

My ex referred to mine as "The Twins"... they're just nice now, I'm quite happy so I totally get what you mean 0 -

I think that was my problem tbh actually, no stretches. I better get Googling! Lol.
Best of luck with it!0 -

Sent my leader an email today to explain and she was so lovely. I'm gonna try my best to get back on track for next week. For about 5 days I was barely eating, and ever since I've been eating everything in sight, not to mention all the wine.
Anyway the last time I weighed in, I was 2 stone 1/2lb down. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm up 5 or 6 lbs. I'd be happy if, by the time we got to Christmas, I was back to being 2 stone down. Part of me was tempted to leave going back til the new year but I know it would spiral out of control then. I've worked hard and don't want to undo it all.
So sorry to hear about your breakup. Try and use it to motivate you rather than the other way around I was tempted to give up as well but I figured even if I can stay in around the same its better than the stone I could easily gain come January!seosamh1980 wrote: »Yeah exactly, that's for the entire tin. If you're eating an entire tin of Roses you've got bigger problems!
I got a tip from my leader on how to manage the tins of sweets.....keep a hold of the wrappers of what you eat as that way you can keep track of how many you eat.That doesn't strike me as a great thing for the leader to be saying, the more I think of it?
I lost 5lb over the break last time I did Weight watchers. Going up 13lb is ridiculous i.m.o, you'd have to eat all around you for that, and I imagine be in a pretty bad place mentally to undo your hard work like that? As someone said in a previous post, if you ate that much I think you have bigger problems than weight!
I lost 5lbs over Christmas as well the last time I did WW however trust me it can be very easy to gain 13lbs over three weeks especially during Christmas. And you're right most people do tend to have bigger problems than weight hence why you're overweight in the first place. You don't gain weight for no reason, it can be stress, emotional eating, time, relationship/family problems etc. I gained 10lbs in 2/3 weeks from eating crap but I also gained 2.5lbs when I followed the programme to perfection, so gains can happen and sometimes there is no explanation for it. With Christmas weight, a lot of it is probably water retention from all the high sodium foods consumed.x Purple Pawprints x wrote: »I was thinking of getting back to the C25k myself actually.

I had got to the end of week 5 about 3 weeks ago and I haven't done it since. Trying to motivate myself to get going again. I think I'm going to start from week 3 as I don't think I'll need to go from the very beginning. You could do one day week one, one day week 2 and keep progressing as you feel fit?0 -
Sorry for the long posts, I just hit reply as I was going though them I was tempted to give up today but when I stepped on the scales I was down so that motivated me to keep going!
There was a few people asking about Christmas and how to handle it. When I did WW last time my leader gave me some great tips. First of all we had to write in a Christmas card what our ideal weight would be at the first weigh in back after the Christmas. So for example you could put down 3lbs gain, maintain or 3lbs loss. I put down 5lbs loss and low and behold I lost 5lbs! Secondly she told us to pick 3 days that we would take off from WW. For me those were 25th, 26th and NYE. The rest of the days you had to point as normal and stick to plan. That was before weeklies so it was tough! This year I am following that plan. I am setting my target as 5lbs loss. I am taking 22nd (day after 12 pubs!), 25th and 26th off. I am sticking to dailies every other day and then using weeklies for NYE but still within points. I am also off work so going to make a big push with exercise. I have spent the best part of the year enjoying food and its time to get real!0 -

I'm hoping that by setting a target for the first weigh in back that it will keep me motivated!0 -
I suppose I'm going to have to wait til next week til I find out if I'm switching to maintenance(eeeh!!! ) before I come up with my plan. At the moment it looks like I'll just watch the choc, and deserts and go for a run in the afternoons to get those points back! I'll need to start pointing our Christmas treats soon before I go home! Cream is always on everything! *rolls eyes* 0

Oh I am absolutely delighted with my -9.5lb, don't get me wrong! I just meant the only as in I've worked so hard to lose that, and to think you could gain that and more over the Christmas period if were not mindful of intake...eek! I find that a bit scary, really.
Heat wave, you are my goal weight!! :-D I have about 4 Stone to go until I reach it!
I was 12.5 stone when I started, which was only a few months ago. So you will get there too 'metime'!
You're right it is scary. Even though I'm at goal I'm constantly struggling to maintain because I've a serious sweet tooth! Every week I find myself having to choose between a night out with friends, or have a chinese! It's either or I find, I can't have both. Otherwise I will definitely be up!
Weight loss - it's a constant battle! I noticed someone say they're not going to point Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day. That's what I am going to do too. After all it's only 4 days out of 365!0 -
