I had a total blowout last weekend as I was away for four days. Throughout those days I seemed to lose complete control of my eating. I ordered a dessert everywhere we went (sometimes it added up to 3 slices of cake per day), burgers and fries for dinner etc., however I managed to avoid alcohol somehow. I felt terrible when I arrived home as I felt like a balloon. I genuinely think I put on 4/5 lbs during those 4 days.
So since Monday I have been back on track and sticking to my points each day. My WI is on Monday and I am praying to STS although I don't even think this is possible? I amn't touching my 49 weeklies this week as a result of last week's bingefest

Hi all, atrocious week for me here. Started with a Chinese takeaway and downhill from there. There has been a box of after 8s a couple of fudge bars, general just being over my points every day, late night toast and jam, then to top it off last night I ordered four star pizza. Few other hiccups during the week - nothing dreadful other than the two takeaways (still smaller than previously woujkd have had), but there was also 2 cans fizzy drinks, a couple of biscuits, very poor tracking and some cinema popcorn and jellies. The four star was a 7" but got the feckin glaarlic pizza bread too, killer. I've missed all ww classes I can get to except one which I'd need to leave for in the next few minutes. I am very tempted not to go I as I dno t want to be told I put on weight lol. Dunno what happened this week. Better leggit for bus anyway Fingers crossed for a miracle.
Getting re inspired by the weight loss updates from revisiting here- I think I will get bk on track after tonight's meeting, it is so worth it, can't do that to myself esp as was doing so well!!!
Go it will be much harder to get back on track if you don't! It may not be as bad as you think

Do you weigh in at home? Just checking because all Weight Watcher classes finished up this week just in case you didn't realise. We all have weeks like that and the 4/5lbs gain is most likely water weight. Start by taking it a day at a time. Get up tomorrow in a positive mood and set out to be good. You will be less likely to cave if you do this. Plan out your meals up until Tuesday and try and stick to it. Beating yourself up over it won't change the past just keep working towards the end goal 0 -

If I had got here in time I would have told you to half the chinese and have the rest during the week using your dailies so you wouldn't be over your weekly points! But not to worry, what's done is done and you are aware of it.
Would you try a filling and healthy day to get back on track and not use as many points? Fill up on as much low/zero pp items as you can so you'll feel full and satisfied (and very healthy!), and give the pp-heavy items a miss for a few days.
Thank you :-) I ateded it all. Lol. And had a leftover spring roll for breakfast, #noshame #gack #durteh. . Have yet to try a filling and healthy day, actually - I will need to root out the book. I like the idea if that a lot - pointing the crap stuff rather than everything seems easier too, especially since my fruit and veg intake has skyrocketed!
Hmm, I have heard at meetings it being said that it will be mostly filling and healthy in the new year- has anyone got more info on that?0 -

Honestly though what kind of results have people seen? Would I have to join a gym to get any good out of it or would a walk/run outside be sufficient?
Oh also is it possible to change between meetings? I'll be living in Galway for the first half of Jan and then moving to Westmeath for work so is it possible to join in one county but then continue classes in another?
I would say if you are even thinking about it just go for it, I dilly dallied about it in mY head for months before signing up in mid November. I have since lost over 11pounds I think and am just raging I didn't start sooner!! It is very good to keep you in the mind frame, going every week. I say go for it, make the wedding your goal, give yourself the best present possible this Christmas and make the decision to become the you you know you are on the outside...then show everyone at the wedding ;-)
We'll all be here to cheer you along too! For example,
If you start Jan, and wedding is in sep, and u stick to it and lose 1lb average per week - that is a massive loss by sep! 36lbs, nearly 3 stone. If you add exercise to that you might even lose more, and add a sexy goal dress to that there'll be no stopping ya!! Best of luck with it anyway let us know if hya have any questions.
I have around 4 more stone to lose mysekf :-)0 -

Our leader said there will be new books and a menu plan in January. I was a bit nervous when I heard that so I asked if the points for foods will be changing, and she said they won't. She didn't explain anything to us in detail, but she said there will be a filling and healthy meal plan for newcomers because the pp system can be hard for them to grasp at first (I agree), then as people become more confident they can "branch out" and point items as we do now.
I just hope we'll still have the choice to use our daily points as normal!
BTW... Steer clear of Caffrey's teacakes! They are 2 pp each which I thought was great compared to Tunnock's which are 3pp... but it turns out they are TINY and contain cocaine or some other addictive substance (very yummy). :mad:
Well done on the losses everyone! 0 -

Hi Duffy
I attend the classes. Our leader has arranged for a WI on Monday. There won't be a class though, just the WI
I've been eating very well since Monday, porridge or eggs in the mornings, meat/salad for lunch, and omelettes/soup/stir-fries for dinner with fruit as my snack in between meals.
It's amazing how much weight you can put on in 4 days! Dreading Monday!0 -
Well done honeygirl, you're doing great!
I love hearing about your losses because you always have such a positive attitude and it's great to know it pays off
Aw thanks very much for saying that, you are so nice:) I think my weight loss has slowed down an awful lot lately but maybe thats because I am down to the last stone and they say that comes off slower. You seem to be motoring along and doing brilliantly.... Maybe we can all motivate each other over the christmas holidays.:)0 -

Oh really that's so good of your leader. Where's your class? Is she just doing it for her members or could an outsider go? I could really use a weigh in next week as if the last two days are anything to go by then the next 2 weeks are going to be tough!My leader was talking about the new plan yesterday and I am a bit worried about it too.. Ah sure like everything else I suppose we will get used to it:)
Its called Simple Start. It is basically filling and healthy but with a few twists. If you type into Google 'weight watchers simple start slice of slim' and click the Hot off the press link, it will give you an explanation of it. Propoints will still exist. New members will start with the Simple Start plan and then switch to propoints later if they wish. Current members can choose which plan they follow. My leader said she did it for 10 days and lost 3lbs so I'm looking forward to it!0 -

Well done on the loss so far Tiger! Sounds like you have loads of motivation going in to the break. Keep it up.
1 medium roast potato (85g) is 4 points
2 slices of turkey (60g) is 3pp
1 slice of ham (35g) is 1pp
1 teaspoon of gravy granules is 1pp
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the heads up about that blog Duffy. That has definitely set my mind at ease. Nobody likes forced change, so at least we'll have a choice!0 -

I love peppermint tea but I also love roasted butternut squash esp with a sunday roast.
I have my christmas dinner all worked out, I thought this was great for if your cooking your self like I am http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=4&art_id=210031
but saw a great recipe for mash potatoes that looks tasty and may save on pp just use low fat creme fachie instead of butter and milk http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/garlic-herb-mash
hoping to get out for a good walk christmas eve, get the kids nice and tired and a good healthy walk 0 -
