I'm doing weightwatchers and have lost 21lbs in the last 12 weeks. Not as fast as I know I could have, but it's a fair weight loss

Now going on holiday on the 27th and have decided I therefore need to have it rounded down to an even stone on my weight loss for then

So this means blitzing it for the next 3 weeks!

Who's with me in getting down to their next even stone over the next 3 weeks?

hows it going peeps, im due to restart tonight, and im dreading it!!

CatherineofMumbles · 09/09/2014 15:32

can I join in?
need to lose a stone to get into my autumn winter tailored work clothes after a summer of floaty dresses...

CatherineofMumbles · 09/09/2014 15:37

My method is a bit bizarre but has worked for me in the past.
Breakfast = fatty bacon and fried egg. (Then not hungry till lunch).
Lunch = beetroot and cottage cheese, and if at home pile of broccoli with some grated cheese
Dinner = nothing
Other = vodka and slimline tonic with lots of lemon and ice. (seems to keep off the hunger pangs). Cups of tea with full-fat milk
For me the only thing that works is having nothing 'sweet' or any kind of bread or rice or pasta, which just seems to make me want to keep eating.
hardest thing is not to snack on cheese, or drink wine.

Stars66 · 10/09/2014 14:46

Catherine - that is NOT enough food. You need more nutrients.

Anyway, hi all. Have just signed up for online membership. Am 13 stone 11, need to shift my spare tyre. So, I'm in!

AliBingo · 10/09/2014 22:24

I've lost 2.5 this week but still have 5.5lbs to lose to get to thirteen and a half stone by 23rd Sept. Not sure I'll do it. I need to put some serious exercise in! I can't go too low on food or I'll feel tired and grumpy. Anyone got any tips to boost weight loss?

marleymooo · 11/09/2014 22:18

Hi everyone I'd love to join in just signed up online. I'm 11st11 and would love to lose 1/2 stone in 3 weeks. I'm bridesmaid tomorrow 3 weeks!! Ill tackle the rest after that. I've done ww before but need to relearn it all. Plus I've just discovered I get 7 extra pro points for breastfeeding! Are most of you following the pp or the healthy and filling plan?

AliBingo · 11/09/2014 22:36

I'm doing mostly healthy and filling with a bit of 5:2 thrown in.

Weight gain in pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

Stars66 · 13/09/2014 22:02

I am 3 days in and am using pp and am hungry!!!

AliBingo · 13/09/2014 22:18

I found the hunger went after first few days as though my stomach shrank or something, hopefully the same for you.

CatherineofMumbles · 14/09/2014 10:32

(what is pp?)

Count me in.
This week I WILL maje a serious effort to lose the stone I need to lose.

lk26 · 14/09/2014 10:38

Can I join. Am now desperate. Need at least a st off in 6 wks as I am on a cruise and look awful and can't fit in my clothes.
Back to ww meeting on tues for a weigh in. Not been for weeks. Was doing so well. Sob

Stars66 · 14/09/2014 20:24

Roasted butternut squash is my saving grace!

The hunger is going, am now 5 days in and am getting used to counting again (did ww a year ago). Just getting thinking about HOW much I was eating before.

Stars66 · 14/09/2014 20:24

Snack snack snack on fruit!

CatherineofMumbles · 14/09/2014 21:21

Agree about eh butternut squash!. But beware of the sweet potato it is often put with in supermarket pre-prepped veg, avoid sweet potato! ( At least, while cutting cals.)

marleymooo · 15/09/2014 07:43

Thank god it's Monday! I always find the weekend so difficult when counting. Definitely could have been better but would have been a LOT worse if I wasn't trying.

CatherineofMumbles · 15/09/2014 08:11

yy about the weekend! Find it far easier without the family around.

Stars66 · 15/09/2014 21:19

I've not had any wine since thurs! This is def helping the loss but not my mood!!

CatherineofMumbles · 16/09/2014 10:48

fell off the wagon last night and had a bottle glass or two of wine
back on today...

Stars66 · 16/09/2014 15:08

I've just been for a massive swim and then eaten almost my days points

Did my weigh in this morning and although I didn't touch half of the spare points, didn't lose anything

marleymooo · 17/09/2014 17:16

Ah stars that's really disappointing. And that was your 1st week? Had you a big blowout before you started?

Stars66 · 17/09/2014 20:20

Yep first week, no blowout. I did WW last year for 6 months and I remember them sometimes saying it took a week for the weight loss to catch up with you. Even so, I needed some motivation to continue FFS!!
