Hi .... am also doing WW - again !!! Very annoyingly lost 27lbs last year with them on Points, but had been hoping to lose 3.5 stone in total (post baby) and it all sort of fell by the wayside when we had a lot of stress and hassle moving house. Poor excuse I know ....
... Anyhow, am back on "the wagon" for the past 12 days. Next meeting on Weds. This time, & so far, am doing the No Points thing, or whatever it's properly called. Not completely easy - no diet ever is - but not too dreadful so far, especially since discovering how to make fat free "saute" potatoes (can't live without chips, very sad I know).
I joined the meeting and told everyone I didn't want to know how much I weighed. All I was interested in was the weekly weight loss - and when I got to a point that my body felt better, my clothes were loosening etc., then I'd weigh myself. I just didn't want the psychological impact of knowing what I was up aginst weight-wise, especially since losing such a lot last year.
Anyhow, they all agreed that was fine, telling me to "look away" at weigh-in, but then the silly weighing woman wrote my weight in the card (I just wanted them to record it at their end) which of course I'd see.
In my 1st week I lost 3lbs, but I was also devastated to find that of the 27lbs lost previously, I've now put on all but 4lbs of it back !!! So, all my pleading was to no avail, and the "journey" I'm on now seems - psychologically - worse than ever. Had I not known, I believe I would have felt happier doing it in "ignorant bliss" mode. Gggrrrrrrr .....
Now I know, I have another 40 wretched lbs to go to get to the weight I'd really like to be - and always used to be until the last couple of years. Keep telling myself to think of all the nice clothes I'll be able to get back into ....
Reckon that's probably 5 months of "being sensible" then. Just hope what they say is true, and that by the end, my bad old habits will have been replaced by good ones, without me really thinking about it.
