WW 2014 support/b*tch thread

[beachavendrea]

Is there one of these already? I started WW online the day after Boxing Day which was the best or the worst idea I've ever had. I can't decide.
I have a lot of weight to loose and am finding it hard to get motivated, i have been sticking to my points, so thought I would start a support thread!

I always did my own version of WW. I didn't eat avocados but not for any particular reason. They are lovely. Especially in a salad with chicken. The latest research is saying fat isn't the issue as long as its the healthy stuff but sugar is the problem.

Afternoon all. Well here I am again, 3 years on after losing 2st on WW, with the same 2st to lose!

In the meantime I have had DD, and managed to lose the other baby weight (I put on a LOT!). However that 2st is back and hanging around like a groupie at a stage door.

So, this is IT! I have rejoined WW online and have been gearing up for weeks to get back on it. I find it particularly hard to diet at the moment, and would really appreciate some success stories...

I'm gonna need all the good luck vibes in the world this weekend! I am half a pound away from goal, and my hen weekend starts in an hour. I think I might keel over from shock if I make it at monday weigh in!

Have a fun hen party. Enjoy and don't point it.

When is the wedding?

flaming read the thread especially by super as she has lots loads of weight.

Hi folks. I'm just starting this week for te very good reason that my mum has advanced cancer, and though her lifestyle has always been low risk she wants me and my DBs to do all we can to give ourselves a fighting chance should it pick one of us in future. So I have nearly 4st to lose altogether, which seems insurmountable but would take me to the middle of my healthy BMI. I'd like to do it for my DB's wedding in early May in the hope that DM is still coping and so that I can wear the gorgeous Bastyan dress she wore to my wedding.

I've been working up to 5k runs and can now do it. I've loved running in the past and it's also great therapy when things get tough emotionally. I also spin sometimes and plan to do two runs and a spin as a minimum. I've also done a barre DVD this morning.

Here goes.

Good luck Lapsed, so sorry to hear about your mum and sending you all the luck and encouragement in the world. Hope it goes well for you.

Wedding is in just under 6 weeks, am terrified just writing that as there's so much to do. To be honest, I should probably get cracking on it but after last night, im struggling to even speak!

You can do it Lapsed.

6 weeks is ages Super. My wedding photographer cancelled us in the week of the wedding the bitch but we managed to sort that in a week. I reckon you can plan a wedding in 6 weeks runs and hides.

Trainers how's it going? Ordered lots of those mojitos lollies on my Ocado order or should that be gin.

It's about 6 weeks to go, so I'm in headless chicken mode. Photographer better not cancel, she's one of my oldest friends and its saving me a lot of money!

I did it! GOAL!

Whoop!!!!!!!!! Well done you.

Ooh, congratulations Super. That's so inspiring!

I have somehow lost 3lbs in my first week. Don't quite know how as I haven't yet really started pointing. Eating is quite erratic through stress at the moment though. Also I did kettlebells yesterday and a 3.5lb run this morning before weighing in

3.5 miles, not lbs, obviously. Weight obsessed!

Also forgot to mention that I'm setting myself a 1.5lb/week target so have a head start this week.

I don't think I'm at goal anymore! A quick peek at the scales the other day tells me that the hen weekend's gratuitous eating has caught up with me, but I am trying not to be bothered. I would have been miserable trying to point my way through the weekend, and I know that I can lose it again. My body seems to gravitate to being 10 stone 4, thats what I seem to end up at every time I take a break from tracking, and its not a bad weight to be but it is 2lb over goal and 1lb over a healthy BMI. I think that post wedding/honeymoon i'll prob have about half a stone to lose, so I'll aim to get rid of that and then maybe try and get under 10 stone, so I have a little bit of a buffer.

Posted it on another thread but this is my before and after pic if anyone else wants to see.

You look really fabulous. Your hair looks great too. I need to work out how to be more groomed!

Hello! I'm back on WW for the god knows how many time. I'm on holiday at the moment but rejoining on saturday

Well Lapsed, its called the 'getting married very soon, panic and spend a lot of time at the hairdresser' approach! still looks crap 9 times out of 10 too!

super wow you look amazing.

Eek, was not expecting this! Went to pick up my wedding dress last night and its waaaay too big. Massive. So I didn't get to take it home with me! I seem to have kept losing despite maintenance points and I'm now around 8lb lighter then when it got fitted. Somehow with all this racing around etc, it's still coming off. So now I need to maintain my current weight for 3 more weeks. Hard cos my mind set has been 'you need to lose weight' for basically my entire adult life!

Well done you! Passes cake and wine

Super I am not sure if you have got married yet. If not good luck. If you have congratulations.

I have, thank you! It was amazing. As was the honeymoon - I put on over a stone in 2 weeks. I think I deserved it tho, I worked so bloody hard to lose that weight and I didn't want to have to try and be sensible on honeymoon. I also unfortunately had a miscarriage 2 weeks before the wedding - found out on the Mon and by the Saturday I was in the EPU and it was all over. So I think that took it's toll on my body. Anyway I'm back on it and I've lost 10lb in 3 weeks, only 5 more to go! How is everyone else doing?

Sounds like a complete emotional roller coaster. Congratulations.

I am not following ww anymore but am managing to maintain. Am exercising lots though.

Just checking back in after a while. Got my 50lbs certificate last week and have lost 52lbs in total since I first same on this thread!

Well done to all those here and congrats on your wedding super!!!

Hello can I join?

I went back to weight watchers after having dd2 and did really well. Quickly lost 1.5stones and felt great. For the past 4/5 months I have messed around - gaining, losing and now finally gaining.

I go back tomorrow after missing 3 weeks and I know I have gained a lot of weight. My clothes are tight and I feel awful.

Dh isn't being helpful, saying I don't have a healthy attitude to food, he says I talk about being good and bad and that's not how I should view it. Mil pipes up that she wouldn't go if she knew she had gained. They have both been giving me helpful suggestions tonight on how to lose weight and it's made me feel so upset.

Anyway I know how to lose weight, don't we all? There is no big secret, it's just getting motivated to do it.

I need to stop this cycle. I need to stop eating crap. I need to to cut out refined sugar completely from my diet because when I eat it, I just want more.

Feeling very low about myself tonight. I know if I get back on track after weigh in tomorrow night I could get a stone off by mid December. It's just focusing that I am finding hard.
