Weightwatchers 2016

[fireandblood]

Does anyone want to join me?! I need to lose 3 stone hopefully a stone and but in time for March if I can!

I'm already a member of ww online I have the app and just getting used to the new smart points system! Like a refresh think it will be good to do something new again!

Bought a fit bit with xmas money and had it two days love it already! It updates activity points onto the ww app though I won't be eating these.

Hopefully if anyone joins me we can motivate each other

I went out for lunch yesterday and had too much alcohol but still within the weekly points , plus the run gave me some fit point leeway.
I only do online ww and stopped in Feb as the new app was driving me mad and I thought I'd do myfinesspal for free instead- I was pretty good at logging but for some reason neither gained or lost . Started back on on line ww last week and lost 3/4 lb in first week. I wonder if paying makes me more honest ....

I weighed on Saturday, 1.5lbs on. That was over 2 weeks as didn't get to meeting week before. But I've almost totally given up. I'm still having ok meals but I've totally given up on not snacking on crisps. I'm 1.5lb lighter than I was at final dress fitting tho so I'm happy.

Having another rubbish week. Meals are fine, just can't control my sweet tooth at the moment. I have times like this and then at other times I find some self control and manage to limit my chocolate consumption. I sway between hating the way I look and thinking life's too short to deprive myself. Never going to get back into my size 12 Jean's at this rate.

Oh I'm so with you Sparkly. I've had a rubbish week and it's not improving. I've eaten so much chocolate over the weekend and tonight and I just can't stop myself. I am eating WW ready meals with veg and then scoffing chocolate, ice cream, biscuits, crisps all night. I'm so sick of myself. My size 12 jeans are right at the back of my wardrobe and won't be making an appearance any time soon. 😡

I don't think I've been a size 12 since I was 12!

Haven't read the whole thread but can I join you? I need a bit of help! I've joined WW but I'm really not making progress and it's not the diet's fault, it's because I'm not sticking to it! I need to be accountable somewhere. I need to lose 3 stone I think and it seems fairly unachievable. My birthday is towards the end of May and I'm very defeatist - I feel like I won't have lost enough to make any difference by then so what's the point trying. This is a very poor attitude! I'm struggling to shake it though! Can someone please give me a hard kick up the bum - and also any advice! I've become very roly poly and I'm not liking it

Welcome Resurgo There's about 6 weeks to my birthday. I really want to be at target by then - well by the school holidays at the end of May. I reckon if you stick to it you could lose a stone by then, which is a third of the way there... 2 or 3 lbs a week. Are you tracking?

Sparkly - me too, cant fathom why, whether it's to do with hormones, or when I do more running.As well as chocolate, which I always have on hand (!) sometimes I just crave flapjack/or 'posh' museli (which I try not to have in the house). Good thing about WW is you can have a little bit and stay on track. I think this time around I have used the weeklies for booze and meals out, and the weight loss has been slow but the deprivation hasn't been too bad.

Welcome resurgo, hope you find the inspiration and support you need.
miffytastic- my weeklies have long gone unfortunately. I've been on track today but having to really fight the sugar cravings.
poorpaws- what have we let happen? Both worked so hard to get into size 12's. I haven't been on mumsnet long but I've been reading old threads and recognise your name so I know you've been on the weight loss journey for a while too.
Feel like giving up but I know I'd regret it.

Something to keep in mind is The 'every journey starts with a first step ' I was 10lbs heavier in October. I havent lost as much as I could do but I have still lost and kept off 10lbs. If I put myself back in October I would have been dead chuffed with 10lbs. So resurgo don't think too much about 3 St think about how much better you will feel if you lost half a stone and if you don't start now....

Welcome resurgo

Good day for me today - lost 2.5lbs at my weigh in which takes me to 28.5lb total loss since Jan and I am now 10st 10lb which takes me out of the overweight category and back into normal weight!

Now need to think about what my final goal is, I'm thinking around 10st is what I'll aim for but will see how the next few weeks go.

Come on everyone, let's have a good week!

Hi everyone. I've had consistent 2lb losses for the last two weeks, which followed a rather crappy few weeks of eating. So consistently on a downward trajectory and feeling positive overall.

I work from home and it's veerrry hard to not wander into the kitchen! I don't have sweet stuff around but I do have snacks for kids and stuff like that. One thing which has been a godsend is peanut powder. Two tablespoons is one point, you can mix it with water as peanut butter, or turn it into satay sauce. I usually cut fruit up and dip it into this instead of eating biscuits all afternoon.

Bettybye well done on getting into the normal zone! That's basically my goal so nice to hear it's possible :-)

uppity that's really good advice. I've found myself getting frustrated now losses have slowed down but need to focus on what I've done so far and keep going.

Betty well done you for being normal (I'm never normal 😀). That really is fantastic work.

Kicks Resurgo up the bum with a hefty whack! Welcome and get to it immediately and report back

Sparkly I've put the last few days of binges behind me, written them off and today I'm back on track (it's been very difficult). We have to stay positive together and look forward to being size 12 again. No more moaning, we'll just do it.

Once you can join our size 12 club, you'll love it! We'll all work hard together.

I've got a lot of making up to do before my Sunday weighin but let's all give an extra push this week for a good result. God luck to everyone.

Oh and Sparkly don't you dare give up, don't even think about it.

😉

Hi everyone. Well I stayed within points yesterday for the first time in a long time so that's a small victory. Today I have eaten 16 points so far which is more than I'd like to have eaten since dinner is as yet an undecided thing. Need to plan ahead better, I used to be really good at it but I've got very lazy. Weighing tomorrow so if I manage to sts I'll have to consider it success. Well done to all of you with losses to celebrate. I can't really imagine being inside my bmi!

Oh no I've killed the thread! Weigh in this morning Lost 1.5 lbs

Hey well done resurgo that's a great loss! Don't worry, this isn't a very fast moving thread!

I've had a good couple of days food and exercise wise, hoping to sustain it over the weekend. Doing my first park run on Saturday!

Good work Resurgo.

I've been in Marks and Spencer's half the day today looking for clothes. I don't mean to demean people with anorexia at all but I think I'm the opposite to them. Until I scrutinise the mirror I think I am thinner than I actually am. I took loads of skirts, tops, trousers to try on and they all looked awful. Size 14s are too big on the waist and the bottom and size 12 are far too tight especially around my giant tum. The lady in charge in the changing room said I should either gain weight or lose some! I'm trying ffs!

Had a lovely lunch in there so all was not lost and since I bought nothing except "Balanced For You" ready meals I didn't spend much.

Hope you are all having a good week.

Well done Resurgo. Have had a stinking migraine today so haven't weighed .

betty good luck with the park run. I want to try one in a month or so when I'm a bit further along my c25k. Let us know how it goes!

Well done resurgo and hope the migraine is better ken

WI tomorrow for me.

Paws there is clearly something wrong with M and S sizing! 'Tis not you it's them! I do think their sizing is a bit hard to understand and their trouser lengths are a tad random too.
Betty I did Park Run once and I thought the atmosphere at it was great, really friendly and inclusive. Good luck with it!
Im going to do a bit of planning today. Yesterday was a bit nuts. I got to 7 o'clock and hadn't had time for anything since a slice of toast first thing. Had a terribly healthy Chinese takeaway but I reckon the overall points would have been inside limits since I just had so little food. That's how I'm going to count it anyway!
Hope your migraine has eased off Ken

STS... eugh.
Was annoyed this morning but then got over it. Need to just keep going

A combination of being ill+ AF has meant I was down two pounds to 10-2 this morning however I'm off out for fancy meal tomorrow and have had half a pizza tonight so this loss may be short lived!

Lost one lb which is my average but still a loss

Struggling, struggling really struggling.

Uppity - Im always happy with a 1lb loss, it's good.

Miffy - enjoy your fancy meal, you've earned it you've done brilliantly well.

Once - STS better than gaining (to state the obvious) but at least it's ok and i'll be pleased to STS this week (but doubt I will).

Resurgo - thanks I feel better now it's all M an S 's fault 😇

Struggled last night and caved quite badly and today I just want to eat.
