I started on Monday (cliche) I have about 4 bloody stone to lose but at least I have started....

It is very quiet in here and it would be nice to have some company going through this. I have got a stinky cold at the minute so am off work which has made it tricky but I am sticking to the plan .

I have downloaded the app and am doing it that way rather than into an actual meeting. Hoping this is not just an expensive fitness pal....

I am also realising that I am having to cut down on the booze as well which is annoying.

Anyone out there want to join me ?

I started on Wednesday. I will join you.

Timetobuckup · 06/11/2021 15:27

Well hello there !
I had given up hope Grin
How are you finding it ?

It's going fine. I am getting used to counting my points and logging everything. How is it going with you?

Timetobuckup · 07/11/2021 10:16

I am actually ok , but the first week of a diet is generally the good week isn't it ?

The extra weeklies seem a lot to me, I do think if I ate all of them I would never lose weight.

What are your tricky points ? Mine are snacking and booze. Especially when paired together.

I struggle with snacking after booze too. I used some of my weeklies for wine on Friday but I am trying to drink less overall as it leads to me making poor food choices.

I'm on WW Green plan. I've been doing really well on it. List a total of 18lb so far. Still a lot to go though as I've still got 10st to lose.

Timetobuckup · 07/11/2021 12:14

@HerRoyalWitchyness That is my plan as well, that is a great loss!

@ApolloandDaphne that is my problem, once I have a couple of drinks I want all the snacks

I am a bit miffed that I have just started and apparently they are changing it all tomorrow.

HerRoyalWitchyness · 07/11/2021 12:16

Yeah there's a lot of speculation about what will be different but we'll see. As long as I can still eat my fruit ill be happy as I tend to fill up on fruit through the day

Timetobuckup · 07/11/2021 12:28

I agree about the fruit. However I also think if this has worked for you so far then carry on with that

I am, but have been off plan the last couple of weeks. (Various stresses, illness etc). Going back on tomorrow and giving it a really good go between now and Christmas.
Looking forward to the new plan, I’m vegan and it looks like it might be more vegan friendly than the current one.
I’m doing the virtual workshops, which I enjoy, but I can’t attend one of my usual coach any more since they shook up the schedule and I’m struggling to find one I like as much!

Timetobuckup · 07/11/2021 18:37

@Banani we can all start together again tomorrow.

Would be good to have the company

I have updated my app and I can't see anything has changed unless I am missing something.
I have lost 2 pounds this week which is OK but for the first week I was hoping for more.

I'm on Purple. Have been doing it badly for 6 months but need to get more in the flow. I'm just rubbish at keeping it up whenever my routine changes. Was fine when fully wfh but now I'm back in the office some days and different ones each week. I also had a nice gym routine which going back has messed up!!

HerRoyalWitchyness · 08/11/2021 08:09

I logged in this morning and it sorted a new quiz for me. I answered all the questions and it's given me more free foods (eggs, oats and chicken breast) and kept my fruit free. My daily points have gone down but with more free food that shouldn't be an issue.

Timetobuckup · 08/11/2021 08:13

I am so frustrated that my app isn't giving me the questionnaire. Hopefully it will work its magic today at some point

OP posts:
HerRoyalWitchyness · 08/11/2021 08:14

Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling the app? It's worth a go.

ApolloandDaphne · 08/11/2021 09:08

I got the questionnaire but I don't have my new free foods list.

Banani · 08/11/2021 09:11

I got my questionnaire this morning, pleased with the changes. Have fewer points but tofu/tempeh and beans/lentils are free, as well as the usual veggies so it gives me more to play with really as I won’t need to count all my protein sources as before.
I bought a dress yesterday in a size ten. The sort of dress I’ve always dreamed of wearing but can’t, it’s my aim for this time next year!

ApolloandDaphne · 08/11/2021 10:02

Have you all got your update list of free foods in the app? I still have my old one. I should have potatoes and avocado on it now but they aren't there.

HerRoyalWitchyness · 08/11/2021 10:36

@ApolloandDaphne when you go to your free foods swipe across and it should come up with what you have free

LimpLettice · 08/11/2021 10:50

I've been doing it since May and lost about 11kg. I'd like to lose another 6. Been on green plan but a little naughty recently. BF but not exclusively, which I find makes the points a pain as sometimes DS is super hungry and so am I!

New free foods exciting me though. Eggs and potatoes being the big thing. Looking forward to a big jacket potato lunch as the weather has turned and salad lunches haven't been quite cutting it. Also not having to weight oats or chicken and fish is helpful. I'd like a busier thread too!

ApolloandDaphne · 08/11/2021 10:54

I'm doing that but it is just the same as the old list. It hasn't updated.

HerRoyalWitchyness · 08/11/2021 11:01

How strange. I've no idea then, you'd think it would update after you'd done the questionnaire.

ApolloandDaphne · 08/11/2021 11:10

@HerRoyalWitchyness Has yours updated on the app?

HerRoyalWitchyness · 08/11/2021 11:17

Yeah, mine updated straight away
