Velma aims for Va-Va Voom!

[joyofanonymity]

Hiya all, Velma here! (not my real name but everyone calls me it!)

I've done the old Weight Watchers before and managed to let the weight creep back on. Now at the heaviest I've been, I thought it's time to get back into the WW way of life and really get working on my health. I'm my mum's chief bridesmaid in 8 months so I have that dress to slim for - and the hen night to think about - so I'm really in it for the long haul this year.

Trying to remind myself that the weight took a while to go on, and so it'll take a wee while to come off again so it's a game of patience (I'm *not* a patient person)

Hoping that keeping a diary here - of food, weight loss and anything else which crops up will keep me motivated! I'll catch up on the past couple of days as I started on Wednesday

Not an amazing day of food choices today but the risotto was a WW recipe and was awesome, so I'm pretty happy with that. I'm so used to the old WW values and not going over my allocated dailies that no matter what I do, I feel like I'm doing something wrong by going in to my weeklies. Hoping that mind frame changes

I liked your diary
I'm always so concerned about using all my points, letting apart my weekly points. It has been making my diet too hard, so this week I decided to relax a bit and use my points!
I'm going to follow you for some tips.

Hi Velma, I'm following along. Your diary looks good so far. reading your introduction, I could have written that myself. Lost weight with 'old' WW - check. Put it back on - check. Know it will take time to lose it again - check. Not happy about that fact at all - check!

Good luck on your journey

Aw thank you so much - I've let my food diary slip a bit on here but I'll backdate it shortly. Been a TOUGH week for me but trying to keep on track as much as I can I was the same with using all my daily points - getting in to the mindframe that weeklies are there to be used has been a bit weird to get used to...x

It was on a Wednesday but I had a horrible blow out last Thursday (too much wine, followed by drunk chips! Gah!) so my leader moved me to a Friday so I could have a fresh start how about you?

Hiya Wilma - thanks so much it's tough coming back to it but sounds like we both have our heads in the game this time. Do you have a diary? we seem to have similar stats too (well you're further down the road than I am - well done!) x

 

[joyofanonymity]

Hey all
So I had a horrible blowout last Thursday consisting of 6 large glasses of wine, chips on the way home and then a bagel when I got in – not good. Because of that, I had a crisis meeting with my leader on the Friday and she decided we should reset my weigh-in day to Friday and start afresh with my plan from that day. So I’m calling that day Day One (again!)

We headed down to Manchester from Glasgow today, to see Elbow play at the O2 Apollo – but although I tried to pre-pack lunch for myself, I took some kind of sickness bug on the way down so wasn’t feeling amazing – and then made bad choices. Bums.

After the gig last night (where I only drank water, go me!) I was still feeling a bit ropey but went for a long walk in the afternoon when we got back. Although I had some (quite a lot!) of wine, I’m okay with what I had and I’m trying to not let myself get downhearted about it. This is a marathon, and not a sprint after all…

Looking good sorry you lost it a little bit, but glad your WW leader was able to help you back on track. Good luck for this week's WI.

Oh, and yes I do have a diary. It's called 'WW worked before' and it's on this page.

Thanks - yeah, I slipped a bit but hopefully I can claw something back for WI on Friday *everything crossed* - I've followed your diary now x

Hi Velma!

Just popping in to say I've subscribed to your diary!

Don't let the blip steer you off-course, we're only human and we all make mistakes (I say this after falling off the food and drink wagon a couple of weeks ago! :S)

The key is getting back into it now... YOU CAN DO IT!

Good luck with your weight loss xx

Hey thanks for subscribing! Yeah, trying to just focus on the fact it's just a wee temporary blip and it doesn't give me permission to EAT ALL THE FOOD haha! Do you have a diary? x

 

[Cutie.Patootie]

I know exactly what you mean... I always think "well I've blown it now, I might as well eat the world!"... truth is it never makes you feel any better, and in fact a couple of bad days can be fixed over a week if you get back on it... *I wish I listened to my own advice sometimes! haha*

I actually haven't got one... not entirely sure that anyone would be interested in reading the ramblings/meltdowns of a mad woman! xx
