Thread: Diary of.... a flutterby!.... WI 1

Hi Nettie

You need to eat your points or at least only 4 points under for WW to work. It sounds strange but its true. As puggso says its very important to get it planned out and written down especially at the beginning. I know when you're busy it can be a right pain but just think of it as a necessary evil until it comes as secomd nature to you. Breakfast is also difficult if you don't normally have it but it is another thing that is an essential part of kick starting your metabolism for the day.

Good luck I'm sure you'll do just great

yesterday i had:
2 eggs scrambled (3)
mini chedders (3)
i made the sausage casserole out of the free mag we get at the group and i didnt like it so i only ate about 2 mouthfuls... had some toast instead and a packet of ww crisps so that was (4)
a ww toffee yoghurt (0.5)
milk allowance (2)
another packet of ww crisp things (1)
ww rasberry and chocolate biscuits with a cuppa tea (1.5)
and that was it! im doing so bad!
i havent eaten yet today but ive had a cup of tea, my little girl is ill so shes been cuddled up with me and i had to get my little boy ready for his dads. were going to my dads soon so im going to make some bacon, egg, beans, tomatoes and mushrooms to try and use some points up and were having potatoes, veg and i dunno maybe pie or something for tea to get my points up. why am i finding it so damn hard when everyone here seems to be doing so well???? aarggghhhh

...but why did you just remember? Wasn't it written down?

That is why I labour the whole 'track' thing (I know I must sound like a leader or something but it works) to others. If you don't have the tracker with you - ie I never take mine out the house - put what you have had in a note on your mobile, or if your phone doesn't have that then do it as a saved unsent text.

A large banana will be 1.5 points too.

Hello hun...totally agree with Puggso here. Write everything down as it helps you keep track easily.

Its hard to get your head around the whole eating to lose theory.
My dad goes to weight watchers meeting and he was over 20 stone and was struggling to eat his points. He had big losses until he ended up dropping points and then was eating his full allowance and ended up putting on a couple of weeks.

Even if it means eating a chocolate bar or a couple of packets of regular crisps you need to eat all your points for it to work every week.

You can save 4 each day so why not save 4 and treat yourself to something like a chinese after your weigh in.

You can do it hun...it just feels a little scary sometimes when its so new.

Good luck xxx

i did write it all down but put it on here from from what i remembered but knew id missed something so checked my tracker.
ive had a bacon butty at my dads but i dont know what to point it as... can anyone help me please?
i had 3 slices of bacon, grilled and no fat, 2 slices of white bread and 2 teaspoons of clover... which im sure was very high?? thanks for all your help everyone x

I'd have a guess at this;

Each slice of bacon - 1 = 3
Each slice of bread - 1.5 = 3
Clover - 1

So 7

I know the bread as I had ran out of WW bread the other night and checked our white bread...and quickly decided to go without bread.

thanks so much for that, so atleast thats 7 points gone... problem was i was sooo stuffed from that that i havent eaten anything else other than a packet of crisps which were normal crisps and quite high at 3.5. im going to have pork loin steaks for tea cooked in oxo and mint sauce, with potatoes and veg. and ive got some ww biccies for later x

omgness im sooo stuffed! just had boiled potatoes and pork loin steaks cooked in oxo, mint sauce, mushrooms and onions. i feel like im going to pop!
hope everyone has had a good day x

If you're having problems with getting your points in and can't/don't want to eat any more then add things like butter and oil when you're cooking.. won't make a difference to how full you are but will add a lot of points.

im actually quite fussy and dont like oil etc in my food that i fry or roast etc... goodness knows how im so fat i tell ya! lol
think ill have to have a big take away for tea tomorrow hehe

good morning lovelys! well ive kind of got my day planned today food wise. i dont work on monday so usually go shopping but i have to wait in for some parcels to be delivered. ive got 16 points left over from the last 3 days so today im going to try and catch up with that seen as ive got time to eat lol.
so today im having toast for breakie, just chopped up some apples and pineapple to munch on through the day. got some ww yoghurts in and some mini chedders. not sure what im having for lunch today... maybe some noodles. then for tea were having pie and oven chips with veg. after ive counted all those points ill see whats left over and think ill have some biccies dipped in my cuppa tea when the kids have gone to bed.
anyone doing anything nice today? x

today ive had 3 pieces of wholemeal toast with flora light
ww crisps
portion size of oven chips and some gravy

today ive managed to eat all my points, i feel bloated and stuffed and ive eaten when im not even hungry just to get the points in, hope next week is better coz i feel so flippin grumpy right now.
hope everyones doing well x
