Thread: I know I shouldn't have BUT............

I hopped on the scales this morning........AND..............I have lost 2lbs ALREADY!!!

In 36 hours!!!

I know its probably only water and I should wait till weigh in day, but crikey, what an incentive to keep going!!!

Oh and yes, I am a "Serial Scale Hopper" A shaming admission I know!!!

Woo Hoo!!! The week just got a whole lot BETTER!!!!

Oh and todays menu looked very much like this:

2 Toast and bovril (2)
Two apples (1)
Miss J's Mixture (0)
Ham / boiled egg / boiled potato (6.5)
Salad & balsamic vinegar (0)
x 4 Wine (8)
Total = 17.5

Thats a lot of wine!

Ummm, is it a lot of wine???? Oooops!!!! We are living abroad so we are 3 hours ahead of you..........does that make it any better....... Its a special time at the mo with lots of friends and family visiting so managing food and alcohol is a bit tricky........will change when we are back on our own!!!! Promise!!! x x

Well done for pointing the wine remember you'll get hungry if you use points on wine alot x

Enjoy your time with friends!!

4 Glasses isnt that much

Just enjoy your time with friends, I also hop on the scales at any moment, usually once a day! ...

I think i might get my OH to hide them this week so i can have a suprise at weigh in! instead of knowing before I go ...

Todays menu is looking much like all the others!!!

x 2 toast and bovril (2)
x 2 apples (1)
Miss Justinas mixture (0)
Crumpet and Jam/peanut butter mix (teaspoon) (2)
Chicken (2.5)
Home made wedgies (4)
Salad / balsamic vinegar (0)
x 1 miller light beer (1.5)
TOTAL: 13...........................Not good, I am sure I read somewhere I need to eat 16 a day minimum if I am on 22 points? Dont want to snack too much as its one of my down falls - any suggestions? I thought maybe a highlights hot choc before bed and another crumpet with Jam? Anyone got any healthier options???

Thanks in advance guys!!! x x Hope you've all had a fab day!!! Said good bye to our friends and family today but have our early xmas holiday to look forward to so we are not too down!!! Been super good and done lots of cleaning and houseworking and ironing!! Exhausted now..............early night me-thinks!!! x x x x

Oooh another serial scale hopper!! Fab!! What a good idea!! I shall see if hubby is prepared to hide our scales............I wonder if he is that brave !!! x x

oh you do know that if 1 slice of bread is 1pt then 2 slices are 2.5? sorry its just WW round down instead of up so most things when doubled are 0.5 extra

Eeek!!! No I didnt know that!! THANK YOU!!! ) I dont think I've done too much damage .........................yet!!!! Crikey!!! x x

Uh, oh, just thought - does that count with fruit portions as well? If I eat two apples in a sitting should I add another half a point? Sorry if its a daft question but I'm really trying to do it right this time - thank you for the tips already!! x x

i thought apples were one point each ?

I havent got my book on me at them moment to check but i will look later for you ...

I MAY BE WRONG THOUGH!

I just checked the net to get a quick answer for you and i found that one apple is 1 point

so your 2 apples would be 2 points
