congrats on the 3lb loss! that's pretty blummin good!! and also well done on choosing the gym instead of anything else - you've really got your head in the right place for this!! well done babe! xx
Hey thanks everyone for the encouragement! You will all have to keep in touch and let me know how your diets are going lol.
This week has been pretty good! Some days I find it hard to eat all my points and save a lot and then other days I use them up easy! lol
I've got myself down to the gym every day this week so far and am starting to find it's giving me a right energy boost! It's hard to start with but when I get going I love the adrenaline rush!
Also, took pictures of myself after my weigh-in on Tuesday night so hopefully in 8 weeks time I can see a bit of difference! I'm soo excited! lol
How is everyone getting on?

I am on ww and do a lot of exercise. I started last halloween and from then until now my loss averages about 2.5-3lbs a week. And that is over a long period so covers xmas, easter etc. So most weeks I lose about 3lbs.
In my experience, if you exercise a lot you do lose it faster, though from Starlights post I guess everyone is different. I never eat my exercise points. But as Starlight says - not eating enough points over the week is setting yourself up for failure - your body will panic and hold on to the fat, besides if you let yourself get hungry you won't stick at it. I don't always eat my full points but thats because I am shocking for nibbling at my hubby/kids food so I like to leave a point or 2 to cover that. This is working for me but everyone is different, and if I plateaued for a few weeks I would definitely look at eating some of my exercise points to see if it helped. I think if you eat way under your points you tend to gain as soon as you eat a little more. For example I was ill last December and lost 8lbs that week. The following week I was really good and thats when I joined the gym, yet I gained 3lbs. Loads of the weight I lost the week before came back on as I lost it through not eating.
I do at least 3 spin classes each week plus 1 or 2 sessions in the gym. I also walk the dog every day, jog a couple of times a week and run after my 2 small children every day.
I absolutely love exercise and believe I will continue it longterm. However, I return to my office job in Sept after a year of maternity leave, so for 3 days a week will be much less active than I am now - this worries me a lot!!!!
Anyway, I just want to say in my opinion theres no restrictions on what you can lose each week, and in my experience ww can really deliver good results. Like you, I didn't fancy meal replacement diets, I need my treats lol - which is why ww works so well for me.
I wish you huge amounts of luck

Well done girly!
I hope I will be able to say the same to my man David in a few months lol
Have you ever tried or know anyone that's tried Alli weight loss tablets? I'm seriously considering trying them to help me lose that extra pound a week! I know there can be really bad side effects though so am not sure! lol

Hi Nicola,
I think you are doing absolutely amazing and are an inspiration with the amount of weight you have lost through weight watchers and exercising.
I done weight watchers last year and lost near enough 3 stone so I know that I can do it and stick to it! I am taking it week by week and have my second weigh in on Tuesday so fingers crossed!
Like you I love to exercise too and love going to the gym! I used to hate just even walking but have gave it a chance and have realised that I get a huge boost when I exercise.
Good luck on losing more and don't let going back to work stress you, stay positive and I'm sure you can do it!
