I drink between 1.5 litres and 3 litres of water mixed with no added sugar squash a day, my exercise various from week to week, when my weight loss slows down i will change it, I have 3 different exercise dvds that i use, their called 10 min solutions Latin dancing, 10 min solutions carb and calorie burner and 10 min solutions fat burning dancing. Each dvd has 5 sets of 10 min exercises on it and you can change the exercises everyday so you don't get bored, there fun and you work up a sweat and they were cheap on the internet they were around 5 euro each in December, and i also do walking. I do between 3 to 5 days of exercise a week from 30 to 50 mins depending how I feel, I try to stick to my points everyday but there is some days, that I might eat 3 points less a day as I do be to full, not everyday, it might be one day on week and 2 days the next week, i don't starve myself, I allow myself anything I want to as long as it is in my daily points, Since I have started the diet I have never gone over my points, but I still have my few alco. drinks going out and the odd Chinese, but it is all worked into my points. I didn't break the diet over Christmas, but I still had Christmas dinner, and my goodies and I didn't miss out and I lost 6lbs over Christmas, my weight loss changes from week to week I can lose anywhere from 4lbs to sts. I use to eat a lot of bread everyday but I cut down on it and eat it every second day and it has helped me lose weight quicker over the last month. Since I have started the diet I have tracked my food every single day even over Christmas, as my leader in Weight Watchers says "if you bite it write it" and this helps me. I try to vary my diet as much as possible, and I take it one day at a time. hope this helps, and if anybody needs any help just ask.
