Calories don't count on a weekend... (I wish.....)

[holiday-dieter]

Hi, here I am with another food diary. Pretty sure I've said this hundreds of times before but I'm definitely going to lose this weight this year! Fed up of being over weight - and want it gone for good! I've previously done mostly SW but have grown so bored with it. I've dabbled with WW but want to give it a proper go... I joined online on Tuesday at 15st 4lbs, and weighed in yesterday at 15st 1, so 4lbs in 4 days I will not enter my 30s fat!!! (3 years to go!)

Here to post my food/smart points, and to hopefully pick up some tips/inspiration along the way.

I've got 12 weeks until a hen weekend and 18 weeks until a cruise so hoping to buy my first bikini since I was 19!

Hello and Welcome!

I see that you have come to us from the dark side of SW, you have seen the light (and crumpets!lol!)

Are you going to be doing No Count all the time or will u switch and swap between counted and no count?

Good Luck and looking forward to reading your journey. X

Hi, thanks I have definitely seen the crumpets! (Missed them on SW!)

I did points from Tues-Sat and liked those, so will switch between the two I think. Do you do points or NC? x

I did counting points, during 11 weeks on plan I only had one lonely F&H day! I love crumpets, eat them every day when I'm working! Which year do you teach? X

 

[holiday-dieter]

Would you say points are better? I'm more or less totally new to WW! I'm Year 5 x

I prefer points as I like the convenience of jars/eating out/takeaways if I want them, sometimes work can be really busy so I like to grab and go at times! Year 5 must be quite challenging at times, are u enjoying the holidays? X

 

[holiday-dieter]

Loving being off! There's no 5.45 alarm and no marking! Going away for a couple of days today so hoping I can semi stay on track. I've planned a NC day today, but think I much prefer points so will probably stick with that Hope you have a fab day x

Thanks!

Back from Edinburgh! Had an amazing time and had some on track bits and some 'naughty' bits. Biggest achievement was ordering salad with my chicken sandwich at TGI's rather than fries

Anyway, scales this morn show 1lb gain, and have until Saturday till weigh in so hoping I can get rid of that lb for a STS Back on track today xx

Well Done on a FAB trip away, go you with your salad instead of Fries, your halo is shining!!!! I think your 1lb is probably just fluid from the different sort of food so I think there's every possibility of a STS or minimal loss on Saturday, we are all rooting for you!!!! X

I normally stock up and freeze when they are reduced x

Amazing 12 SP dinner!

That looks so yummy! Would never think of baking a wrap! Did u make the 'fries'? X

 

[holiday-dieter]

Yeah, just 70g parsnip sliced into really thin fries, sprinkle of cajun seasoning and a couple of sprays of fry-light. Took ages to cook though! x

Ooooo I might try those in my actifry! They'd be done super speedy in there and a great alternative to the plain old spud! X
