ProPoints Diary of a serial diet failer

[Lozza33]

Hello. I am 33, I work as a NVQ Assessor and started piling on the pounds in my late 20s. Until then I had been fortunate to maintain a size 12 figure without trying but then I hit about 30 and the weight has just kept piling on since.
I am rubbish at diets, I successfully lost 1 stone on sw last year but came off plan and piled it back on along with 7 pounds extra. I have tried sw several times since with no success at sticking to it.
Now it is time to give ww a go and I have tried a couple of times before and failed, but this time I have got so heavy that I seriously need to lose weight for my health if nothing else.
My allowance is 29pp and the 49 weeklies.

Thanks Jaly. I am in a really positive frame of mind at the moment and have now completed day 2 successfully. woop woop :-D

You have done fantastically with your weight loss. Any tips for a newbie?! ;-)

 

[Jaly]

Don't be afraid of eating more! I had better losses when I did eat more, and don't feel bad for using your weeklies, that's what they're there for! Don't deny yourself treats! Let's hope the positivity keeps flowing!x

 

[Lozza33]

Thanks :-D. I am definitely going to be having my weeklies, will need them for the weekend especially as that is always when I am tempted to snack more...

I am home today and haven't felt like eating a meal, more just wanted little snacky things.

 

[Jaly]

Yay, that's fantastic Won't be long until it's 3 100% days I'm sure I too feel really snacky at the weekends, just try and keep yourself busy! Have a fab day!

Congrats on a good 2 days work!

Don't worry about the choc cake, that happens us all! The only thing I remember my leader saying about that is never say "I'll start tomorrow". If you eat something bad, get yourself back on track straight away.
I used to feel like if I ate something bad, I'd ruined it all anyway, so ate what I wanted then!

Best of luck! Looking forward to reading your diary!

Thanks Jaly and also thanks DWG. I really wanted to point the chocolate cake but had no idea what it would be as it was homemade but I am pleased that I am on day 3 now and have put it behind me hehe.

I have another major obstacle on Saturday night as I am going to a party which means buffet and alcohol. I am thinking I will use 10 weeklies on maybe 5 drinks (spirit and diet coke) but buffet food will be impossible so I am wondering if I will be better eating a meal before I go and avoiding it altogether. I don't want to ruin Tuesday's weigh in.

I started the NHS couch 2 5k running plan a couple of weeks ago and managed to get to week 2 but had to stop due to severe pain in both knees. I have proper running shoes but it turns out I have weak quad muscles which means my knees are taking too much pressure when I run. I have been doing strenghtening exercises and am really hoping to be able to return to the plan next week. I was really enjoying it and my legs are much more toned even though I only managed to get into week 2.

Good luck for having a good day

 

[Jaly]

Ah, well done with the C25K, planning on trying it myself too! If you're able to, swimming is fantastic for strengthening leg muscles, otherwise squats/lunges or simply brisk walks! Well done for putting it behind you, it's fine to indulge at the buffet but eating something filling such as soup beforehand so you aren't ravenous is probably a good idea so you're eating as a treat not as a meal. I hope that you manage to get back to plan soon!

Have a lovely day!

 

[Lozza33]

aww thanks, I really want to as I was feeling a real sense of achievement. Hopefully my knees will be ok next week, I will be devastated if I have to stop again :-(

What a gorgeous day, I have leave today so might get my housework done asap and get some serious tannage on! :-D

 

[Jaly]

Sounds like a plan!
