ProPoints Emmaholl's New Years Resolutions

[emmaholl]

1. Stick to the WW plan - no matter what.
2. Do some form of exercise every day.
3. Believe in myself and I can achieve anything.
4. Treat myself every month that I lose weight (non-food).
5. Try new recipes to keep my eating plan exciting.
6. Visit minimins.com every day to be motivated and to offer support to others.
7. Track every meal, every snack, every day, every week.
8. Drink at least 2 litres of water every day.
9. Save up for my new wardrobe and holiday once I reach goal!
10. Write how I've done on this thread every day for the next 365 days.

2012 is the year that Emma Hollings becomes the person she really wants to be.

Had a lazy day today, no exercise other than walking round to a friends house, but have eaten:
Breakfast: toast and choc spread and a banana - 4pps
Lunch: Bacon and egg sandwich - 7pps
Tea: ww chips, steak and onion wrap - 15pps
Snacks: 6 satsumas, 2 mini maltesers - 6pps

I lapsed after being out at a friends house for the evening and only having diet coke and cucumber sticks so got a chicken kebab and chips on the way home, but chips tasted horrible so only ate three and had half the chicken and the pitta which was flame grilled so only counted 7pps extra from my weeklies.

Must start the exercise again tomorrow!!

Okay so I've been away for two days and of course its because i have been bad!

I had a curry on Tuesday night but hardly ate anything during the day so think i can just about count it in my points.

No so good. But back on it with a vengeance today!

Today I have eaten:
Brunch: Bacon sandwich 7pps
Mid afternoon: Homemade Red pepper soup - 0pps
Tea: Chicken salad and Jacket potato - 12pps
snacks: 2 packs of walkers french fries - 5pps
Pudding: fresh fruit, 2 merangue nests and 2 spoons of elmlea - 4pps
Total for today: 28pps - is that all! I'm supposed to have 38!!

1st January 2012

Days gone 1 / 364 days to go
​

So have been a perfect little bunny diet wise today. Haven't done any exercise again though but did feel rough last night and a bit this morning - full of cold - but i think it was as a result of having some bacardi on Friday night (alcohol allergy!)

I've been watching 'I used to be fat' on MTV for motivation today - made me feel like I am on the right path!

Okay so today I have eaten:
Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs on 1 slice of toast with brown sauce - 7pps
Dinner: Spicy chicken wraps - 9pps
Snacks: 2 ww choc bars & hot vimto - 6pps
Pudding: 2 merangue nests and strawberries with 2 tblsp of elmlea - 4pps
Total so far today: 26pps

I've drunk 4 huge glasses of water today too!

Going to have a options hot chocolate and a mini pack of maltesers later!!

 

[MrsLmc]

Doing brilliant. Back to it today for me too, I'm so happy to be back lol. xx

2nd, 3rd & 4th January 2012

4 days gone/361 days to go
​

So okay - not doing too well on the new years resolutions so far as i haven;t updated this diary for the past 2 days!
Ah well here goes:

Completely overdid the points on Monday but as I weighed in first thing and had lost 2lbs kind of carried on in my usual thread of having a curry after class - only there was no class!

Tuesday was good - made paella! Yum. 36pps in total.

Wednesday back to work and I am knackered! had 37 pps today - a lot of cake crap - but all weight watchers products so is it really that bad?
got weighed again this morning - can't stop myself and am still at 283lbs which is fab as I am on my period and feeling rough as hell - so hopefully by the time i get to class on Monday 9th Jan I will have lost another 2lbs which means I will have lost 8lbs between pre and post xmas weigh ins...fingers crossed!!

Had lots of lovely compliments at work today saying that it is noticeable now that I've lost a stone and a half! Also lots of compliments about my hair which is bordering on purple!!
Ah well...onwards and downwards!

 

[JLStretton]

Never had paella, meant to have it when I went Spain but never got round to it.

 

[emmaholl]

Really nice is paella James - I got the recipe from Lorraine Pascal off the telly. You could google it. I modified it slightly and halved the ingredients. T'was very yummy.

Thursday 5th January 2012

5 days gone / 360 to go!

Had a really good day at work, was a bit peckish mid afternoon but had a huge orange! I was hungry before bed as well but was determined not to scoff anything - is it mad to think that if i go to bed hungry I'll lose more weigh? Maybe its psychological?

Breakfast: Toast and choc spread - 4pps
Lunch: chicken sandwich and walkers french fries - 12pps
Tea: chicken and bacon wrap - 11pps
Snacks: 2 ww bars & mini maltesers & walkers french fries - 9pps
Total: 36pps

Not too bad.

Snacks: 2 crispy choc bites, i mini baileys hagen daas ice cream - 9pps

Total: 38pps

On a good note I weighed in at 282lbs today! Official weigh in Monday evening at class - three weeks since last weigh in - I was 289lbs at last weigh in!

 

[JLStretton]

Nice one with the loss.

 

[MrsLmc]

Hiya seen your note on the January thread. You were wondering about all you dailies. My advice would definately be to eat every last daily!! and your weeklies. I did this from midway in my plan and my losses increased and I stayed better on plan. I'd advice everyone to do the same. I'm at goal now and I've increased my dailies and continue to eat every last one. It really works. Enjoy......oh and if you struggle nuts are a great way to use up pp without eating alot x
