Going it alone.

I do it alone too 
The key for me is to plan ahead. That stops me from grabbing food without knowing the points or having a "sod it" attitude!
I plan my weeks menus before I do my shopping, that also stops me from grabbing treats whilst pushing the trolley around and I stick to my list.

Yeah i have done that for this week and i have found it helpful. Snacking is my downfall so i am having to have the will power to not nibble on the ww chocolate mousses etc i have bought. I joined here to try and make my weight loss accountable like when you do when you get weighed at meetings
That's a good idea. Everyone is so wonderfully supportive, so if you do fall off the wagon, don't worry about it so much. There will definitely be someone here who is going through or has gone through the same thing. Sometimes we need to confess all, so to speak. This forum is great for that and the encouragement.
I'm always falling off the wagon! The key is to keep getting back on and keep trying x

Hi all!
I started it at home too as im too busy to go to meetings and cant really afford it with a baby. I did however find buying the deluxe starter pack on the ww website really good. Think I paid 17 and for that got a calculator, a food diary, highlighter, shop and eat out guide and a few other bits and pieces. I used the net to find the formula to work out activity points i earn and I try plan my meals a lot more than I used to. Day four and so far Ive been ok. I had one wobble but instead of crying about it I calmed down and just pointed what I ate and it turned out it only ate into 10 of my weeklies so i didnt feel bad. I also got a gym membershio for xmas and im going!!! Hubby is on board totally so thats helping too. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

I agree scoobysue...its so easy to have a nibble on soemthing and forget to track it. Im tracking in my journal at the moment and on myfitnesspal for when I dont have my journal with me. Im finding it really useful as it allows me to see where im going wrong and if im snacking too much. Last night I had a blip and had a huge binge but afterwards I calmly pointed it and although i used most of my weeklies I didnt feel too bad as at least i didnt eat all of them. I had a good first week loss but for some reason i feel horrid this week think its because I know I wont be able to get that same loss next week. Anyone else every feel like that? x

I didnt have a great loss in the first week because i had a binge (lasted 2 days) so i only lost 1lb ( i was grateful for that). this week i feel more prepared than last, dont beat yourself up about it- it happens and it is going to continue to happen for me. I have just learnt that when it does i need to point it and move on, no point thinking i ate badly so i give up you can do this xx
you can do this xx
