helzzz's diary - 59.5lb lost, 15.5 to go!

D'oh!

Just realised that I've allocated myself 3 B choices and 1 A choice for today. I've changed the bread for points. Can anyone see where I might be going wrong?

Hi
I can't help with red and green but was going to look at your extra easy menus to see if I could see if I could spot any problems with them :) I couldn't see them - are they on here? which posts?
 
orange is EE, red is RED, green is GREEN... surely?
so tues and wed were EE days?
 
I wonder if you're not eating enough? Then when you have totm or some other reason why you might gain a bit of water etc, you think it's gaining weight and try and cut back even more.

Try adding in some superfree snacks mid morning and mid afternoon? Otherwise you seem to be doing OK.
 
Yes - Tue & Wed were extra easy.

Sparky - I'll try some superfree foods as snacks. I don't tend to need one in the mornings but the afternoons can be a bit tougher as we don't eat tea til at least 7:30 (hubby works late). I'm trying to branch out from my usual bananas and grapes so this week have bought clementines and melons to see if they help.
 
WOOHOO!!! 2lb off for me today. Finally got my first half stone sticker after 7 weeks. I'm a big kid and respond really well to stickers!

I was beginning to worry that I'd only lose 1lb a week from now on (I know 1lb a week is nearly 3.5 stone in a year but I want to lose 4 st 3 by December) so I'm a happy bunny. It was definitely worth refusing take-away and birthday cake at my friend's party on Saturday!

I also think I could do evern better. I've eaten lots more speed foods (even had speed soup over the weekend and made loads of it so there's about 4 pints in the freezer) which I think has helped but I've hardly done any exercise this week (1.5 hours on wii yesterday). If I want to complete my wiifit challenge I need to do 6.5 hours of wii by next Monday. I've been a good girl and done 1 hour this morning so an hour a day will get me there. I've also got some new wii games coming so they should keep me going.

My new placement starts today (late start as it's first day) so I'll be out and about a lot more which should also help. I have to make sure I have a packed lunch with me every day as I will rarely be in the office - have to eat lunch on the move! I'm quite nervous about the whole thing to be honest - I'll be glad when I finally get started.

Meals for the week are planned and I'm off to Asda now to buy everything so no excuses.

It's an entire week of green. I find it so much easier than extra easy - more healthy extras! I also don't eat meat much anyway so it's not a problem. If anyone can see any problems with it please let me know.

Well done on reaching your first half a stone!!!!! :D Bet your so happy!!

Sounds good having all menu's planned... i tend to do this for a week at a time too... Defo makes it easier to stick to!!

I've just done my 12 hours on the wii challenge so chuff'd... even nearly an hour over target... Defo think the thread spurs me on!!

Here's to another good week for you hun!! Good luck xxx
 
HI there,
I'm in a similar position to you. I keep losing a little weight then going back to where I started then losing some more...
Anyway, I'm very motivated at the moment and hoping to stick it out.
Seem to have very little time though due to my job so think this is where I have failed in the past! Def haven't enough time for too much exercise for time being so am just trying to really stick to SW and do what I can when I can exercise wise!
I did do simming world about 12 years ago although I had a lot less to lose back then. I can remember being told to start at high syns (close to 15) until you really slow down your weightloss than cut back again and this should give it a boos. Don't know how true that is but I'm sticking to a high number at the moment! XX
 
Hi Sofartogo, I realise that my plan may look like I don't have all of my syns but it's just that when I plan at the weekend I syn up my meals and then know how many syns I have left for snacks each day. The plan changed around slightly due tocooking too much speed soup and also having an unplanned meal out on Saturday.

This is my actual food diary from the last week.

Well - it's another 1lb off this week. Was a bit disappointed with it to be honest as I didn't stop all of last week and thought that all of that extra exercise would help me to lose more. I didn't do any wiifit in the evenings as I was doing so much in the day that I was shattered when I got home and feeling tired & low (which explains why there were a LOT of chocolate treats). I had cravings for comfort food on Wednesday all the way home from work (which nearly resulted in a takeaway) but still managed to talk myself out of it and ONLY have McCoys & chocolate mousse. I know McCoys are really high syns but they were all hubby had in and if I'd gone to the shop for some quavers I can't guarantee I wouldn't have bought loads more stuff.

Just realised that I've been doing SW 100% for 4 weeks now and I've still managed to have meals out, crisps, chocolate and not feel deprived. I was really proud of myself on Saturday when a group of us went out as I persuaded my friends that we had to have either Japanese, Chinese or pasta so that I could keep within my syns. Impromptu meals out used to be one of my (MANY) times in the past where I'd say "sod it" and eat anything and everything.

This week's plan is done and the shopping list has been written ready for me to go on the way home tonight. For anyone who's interested:

As ever - if anyone spots anything glaringly wrong let me know. It's the first weekend I've been away from home (and therefore not in control of the food) this weekend but my Mum is really good and will ask me what I can eat on slimming world (she does try to tempt me with dessert though so I might need to syn some ice cream on Saturday night)

Hi Amy,

I'm happy with my half stone - I just never expected it to take so long! 7lb in 7 weeks is the slowest I've ever lost the first half stone. However (apart from Christmas) all WIs have been losses so I suppose it's all going in the right direction.

I didn't manage my wiifit challenge this month - last week at new job was so physically exhausting that I didn't feel up to it in the evenings. I think I'll get more used to it as the job goes on. I might try to do 1.5hrs of wii fit tonight just to say I made it to 10 hours in January which I don't think is too bad at all. Have already signed up to February and determined to have fun with my new wii games and achieve my target!
 
3lb off this week! I am ridiculously excited by this - 11lbs in 9 weeks now. :bliss:

I'm really not sure why the loss was so good this week except that maybe all of the exercise from the last couple of weeks is making a difference now. I walk for hours a day now on my placement and also did 3 hours on the wii over the weekend so who knows. However I also had fish and chips on Friday night (had been tempted for a couple of days but synned it up first and decided that it was worth it). I ended up 15 syns over for the week which works out at 300 calories so I figured that as a one off it would be okay and that if I didn't lose I'd know the reason why and be happy with it. It's also star week so I really wasn't expecting much at all - definitely not my best loss since week 1 :D.

I didn't end up going to my parents last week so will go this weekend instead. We may well end up going out for a meal for my Nanna's birthday on Saturday so I'm going to limit myself to 10 syns a day during the week to give myself a bit of leeway at the weekend. I also think that the loss this week will spur me on to make healthy choices if we do go out for a meal.

Here's my menu for the week. I haven't included Sat/Sun as I'll be at my parents and don't really know what's happening. As always if anyone sees a glaringly obvious mistake please let me know!

Fab loss hun!! Well done should be very proud... Defo think that walking during your placement and the wii challenge is helping!! :D

Glad you enjoyed some fish & chips...Deserve a treat!!

Here's to more good losses for you! Keep up good work!! xxx
 
I've been a naughty girl and I'm kicking myself!

I've been rubbish at coming on here recently. I've stil been following the plan though & updating my ticker but not much else.

I'm finally at my stone. Stil averaging 1.5 per week since Christmas. At that rate the final 4 stone should be gone before the end of the year. Actually though, I'd like to lose it by end of September really as I go to an annual conference which includes a posh dinner dance. I want to dress up, look fab and for people to do a double take when they see how much I've lost since last year's.

Well this week has been bad. I made it to my stone last week. I also had to change the battery in my scales and they now say I'm 5lb heavier than with the old battery - it's probably more accurate but means I now have 4st1 to lose and my BMI is higher :(

I'm away this weekend - I'm going back to Newcastle for a bit of a reunion with my old uni mates. They're feeling nostalgic so we're going to the curry place we always used to go to on Saturday. Knowing us we'll also go out somewhere for lunch on Sunday.

Because I know that the weekend won't be great I know I should be extra good this week. I was planning on saving some syns to use at the weekend. Instead I was really bad yesterday and had a Greggs chicken sandwich, a pack of crisps, a croissant & a chicken fried rice & prawn crackers. It's totally wiped out the syns buffer I had. I also have still been walking lots on placement (which I'm not enjoying but that's another story) but no other exercise as my voluntary work is eating up a lot of my free time recently. I'm sure I could squeeze some in if I really tried but I'm so tired whenever I finally get a minute to myself.

I'm just expecting a really big gain and feeling rubbish because of it. The annoying thing is that I was feeling so good at the weekend. The trousers I wanted to fit into by end of Feb fitted and also the size 14 dress I bought for a friend's wedding in April does up (although stil a bit boobalicious). Why am I sabotaging myself?

I know that in the grand scheme of things it's not the end of the world and I could have had a much worse binge but I'm now feeling rubbish!

Anyway - rant over! I stole the idea from someone else of having a charm bracelet with an extra charm for each half stone I lose. I bought the bracelet and the first two charms yesterday and it's so lovely (although will work out expensive - the money hubby is putting in a jar for me will pay for it though :) ). I need to get back on track so that I can buy the next charm (hopefully by mid April).

If anyone's still reading sorry for the long rant but I hope that writing it all down will help me to make a fresh start.
 
good morning babes. your first stone!! wow!! i'm so unbelievably impressed.

sounds like you've hit the 'woo i've done so well, time to sabotage myself' bit, which is usually my trick. and you tell me to stick with it and think of all i've achieved but moreso what i still want to achieve, so i'm giving you your own advice back. my scales are finally going down!! so i need you to keep going with me!!

so what if you have a wee gain (and if you stick with it you may not). life goes on and it will come off again the following week. maybe jump on the wii fit a few minutes a night for damage limitation?

i'm so envious of your dress for the wedding. i don't have a thing. and anything i do find i am going to look like a blimp in (i may need your help to find something). you are going to look super-fine. just keep that image in your head. there's a few weeks to go. how about a mini-goal before the wedding? have you set one? maybe that would help you keep on track?

as for the ranting, well that's what we are all here for :)

loads of love and determination vibes!!

Hello, hope you don't mind me gatecrashing your thread, I think you can work out who I am from my username :D

Well done on losing 1 stone, that's great :)

Don't dwell too much on the self-sabotage, just draw a line underneath it, be good on these two days before the weekend, and try and make the best choices you can while still having a great time :D I always rubbish choices at special occasions - but then I tell myself that eating healthily has to fit in with my life to be a lifestyle change - and sitting there picking at lettuce leaves while everyone else is eating yummy food is just not life ;)

I have my dress sorted-ish :D had a fitting last week, after having not seen the dress since May last year. I was so, so terrified that it wouldn't fit. The dress I tried on then was way too big, so I hadn't actually tried on this size. It fits fine around the hips but needs letting out from there upwards. I also have a jacket with it, in the same size, which is too big :rolleyes:

I love the charm bracelet idea :)
 
Thanks guys. I'll take your advice (or my advice as Abz reminded me :p ).

I've been a good girl today. I went out for lunch with a client at work and chose a jacket potato with beans - I thought that might fill me up better than a pitta and stop the snacking urge. I've driven straight from work to Doncaster (1 hr drive) and have a meeting which means I won't get back in til after 10 at the earliest. That means I wont do wiifit tonight but I am tucking into a tuna pasta and yoghurt before meeting starts meaning that I've only eaten 2 syns all day!

I've been wearing my pretty bracelet all day and using it to remind me what I've achieved and what I have to look forward to.

Abz - give me a shout one weekend before the wedding and we'll so go outfit shopping for the wedding. I'm definitely keeping going - the world as we know it would be wrong without us supporting eachother through weight loss.

Stitchy - hello & welcome! It's like having my own little stalker :) I cant wait to see you in your dress - you'll look gorgeous (just try to drink a little less than Saturday night :p )

As for another mini target - I'd kind of had 13st8 as a target for the wedding as that was my WW starting weight many moons ago. Now that scales have added 5lb to me I've decided to aim for at least under 14st and then who knows?

Thanks again guys. I'm feeling much more positive today. Let me know if I can ever return the favour.
 
Well I'm still being a good girl so far. I've had a horrendous migraine yesterday and still not feeling too good today (although hopefully will be feeling better by tonight for my night out in Newcastle). Even though I was feeling rubbish (and my usual migraine (and hangover) cure is McDonalds) hubby cooked for us so that I'd stay on track. I did have some salt & vinegar crisps and a low fat chocolate mousse but only ate 8 syns. Which means that since my blowout on Wednesday I've saved 20 syns. I'll not have any today until tonight's curry so we'll see how it goes. Looking at the specials menu it looks like I'll be having:

1 poppadom
either chicken chat on puri or 2 onion bhajis (depends which one is less hot)
chicken malayan with plain pilau (they don't offer just boiled rice)
Half a plain naan
1 scoop ice-cream
cup of tea

Probably well over the 35 syns I'll have available for the day but there's not a lot I can do about it. I might give some bits to hubby (like the starters and have less than half of the naan)

Wish me luck!
 
how did it go hon?

i have been living on soup since friday. turns out that two sets of fixed braces remove your ability to chew without large amounts of pain. it is getting better so i am hoping to start on solids again shortly, ha. i have avoided creamy soups too, and they have all mainly been posh chopped tomatoes i'm sure!! ha. so i'm hoping that will show on the scales.

i found a dress for the wedding in debenhams. woo. it's navy though so i really need to funk it up. i have red shoes so i need some funky red/navy tights but in a big size. any ideas? i don't just want a plain colour. i want an exciting pattern... failing that i'll have to improvise i guess. i just want to get me back rather than the frumpy bag of sh*te i have become!! izzy always looks fabulous and then there's me...

well done on following your own advice. you are a pro at this. i have some severe catching up to do but i'm going to give it a shot!! ha.

abz xx
