I had my weigh in today and I put on 1.5 lbs :cry:i am seriously miffed, cause I actually stuck to the plan (or "embraced" it as they kept saying...). I forgot about old Points, weighed my food, counted everything. I even used a ProPoint calculator, whereas before I just used to use the chart in the discover folder and have a rough guess. I just feel like I am eating too much, especially with fruit on top of my 29 daily points, but if this is the minimum which we are supposed to be eating for healthy nutrition...I am baffled. I am trying to make sensible choices, eating things like vegetable soups, lean protein, haven't touched chocolate or love hearts, I always used to have a couple of cheeky packets a week on Discover. And I have eaten more fruit but definitely haven't been bingeing on it. If anything I have been overestimating my points cause I was worried that I was eating too much.
I put on 1lb at the start of November but I was terrible and could pinpoint exactly why, I was completely off plan.
I lost 4.5lbs on my last week on the old plan, and I didn't do anything particularly out of the ordinary. One of the helpers weighed me today and couldn't really explain it. I said, almost tearful (I must grow up...) "I really don't know why, I followed the plan, found it easy to follow...", so she told the leader to have a chat with me. She said it's either my body balancing itself out after last week's loss confused: bloody great, it may as well balance itself out back to my starting weight and I shall be fat for life), or my body getting used to the new programme, which to be frank sounds like codswallop to me. I don't usually drink alcohol but had a couple of glasses of wine last night, and a cocktail earlier in the week, but I did point them so stayed in my allowance. If this plan is supposed to be so liveable then a couple of drinks shouldn't make a difference. I am so so annoyed!
My leader urged me to stick with it for another week and see how it goes, but I feel so defeated. I finally found something that worked for me and then they changed it. If it doesnt work out I could go back to old Points on my own, but the issue was I am too weak to cope on my own and I always fail. Waah waah waah... I'll stop ranting now
