Noticed that Imperial came 3rd in the University ratings in the Independent yesterday - behind the obvious two!

You have done really, really well to get the offer - the academic bit is just the last hurdle. You'll do it no bother. xx

 

[Tootiefrootie]

Hope your evening is going well and enjoying the nice bottle of wine!

 

[jennikay]

Pointing has gone well had almost half a bottle of wine and think I'm about a point under

I'd forgotten how much I loved my ryvita and salmon, mmmm

Off to bed now!

xx

 

[blackwidow]

well done Jenni! and that ryvita and salmon sounds gorgeous :drool: hope you have a lovely weekend - keep up the good work! x

 

[Tootiefrootie]

mmm ryvita and salmon.. well done Jen on your pointing! Best of luck xx

 

[jennikay]

Half a point over yesterday. May start keeping a food diary again - having said that, I suppose I'll be tracking once I get back to meetings

I was... *drumroll* 10st 4 this morning
Doubt I'll stay there until tomorrow, but we can hope

SO encouraging to see the weight coming off already
Also lessens the shame when I go back to meetings

Anyone know if they have meetings on bank holidays?

xx

 

[jennikay]

Actually, no, I lie - I was 3 points over

Undecided as to whether or not I want to claw them back, hmmm.

Also, just had a look and my meeting isn't on tomorrow. Shall start next week then

xx

 

[blackwidow]

are you going to continue pointing until then? x

 

[jennikay]

Yep - I'll be pointing after then, so why not?

Woohooo! Still 10st 4 even after some very dubious pointing yesterday (had belly pork and was a bit unsure as to how much I had) so I'm quite pleased

That means that since last Wednesday I've lost 3lbs

Also that I have less than a stone to go

xx

 

[blackwidow]

thats brill - well done Jenni x

 

[Tootiefrootie]

Hey Jennikay can you go to another meeting during the week? I know I sometimes miss the one I go to and I head to another just to keep me motivated.

Hey Jennikay can you go to another meeting during the week? I know I sometimes miss the one I go to and I head to another just to keep me motivated.

I *could* - but I'm starting again so I'd rather do that at my own meeting, or at least with my own leader - but the only other meeting she does is too difficult to get to really.

Any other time I would, there's a handy one on a Thursday morning

xx

 

[jennikay]

Pointing didn't go great last night (never does when there's alcohol involved!)
However - I resisted celebrations AND I was given cake and didn't finish it!

I do think I may have broken my emotional dependency on chocolate, as a result of therapy maybe? I don't know. A few weeks ago I would've finished that cake off even though it wasn't particularly nice.

I was 10st 3 this morning and long may it continue to go down, I can't wait until my weight is in single figures again That loss is almost certainly due to dehydration, I'm sooo thirsty right now

I do get addicted to this weightloss you know. may try for under 9st - depends how I feel when I get there I suppose

I've been thinking about how my OCDish personality affects my dieting. I'm a huge fan of round numbers
I tend to eat in whole points, if my meal is, say, 5.5 points, I'll eat something which is half a point, to make it up.

I tend to split my day into 10 + 9, or 10 + 8, and tend to eat the smaller number by the end of lunchtime, and panic that I don't have enough points left if I've eaten more than that

xx

 

[blackwidow]

i do the latter.. panic if i dont have many points left after lunch..

well done on resisting the celebrations though.. thats definitely a good start x

 

[ugg]

Sounds like your doing really well Jennikay, Congrats on not eating the celebrations and not finishing the cake.
Good luck for the coming week xx

 

[jennikay]

I've done something terrible!

I had a pot noodle for lunch haha.
Oh I'm feeling so good today, even better than last time I did WW, then I would never have DARED eat one (a whole 8 points!) but I *wanted* one, so I *had* one

Also, sugar free jelly :drool: haha.
Sadly my mum threw out my CD water flavouring (which made a REALLY nice jelly) but I made her get me some hartleys today which is quite nice

What shall I have for tea? Hmm, decisions.
Think I'll have something with lots of veg. I love veg
I had a bowl of leeks after my pot noodle so that I had *some* proper nutrition at lunch

Any ideas?

xx

Quorn is fantastic with veg stir fried - you can use stock cubes as a sauce flavouring and a bit of cornflower to thicken it up. Delicious.

I tend to have Ww meals with loads of free veg to bulk it up when I need to drop some points...like now

Brilliant work so far on losing 3-4lbs in less than a week. You have given me the necessary kick...xx

 

[jennikay]

Yay! Haha, nice to inspire someone instead of being inspired all the time
I have no idea how I lost so much weight, I suppose it was mostly the rubbish I was eating before

I honestly have no idea where this determination came from, it was just like, 'right! I'm rejoining WW'

Mmm, stir fry haven't had one in a whole 2 days
I had a real chicken one it was delicious

I forgot to get any soy sauce which was why I wasn't going to have one - stock cubes sounds good though, do you mix it with water as well, or just stick a stock cube in there lol?

xx

 

[Less Rotund One]

Mix it up with a bit of water - but not as much as if you were making up stock for soup.

Then add your bit of cornflour so that it thickens it up - just gives it some flavour.

I tend to add some spices in there too just for the excitement.

You reminded me about something I love which I have not had for ages....cottage cheese and melba toasts....I am getting some today!
