ProPoints Lauren's PP journey to shed the pounds!

[laurenmay]

Hi everyone

Well, after six months of fussing about with diets and plans and calories this, syns that - I've decided to give WW a go. And to be honest, this is the most confident I've felt about a diet in a long time.

Little bit about me - I'm 21 years old, mummy to a gorgeous but hyperactive 1 year old boy and work full time making car engines at Ford. My normal weight is 9.7 stone, and my normal dress size is an 8, this is the size I was before pregnancy, and the size I dropped back down to four months after having my baby... But Christmas came & went, and with it my determination and motivation went too! & that led to laziness, greed and pigging out every day - causing me to gain 4 stone, so I'm now 13.7 stone and a size 14-16.

I attended my first meeting tonight, and have been allocated 30pp a day, along with the 49 weeklies. Safe to say I'm feeling confident and happy about this path I'm taking, & just hope it's the one that takes me back down to 9.7 stone!

Good luck, WW has worked for me before, we weigh the same now! You must hold your weight well as I'm taller than you and a 14 x

Hi and well done on your first day :0)

 

[laurenmay]

Thanks everyone half way through day two, and craving chocolate quite a bit today, so may allow myself a big choccie bar and use some of my weeklies rather than cave in and pig out!

 

[laurenmay]

Change of heart - I know weeklies can be used at any time, but a huge part of me would feel too guilty eating them in the week! And with it being only my 2nd day I wanna get past day three at least without chocolate and treats & then allow myself some I have to show myself that it's just a want - not a need!

 

[bulldogdaisy]

Always best to go with what works for you :0)

Well done hunny! Whoooo

Lauren your not cheating by using your weeklys! lol
the beauty of WW as well , it will get you moving more...a brisk 60 min walk earns you something like 8PP....a few of those a week and you can have yourself a nice treat at the weekend
Oh and dont get large fries at mcdonalds..theyr the same PP as a big mac (13)...I made the mistake one day of eating first then looking up the points later and nearly died;p
when you get monthly pass theres a dead usefull PP calculater and online tracker...realy usefull tool
