Linz Pro Points Food Diary

[Linz259]

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here for a while, and thought it was time to start a food diary as I get inspiration from reading others

Anyway, I'm Linz, have done ww myself from home off and on for a cpl of years, losing then gaining. This time I joined a local meeting in February and haven't looked back since! So far I've lost 21.5pbs, could have been more in that time but I've had a few gains, although this time when that happens I don't let it discourage me, I just keep going, I feel I've finally got out the mindset that I'm "on" weight watchers, and instead have adapted my life to include weight watchers. Now counting and tracking comes naturally to me, where each time before, it was a chore.

At the mo, I get 38pp a day. Today is week 18 day 4, and for breakfast I am having oat so simple porridge with a dollop of Nutella, for 7pp total.





Hope the photo works, not done it before!

Anyway I hope everyone has a good Sunday, I'm off to visit my niece who turns 1 today then I am working tonight. Shall update later with lunch and tea

Welcome Linz Well Done on your incredible loss so far, how much more would u like to lose? X

 

[Linz259]

Thanks! I've got lots to lose, "on paper" I'm still 7 stone overweight, but I don't know how realistic that is so at the moment I don't have an end goal in mind, I'm just using smaller goals, then when I get to a weight I'm happy at that's when I'll try to maintain. My first goal was 5% which I've achieved, my second is 22lbs as that's how much I put on between January last year and feb this year, so I've 0.5lb to go to get that. My next target is 2 stone, which I think is also my 10%

Small Goals is definitely the way forward, makes it seen like a doable task! X

I've stuck with French Fries subsequently! I found them too salty. X

It's one of them yes, I've got 3 dogs. This one is the springer spaniel max x

 

[Linz259]

This Is them all together

 

[xsugarfairyx]

They are all gorgeous xx

 

[Linz259]

Thanks, gorgeous but pests!

 

[xsugarfairyx]

Is your spaniel nutty? I had a cavalier who was as mad as a box of frogs xx

 

[Linz259]

He's a bit of a mix really. At the park he will run about mad like a dog possessed, and will happily keep going for hours, putting the "spring" into springer spaniel. However in the house he is happy to curl up in his bed and snooze. He's got a fab character, very obedient but with a mischievous side too. He's an angel for my husband but runs rings around me!
