Lydia's New Year New Me Diary

[Karenlou]

Oh Lydia, that's frustrating, especially when your own scales show you have lost.

If you don't feel you need the support of a class to stick to the diet, I personally would leave classes and WI at home. That would solve your dilemma for eating on WI days as well as you could hop on the scales in the mornings before brekkie.

I'm not convinced that ww scales at class are as accurate as they make out. I know they are tested etc but they get lugged about all over the place.

If your scales say you have lost, then as far as I am concerned, you have lost.

I'd save the seventeen quid a month or whatever it is x

Thats exactly what my mum said Karen, and I would still have this forum. I'm paid up until end of December will contemplate until then LOL!!

Its £17.95 a month. My friend who goes to that class said that the leader said the new plan would be explained on 1st Dec we would get a file with all the details in but that there would be a new shopping guide and eating out guide to purchase on that day too, as theres little changes to the points system as well - so more money to shell out!! Bet the shopping guide suddenly goes up a £1 or so as well!

God I am so cynical.

My friend has just emailed me to say that on her scales at home she had stayed the same but on the same set of scales at class as me, she had put on as well. So am convinced now they are not accurate, I guess it depends on how well the lady looks after the scales and how much lugging about she does, I know the leader does three different classes a week all at different locations and no where near where she lives they are travelling about a lot.

aww Lyd, sorry to hear about your gain i would definitely go it alone if you can be strict enough with yourself. £17.95 is a lot.. thats almost enough for something nice from La Senza, and i would much rather spend it on me than line someone else's pockets.. go by your own scales - hers really sound very inaccurate! xx

 

[Karenlou]

I would go in December and get all the info on the new plan just in case you might want to try it and then leave after Xmas. Go by the weight on your own scales if you'd rather in the meantime.

 

[lea8198]

I totally agree with everyone else. Your scales sound the better of the two too.

 

[lydia150970]

yes I think I might do that, and my mum has bought me the WW body fat monitor scales for xmas so I can see how my body fat changes as well!

Your leader sounds a right charmer!! If you dont need the support Id be tempted to give it up and go it alone or change classes.

Hope you have a good week this week x

 

[lydia150970]

I think I am definitely heading towards cancelling my monthly pass and leaving classes at Christmas (once I have all the new plan details and bought the new shopping guide), I know a lot of people do better at classes than going it alone, but that doesn't seem to be the case for me - my weight loss or lack of is the same either way, so might as well save my £17.95!

Well your menus look lovely Lydia so any difficulties with the weight loss are nothing to do with not sticking to the diet. I just think it's a crying shame your gp won't give you thyroxin. Move practices!

 

[lydia150970]

Ive tried that they won't let me move practice cos I don't have a good enough reason! My practice is literally up the road from my house. But I guess I could move house, my friend in the next town has a thyroxine function level of 0.59 and because the cut off where she lives is 0.60 she gets thyroxine! But my practices cut off is 0.50. So I would have no problem there! However, seems a little drastic LOL!! Its all about money at the end of the day!! Cynical but true. But I am taking sea kelp and selenium and I need to try and find some Sprilinia and give that a go as well.

 

[lydia150970]

Sandy - the Leader is usually very very good when shes in her comfort zone and talking about areas that she feels knowledgeable about (although she did try to tell us once that BNS had to be pointed!!! we all shot her down, but she insisted on checking before she believed us). But if its something she doesn't know much about she can get very flustered. Maybe, because I was very taken about by what the scales said, and I challenged their accuracy, she reacted badly to this. I was annoyed that she accused me of not writing everything down because I do twice - in the journal and on esource and I told her this, but she still wanted to see the journal to see for herself! I decided to leave and not stay for the talk as I was so upset/ humilated/annoyed I decided the best thing all round was to go home and cool down.

I will weigh in on the other scales next week, I was intending on challenging her next week and asking to talk to her on a 1:1 basis, but I don't think I will do this, don't want to make things worse, just gotta brush myself down and get on with this. Its a good job I really love WW The Diet!!

 

[lydia150970]

God what I day ive had at work, soooo busy, didn't stop for a minute, my boss was like she was on speed the rate she was churning out work!!! Only managed to eat half my soup, was sipping at it in between work then it went cold so I didn't want it then, gonna let the dog out for a wee then off to bed totally exhausted, will catch up more tomorrow.

 

[blackwidow]

aww you sound like you've had such a hard day! hows the exercise going now? have you managed to build up a bit more since you started back? x

 

[lydia150970]

Oh its a nightmare at work at the moment, just taking a few minutes out to eat my quorn ham and cheese sandwich (3 1/2 points small loaf size sliced bread, no spread LOL!!), haven't had time to go home and let Millie out which I hate! But I will be leaving at 4 pm tonight no matter what, this kind of craziness is what contributed to me being off with GF in the first place and I don't want to make myself ill again or worse get ME cos if it. Anyway moan over.

I woke up last saturday with the sniffles so didn't bother swimming. But I am going to go tomorrow and Sunday for hopefully 20 mins each day.

Got jacket potato for tea tonight, might have quorn burgers and a few beans with it, well thats what I fancy at least!!

 

[blackwidow]

they sound so nice.. i am going to have to try them.. but then again anything with the word "burger" in it sounds good to me

 

[lydia150970]

-as well as x-factor - oh I'm such a fan - I want Ruth out tonight!

Ruth! you gotta please Daniel is gone! he was just awful!! I think Ruth is a bit annoying and cant be bothered with her flirting and over emotional behaviour but she has quite a good voice!
Think the final will be JLS and Alexandria!

 

[lydia150970]

Oh I was gutted Daniel went I just loved him, my mother was very worried about this fact as hes the spitting image of my totally mental/crazy ex fiance - guess we never learn our lessons heh!! Best to stay single I think!

I really really want Ruth out next week. Final will be JLS, Alexandra and that god damn annoying Diana, I just want to slap her and tell her to stop acting like a vulnerable fairy!!!


Mmmmmmmmmmmm the sausage dinner was absolutely gorgeous, if anyone has the Shop and Cook book definintely give it a go, I would post the recipe but WW would probably burn me alive!!

I'm a celebrity starts tonight, god I love this time of year.............. whats that I hear you all say???? I'm sad........well tell me something I don't know!!
