Hello there!
Just wanted to say hi and welcome! I'm the same as you, almost 29 and feel like iv been on and off diets since I was a teenager! On back on WW (day 2) and am feeling in the right head space for it again!
Just take each day at a time, I sometime found that if I was struggling and feeling overwhelmed at trying to do it 100% the just doing 100% per day soon got that week flying by and helped me stay on track. If you fall off the wagon and have a bad day, nip it in the bud and don't let the next day be the same.
Good luck with your journey
Suzanne

Woo hoo! Well don't for getting day 1 over with! I hope your feeling proud of your self x

 

[cheekychick81]

THank you! was much easier than I thought, feel like ive eaten more than enough and loads of points left?! feel like I should eat some more but Im not hungry??

 

[mrsm2007]

Sorry that was meant to say 'done' above! Grr to the iPad lol
I'm not the best to give advice re pro points as I'v only ever done the discovery plan from home, I think I'm actually a bit scared of pro points! When I decided yesterday that I WAS going to be starting WW I read as much as I could on it but decided that for the time being I'd stick with what I know for now!
That's absolutely fab that you don't feel hungry though, know that's where il struggle if I 'spend' my points on naughty food

It's going good thanks, tho last 2 days used most my points for alcohol!! Went to see Take That fri night and been on a hen do at the races today... Back to hood behaviour tomorrow

How are you doing? X

 

[cheekychick81]

So I guess Friday I was pretty good with my food, but had 3 pints of cider at Take That concert... Bit also danced all night and 30 min treck back to the car so reckon I earned some of that cider!!

Been to the races today on a hen do, again 2 pints of cider and a few vodka and diet cokes with very little food so just over my points for the day so used some weeklies...

All in all things are going good!! No more alcohol this week for mr tho my liver is crying!!!!

hi suz

i like the comment you made about doin it 100% only one day at a time cos i do become overwhelmed when i look at doin 100% for a long time so will take it one day at a time and keep a food diary

 

[cheekychick81]

Hey!! Precious day off all to myself today! I'm on unpaid placement 9-5 Monday to Friday for my university course and am contracted to 15 hours in local a&e department too plus somehow manage to see my bf who doesn't live in York but luckily I'm on annual leave and he's working so I'm just thinking about getting up now

Trying to decide what to have for breakfast... I guess it will be nearer lunch by the time I'm up and sorted so I'm thinking perhaps something cooked... I LOVE bacon!!

As for how's it going??! GREAT!! Well I think it is... Will see how the scales feel on Wednesday!!!!

Hope everyone has a lovely relaxing Sunday today!! Xx

I like this too... Thank you!! Definately seems a very daunting journey when you look at the bigger picture!! I think filling in my diary is helping too...

Thanks

Pretty busy tho somehow think it kinda helps being busy... Less time to think about food! Then again because I'm working in the city centre when people go out on their lunch I can never resist a pasty or a sausage roll on top of my own lunch... That's all stopped now

In avoidence of essay and report writing I'm stood in the rain at the bus stop waiting to go to Tesco to get something for my tea and lunches this week...

Hope everyone is having a good day!!! Xx
