my weightloss diary

[bacardikim]

hi all i thought i would start a diary of my weight loss my name is Kim and im 38 im married with three lads. my diet should have really started about 3 years ago July 06 when i had a heart attack i was told to change my lifestyle or i would die very young. as you may have guessed i didn't listen to advice and continued to suffer from angina. after having stents fitted 3 times i finally realized i needed to do something about my life so firstly i cut out the smoking the only problem with that was i ate more and put on more weight (big vicious circle) which then caused me more problems (i found out i was now a diabetic) type 2. Ive struggled with my weight for years but now i feel able to do something about it. for the past year and a half i have had uncontrolled diabetes which has caused problems in its own right. since starting weight watchers on the 25th of may my blood sugars have stabilized and i have lost 25 and a half pounds , i am hoping if i keep this diary it will keep me on the right track.

Hiya hun, it's a bit late but welcome to WW. You've done an awesome job so far so keep it up! You remind me a lot of my mum-she has a heart attack around your age, she has angina and an underactive thyroid. You'd think the possibilty of me inheriting these conditions would have meant I'd try to never gain weight, alas that didn't happen!

Good luck with your journey hun, I look forward to reading your diary. xx

oh my god im not happy weigh in today put on 1lb but i cant work out why ,ive done nothing different to any other week its really knocked me for six any suggestions anybody feel so pi***d off.

 

[bear1982]

Please don't be too disheartened! I know it's easy to say but you will have that off again in no time.

I could be any number of reasons why you gained, fluid retention being one of them. How's your fluid intake? Are you eating all your points?

I'll keep thinking but it's a teeny tiny blip. Did your leader say what it might be?

[blackwidow]

post up your food logs for the entire week and then we can have a scout through them? have you done more / less exercise than usual or anything like that? x

 

[*Saski*]

Sorry about your gain my love! I'm sure you will have it back off in no time. Yeh if you post everything you eat we will have a little look. You could always come and join the pedometer challenge too for a little boost. I hope you have a good week and here's to next weigh in xx

Hey love are you planning on eating any more today? Looking at your intake it looks much too low if you aren't planning on eating any more. Maybe this is why your aren't see the results you hoped for. Your body is probably thinking it is starving itself and so hanging on to the things you do eat.

You should never save more than 4 points a day.

I found this really difficult to get my head round to begin with but it really does work. Your points are there to be eaten and so whenever possible you should eat them all up.

So help yourself to a chocolate bar or whatever you fancy xxx

Hiya

Saski is right - WW do not promote eating less than 18pt per day and not saving more than 4 per day......

Maybe up the intake to the allowed level and see what happens ?
