Thanks! I was just feeling a bit deflated but I see now that 51/2 over two weeks is good! It's just that I know that when I'm on my period I 1. Bloat and retain water and 2. Am always late by about a week. So I'm due this week and I feel like I needed a bigger loss to help me through this inevitable 'period' in my weight loss. It happens every time.Clothes don't fit, then I have it and I like shrink! I hate it :cry:I'm just going to try really hard with my eating and get some more exercise. Have the week off work, but going to try and get up and about most days! I do feel more in control. Had some chocolate last night and it was worth the wait hehe!
Off to see the nurse this morning!Hoping it can be sorted easily! Sorry for being negative! I was just tired!

Thanks!
I guess I just felt like I needed a bit more off before...'the bloat' lol. Now it seems I'm due next week and then I just feel like the next 2 weeks are going to be putting on and i haven't lost much. But as my mum says, time and patience and it WILL pay off. If you're good eventually it will show! so keep on keeping on! Hehe!Went to the nurse this morning. She was really happy to see me again, as i was there every day we became chumy and it was soo lovely! I got my dressings and the pharamacist says they will be delivered in at 5pm today! wahoo! It's a nice quiet day at work! Have a banana, ww cookie bits, small pot of custard and a coconut whip for lunch. I don't feel like much. I have gone off the idea of sandwiches every day. All that bread makes me feel stogy, but I don't know what to replace it with in my lunch! i like wheaten bread, but don't know where to get it over here. (norm my auntie and uncle bring it from n.ireland) i'm sure you can get it! *sigh* Having a ww meal tonight.
I am going to a wedding tomorrow. I am going to eat the dinner cos I can't really say 'hey, what's the points of this gravy' but I will do my best to refuse extra unnecessaries! I was thinking about doing kick start for the remaining days till Thursday. Think I need a boost, mentally as well! Something to focus on!
Anyway! best go do some work! yay I'm so happy!

hey hun,
make sure u enjoy that meal you've got to live!! otherwise whats the point in losing weight anyway if you don't have a bit of fun now and then!
My aunty has lost 6 stone on weightwatchers and anything she has that will be a lot of points like a doner kebab or anything she just counts as 7! burger and chips, pizza, wine- 7points!its not like she has them all the time it just sort of helps her mentally if she counts it as something rather than not knowing and thinking she's blown it so she mite as well carry on eating! Does that make sense? lol I'm rambling sorry xxx

That sounds sensible! I can only think of 1 time in my life I've lost weight healthily! I've never lost loads but I've had months where I hardly ate, and then ate loads. Now that I'm on this I feel like when my mum says "shall i make you potatoes, chicken burgers, and beans, it's only... 10 points" and works it out, I still feel like it's too much. I know if it's within my points I can, but I find that hard. Some days are easier than others! I've done a lot of eating and then feeling guilty in my life, so I never feel like I'm doing quite enough. Yeah, I plan to eat at the wedding and then cut down on my points to do kick start for the rest of the week. I'm off work so I can spread my food out more at home. Got lots of choice, as can't really bring things like cake slices and carrot cake to work cos they aren't wrapped. Thanks for your support
I ramble too! yayayay!!! fellow rambler, i salute you.

Thanks. Marking this point as the time I've given up 1000 times in the past, and waving it by ! hehe! Onwards and downwards. lol.

Hahaha its good to ramble I think. I know what you mean about the eat-guilt cycle but I think I'm a bit warped. When I'm completely 'off it' (the diet i mean not off my head lol) I don't feel one bit guilty about the crap I'm eating. But then when I'm 'on it' I feel guilty if i eat all my points so I always try and have at least one less. It's strange really.

Well, I'm on 10 1/2 points at the moment. Get 23 a day. Dinner will be about 6. Hmmmm. Lol! I think I might as well start kick start kick start today...and then have tomorrow as a day I can't really count then carry on with it. I get full so much quicker these days. I'm packing up the office at the moment, because we are moving buildings. It's all a bit manual and i feel more active so that's good too.
yeah, I get like "i'm never going to lose weight so eat and eat and eat"...and then when i am seriously doing ww i feel like eating as much as you can with your points must be wrong. lol. Even though it works, I feel like I'm giving myself too much!

Hi Ruth
I'm on 23 points at the moment and, what I do if I have a day where I can't count points easily and know I'm going to go over by quite a bit, I have the rest of the week on 19 points a day.
I did that to sort myself out between coming back from my hols and my WI and it made the difference between having gained 6lbs (as I had when I popped on the scales when I got home) and only having gained 1lb on my official WI day.
Mind you, I'm back on 23 points now after having 19 a day for 4 days and I don't know what to do with them all lol.

Is the whole guilt of what you can eat when counting points - its amazing what you can have! ohad a chicken korma last night with white rice and some potatoes and that was only 9 points, and it was so big i didnt finish it! unreal - thats why i love WW!
Dont give uo though, this diet works, hell look at sandy, shes a walking ad for them! gaining that odd half is pretty common when your on hunni so dont get upset.

Thanks! I'm not 'on' yet. I was just worried because I've only lost 5 1/2 and the 2 weeks when i'm due/late/on I bloat SO much...and that's the next 2 weeks to come. I was just worried that what i've lost could be gone because of it. I get so annoyed with it, since I was on the pill a few years ago my cycle is just messed up! I'm not as worried now, I am confident that even if it does affect it, it won't affect it long-term,if i stick to it.
Yeah, I just had a mars ice cream for 4 points.It was delicious and within my points. No guiltyness! hehe!

Hey all! Hope everyone's doing ok!
So I had the wedding yesterday. it was really really nice,although the whole food thing was very difficult because everything was so spaced out and there was a LOT of waiting around. I found it very difficult. By the time food was served I felt sick. I then began to feel REALLY sick and as I was being driven back to the train station I thought for sure I was going to be sick in my friends car. I had to sit on the platform still and quiet and miss a few trains before I felt like I could make it home. It took about an hour and then my dad picked me up! Kind daddy.
It was a really really nice wedding, lovely to see such a special friend get married, but I really couldn't cope with travelling and then not eating till 4.30. They had ice creams for the wait while photos taken but it rained so there was even more waiting. I had a smarties one, out of all of them it looked the least bad. I had to have it otherwise I would have keeled over.I looked up, it was 4 points. Not too bad. Then dinner was pork, potatoes, vegetables. It was nice. Then I did have pudding. But overall, I think the day could have been a lot worse. I came home and began to feel much better. I think it was just a combination of my body being out of the cycle I've got it in with eating/drinking. I drunk one glass of bucks fizz, which probably did NOT help at all. It was a lot of driving fast along country roads as well.
I actually weighed myself when I got back, not in a negative way, I was just intrigued. I actually weighed less than I had that morning. Maybe stress to the body? lol. I feel fine about the day and just taking thing easy. Had a nice healthy dinner today, and just going to be careful for the rest of the week!

I think the fact I can eat 'treats' is what keeps me on the straight and narrow. I love knowing if I want chocolate I can have it, if Im taking Emma out I can eat at McDs or BK with her totally guilt free. I think thats why something like a VLCD wouldnt work for me.
Just DO keep to your points, its the only way to keep things working

Yeah, you're totally right. It means a lot more to me when I eat it within my points as well.I feel controlled and motivated. I've learned to eat food a lot slower and savour the taste! Thanks Starlight!!

It's my week off work so I don't have the same routine that I love at my office. But, my mum needed photographs done so we've had 2 walks out today to various shopping places to do that. So that was nice. Feel good that been out and about.
Good thing about being off work is that I can go to Tesco tonight with mum & dad. Am taking points calculator with me and off to see what I can find!! Was in iceland this morning, nearly died when i found out how many points chicken kievs are. But it really is good for ww food I've found.Not expensive at all! I'm feeling good, a bit worried that my dueness is going to make me balloon up, but taking it as it comes!
Am still loving the pick n whites. And the coconut whip's from the meetings are gorgeous!!! I really feel like things have clicked now. I was saying this morning, when I worked at odeon I wore the black trousers i'm wearing at the moment, and I had trouble fitting a lot in the pockets but now there is SO much room! Comfy trousers hehe!
