Still not feeling 100% so stayed in bed till 12.30pm this afternoon!! The antibiotics have started to kick in so I am feeling a bit better.

Woke up this morning feeling awful, my chest is really achy and I really didn't feel too good at all, so I decided to not go to work and went back to sleep, only to wake up at 11.30am! I guess I needed the sleep!

As the day has gone on I have felt really sick because of the antibiotics so I haven't eaten much at all.

I'm really not enjoying WW, I don't know whether it's because I am ill and have low tolerance levels but I just don't think it suits me, I've not been eating as much veg or fruit as I would usually do. I will see if it has paid off on the scales tomorrow but as * week has begun, I'm not too optimistic.

I am going to try another week of WW when my routine is normal (i.e. when I am back at work) and see how I get on next weeks WI.

Just a quick update, after 1 day of SW, 1 day offplan and 5 days WW I have to report a loss of 1.5lb!!! That means that I am now down to 10st 9lb which is the lightest I have been in ages!! I am sooo chuffed and am now more inclined to try another week of WW to see if a full week makes a difference too!!

 

[Kater-tater]

Well done!

 

[SaraC]

Well done!

Thanks Katie

Ahhh thank you Allie , I am actually quite enjoying it now, it's making me think differently about the reasons I probably didn't lose as well on SW (too many carbs!) and it is teaching me that I don't have to have carbs for every meal!!

I made a huge pan of Spicy BNS soup last night so I am going to have that for lunch and I am saving up 4 pts a day as we have a Halloween party to go to on Friday.

How are you doing back on SW? Did you get the leak in the ceiling sorted?

Not very happy, WI this morning and put on 1lb so back up to 10st 10lb which is the weight I have been stuck at for ages. Going to try another week of WW and see how I get on next week. Might have to call target at this weight and just go back on to SW to maintain.

I wanted to lose another 10lb before Christmas but that doesnt look as if it is going to happen :break_diet:

 

[Kater-tater]

I would give it another week on ww if you dont mind it and see what next week brings, if then nothing is looking good for you then maybe it is time to stop and to maintain. i hope that it all starts moving in the right direction for you again soon x

Thanks for dropping by Katie. I am just so frustrated because I am being so good and I always record everything I eat, it just feels like my body just wants to stay at this weight which isn't even classed as underweight!! Arghhhhh!!! I don't mind doing WW, infact I am quite enjoying it!!

I would go back to daily points and avoid 'banking' and using them on the one day How are you doing with exercise? I think we are at the same point, I'm also stuck but I really do think that I need to up the exercise

If your enjoying it then stick at it.

BTW: remember last week I said about the pointing that if you have two of something the values may not be the same as one doubled? so like your bread is 1 pt each but you are eating two, so therefore it goes up to 2.5.

Hiya Allie,

Thanks for stopping by I have been told by my friend who is a WW Leader that you can "legally" bank 4 points a day towards a special occasion, it just so happens that I have had them this week & last week

I don't get to do any exercise as I leave the house every work day at 7am in the morning and don't get back in until 6.30-7pm and then have to put baby to bed, tidy up, have tea etc. The only time I do exercise is on a Friday when I do a lot of walking with the pram. I have bought some Zumba DVDs but with me being so ill lately I haven't had the energy

Well I am off to a Halloween Fancy Dress Party with a bottle of vodka (only 0.5 pts per measure) and Diet Coke!! I may put some pics of the fancy dress up on here tomorrow.

Hope you have a nice evening

 

[SaraC]

I haven't updated my diary since Friday because I have let myself go a bit off the rails (within points though!) as I was so pee'd off about my weight gain I just thought sod it!! If I can be good and not loose then I will be "bad" and see if that does any good haha!!
