I fell off the bandwaggon.... :( i landed far far away from said waggon and have spent ages trying to get back on it again and kept failing :( A friend took a photo of me at the weekend and i honestly couldnt believe it was me! Cant believe i am this big! I am currently a size 16 (which while i realise it isnt huge, it is massive for me!) So i am now right back on it, which isnt easy considering we have a fridge full of cheesecake samples, but meh... I need to do something about this tummy and hips! :(
CommentAuthorsuzky123
dont worry about falling off as long as you dont stay off.
I went ww today and the scales were flickering between 2.5lbs and 3lbs but settled on 2.5lbs off so got 2.5lbs left to go before I am 9 stone dead on. Really want to be back in the eights so fingers crossed I lose 2.5lb next week.

OMG that is brilliant news. U sure do have motivation there. I nearly lost it today. I was so hungry I couldnt contemplate another bowl of cereal so I nearly had a school dinner. However it was all a bit well meh so i made the sensible decisiion not to blow my points on something that I didnt really crave anyways.... not sure how much longer I can keep up the cereal at dinner thing tho. my classroom is so cold. I will start taking soup in and just hope it doesnt go splat all over the microwave

This thread is reallllllly long. But i get the jist of things. So im wanting to tone up and lose a few pounds. Ive jotted down the whole WW points systems thing, and believe that pro points allow you to have 29 points a day, dont know if this is correct, but some days i eat less than that, and due to being on birth control i put on weight for the fun of it. This time last year i was 8st 2 and size 8-10 in clothes. Im now 10st and size 10-12 on top and size 14 on bottom. Dont get me wrong i do feel more healthier for it, but with the sudden appearance of 'back fat' and my tummy sometimes makes me look like im pregnant, its really frustrating sometimes. I have recently changed my diet, cutting down on caffeine and sugars due to other health reasons. And drink water when im feeling hungry. Ive also purchased Zumba for my xbox kinect but its finding the motivation and time to get up and do it. I thought about joining slimming world or WW but tbh money is really tight at the minute. Is there anything else you ladies can suggest i do, eat whichever?! All advice will be helpful. Aswell as that if theres anyone in Thanet area who wants a jogging buddy or work out buddy im free!

i do WW and yes it is 29 daily points and 49 weekly points for emergencies like meals out etc. I basically eat cereal twice a day because i have no time in work with a yog for break, then around 500-600 cals for my tea with a mini pudd. Some days I only eat 300 cals for tea if I have fish n pots or chicken and pots but I tend not to lose much if I eat this as I think my body goes into starvation mode.

Im not registered with WW suzky so dont have tracker and eating out guide. I jotted down foods and their points on a big pad of paper lol. Dont fancy carrying around paper with me and whipping it out eveytime i eat something. Is there any exercises i could be doing other than Zumba, baring in mind i cant run as i have a foot injury

My age old tried and tested methods include switching from normal tea to green teas and peppermint teas. Definately an aquired taste and i tend to slip back into my normal tea after several months, but i always feel slimmer, less sluggish and have better skin when drinking green teas. Peppermint tea is great for aiding digestion after eating as well.
I have now moved house and am in a 3 storey town house as well, so i got 2 flights of stairs to be running up, might have to start making use of that. I have also got 10 guest passes at the gym i am a member of, so maybe if i can drag someone with me when my motivation is low that might help.
CommentAuthorKimberlee1
i drink peppermint tea most night because i suffer from IBS anyways. I wish i had someone to drag to the time :( my best mate has a fear of leaving her house so looks like i'll have to stick to my zumba

I do like peppermint tea - but I don't drink normal tea anyway We live on the biggest hill - there's 150 steps one way down to the main road or a 1 in 4 gradient the other to get to my car - i keep thinking I should run up the stairs rocky style

did gym today..... no major work out but was on the exercise bike with one of my course books in front of me for revision (got an exam for uni next friday) then my dad met me there and we went swimming and then jumped in the jacuzzi. Was a lovely morning and i have come home to graze on some fruit and salad.

CommentAuthorNatashaParkes
Just wondering about the minimum pro points per day on weight watchers?? im really confused!!! I found a website that told you how to work out how many daily points you are allowed and it goes as follows: If you are female add - 2 If you are aged between 17 and 26 add - 4 Add first two numbers of current weight in pounds - 14 Anyone that is 5'1" to 5'9" add - 1
so that makes my total: 21
Someone on here said the minimum points is 29??
Could you tell me about it please or if anyone has a calculator would you mind working out my daily points please?
Im quite happy to stay at 21 points as I have lost hald=f a stone in 2 weeks :) but if it means I will put it back on when I stop or it will make me ill or anything then ill do the 29.
CommentAuthorsuzky123
the minimum is 29 and 29 also seems to be the standard. I think you are using the old points system. The new one on the foods is pro points and this is the new system we are all using.....29 us the standard and the minimum with 49 weekly ones though they recommend to only dip into those if you really need to.

CommentAuthorsuzky123
if u dont u wont lose weight. I went down to 22/23 and I couldnt lose any and actually gained. Increase them slowly. I never use all 29 but try to make a conscious effort to eat at least 27

Natasha I did the old points system is pro points alot better? Weekends always my downfall too :( x
CommentAuthorNatashaParkes
I never did the old points but the pro points is working for me... i get to eat whatever and if im having something thats fattening i just eat fruit and veg all day to get full up. i know its hard at weekends but like today i had a grilled breakfast of 2 quorn sausages, 2 slices of quorn bacon and a fried egg. ate lots of fruit through out the day and drank lots of water and then had a biig dinner of quorn fillets and vegetables. im not even closse to using all my points and ive had some chocolate. plus i havent felt hungry all day which is good. maybe give it a try cant hurt x

Started my diet on monday past. i want to lose 1 stone, maybe 1 and a half, i'm planning on getting to 1 and seeing how i feel/how the dress fits. So this has been the first week of it. Hasn't been too bad this week still had some chocolate and coke ect but all in moderation. Just cutting down ect not joining any weightloss programme or anything. Weigh in tomorrow so fingerscrossed :)
CommentAuthor1st-time
Future mrs mac, hi, I do ww and i'm a breastfeeding mum. you get additional pro points as you breastfeed so you don't feel hungry. I've lost a stone so far and it hasn't affect milk supply or anything like that. If you did feel hungry you can always eat fruit without it eating into your points allowance. I've got a lot more to go tho :(

I have been back to the gym this morning, still eating my salad...... I am determined to be happy to let h2b take photos of me in my bikini beside the hot tub on my honeymoon!

Hi 1st time - on pro points do you not count fruit?Remember the old one most fruit you had to count but most veg free? That's good you get extra - I always seem to be hungry at the moment! Eaten so most bad food the past week really need to get motivated :(

Still at the 7lbs loss at the moment but really chuffed as saw H2B's grandad on sunday (first time in about 4 months) and (without any prompting) first thing he says to me is "blimey you've lost some weight haven't you?!" ....... WOOOOOO
CommentAuthor1st-time
Hi Future, the old system fruit was pointed but on new system pretty much all fruit is free (but doesn't mean you can eat it all day long lol)
I also find i'm hungry in morning as b/f during evening and night so I tend to use a larger chunk ofmy points in morning that way, i dont snack on crap during day.
You shud give ww a go, you can do a pass and works out relatively cheap, worth a try and see how you feel. x Keep me posted x
