BeckyT's WW Food Diary

[BeckyT]

I joined WW last Thursday after months of thinking about joining but never actually doing it. I got to target in January 2012 after losing 2st 12.5lbs on slimming world. Before my holibobs in March I put 6lbs on and then after my holiday and putting a further 11lbs on I just couldnt get my mojo back and here I am in September right back at my starting weight when I joined Slimming World and as a consequence I have a wardrobe full of clothes that are a size 8-10 that dont fit. I sold a lot of my 'fat' clothes so I have had to buy a couple of items in a size 12-14. I am fed up of wearing the same clothes when I have a wardrobe full of lovely slim clothes

So, enough is enough! I am going to get back to my target weight of 9st 2lbs and I would love to be near the 10st mark for crimbo however i'm not sure how realistic that target is....

After 4 full days on WW the mind talk is starting to creep in about the amount of pp I am eating/drinking so I have decided to start a diary. Feel free to tell me if I have missed something or if I am pointing something incorrectly... I just keep telling myself that if we weren't supposed to have the points the WW wouldn't give them to us otherwise the plan would be flawed?!? :wave_cry:

Well it's Tuesday already and i soooooo dont feel like I have been on a 'diet' however I am worried that I am eating too many of my daily and weekly pp... any reassurance would be most welcome!!!! I just wish Thursday would hurry up and get here so I can get weighed so I can reassure myself and believe in the plan. I suppose everybody is the same at first....

Today's food looks like...

B:
1/2 Grapefruit 0pp
30g porridge 3pp
Milk 3pp

L:
h/m roasted tomato and red pepper soup 0pp
Banana 0 pp

I want to save the rest of my points as I am going to the carvery with my friend tonight and as I wont be able to weigh the meat I wont know how much I am having... I am such a worrier!! Also, i absolutely adore stuffing and again, I wont know how much I am having as I cant weigh it argggggghh! I will count 20pp for my dinner, I wont be having a yorkshire or any potatoes, just meat, veg, stuffing and gravy


Activity:
walking 3.5 miles 5pp
vibro plate 1pp

dailies 26/26
Weeklies 18 26/49
Activity 6, 29 for the week :chores016:

Hi becky
looking through your diet menus they sound great (loving the fact you have included wine) really nervous about having a glass as i tend to drink the bottle!!!!! i may invest in some of them mini bottles......I can see you have used some of your 49, i would also if i was only having 26pp (cant begin to imagine after me being allowed a colossal 50pp) i am going to be def checking out Thursday so fingers crossed for a good result xx

Hi honey!

Oh yes i've counted my wine and lager!! I keep comparing it to slimming world and keep asking myself, am I eating/drinking too much compared to what I was doing on SW?! I know I shouldnt compare the two 'diets'...

I really like the flexibility of ww however tonight when i go the carvery I have saved 20pp as I wont have a clue how much meat and stuffing I have on my plate as I wont be able to weigh it. I'm sure I'll start to relax a bit once I get into it. Roll on Thursday and hopefully the scales will show me to trust the plan!! x

D: Steamed haddock (I need to weigh this once its defrosted so will update later), 150g cooked potatoes (3), still not sure if I am pointing potatoes correctly??? , carrot and swede mash, cauliflower and green beans. Going to make some parsley sauce but not sure how to point it so going to say (4)

I might try and take Alfie to do a couple of laps around the racecourse today if work is quiet. Its just over 2 miles in length so that will be a nice 4 miles today :chores016:

Dailies /26
Weeklies 26/49
AP's 5 today so 34 for the week


I bought some curly wurlys last night which i believe are 3pp so I think i may be having one later tonight with a cup of tea whilst watching the soaps... will update my diary later

 

[sharxx]

Food sounds amazing!!!!! I have read somewhere you can put the curly wurly in the freezer and it lasts longer!!! Def trying that... Mind just put grapes in the freezer as they are suppose to taste fab???? So looking forward to how you have done. Xxxx

Hmmm i think i might have to try that! I've heard about putting grapes in the freezer but I've never tried it x

hiya! i wouldnt worry about using too many points, they are there to be used!... I was 4-5 lbs from goal in november last year ive restarted back with all of my weight back on! I always lost and i used all my dailys and weeklies and sometimes exercise points too. Everyone is different but if you can use them and still loose i wouldnt worry. I have 3.5 inches smaller than yo and my target is the same as yours im thinking maybe i should reduce mine welcome to weight watcher anyway im subscribing x

 

[lauramarlow88]

Hi hun, just found your diary. You're doing fab with your food. Don't worry about using your weeklies, that's what they're there for. I've just started on week 11 of WW and last week was the first time I really dipped into my weeklies by a lot. I only had 16 left at the end of the week, and I managed to lose 4.8lb. So, really have faith in the diet. I used to do slimming world as well and wasn't sure on WW at first but I promise you it does work. The reason I came to WW in the first place was because I found SW too restrictive, and I didn't like that I had to cook pretty much everything (not fun when you've been working 12 hours) - but I absolutely love WW. You'll soon find that it's not just a diet, it's a way of life lol. I know that sounds corny, but it really is true.
Anyway, sorry for waffling on your diary, but if you need any advice, I'm here x

I feel better knowing I'm not the only one that put their weight back on again... I really liked being 9st 2lbs however once I got to that weight and I text my hubby to tell him that I'd got to target he replied back saying well done but that's enough now which really, really isn't like him. a few other people also said that I shouldnt lose any more weight and my next door neighbours were a bit unkind if im honest. Funny thing is I dont think I saw what they saw when I looked at myself in the mirror. So, I wouldnt worry about lowering your target and just see what you feel like when you get back there

Thanks for the reassurance about the weeklies, I really needed it! Hopefully, once I step on the scales tomorrow that will be reassurance enough!!:thankyou:

Thanks for stopping by!

I put off joining WW for quite a while as I thought I would struggle as I work away quite a lot and I will have to best guess the weight of meat in my meals when Im eating out etc however I guess it's like anything else and I will just get used to looking at the portion size of meat and potatoes etc just by looking at them. I wish I'd made the switch sooner as I really like the freedom you have compared to SW. I know ive got about 6pp left after all my meals today so I know I can have some nice treats like wotsits and a curly wurly later tonight!

I've just been looking at your signature and you've done really, really well! Did you have similar loses on SW? I would love to lose 2 stone by Christmas so that I can wear my skinny jeans again but I'm trying not to focus on that toooooo much as I dont want to set myself up for a fall.

Going to have a nosey at your diary if that's ok x

Can I answer that tomorrow?!!!! ha ha! I absolutely love the freedom compared to SW and once I've got used to portion sizes just by looking it will make life a lot easier when I'm working away from home!

Funnily enough the 26 weeklies that I have used were all over the weekend, mainly on wine arty0036:but I dont feel like im missing out on anything!

 

[BeckyT]

i was the same, i still saw myself the same as before... and good luck for tomorrow keep us updated

I look back now and think it's silly as there's no way I can get into my 8's or 10's at the moment but at the time I didn't feel any different! I remember buying a size 8 dress from Asda and taking it to the till and thinking to myself that the woman at the checkout will think to herself, she's never a size 8, who's she kidding!

I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow... I will be watching the hours tick by until 6pm!
