Thanks Girls!!!!:wavey:

I must admit I was hoping for a slightly higher loss, but then I remembered that I hadn't really been dieting the 1st few days, so I am really pleased!!! It's a step in the right direction! If I can lose 2lbs this week, then that will be half a stone and I will of reached my 1st goal!!!

I really felt like snacking today! I also made a mistake with the popcorn and thought it was 1.5 for the bag and after eating half of it realised it was 1.5 for a quarter of the bag!!! So at least I realised before I'd eaten the whole lot. I think I'm going to try and sleep now before I eat anything i shouldn't! lol

Heyyyy..Doing well i see

The New Covent Garden Winter Vegetable Soup is lovely isnt it, although its a strange consistancy i think?

Just wondering...what sweetener are you using? I cant find any i like

x

 

[CookiesnCream]

Hey Ash!
Yeah The CG Soup was nice but I know what you mean about the consistency... a bit strange! And I felt it needed something else, but I wasn't sure what and AGAIN I ended up adding salt! I don't normally add salt to meals but I seem to be adding it to everything at the mo! lol The sweetener I've got at the mo is just Tesco's own make, it's okish. I'm sure I used to have one a few years ago that tasted great but I can't seem to find which one it was.
I'll check in on your Diary in a bit!

Wow the omelette and salad filled me up more than anything else I have eaten over the last couple of weeks. I think I may have omelette's more often! I always presume Carbs will fill me up, but protein seems to make me more satisfied and for a longer period of time. Had a good day and the 'binge feeling' I had yesterday is long gone today!!! Thank goodness!

 

[Xx2009ash]

Hey...i used to like splenda...but then there was this whole big fuss it was bad for you? Idk? lol

Doing great...i love omlettes but im terrible at making them lol..i agree..protein does the trick for me too, carbs make me feel really bloated soon after eating them. Plus my friends BF explained to me about how protein works, seemd to make sence to stick to it lol (hes a body builder btw).

I gotta get back to studying...as you've prob seen I've had 4 tins of red bull to keep me up...ill be up all night at this rate lol

Thanks for the posts girls!!! Today has been yet another day where I've felt like eating loads! I'm fine all day, then it gets to 6 o'clock and all I could think about was 'mmmm... what shall I eat next!' lol But so far I've stuck to my points. And I hopefully won't need to re-post in the morning saying I've had a snack attack! They say it takes 28days to form a habit, so in just over 2weeks time, hopefully I'll be in the 'habit' of eating healthily!!!! We'll have to see!

Well the inevitable diet sabotage happened yesterday (Friday)!!!:cry:
I've been struggling with the 'binge' feeling for a few days now and finally gave in Friday night. I went over, but it's only 1day and can't undo all the rest of the weeks hard work, so I'm not too worried!
On a positive note, I went clothes shopping yesterday and took a size 16 into the changing room. I've refused to buy size 18's and have been squeezing into 16's even though I know I need a larger size! lol And I tried it on and it was quite baggy!!! I ended up buying a couple of dresses and it gave me a real boost!
I last went shopping in November and it really depressed me! The highest weight I got upto last year was 13stone and that was November. I can't believe I am 11st13lbs now!!!!! I really hope I lose more this week!! Weigh in day Sunday!!!!

Well done! Congrats! 3lb is so much! (I aways imagine 3lb of butter)

 

[CookiesnCream]

Thanks Guen!!!

So today hasn't been great foodwise. I have picked and snacked all evening. I really need to start eating more proper meals, so I can cut down on the snacking. Lets see how I do tomorrow! I go out with the Mother-in-law on a Tuesday and we go to a lovely restaraunt that makes yummy omelettes. I had one last week and it really filled me up, so maybe that will keep me full and I won't snack as much!
Anyway todays Diary:

So now that I've worked out all the points, I'm pleasantly surprised!!! At least now I'm on Weight Watchers, if I do have a binge (like I did tonight!) I am binging on low point foods and not sabotaging my diet! And although I did binge tonight, I actually ended up eating ALOT of fruit, so I upped my 5 a day! lol

 

[scattykookie]

So I weighed in and.....

11stone 10lbs

That's a loss of 3lbs!!!
Yay!!!

Congratulations and well done! - and don't worry too much about today - your still within your points and I think we all have days when we "graze" or crave certain things.

Keep up the good work and good luck for the rest of the week.

[Xx2009ash]

Congrats

I seemed to have stopped moving not good but im determained not to go over my points!

Have u been exercising any?

[Elkay]

Congratulations on your 3lb loss - that's great! The great thing about WW is that you can have a bit of what you fancy without having to feel guilty - we all have picky days sometimes. I'm really pleased for you. Good luck for the coming week.

Awww thankyou so much for all your lovely posts! Everyone here is so nice!
Ash, I haven't done any exercise at all! But if my weightloss slows up I will start doing something!
Weight watchers is great... so easy to follow as you really can eat ANYTHING!!!! (So long as it's within your points that is.)

Today has been a total disaster! I am well over my points and seem to be thinking about food constantly!!! I don't understand why the first 8 or 9 days were easy, yet I'm really struggling now! I want to eat everything in sight, even when I'm not hungry! Now is when i would usually give up, but I refuse to let the last 2weeks be a waste of time... I really need to get back on track tomorrow!!! Urgh why do I always sabotage myself???? Anyway, here is the horrendous diary! (Keeping a diary does help and at least I haven't given up altogether!)
