Your food looks really good Chick. Don't be worrying about what the scales say from one morning to the next. I know we can't help but look but the only wi that matters is the one on Friday. My scales showed that I'd put up 3lbs from Sunday evening to yesterday evening for no reason at all...but hey it'll be different again this evening

Good luck with maintaining..can't wait to join you

Thanks hunny I think I would have collapsed if my scales had of said that!!

Food hasnt been too bad but had a white bread roll with my soup instead of the WW bread Plus a couple of snacks!!

Finding it harder this week as I'm off work so just sitting about on my ass!!!

How long till you refeed hun??

 

[Ella Belle]

I'm a bit away yet, I'm going to do a refeed week before Christmas but then stay on 2 shakes a day until I come back to tfr to get to goal. It shouldn't take too long, hopefully by the end of Jan I'll be in WW and a regular member of the maintainers forum

 

[RetailChick]

Whoop whoop Thats not far away at all hun!! You don't have far to go at all babe! I've been reading up on the new WW plan seems really good but struggling to get my head round it lol

 

[Ella Belle]

I'm a massive WW fan so I really can't wait to get stuck in, but it will be difficult to adjust after this I'd say. I think the new plan seems great but caution is definitely needed now that fruits are 0points and there's a weekly allowance. Some people seem to think they have to use the extra points cus they are allowed..that's very dangerous I think. One thing people forget sometimes with WW is the rule to pay attention to 'feeling of fullness'..something that would be very important now with 'free' fruit. Anyway, I'm rambling...sorry..xx

 

[RetailChick]

Yeah whats the story with that weekly allowance? I think I figured out I'm allowed 29 points a day but no idea about weekly or even what they are!!!

A friend of mine lost 2 st on WW the thing about it that confused me is all she ate was "bad" food but still lost weight cause it was within her points- madness!!

 

[Ella Belle]

From what I can gather (and the other maintainers are actually doing WW I think so they may be better placed to give advice..) you have your daily allowance, 29 in your case and mine when I start, and you must eat all 29 points every day. Then you have 49 points every week that you can use if you need to for extras, like if you have a night out or a big meal etc. You can also still earn activity points to use. Previously you could save points per day if you had to plan for a big night etc. so the extra weekly points is a big departure, although I still think they need to be used with caution. I did WW in 2007 and lost a lot of weight and really enjoyed it but I ahve to say I ate very healthily but I definitely saw some people losing who were not doing it in the correct way. I'm not judging them, cus in fairness I put all the weight back on, but the thing with WW is it's great that it allows you to have a treat but that treat should be in moderation. It would be good I think if there was a weekly reccomendation of treat points or something, but maybe that would go against their philosophy.

I'm a fan of WW too. I've been online and ordered the new paperwork, it was about £12. I will definitely be cautious about fruit too as I could easily scoff 7 or 8 pieces a day and I don't see how that can't count as it could potentially amount to 100's of calories! There must be some proviso surely????

I think you are being to hard on yourself chick. Your menu doesnt look bad at all and i can't see why you are about it. I would say introduce some fruit if you are able to and some low fat yogs and even a small meringue nest for a snack and defo make sure you are getting your 5 a day!

The ww thing ... there is 49pro points extra that you are allowed during the week. They can be used either in one big blow out like a 2 bottles of wine and a little food or spread out evenly through the week. They are there to be used and to not make us feel like we are missing out on social situations ... kinda like a fall back.

From the literature ive read on the new system so far (i know nothing of the old) it now encourages people to eat better stuff for us as now things like veg are 0pp and protein is lower in points now than chocolate whereas before i think they had roughly the same points. Ive been on it a week and love it so far

 

[RetailChick]

Thanks girls- that makes sense about the extra points! I've only had 2 night were I've drank since august (wedding and party) as I've been afraid of the weight gain!!! Sandra I'd be concerned too about the fruit and the calories......

Summergurl I did have a banana today just forgot to add it in I think the only reason I'm being a bit hard on myself is I dont have far to go to goal and I'm still snacking!! You'd think I could cut it out until goal but now- frickin no will power!!!

What I was thinking of doing (if I get a bloomin minute) is pointing my whole menu that I've had this week and see how I've done then?? At least I'll know on Friday if it's working for me!! xxx

 

[summergurl]

Go for it chick
I always write everything i eat down and always do a menu for the week ahead - it really does help x
