Hey, yeah we are quite similar! I was at 9st 2 pretty much all year despite being half heartedly on weightwatchers then started losing weight in like Sept/Oct! Lost about 8lb but have put on a bit with Christmas!

I have no idea what I'll look like at 7st 11, I was just aiming for a bmi of 20 but I could decide I'm happy at a higher weight so just gonna see how it goes really!

The points for our weight used to be 29 daily and 49 weekly, last year they changed it to 26 daily and 49 weekly but I find that pretty hard to stick to so I generally try to do the 26 daily and 70 weekly (which would be the extra 3 points a day up to 29 x 7 days = 21. 49 +21 =70). It just works better for me cause I tend to go out a couple of times a week and so need lots of points for the weekend! But really I just mess around with the points to make them suit me and it has worked!

I have been a disaster for last few weeks with all the Christmas madness but when I go back to work and start eating normally and losing again I'll start posting my food! Good luck :)

Oh yes i see what you mean. the 26 would be impossible for me to stick to. I am always hungry. I am doing the 29 each day and need every bit of it and using between 5 and 7 of the 49 points every day on my treat, so we are doing more or less the same. It is for me trying to eat healthier, i get so down when i see the rubbish i eat. People always asume we are happy with our weight because neither you or i are overweight as such.... I'm probably much older than you, and i have 2 children. I have them eating healthy too with last few days. I hope i can keep it up. I must go for walks with the dog when the children get back to school. You are doing really well, but do you spend alot of your points on sweet things????

Oh I'm always hungry too! I find that after a few days of being back on plan that my stomach shrinks and I'm not as hungry though, but those first few days are def the hardest!! I know what you mean about the perception on weight loss, sometimes I feel stupid obsessing over losing another stone when I'm already a healthy weight but why not if I will feel better! ha I do spend a lot of my points on sweet things, but mainly alcohol! I am hoping to cut down on both in the new year although I have a big bag of leftover Christmas choc that I'm gonna pace out over the next few months and allow myself a little bit with some tea at work or with coffee at the weekends if I'm studying in the mornings. My biggest downfall is after work when I can just go mad and eat everything so need to work on that!!!
 
1st day of post Christmas diary! For last few weeks I have been following weightwatchers - trying to stick to maintenance points for 6 weeks now but have been going quite high over even them so I'm not surprised to be starting back with a gain from my lowest hit weight of 8st 10.25 to 8st 13.75 - 3.5lb gain in total over the Christmas season!!!!! :( Last year I lost the exact same 8lbs from Oct to Dec and put on a similar amount over Christmas and then gave up cause was so annoyed and frustrated and ended up hovering between 9st 2 - 9st 5 all year until Oct then lost the same 8lb! So I am NOT waiting until Oct this year!!!!!!!!!

This will be a tough year though, I have major exams on top of a full time job which means my life is pretty much study and work which is stressful so long evenings sitting at the kitchen table studying after a days work means I end up eating all the choc in the kitchen as a treat! Only saving grace is that I only really have time to go out once a week and am gonna be cutting down on the alcohol. Unfortunately this weekend looks very busy with social events Fri, Sat and Sun but if I don't start now I never will!!!!!!

Sorry for the rant :) Will post the diary later, currently studying before work and eating fruit!
 
Friday 04/01/2013 8st 13.75lb

Definitely not the best start by a long shot but I said I'd start writing here again so here goes......

Breakfast:
apple, peach, pear, grapes 0

Lunch/Dinner:

Dominos medium pizza (1/2 hawaiian, 1/2 meaty) 6 slices- guessing at 6 points each.. :( 36
1/2 panini 6

Snacks:
Roses 3
Milka choc 1

Total: 46 points.

I am trying to stick to 24 dailies this week with 84 weeklies (being the dif of 29 points and 24 = 5 x 7 days = 35 + 49 regular weeklies = 84. I am also carrying forward 54 points that I 'overspent' last week because I haven't done this in like 2 months and I think it's my downfall, starting each week afresh isn't helping! I am hoping that by carrying forward it will stop me eating so much.

So after all that complexity I am now 24/24 dailies and 77/84 weeklies. Have 2 family occasions next 2 days, eeeeeek!
