FUNCURLS FOOD DIARY, BLOG and CHIT CHAT!! New target set!!

Yeah, it'll be that hon. Sometimes I think it all depends where we are in our * week, as to how much it can affect you. I know once I'm a day in, I'm fine, but incredibly bloated beforehand. Mines due too, and with a weekend at my mum's coming up, I'll be very happy with a maintain.

Yeah, I am pleased this week. I stuck to plan, 90% of the time, and tried to do a first week. I also did 2.5 hours on my Wii Fit and Just Dance, so maybe that helped? I dunno! I'm trying to stick to it the same this week, as obviously the weekend food will be out of my hands. As I say, I'll be happy with a maintain and then the following week, I'll start working towards that new shiny red Christmassy sticker!:)

Sounds like you're feeling really positive and having a healthy attitude towards it all!!XXXXX
 
How are you finding it? Have you got your head around the new system then?XXX

Really great, feel far more at ease knowing I've measured my food :cool: I know for most that is a bore but I need the boundaries put firmly in place lol
The science behind the points have changed and makes total sense.....not based on cals now its all about protein/fibre/fat/carbs. Foods with high ( bad ) fat and carbs will have a higher points value as our bodies just take what it needs and flushes it out however foods high in protein and fibre are lower points as out bodies take far longer to process them making them so so much better for us. Thats my understanding of it all and makes sense to me :D
I think those used to old WW plan might find the move harder though but as I haven't done the old plan for 3 years or so I've taken it as a completely new start :)
How you keeping?....have any exciting outings etc coming up
