I'm just really peaved. I know there was a mishap with me using my points etc but I just can't help but feel dissapointed. Mostly in myself for binging this morn, and because I have been easily shifting pounds at a time with sw recently so didn't expect THAT small- I honestly though 2lbs atleast.
Iv one more WI before hols and am running the risk of not getting under target now, thus putting a downer on my hols.
So upset with myself.

Now just hold on there one minute missey, Do not let not loosing the right amount of weight ruin your holidays-thats becomming obsessive. I dont know what you pre holiday target was/is but a couple of pounds in either direction will not show up on the photo's
You have done fantastic to date and dont have much more to go-DO NOT GIVE UP-and that's an order

I'm at target starlight, plus 1.5lbs so wanted to be target minus 3lbs!
It was only a few weeks ago I lost 6lbs in a week. Followed by 2.5lbs and then another 2lbs, .. Iv been up and down since, with events and meals out etc, but have been shifting 2lbs a time atleast when giving it a proper go?!
Thanks for the support guys x

:whoopass: Youre 1.5lbs over target and youre stressing about weigh ins? You should be so damn proud of yourself of what youve achieved. When youre at goal the way you are its not unusual for losses to slow down or stop. Relax, enjoy what youve accomplished and this weeks loss

im sorry for ranting guys..
iv woken up this morn, and im re-assessing the situation.. yes you are all perfectly right about my holiday and my weight etc i guss i just really wanted it, and didnt let my self appreciate all the factors involved.
since being at target my weight has become very sensitive..i have been loosing pounds at a time with slimmingworld when iv needed too with no proplem, (i mean 6lbs in aweek is amazing! that was double my first weeks loss!) but equally i gain 5 or 6 lbs in a week no prob so have been worrying about going away a few lbs over target, because when i come back, il be facing anything from 4lb bs upwards, and didnt want to face that on top of whatever i had to loose before i went!
reasons for smaller loss:
1. i didnt use my full allowance of points.
2. i didnt use the knowledge of healthy eating i already have to make better choices and make more from scratch.
3. i ate too much white bread/bread, thinking it'd be ok..but this ALWAYS hinders my weight loss, so will avoid this week.
4. i saved too many points and didnt use my earned activity points.
5. i favoured ww and other low poonted treats maybe a little too much.
6. i didnt listen to my body when i didnt want anything just to use poonts? (not sure what to do about that?)
7. i stressed over it in the last fews days and i know i loose best when i completely relax with it.
8. i semi-binged the nite before and completly binged the morning of WI, the n didnt eat all day!
Actions for the week.
1.RELAX
2. focus on learning portion control, learning my bodys hunger signals and listening to them.
3. eating properly, no more unnecessary snacks, proper meals -not canned soups and micro meals (gag),
4. weighing and measuring with extra care!
5. saving treats for the evening
so here i go, one more week, one more WI, i weigh 9stone 10lbs now, so 1.5lbs back to target. Thats all were aiming for now.

Fern....you are so sensible and wise beyond your years. I am so pleased you have woken up this morning and re assessed the situation.
I understand your concerns about gaining a few pounds on your hols and wanting to be a couple of pounds under your target in order to accommodate this but you need to relax a bit now. Being at target isn't about stressing to lose more lbs in order for you to gain it back. Being at target isn't about being at a number on the scales and staying there. It is neigh on impossible to stay at an exact weight. You just need to keep an eye on things and if you gain a couple of pounds, concentrate on getting them off again before those couple of pounds turn into a stone!
Being at target IS about relaxing, enjoying yourself, and looking back at how well you have done.
Now go away and have a flipping good time and just don't pig out on cream teas

THURSDAY
1 kellogs fibre plus 1.5 points
1 apple 0.5 points
1 eatsmart chicken salad sandwhich 4.5points
low fat colslaw 30g 0.5 points
cherry toms 0 points
100g cherries 0.5 points
chilli con carni 5points
60g brown rice 3 points
100g vlf natural yogurt 1 point
ww choc dessert chilled 1 point
17 points used today.
im still feeling quite poorley, my tummy is proper sensitive, im windy with the occasional nausia. I was aiming for 18points, mainly because iv been SO innactive today. Tomorrow i'l be aiming for 22 as il be working so my activity levels up my daily allowance. I hope im doing the right thing!
Things iv done well today: i weighed everything correctly
I resisted pringles when the wife came over and ate them in front of me!
I managed to identfy when i was emotionally hungry (somthing i can only describe as a very strong want to have somthing in my mouth that is instant and gives me an achey sensation in my jaw?!) and activly take controll of it.
I used my points more wisley for things i know keep me fuller for longer.
i had a filling, yummy tea of a decent portion. All counted.
I folloed through on my action plan by saving my 'treat' for the evening.
Things i could have done better:
I could have gotten off my lazy arse and been more active. (more than just sofa to fridge!)
I could have made an effort to make a 'homemade' lunch than use a packeted sandwhich.
Overall i think my day has been good and i feel positive about my use of points and the self discepline to avoid another binge .

Well appart from feeling poorly sounds like a very good day to me. It does look like you've had more filling foods, and dont worry about the pre packed sandwich-that's one of the things that I think WW has over SW, it's easier to fit in ready meals and pre-packed sandwiches if and when you need to. Just my opinion of course.
Anyway hope tomorrow is just as good-better even if your tum has settled. Good luck for the weekend, I' away for a few days and wont be worrying about any diet !!! LOL

Hi jaylou.
Having some time off atm, have put on a fair bit of weight already, and although it is bothering me I'm away in cornwall atm so will be making the most of it- however I'm looking forward to getting back on plan on monday. My heads been a mess recently- but I'm getting there slowly. By the time I get home I know I'm going to be ready. Whatever the scales say I will deal with it and even if its just a lb a week, I'll get it off again. I'm pretty good at guestimating my gains and I think once I'm back at class I'l have 10lbs to loose, a shame but I'll deal with it.
Currently sat in truros A&E ... Joes legs swollen up after a bite! I'm knackered! So much for a relaxing holiday! Lol

Hello all!
Oh how i'v missed you guys.
Im back from my long weekend and my general break from sw/diets.
Iv gained a fair bit of weight already, around a stone- but that will be confirmed at fatclub official weigh in on wednesday night.. but im back on plan from tomorrow and i genuinly feel ready to give it my all and get back on track.
I wasnt really ready and couldnt get my head in gear before, and although i wish i had as my weight gain may not have been so severe, what can i say- its all a learning curve and im ready now. Although i have events coming up, during the time i was loosing my weight i never let anything stop me and i continuesly lost weight no matter what.. it was sheer determination that alowed me to do it.. so i know i can do it again. Target allowed me to be complacent and easily swayed, but knowing i have a big chunk to lose again (and the way i feel about my body) i can already feel that motivation and i know i can do this.
As you can tell from my new diary title(and the new thread in general) Im now a bride to be! My Joe proposed this w.e and of course i said yes. I cant wait, and although our wedding is four years off.. the dream of our cornish wedding is my main motivation.. aswell as my health and happiness and wellbeing.
Iv planned my meals and im off to asda in the morn.
Wish my luck ladies and gents, i know i can do it now!
Please though, il need your support. So do stick with me. xxx
