If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

[UKSerena]

Haha sorry but Serena I have this mental picture of you starkers in your kitchen weighing your clothes and its making me giggle it does stand to reason that if you weighed naked last week and clothed this week your clothes would add weight on. Try to wear the same kind of thing from now on and you'll get accurate results

Luckily I have two very large trees in my front garden which cover my kitchen window, well at least I hope they do?!? I'm going to be going in my shorts and T-shirt next week come rain or shine! X

The mini meringues I got are from Asda. They're in a tub but I'm sure you can get them any supermarket 2 for 1pp yummy!

mmmmmmmm I'm so getting some of those when I next do my Asda Shop! X

Morning hun. Bet your looking 4ward to your little treat 2nite arnt u. Havdm u got any plans 2day chick? Well its day 3 and im so focused its unreal. You wil be proud of me because i havent been on the scales for 3 days now and thats gud for me i used to go on them 3 or 4 times a day. realy cant wait for thursday.x

Morning Sweetie, I'm so proud of you, you seem like you're really in the zone at the moment and I just know you will get the result you deserve on Thursday! I can't wait for tonight for the BGT Treat, it's funny how I never used the Weeklies but now I know I am going to its really exciting, does that make sense? Will update with today's plans once I've worked them out lol x

didnt realise there were different types of ibs? lol belly was bloated everytime i ate. cramps, feeling sick, certain foods do trigger it off i kno that too much bread doesnt help me, fresh pineapple kills my stomach, bananas etc

and wen u boil kettle thats obv very hot water, i always leave it for a while then pour it in a mug n feel it if its too hot i add cold water or just let it cool longer if iv got time then squeeze half a lemon in!!!

There's loads of different types of IBS, the main two are Constipation Based or Diarrhoea Based but then there are versions of those, I have the first type, sorry TMI lol. X My main trigger is definitely Dairy, low fat dairy in small quantities is fine but anything full fat or large quantities and I'm in agony! Before you joined Minimins I wrote a post about how I went out without my skimmed milk and risked a Semi-Skimmed Cappuccino, I was in agony for a good 8 hours after, couldn't even stand up :-( x

well done u i used to do this too on my scales but i cant now anyway because they are dodgy and give me inaccurate readings!!! i weigh in boots in town now every wednesday

Yey you're a Boots (Will)PowerPuff Girl too ;-) x

Thats absolutely brilliant to hear how on it you are.
You really are a (Will)PowerPuff Girl!
You've mixed and matched this week, but if that's what it takes to find the right way for you, then it has to be done and now you can move forward and get to where you want to be.
Very proud of you. Especially for avoiding the scales. It's hard when they're there, but since joining ww meeting, I haven't been on my scales once. I just go with theirs. I am curious as to how different my scales are to theirs though.
X

Don't do it Emma! You are doing so well you don't need anther set of scales in the equation! X

I think its more exciting when you just go on them once a week for your official wi. Also weight does fluctuate so if it was higher 1 day then it puts a downer on your day.x

Totally agree with this as your weight can fluctuate as much as 2.2lbs in one day so once a week WI at same time with same routine is very important! X

I Have havent i but at least i found my thing on thursday. Dont be tempted to c how your scales match up with your normal ones coz you could very well end up having a sneaky peak. I Am holding out for thursday its more exciting.x

I'm so excited for you for Thursday but that also means I will be closer to my WI, scary stuff! X

Good Morning Sweeties

I've finally caught up on everyone's diary and am ready to update mine

I had two random slices of 400g Bread to use up so I had those for my Brekkie with Chive Philadelphia rather than my usual 800g Bread, don't like wasting food! That was 5pp instead of the usual 6pp plus 1pp for my Skimmed Milk.

My friend is coming down from Manchester today and I've invited her to lunch at mine, just been planning the menu and decided on Veggie Stirfry, Rice Noodles for carbs, Quorn Chicken Pieces for Protein and Blackbean Sauce for Flavour. I'm going to walk to Sainsbury's to get my supplies as I'm not obviously doing a School Run over the weekend and then meet her and walk home. If my calculations are correct from the Sainsbury's App and they have everything in stock, lunch will 'cost' me 9pp.

I will make sure I take a pic and hopefully I can update before BGT starts tonight.

Hope you all have a fab Saturday Sweeties. X

One time I weighed myself on my home scales right before my WI at the meeting and my scales were just under a lb lighter.

I'm watching BGT tonight too! I bought a ww raspberry cheesecake, 2 in the box at 5pp each. Going to have one of those after tea.

I'm definitely making better choices, for example in morrisons yesterday I was hunting for a meal for tonight and I picked up what I ate before starting WW which was a penne pasta bolognese bake and one of those meals for one person was 17pp! I put it back and picked up a NuMe cottage pie for 8pp.

I'm so proud of you Sweetie, a saving of 9pp for a meal which will probably still fill you up the same! Plus 9pp is nearly 2 cheesecakes ;-) x

Don't worry, I'm not going on my scales. I'm just curious about the difference, but not actually tempted to go on them.
As Trina said, it's exciting waiting all week to get on them and seeing your current weight.

Before starting ww I tried to weigh just once a week, but it usually turned out to be 2 or 3 times a week haha.

And Sarah, that's brilliant. Some of those ready meals are a "fortune" when it comes to points. I don't put anything new in my trolley until I've pointed it and decided if it's worth it.

 

[ununpentium]

Yeah it just goes to show how calorific some of those meals are!

I've never been able to weigh myself just once a week but ive got it down to a couple of times a week rather than every day.

It's good that You are gradually weaning yourself down, maybe one day you will be down to once a week? X

Good Afternoon

My friend just left so I thought I would catch up on everyone and then update my diary so here I am

I didn't end up walking to town as I didn't feel well :-( I did get my bits in Sainsburys and walk home though.

I stuck to my original plan of Mushroom Stirfry (0pp), Rice Noodles (5pp), Quorn Lamb Style Strips (2pp) and Black Bean Sauce (2pp). It was super tasty and really filled me up!



Have decided on a Dominos Small Veggie Supreme Pizza (24pp) and 750ml WW White Wine (12pp) tonight, will be a total of 36pp but I have only used 5pp+1pp+9pp so far today so 11 of my 36 will come out of my dailies and the remaining 25pp will be from my Weeklies.

Will report back with a pic of my Dominos and Wine later to make you all jealous ;-)

Hope you're all having a fab Saturday Sweeties. X

Hope you enjoy your meal.
We're off out to the homemade burger company tonight for dinner. They don't have calories values on their online menu, but googled it and it looks like a chicken burger is 16pp and a
apportion of chips is 12pp or onion rings for 6pp.
I've got 22 points left for today, so hopefully that will cover my meal.
If not, I've got 22 activity points so far and then my 49 weeklies if need be.

Hope you enjoy your meal, I've never heard of that place, is it like GBK? You've got plenty of PP with your Dailies, Weeklies and even Activities to use. X PS-I love Onion Rings lol. X

i totally agree!!

x

oh i have the first type too!! and i always have skimmed milk anyway x

Something else we have in common! People always turn their nose up at Skimmed but I think it tastes fine in everything, Blue Whole is just like pouring cream in your drink, yuck! X

i do that haha stand there randomly in the middle of asda etc typin in the nutritional info on my calculator betta than eatin it n realisin after its totally bust ur points!!

I will never eat something without working out the PP, would rather go without! I also won't eat something unless I've weighed it out, think its probably the OCD creeping in! X

haha im not sure what to have to eat yet! i may end up with a pizza x

Homemade or Takeaway? Is it cos you can't face drooling over my pizza lol x

I Think im abit piddled!!!

Don't you go blowing Day 3 Trina! I'm watching you! X

I'd not heard of it either, but online it's saying its similar to gbk. Never been to gbk so wouldn't know.
And yeah, I've got 22 dailies, 23 activity and 49 weeklies.
And right now I'm saying sod it.
I had a 40pp thai meal a few weeks ago and still lost 2lbs. I'm gonna have a BBQ, cheese & bacon burger and half a portion of chips (apparently the chips portions are huge) and I don't care if I go over my dailies because I blooming want it and I'll be back on plan tomorrow and the rest of the week. Plus I've still got an aquafit session, 3 gym sessions, body tone class and body combat class before weighing in again. One night off won't hurt. Hopefully. Haha. And if it does, then I'm gonna need you all to pick me up again haha

 

[trinab]
