hey sona.

hope you dont mind ive been reading your food diary & am baffled about the scales not moving downwards for you as you seem to be a saint when it comes to sticking to points! im new to weight watchers but definitely not new to dieting in general & after reading your diary i have a few suggestions (hope you dont mind again!) firstly you could try varying your exercise a bit, steppers & the wii are great for toning up etc but for the weight to drop off i found cardio was vital! eg. power walking, jogging, cycling. im not sure what level of fitness your at but you could just do 10 minutes a day & gradually build it up by 5 minutes each week. it really should make a difference (im training to be a fitness instructor in october! ) secondly earlier on in your diary i saw you mentioned that you do eat veg dont put it in your diary because its zero points. you mentioned potatoes which unfortunately do have points (100g 1pt) not sure if your aware! & lastly about the dodgy scales, rather than wait to WI at the doctors, boots chemists usually have a weighing machine which tend to be very accurate. hope i havnt caused any offence or anything just wanted to help you out as i know how frusterating it can be when the scales arnt budging! good luck, katie x

Hi Katie-
first i appreciate all the help i can get that is the reason i post on here for someone to tell me if im going wrong or suggest something diffrent so no offence at all taken!!

I agree with exercise i dont get a chance to get OUT to exercise due to work and family commitments but i am going to start going for an hour walk every sunday when I am off work and tak emy baby out in the buggy too. along side the wii and stepper.

I noticed the mistake with the potatos i know it has points was just too lazy to edit the post!! lolz i need to up my veg i know i did start to have home made veg soup but then made cauliflower soup and i LOVED it so have been making that more often! Time to get some frozen veg in to make some stir frys i think!

I used to weigh in at boots scales, but wasnt always able to go on an empty stomach but may incorporate this in to my walk on a sunday! Actually bought my digital scale for £50 so that i coud do this at home!! :-(

thanks!

ok thinking about work meal alternatives to cut BACK on bread.

Tuesdays - frittata with salad
Wednesday - Jacket potato with 1 filling (cot cheese / cheese / tuna mayo / colslow) no butter.
Thursday - Grilled chicken , Steamed veg, sauce
Friday - Quorn burger (1 bap a week) with snack a jack, ww yogart
Saturday - IM OPEN FOR IDEAS.

Friday and saturday i work late shift so will need a lunch and a dinner idea.

Please help!

 

[Aaleigha]

Well you could make a different fritatta with different veg and some ham/chicken in and herbs its such a versatile option

what about taking homemade soup into work if no way of heating it take it in a flask

 

[mommyB]

ok i'm going to ask a really awkwad question here-your food diary looks fine so are you being absolutely honest with yourself about what you are having? i dont mean any offence but i know from my own experience how easy it is to forget the odd little thing here and there which can add up.

The only thing i can spot in your diary is bread. I'm not sure about ww bread but normal bread is 1 pt for 1 slice but 2.5 for 2 slices. now it may be only half a point but if you were having several slice a day over the week could add up. sometimes its the little things that make the difference.
you also mentioned water intake, but i couldnt see if you kept it up, again i always plan to drink plenty and then dont but it does make a difference when i do.

Please dont give up, keep going i have known people 'stick'for weeks and then for no apparent reason the scales start moving-our bodies are strange things

Hi mommy!

ww bread is 1/2 point per slice. And yeh i think normal bread is 2.5 per slice so i may have had hidden points there! i didnt know! and now i do!

I stick to what i have planned to eat and if i eat a nibble i point it and write it down!! im totally honest in my intake!! as you can see i try to have snacks instead of nibbles! as they are easier to point!!

I drink 1.5Lof water 5 days a week at work and as much as i can on my days off .. but probs not enough on my days off! i write this in my paper diary duno why i havent put it on my online one!!

I have done low carb before and it did work then stopped working so maybe cutting back on bread may help also im goingt o up my veg and exercise a bit and see if this makes MAY my month!

 

[mommyB]

sounds like you have all bases covered. good luck and dont give up!!

 

[sona1980]

i refuse to give up!

ww is just gona have to work or i'l die trying!
