The final countdown diary

[dizzydawnie]

Hello

I've yo-yo'd and dibbled and dabbled and am currently at my heaviest ever!

I did SW for a week last week and put 1.5lb on, which prompted me to not bother anymore but to get stuck in to WW again which is the only eating plan I have ever consistently lost weight with.

I'm starting today but will be wanting to change my weigh in day to Monday, so will restart my 49 counts from then again, but better to start than do my usual putting it off!

I'm allowed 29pp per day. I don't have much imagination so my diary will be a tad repetitive!!

Thursday

B - bigger bowl OSS (4) with 1tsp jam (1)

L - M&S COU roasted vegetable lasagne (10) with additional veg, ML yog (2)

T - salad with M&S lower fat prawn cocktail (8), boiled egg (2) and bag of Velvet Crunch (2)

A - skimmed milk (3) for brekkie and tea, apple, pear, banana, orange. Lots of NAS juice.

Total dailies = 32/29

Weeklies used = 3/49

Edited to say that I put the Santini salad and the fruit salad into the points tracker and they come out at 4 each! I can understand for the salad as it has a sachet of french dressing, but the fruit salad? Can see me having to buy and waste stuff to get rid of the pp :sigh:

thank you both so much!!

So pleased this morning that I have lost 4.25lbs since Thursday (I've changed my weigh in day to Monday which I prefer).

Monday

4.25lbs off since thursday which is very pleasing, so now at 2.75lbs off considering I put 1.5lbs on at SW in my first week! And my weekly points drop to 28.

A bad day for food choice - it is my only night off until Saturday from last Thursday and I am looking forward to a very nice bottle of wine. Been charging around all day so not had much to eat and not got much planned, so already dipping into my weeklies with the wine, but will be sticking at minimal weeklies the rest of the week.

Hello

thank you! Yes I do, simply don't have much time, so plan and shop for 4 days or so in advance. Really getting into stir fry tho at the mo!! So tasty, speedy and satisfying, and make a huge bowl of it and keep in fridge so I have the ready made veg just to chuck in the wok.

Hoping for 2 off tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed for me please! x

That sounds like a well oiled (well frylighted!) operation ! I wish you every luck with WI tomorrow, can't wait to hear how you get on. X

 

[dizzydawnie]

Weigh in day and I have lost a pound, so all in all 5lbs off.

Hoped for more really but I guess I will be slow and steady, and thats fine, as long as it goes in the downwards direction!!

Not got a plan for today - we are going out for a meal tonight, and have looked at the menu on line (its not a chain place) and think I have some decent healthy options available. the problem will be wine!!

Well Done on your 1lb loss, definitely heading in the right direction there! Good Luck with your meal tonight, at least you have a new 49pp allowance! X
