[tinyshoes]

Thursday 12th March - ok back to it after yesterday's 'blip'! Feel like I haven't had a very good week this week haven't done alot of exercise (haven't had time!) and then with yesterday's Pizza and hot chocolate episode I'm feeling pretty negative right now....also seeming to be struggling with only 19 points a day! Time to try making the 0 point soup I guess (no I still haven't dared try it yet!).

Breakfast:
Oatsosimple original with milk (I'm hooked on this now!) 3

Homemade oven chips from 200g potato 2
3 tbsp baked beans 1
Dessert: WW choc eclair 1.5

Snack (had loads of things delivered from WW today - cereal bars, toffee bars etc and I TRIED not to have one but I couldn't resist they are soooo nice, luckily I managed to not have one of each type like I was tempted to!):
WW black forest bar 1.5

Drink:
4 x NAS squash
2 x decaf coffee
1 x diet coke (caffeine free)

Total points used today: 20/19 oops, finding it really hard to stick to 19!

I know how much 1 point a day difference can make! When I went down from 19 to 18 i was really missing it!
You know I am a fan of 0 points soup and will not miss opportunity to advertise it even more Make a big pot of it and have between meals to fill your tummy. Good luck for the rest of the weekx

Friday 13th March - sts today how disappointing - guess the few slices of pizza have caught up with me (plus hormones )! I have also done less exercise this week, on top of the good loss I had last week it has all added up to a sts! Ah well, I MUST try to stick to 19 points next week. As usual I will have a target of less than 24 points today but will try to stick to 'normal' points tomorrow as have nothing special planned. If I have another sts next week I will know this is seriously affecting my losses and will have to stop allowing the extra few on a Friday which will be tough! MUST try and get some exercise in too!

Take care

Do you think so? Thanks! I'm feeling a little negative with having sts last week but I know why i sts I just hope I lose a little bit this week! I 'WI' on a Friday morning. The WW quiches are quite nice - I warm them up but you can have them cold with salad. There are various different flavours - Lorraine, tomato and mozzarella, cheese and onion. They are about 4" in diameter I would say and points are 5.5 - 6 points per quiche (the ones I've seen). Worth a try if you like quiche I would say! I'm greedy and eat a full one but you could just have half with a huge salad or some pasta....anyway I talk too much haha! Fingers crossed for Friday! You're close to getting your stone off aren't you? Good Luck!!!

 

[nuneczka]

You are not talking too much!

I am greedy too and dont think I will cut a quiche on half

I hope on Sunday I will be a proud stone looser And "only" one more stone to go! Can't wait! It is a bit annoying that when you are within healthy BMI pounds coming off very slow.
Good luck on Friday

Thanks Ugg, that's nice of you to say! I think I might be hoping for too much but I hope I lose 1.5lbs tomorrow then that will be my first half a stone!! Any loss will be good though....Got my wedding dress fitting sometime in May so really got to knuckle down and keep losing!! I hope I do as well as you have...!

 

[nuneczka]

Hope will get some good news from you tinyshoes tomorrow Good luck x

 

[ugg]

Just a thought as you like to have more points at the weekend, Check out The Wendie Plan

It allows you to use your points but plays about with them and was successful for her weight loss. I don't know if anyone has tried it on minimins, I'm sure someone has. Fingers crossed for tom, My WI 2 Slightly nervous after my big gain last week so i've started afresh! Pop in tomorrow :O)

 

[tinyshoes]

Thanks ugg, I'll have a read through it and maybe give it a go! Think I'd struggle on the 'low point' days though!! If anyone reading this has tried it, please let us know what your results were like!

 

[tinyshoes]

I've joined the exercise challenge and pledged to do 10,000 steps and 40 mins jogging on the wii this week. It's made me get on the wii even if I don't feel like it. It's good motivation. Have a look! :O)
