LeeLee that's a good idea but with my online WW it wipes out the accumulated points at the same time as my weight is due😱 The gamble didn't backfire I've lost another two pounds this week (I've put them on the weight loss thread). That's ten pounds in total and I now weigh 14 stone 3lb. The Chinese was delicious and so was the wine and I still had two points spare:D

You're making terrific progress Amanda, and it seems you are managing well with the constraints of the diet, managing some deliciously-sounding healthy meals, some treats and a few tipples! And still losing weight at a good, steady and sustainable rate! Brilliant! 🙂
 
Thank you Northener. It is all working out very well and I'm loving my food and still being able to drink my wine:D
 
Ooops got to be careful to get this back under control.....just had a Cadburys chocolate trifle.....I have the points for it but not very healthy😱
 
Focus focus focus on the weight loss. Pumpkin and goats cheese tart with stir fried vegetables for dinner tonight:D
 
Yaaaah I'm back on track I didn't even use any of my treat points yesterday, I've saved them for another day:D. Today's menu

Lunch Stuffed mushroom
Dinner Goulash
And some glasses of bubbly for Eurovision:D
 
I nearly forgot my update but stir frying my vegetables reminded me:D. I'm well in to week five. Exercise today has been walking Susie and planting vegetables. Food and drink:
1 WW fruit and crumble bar because I was starving
Lunch: olives, feta cheese, salami, sun dried tomatoes and antipasti meat
Dinner: Asparagus and hollandaise melts with stir fried vegetables in soy sauce
Washed down with bubbly

Have to admit that most of my spare cash is going on food but as it is working it is worth it:D
 
Haven't you heard of free bubbly?! It's only available in selected postcodes🙄:D. There is a strict criteria you need the postcode, a doggy called Susie and somebody with AJ initials who is absolutely terrible with her credit card....now is there anyone who meets that criteria:confused:

Goodness! Looks like you struck lucky! :D
 
I know :D:D:D
 
I've been very hungry today but kept to my points. Dinner is asparagus and Swiss cheese tart with stir fry vegetables and the customary wine:D.......have been invited out for dinner with my brother, mum and dad and nephews tomorrow but dare not go because, having studied the menu I know I will break my diet. It's a Hungry Horse and none of the "under 600 cal" options appeal to me but I would love the garlic bread and hot dogs yum yum😱 thank goodness this diet is only for a year🙄
 
Aw, that's a shame you won't be able to go out :( But you are doing really well, so it would be a shame to spoil it now 🙂
 
I totally agree Northener. However I am hoping to go out for lunch with a friend on Thursday to a restaurant that is much "healthier" and I have budgeted the points for it🙂. I'm just waiting for her to email me to confirm🙂
 
OH yes and because I'm super good Mum, Dad and Mark are having fish and chips with bread and butter here Wednesday night, so yummy.........but I'm going to be virtuous and have a points counted ready meal:D
 
Well I've kept to my points with loads to spare but so far I haven't lost an oz this week....although it is still two days to weigh in. Last night I had a few WW point counted glasses of wine and was tempted to have a takeaway. However I stayed strong and had shepherds pie. Tonight will be macaroni cheese whilst everyone else has fish and chips. Going to Bella Italia tomorrow night - the goats cheese salad looks very nice🙂
 
Mmmmmmh nearly six weeks into the diet....weigh in tomorrow....AND today was my first non diet meal out😱 Seafood platter followed by steak with Stilton, sweet potato fries and onion rings😱 but it was delicious:D. Back to the WW plan tomorrow
 
Yipee I've lost another pound - now at 14st 2lbs:D
 
Resolve weakening because of lousy day.....4pm I'm eating jelly babies and just about to get a glass of wine
 
Hang on in there Amanda! If it's not too late, try one of these: go for a walk, run a bath, turn out cupboards, tackle the ironing, anything to distract you. If you have already indulged, make sure you count it so that you can retrieve the points situation over the next few days. Keep at it, you're worth it! 🙂 xx
 
Thanks LeeLee I'm beginning to calm down now but I have had three small glasses of wine😱 however I will take your advice and put them on my WW record....I might be able to redeem myself because I've got spare points from yesterday and from walking Susie today. Thank you for caring🙂. Xx
