Thank you Northerner🙂
 
I really wanted some wine tonight, and I had enough WW points, but I decided to wait until 8pm. Now I don't want any🙂
Tonight's dinner is asparagus and lemon hollandaise melt with stir fried vegetables:D.

Well done on putting off the wine, you're doing well 🙂
 
Thank you Northerner:D Ive lost another pound (5lbs in total) but I expect the weight loss to slow down now. The quick weight loss has given me a great boost. If I average 1-2lbs a week I will be VERY pleased:D
Tonight's dinner is chicken Korma with mini naan bread and WW mini poppadums🙂
 
Couldn't believe it this morning when I found that I'd lost another pound. That's six pounds since Tuesday:D As well as the Susie walk in the morning we went out for an extra walk in the afternoon which was very nice🙂 Treated myself to just one small glass of wine last night. Still not used any of the WW "treat" points that are available. Tonight's dinner is beef bourguignon with potato dauphonais🙂
 
Another successful day yesterday:D We went for an extra walk and I had just one small glass of wine. I still haven't used any WW "treat" points. Dinner tonight is Swiss cheese tart with asparagus wrapped in parma ham and stir fried mushrooms:D Scales showed a slight increase this morning but I expect some fluctuation during the week so I'm not upset about that -I'm not very good at keeping to just weighing myself once a week:D

Hehe! It is tricky not doing it on a daily basis, isn't it? I try and restrict myself to Monday mornings, but have to admit to usually doing a couple more during the week.

Keep up the good work! 🙂
 
Thanks Alan 🙂 You're more disciplined than me when it comes to weighing yourself:D
 
You're doing well AJ, you'll be slimmer of the month at this rate, if they still do that these days :D
 
Thank you KookyCat🙂 I'm not sure if they do slimmer of the month because I've been doing WW online but I'm planning to take a deep breath and go to my first WW meeting a week tomorrow🙂

Good luck with the live version, I rather enjoyed it when I went, the leader was great (although her holiday stand in was like a drill sergeant 😱). Our slimmer of the month was always one of a Mother and daughter duo, who were terribly smug, but I happen to know they both put the weight back on in buckets, I assume they were half starving themselves to lose it quick....might have had a little wry smile at that :D
 
Thanks KookyCat that's funny about the mother and daughter. Well yesterday was a "testing" day. Some potentially bad news in the morning with regard to finances which has worried us followed by needing to replace the washing machine in the evening. So I was mega stressed and did have three small glasses of wine BUT I still managed to keep to WW points and still haven't touched the "treats" allowance. Had to use three points on jelly babies for a hypo this morning. Weight had also gone up from yesterday so in total after one week on WW my weight loss has steadied at four pounds. My official weigh in is Friday.
 
It could have gone badly wrong yesterday but fortunately I had/still have LOTS of WW treat points. I needed jelly babies twice😱 Dinner was a Chinese takeaway BUT I only had some stir fry beef, approx 6 cashew nuts, a quarter of a small tub of noodles and five prawn crackers. I did have three small glasses of wine but feel confident that I used my WW treat points wisely 🙂
 
Great progress.

I think it's unfair that you have to count your jelly babies for hypo's as treat points.
 
Thank you Northerner and MacG3🙂 I agree that it's unfair about counting the jelly babies and part of me could argue that I shouldn't because they're medicinal - but if I didn't count them it would slow the weight loss. At least with the pump I'm able to reduce the number of hypos that I have so that is good 🙂
 
Used all of my treat points yesterday because I went out for lunch and during the whole day drank one large glass of wine and two small glasses of wine. But I'm confident that I didn't eat more than I should with my treat points. Being a good girl today and refused biscuits at the WI meeting🙂 Weight is still 14st 10lbs which is the same as last Friday. Tomorrow is weigh in day.
 
Huge failure day😱 mum and dad visited yesterday - lots of wine and food from the chipshop😱 trying again today🙂
