Yipee another day another pound lost. I know that fast weight loss will only last for two or three days but it's a nice starting incentive. Going to the cinema today - got to try to avoid the popcorn🙄

Well done Amanda!:D Enjoy yur trip to the cinema! Katiex
 
Thanks Katie. We saw Skyfall and it was great. I did have popcorn but counted the Weightwatchers points so that was ok:D xx
 
Hungry but going strong. It's 1pm and all I've eaten so far today is a bowl of fruit. Today's plan is
Activia creamy yoghurt for a snack
Olives, seafood sticks and feta cheese for a late lunch
Sausages,onions, mashed potato and baked beans
Wine:D
 
Stupid scales say that I've put the weight back on and I was good yesterday. I must stop weighing myself every day🙄
 
Glad you know what not to do... the scales can be affected by so many random things that a daily weigh-in is meaningless. Weekly at the same time of day is best, and don't take it to heart if there's an occasional blip.

Your clothes will be a good guide as well - if you have something that's a bit too tight, try it on weekly and before long it will be comfortable. Keep at it! 😉
 
Today is a new day. Well it has to be after yesterday. I had my work leaving do and this involved lots of wine, an Indian meal and three glasses of Baileys😱 I am now suffering but it was good:D. Plan for today:
Fruit and yoghurt
Crab sticks, olives and feta cheese
Mushroom parcel with asparagus wrapped in Parma ham
Two small glasses of wine
Lots of caffeine free Diet Coke for dehydration from last night
 
I've been a bit naughty this week - had an Indian meal AND a chinese takeaway - I've also not kept to checking my Weightwatcher points. But I have made sure that I don't eat much during the day and I'm pleased to say that I have lost 2lbs this week so I'm now down to 14 stone 4lbs. I would love for it to say 14 stone 3lbs next week so I will try to be a good girl!!
 
Keep up the hardwork look forward to your update next week when its says 14st 3 🙂
 
Thank you Sheilagh🙂
 
Never let it be said that I don't keep trying. Weight has crept up to 14stone 8lb so I am going to significantly cut back on alcohol to save the calories plus increasing my Susie walks to four a week.

Susie will be pleased! 🙂
 
Mark will be even happy because it means he doesn't have two rush round on two work days. But Susie will be even happier than this because I'm going to start giving her extra ten minute walks most days:D
 
Mmmmmh not sure what has happened but ive put on 5lbs since March 7th😱 It's no excuse but I think I did too much comfort eating since Susie was ill and a virus - four takeaways in eight days was not good AND neither was last night's hypo which led to jelly babies, creme egg AND a slice of vienetta😱 OK confession over now time for action. I have re-enrolled onto Weightwatchers online. Will be interesting to count carbs and WW points - first time I have done it with the pump I will also need to alter my pump calculations - they are a bit complicated during the night because of the gastroparesis - but if I leave them as they are whilst dieting I risk bad night time hypos😱
Right my plan
I don't eat until lunch because of the gastroparesis
Lunch today:
1 slice salami
2 slices prosciutto
Olives
Feta cheese
Sun blushed tomatoes

Dinner
Chicken chausseur with one slice of home made bread
2 glasses of wine
That leaves me with seven "spare" points
My 5% weight loss target is 14 stones 2 lbs
 
Walked Susie this morning so that's extra points earnt🙂. I hope that nobody minds me posting like this but reading back what I've writing on the post does keep me motivated. Although I've gained a few pounds in the last year, rather lost them, posting on here has stopped me gaining more weight. Also in the last year I've had to deal with serious Susie illness, the chronic fatigue syndrome, leaving my job and the resultant depression. Now that I'm getting used to my "new" life I've just got to tackle losing six stone😱 and drinking less alcohol 🙄 but I will do it🙂
 
Just remember that every pound you lose it an achievement rather than focusing on the 6 stone. I was told 5 stone and was like no way! it's such a lot I'll never do it .. but I have done a stone and a 1/3 of it just in little bits xx I've set a target date to have lost it all and think it helps to think I had a bad week this one, but I've still got such and such time to go to get it all x Helps to not get too down those weeks nothing shifts or you put a bit back on x
 
Hi Shambles thank you for your lovely supportive message and congratulations on your weight loss xx. I'm going to spend some time thinking of my long-term target date and will then break it down into smaller targets🙂
 
Today's food plan:
Lunch: 3 slices antipasti meat, 1 oz feta cheese, 15 olives and three sun dried tomatoes

Dinner: Spinach and ricotta cannelloni with rocket, Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar
2 small glasses of wine
I also have five points for snacks but I'm only going to use them if I really need to because the treat points can be used anytime in the week
 
Hi Amanda, good luck with your plan.

Breaking the total down into mini-targets has been helpful to me. I created a spreadsheet showing my weight, weekly & cumulative losses and BMI. I also have a page containing my food diary. I set myself interim targets for each 5% lost, half and full stone marks and every BMI point lost. I have ?lb to go before I reach a loss of third of my former total weight, and 3? lbs to go for six stone. PM me if you'd like me to email the template.
 
Hi LeeLee Thank you very much for your message and congratulations on your brilliant weight loss🙂. Your template sounds like the information that I keep on my Weight Watchers app but please do let me have a copy. I will PM you in a minute🙂
