It would be lovely if weight changes were always downward! Unfortunately there are a couple of variables that have a confounding short-term effect, i.e. fluid levels and speed of digestion. I do hope the lbs stay off though.
 
I agree LeeLee. In the past I've managed to put on three pounds in two days, when ive kept to my points, so that's why I'm only basing my excitement on weigh in days. It would be nice if weight did only go down🙂
 
So hungry today. Haven't had any food treats for a few days so had a packet of WW nachos followed by WW crinkle crisps with a glass of wine:D They were very nice and I've got loads of spare points:D Goulash for dinner tonight🙂
 
Feeling flat today because of Susie but determined to keep to my diet. Today I've had a boiled egg and soldiers, prepared by OH because he has a day off, and a packet of WW crisps. Not sure what I'm having for dinner but it will be with stir fried vegetables. Weight was still 14st 2lb this morning which was good as it means that I'm still on track to have a three pound weight loss for this week, fingers crossed.
 
Just decided that I'm going to have asparagus and Swiss cheese puff tart with the stir fried vegetables🙂
 
Still got loads of WW points left to use between now and Thursday:D Steak ragu tonight🙂
 
Thanks Alan it was lovely with some Parmesan cheese and a glass or two of wine. This is the bestest that I've kept to my diet for more than two years:D
 
I'm having a debate with myself about dinner tonight. I usually budget 16 points for dinner each night and based on this still have a "spare" 30 points to use by tomorrow. Question: can I allow myself a small Chinese takeaway ie one spring roll, a small portion of special foo young and very small portion of crispy chilli beef? It feels really naughty but I'm sure I've got the points for it as I would allocate it 30 points. This is a dilemma:confused:
 
Chinese will wait to another day. Having a 17 point spinach and ricotta cannelloni.....looks like I will end the week yet again with a load of spare points🙄
 
Spare points = calories not eaten. It would be a bad idea to deny youself stuff that you need to eat, but you clearly didn't need these points this week.

It's a shame that you can't (well I can't) get away with saving up several weeks' worth and splurging without consequences!
 
OMG the splurge I could have if I used all of the points I had saved over the past few weeks and it had no consequences - that would be lovely:D
 
Serves me right for weighing myself during the week of the three pounds that I thought I'd lost since last Friday two have gone back on. My "official" weigh in tomorrow morning will be interesting. Being very naughty at the moment - it's 5pm and I'm drinking a glass of wine - it's the only way that I can get started on a new assignment (that's my excuse) but I do have 30 "spare" points that expire at midnight and each glass of wine is 3 points. Can't believe that I've kept to my diet for four weeks - I'm well impressed with myself - but I have set myself a 12 month challenge. Next week will be slightly more testing because I'm going out for a "coffee" on Tuesday and lunch on Thursday - but my friend who is going with me also wants to lose weight so will be encouraging me to have a lighter option🙂
 
Mmmmmh spare points have been used on wine and treating myself to a Chinese takeaway🙂
 
You're brave, having the Chinese the night BEFORE weigh-in! I find I can get away with a carby takeaway towards the beginning of the diet week (Weds or Thurs), not at the end of the week. I hope it works out OK for you. If it does go a bit wrong, treat it as a learning experience!
 
I know LeeLee I'm dreading the weigh in tomorrow but my craving for a Chinese and a few glasses of wine was more than I could cope with. I so hope that I won't regret this tomorrow. All I want is a one pound weight loss. I'd been so good until this evening..........
 
With a bit of luck, all will be well.

I find can cope with a week of saintly behaviour if I know there are only X days/hours left until my next weigh-in night blowout!
 
Aaah see I am really, really good at the beginning of the week and save points so that I can have a blow out when I've saved the points....the Chinese was lovely because I'd saved the points but I am dreading tomorrow's weigh in🙂
 
That's the advantage of an after-work weigh-in... the day isn't finished yet, so the spare allowances can be used up after the big event but before the new week begins! It's all nonsense really - over the week it's still the same number of calories/syns/points - but the psychology works for me.
 
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
