Oh and as for the Mikado sticks - DELICIOUS - and I stopped easily at 6 although not entirely sure how to poin that 6th one, the WW message boards say 3 = 0.5 and 5 = 1 point, so I'm classing it as 2 lots of three

Things like that confuse me! It's the same with pink and whites. 1 = 0.5 but 2 = 1.5. So if I eat 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternooon, does that equal 1 point or 1.5 point?

Hi everyone

Not been around for a while - assignments and exams coming out of my ears :eek: . Anyway no WI for me today because its bank holiday but lost 3.5lbs last week bringing my total weight loss to exactly 50lbs :j. Another 4.5lbs and I will be half way to my goal weight!!

Well done to everyone who has lost this week.

Forgot to say - only got to lose 1 more pound to get to my 20% goal too :j. Not sure what to set as my next goal? Thinking of maybe getting my BMI to 30 (currently 34). I will then be classed as overweight rather than obese - that would be great!!!

Wow Wee studentmidwife that really is a truly fantastic achievement, bet you feel great..have you treated yourself to a new wardobe yet??
I feel i have so far to go...only just returned to WW and have at least 2 stone to lose. How do you manage to keep motivated every week? Im trying hard at the mo to break the habit of a eating loads for a couple of days after WI and then i panic and hardly eat a thing....so im trying to treat every day including the weekend (hard) as the day before my WI. I can put on 3 pounds easily at the weekend and then spend the rest of the week trying to get it off and so on....
Well done again.
and a big hello to everyone else too

Thanks mackeroo - I feel fab . A big family holiday to France in August is my motivation. We went 2 years ago when I was a size 22/24 and over 18 stone and I felt (and looked) awful - I was determined not to look like that when we go this year and I won't :j.

I find setting myself smaller goals works for me too.

Good luck - if I can do it anyone can

You have done so well.

The leader has to send off for it, as they are personalised. So should have applied a few weeks ago when you were approaching the big 50. Just give them a reminder.

Evening Everyone
hope you all well
I have my weigh in tomorrow eve and been stepping on the scales every morning.....i get so despondent at times as i sometimes think coz ive been sticking to my points then i should lose at least half a stone as a reward every week!! Ha ha i know it aint going to happen and that its better to lose 1-2 pounds a week, blah blah blah but its hard at times i think to keep the motivation up when it comes off so slow.
I think back to this time last year i was heading away for my hen weekend to cardiff in june and i felt so confident and happy..i want to be that woman again! Mad at myself for putting all the weight back on..but hey thats in the past and at least i am doing something about it now
Had a yummy tea, a sainsburys tuna fishcake (low points) with cous cous and roasted veg and my evening large glass of wine :beer:
