New Year...New Blog...

I've started a new blog for the New Year...you can follow on

http://luccii-2011.blogspot.com/ (that's if you want to of course!)

Result..... :)

First weigh in on the new plan and.....I lost 5lb!!!!
My daughter lost 2.5lbs too (she has a lot less than me to lose).

So pleased and I have loved it.

And....I'm less than my start weight in January!!!!

Day Two.....

Doing well so far... today I've had....
Breakfast - Oat so Simple 4pts
Milk 2pts
Lunch - John West Tuna Lite Lunch 5pts
Banana
Pineapple
Dinner - Morrison's Christmas Dinner Soup 8pts (for the whole pot!)
Milk in drinks, honey, sugar and Capuccino make another 7pts
Fruit pastilles - 5pts

So I've got 5pts left and haven't used any flexi points today. (Used 5 yesterday)

The fact that fruit is zero is inspired I think, its definitely changing how I choose my food.

So far so good..... :)

Yet Another New Start.......

Well, the moment of truth.....I weigh 17st 11.5lbs, I knew it was more than when I started last year!!!!

I've joined WW again, going to class this time with my daughter, so hopefully we will motivate each other. It was packed today full of people worrying about the new Propoints plan. I'd already had a look on the WW site and message boards so was a bit more prepared than some.

I now get 35 points per day with 49 points to use throughout the week if I need/ want to. All the points values have changed so its a bit like starting from the beginning (many years ago!!)
I've planned tomorrow, so no more eating on the run/ in the car etc.
Breakfast - Oat so simple - 4pts, Semi skimmed milk - 2pts
Lunch - Pasta - 4pts, Glenryck pilchards - 3pts
Dinner - Toast - 6pts, 2 eggs - 4pts, beans - 5pts
Along with drinks it adds up to 35pts.
However fruit is now zero points so I shall add a banana and satsumas too.

As usual at the beginning I'm feeling positive, hope it lasts....I'll keep you posted....

New Year...New plan...New Me???

You may have noticed I have changed the title of my blog....to be honest I've given up on 2010 as far as losing weight goes, I'm not totally sure how much I weigh today but it is definitely not less than when I started!!!!
However....
Tuesday I start going to meetings again, Weightwatchers launch their new plan today so I'm going to give it a go.
I'll post my weight Tuesday and start to write my blog again.

Christmas Challenge.......

Just got back from a weeks holiday in Snowdonia where we had a great time.....did make me realise how unfit I was though!!!
Started WW again yesterday and doing ok so far. Back to 17st 6lb yet again....but being positive I have 15 weeks till Christmas, so I should be able to lose at least....2 stones??
I suppose even if I'm less than when I started my blog in January it will be a sort of result!!!
I had another look at Lighter Life, my friend has lost five stone!!! in about four months and I'm very jealous....but its just not for me, I can't face the thought of not eating proper food. Weightwatchers really does suit me best....just have to stick to it for once!!

And again..........

Hello Again....
This time I've deliberately left a few weeks before starting to write my blog again.
Shows how much faith I have in myself!!!

However.... I have now lost 8lbs and think I have got my drive to lose weight back again.
I have to say I haven't been strictly 'weightwatching' it's been a combination of Slim Fast and counting points.

After talking to people on 'Lighter Life' the main thing they said has helped is the feeling of being in control and not having to think about food at all that the programme gives.

I can't afford £70 a week so I thought I'd do the 'cheap' version!! (I know it doesn't work in the same way)
This has helped me I have to say, I have a breakfast bar (3.5pts!), a shake for lunch (3.5pts) and then a normal tea which I point.I have Alpen bars instead of their snack bars (1.5pts).
I think its the equivalent of fast start, I would usually have 25pts, this works out at about 20pts depending on what I have for tea obviously.

Anyway, I'm going to do another week or two like this to get to where I was in March and then do the usual Weightwatchers again.
