Weight Loss 2020

[Squirrel]

Urgh! They probably eat unappealing crap the rest of the time too, just more of it .

I have finally lost 1lb! it only took nearly four weeks of bobbing around after holiday. Less than half a stone to go now but we all know that’s the most difficult bit.

How many points is one allowed in a day (-ish - I realise it must vary enormously from person to person ).

There were some nice looking and properly low-cal recipes on the MFP blog yesterday (I think the 25 low-carb article?). I am going to have to find a way of increasing my non-exercise exercise if I ever want to be able to reintroduce cheese or chips or a sauce with cream in it, even if I reach goal weight and can up my calories a bit. I used to be able to eat all those things frequently when I lived in Paris

[Estrella]

I’m doing WW Green which has the highest points allowance, balanced by the lowest 0 points food list. So I get 30 a day. On Blue which is the “middle” one I’d be allowed 24.

Well done, Squizz!

[ParisGal]

(A lot) more than a 3rd of your points on that

[Pippedydeadeye]

I’m down 6lb in total so far since I started getting back on it like a car bonnet. I need to lose 11lb ideally but I’ve never quite made target weight, so I’ll take a further 8lb as a success.

[Skips]

I see that sort of thing a lot on slimming worls. Luckily I've found a couple of people to follow on i stages that make nice food out of proper ingredients. My only vice (such as it is) is that I refuse to use frylight so I take a hit on proper oil.

[Mayday]

Well done Squirrel and Pip!

I am in my usual hover around the same weight for 2 weeks of the month stage. At least I'm used to it now and know what is going on, I guess.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I can understand meals like the sad sausage though, sometimes you just want to know it’s an acceptable meal and you can’t think too hard about it because otherwise you’ll want a mega blowout takeaway or something. This is why I have the same breakfast & lunch most days, because it works and if I have too many options I’ll remember how delicious bread is again.

[Little My]

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things a sad sausage isn't the worst/wurst.

Well done Pip and Squirrel.

1.8lbs down this week! The only difference between this week and last is that I moved a wee bit more, definitely not enough to warrant burning that kind of calorie deficit.

I'm coming to the conclusion bodies are just fickle and weird.

[Estrella]

Well done! I’m down 0.5kg since last Saturday.

Pip, I tend to eat the same for breakfast and lunch too.

[Mayday]

Well done both!

Viggy, bodies are absolutely fickle and weird. There is just no logic to it at all. I can have days where I am in my calories, exercise etc and gain weight and days where I am over and sit on my bum and lose. No rhyme or reason at all.

[Pootle]

That's so true - I'm in a rut of sticking at the moment but am exercising a bit less. I'm just making sure I don't get frustrated and give up. And that's a great weekly loss, Buffy.

I've lost 17 lbs in total so far, it's definitely slowed off but still heading in the right direction.

[ParisGal]

Buffy?

I knocked 100g off my (recent) all-time-low yesterday, and today have put on 2.1kg

[Mayday]

Same, PG!

[ParisGal]

I don't even think I ate 2.1kg of food yesterday (if you take out the water content; I didn't have any drinks with calories beyond a bit of soy milk in tea).

[Pootle]

Viggy, not Buffy! Autocorrect really doesn't want me to write that, it keeps coming up Buggy now.

[Roma]

I’ve lost another 1kg/2.2kb so it’s slowly going down. I’m exercising a lot now so that’s been helpful and I ate a lot of salad this past week....

[viggy]

Buffy?

I knocked 100g off my (recent) all-time-low yesterday, and today have put on 2.1kg

I used to try and pass off this kind of madness as inaccurate scales, but my new ones are super accurate and I still see this kind of nonsense

As long as it still looks like a downward trend when you zoom out and look at the bigger picture, that's the main thing.

[ParisGal]

Yes, absolutely, I'm not bothered by it. I would be if I didn't weigh daily though, and my weigh-in happened to fall on a +2kg day.
