hey Kelebek,

According to the WW scales I lost 0.4kg but my scales at home (in the morning after a breastfeed lol!) were showing a 0.6kg loss. I'm going more with my own scales because I started at home a week before I attended the first meeting and I'm just using the meetings to keep me on track and stay accountable. So all up I've lost 4.2kg in three weeks. I'm only going to measure myself every 4 weeks though, otherwise I will get too focused on the size (cm) of my belly. Can't wait til it looks normal again.

WRT the eating/points stuff: I have struggled on a few days to stay within points and then other days I seem to have a few left over at the end. I also struggle at times to work out the points for home cooked meals, even with the tracker thing and I often think I'm probably underestimating what I'm eating. I agree about always feeling hungry. I'm breastfeeding and so far, AF has stayed away but I remember seeking out junk around that time. My only advice would be to have low points snacks around the house and even give yourself a day or evening off strict counting (as long as you're healthy) and then get back on track the next day. I don't know. That might not work for you but WW eating should be about developing long term habits. If that time of the month is trouble for you eating-wise, you might be better to accept it, eat more (healthy and within reason) for a day and then get back on track, rather than feeling deprived? I hope that made sense. One day a month is probably not going to slow your weight loss too much if you don't go overboard.

If that approach won't work for you then you can try drinking a glass of water and waiting 20 mins. Spoil yourself another non-food way (like have a bubble bath or something) or eat a chocolate but then go for a long walk or something to earn an exercise point. Definitely don't have tempting food in the house! I can only resist it for so long as well. Especially when you're just starting out to change eating habits. It's just too hard. I find if it's not staring at me from the pantry or fridge, I'll find something else. Getting out and down to the shops is still a big effort for me so it's enough of a disincentive not to bother just for a quick fix.

Hope you all have a great week on the scales girls!
