Hi Telly - thanks for your support, you made me laugh with your comments xx - I think I will stay away from her as much poss, will just have to do the polite thing every now and then me thinks! Don't worry about going over your points for the day, have you worked up any bonus points with exercise? I used to use my bonus points for days like that. You are doing great, a heap better than me who is doing.........nothing! Now I have my new pram I'm going to set aside some time each day for myself to go for a walk with Amelia, I need to, I'm disgusting!
Hi Kymmy - size 9 jeans and 6 kgs to lose, my goodness, I don't think I've ever been size 9 even at my skinniest ha ha! You tiny thing you, you already look hot so stuff the 6 kgs! Walking is definitely the key though huh. I'm sure you were just as good a mum to your daughter back then, you probably just have a different attitude now you're older and more settled in life. I have an 18 year old single mum at my mothers group, she seems really lovely, very confident, poor thing got pregnant on her 2nd time of having s*x apparently, she has religious parents too so didn't go down too well. She's doing well but is finding her lifestyle is depressing her a bit, not being able to go out clubbing etc. God, clubbing, what's that?!!!! Been a while for me lol! Oh and I got my rings on the other day and got so excited but then my fingers swelled again and they got so tight I had to quickly yank them off. Can't get them on again now, the day I can wear them again I will feel better, it doesn't help in the "feeling fat" stakes that's for sure!
Hi Madame - welcome back, how are you lovely girl? Good luck with WW, I should start counting points again too, perhaps I should join online too, I'm a lifetime member so wonder if that gives me anything, probably gives me stuff all!
Hi Mon - basically you get allocated so many points a day to stick within re food, the points relate to foods themselves, ie fruit and vegies are either 0 points or some fruits might be .5 or 1 point depending on the size (fruit has points due to the sugars) - so choccies etc are obviously higher in points etc....it's instead of calorie counting and much easier to follow. Rather than a diet as such it just teaches you to eat healthier, a lot of WW is about portion control, you can still each your sweets if you want....you just have to have less of it and in smaller portions - I used to have choccy every day when I did it and lost 8 kgs in 4 months, aside from the pregnancy I have managed to maintain it for the last 3 years too as I generally follow the points thing anyway - except for lately of course, can't do it when you're pregnant! You need to have the points book to know which foods are which though when starting out.
Well best go get myself some lunch. Have a great day everyone!
