5 Months later

and another stone on. Why oh why do I keep on like this? Have been a member of Weightwatchers online since December 2007 and all I have done is gain weight - not weightwatchers fault mine.

I know WW works cos I got down to goal weight a couple of years ago, so why can't I do it now?

I have medical problems and losing even just 10% of my current weight would make live a bit easier for me - you would think that knowing that , it would be easy, sorry it isn't.

Well I started again on Saturday 2nd August 2008 and hopefully this will be for the last time. The inspiration this time is that my daughter is getting married sometime next year (date to be chosen yet) and I refuse to be the fat mother of the bride.

Will I do it? Please keep looking and if you will comment and give me some encouragement or even to kick my arse if I seem to be slipping. All help will be gratefully received.  Sparhawk

So hard

to think of a post title, how silly is that. I have sat here contemplating that little box and thinking what shall I put in there for about 10 minutes. At least it has kept me from eating.

Well today has been another good day. Tracked all my food and kept inside of my points and only thought about chocolate about twice. So that's really good. This makes it 7 good days on the run, that may be a record but it also means that my 2nd week starts tomorrow. That means that I might change into the incredible eating machine again ahhhhhh......... Now how can I organise myself so that that doesn't happen?

I am at the hospital first thing in the morning, so that should take me to 10am.

Shopping straight after could take me to 11.30 if I really look round but mustn't notice the fattening things.

Have lunch if good 30minutes if changed into the eating machine 3-6hrs butwe will go with 30min, sit and relax for 30mins. Thats 12.30

Then this is when it all starts to go belly up. Oh well will see what happens after 12.30pm tomorrow. Will let you know. Good night.

Weigh in today

Well weighed in this morning and haven't done to bad,to say I did'nt get back on track until Wednesday, I have lost 1.75lbs which I am pleased with.

Now we get to the problem. Once I have done the first week and had a weight loss I seem to think that I don't need to try anymore. That magically all my weight will now disappear cos I have kept on track for a week.  I am hoping that by doing this blog everyday will take me away from this mindset. I am also going reading and posting on the weightwatchers online forums to keep in mind that you have to track and watch what you eat to lose weight..

As well as tracking my weight I am going to track my inches. This may make me feel better if I don't lose any weight or stay the same but have lost inches (hopefully).  I know that people can look better just losing inches without having lost loads of weight.

This time of doing this has to be the whole image. That means accepting that it is ok to lose weight. Also to accept that I am looking different as I lose weight, which I think is the hardest to do. You must look different after losing a stone but you can't see it yourself.

Well that's it for now will try and get back here tomorrow.  Pauline

Another fresh start

Well failed again, what's new. Really must get my head around this,done it once,got to gold with Weightwatchers and put it all back on.

Started online in December, lost it over Christmas,  got back on in February for just over a week. The rest of the time until Wednesday just gone has been spent shovelling food in my gob.

So from Wednesday I have kept a daily tracker and been really good,hopefully I will stay at least the same if not lose a little bit when I weigh in tomorrow morning.

Well will leave it at that for today and hopefully will be back tomorrow with an update if not then you know I have failed again.

Target for March is to lose 5lbs.

New Start

How many times have I said that must be thousands. Hopefully this time it happens.

I am 55 years old and married, I have 3 children aged 25,21 and 16, first age is daughter and the other 2 boys.  I am disabled due to COPD which is a  lung problem consisting of chronic bronchitus and emphesemia (sp) and I am on oxygen 17hours a day. This being one of the reasons that I need to lose weight.

Since December I have been using Weight Watchers online to help with losing weight. Didn't do bad until Christmas then it all went wrong again. Started seriously again last Monday and have been really good at tracking my points until last night when I went 34 points over my daily allowance. I had 2 chunky kitkats,1 timeout, 2chocolate mallows and loads of biscuits and butter, and its Weigh day tomorrow. Why was I so stupid, woke up this morning with a headache from hell with all the chocolate.Will have to be good today.

Think thats it for now will be back tomorrow  with the results of my weigh in.

Hope everyone out there has a good day in what ever they are doing.
