A Day in Weight Watchers & Weekly Progress #02

Weigh day, eek!! This week has not been good, I've totally gone off the rails with food and alcohol this past week!

This week I weighed in at 12 st 2 lb which is a total weight loss of 6 & 1/2 lbs. I'm super impressed that I've managed to lose weight despite the awful food/alcohol that I've consumed! I had a limited edition triple chocolate Mars bar to celebrate, that is how good I am at dieting haha! It was amazing though!

I did have a good day on Monday (possibly the only good day in the whole week!) Here is what I ate:

 7.50 am Weight Watchers Yoghurt 2 Pro Points

Banana 0 Pro Points

 9.45am Tesco Light Choices Apple & Raisin Slices 3 Pro Points

10.50 am banana 0 Pro Points

 1.15 pm Tesco Light Choice Minced Beef & Potatoes meal 5 Pro Points

 1.35 pm Weight Watchers Chocolate Biscuit bar 2 Pro Points

4 pm another of the above! 2 Pro Points

7 pm Cod, cheese & chive fishcake 9 Pro Points

Two portions of Weight Watchers Spring Onion mash 4 Pro Points

Runner Beans 0 Pro Points

I also had one cup of coffee using the Nescafe 3 in 1 sachets - 2 Pro Points

Total points : 29/29

A Day in Weight Watchers & Weekly Progress #01

As you may or may not be aware I am currently following the Weight Watchers diet plan. I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting on 31 August 2011. I have been following the Pro Points plan quite strictly from Monday to Friday but have gone off plan every weekend since joining.

I have been allocated 29 daily Pro Points and 49 extra weekly Pro Points which I can use whenever I like throughout the week, most people save these up for alcohol/meals on the weekend. I've got drunk every weekend since joining and have lost count, but am pretty sure that I have gone over the extra 49 points both when drinking and when eating those hangover munchies!

To date I have lost 5 pounds, which is pretty good for four weeks in and having fun weekends!

I'm not attending the meetings as to be honest I can't really afford the £20 a month that it will cost me, I do however highly recommend attending the meetings if you want to follow the plan as they are great for motivation and sharing recipes.

I weigh myself every Wednesday so I have decided that I will post every week telling you how much weight I've lost or gained and share my meals from one day in the past week. I'm hoping that sharing my weight with you guys will help motivate me and that you'll enjoy the posts!

Today I weighed in at 12st 3 & 1/2 which means that I have lost 1 & 1/2 pounds this week.

8am Weight Watchers Raspberry Yoghurt 1 PP

10am Weight Watchers Ginger & Dark Chocolate Bar 2 PP

11.30am Weight Watchers Caramel Wafer Bar 2 PP

1.30pm Tesco Light Choices Chicken Curry with Rice 11 PP (these Tesco meals are good if you are on the Weight Watchers plan as they have the Pro Point values on the packs so no calculating points!)

Can of Diet Coke 0PP

7.30pm Findus Roasted Chicken Breast in a sun dried tomato dressing with potatoes, peppers & courgettes 9 PP

8.30pm Weight Watchers Rice Pudding 3 PP

Can of Diet Coke 0 PP

Total points used 28/29

As you can see Weight Watchers is fairly easy to follow, you don't even have to cook if, like me, you really can't be-bothered when working all day!

Day in Weight Watchers

Hi guys, how are you all today? I woke up knackered this morning but thankfully survived the day in work! I'm off work on Friday as I have a family party that evening and friends coming to visit Saturday so decided I needed the extra day to get the sleeping arrangements ready for them!

As you may already know I attended my first Weight Watchers meeting on Wednesday. I went away for the weekend and attended a food and beer festival which meant I didn't stick to it religiously! I also bought cheese & Marmite bread at the food festival, amazing, I couldn't not eat it! That has all gone now though so I decided today was the day, no time like the present and all that, and divided straight in!

I'm really pleased with how I have done on my diet today and I still have 7 of my 29 daily points left that won't get used now.

This is what I've eaten today...

7:50 am

Weight Watchers Vanilla Yoghurt - 1 Pro Point

1 Banana - 0 Pro Points

10:50 am

Weight Watchers Ginger and dark chocolate bar - 2 Pro Points

1:30 pm
Weight Watchers Cottage Pie - 5 Pro Points
Can of Diet Coke - 0 Pro Points

 6:00 pm
Mussels in garlic butter sauce - 3 Pro Points
Half a pack of Uncle Ben's Chicken and Mushroom Risotto (made with water) - 6 Pro Points
Half a grilled pepper (garlic butter sauce already taken into account with the Mussels) - 0 Pro Points

 7:00 pm
Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee - 2 Pro Points

7:00 pm
Weight Watchers Vanilla Creamed Rice - 3 Pro Points

Total Pro Points used - 22

That leaves me with 7 Pro Points left today which I won't use as I'm full! At the moment I'm feeling quite happy about this whole diet business.
