Three is apparently the magic number. But not for me. I've been hovering around the almost-lost-three-stone mark for so long now. Last week I had 1lb to drop. So easy, so doable. I went to the gym way more than normal. I thought I ate well. I stood on the scale. And I put on a 1lb. So now, I'm 2lbs away from my next Silver 7 and I'll be honest, I might as well be 2 stone away from it. That's how far it seems.
This week will be hard as I'm away with work so basically will be served food I have to eat - no choices. Gulp.
Just another gal with a weight loss blog!

WI result...
...I only lost 1lb. It's the most disappointed I've ever been with a result (especially a loss!) but I was really, really hoping for the 2lb to hit my next milestone. I'm not gonna lie, I was gutted!
Anyhoo, now I'm not too bothered and it's given me the resolve to try harder this week, as well as trying to get focussed on losing weight again. I've been in the elevens since October because of my coasting since ProPoints was launched and over Christmas/New Year, so I definitely have a bit of motivation back!

Friday Night Thoughts V...
I don't normally set myself any weekly weight loss targets, but I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY want to lose 2lbs tomorrow. Keeping everything crossed (and my mouth closed!)

Like Kylie says on the WW ad...
'Wowowowow!'
NEVER did I think I'd be so happy about a gain, but I am! After my Christmas/NY break, I went to my first weigh in today and have only gained half a pound! Half a freakin' pound! I can't believe it and I am SO happy with it! I have only really been on plan since Tuesday (and I mean on plan in the loosest sense of the word) so it really was a surprise. The thing is, over Christmas and NY yeah I ate more than I would normally and completely splurged a couple of days and didn't get to the gym, but when I think about it, I did stay active - I walked loads and in the snow which I think is harder than normal walking and I think although I focused on the times I was off plan, the majority of time I probably was on plan and just not tracking so was actually following it better than I thought I would.
I've definitely learned lessons for next Christmas/NY though - going to make sure I keep some sort of routine and TRACK!
I have 2lbs to lose til my next 'Silver 7' award, which will take me to a 3st loss, and I am planning to get this on Saturday. I won't be devastated if it doesn't happen, but I would like to try my best to stick to plan, stick to gym and finally get this 3st off!
Just now, I'm in the process of eating through some of M&S's Count on Us and Simply Fuller Longer ranges, and I'll review these once I'm done (won't take me long, haha). I did plan to try and eat less processed food this year, and it will happen but at the moment I'm not in the right mindset to try so I'm looking at good points friendly options just now.

Friday night thoughts IV
Sooo, tomorrow is my first weigh in in what feels like forever but actually only (only?!) since 18th December. But since it will be 8th January, that feels like a pretty long time.
I have not stuck to plan the two weeks over Christmas and New Year, but I have stuck to plan this week, so hopefully that should limit the damage a little.
This is also the first week, albeit not a full week, that I've followed ProPoints. I'm obviously not going to judge it's effectiveness by whatever the scales say this week as two weeks of eating whatever the hell I want will still be having an effect.
I'm so glad to get back to weigh in though. I was dreading going back to WI and to work this week but now I'm back into some kind of normal routine it's great. Going forward hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things pretty quickly.
