Since I last updated I have been away in America for a month and been using the propoints system as much as I can.
Well, today I had another weigh in and the scales surprised me - I was down three pounds today, meaning I reached my five percent loss as well as getting my second silver seven.
I have to admit, I was beginning to get a bit disillusioned with WW. The weight was coming off really slowly and as much as it was encouraging to hear other people's weight loss at meetings, I just kept thinking - why are they losing weight and I'm not? Now I've factored in exercise and I really think that it has made a big difference. While I'm not perfect, I do feel much more motivated to stick to the plan.
One of the problems I had with losing weight before was that I would work hard for a couple of weeks - no junk, gym 4-5 times a week etc. Then when I didn't get instant results I began to be frustrated and fell back into old habits. But now I've lost a stone. A STONE. I've never lost that much weight before and trust me, it feels a lot better than gaining weight or even staying the same.
To be honest, I don't feel any different and I don't think I look different but it just feels good to be able to say I've lost a stone! Hopefully by the time I lose another stone, I will begin to see and feel the results!
