Got confused, it doesn't take much

I went to my second weigh in last night after following the filling and healthy plus 49 points and to be honest I got myself into a mess and didn't weigh the things I should have. I went over my points by quite a lot but did manage to lose, it was just 1/2 lb but it was a loss. I am now on full points so I have a daily allowance plus weekly points for extras and treats, I have to learn to portion control and plan.I expect to see a better loss on Sunday when I get weighed. Sarah my leader told me that every loss counts and not to be disheartened and stick with it, I am not going to be too hard on myself and today is a new day.

Week 1 Weight Watchers weigh in.

I had a great week on WW Simple Start and enjoyed creating yummy meals from my food list and still being able to have a small glass of wine, I made spicy turkey burgers, a filling chilli and a stir fry, I cook from scratch and use the app and e-source for ideas and have also found some face book groups and people on Instagram that are following WW and post photographs of meals and pro points values which I know I will find helpful as it is nice to get in touch with people who are getting great weight loss results.

My Niece got married on Saturday and the buffet was full of non simple start foods and at the time everyone was so hungry because it was late. I ended up having a tuna cob (brown),salad,mini pork pie,a samosa,a chicken drumstick and a few crisps, I steered clear of the beautiful desserts, I did however have 4 glasses of Rose wine. I was dreading my first weigh in because I didn't handle the food situation well but I was surprised to find out that I had lost 4lb!

If I had stuck to simple start at the wedding I could have lost much more but it does prove that it works and I have now been giving filling and healthy foods plus 49 weekly pro points too.

I am starting to track and this is the structure I need and am looking forward to creating some nice meals.

I hope you have a good week.

I took the plunge and went to my first meeting,my cousin came with me as she was going on holiday the following day and didn't want to miss her weight in,she goes to a different groups but you can attend any meeting.I was pleased that I didn't have to go alone for my first time. My leader was really welcoming and everyone was friendly. I am following WW Simple start and am looking forward to a great week choosing foods from the list plus some guilt free treats too.so here goes.

 come back soon  x Dawn

First meeting tomorrow

I signed up on-line for the monthly pass for £10 for the first month offer and at first was thinking of just following the plan on-line but decided yesterday to go to a class because I need to be answerable to someone other than myself, I stopped following Slimming World last year and have put 3 stone on ! so doing it myself at home isn't such a good idea for me.I looked up my nearest classes and found one for a Sunday at 7pm at the local fitness centre and swimming pool which is perfect for me as I don't drive I know John is always here on a Sunday so he can take me and he can have half a beer in the local pub or a cuppa in the fitness centre coffee shop whilst waiting for me.
I just take the voucher I printed off to class, the voucher is valid for one month for classes,internet access to the WW members site and phone app which I will find really useful.
So wish me luck because I know walking in that room full of strangers and facing up to the reality of how much I weigh is so daunting but I have decided to tackle it at a pound a time and not look at the bigger picture.
I have done a shop as I have been online and looked at the foods on the plan and think I am prepared so for now I am signing off, I have a few naughty things in the cupboard to dispose of eat before my first weigh in.

Day 1 ....I have joined Weight Watchers today !

I have decided to become a member of Weight Watchers and today I have signed up for the monthly pass as there was an offer on,sign up for £10 for the first month. I am excited and nervous at the same time but this is the heaviest I have ever been, I am 53,I have high blood pressure and a dodgy back. I have to and want to be healthy,fitter and slimmer.
So please feel free to join me on my adventure, this is not a diet for me but a new way of eating, a complete lifestyle change. It may take a while but I am in it for the long haul.
I do not want to reveal my starting weight until later on but I will share my losses (and heaven forbid gains) and will also share recipes and hopefully videos too if I can manage to get them on here I am not too technical but will have a go.I am not a fan of gyms so instead I will be walking,swimming and trying to master the pilates machine that has been gathering dust for over two years!
I welcome comments and if you have a blog please feel free to put a link in your comment too.
So let the countdown of those pounds begin.
