Weight Watchers Weigh-in

Im sure you will :) I mean if you thought you were going to gain this week but you lost Im sure 1 1/2 pounds to loose will be easy

I hope so!
Either that or all the bad stuff form last week will catch up with me :eek:
Ah well I have my dvd which I've been doing and I go dancing twice a week too and I power walk to school now so hopefuly I'll be fine :)

I know that Slimming World or Weight Watchers etc. help you to lose weight, but how do you stay at your target weight? You are talking about being worried that you have put weight on because of sinning here and there, but surely you have to start "sinning" at some time or you waste away? :confused: :searchme:

Thats why diets often don't work. People think once they have lost the weight they can go back to what they ate before and not put on weight. Obviously if you go back to a high fat unhealthy diet then the weight will creep back on.

I would of though regular exercise would help keep weight off

I realise that, but if I follow a particular diet like WW or SW and I don't go back to what I ate before and not the amounts etc., I must continue to lose weight until I am gone. :confused: I suppose you eat a little more so you don't lose any more weight but keep exercising (:( ) to keep unwanted weight off? :searchme:

I dont know cos If you change your diet right at first you start to loose lots of weight and then it slows down, and wont most of it depend on how much you brun off?
Cos I mean I have a regular way of eating and excerising and my weight stays pretty much the same

You are probably right, did not think of the weight loss slowing down after a while. You are right with the burning off, the more you are physically active, the less likely you are to put weight on, unless you are me, no amount of physcial activity will shift extra unwanted weight :crying:

You just have to keep at it, and remember the only weigh to reallt loose to weight is to burn off my calories than you eat

I know, but when you have to sit in front of a computer all day, providing stats to game hungry people, burning off calories is not easy :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sooo happy!
Was expecting to put on!

1 1/2 lbs until my stone!

Although our new consultant can't count and short changed us of a quid and said I had 3 1/2 pounds to lose until my stone.
Oh well
Nearly at a stone :D

Part of it is to do with your metabolism. If you have a high metabolism you're more likely to be slim and active than somebody who has a low metabolic rate.

Just a random fact, it takes an extra 3500 calories to put a pound on.

Get one of the cycle things that are like bikes but just the peddles. Stick it under your desk then when you're working you can peddle and burn calories. Could be terribly annoying though having your legs go up and down all the time.

:thumbsup: lol thats What Im here for :p

Wow I never knew it took that much!

Is there anything you can do to stimulate your metabolism to get off its fat backside and work a little harder?

Well Done Kirsty :D
You must be dead chuffed ;]

Dunno actually. Just a random fact I leaned somewhere. I guess it could be an accumulation of calories over the week. Women are supposed to have 2000 calories per day so an extra 3500 in a week would be like having an extra two days in the week.

That probably doesn't make any sense, I'm too tired to think about these things :lol:

:lol: It does make sense. If we stick to our reccomended allowence we stay the same weight-ish, but if we start over eating by twice as much we start to gain a lot

To increase your metabolic rate you need to exercise. Cardio training is good for the metabolism I think. You should do cardio (jogging, running, anything that increases your heart rate) at least three times a week for 30 mins. Its good for your heart too.

The dreaded 'e' word again (exercise). I suffer from osteoarthritis in most of my joints and find jogging or running too painful after a short while. I exercise to my DVDs when I feel up to it (not nearly often enough, I know) and do bellydancing once a week, but shall try to go for walks more often when I can fit into my shoes (bunions are soooo painful).

At SW you are supposed to have 5-15 sins a day anyways.
And you set yourself a target of where you want to be in your weight loss (they decide if it's too low or not)
Then when you hit that target weight as long as you stay within 3lbs up or down of your weight each week... you don't have to pay anymore.
Most people there say that wehn they hit their target weight they will carry on the week being good... but will do what they like on the weekends which is fine too :)

well done kirsty, and everyone else, youve all done really well! :)

another thing you should do is eat brekkie. it helps your metabolism cos it starts your digestive system working earlier in the day

also i read this bit of information somewhere the other week and thought it was really useful. even if youre only eating 2000 calories a day you need to make sure youre drinking enough otherwise not all the calories will be used up. apparently 1ml of liquid is needed to burn off one calorie so you need to try and drink at least 2litres a day :)

Perhaps I can persuade my boss to install my office in the toilets. On the other hand, I burn off more calories running to the loo :rotfl:

its my weigh in tonight and ive been on the vodka + lemonade for the past 3 nights :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Ohhhh don't worry about it :)
Can't be good every week can we?
All I've done is eat rubbish this week so I know I've definately put on.
I'm sure you'll be fine :)

Let us know how you got on :D

i maintained :cheer: :cheer: ......when do you go?

Yay! Well done :D
My weigh in is tomorrow :(
I haven't felt well and been to house parties this weekend and so haven't eaten really... apart from Dominos to be honest ahaha but I've only really be eating like 1 meal in the days/nights where I just haven't been bothered or felt like it.
So I know I've put on... just how much is what scares me!! :lol:

good luck :thumbsup:

I put on 1/2 lb
I'm pleased with that!
All the rubbish I've eaten this week and there was no dancing so not much exercise has been done either..I'm surprised I didn't put about 4 lbs on!
So yeah... very happy :)

well done! 1/2 pound is nothing anyway! youn didnt want a wee before you got on the scales did you because i know if you want a wee it can weigh our class lady always tells us to squeeze a wee

I always have a wee before I go lol.
I was waiting around because my Nan was running late though so I suppose I did kind of need to go but nevermind... I'm not distraught over that because it should be easy to get off this week if I do my exercisey stuff more... I did like no exercise at all last week lol
