First Gain?

Tonight it would appear that I am 1lb heavier!  Not sure if this is true.  Last week I was weighed first thing in the morning and this week at night, so not sure if there really is a gain? 
I know that I haven't been perfect with the diet this week, so I expected to stay same weight not to gain.  Last Tuesday hubby and I went out for an anniversary meal.  I enjoyed my food and could not finish it and had one glass of wine.  I stayed to my extra weekly points, so was planning staying good rest of week.  However, Thursday arrived with a hunger that would not be satisfied by the daily points, I went to bed hungry and woke up again in the morning hungry.  By Friday night I ended up having extra as I was ravenous the whole day!  Aunt Flow arrived late Friday night so I thought that might explain the hunger and Saturday was the same with me feeling constantly hungry, so again I had some extra snacks on Saturday night.  Sunday was back to diet, but still hungry and today I had the shakes by 11.30am with the hunger again!  Was good today, until I got weighed! 
When the leader of the weigh in class weighed me, she asked me if I expected it and I said I had been really hungry this week, and out for a meal and time of the month.  She asked me to fill in a food diary for her to check!  With the first gain of 1lb with good reason(?) not sure that I really need to do this as it's not as if I stuck to the diet and was having normal hormone levels!  I said ok, but as I walked away I remembered that hubby and I are out for dinner this weekend and have bed and breakfast in a hotel, so not sure how good I will be Saturday night and Sunday morning.  I'm hoping this crazy hunger I've been having will die off and return to normal so that thre rest of the week I will be good.  But we'll wait and see what the scales say next week!
So, kind of a little peeved with the need for a food diary considering how good I've been up to now, I came home and opened up a box of chocolates that my mum gave me as a present and ate 5 chocolates, felt sick on the fourth one!  See what happens.  Off to bed now feeling sick rather than hungry, and hoping to be a good girl until Saturday night! ;)

One Stone Down! whoop whoop

I DID IT!  This weeks weight loss was 3.5 lbs, so overall loss for 6 weeks is 1 stone 1 lb.  I'm sure it is not all from this week, I was bloated last week with stomach/digestion troubles, which I used to get when stressed but haven't had for years, so a bit of the 3.5lb is definatley from previous week.  When i input my weight loss into the online tracker it gave me a row for a large weight loss in one week, but I know why and I don't need the row! Ha
I'm really liking this new weight watchers plan, I'm very good during most of week and allow myself treats at weekends.  I even had delicious home made chocolate cake and a cream meringue made for me by a little boy last week and a couple glasses of wine.  I had the opportunity of a night out at a pub, but couldn't do that to myself!  How disciplined am I????!
Tonight my husband and I are going out for an anniversary meal, so I will be enjoying my food and one glass of wine.  I will use my extra weekly points to allow myself to enjoy my food, and stay disciplined the rest of the week.
I have achieved some goals as set by weight watchers, you get a sticker every 7lb and rewarded for 5% loss and 10% loss.  I've listed these and other targets I want to achieve along the way.  Important ones like the weight I was before Isla's diagnosis, the weight I was after having Isla, the weight before being pregnant with Isla.  I'm just so pleased with myself so far to finally shift that stone and get to the weight I was before Christmas 2009 and Isla's major surgery!  Next target is 6lbs down with the next half stone milestone and a further pound to get my 10%.  Wish me luck!

5 weeks in!

I didn't check in last week, I also didn't go to weigh in at class.  I was happy with how I had done, but had a migraine on the night of class, so decided to give it a miss, but I was desperate to know how I'd done.  I did end up looking to see if there was another class but by the time I had looked it was too late.  I had a girls night out that week.  A friend held a murder mystery dinner, which was good fun, and I think I managed to stay within the points?!  But maybe not?

This last week was going well up until Saturday night.  I was invited to an Ann Summers party on the Saturday night, and I definatley consumed too much wine and ended up having some nibbles too!  Oh dear, since Saturday night I've been bloated and had a funny tum and got headaches again.  Sticking to diet since Saturday, and I went to weight in today and over the two weeks I've lost 2 lb and have reached my 5% goal.  Two and a half more pounds and I will have lost my first stone.  Would love to achieve that by next week, but will have to see what is happening with water retention and headaches?!
