    Really want to be in my leopard print dress for christmas.
    Ive promised myself 5 work outs this week and to drink more water but other than that duno where im going wrong.



    Any quick fix tips to get the scales down next week.........i really need a morale boost.....................HELPPPPP
  • Are you getting in all your good healthy guidelines? Eating all your points,what about the extra weekly points?
  • You don't give us enough information. How about posting a typical day's menu? It looks like you've lost 4 pounds in 4 weeks. That is normal. With only 14 pounds to lose, it isn't going to come off fast. It takes more than 4 weeks to see what your body's pattern for weight loss will be. Have you lost any inches?
  • i havent lost since i started WW , that 4lbs was lost before i started ww, i did atkins for a week but i cudnt do it longer i didnt enjoy the side effects . ive maintained the same weight for 4 weeks

    I also have a lot more than 14lbs to lose more like 50lbs but im taking it one stone at a time
  • Mind posting what you are eating? A daily menu would be great.
  • Today i have had
    rice krispies for breakfast

    rice chicken and mixed veg for lunch

    and for tea chicken peppers onion and mushroon with sweet chilli sauce

    and a weightwatchers bonoffee pie


    Most morning i have ricekrispies or slice or ww toast withe jam.

    I sometimes have in general for lunch a ww frozen meal, or rice n fish

    And tea in general is somik home made like a curry, mince n potatoes etc but i always point them up
  • How much water are you drinking?


    Try upping your veggies and fruit maybe?


    Are you eating all of your points?
  • I don't see any dairy,what about your oils?There is no fruit.Are you eating all of your points?

    Are you eating all of your points?
    i need to up my water and have been doing that past few days , eating veg but probs not more fruit

    yeah i eat my points but some days i find i have points left over
  • Quote: I don't see any dairy,what about your oils?There is no fruit.Are you eating all of your points?
    yeah most days i manage my points. I tend not to use oil i dry fry etc but if u use butter i count ill my points in
  • You have to eat all of your points,following the good healthy guidelines will use up a large portion of your points.If you don't eat all your points then you probably won't lose the weight.If you are working out a ton you should eat your activity points too.Then there are the weekly points,some people believe they lose best when they use those.
  • The message boards on the WW site are free to anyone.Those ladies on the boards know their stuff.You should check it out.Problems like yours come up almost daily on them.I am on the recipe review board and the On the Momentum plan board.
  • Healthy oils are part of the guidelines.I think you need 2 tsp a day.
  • Having trouble getting in all your healthy oils? Here's some idea's. You only need to eat 2 tsp of oil per day. (1 teaspoon is a serving), So you can get it in throughout the day. Healthy oils are: olive oil, canola, sunflower, safflower or flaxseed. FYI: Fish oils, Oil capsules, Avocados, peanut butter, nuts, etc, do NOT count towards WW healthy oils requirements. Only the pourable kind count.

    1) Cook with it, Alot of recipes start off with oil in the skillet
    2) Mix up a marinade for meats and/or veggies
    3) Mix it with meat sauces, or most sauces
    4) Sautee with it.
    5) Drizzle over pasta
    6) Drizzle over popcorn
    7) Drizzle over veggies
    8) Drizzle over pizza
    9) Drizzle over corn on the cob
    10) Drizzle some over fat free cheese(it helps melt better)
    11) Mix up some salad dressing (like olive oil and balsamic vinegar)
    12) Rub it on poultry or fish before baking it
    13) Rub it on meats for the spices and/or rubs have something to stick to
    14) Rub some on a baked potato
    15) Grill sandwiches
    16) Stir Fry veggies
    17) Coat some homemade baked fries
    18) Makes garlic toast, (oil and garlic on bread toast)
    19) Add some to soups
    20) Add some to smoothies
    21) Mix 2 tsps olive oil to fat-free salad dressing
    22) Add to anything that is fat-free. instead of the fat, you're replacing it with healthy oils
    23) Roast veggies with oil
    24) Mix canola oil to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, soups
    25) put some in salsa
    26) If you eat frozen dinners, drizzle some over it.
    27) make some Herb or Spice Infused Oil, (for dipping or cooking)
    28) Mix in some Butter Buds or Molly McButter, you'll have butter flavored oils.
    29) mix some in the new PB2 peanut butter flour that alot are trying. (you're replacing the fat with healthy oils)
