Nothing...

Nothing... absolutely nothing will taste as good...

5 weeks left... lets not fall off the wagon now!

Understand... if you know the programme... whatever program you are following... if you get it and you've read your books through and through.. then all you have to do it do it... but if you're confused... or not sure then you could be making basic mistakes, pointing wrong... not weighing things correctly... this week, take out your books and read them cover to cover.. you might discover that you're doing something very small, that's stopping your weight loss...

Unbelievable... that's you... you will surprise yourself... if you put your mind to it, you will take a look back in a few weeks and think 'wow did I really do that?!?!' Many people who have lost a lot of weight genuinely don't feel like they've done something exceptional... But the old cliche surfaces every time.. 'If I can do it.. anyone can... ' and it's SO true...

Ugh... The frustration when you HAVE done it right and you HAVE weighed, walked and drunk all the water.. but sometimes your body can be week behind an you have to be a little kinder to yourself... as my leader says if you worked for it the scales will reward you..

'U' INSPIRATION ...

This week it is a fantastic app... the Ultimate Food Diary is a great app to have on your phone for tracking your food on the go, and visualising your losses... It's in the APP store for both Apple and Android! >>> HERE <<<

'U' RECIPE -

is from Weight Watchers the Ultimate Burger is a simple but VERY tasty recipe to fix that meaty craving! You can find it >>> HERE <<<

M&S Indian Takeaways!

It's one of the cuisines that gets a bad rap with ProPoints... but SO many people love indian food...

Here's a selection from Marks & Spencer that are all good enough to share...

Yes a couple of them are high in ProPoints but to me they're much better than a takeaway where you have no idea of whats really in them... x Anyone tried these?

Write it down...

On the fridge... on your phone... written on your bathroom mirror...

when you write a goal down and you look at it all the time...

it's out there... on paper...

you've committed to it!

Remember when we were kids and we wrote letters to the fat man in the red suit with our list of demands... Today, write a letter to Santa... yes, even you none believers... Tell him what you're going to achieve by the time her gets here in a few weeks and how you're going to reward yourself with a christmas treat... mani... pedi... new book... new DVD box set... clothes... and how good you're going to feel... It's so easy to undo all your good work in just a few weeks and by writing it down somewhere, somewhere you'll see it EVERY DAY... it might just help you to stay on track... We'll all be back on the wagon the first week of January but how miserable will it feel to lose the weight you'e already lost! AGAIN!...

pens out... Dear Santa...

'T' - #xmascountdown

'T' is for...

Tracking... Even if you're doing F&H, tracking your food for the week will show you so much more that the actual food you're eating... it will show you your trigger foods.. and trigger times... angel all day and then a disaster after 9pm? It will show you if your portions aren't big enough, if you're hungry an hour after lunch then you need to add something to get you through the afternoon with out having a binge... When you have a good week it's great to have it in your folder to use again when a bad week happens... You hunger patterns will show up too... not a big fan of breakfast but like a big lunch it can help you meal plan to allow for that... I am as guilty as anyone of picking up a tracker and leaving it in my handbag for the week.. but it's a great too to use regardless of what plan you're on.. and you don't need a fancy APP or a diary, get yourself a cute notebook and stick it in your handbag... it will become your biggest weight loss tool!

'T' INSPIRATION...
