Another Tuesday and another weigh-in, tonight I lost two pound which brings me back down to 13.0.5. This was another night of helping Rebecca my leader at the scales, and I also eat before the meeting not a full meal but  a full size pitta with cheese and salad. I feel I am getting better at the scales but there are so many new members which is excellent, but Rebecca has to do these,I do feel that I come across ok when welcoming the members to weigh and in asking the right questions.

Most peoples problems seem to relate to the evening meal and just after, just like me really, I think is because of the time of year and the weather, as the summer comes we are all able to get outside more and do things which takes our minds off food.

I enjoy helping at the meeting and find it very rewarding, this is quite a change for me and not something that I would even have considered before losing the weight. I am going to give it a couple more weeks then I will get in contact with the area manager and say that I want to really go for becoming a leader. It was quite a shock to find out how much kit there is, the amount of boxes that Rebecca brings fill her car completely. This will not be a problem as my car is quite large, it just means that I will also have to be very organised when I sort all the different boxes into their relevant places, eg scales, sign-in, front table and shop.

I have done well I think this week with my maintenance I haven't gone over my standard points that I know about as I am continuing to track everyday. I have decided at the moment not to add anymore points to my daily limit, as a maintainer I can add up to six points per day but I want to see how it goes for at least six weeks before I change anything. I know of at least one other gold member who finds that if she uses her extra gold points she puts on weight, and I don't want this to happen at the moment. Maybe when the weather is better and I can ride in the evenings I may well find that I need to add these points, to keep my energy levels up, but for the moment I am going to leave everything as it is.
