Wow, thanks for all your responses everyone, I've decided to run them side by side for a week and see what happens! Yes, I have too much spare time on my hands

Today I've hit 20 of 21 points and about 1250 calories, so I'm worried that's not quite enough but I'm not too hungry so let's wait an see what we get. I'm a bit concerned about my defecit (about 700 plus I'm about to hit the stepper) but it sounds like I can get another couple of points for that? I don't get the exercise points or these extra 5 points as I'm only going from a friend's eat wisely ww book which doesn't mention either of these points, could anyone explain??

And thanks again for all the feed back, much appreciated xx

So do you have any plans tonight Jenna? Or are you just watching the tumbleweeds?

I have to do all the cleaning I was too hungover to manage yesterday! Very messy- met a cute guy though and have a proper date to go on this week!

Hi Kerry,

Watching the tumbleweed roll by........

Hi there, first off how tall and how old are you? 1200 is pretty much the bare minimum you should be eating so it's possible that you've hit starvation and the calorie increase is being clung to by your body, hence the big increase. It could also be water retention if you've had more salt or alcohol than usual?

 I should say it's only three pounds- my weight can go up and down by this much overnight- so don't worry too much. 1800 cals is not a huge amount, particularly if you are working out a lot and as you're hitting the gym it's likely that you'll make your weight gain in muscle, not in fat. Chill out! Give yourself a break, and try to stay off the scales and only weigh in once a week, you'll get a more accurate idea of your weight that way.

 And yes, it really will be ok!

The cool thing about the cold is you can put on more and more clothes. When it's hot you can only take off so much before the cops show up. :)

Why is god so cruel that said male 'friends' never look like Jensen Ackels? That's what I want to know!

Yes, I ducked!

 I'm such a bitch, but it was like he was reciting from THE DATE MANUAL- you know, ask questions, nod, be attentive, mirror body language etc. It felt really forced, almost like an interview! And when I gave him a kind of lopsided half hug then jumped into my cab he looked kind of, dejected. And I'm not big headed, I never get when someone is having a crack at me but it was so obvious and overdone it was just awful!

So I went on a date last night........only I didn't realise it was a date until I'd been there an hour...............

 Can anyone say awkward??????
