Great news lil KC I knew that gain would come off quick! Well done & fair play to you on sticking with it this week, stocking up on low pp snacks & thinking ahead!
Ah thanks Kay, I was a bit negative last week, have to just realise that there will be gains some weeks and that is natural on 'the journey'! I was acting like I had gained all the weight I lost! :rolleyes:0 -

So had WI this morning & I was down 1.75lbs
Really happy about that as I only walked/exercised twice this week due to being Ill with strep! Its also the vanish of that flipping mystery 1.5lb gain 2 weeks ago! So 18lbs gone now in 18 wks - slow & steady but I agree with china foot slow & steady wins the race! 1 more lb & I'm at my 10% gone yay! & 4 more lbs to get me at 11st 13lb how I can't wait to see the 11's
& that should bring my BMI out of the obese range as well!
Have a great weekend everyone, well done on the losses, & good luck to those with WI today & tomorrow & exam girlies who are finished party hard for this weekend & jump back on the wagon Monday! Ye deserve to let your hair down!
As always I'd be lost without the thread so thank you all & good luck with the 'league' I won't participate in this one for the same reasons as the last one, I'm doing this for me & me alone & I wouldn't find it motivating my losses are small each week when averaged out so I don't need a kick to say I'm bottom! As far as I'm concerned I'm top cos I'm competing with me myself & I :P
Good look to ye though & GTI I think you'll be better at it & your way seems more fair than the last attempt! 0 -
Actually I just went onto the WW uk site & checked my BMI .... I'm now at 30 which means I'm overweight but not obese/ very over weight yay!! (ok I know this is prob no big deal for most of ye but I'm 5.3 so it is to me! Woo hoo mini goal reached. Going to paint my nails later to celebrate! 0

Good luck fatgirlslim (great username btw ) I've been doing the at home program for the last 18 wks & it is doable, I use this thread as my 'meeting' definitely get your big shop in to set you up for the week it'll prob take 2 or 3 wks to find your stride food wise ie what you like, what you don't, what's worth the pp, what isn't you're electronic calculator is your best friend in the beginning so I suggest you bring it everywhere! & I'd download the iwatcher app if you have an iPhone or an alternate android app to help with your tracking!
Best of luck 0 -

Got my pack in the post last night so starting today!:D
Unfortunately need to do a full new shop for food cause all my normal diet foods seem to be very high in points! Going to stick to my 29 a day and just keep the extra for saturday's which are my days off, hope I can, really doesn't seem like a lot to work with but it'll force me to eat more fruit and veg!
good luck
Well done om all the weight loss every one:)

I was mad into Diet Coke too although was drinking water along with it but still drinking 3-4 cans a day! I gave it up last wed week so about 10 days off it now and i find that my stomach is a bit flatter since i have given it up but i havent noticed any real difference in weight loss.... I dont drink tea or coffee so it is hard stay off it as life is very boring with just water all day everyday

Its one the other girls on here came up with the wedges recipe which omg i love her for! they are such a nice treat without doing damage.
There just boiled baby potatoes, cut into 1/4's then baked in preheated oven (about 200c) 20 mins, Do make sure the oven is heated, so they come out crisp.
if you want to add seasoning spray with a little oil and sprinkle with what ever season takes your fancy. I just just herbs and chili flakes. I just use the Fry Light lo-cal spray. only needs a few sprays so technically thats 0pp
So all you have to point is the potatoes
100g raw baby potatoes = 2pp
Even tho diet coke is 0pp, i still keep it just as a treat...cos it really makes me bloated0 -

Do you spray them with the spray oil too? I would love to try them. And, do you cut off the skin (that's the bit I hate about BNS? Thanks.
I used to spray them but then ran out of spray so did it without any. It makes no difference at all.
If you cut your BNS along the length like as if you're cutting out round tea coasters then peel them, its sooooooo much easier. You'll love them. I always keep a freezerbag full in the fridge so I can have them if I'm hungary but don't have to go cutting them up. 0 -

Oh dear god I'm just after having a hot chicken sandwich from the deli :eek: Had it on brown bread with butter, mayo and cheese all FULL FAT This is after a very bad week of binge eating. Was so upset after my exam yesterday and I still haven't recovered.
Determined to get back on track as of now. Don't want to be up next week. This rain isn't helping though
Now I'm finished for the summer gonna look at trying new meals and try and get bigger losses.0 -

and do you turn them half way through?
I've tried these countless occasions and cant make them crispy.. except for when i burn them.. :rolleyes:
Also, regarding the wedges.. Laney.. how long do you boil them for? i boiled them for 20 min first time and then 20 min in oven and they were not nice.. then i tried to lower the time in boiling and up the time in the oven.. still were not great.. so thought next time i'll just parboil them 10 min and oven cook for 30-40 min??
Maybe my oven doesn't do crispy???

its really trial and error, to speed up the process cos i'm impatient lol I usually chop them intp wedges, then boil the wedges for about 10 - 15 mins,
and about 20 - 25 mins in oven, i have a mesh wire tray thing that helps them crisp, but make sure the oven is preheated fully.
I'll admit a few times the wedges have just turned out like normal potatoes...but i still like them
i dont really keep an eye on the clock when i'm doing them, when i feel there boiled enough they go into the oven....when i feel there baked enough i serve them up 0 -

I don't turn them but I do cook them on a "chip" tray. You know the one with the holes on the bottom.0 -

Do I pm you my current weight NOW and then give you my WI weight this week on Thursday?
I think what GT is doing is you PM your weight as of next week. So for example, if your weigh in is next Tuesday, you PM your weight after WI on Tuesday and that will be your starting weight for the league and then you will PM your loss every week after that. It's so everyone can get a chance do get in at the start if they want.
On another note, got some really bad news yesterday in relation to my OH residency case. Met with the barristers today and has just put me in a worse mood. Thing is I am not eating loads of bad meals, it's worse, I am picking on JUNK. Have eaten so far, dorito's, 2 sausage rolls, full fat choc bar, bottle of coke (never drink that, duno why I bought it) and picking on dolly mixture. I know I shouldn't reward/treat myself with food/drink to make myself feel better but I just really couldn't care less today. Going to hit the vodka tonight like never before, I know I shouldn't do that either, but I am just not caring at the moment and just feel like I really need it.
Sorry for the rant 0 -

Jeez just finished reading the last 5 days of this thread, really motivated to get back on track now... lets hope this feeling continues. Arrived back from the UK this morning and did a fine big shop as I knew OH wouldn't have anything in, so I'm starting as I mean to go on this week. Tried to be good with my food over the past 5 days, but its so hard when your not the chef, had plenty of veg with my dinner each evening but it was probably laced in butter, try to stick to wraps & salads for lunch but brekkie was a breakfast meeting each morning and the choices were either croissants/scones/pancakes or breakfast rolls..gggrrr.. asked if it would be possible to get a fruit salad and they nearly fell down, I was the only woman amongst 8 men!!! nothing against the men but fruit was not their preferred choice for breakfast.
GT-great idea about the League, think it's something that would have defo been a motivator for me but as I'm at GOAL I won't need to be included. Good luck to all with it tho.
Lady Lainy- A date & a new puppy --- whoop whoop - which one are you more excited about !!!
Chinafoot - Defo agree with "Slow & steady wins the race" as much as it peeed me off with the 1 or 1.5lbs loss each week, i knew that it was better to come off slower.
Had my 10pp chicken pasta bake for dinner this evening and it feels good to know exacly what I'm eating.
Feel really motivated.. fingers crossed it lasts!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
New puppy, New Man (maybe) and today i had my first paying grooming customer! So start of a new career maybe.....thats alot of new to digest!
Excited about the puppy! Could be the start of something big great Hoping to get puppy end of this month, with the first dog show June 20th
Date - Nervous! LOL Its kinda a blind date! We've been talking last few weeks. Saw picture of his dog on facebook! i gave it thumbs up and we've been talking ever since :O0 -
I QUITE:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
I completly understand your feelings but do you really want to quit or are you having a bad day and want an excuse to eat?
Is it really worth quitting? Is it really worth undoing all the good work you've done? Why don't you have the night off, have a treat (or two) of your choice and get a good nights sleep.
It will all look a bit better in the morning. 0 -
