    Best of luck with post Christmas WIs everyone. It probably won't be as bad as you are expecting (certainly wasn't for me!) but even if it is, or if it is worse than you expected just put it to one side.

    Christmas is the most indulgent time of the year, it's hard to lose weight when temptation is all around. Just keep focused and onwards and downwards!!

    I did not do one day of tracking from my last christmas meeting to the one this morning and I lost .5. I think that subconsciously WW has infiltrated my mind! Before when I would have biscuits/sweets at christmas, I would have probably polished off the tin myself (literally eating until I felt physically sick :( ) This year I ate enough to satisfy my craving.... still massively pigged out but compared to other years I suppose it was an improvement.

    +1 for iwatcher. I also use targetweight (think it's free) just to track my weight losses each week.

    Spray a large non stick frying pan with cooking spray and heat until hot. Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened, adding water if it sticks. Stir in the garlic and curry powder and cook for a minutes. Add stock and stir.

    Hopping on the post-Christmas bandwagon :D

    It's almost a year since I joined for the first time, and haven't been to a meeting in months. I kept the majority of the weight off until October when I went to Italy and then what with exams and Christmas I'd say I'm right back where I was this time last year.

    Was meant to go to my meeting tonight but I stayed in my mams for another night (first big mistake, as long as I'm still here it's still Christmas for both of us :P ) so I'll get stuck in with both feet tomorrow and re-join next Monday.

    Starting my new job next Tuesday (eeeeeeekkk!!) so new year, new job, new start. Bring it on!

    Didn't track almost for almost all of the 2 weeks over christmas and managed to lose 3.5 pounds, got my 7pound star sticker too, was surprised to say the least!! Like others have said, WW must be subconciously starting to ingrain in my mind!

    So I went back tonight and had put on a little over a stone in the 9 months I've been away. But i got such a nice surprise, my old leader from 3 years ago was still at the meeting i went to today and she recognised me straight away (without even looking at my card) and gave me such a great welcome back that it made me feel wonderful even though i weighed more than I was expecting and had a really bad day in work. she was the best leader I ever had and got me the closest to goal I'd ever been (half a pound away). A good leader really makes the world of difference.

    I'm so much more motivated know and ready to get straight stuck in tomorrow. have my food planned out for the day and everything. Will more than likely become a regular poster!

    Well done to all who have already had a post xmas WI and good luck to those who have it coming up :)

    Members who would normally start off on 29 points will now be on 26 points (doesn't apply to existing members but you can follow this if you want)

    They are bringing in simply filling days - you don't have to track, you can have anything you want as long as it is a simply filling food (green foods in the purple guide). Think this is great, have done simply filling before and by the end of the week I was really struggling! At least you can take it or leave it this way.

    Also they have released guidelines on how many points you should have for brekkie, lunch, dinner etc. based on a daily allowance of 26 pp.

    We also got a 7 day meal planner with the meals done out for us.

    Happy New Year all :-)

    Uh-oh! didn't go to WW last night. Wanted an extra week to be good this week before assessing the Christmas damage. Relieved to be eating healthily again I have to say. I think I want all the bad stuff but when I overdo it I feel like crap. So if anything, I'm taking this splurge as a positive! I dread to think what i put on but I lost it before and I can lose it again.


    Just wondering will i get these new guidelines next week when I go? Or have I lost out because I missed this weeks meeting? the changes sound interesting, looking forward to it :-)

    I use WW Diary. It's brilliant and free :) It has an activity PP calculator and a tracker and it also tracks your weight, your water/veg/dairy and alcohol intake.

    Here goes!!!!

    First class back tonight, going with my sis....I was doing really well and was 5lb off my goal the last time (just over a year ago) and was laughing all the way to the size 10 clothes rack when I got ill and couldn't exercise or anything.... downhill from there. Too much Jeremy Kyle and sausage rolls and feeling sorry for myself. I would say in the past year I have put up at least 2 and a half stone... Im feckin ragin with meself... but I'm back on both feet now and I am determined...

    I will be relying on all you folks for support... yas were so good the last time! This for me is much better than the meetings could ever be!!!

    Have at least 2.5 stone to lose..... fingers crossed....

    I have downloaded a points calculator on android apps just wondering if anyone else finds any other apps on android good???

    Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I haven't been here in a few weeks as I haven't really been following the plan. Between exams and Christmas I have put on nearly 6lbs :o I drawing a line under it and I'm starting afresh. I've decided to do it by myself for a while as I don't want to waste money like I did last year. I weighed myself this morning and I was down 1.5lbs from last week :)

    Well done to everyone who had losses and to those who had gains you can draw a line over the holiday period and look ahead to the new year. I have a ball coming up this year and I'm going on a sun holiday in June so I'm focusing on those. Its my first sun aka bikini holiday in years so I'm really nervous about it. For those of you starting out its good to focus on these type of events to help you stay on track :)

    Ah girls I am really looking forward to my class now... I can't wait to get back on the bandwagon and share all the success you are having....

    Eabhabear - well done on your weight loss.... I know I wouldn't have the guts to do it on my own coz I would keep lying to myself... I need the classes for that.... but jesus to have the determination to lose weight over christmas ESPECIALLY doing it on your own... fair play!!!! :):):)

    went back tonight and was expecting it to be very bad but wasnt that bad at all, was only up half pound so am happy enough with that, time to start working on getting it and more along with it of now.
    my niece asked me to sponser her for her confirmation and its in March so i have 9 weeks to get down as much weight as possible.
    spoke with my leader and said i should set a goal of 9lb - so 1lb per week.
    that should be doable enought - shouldnt it??
