Girls, i'm the same but felt too ashamed to post. Was very bold at the weekend and also can't get properly back on track. Tiny, you are like my twin, I too had a cereal this morning and didn't weigh it like I usually do and had a packet of tayto for afternoon break instead of usually a WW bar or fruit
I have also sent myself into a downward spiral of depression after stepping on my home scales. Showing a gain of 3lb. If it's not fluid retention and I see that number at WI on Thursday, I will be so upset. It's taken me 7 weeks to lose 7.5lb so gaining 3lb almost makes it not even worth while. It makes me think, why do I bother, working so hard and then going out at the weekend (which inevitably is going to happen at least once a month, I can't/don't want to become a hermit just because I want to lose weight) and then ending up back at square one.
don't be hard on yourself monife.... i found it was like a weight lifted off me when i admitted to myself and to everyone on here how bad my week had been. it kinda makes you face it and move on. You are brilliant for motivation for other people on this so don't give up. Like we were saying yesterday, you can't expect to sail through life with WW friendly options available all the time. I was kidding myself about that for the last few months. This week was a disaster..... but it was a kick in my backside to show me that i can have bad weeks and not totally fall off the wagon. As someone said earlier, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Whether you have 10lb or 10st to lose you will always have obstacles in the way...its lifes way of fecking with us....
I was really thinking of not going to WI tonight, I am mortified at my own lack of restraint.... but i feel like, this week is over (well as of tonight anyway) and tomorrow is a new day and that will be better.
You are doing brilliantly, starting to lose weight is always a shock to the system. Just don't let one week wreck your whole journey... just picture yourself on the WW website telling your story when you get to goal
:P ... and you will get there! you, like so many of us, want it too much to give up for good!
sorry for the long post, just you have helped me sooooo much through my journey so far, just trying to repay the favour a small bit.... xxxx0 -

Well done on all the great losses and to those that STS or gained draw a line under it NOW. Don't wait until tomorrow start now.
DAs Kitty good luck tonight. I really hope you get it as I know how long you've been trying
To those struggling after the weekend, remember that life is life. You need to fit WW into your life and not your life into WW. One weekend isn't going to derail you in the long run unless you let it. You've all done really well so far so keep it up. It could be good to do a bit of a refresher e.g. look back at old photos, write out reasons as to why you want to lose weight, think about how you felt before you started losing, think about how you'll feel when you get to goal. It's a VERY tough journey but the slower the better as you'll keep it off for life then.
I was down 0.5lb today I know it doesn't seem a lot but to me it's a loss. I've struggled with a serious plateau for a while now but I think I may have found my way out of it. I also lost an inch on my thighs, hips and waist and four inches on my stomach 
I went to Pennys today as well and I tried on shorts but with leggings underneath as I'm not a fan of my legs. Anyway I felt uncomfortable and fat so I took off the leggings and I was shocked with how well my legs actually looked in the shorts. Now they're still a long way off perfect but the shorts looked much better without the leggings than with 0 -

Hi Guys,
Quick one for ya.
http://www.weightwatchers.co.uk/food/rcp/index.aspx?recipeid=7009542
Im looking at the attached spag boll recipe - i love spag boll so always trying out different recipes, the smallest changes can change the taste so much & never actually followed the ww recipe to a T, slightly worried bout the curry powder but worth a try
Just wondering as I've never used a recipe from the UK site before - it says pro points value 9, servings 4 - can i presume this is 9pp per serving so 36 pp for the whole recipe?
Also it says 4 portions of pasta, is this 30g's * 4?
Any advise would be great.
Thanks & heres to a better week than last0 -

Got it!
Down 2lb. 4 weeks maintenance now and I will have my hot little hands on my goldcard after 10 years on and off.
WOW Congrats - the week after a long weekend and everything.
True inspiration that it doesn't matter how long it takes we will all get there there in the end
Well done & congrats again0 -

They used to do ww chocolate digestives which were a 1pp per biscuit but they have not been in for a while
Does anywhere still do the cheese / sausages / ham and rasers? Dunnes used to stock a lot of the ww food but not anymore it would appear?
Hey mrs crilly was up in JCs a couple of weeks ago. It's great for the ww treats:) I have tried everywhere for those ww choc digestives but can't find them anywhere!! Haven't even tasted them yet are they nice?? I have been eating the snack size of the yellow snack bar which is 2pp. But 2 digestives would seem like so much more if only I could find them!
The ww choc brownie desserts are yummy, they do them in JCs and are only 4pp-well worth it, they are Amazing:P
Only place I have seen to do the ww sausages is super valu raheny and superquinn sutton. It's crazy that you have to travel around so many different shops just to get the stuff you need. lol:rolleyes:
I was up in Omni yesterday and they have this new shop up the boots/cinema end of the car park called Dealz. It is really really good. Everything in the shop is €1.49 and they have a decent selection of ww foods too. Worth a visit if you're in the area:D0 -

I came home from work yesterday and had feck all in the house.... i chopped some mushrooms, onions, a carrot and some frozen chopped peppers threw them into a pot with a small bit of curry powder and cumin and did some cous cous with water from the kettle. It was the best tasting bits and bobs dinner i had in ages!!!
Just back from WI.... I STS!!! phew!!!!!! I can't believe it... I felt like crying! I was sooooooo thrilled. You would swear she was after telling me I had lost a stone! Im back on track now for this week... just stocked up with a few bits and pieces from tesco on my way home.
Well done on the STS, I won't be so lucky tomorrow. Cannot get my motivation back at all. New week tomorrow, new start after WI I suppose:rolleyes:
Which cous cous do you use and how many pp? I always want to get it but thought it was very high pp wise

I use the one from aldi... i think... I get it when I am running low because I tip it all into a container... you know, like a smaller version of the ones for cereal....
I used 20g of dried (not a lot I know, but it bulks so much....) so I pp at 2pp.... (purple book says its 6pp for 60g dried) My plate would have been mounded with food if i did the 60pp)
Im in complete shock about STS.... my scales here had me up 1 or 2 throughout the day... I was let off very easily.... Im not taking that many chances again.... If I go a bit haywire Im going to get moving and exercise... I knew I hadn't done nearly enough to offset my madness.... I was killing myself yesterday to make up for it....0 -

Down a pound tonight, I am happy with that considering I was out on the beer all day Saturday and had a 12 inch pizza on the way home from the pub!Lads if I can do it anyone can, I was classed as obese on Sept 1st 2011, my BMI is now 24.
Congrats, may I ask how much weight you have lost? Heaviest I ever have been is 14'8. I have been around 13'6 for the last year or so. Now I want to stop the messing and get down to 12 stone.
After that I will try for 11'7 thats my ultimate goal.Hey mrs crilly was up in JCs a couple of weeks ago.

The choc digestives are their oat biscuits but with chocolate, you would eat the whole pack of them they are quality!! I might email JC and ask them if they will be getting them in again.
I love the beef in peppercorn sauce meal with the veg, nice for a Friday treat with some extra chips on the side 0
