Thanks, Ali85, I think I might find the motivation I need here!.. hopefully anyway!also had a look at your blog, some nice recipes that I shall be testing! I'll let ye know how my monday night weigh in goes... hopefully this week i'll be down!
No problem Carneen...
Try the Tomato, Celery & Apple soup... It sounds really strange I know, and I'm not really a big fan of celery but I had it yesterday at lunchtime and it is a really lovely soup... WAs really surprised to be honest, I thought it would be one that I would try and then say ..." ehhhhh never again" Some of my friends in work tried it and thought it was lovely...
Going to make the muffins today with the little one, she loves baking!
Good luck hun!Would love to know how people stay motivated/ on track?
I have no doubts that the ww system is effective and works but from previous posts its probably clear that my willpower isn't the best at times, do ye reward yourselves at every silver 7 or remind yourselves of yer goal?
I really really wanna get to goal and maintain this time but I'm really concerned that my eating habits haven't really changed- so I'm not gonna be successful! I can go great for 4/5 days and then I just binge- almost for the sake of it, really need to break this crappy habit!! :mad:
I am probably going to be killed for this, but I treat myself every time I lose, even if it is only a half a pound... I have my WI on a wednesday evening, so each Wednesday I am very careful with my pp during the day so I generally have 18 or so pp left by WI and if i lose i treat myself and the OH to something naughty, like a bag of chips or a singapore chow mein, something like that that I have been generally been avoiding. (obviously i use the rest of my dailies for this and then if i go over i take them from the weeklies for the coming week) If I don't lose, I don't get, and its a kick in the backside to lose next week...
Also instead of setting out goals like silver 7s or stones, I set out smaller ones, like the 5% or 10% or into the next stone, 10lb total loss... as well as the general ones... So even if i am 6lb off my next silver 7 there is generally some little goal in between.
As everyone says on here, ya have to live your life too.... If you live within the realms of WW constantly you will end up getting really fizzed off and you are more likely to throw in the towel...
Find some low cal alternatives for what you like too.... so on days when you need comfort food (like TOTM) you can still have the nice things you like.
I know I have rambled on a bit, but a lot of the things that keep me motivated are tips that I picked up on here.... 0 -

my gang love granby burgers... so got them a few.... got muffins for myself and burger buns for their granbys... imagine my shock when i pointed the muffins and the burger buns... only 3pp in the burger buns and 4 in the muffins....
Still the muffins are lovely for breakfast/brunch! 0 -
Day one of the (conscious) exercise addition to the plan. I'm dog sitting this weekend so I took the dog on a walk. I didn't bring my fon so im not sure how long it took me, but i mapped it on mapmyrun.com at it was 6k. For the first day, I'm very happy with that and I know i was out for just less then an hour. I did the mini marathon last year in 1hr 12m so i'm hoping to get it done in about 50 mins this year. I want to increase my walking speed and increase my stamina for running/jogging. I literally got home about 12 seconds before the heavens opened. I reckon someone up there was looking after me, as I would have been totally unlikely to go again tomorrow if i had gotten drenched!
I made some 0pp soup for the weekend and it turned out well. 3 sticks of celery, 2 carrots, 2 onions, 4 cloves garlic, a bag of carrot & swede mix (reduced to 20c in tesco!!) and a courgette. I sweated all of the veg up with a spoon of smoked paprika, a large pinch of chilli, salt and pepper and some basil. once they started to soften, I added a liter and a half of chicken stock (2 stock cubes) and a few 'glugs' of passata. boiled it all up for about 40 mins and blended until very very smooth. I then added a punnet of mushrooms and simmered until they were soft. Very nice and warming on a cold evening
Good luck with the weekend everyone0 -

Just had a lovely evening, just me and me little one...
We made our own pizzas but instead of the usual pizza base, I got small ciabattas. (5pp each) and put passata with garlic and herbs on for sauce topped with loadsa veggies and chorizo... oh and low fat cheddar and mozzarella... was lovely, really filling and only 9pp with all the cheese and chorizo.. soooo tasty... topped it off with a fruit salad with a tablespoon of honey over the top and some sugar free jelly. Was absolutely gorgeous!
Even treated ourselves to the apple & raspberry muffin we made earlier.. only 4pp each.
such a good day and stayed within my dailies...
Hope everyone is having a good weekend! 0 -

Well done on the losses!...
My WI was today, and down 1lb...Was eating out a few times this week, and drinking out too, so happy enough to be honest....
I weigh myself in the gym, and the weird thing was that there was 0.6kg of a difference between my weight at the start and end of workout...I used the pre-workout weight, which was higher...
Quick question for all the Eating Out Pointers out there...Does anyone have pp value for Crackbird? - particularly for the very lovely Soy & Garlic Chicken....
Thanks in advance...
I had crackbird in December if i find my notes from then il have the points guesstimate i made, i asked them for nvs but they had none and could not tell me the calories
so i broke it down into the pieces of chicken i ate and then added on for the skin and oil etc 0 -

Hi there in response to your quote below, there are 99 calories in Corona Light, not sure of the points sorry.
They dont use calories when calculating propoints in beer. I know coors light is the same as other beers so I would imagine corona light would be too - unless its a lower percentage alcohol. Then it would be lower.
If anyone got the last RTE guide WW supplement then you have to make the Chocolate and Berry Roulade! It is DELICIOUS. I made it for my family when they came over on saturday and it was a huge hit. Even my mum who doesnt like desserts ate a piece. And not difficult at all to make. Also got a good workout making it cos I dont have an electric whisk - so getting the egg whites to soft peaks was hard work 0 -

Hi Tiny, Was going to ask how that turned out! I'm raging cos I through out the guide in a big clear-up over the weekend without taking out the ww section! But at least the house is relatively tidy for a change!
Went to a zumba class for the 1st time on friday eve as well - absolutely loved it and hoping to get to another one this eve. Also bought the zumba game for the wii online today and can't wait until it arrives. Slightly addicted after one class in case you can't tell!
Just hope I can keep it up.
Not too sure how WI will go tomorrow. I stayed within my points (just about cos I was at a birthday party saturday night) but really hoping to see a drop after the +0.5 last week.
Hope everyone else is doing well - I just love logging on and reading the posts. It's great to hear how everyone else is getting on! Keep up the good work!0 -

Good luck with your WI tomorrow - I have mine tomorrow to so fingers crossed for both of us 0 -

So, I had a bad weekend, pretty annoyed as I had a good loss last week and feel like I've ruined that now. Was out Sat night and overdid it, then on Sunday I wasn't much better. Was feeling a bit shook and couldn't warm up so I was bloody picking all day long! :mad:
Swore I would be better today, started well but had to drop in some leaflets to a friends restaurant and then I saw them........ Pancakes! :eek: Could not resist and had them with crispy bacon and maple syrup! :eek: They were yum but I'm not eating another thing for the night apart from a couple of satsumas!
Back to the grindstone now for me!
Have a good week everyone! x 0 -

Sadly ww friendly cupcakes jus dnt cut it 4my friends!!! The cake itself wil be fine but the frostings just dont turn out the same, xtra light cream cheese for example makes the icing way to runny, try addig more icing sugar not only do the points go up but the icing just becomes gritty!!! I make them all them time 4 family and friends and evn sell some, so im so used to them i dont see them as a novelty or a treat and sometimes wouldnt even have one, so im not too pushed bout making them ww friendly!! I do hAve pleantly of recipies for low fat muffins etc anyway.
Twix cupcakes sound nice, ww freindly or not!!!lol those cadburys caramel bites you can get are lovely in them too!!! fruity cupcakes are my fav ww-wise!!! 0 -

This is my first post on here so I may be doing this wrong so apologies in advance! I'm the same as you twirl, had a terrible weekend! Not looking forward to Wednesday at all! To make matters worse, I skipped class last week as I'd put on 0.5lb the week before and wanted to try and give myself a week to get back on track and have a loss this week.. I know I know it's not the way it works, need a good kick up the arse! I started off really well the first week in January but I seem to give up then after a couple of weeks and lose all motivation. I actually just get sick of the counting and having to think about food ALL the time. Anyone any tips to keep on track of tracking!?
Welcome Ally!
We're in the same boat so! Let's get back on track this week, eh? This thread is brilliant, get stuck in! And we all fall down, most important thing is to get back up again! Good Luck with your WI on Wednesday -thats my day too! If I have a STS, I'll be more than happy this week! 0 -

I can never find those sausages None of the Supervalu's near me ever have them (but they always have the Gluten free ones which are not low in points)
__________________________________________________________
Girls, I too slipped up a bit this week. I was good enough on the weekend (used all my weeklies but made good choices) but tonight I was too lazy to make dinner after I did the shopping so I had a demi baguette with sausages for dinner and a few drinks and 2 packets of crisps ooops... hope it didn't do too much damage, would be happy with STS this week but have a feeling i'll be up, even though I didn't go over by more than 15PP in total, so technically I shouldn't be up, but my body doesn't work like that If I go over by a few PP, I am instantly up 0
