@Baby75 - Sorry to hear that. That must have been very demotivating. I mostly only lose a half a week and that is with busting my guts! My leader always keeps my morale up and telling me not to let it get to me, my body is just that way etc. So you will feel better if you say it to her next week. Meetings are there to keep you going on the plan not put you off it!

Just a quick question though - had a large fishcake at work today. It was carvery, breaded and deep fat fried and wonderfully delicious. But just trying to figure out propoints now and haven't a clue. It was about 2.5cm high and 12cm across. Any help and guesstimations would be greaatly appreciated. Thanks

The tiny birdseye ones are 5pp for 2 oven cooked fish cakes, A battered fish from the take away is 16 so I would guess 10 for your one but thats a total guess!

Hey Ali,
I was thrilled with -1lb this week and now just 1.5lbs to go to reach 10%
And then 3lbs to lose to get into 14's - woohoo!!!

I'd be disheartened too if my leader gave me that sort of response. You need a bit of encouragement to stick at it not grief - especially if your doing your best! I'd say put it out of your head and concentrate on what you want to achieve and how good you'll look when you get there! And mightn't do any harm to try a different ww meeting in your area?? Good luck and stick at it!!

Thanks maggieMay
Yea I know, its not the first time with this leader either my last leader was very supportive used to tell you not to worry about being up esp when you weren't happy about it she never forgot important information about you either, I mean I would be happy to see a loss each week no matter how small doing nothing is far worse!

I'm actually also thinking of changing class!

I think I will try another meeting, I love the morning meeting but there is another on around the same time so might check that out bit of a walk though ! good luck this week hope you see that 10% I'm nearly at mine as well was only 0.5 but 2 pounds to it now I will get it though!

well done both of you

[psycho-hope]

hey all, hows everyone's week going, has anyone tried the filling and healthy days, been stuck at the same weight the last 2 weeks so my leader thinks it might give me a kick, its looks easy enough...almost too easy

[twirlagig]

Well done all - again!

What a beautiful evening this evening - went for a lovely long walk after work, came home, showered, put a colour in my hair, had lovely lasagne and a mountain of veg!... 'And I'm feeling good.... ♪'
Determined to be extra good from now til next WI on Wednesday - touch wood!

Friday already Good luck all for the weekend and the coming week!

[Casher]

Stood on the scales this morn for a sneeky one and saw the magic number of 11, well 11st 13.5 to be exact but still, way hay!!! Just need to keep it going to make it official for my ww@home WI on Monday. Got that Friday feeling now!!
