So that's 7 down in total, 14 more to do, so feels good be 1/3 of the way to my goal.
So just 3 more pounds and I'm half way to goal
Well done- I can imagine that feels great!I found points to be so restrictive! Cooking a dinner for the whole family was difficult when I used WW points as I had to cook separate meals for my son and husband! I’ve recently gone over to the dark side…that’s right…Unislim and to be honest I haven’t looked back! My family enjoys chicken casserole, stir fries and home-made soups and life in the kitchen is so much easier 4me now! I’d recommend it!!! Lost 2stone 2lbs and counting! x
Unislim- the dark side- LOL!0 -
i've been on weight watchers for NINE months...its not a diet anymore. its just healthy eating 38lbs down....hoping for 60 by Christmas! I have set my self two goals. half way mark, then total goal.
Weight in tomorrow. admittingly i've been over eating. but antibiotics are destroying my stomach...so i've been like constanlty starving cos i cant keep anything down!
So fingers crossed for 1lb tomorrow!
College starts tomorrow too. It'll put in a GREAAAAT mood! Got my hair done, all new make up, and shopping for clothes next week. I got the whole saggy butt thing going on cos my jeans are too big now 0 -

Wi - scales says up 2lbs, but i did wake up in the middle of the night like 3am gasping with thirst and drank like 2 pints of water so i think its a false weight in if you know what i mean. ah just means next week it'll show a bigger loss :P
i did no exercise this week. sick as a dog from antibiotics for my tooth, cant keep anything down so i was constantly hungry....constantly eating.
Start of a new week today, start of college. I knew the weeks in and around start of college were going to be messy but once i get my schedule down i'll be okay
Good luck everyone i know alot of ye have thursday WI's 0 -
Weight in last night and i was down 1/2 a lb was a bit upset at first but then it's a step in the right direction isnt it so i'm happy now. Just gonna take each week as it comes.
My goals for this week are to eat my 18pts a day without fail!!!!! and to eat half my exercise points on the day that i earn them (que tons of exercise at the weekend so i can enjoy a munch)
Here's to a good week everyone 0 -

Well done on the weight loss, Louise. I understand what you're saying about cooking seperate dinners. Whatever plan your following won't work if the whole house is part of it.
The key to succeding at WW or unislim is that it's not a diet but a lifestyle change. It's a change in our mindset.
My OH has a pretty restrictive diet due to a long term illness, but we don't cook seperate dinners. He was concerned when I was starting WW that it wasn't going to suit him as he has to have a low fibre diet, so very little fruit and veg for him and no wholewheat bread or pasta.
We work around both our needs, because he needs to watch his weight too.
Part of my weight gain this year was because he had to have a high fat diet, because he was very underweight. (We looked like Jack Spratt and his wife!ha!)
Now he's back to up to a healthy weight, he has to watch that he doesn't get overweight.
We find it's a balancing act. He can't believe how well he feels since we've cut out alot of the takeaways, convenience food and junk.
Best of luck with the rest of your weight loss.0 -
Good for you Louise, sounds like Unislim is really working for you. And you are a great role model for other people on unislim. Maybe you could set up a thread for all the unislim people so you can compare notes and encourage each other?Oh before work this morning I saw Shopping at Home on RTE with some gorgeous men and women success stories from Unislim. It's amazing how losing weight can completely change some peoples' lives! Check it out
There are definitely other ways than WW to lose weight, but I find this thread for us WW people really supportive, encouraging and a great place for us to compare notes on the WW plan. I have not come across any other unislim people on this thread, so would be brill for you if you had other unislimmers to chat to about your journey. Go for it girl 0 -

th natures valley ones are three points for the two fingers!!! If you want to try a lighter cereal bar the alpen light range are only one point !0 -
Yay, got my first silver 7!! I joined 3 weeks ago and am soo happy, as I can't believe how quickly the weight comes off when you just focus and stick to the points allowance! Just a quick question though, does anyone know where I can buy WW Mini Pot Swirls? They look really nice! I love Ben and Jerry's but at an average of 33 points per tub, they're outta the question These will hafta be the next best thing...haven't seen them in the shops though? :P 0

I havent seen the pot swirls anywhere but if you looking for something nice try the skinny cow triple chocolate ice creams..... only 1 and a half points and it is about the same size as a magnum!!! totally totally worth it but they are more expensive than other icecreams.... Tesco stock them anyway0 -
Just back from my first day of college and the first day of the rest of my life
I been running around all day like a mad woman. didnt even get a chance to have lunch which i know is a big no no! didnt even get carrot cake
but hehe decided to have a second weight in just now, and wooopy i'm same as last week, the two lbs of water from this mornings weight in are gone
so from last week no change delighted! down something would have been better. but with the week of maddness i've had and zero exercise i'm THRILLED!
Have my roster for classes infront of me. so just working in excercise sessions. there are a few days where i have 3 hour lunch breaks so going to go for at least an hours walk those days.
i'm doing animal care, so i'm sure there will be a dog or two i can walk
Usually i'm really quite with new people, but oh my god, i couldnt shut up today, chatting and swopping numbers making friends. my self confidence is growing. The fact I can see the change in my self is HUGE, cos I'm my own worst enemy. If i'm feeling this good after 2 + 1/2 stone....omg i cant wait till I'm at my goal.0 -

Yeah I've had them before, the chocolate one is soo nice, they didn't compromise on flavour for such a low cal treat! I'll just hafta keep an eye out for the Swirls, it'd be nice to have a few options for when I get icecream cravings 0 -

Hi everyone,
congrats lainey and rachums on getting through your first day at college
haven't posted for a while though i have been reading, since i was on moaning about my holiday 4lb gain i've managed to lose 2 of them not setting the world on fire but it's better than going up. thanks so much Lainey for that recipe for carbonara it was so so so tasty have had it 3 times now and can't wait to have it again the only thing i changed was the rasher i used 3 bacon medallions from Aldi in the belight range, tesco do some similar if i'm not mistaken. This week prob not the best i've ever had have serious pre menstrual munchie though haven't dug in to the choc yet but still exceeding my point allowance 0 -

Yeah i use the ham bits from aldi, there are bacon bits which have all the fatty bits on them, but the HAM bits is just pure lean pink ham cubes 75g packet for 1.5pts. its just less hassel than trying to chop up a rasher, and you get alot more meat too for your points valu.0 -

i know cinema food is crazy expensive! and jellies cost a small fortune!
Im down two this week, so nine pounds in four weeks
I know its crazy, im happy its off but i cant see were its coming from!
Congrats!! I know I felt the exact same at the start, for the first two weeks I was convinced I hadnt lost anything and that it was just the difference in clothes etc, and then I was trying to figure out where it went because I couldn't see it yet!
You kinda expect to see a chunk of you missing or like half an ass cheek disappearing!!0 -

okay I'm a bit confused. I stayed the same this week. I knew I had to of lost weight. I was so good this week, prob one of my best ever.. So i was expecting 2 pound at least. last week I lost 3 and didn't put in as much effort anyways my bf done the diet with me as well and tbh I had a feeling he would lost about 6 pound because he is a big lad and we were strict this week .. anyways he weighed himself on the same scales and he was up 1 which is impossible
we both weighed ourselves in Boots where we normally do. I'm confused if its right or not and now I don't know if I lost weight or not ughh I'm not making excuses for myself because I really worked my butt off and its gutting to be the same weight 0 -

Had WI tonight - was down a pound, so 90lbs (6 stone 6 lb) off so far. I've got to keep going, am 35lbs away from a healthy BMI!
EDIT : Big giant milestone this week - I am officially NO LONGER OBESE! | BMI of 29.8 is MERELY overweight. I have been obese for easily a decade, this was the best news I've had in ages, tis even better than the freak 11lbs weight loss from two weeks ago!
Congratulations, fatewatchers, that's fantastic.
Keep up the good work 0
