Isn't it amazing how good that feels??
Well done
Oh wow, well done - love those moments! You should be well proud of your achievements! Need one of them soon after and kick up the a** after geting on the scalesAh well done, its always great to hear that people notice! You must be delighted.Good for you. I'm sure that was a proud moment.
It felt sooooo good, big boost for the self-esteem!!
PS:
I might just bow out of the weight league gracefully, too much 'bad;' feeling about it.
why dont we just use a system where first time people provide their wi figures it becomes their starting weight, then report weekly and overall %s on an ongoing basis, this way people can join at any stage or someone doesnt get dropped just because they forgot to PM.0 -

I'm very delighted tonight, I'm heading out Saturday night when my exams finish and was looking for something to wear.
I have my wardrobe kinda organised by stuff that fits me, not intentionally but just the stuff I normally wear ends up on one side...and I pulled out a dress I wore to a wedding in Oct 09...its a beautiful dress, was a bit small on me when I wore it so wasn't expecting it to fit me tonight...but it did and its a 16! From Warehouse!! I nearly danced around the room!
Eventually settled for a black dress I've worn millions of times before, quite forgiving, but with a purple belt to jazz it up (and make my waist look small)
To be completely honest, I had hoped to be a little smaller 21lb down, meant to be 2 dress sizes... I know its stupid and it would be worse if I hadn't lost anything but I still can't see it myself.
Anyways...onwards and downwards and I'm sure I will soon
2 exams left:D:D:D 0 -
Gosh but this is a very chatty thread!
Well done to everyone who's had losses this week or STS even!
Today was the first day in my almost 3 weeks of WW that I felt I didn't spend the day thinking about food and my next meal etc., and really felt this is do-able to the end of the journey, and even more strangely I actually went walking tonight, I'm not usually home from work till 7.30p.m. on the days I work and then there's dinner to be had etc so those 3 days I don't bother walking but tonight I went off for a 40 mins walk and I feel all the better for doing it! :rolleyes:
Hope exams are going well for everyone, ope the date went well Lainy!

Have you tried the no point soup, maybe that would fill you up for lunch on Saturday so you'd have a few extra points for that night?
I'm not much help to you, I'm one of those boring people who rarely venture out on a Saturday night! In fact I'm kinda dreading next Saturday night as we're going to friend's for dinner and it'll be the first time since I started WW that I won't have full control over what goes into my gob! 0 -

Ah, no......and you were so up for it this week. You'll just have to keep the excitement going a bit longer. Remember.....good things come to he who waits. (or something like that, you get my drift).0 -

good luck for your date Lainy
Lainy, we are all going to be dying to hear about your date this could turn into a different kinda thread....how to win dates and influence people. You've even inspired me to set a date with my hubby of 21 years.....the Eurovision final on Sat night with homemade burgers followed by a giant bag of malteasers. 0 -

I bought the weight watchers cook book and have just had a go making the flap jacks and pineapple muffins! flapjacks are yummy but falling apart a bit LOL muffins in the over so see what they are like when they are done.
I can post recipes if any one wants them
Would you mind putting up the muffin recipe? Thanks
I'm so totally jealous of everyone who is getting these amazing losses this week!
In other news, I told my mam last night that I was doing WW. She mentioned that some chap at work is doing it and he looks great now, she was impressed by it. So I mentioned that I have been doing it and she goes "I hope you don't get any skinnier, I think you are getting a bit obssessed with this" :eek: I cannot win If I hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have said a thing Oh well. Hopefully I will be down tomorrow, only 3.5lbs to goal It seems so far away though 0 -

we'll have to make up some jibberish about how its the physiological benefits of weight loss :P which might be kinda true :P its not till monday....cos i look like death with a hang over at the moment from exam stress....nice shade of grey pale with black and yellow circles under the eyes...lashing the water into me!
Like i'm not even half way thru my weight loss but already the changes in my self..my mind set, my attitude towards things...braver about life....haha i'll be taking over the world WHEN i get to goal :P You'll be seeing me a nationwide in years to come giving interviews about how i started a business empire!0 -
just walked for 60 mins fairly fast , got caught in a very heavy shower but on a good note - my daughter slept the whole way which is a change for her wanting to get out of the buggy all the time so a really good morning so far:D. Had my 40g porridge (4pp) and got my exercise in. Off to the supermarket later for more blueberries. I'm addicted to them. They actually stop me craving sweets:eek:. Loving all the foods you can eat on this program. I actually believe now it will work for me . So glad i joined now . I just really hope i can stay motivated. Its usually the stress with the kids that makes me eat so im trying to blur out the stress and take deep breaths inside of reaching for the cupboards:)
well done, i really believe this programme works because you can eat everything in moderation 0 -

if u miss a week u get deleted , so it went from 20 odd people to 9 people , and i was always just gonna do it for 4 weeks to see how it goes and then longer
Well, that is wrong. I know for a FACT that I PM'd you, see screenshot attached. I can't talk for the others, but they did say they PM'd you.
Anyway, good luck with it, but I won't be in it this time.

Had my WI last night and I was up 1lb. Tbh, it was better than expected after all the crap I ate all week! I think the fact that I had been good the previous week (but it didn't show because of TOTM) benefited me.
Anyway, I now have 6lbs to go before I'm officially 3 stone down and I want to have that off before I go to Take That on 18th June so back on the right road today.
Lainy - hope the date goes well - make sure to spill ALL the beans here...
GTI - congrats on your compliment (LOVE when that happens)
Welcome to all the newbies and well done to all of you who lost weight this week.
As for the league table, I think I'll stay out of it this time. For me, it hasn't served it's purpose which was to motivate me to stay on track, so I wish you all the best of luck with it but as the Dragons in the Den say "I'm out". 0 -

eeeep i'd never make 7lbs by then! But going to aim for maybe 4lb - 5lbs i'd be happy with that! So going to be up up up this saturday! I predict a session in the pub tomorrow starting at lunch time after last exam. Its just this time of year....within 10 days of each other have my brothers brother, my aunts birthday, my uncles birthday, my cousins birthday....and all the younger cousins are hitting the communion this year...so have 3 family communions, then throw in exam craziness this year....i hate may!0 -

If Eircom_sucks doesnt mind, I can have a cut off doing the league thingy, I would attack it slighly different, anyone can join at any time, I'll give weekly%, overall % and date joined the league(i.e no. of weeks in the overall%).
only a suggestion0 -
