we are indeed our own worst enemy but being honest about it is the first step in the right direction.....I am a self confessed chocoholic who has the willpower of a flea
but by making small changes I am slowly wining the battle......first change is DON'T BUY THE JUNK!!! If its not in the house you can't eat it 
I am an emotional eater.....when I get stressed....I eat.....when I get angry .....I eat......when I get upset......yup I eat.......so I only have healthy treats in the house......yougurts, fruits, the yummy bran muffins Lainy mentioned (great recipe, easy to make and YUMMO), so at least when i get the munchies I am not eating rubbish!!! I have fallen off the wagon a few times:o:o but the important thing is to admit it, dust yourself off and climb back on it and get going again!! write down what you eat when you have a bad day, point it and stick it to the biscuit tin.....when you see the wasted points:eek:, you will think twice before doing it again!!!
this thread is great, everyone helps out with hints, tips or just a shoulder to cry on.....lets face it, we have all been there :cool: so draw a line in the sand and start again.....we are all taking this weight loss journey together....1lb at a time
You are so right! I must draw a line in the sand and start again instead of giving up completly. I think I want to magic it all away over night! Hopefully i will get back on track, this thread is brilliant just reading all the stories and realising that I am not a total weirdo! Panicing now hopefully the Summer is on the way and I can't fit into my cloths. Sick is hiding under baggy shapeless cloths:(.Thanks to all:)0 -
30 gr looks pathetic and is too littlle to fill you up. If you get tired of porridge, wheat bix for me is the best thing. Two biscuits is just 3 pp and you can bulk it out with banana and other fruit. My dh always has it with warm milk... says it is nicer, haven't tried that yet!
Would reccomend 40g instead of the 30g. Used to have 30g porridge and was starving by the time tea break came at work but the 40g with a handful of fruit is brill and means I only need some fruit and yogurt for tea break. had it ith raspberries this a.m. instead of my usual blueberries and 'twas gorgeous!
Punnets raspberries only 99cents in Lidl this week! 0 -

Hiya, I'm new to this thread but have been reading it for a while and have read some great tips here. I just had my third weigh in yesterday and like you was a bit gutted in my first week as had read about all these massive weight losses the first week and when I only lost 1.5 I felt a bit deflated. 3 weeks on though and I just got my first 7 yesterday. It might not be as quick as I would have hoped but it's coming off and the changes I am making are ones I can stick too. One bit of advice I would give you is lay low on the bread, even within your points. This definitely helped me last week without a doubt, although I know everyone is different. I had 17 weeks to lose 44 pounds before a holiday in September. It would be awesome If I get all the way but even if I get half way there I'll still be looking a hell of a lot better than this time 3 weeks ago. Onwards and downwards I say
and that is the average....usually takes about 3 weeks to get the 1st silver 7 so your right on schedule so to speak
yeah....definately.....bread is a killer....even ww bread....it just does not agree with me....i gain like crazy...even if its within my dailies...i might have the odd bit of bread....but i'll have it out...where the portion is controled....like subway or bagel bar0 -

well I am well out side the average Im 7 weeks on PP and am 2 pounds off my first 7 pounds gone in ww but have lost each week its slow and steady and I did have a sneaky peek at the scales this morning and FX they are right I liked what they showed even got off and back on again LOL FX I have that result when I step on the scales this week
if not getting my first silver 7 will do even 0 -

Hey all,
took a little break from all things electronic over the weekend and it felt great!
I was so relaxed and chilled going back to work yesterday. I done exactly what I wanted to do over the weekend - spent time with family, nice walks, relaxed.
Food wasn't as good as it could have been, but feck it, I hadn't had take away in about a month and won't be having it again for a long time.
WI today not sure how it's going to go, forgot to bring my little pumps with me, as I had forgotten it was Wednesday! Am wearing big boots, but sure if i'm down, i'm down and If i'm not I'll blame the boots! haha!
Lainy, you were talking about the WW mag...I buy it every month for the recipes but the last two editions have been really great since the revamp! This months stories were really inspiring, and that man that lost 19st...wow! Myself and OH were blown away just by his stats!
Re-starting C25k this evening. My best friend is home for the summer now, and we're determined to get fit. She wants to loose a bit of weight too. We had a good walk on monday and used this OAP outdoor gym, but really felt the benefits afterwards. Hopefully rain clears up later 0 -

Hi
What I need is any advise on HOW TO DO it............
What motivates you...
What gets up 1hr early for that run
What makes you stop on the way home for the gym
What makes you not eat the dairy milk.....
Losing weight is a personal adventure and you gotta sit down and figure out why you want to start the journey.....we all have a different tale to tell but I think it starts with wanting a change!!!
For me its for my kids, I have two gorgeous, active little people and I am tired of watching from the sidelines cause I can't last more then 5 mins running around after them!!! I gotta stay healthy for them cause I want to see them grow up, I have a terrible sweet tooth and was heading down the diabetes route so it was time to sort myself out plus I didn't want to pass my bad food habits on to them!!! Now they eat healthy by default cause I cook healthy, they eat fruit and veg and enjoy their meals and I get to feel like a mom again!!!
and to be perfectly honest I do it for me I am sick and tired of being overweight, I got myself this way by indulging and I can get myself out of it by changing my ways!!! I want to look nice in my clothes and be able to wear the shoes I want not the icky sensible ones cause they are all that will fit......its vain I know but its the combination on things that gets me off the couch and on the treadmill......that helps me to say NO to chocolate and crisps (my DH works for a crisp company......but they stay in his van and not on my hips )
This thread is a great place to find help and be inspired, everyone here has been where you are, fallen off the wagon, got back on, had good and bad days but we will get there in the end......
my leader once said 'Losing weight is not a sprint its a marathon' it takes alot of hard work but I really believe its worth it in the end :cool: hope that helps 0 -
Lainy, that is such an inspiring post - fair play to you for being so honest!
I'm also losing weight for me! I have spent the best part of the last year looking after everyone else in my family, extended family, friends and then the stress of my job on top of all that. Every Jan, I make a list of New Year's Resolutions and every year I put "Lose weight" done and this year, I just got sick of it. I got sick of looking in the mirror at all the wobbly bits, fed up of being bigger than my sister and my mam and all my cousins, fed up of not being happy with what I saw in the mirror!
So that is what motivates me to put the chocolate down and get out and do some running! 0 -

Very nice, I'm veggie too, can you post up the recipe and pp per portion?
You're making me hungry:D
Trousers feeling looser today, feeling great about dieting today, can almost see my goal in the very, very, very far distance:D0 -

thats the beauty! I'm not even veggie! I just like it cos its lower in pp and isnt actually that bad...once seasoned right
This recipe SHOULD serve 4 at 10pp each....but I have higher point allowance and i like big portions...so i have it devided into 3 portions at 14pp each.
Today while making it I added some extra paaasta, a second onion, and some finely diced baby carrots...cos i'm REALLY REALLY trying to get more fruit and veg into my diet...i'm uselss at eating veg! So as I'm takinga bigger portion I wont be spendng points on a side!
Its a recipe i tweaked and taylored to suit what i had in the press...stole bits of it from various lasagne recipes i'd seen online and read about on here 0 -
