I'm still addicted to the butternut squash at the moment.... am going for a roasted tomato and red pepper soup tomorrow....
Don't know if any of ya seen it, but Aldi are doing 2 Avocados for 49c (or 45c... not sure) but considering they were 1 something each in Tesco for a small one, I thought it was a steal... going to make some guacamole this evening... I'm really gettin into this cooking buzz!!!
Count down is on to WI.... 4 hours 25mins and counting!
Did an hour on Wii fit this morning, so hoping it will show on the scales... I have been soooo good...
Good luck to anyone else getting WI today and tomorrow....
Ooooooh!... I was looking at a programme yest that was serving guacamole & tortilla chips & have been thinking about it ever since, but had written something like that off beacuse of the points!
So do tell! How are you making yours and do you have the points value?!
YUM ! 0 -

Somehow I think 10st 10lb might be a bit to thin for me though we will see as it gets closer I have a lot of people saying I'm getting to thin now (12st 2lb and 5ft 5in) but I guess they are just people used to seeing me as chubby I don't know what to ye think?
I say go with whatever you feel comfortable with yourself too Lisa. I'm 5ft 5" and I'm looking to get down to 9 or 9 and a half from 12st. I've been that before and was definitely not too skinny, was still a size 12 actually. Go with watever you think yourself, coz no one knows you better than you. I have a friend, even now when I've only just started WW is saying, why are you doing WW well make sure you don't loose too much now, as if she's a concerned citizen. But I tell ye she's a size 6-8 and I'm a 14, so eh yeah don't be patronising me. But I know she has a weight issue and keeps herself especially small, so I think it would just make her feel better to see me stay bigger. Well I'm sorry, but that ain't gonna happen ha ha 0 -

I'm a little shorter than you lisa, 5ft4 and I am 12st 2.5.... (you're beatin me by 1/2 a pound ya wagon!!! :P ) and my BMI is 27.8 (according to the Wii fit anyway...) I have the same problem.... some people saying i am mad to be doing WW but i just dont feel healthy. I have really skinny legs... but I carry my weight around my middle, I'm just not happy with it... i feel like i look like a mr. man....
its your own personal feelings on your weight.... people will just have to get used to looking at the new skinny you!!!! 0 -

Totally agree with you BaileyPants.... sometimes I get the impression some people want to keep their "chubby friend" to make themselves feel better. Like you say... that's their issue not yours!0 -

Ah yeah, sure go and see how you get on. I went to a boxerfit on my own before and we had to pair up because one person puts on the gloves and the other holds the pads that you hit. So you might be doing that for a bit of the class

I can't believe you just called me chubby Ali ?!?!!!

Hi there! Abs delighted I found this thread.. Slowly but surely reading my way through each post!
Decided to introduce myself as I think support (however anonymous it may be
)
Recently my Dad became very ill and it is very important for him to regain the weight he lost and because of that our house is filled to the brim with high fat, calorific and high fat foods which provide HUGE temptation for me!
Thankfully the nearest WW meeting turned out to be very near my house so I have no excuse but to go!
I abs LOVE the new pro points system, shocked at the increase in the points values of foods high in protein but it's working well for me!
Down 1.5 on my first weigh in which I am deelighted with! Scrimped on the exercise and had a family meal the night before the weigh in! This week I plan to get out walking every evening! Partaking in a water aerobics class tomorrow night which I'm really looking forward to!
I wish you all the very best of luck and I'm really looking forward to giving and receiving hints and tips, and the odd recipe here and there :cool:0 -

Haha!
Its mad how people think though isn't it??? One of my friends has lost a lot of weight.... she is a size 8 now... fair play to her, but myself and my other friend would be on the chubbier side of a size 8.... and she can't believe that we are doing WW.... She thinks we are mad, but its definitely easy for her to say it.
I just feel like I want to be slimmer, for me, not for anyone else. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the OH will be delighted with a size 10 missus on his arm, but he just wants me to do it for me, coz he knows I'm not happy as I am.
Its all to do with your own mind frame, if you are happy as you are, so be it, if not surely its better to be doing something about it....0 -

I totally understand where you are coming from.... the temptation is the biggest hurdle...
I am back living at home with my mam, stepdad and sister along with my OH and little one.... its a nightmare when dinner time comes around or tea time... or breakfast time.. haha! I am trying to convert them to cooking things that don't come covered in butter or straight out of a deep fat fryer or comes in a bag with a receipt attached to it.... Slowly but surely they are coming around but still the pizzas and chips are sooooo tempting, as well as the chocolate that is forever in the fridge....
Just take it one week at a time... work from one WI to another.... you are doing great...0 -
Lucky u stArtin this weight!! I started at 13st 11lb so Love this 12stone bracket but want to lose more for the same reasons to be healthy and happy.lisa_celtic wrote: »Just moved my goal back 4lb to be in a healthy BMI had it at 26 with out known that was still classed as over weight.

It's weird to think that friends sometimes are not as supportive as they should be when it comes to weight loss it drives me mad when people get annoyed when I point stuff! It's my body and I want to make sure I know what I am putting into it!! Least we all have each other for support this thread wS dieng before Christmas full of life again now!!0 -

'nother pound down.
I think I might try on my wedding dress at the weekend. My hen-night dress fits and I think I was lighter then than I was on my wedding day.
There's a girl in my class who's lost nearly 11 stone and age has 9lb to go. I have 6.5. So I've set myself a private goal to get there on the same week as her or before.0
