You know I feel like I'm down, but I only just stayed within my points & I didn't really exercise, so I guess I'll see later on! Congrats on being down yourself!
You have to give me your recipe for your Guacamole! I LOOVVEE MexicanHa... I found a recipe for guacamole before and followed it to the letter and it didn't work so I am going to try and get it right this time... have a new food processor so hopefully that will do the hard work for me!!!

My guacamole recipe is something of a favourite among my friends (it gets hidden at house parties so nobody else can have any lol) Not sure if you guys will like it but here is the recipe all the same
Blend 2 or 3 really ripe avocados with about half a bulb of garlic minced ( i love garlic so I like it really really garlicky) the juice of half a lemon, salt and pepper and tobasco sauce to taste (i sometimes put a minced fresh chilli in if i want it extra spicy). Then add 1-2 tablespoons of extra light mayo. Makes it really smooth and creamy. This makes quite a lot but you can adjust the recipe for less avocados and all you have to point is the avocados themselves and the extra lite mayo which is pretty low, think even at 2 tbs its only an extra point for the whole recipe. Also if you keep one of the seeds from the avocados and put it in the bowl with it while storing it will keep pretty well for a couple of days without discoloring!0 -

Look at you!!! all the tips!!! I like that idea with the stone from the avocado... I heard before about lemon juice but I suppose that will mess with the flavour. Thats a good recipe.... I think I will use that tonight... I don't have tobasco... but might add a little piri piri...just for a kick... I am obsessed with that at the moment...
Thanks TinyPenguin!!! 0 -

Well so well would not be exactly correct haha, relatively well would be more like it haha.
You know I don't know why I thought I needed a slimed down version of guacamole! Sure it's only the avocado that has points! :rolleyes: So I would use avocado, finely chopped red onion, chili, garlic, tomatoes. lime juice, salt, black pepper & coriander! Yeay!
Sooo hungry now. Have soup with me that I'm kinda sick of now coz I've had it all week, but I must resist straying with the looming WI later on! :eek:0 -

WI today and Down 1 happy it's a loss but I put so much effort in exercising and tracking I was a bit disappointed it wasn't more esp as my wii said I was 4 down this morning. So I've gotten a new scales that measures water and fat etc and have started measuring my self as well see if that shows more progress.
I'm worried that as my weight loss is slow but normally steady it could take 12 weeks or more to shift the pounds put on over Christmas and I was hoping with exercising more and tracking more I would do better
I will get there eventually 0 -

The person that usually comes with me to WW (we started around the same time) has decided not to go anymore - which is a bit of a nuisance, because it was great to have someone to talk to about it. Thank god for this forum! Best of luck to anyone else with WI this evening, & good luck Baileypants!
God, am starving too haha! Trying not to eat everything before I go!
Good luck to you too!

Ah you will get there, one week isn't too much in the grander scheme of things. Keep at it and you know that you will loose overall There is no quick fix as they say. Slow & steady wins the race, and you're more inclined to keep it off then too

What are you eating and how much exercise! I know how disheartening it is to not see the results you want! but there is always a reason.0 -

I had my 6th weigh in yesterday and she still hasnt said anything to me! I see in the book that for someone who is 5ft 7, like me, depending on BMI it could be anywhere between 9 st 2 and 11st 6! disappointed because I only lost a pound this week after lowering my propoints, but think my body is adjusting to my new eating pattern and the weight loss has slowed down a bit! had to happen sooner or later!! :-)
Some leaders don't set the goal straight away as they don't want you to be daunted by the end goal. My leader initially told me to focus on 1 stone and then after that another 7lbs and so on. You should have an idea of what weight you'd like to be. Mini goals are better for keeping you focused 0 -

I would advise you to keep a food diary this week with everything you eat and drink in it. If you don't have a loss next week ask your leader to go through it with you to see if she can offer any advice!0 -

Well done! Delighted for you x0 -
Stayed the same weight this week, lost nothing over the week its the first week since I've joined that I haven't lost anything. Anyone know why this might be? Majorly disappointed!!
This happens to me all the time, I'm a pro at STS at this stage
You said it's the first time it's happened since you joined. Are you at it long. I'm wondering as if you have been doing the same thing for a number of weeks i.e eating all the same foods, doing the same amount of exercise?
If this is the case mix it all up. Change alot of foods and try some new ones. Have bigger meal as in dinner at lunch or a big breakfast. If you always walk, go swimming or cycling. You may need to shock the body back into it.
You could also be being too good and if your not using all of your points your body is hanging onto it. Also go back to scratch and start weighing and portioning food again. You hvae no idea how easy it is for the hand to slip when pouring/measuring and they all add up.
Hope some of this helps!0 -

I think I'm going to ask my leader to look at mine as I think I'm losing my mind sometimes. I write down everything even the exercise I do daily and still not having great results
I even weigh out everything....even though I have an idea of the amounts of stuff.
They say it all the time so I'm sure they won't mind0 -

the way you have to look at it is you are staying the same, so that means you are not gaining...so you are doing something right... you won't know yourself in a few weeks when your body gets used to the new regieme....
dont be hard on yourself....0 -
