How much, do you know, do you have to loose to go down a size?!

I have lost 24lb and have gone from a 16 in Jeans to a 12 and 14 in tops to a 12 and dress size down to a 12... Only problem is I carry most my weight on my Belly so although I need 12s in jeans not to have them fall down around my waist I still don't feel comfortable in them.. everybody else thinks I'm looking great but I am waiting for my mind to catch up with my body cause I still see an elephant in the mirror.

Ok, after much emotional thought and struggle, I have rejoined WW again tonight, up 4.5lb since the last time I went at the start of December. Actually delighted because I thought it would be much more. I was really struggling the last 6 months of last year and thought I needed more professional help and contacted my doctor this week who basically fobbed me off and told me to go see the community dietitian, no appointments available til MAY!! So after a long tearful chat with my mum, I have decided to go it alone again and see how I get on. Onwards and downwards Can't wait to post my first (since rejoining) result next week. New starting weight, 15 stone 9lb (having started in November 2010 at 18 stone 3lb)!

*by going it alone, I mean without the help of counselling for overeating/binge eating (which my doctor said wouldn't help, although I still differ from that point of view) and without diet pills.

Monife, welcome back you were a great support on these boards when I first joined and if there is anything I can to to support you on your return to ww I will

Whow down to size 12 that's amazing, well done!! I had my third weigh in and lost 4lbs this week..I am chuffed. That is 12 in three weeks, so here's hoping for another 2 to get my little stone next week in class. I hope everyone is keeping well and working hard

A new lunch treat for me is WW brown bread, 1 slice of low low cheese, tomato and a slice of Centra Ham. Its only 6 points and gorgeous!!

Also Mc Cain Rustic Chips are only 4 points for 100grams.

Hey Kay and anyone else interested in this recipe! I had to take the lazy way and just copy and paste from the WW site as I am so busy in work!

This is quite tasty, though I am not mad about parsnips so next time I think I will replace them with cauliflower (which would lower PP too). I put mixed herbs through the bread crumbs and cheese too.

Ingredients

3 medium Carrots, Old, Raw, cut into thick sticks
2 medium Parsnip, cut into thick sticks
1 medium Leek, (large) sliced
1/2 cube(s) Stock Cube, Vegetable, vegetable
200 ml Milk, Skimmed

Bring about 600ml of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the carrots and parsnips for 5 minutes. Add the leek and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Baileypants and Ali85, where did you get your measuring tape? I never took measurements when I first started (raging now) but I want to start now. Had a look in Tesco but couldn't see one.

Got myself a diary to write down when I feel proud of something I have achieved in the day/week.

Today I am proud of myself because me and the girls went to Spar to get something for lunch and instead of getting a chicken fillet roll and wedges (what I would have usually got, especially since it's Friday), I got a brown bread chicken salad sandwich and a packet of treble crunch

*There might be a lot of "today I am proud of myself" posts, don't mind me, just feels better seeing them on screen/written down.

The WW meals are a JOKE!!! I got 2 because they were on special offer, chicken in tomato and basil sauce with wedges and a sweet and sour chicken and rice. Had the chicken & wedges one tonight because wanted something quick and had to have 2 waffles with it because it was puny!! It was like 2 mini fillets of chicken (about 1/2 a chicken breast) and about 7 wedges in sauce for 7PP, how anyone is full after having one of them amazes me!!

Won't be buying them again. Even a quick meal you make yourself would be more filling and appetizing.

Yea I can't imagine anyone eating them on their own. I find them handy every now and then if I really don't want to cook but I always have to have some frozen veg (again when far to lazy to peel/chop a carrot). If I didn't have that with it I'd be starving........

It does make you think when your having them though what you could have made something for same points, but convenience food does eactly what it says on the box

I know Eircom got some good ones off ebay http://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=accufitness+myotape
you can get them in those little sewing kits in the supermarkets or try hickeys or any sewing/knitting shop

Hi all, I've been following the thread since I joined ww in October.
Had a baby in July and wanted my "figure" (if you can call it that!) back.

Starting weight was 12st 10, and have lost 1st 3 so far, but still have another stone and 3lb to lose!!!
I don think I'll ever get to 10st 4!!

Anyway, I've hit a bit of a wall, so I finally decided to join and see can I get motivated again!

I'm back with another question about weeklies
Is it possible to still have a loss on the scales if you go well over and beyond the weeklies, had an unplanned night out last night with a lot of drink and food- willpower went out the window sadly but I shall be behaving myself between now and Tuesday! Any advice on how to redeem myself?

Also though it was lousy what they did on the biggest loser too!! Don't know yer ones name, shes on Gerard's team- she seems nasty or perhaps just very immature!

Exercise may be, when WI, as for your one on TBL I think a bit of both!

You're blog is so good, makes me feel really bad about mine. You have loads of posts and they are always really interesting! Am def a fan :-)

cooked one of those haddock fillets from aldi tonight with a plate piled full of veg!!! my dinner was only costing me 4pp so i decided feck it... and had a bit of bread and butter and i tell you something... it was a lot more filling than the WW meals.

I tend to have them for lunch at the weekends if I am making something quick for the family... Even then i stick a big salad with it.. or loadsa veggies... they really are tiny...

The tesco ones are a bit more in points, but they are a lot bigger size wise and a lot more filling on their own... I had the lasagne for 11pp the other week and it was lovely... so much nicer than the WW one.

Anyone know how many pp are in Cracottes??? There can't be much coz they are so kinda airy! Im hoping anyway... plan on them for lunch tomorrow...

Our leader on tuesday was talking about cracottes and she said they were 1pp for 2.

Yaaaay!!! I love them... bit of my low low cheese....or the low cal cheese slices.... really anything with cheese!!! hahaha!!! :P

How did you get on today???

So happy to see its only 1pp for 2 cracottes! They would be handy with a bit of Philly and tomato! Gonna go buy them tomorrow!
