There should be an IM - ing option for those who are online at the same time do you not think?! I just got thinking about it as it shows who's online with the small green spot beside your name, and I thought, well what's the point of that unless there's an advantage to knowing who's online!
There must have been at somestage, because when I go into Quick Links, and Who's Online, it says that it's been disabled by the administrator.
Was anyone around when or if it used to work? 0 -
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.
Welcome Back Monife.....you gave me great encouragement a while back which I was very grateful for ......So focus now on YOU, we are all here to help you although I'm not on everyday I do check in to see how you are all doing, and you are all doing GREAT even me !! Im getting to a stage where I'm counting for friends who don't do WW haha how sad is that !! Chin up girl & give that mammy of your a hug...where would we all be without them shoulders !!0 -

I'd love to lose 4lbs this week to get to the stone, but I think that might be a bit too ambitious after two great weeks. I did the healthy and filling week last week (well for 4 days of it) and I found it really good. Going to start exercising this week, so excited about that.
What a great start, well done if you don't get your stone next week at least it will be in the next 2 weeks at least!!! allow for a loss now of 1 to 2 pounds per week any thing more is a bonus!
for me 1/2 a pound is my aim and anything more is brilliant LOL I lose it slow 0 -

Hey girls (and guys!)!
Just checking in to say thanks for all the good wishes! Have my list made out for my shopping and I've no exam until Thursday afternoon so the pressure is (kind of) off! Lisa that's fab, it's a great feeling to reach little personal goals, almost as good as getting a compliment on the weight loss!!
Well done on all the losses this week, and chin up to everyone craving the bold stuff - I had a meltdown weekend and now I'm flying it out the other side, it happens to all of us! Just draw a line under it and imagine how amazing you'll look in all those summer dresses and shorts! 0 -
Well done on the losses Lisa & West wing that is fantastic news & a great boost for the rest of us ( especially those of us including me who have had an attack of the munchies lately)
Meant to say yesterday but baby you brought up the BMI based on one of the newbies blog post ( jell something can't remember sorry
) but I can't stand that either I know it's a 'barometer' of healthy weight range but it fails to take in so many other factors as pointed out in the blog post.
I'm 5.2 & had initially picked a goal weight of 10.7 to give me a loss of 3 stone & according to the BMI I'll be classed as overweight if I stay there. I'm 11.1 ATM & I'm already getting comments that I look 'skinny enough' or the weights falling of you ( Grrr another bug bear its not feckin falling off I'm working my ass of -literally to lose it!) now I'm not too skinny I still have a way to go but because of the stupid bloody BMI I've adjusted my goal down to in the 9 stone bracket ( between 9.7 & 9.10 ish I reckon) I've no idea what I'll look like at that weight because the last time I would have been 9 anything I'd have been about 12 or 13.
For me although I'm short I'm as my granny would say 'well built' I've wide shoulders & wide hips & the top of my back is wide as well, my legs are short, toned but solid they're not 'fat' but I don't see them shrinking down much especially my calfs & that's thanks to Da I got his legs & all the sport & dancing I did as a kid :rolleyes:
Even with me picking 9.7 - 9.10 that's the top end of my BMI they haves 8 stone in there as well which would not suit me at all! I spoke to my nurse @ my gp she said you should be a BMI of 25 or less but did agree 8 or even 9st would be too small so I'm gonna wait & see how I look & feel when I get there. I'm not sure yet if that's possible or even sustainable! Time will tell I guess 0 -

Ah well Niamh, I hope you fly those exams, and not to forget they're not the be all & end all.
God the thought of Summer dresses makes me cringe!! 0 -

finished work early today and literally got in the door, got changed and me and the OH hit the park for a walk. We went at a fast pace and did the walk in about 50 mins.
The way i feel about it now is if i feel like going on the Wii for a half hour later I can but i was so glad to get it out of the way... Im impressed with the difference in my fitness level now... I did the entire circumference of Corkagh Park.. when i started WW 4 weeks ago it was taking me 50 mins to do half that. Its madness!
Im far from running a marathon but considering I was so unfit i would get tired walking to the shop im well impressed!
So happy for all your brilliant WI's this week! hopefully i can keep up the good work tomorrow night at mine... I would ideally love 2.5lb down that way i would get my 5%... but to be honest once im down ANYTHING i will be happy. I have hit the 11s and i plan on staying there... well until i hit the 10s hahaha!
Saw a gorgeous dress today when i was out with my dad for lunch. Gorgeous orange dress in the window of Miss Selfridge in Jervis. He was laughing when i said... "Im going to have that dress...and im going to have it in THAT size!!!" That will be my treat to myself when i finally reach goal.... with any luck it will be on sale by then haha! 0 -

Hi everyone
Well done on yer losses! Ye are brill!
I had a disaster of a weekend - Saturday, food-wise I wasn't too bad but that night, I had loads of wine
And on Sunday from about 7 til bedtime, I ate all round me, felt rotten with myself afterwards. AND, TOTM arrived today (maybe that's what lead to the madness on Sunday evening, I don't know)
TOTM sucks! - I feel huge this evening! :mad:
Dreading my WI tomorrow morning! :eek:
Good Luck with all your WI's this week peeps! :cool:0 -

Well done to all those who have lost this week!
My wi on Thurs, had a sneeky peek on my own scales this eve and it told me 11.5, last wi I was 11.7 although I think there is a diff between my scales and ww scales, never the same! :rolleyes:0 -
These have prob been discussed before but picked them up in Aldi tonight.
The Caramel, fudge & cunchie are 2pp each and the chomp is only 1pp each.
Thought it had to be a mistake but got the OH to point them aswell and yep only 1pp. There not huge but great for a chocolate craving if you haven't many points left for the day.
The bag was €2.79 so not that cheap but nice to have in the press for a treat, ww bars something just arnt the same when you need choclate & us ladies need our chocolate every now & again0 -

NOM!!!! And a bargain points wise. Might pick a bag up this weekend when I do the shopping, but a bit apprehensive as I don't know if I could stop at 1 or 2.... Will have to put half the bag in my drawer in work. Less likely to binge at my desk with colleagues all around me lol0 -
Confession time I had a terrible week. I've been really stressed the last few days which has meant I went completely off the rails foodwise. I booked my sun holiday away with the girls today so I'm determined not to be the only one not able to wear a bikini. I've done out my food plan for the next few weeks and I've scheduled in exercise because that's been my downfall. I went for a good hour walk this evening. I've my WI tomorrow and I wasn't going to bother but Monife you've made me realise I need to accept what it is and move on. I'm expecting at least a 2-3lbs gain. But I'm working for next week and hopefully I'll be back on track. I'm doing it at home so no matter what I'll come on here and post my result :eek:
Sorry for the rant I just needed to get it all down Monife your post a while back is inspiring and you seem like you're back on track now. Its great that you have your mum as your support. Hopefully we'll both get closer to goal this year.
Well done to everyone who loss today and yesterday. There's some great numbers there 0 -
