ok so here I am back AGAIN. I am joining ww tomorrow for about the 6th time in the past 10 years!!! I am already setting myself up for failure as everytime I have joined in the past I have lost a stone on average and then given up. Last time I think I only lost 9lbs before falling off the wagon :-(
I am going to make a promise to myyself that this will be the last time I ever join and that if I don't reach my goal this time I pretty much never will.
Roll on tomorrow for a fresh start to a new me (hopefully) :-)

WE CAN DO IT!!! I genuinely think the last time you didn't do great was because of our crappy leader and class, this new class will be so much better and we have loads of people on this thread to support us. As MaggieMay said, positivity all the way!!! We have to stop being so negative about ourselves and give ourselves the credit we deserve!!

Onwards and downwards

Up 1.5 last night. Its my time of the month so I'm surprised it wasn't more. It was a pretty crap week foodwise too. Planning a low carb week to give me a little kick.

Had a pretty horrible experience today on my way to work. I got myself a bike before Christmas and I cycle to work now. Its not very far but its uphill most of the way there so I can really feel it. I pass a secondary school on my way to work and on my late shifts all the students are heading back from lunch. Anyway today I was coming towards the traffic lights around the corner from my house, on the cycle path, and across the road there were 3 girls about 16 years old. One of them stopped and actually pointed at me and shouted "look at the state of her. FAT BITCH! FAT BITCH!" I was totally shocked but ignored them and crossed at the lights on to their side of the road. The ringleader then decided to yell "THE FAT BITCH IS COMING AFTER US. LEG IT!" So they all ran. Unfortunately I had to go the same way as they were to get to work. I went past them and ignored them and then listened to them roar "FATTY! FATTY!" until I was far enough away that I couldn't hear them anymore.

Now I've had people pass comment on my weight before but jesus, I have never experienced anything like that. I'm still in shock!

OH MY GOD!!!! That is horrible!!! :eek::eek: I think I would have to have given those girls a piece of my mind! Don't mind them, they are obviously seriously immature and must not have much self-esteem if they feel better in mocking other people. That is a disgrace, I feel sorry for their parents (unless they are actually the cause of such ignorance and bad manners). Chin up!! And ignore any negativity! You don't see kids getting on their bikes to go to school these days so fair play to you for cycling to work

username2010 · 01-02-2012 10:26PM

@Chinafoot - That's awful....what a pack of total beeatches....

Cycling is such a great way to get around, and a great way to get fit, so you know you're on the right track....

You poor poor thing, that is beyond awful. I was called a tellytubby once by kids years ago and it stuck with me so I can't even begin to imagine how much that would have hurt. Like the rest said they are young and immature and don't realise the effects of their words. Think of it this way, you were on a bike and your doing something about it. They could very well be needing WW in a couple of years

Try and forget as best you can x

Boop22 · 01-02-2012 10:47PM

Thanks for the encouragement girls, just gotta get in the right frame of mind before tomorrow :-)

Hi Chinafoot -sorry to hear that. That is just horrible, immature little school kids, i know its easier said than done and sometimes those things stick in your mind but try not to let it if you can. Forget about them and their stupid comments and dont let it put you of cycling to work.
i know its hard tho not to take comments to heart , i remember a few years ago, i would never wear a dress or skirt or anything and finally my friend convinced me to put on a skirt and a person seen me in the skirt and told me my legs were so fat the looked like tree trunks! that must have been 16 years ago and i still remember it :mad: some people are just so cruel with comments they come out with - but just try not to let it upset you

Little sh1ts!

Ignore them if you can.

BaileyPants · 01-02-2012 11:06PM

God I missed a lot in the last few hours haha!

Amazing results! Congrats to all who had losses! :-)

Chinafoot, they are an absolute disgrace! They will grow up to be uneducated & a drain on society with an attitude like that! You know you're on the right track. Stick with it girl x

rebelchick2 · 01-02-2012 11:07PM

Hi, need help! I'm on my first week of ww and going well. Planning my meals is great because my big downfall is takeaway when I'm not organised! Anyway I planned to have beef stew tomoro but worked late so didn't get to make it! Anyone got a fool proof fast meal recipe with pp's that I can use tomoro! Thanks

colliewobbles · 01-02-2012 11:11PM

Chinafoot - absolutely vicious for you, monsters the lot of them. Don't let their words discourage you in anyway. Good on you for not saying anything to them.

Chinafoot · 01-02-2012 11:27PM

Thanks for all the kind words ladies. I'm just going to forget about it. To be honest, its just going to make me more determined to lose the weight. If someone is going to insult me I'd rather they have to use their brain in future because the oh-so-obvious "fat bitch" comment shall no longer apply

One of my favourite quick meals is spicy chicken with cous cous and vegetables.

I do my chicken fillet in the George Forman grill but a normal grill or oven works fine. Get some paprika, cajun and chilli spices and cover the chicken. Pop it in the grill. While thats cooking do the cous cous (60g) and make sure to do it with half a vegetable stock cube, not just water, as it gives it more taste. I add the same spices to the cous cous. Stir fry some veg like peppers and broccoli. Add it altogether and you get a really tasty, filling and quick dinner for 11pp.

If you have beef, this might be a good idea. It is from the WW mini series 'Weekdays'. There is no pp on it but it should be easy to calculate.

Ignore them Chinafoot. You'll have the last laugh. You can lose your weight - they can't lose their ignorance

meldorg20 · 01-02-2012 11:50PM

the west wing · 01-02-2012 11:52PM

Whoops!Sorry I can't seem to downsize it.

Eabhabear · 02-02-2012 12:31AM

Thanks Baby. No rush with it

Welcome back Boop. The key to being successful is being in the right frame of mind. If you go in to it expecting to fail, then you will fail. You need to really look at why you're doing this. Make a list of reasons why you don't like being overweight and a list of reasons why you can't wait to lose weight. You can do this if you really want to. We're here to help you with it as well

We're all in the same boat and it's not easy. I've been at this a year and half and I feel like I'll never get there. But I won't if I don't keep trying.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Chinafoot I had an experience once on holidays where a guy told me to put my legs away :mad: I was shocked and what I learnt was never to let anyone put me down like that again.

You're similar to me. I am a very picky eater and only really eat chicken. I would eat the same type of meals until I get sick of them and then I'd look for an alternative. You should read back through this thread and the old WW thread for meal ideas. Maybe put up the type of foods you eat and people can make suggestions for you. Google recipes and alternate them to low fat versions. Well done on your weight loss so far. You're definitely doing something right

Chinafoot :mad::mad::mad: such bad form, Karma will get the little ignorant witch in the end! at least you know you will lose the weight! she will always be ignorant and her mouth will get her in serious trouble she will learn the hard way! life not kind to people like her!

I had a eventful evening my self! doing my work out and using my weights for some resistance I was doing some curls or what ever they are called when my 3 year old daughter decided it would be a good idea to run behind me straight in to the weight on the way down ! oh she scared the life out of me! she was holding her head and I saw blood well I was trying to call my hubby !he good with every thing like that and has first aid training! I go in to melt down!!:eek: I was proud of my self I didn't panic kept pressure on it! Hubby had a look and it was a tiny cut she is completely fine now all better! me not so much!!!! mummy guilt a killer!

tiny_penguin · 02-02-2012 12:38AM

Aw Chinafoot that is so awful! I cant imagine how I would feel.

Well done everyone on their losses. Everyone is doing so well, its really motivating. I have to say I wish I had this board every other time I tried to lose weight, there is such support here it is brilliant

@Chinafoot: thank is nothing less than disgusting the way you were shouted at I was bullied as a child and it will always stay with me! I think I'l always be trying to improve myself but sure isn't that better than letting the little sh*t get you down! Keep on smiling you are better than then them!!

On day two of ww Australia doing good just find I'l be using the pp book all week trying to learn the new pp but sure isn't that better than not pointing at all!

When I started ww proper in 2008 I was 15st 0.5lb (95.5kg) got down to 10st 13lb (69.5kg) in 2009. Now starting again over here I start at 79.9kg ( 12st 8)! You know what writing that down really shows me how well I have done and even I'm Going backwards its still in the right direction! I want to get to 10st 10 or so an see where my body balances!!

It's kilos over here so still getting used to it :-) well done on all losses sorry bout long post I think I just need to see that written down will keep me going :-)

Bet of luck with WIs tomorrow x

I keep some Amoy straight to wok singapore noodles (6PP) in the press and stir fry veg in the freezer. You can stir fry what ever meat you have and when browned throw in the veg, some soy sauce and spices or fresh garlic and ginger and then throw in the noodles, ready in 10 - 15 minutes (including preparation)

ali85 · 02-02-2012 10:38AM

Hi folks... wondering if you could help???

Am trying to point these biscuits. They come in a pack of 3. I am working them out at 1pp each which means the pack is 3pp... seems a bit excessive for how much is in it...

tiny_penguin · 02-02-2012 10:41AM

Hey, found this on tuesday night and was shocked to discover its only 12pp

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/asda-compare-prices/other_international_cuisine/the_city_kitchen_king_prawn_red_thai_curry_385g.html?showswitchsmbar=3

I'm not a big ready meal eater I swear, but after WW its so late - and if i havent got something homemade in the freezer then I find things like this handy to have. This one is really good ingredients wise. I havent pointed the other ones in the range but I'd say some would be equally as good.

For this I had some waterchesnuts and bamboo shoots in the fridge from my stir fry the night before so I threw a few in before microwaving and it was lovely! Was like getting a thai takeaway to be honest - just with a realisting portion size

shellybelly08 · 02-02-2012 11:23AM

Very proud of me avoided my fav jellies watching a movie tonight! Had a ww cookie crisp bar! Yay! The oh ate the whole bag! Bit his hips won't ever see it :-/

I love that... finding something else to fill the craving... I am still delighted with my WW tortillas and low low cheese dips.... Sooooo nice and sooooo low....

And I have the OH eating most of the bags of things like the baked cheese puffs from aldi and leaving me only 2 handfuls so I can point them at 2pp per hand....

Very handy!

OMG Operation Transformation Last night... I wanted to hit Dr. Eva... I was shouting and ranting all sorts at the tv when she was giving out to the girl who lost 1.5lb despite been constipated and on TOTM...

tiny_penguin · 02-02-2012 02:18PM

Oh no....I just realised that last week I pointed a wrap I have been eating every day in work for lunch wrong. I pointed the per 100g column instead of the per pack column (rookie mistake I know). So instead of the 5pp i thought it was, it is really 11

I have no idea going by that how I lost 1.5lbs this week and am really worried it will show next week! So gonna up my exercise for the rest of the week and be super good about weeklies. Have no nights out planned so hopefully wont have to use too many! Am gutted cos I thought I was doing so bloody well
