Hi all, I've been in WW 10wks now, and am down 11.5lbs, apart from the first week I have to admit I haven't been strict at all. This week I'm giving myself a much needed kick in the arse and am going to start really tracking and doing more activity.

wow, 11.5 lbs! well done, i'm week 2 and up half a pound need to really revise things

Thanks, it's been a weird journey so far, the meetings I go to are full of super dedicated people, this week 2 people lost 5lb and one lost 7lb!!!

I sometimes think "what the hell am I dong wrong, 1lb here and there!!" but then I think well at least it's going the right direction, and because i'm not uber strict on myself i think i'll stick with it longer than if I was killing myself, because sticking with something that makes me miserable is not realistic. I want to make these changes for life, not just to lose weight and then pile it back on again. I'm 13st 11lbs now....good way to go until goal yet, can't wait to be able to go for free

The blog says 10 propoints?

Do you ever have days where your just hungry??
Need to resist buying tayto's!!!!

Hi everyone,
Well done on the losses this week, every little helps!!
Terrifed of the scales tonight, I've done well with tracking and pointing, for the first time in ages.
Was in Jamie's Italian for dinner this week...very hard place to stick with daily points. Italian food, fresh pasta. No bread thankfully but none the less ended up having carbonara, got the starter portion which was plenty to be honest.
Good luck with the WIs.

Hi guys,
Can I join in please? I went back to ww last week after approx 1 year mainly because I am getting married in less than 7 months now eeekk so really need to get my wobbly ass in gear!!
Was very ill yesterday & had WI today and I was down a whopping 8lbs!!!!! To say I am delighted would be an understatement although I do think this is probably a false loss but if I could just stay the same next week is be thrilled.
Sorry for waffling just excited!!

Even if you gain a couple of pounds next week, it would still be a loss of 6lb over 2 weeks. I did weightwatchers for a couple of years and still follow the girls on the thread and chime in every now and again with advice but I am currently doing Unislim (needed a change). I lost 7lb in my first week but I was sick aswell and then this week (my second week), I gained 2lb. Still happy though because it is still a loss of 5lb over 2 weeks

Hey All,

Been a while since I've posted but in same boat as some others. Fell off the wagon there for a while. Luckily, Christmas is not my only motivation to get back on, I've a wedding the week before Christmas too!

So trying to get back in to the hang of it, it does get tiring after a while, especially when ur not a great cook, so I do think a break can be useful now and again, I just wish I had better will power

Have a quick question, we love corn on the cob and its my treat veg as it unfortunately has pro points so can't have it too often. I went to double check the pp value tonight and the new packs have different nutritional values to what they used to have. (Green giant brand) Even though the cob was 200g, it said it had approx 80g of corn and only gave nutritional value for that as a serving, which comes in at only 1pp instead of the 4-5pp I use to give them. I'm going to ask my leader next week at WI but was wondering if anyone else had encountered this yet. Am thinking its too good to be true

Anyho, keep up the good work everyone. It's a fantastic feeling when u make it in to the next dress size down, its so worth it and there's nothing wrong with falling off the wagon now and again as long as you don't wait too long before getting back on. I've been saved by the fact that I cycle 10km to work each day but have put on 8lb in two months now, would prob b twice that without the cycling. So time to get back to it. Hope to loose 4-6lb before Christmas, more would be great but am trying to be realistic and 2013 is a new year to start again anyway.

Morning everyone,
HAPPY FRIDAY!
Was asbolutely thrilled last night - was down a whole 4 pounds YIPPPEEEEEEEE
since I gained 1 & 1/2 last week, I feel my true lose was 2 & 1/2 pounds. This brings me down to 11.9 - 11 pounds to goal. Really going to try hard at making good ground on this before Christmas.

@brownel - I'm not a great cook either (and a bit lazy about weighing / pointing) so I stock up on M&S meals. The count on us veg ones and also some of the Full for Longer ones (ham, chicken in red wine, beef bourginon all work out at 9pps). I find these a great help especially coming in the door from work.

TO GOAL AND BEYOND !!!!

Hi Guys!

Tiny, the cake and Florentines went down a storm today! All gone! Thanks a million for the recipes!

Have a good weekend everyone!

No problem! Glad they turned out well. Did you double the recipe for the cake?

Havent done any baking in ages and there is a recipe in the new WW mag that i think I'm going to try out over xmas!

Really craving a glass of wine this weekend but just dont have the propoints! Just gonna have to exercise some self control - hope you all have a great weekend.

Hi All,
Hope everyones week went well!
I just have a quick question for you all - is it true that I HAVE to use my weeklies every week? I thought that they were there to tap into ONLY if I needed them???
I haven't been using them at all so far in the last 4 weeks - if I start using them now will I stop losing weight I wonder !!!!

No guys, they don't have to be used. Some people save them for special occasions or might divide them up and add them onto their daily points. In my exeperience I've lost the weeks that I've used them and the weeks that I haven't.

Marmite pasta dish was seriously delicious. I'm so in love with it I'm going to have it again today, and it was so quick and easy to make!

So I was quite disciplined at the rugby yesterday. I managed to drag myself out of bed to go to the gym yesterday morning, then had a 0pp bowl of soup and a bowl of fruit and yoghurt to keep me going until I got to town. As planned, I treated myself to a chicken fajita in a bowl (all the goodness of a fajota without the wrap!) from the yummy mexican restaurant in town before walking from there out to the Aviva (about a 40 minute walk) which I was quite proud of with the hope that it may have helped to work off some of the grub! Got to the Aviva and managed to resist the burger/hotdog stalls all over the placewith every second person munching away, I just kept sipping my water! We got a taxi back into town where the OH got a few small munchies in Burger King. I sipped away on some tea while he had his fries. Got home, had 2 bananas and some weetabix and that was me for the night! Bit of rant I know but was quite proud of my ability to resist over the day, really hoping it'll pay off on the scales tomorrow night but still cant help but feel like its not going to be a good result..
