EOK,

I am trying to do it on my own as I cant afford meetings! (for now anyway!)
So ebay is the only place to get them for me!

Could you get someone that goes to a meeting to get if for you?

I used to be kinda....flakey when it came to tracking...i'd track like 70% thus my losses were kinda crap.....up down up down STS ect...

Well i'm nearly thru my second week of tracking 100% and i've kinda noticed...my appetite has totally shrunk...haha okay i'm like a million points over my weeklies this week.....but i did track every indulgence....and even as it stands...the scales at my sneaky peak are showing me i'm down baout 1.5lbs so far! tho that can all change....got my friends 18th tomorrow night....and i'm spending tomorrow standing in the lashing rain at Fota wild life park doing a study on lemurs for college....I'm going to need those drinks to shake off the day haha!

Hi girls, i was up 1/2 pound this week so I'm not a happy camper

Gonna stick with it though and hopefully I'll have a big loss next week and if I don't I will actually cry!!

Just been reading all todays posts. Some of you are getting great losses this week - congratulations. And those not pleased with their results, stick with it & maybe next week will make it all worthwhile. I have just watched Operation Transformation (can watch it on the internet in France) & last week most of them didn't do too well with their WIs & this week they did much better.

Well, my plans for today went out the window when one of my kids got sick last night. So no shopping trip into Paris for me & no dinner with the Disney princessess for them & their daddy. Unfortunately she is still very sick so hopefully tomorrow will see an improvement. Am finding myself picking at food again that I shouldn't - ate some leftover pizza at lunchtime after I had my wrap & then tonight had 2 rounds of toast with raspberry jam mainly because I was bored. Am missing being able to make my soups. With her being sick, at least I'm not drinking the lovely french wine sitting in our kitchen in case I am up during the night with her & I'm drinking loads of water instead.

does anyone know how many pp's in the heinz beans snap pots?

4 Propoints I think. I had one a couple of wks ago for lunch & pointed when I got home it's quite high but then it is a 200g tub but if you have on toast you're going up another 4-5 pp depending on the bread, I was raging afterwards thinking I could have had a chicken stirfry for less!

Hi all,
well WI last night and STS...grrrrr was down 3 last week, really upped my exercise this week too, spinning classed twice, treadmill nearly every day (running) and davina exercise dvd's!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe it is not eating all my daily points, I do struggle sometimes, if I have some left over I will eat something that is really bad for me...like last Mon I had 8 left so I had a can of bulmers!!! ( it was lovely!) ! duh...
anyway my leader said weight loss goes in cycles too, so maybe next week it will show,have 2 stone to go, been a very slow start for me
plan plan plan and track track track...
well done on all the losses...this thread gives me a good kick up the a** I need!!

Is that out of the take-away? Our leader said that Chow Mein is one of the best dishes to get out of the Chinese - about 10pp per lunchbox size portion! Great value!

Yeah it's from a takeaway.
I assumed sinagapore chow mein would be low since it's dry and there's not much meat in it, but I want to find out for sure as I love it!
Lovely and spicy, yum yum!

Thank you so much pixie girl, really appreciate your comment! Before when I was in ww I'd have thrown the towel in, or it would have been an excuse to go on a binge, and then just not return to ww, not this time. I realise now that this is for life, and there will be bad weeks, but the following week hopefully will make up for it. Another thing is I can actually 'feel' that I've lost inches, so I'm quite happy. This week I'm making it my business to walk more,drink more water and have less treats!

Yeah I really felt like going on a binge now last nite cos I was so dissapointed but I didn't

I, like you, am finally realising that this is for life and even after a bad weigh in you have to stick with it... Now im even more determined to have a good week this week and fingers crossed it will show at next weeks weigh in!

I must start measuring myself actually, thats a good idea... Do u just take note of your waist measurements every week or what way do u do it?

Oh right cool, must do that!

I started last year at 13 st 11.5lbs and I was devestated!

Now I'm at 11st 5lbs and am hoping my goal is about 10.5 stone so I can stop paying, ha ha!! I'm 5'7" so I'm thinking that sounds about right.
Although my own personal goal is to get to 10st by christmas - only 19lbs to go!

Well done us!!

Thanks Izzy!

Yeah I had a look at that last night but I'm not sure how accurate it is since singapore chow mein is a main dish ... hmmmm ... confusing!!!

Maybe I should just switch to mushroom chow mein.

I must find out, that would be great!

Oh yeah an extra 40 quid a month to spend on new smaller clothes, yippee!!

Wonder if the government would take it off us though as a skinny tax?

Hi shanasue,
I'd say if you're doing a lot of exercise you would want to be eating all your dailies at least.
I think it was Lady Lainy who was saying that she needs to eat her exercise points too.

You have just saved my life (or diet), kids are sick all week havent been able to get to do a right shop and supplies are running low. Your post just reminded me that I bought a bag of bami goreng a couple of weeks ago its out in the freezer forgot all about it! Just pointed it at 10pp for 350g, but it doesnt list the fiber content so hope thats accurate. I will add in some mushrooms and a bit of big als chicken fahita strips pp3 100g, and remove some of the noodles as there is quiet a lot of them. Thanks again.
Well done on the great weight losses everyone, this tread is really busy at the moment I dont think I will ever manage to catch up on all the posts.

Yeah I dunno what the story is with the fibre, but we can only do our best!
It's mostly veggies and meat so I'm sure it can't be too much more than 3pp for 100g anyway. I've had it quite a few times since I went back to WW in January and I've lost weight every week so it can't be too bad!

When you get to your 5% goal - does it pop up on the screen at your WI. I knew I should have been pretty close to it, and I just checked the chart and I should have got it at my WI last night? Do you have to keep an eye on this yourself?

I decided to buy an extra biscuit tin when I started, so now there is two in the house. One for the boys which I top up for the them but avoid at all costs when looking for something sweet. The second one is for me alone, full of one or two point nibbles, I find it good for when I am feeling the need!!

I buy chocolate fingers and velvet crunch for myself, but I find when the OH has munched his way through all his treats he starts on mine then!
For medical reasons, he needs to watch his weight. But I've have never seen anyone with such a sweet tooth. I have started hiding packets of biscuits on him now, just so he won't eat them all and if we have visitors I can offer them a biscuit.

My usual leader gave out a 5% and a 10% sticker last week, but I've never heard of that before. I was at a different meeting when I reached my 10% goal, and she just handed me the booklet and sent me on my merry way. I hadn't a clue what it meant.
