Just checking in...Hope everybody is happy, healthy and staying on track! I am going to start a little list of low smart point snacks, and as soon as I have a few I will do a new post that we can all add to.

Ooh a date!! How exciting!! Those sounds like great options. Not been to a Harvester in a while, but seem to remember they have a salad bar (or have I just made that up?!)

Just popping by to subscribe. I am also doing smartpoints. I knew what I was doing with propoints, but this is good as it gives me something to focus on. I have nopticed that all the sweet treats have gone up a lot. Probably makes sense i suppose, to push us to make healthier choices. I used to...

Hello! Just popping in to say good luck on your journey. Although I have been off the wagon for a while now I have always found weight watchers the bets diet in terms of my ability to stick it, because it's flexible and nothing is banned. I have always done propoints though, so struggling to...

Been on track all day today and pointed everything. Also squeezed in a power walk and gave the pub a miss (easy, as the rugby is on ...boring!) Early night I think!

I genuinely don't know what happened yesterday. It all went horribly wrong and I have just pointed everything I ate. 63 pp!!! Once I had started I just couldn't seem to stop. That's basically all my weeklies gone. I am out at a wedding tomorrow. I can't realistically see me not going into...

Keep forgetting to check in. Time running away with me! I have dipped into my weeklies a bit yesterday and same will happen today. Don't know why but I am absolutely starving today! Big portion of roasted veg and pasta for tea tonight which hopefully will fill me up. My brain is trying to tell...

Still here and still going! A busy weekend and I went over my weeklies on Sunday, but still managed a loss today of 2lbs. The scales were showing 4lb before my big pig out on Sunday but never mind! Today has been on track and tomorrow I have some really nice food to look forward to. Starting...

Hmm another not very good day really despite only using 3pp up til 3pm I have somehow ended up on 43pp tonight and not done yet! That will be the 4 glasses of white wine then...always my downfall! I told myself I wouldn't go to the pub tonight but couldn't resist! I had a great night and will...

Another crappy work day, but I am ending the day a bit more caught up than I was when I started it, so pleased about that at least! On the plus side, I only remembered to eat half my wrap for lunch so that's a lot of points saved! I can't really write out what I have had today, as not planned...

Hi Serena, Really sorry to hear about your STS. Such a shame as you worked so hard for it. I would t want to be doing it with 5 suns. Too restrictive to stick to for any length of time. I know lots of people do well with slimming world so stick with it but maybe try out the other meeting x

Well it's been a day of highs and lows today really! Crappy day at work, too much to do and not enough time. Giving myself a urine infection by not going to the loo when I need to (too busy) TMI I know! On track points wise, although if I have my usual choc bar later I will be 6pp over (I have...

Hiya, always have achey joints but the yoga helps! Been tonight and always feel great afterwards. Forgot to post this morning but it's been a great day food wise so far: B: soreen 3pp L: soup 0pp and laughing cow and crackers 3pp S: fruit and a packet of skips 2pp D: (in the oven) chicken pie...

Had a toastie and a chomp. Did Zumba but didn't really put a lot into it as all my joints ache! Long day today, at work til 6.30 so knackered now!

It's not worked tonight though as still have 9pp left after dinner because I couldn't finish my paella ready meal! It was delicious but just too much!

Well done on your new job!

Well, I will give it a go. Also trying to drink lots more water also, so hopefully something will help. Seems to be much slower going this time round and I feel like I am actually sticking with it more / cheating less but not losing! Before when I did weight watchers I would eat whatever I...

I don't like diets like Cambridge, because they don't seem like a healthy, balanced approach so you don't change your food habits. I know ww works for me when I stick to it! Weekend went to pot totLly and I have gained this morning. Back to 10st 9 3/4lb. This week I am going to change a habit...

Ps Daisy well done on your loss so far! I love soreen. It's so filling so I feel it's well worth the points! I have just under a stone ish to lose which would get me to an 8-10. Currently a 12. I can't wear half the clothes in my wardrobe which is the main reason for dieting!

Hi ladies! I am afraid it has got worse! Added a glass of white wine, packet of skips and a ww cake to all in all I am at 40pp for the day. I have the weeklies for it so will just have to go easier on them tomorrow! I still feel like I could have done more damage tonight, so not going to beat...

Wow congrats on the job and the loss! Things move fast here!

I didn't make it? ended up having a cheeseburger happy meal. Ate 3/4 of the fries so 13pp in total. Could have been worse I suppose! Had water with it so no high calorie drinks at least. Won't have dinner tonight but will still end up 6 over for the day. I ha e 46 weeklies left and 11 activity...

Battling with myself today! Nearly gave in and got. Takeaway for lunch. But I was strong! Now having the same battle about dinner! I have to take daughter to mcds on the way back from gym (her Friday treat) and I so want something. I think I can resist though!!

No, homemade burgers Serena Can do the burger and the bun for 7PP, 1PP for cheese, plus 4 for chips. I may do myself some roasted veg instead of chips though. I am trying to store up all my weekly points for Saturday because I am on a girly day trip to London which will involve champagne...

Well I am quite proud of myself as despite a gruelling youth club session which involved messy games I only smacked a little bit from the tuck shop! Plus naughty husband suggested a chinese but I said no and then offered to drive and pick him up a kebab, and I didn't even have one myself! My...

So today will be as follows; B: Melba toast and laughing cow 3pp L: tomato soup 0pp D: probably homemade pizza 10pp The rest will probably go on snacks etc as I have youth club again tonight! Just chilling out for 5 mins with a cuppa as I have a later start this morning so I can take my...

So a 10 hour working day today, followed by yoga then home for dinner and hopefully a nice early night! Dinner ended up being chicken Kiev, potatoes and courgettes. One of my favourites! 12pp in total. Enough left for a choc bar with my cuppa later!

Crazy at work at the minute! Left late last night and in again at 7.15 this morning. Luckily I prepared a nice lunch last night so I am not tempted to cheat! After work I am off to yoga so going to have a quick bowl of soup before hand, then a proper meal when I am back. Looking forward to my...

Well the weekend wasn't the best, I probably managed to keep within my weeklies and activity points just, but lost track in the end! Weighed in this morning and showing a 1 and /2lb loss which is down to luck more than anything else! Back on it again today though! So much easier Monday to...

Okay so I did something silly and had a sneaky look at the scales. I didn't like the result to checked again this morning. Still didn't like it! It's showing a sts! I have only used 15 of my weeklies and tracked everything. Had planned on using the rest over the weekend, and I will but...

Yesterday ended in me using an extra 15PP (from my weeklies) I did sort of know it would go like that, so I am accepting it and moving forward. Otherwise In my head I will be thinking "that's it, you've failed so there's no point carrying on, might as well just write off the whole week" etc etc...

Pleased to see you back! I did try SW for a week, but it wasn't for me. I prefer being able to have whatever I like, but smaller portions whereas I got the impression SW was about being able to eat more food in volume (albeit probably healthier!)

Sorry to hear that Serena, but make sure it doesn't allow you to slip off track. How do you feel about the amount of food / quality of the food you were eating? If you are comfortable with what you ate then do another week and I am sure you will see a big loss. if you aren't then try speaking to...

I can't in all honesty say I have given up as I ended up having 2 last night, and will probably do the same tonight, but definitely cutting down at least! its a start! In the end last night the lack of cigarettes was making me crave a glass of wine, and the wine would have left to a food binge...

Good luck for tomorrow Serena!! You deserve a good result!

Came in from work and had a quick snack of a sandwich thin with ham and cheese for 5pp. Just enough to get me to yoga and back! Pic uploaded, proper dinner of home made pizza was lush! I have different toppings depending on how many points I have. Tonight was just mozzarella and prosciutto as...

Yes daughter back to normal, she was fine yesterday but kept her off to stop it being passed on to more kids! Zumba was great, always really enjoy it. Bit achey today but not too bad! Giving Yoga a try tonight for the first time. Looking forward to it. Anybody else tried it? I think it will...

Still here! Weighed in showing a 4lb loss which I am very happy with! Today has been: B: yog and raspberries 1pp L: 5 chicken dippers 4pp D: probably an omelette 6pp S: so far...soreen malt loaf 3pp Off to Zumba at 8pm so that will earn me another 4pp. Been a tough day as stuck at home...

Back again and still on track! Went for some pistachios and a twirl in the end! Daughter has forced me to make fair cakes his morning and have accidentally eaten 2! That's 6pp in total. Lucky I just had a banana for breakfast. Brunch of cheese on toast with tomatoes for 2pp.

Hi, subscribing! See you are on SW now, I have heard from quite a few people how good it is!

I wonder why I bother with it sometimes after the night I had of dealing with constant bickering, whinging and lack of respect from the kids. Then I got an earful from a mother who didn't like her son being punished for repeatedly throwing balls at childrens faces! Well I didn't resist the tuck...

Well yesterday was another day on track, but today will be a challenge as it's youth club tonight (I run it not go to it!) The tuck shop table will be very tempting but I will stay strong. Going to cook a super quick stir fry and eat before I go. Hopefully that will sort me out. I will have 9PP...

So I started this thread back in April 2013, andhere I am back yet again! This time even heavier at 10st 13 3/4lb! I have some serious work to do to get back to my ideal weight, but there is only way to do it and that's to keep on trying. I lose it all then gain it all again. In late summer I...

Hi all, I have been doing weight watchers on and off for about 3 years. Lost 2 stone to reach my goal, but slowly a stone of it has crept back on. Currently my eating is totally totally out of control. Crisps for breakfast, endless junk food all day. No lunch, or dinner, just loads of junk...

Still here and have been doing well this week on the diet. Last night was a bit of a slip up as had 2 glasses of wine and a Chinese. Difficult to know how far over I went but probably about 10PP over. New weeklies today, and boy will they have to stretch this weekend! Off to London tomorrow so...

Back on track this evening. All the leftover pizza is gone and I am going to do a big healthy shop after Zumba later. Unfortunately the thighs are still a bit lumpy but more worried about the wobbly tummy as I will have to wear a bikini in 3 weeks !!!

Really glad to have you back! Popcorn is one of my fave snacks at the minute x

And then a cream tea followed by 3 glasses of wine and now a pizza on the way. Bit of a disastrous Sunday all in all. I will be over my weeklies by about 20 points all in all but to be honest I always am every Sunday. It will either go my way or it won't on weigh in but I just can't make the...

Mmm buddies breakfast! Bagel with cream cheese and bacon xx 14 pp

Hoping someone can help me, I need to have a takeaway tonight as will be out watching my daughter in a show from 6-9 and have visitors who will need feeding afterwards, but don't want to use too many points!! What are the best options? It can be kebab, Chinese, Indian or fish and chips really...

Had a subway for a late lunch. Love that I can have something tasty for 7pp! Have budgeted my points for he BBQ and chopped up lots of veg to dip in low fat dips too!

Still here. Been a bit off track, only in the evenings. I get home so tired and as soon as I sit down I just want to snack! Weight not changed much this week, so back on it again and hoping I can lose some next week. Think the key is to eat better over the weekends. Last weekend went a bit...

Me again! Still here and doing okay. I had a bit of a bad day yesterday. Had a glass of wine (within my points) and then my resolve went a bit out of the window. Ate 2 packets of crisps I shouldn't have had that I didn't have weeklies or dailies left for. Back on track today though. Not...

Still here and been on track! Did Zumba yesterday and decided to do 30 day an challenge as it's exactly 30 days til my holiday!! Just had a lush dinner I invented. Half pack of microwave egg fried rice, peppers, onions, garlic, leftover gammon, curry powder and nandos sauce. All fried up with...

Serena, It's only a blip. If counting is making things too difficult for you with the OCD then don't count. I know how easy it is to become obsessive about it (I have done it myself, and had to stop for a while) Stay on here though, talking to us and just be a bit kinder and more understanding...

Well as usual it's the weekends that send me off plan! Yesterday I went way over my points and weeklies. I have no idea by how muh, so will just have to get back on it today and see how it goes on WI on Friday

Not great...but not a disaster! Had a starter but didn't have chips. Had a cocktail, but had less wine. Obviously was all still very points heavy, but have 16pp left from my weeklies, so heading out for a lush breakfast soon as we are kid free while she is at her ballet rehearsal! Then it's...

Hmmm I am fearing the slippery slope today! Little nibbles of this and that plus a glass of wine already! I have pointed though and still lots of weeklies left. I always use them all and still lose so that's not a problem. It's when I stop pointing and go over them that I have an issue. Then I...

Well I did come in and have a big chunk of chocolate and a pack of popcorn for 6pp so now have 42 weeklies left. Don't think they will last long though as got big meal and cocktails tonight! Will say no to chips though and swap for spinach which I love! Hopefully can skip starter as well...

Sorry about the sts. It is not deserved and probably just one of those freaky weight things. Next week will no doubt be a bigger loss. Keep doing what you are doing!

Very proud of myself! Stuck to my 2 glasses of wine and had max 10pp of party foods so only 2 pp out of my weeklies! Nor bad going!

Loving the look of your treat tray, I like your style. Those end of day treats make it all worthwhile!

Had a bagel with cream cheese and bacon. Pointed it as 6 for bagel, 1 for Philly, 3 for bacon! Buffets are a nightmare as all pastry based or fried! But I love all those little snacky things damn it!

Well today is going well so far, didn't fancy breakfast then had a 10pp lunch at a cafe. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Tonight the dreaded buffet to contend with! I absolutely love buffet food but will try to be careful with my choices and not use too many weeklies! Now I have 20 mins chill out time...

Mmm I know bad idea! Treat tray will probably be heavily chocolate based...maybe a curly wurly and prob a small pack of salted popcorn!

I did a bit of damage at tuck shop last night, but think its okay as had a good game of touch rugby so must have burnt some off there! Today is going well so far, stayed on track and looking forward to a nice dinner later too: Breakfast: Rice cakes and Laughing Cow (3) Lunch: Pitta with...

Well, points usage is a bit tighter today, so here goes: Breakfast: Ricecake and LC (3) Lunch: Prosciutto and Mozzarella wrap (7) Yogurt (1) Dinner: Chicken Curry RM (10) Leaves 5 left for snacking, so a bit on the tight side, considering I run a youth club (with tuck shop!!) on a...

It's the bit of the day I look forward to most. Very sad!!

Wow just read about 17 pages. What an epic thread!! Here to subscribe of course and now I realised the significance of the treat tray! Me personally I plan my day around leaving as many points as possible for my bedtime cup of tea and chocolate in bed while watching TV!! Shopping wise I find...

Hi Serena, I decided on a wrap pizza, it was delicious but not very big! Hubby came home with fish and chips...very supportive not! But he is very slim so he can have takeaways whenever he likes! I did steal a few chips but I had plenty of points left still so it's okay. Still a few left for...

Is anyone else an emotional eater like me? I eat when I am celebrating, I eat when I am commiserating, I eat when I have had a bad day, when I am angry with my husband or my boss. It's really any excuse! Today my boss has been in a terrible mood all day, and on top of that my husband has...

Yeah...30DS didn't happen, Zumba was exhausting and it was so hot I was sweating buckets by the end! I did manage to do all 30 days of 30DS in January, was very proud of myself, but the novelty has worn off now! Stayed totally on track though yesterday, and going well so far today too. Plan...

Aw thanks guys, I know I can do it. I just need to keep tracking, keep posting and keep focused! I am back at Zumba tonight, and hopefully starting 30 day shred too afterwards!

I really am useless at dieting, although I am done with beating myself up about it as I know it's just a vicious cycle which ends up making the whole situation worse. I now have just over 5 weeks to lose about 1 stone. I know I can achieve that if I put in the effort. I mean I have done it...

And I am back again! Now with 1 stone to lose in 8 weeks before my holiday. I really want to be in the 9's if not 9st 5lb before my holiday on 31st July. I have resorted to a staple favourite today of roasted vegetable and chicken pasta, with parmesan. It's really delicious so I am having it...

Hiya, sounds like you are doing great at getting back on track with exercise! How's the food going? I always prefer evening, even if I end up doing it at 11pm. I can always go to sleep with that sense of accomplishment! There is simply no way I can drag my ass out of bed before 7am.

Yeah I didn't manage it... Believe it or not I am still ill! I have had to go into work, but was sent home on Friday. Still ropey today, but slightly better so am hopeful that I am over the worst of it now. Too short of breath to exercise, but I am desperate to get back on it. All I have done...

Well back on track today so far. Having a high point dinner tonight as have made a chicken pie. Couldn't get low fat cream, but have used filo pastry for the top, so the pie itself is 10PP, then 4PP for potatoes. Still I am looking forward to it! Just got to avoid temptation at youth club...

Oh dear...not a good day. I don't think I could hVe eaten more badly! Not sure if it's the cold, or because I have been so busy, or just that I have been surrounded by temptation? Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

New job? How was ur first day?

A bit bunged up and achey but not too bad! Just having a quick cuppa then off to work. Monday is a late start for me as I get to take my daughter to school.

Back on the diet today after a lovely weekend despite having a cold. Todays food Breakfast Rice cakes x3 (2pp) Laughing cow x2 (1pp) Lunch Chicken salad (4pp) Yogurt (1pp) Dinner Stir fry think it will be (6pp) Then will probably have cereal and chocolate after Zumba!

Why oh why does this happen?!? I have a cold and been holding it at bay the last few days because I knew I was shopping. Husband had flu last week do I have been terrified I will get really ill. Why is it when you look forward to something so much it always goes wrong? I will be well dosed up...

Made my own McDonald's breakfast wrap today. My god it was delicious! 1 ww wrap (3pp) 1 low fat sausage (I used a quorn one) (2pp) 1 slice of bacon (I used prosciutto as OH had eaten the bacon!) (1pp) 1 low fat cheese slice (1pp) 1 egg scrambled and fried like a mini omelette (2pp) Ketchup...

Yay me!! I am back in the nine's (just!) 9st 13 3/4lb. I am so pleased to have done it, no just a few more lbs off to give me a bit of leeway! Today I am using my new microwave at work to have porridge for lunch. lovely warm and filling! Vicky

And tonight's back on track dinner ?

Hopefully you have notifications setup and your emails will be bonging to let you knows we are thinking of you! If you are off track then get back on here and get back on track. It's never too late to get back on the wagon! If your just busy then hope to hear from you soon x

Weigh in is tomorrow so not much time to reverse the damage but I can honestly say there have been no really serious binges and I have a healthy dinner in the oven right now. Just had a sneaky look at the scales and they are showing a loss, so hopefully in the morning it's still the same! I...

Too many little cheats here and there for me to expect a loss this week which is a real shame as this was the last week of my little challenge to myself. So busy this week and husband is ill so just been so crazy running around everywhere trying to get things done. No excuse really! Oh well...

Oh no... A slippery slope! I have eaten 3 chocolate biscuits and just are a mcds cheeseburger when I wasn't even hungry. Okay no more. I will draw a line from here, no need to write off the whole day!

Very quiet! All okay?

So stuffed after my lunch today. I am at home as have a half days holiday, so could have something hot for a change! Went with cheese omelette for 6pp

Was she the one from big brother? She lost loads of weight! Will look into it thanks x

I know what you mean,but I quite like her telling me all the time not to quit and keep going! I have just watched some of the insanity fitness DVD with my husband as he is starting that tonight. It looks like hell on earth!! When this 30 day shred is done I want to do something else but only 3...

I am liking the challenge of the 30 day thing with shred. I hate this sort of exercise but I am not a quitter, so sticking with it and I can see it working. The bug shopping trip is on Sunday and it's all I can think about now! Can't wait to shop shop shop!!! Todays menu: Breakfast Rice...

Still going with the shred. Have been very snacky though, a bite of this, a bite of that, not good and very difficult to track! Beef stew and dumplings tonight. Will be a 12pp meal but thoroughly looking forward to it!

Down to 10st 1 1/4lb which I am happy with as I should be able to hit the 9's next week! Will be having a few glasses of wine tonight as per my Friday tradition, but this week I plan on avoiding the nachos. Have a Chicken Laksa ready meal to have before hitting the pub, so that should sort me...

You are so good at doing your exercise! I do mine, but I genuinely hate doing exercise at home and have to really force myself. The walking and Zumba I quite enjoy though. So jealous of your Pizza. You have to have a treat sometimes, so are you weighing in today?

Over my points because of buffet gate but have done 45 mins power walking and my last day of level 2 shred, bring on level 3 ? Delicious burger and chips for dinner for 11pp

Oh the lure of the cold buffet... I had to prepare one at work today as we had some visitors and may have helped my self a little as I laid it all out nicely!

Hiya, yes just extra lean mince, bit of Worcestershire sauce, garlic granules, salt n pepper and grind of chilli. I reckon it's all in the toppings, loads of fried onions and tomatoes and a slice of lowlow cheese! On day 18 level 2, it's tough but have set a shopping trip for the day after I...

Sounds like you have had a long day, early night will be well deserved! I should really make up some of that veg curry!

Ah that's a shame! Have seen them all in my tesco, but if not try asda x Live homemade burger and chips! That's what I am having tomorrow! I make em up and freeze them in grease proof paper. Dinner tonight was delicious and shred done but I did eat lots of sweets at youth club tonight which is...

Melba toast is usually the Asda one. My calculator says 0 PP in garlic peri peri sauce, I never use more than a tbsp. The ready meal ones are rank, nothing like proper carbonara. Can't wait for dinner now, so hungry but got my emergency banana at the ready! Spent some time this afternoon...

Just discovered the "like" button, took me ages to find it! Food for today: Breakfast: Melba toast x 6 (2PP) Laughing Cow x 2 (1PP) Lunch: Chicken 50g (1PP) Grated LF Cheese 20g (1PP) Salad dressing (0PP) Lots of salad (0PP) Ricecake x 2 (1PP) Laughing Cow x 2 (1PP) Dinner (the good bit!)...

Am sure a few points over won't ruin anything. Weeklies are there to be used if you need them so just go with it rather than stressing yourself out! As you don't usually use them it might take your body a week or so to adjust but you need to allow a little leeway or it's just too tough in the...

Wow just noticed that minimins censored the word group on!! Wonder why?? anyway allow me to introduce my two current best dieting friends I use the a tsp of the garlic sauce mixed with 0pp mayo to make a spicy salad dressing which is delicious and no points! I eat blue cheese laughing cow...

So, stayed on track yesterday and even went to Zumba and did my shred. Although I think both of the exercise bits were a bit half hearted! Todays food diary: Breakfast Rice cakes x 3 (2PP) Laughing Cow x 2 (1PP) Lunch: Warburtons thin (3PP) Philly (1PP) Prosciutto (1PP) Salad (0PP) Dinner...

Bought at tesco. So useful!

Well done on the weight and inches! It's great when clothes fit so much better. I am not there yet, all my skinny jeans still seem too tight!

Hiya yes saw the pic of the pizza burger, it looked awesome! Today I have been very good, a nice salad for lunch, glass of wine (just one!) at the pub earlier and a lovely chicken roast dinner tonight. Still enough points left for my evening chocolate without dipping further into my weeklies...

A good loss! 2 and 1/2lbs off! Very happy with that! Friday is my blow out day, ended up having 4 glasses of wine so head feels very fuzzy this morning! Glad I am driving to the party we are off to later. No idea what food will be though ? Off to primary in a bit for a mini splurge and a new...

Not a great eating day today. Accidentally are. Burger and chips at lunch ? However have done power walking and shred to try to mitigate a bit. Weigh in day tomorrow ? not the day to eat bad stuff but hopefully a loss!

You are being very good this week, well done!! I feel the same about exercising talk myself out of it for ages, but eventually end up doing it and then so pleased with myself for sticking with it! Have ended up doing shred at 10.30 the last 2 nights, what with one thing and another! Your tummy...

Had a bad day yesterday. I had to sack somebody at work, which I hate doing (probably worse for them though!) I then stress ate chocolate biscuits, a sausage roll and a bag of crisps. Then more chocolate biscuits to round it off! I was so tempted to write the whole day off, but I didn't I got...

Loving the bikinis!! I have same problem, being small up top with a bigger bum. Love the one on the left, where is it from?

If I am honest I can't see any changes, and my measurements seem the same but I am rubbish at measuring properly. However couple of people say I look thinner so maybe I have just lost weight in my face!! Healthy day so far today Breakfast Melba toast 2pp Laughing cow 1pp Lunch Tomato soup...

Still sticking with 30 day shred. Level two is evil!! Used most of my weeklies this weekend after a panini and a trip to zizzi yesterday, but that's what they are there for I suppose!

Okay, got on them again and they must have been on a dodgy part of the floor, because the first time they said I had gone up to 10st 8lb!! 3lb in 24 hours would have been quite a record! I checked twice and got the same thing. Just before I left I had one more try, and put them somewhere else...

I hate my stupid scales. That is all.

Thanks, for replying. Yes definitely think I have reached a plateau. It's weight in day tomorrow and I know I haven't lose hardly anything, which is so frustrating. I need the losses to stop me from just saying "sod it!" and eating what I like and packing in the exercising! Determined to stick...

Subscribing! Loving the sound of T25, but determined to finish my 30 day shred before starting anything else! And you have reminded me that today is day 7, so a good time to do a measurement check. Hopefully it will spur me on!

Not feeling happy today...I tend to look at the scales each day, (naughty I know) and only showing a tiny loss today compared to earlier in the week. Really want to get to 10st 4lb by Friday but can't see it happening now. I have stuck to plan 100%, I still have 15 weeklies left and have earned...

Still here, still going. Will be a bit over today. 30pp been super hungry as did shred this morning and now off to Zumba. Still have 15 weeklies left x

Just a couple of rice cakes and banana for breakfast but a lush turkey subway roll for lunch. Can't believe it was just 7pp! Well happy with that! Pub later though so I can kiss goodbye to a few weeklies for wine! Tomato and mascarpone soup cooking for lunch next week and beef stew in the oven...

Hi Dollyshoes, here to subscribe. Sounds great so far, just one thing - I can never bring myself to use propoints for oil so use dry light to cook absolutely everything. You can even get an egg in it! Have you tried it?

Hi Dolly, hope all is okay with you. How is it going? X

Weekend are always tough to stay on plan. I tend to use most of my weeklies in 3 days, but I need to save some this week as I am out for a Chinese on Thursday. So far so good, went out to the national space centre today but took a packed lunch and stayed mostly on track. Said no to wine at the...

I did it, and I went power walking which hurt like crazy and didn't make the full route but pleased with myself. I may struggle to move tomorrow though!

Well done on your loss and don't beat yourself up about before just get back on the wagon. I have just done the same and no trying to repair the damage x

I am dreading doing it tonight. My calves are killing me too, and am worried my legs will just buckle! But got to be done. Have prepared my daughter that she can't watch TV til I am done! Also really hungry today. Trying to control it, but just been having a convo with my boss about propoints...

Well I did level one about an hour ago and my leg muscles are aching still! I have taken measurements so will see if I can see any results at the end. My friend and I are doing it and have booked a shopping trip for 30 days time ...if we stick to it as our reward! Still got 7pp left plus 6 set...

Still here, still on track...still not 100%. Ears blocked, voice still not back to normal and have terrible tinnitus which is driving me crazy. Lucky I am not one to complain lol! Today I am having: Breakfast Ricecake x 3 (2PP) Laughing cow x 2 (1PP) Lunch Chicken Salad with 0PP mayop (2PP...

Thankyou! I do feel good for picking myself up quickly and trying to get back on track. Although I know I have managed to do some real damage as I literally stuffed my face and my appetite was enormous. Refused to weigh in on Friday and will see how it looks at the end of this week instead.

Hmmm not so great IrishEyes! Have been not well at all over the last week, ended up having two days off work and stayed on my sofa stuffing my face. It's just a cold but has knocked me for size. Its still hanging around now. My ears are blocked and my voice is going! Have done no exercise at...

I have seen those fish and chips around. used to love them as a kid but didn't bother to point them to see if they would be eatable. May have to get some! Yesterday was an interesting day food wise, turned out not to be a buffet, but a curry! I had a tiny portion of veg curry and no rice so was...

Well I am well into Space Raiders at the minute. The multi pack ones are only 2PP or 3PP for 2 packs. I just had one though. Today is going to be tricky tricky tricky as I have a work meeting from 12 til 2pm (with lunch provided) This is my worst nightmare as I just love a buffet, and find them...

Hi Nicola Welcome to pick my brains anytime (best of luck though!) Ended up swapping my jacket potato for curly fries...now have 4 spares burning a hole in my pocket. What to use them on??

Yep Shez that's exactly what I do. When I take the time to point everything I am usually not too far out anyway. It has always worked quite well for me. Zumba was exhausting last night and I am a bit achey, but debating about going for a swim tonight. While I am out of the house I can't be...

Hi BugsBunny, welcome and thanks for your post. Yes your story sounds very similar to mine, I avoided dieting altogether for years and now I find myself yo-yoing all the time. I really want to create healthy habits! I have upped my exercise a lot which I hope will give me more breathing space...

Oh Happy Days!! Glad I changed my WI to Friday, same as I did last week. I made it a permanent change in my app as well. Down to 10st 6 1/4lb. Happier with this loss. I definitely feel the exercise if toning me up as well. I can feel it all over. Tonight I am planning on venison with red wine...

Well done on your loss! Slow and steady is the best way xx

Well I may only be cheating myself but I ended up actually weighing myself Friday last week, so am putting off Official WI til tomorrow as I didn't like what I saw this morning! Just 3/4 lb off which seems very unfair. I have had a couple of lapses but nothing serious. Previously I would have...

Doing exercise is good. Helps you burn cals much quicker obviously, but also I find its great as when I am exercising I can't be eating!! Been doing a bit of power walking, and love Zumba which I am off to tonight.

So looking forward to my dinner! Today so far: Breakfast Melba toast x 6 (2PP) Laughing cow x 2 (1PP) Lunch: Brocolli Stilton Soup (HM) (3PP) Lots of fruit Dinner: Homemade burger in a bun and chips (11PP) Yum Yum Yum!! Zumba tonight too so will probably have a little snack before then...

Dolly don't be hard on yourself. It doesn't help. I do this too, and then beat myself up and punish myself for slipping by just letting myself carry on down the slippery slope, but it doesn't help and just means I have more work to do when I decide to get back on track. Just get back on the...

The weekend is nearly over and it looks like I have got out the other side with 24 weeklies left and all my ap's. Happy with that. I haven't mentioned before I don't think, but I also gave up smoking and drinking on 1st January. The drinking is just for January, but the smoking is hopefully...

Well done on your loss! How is the 30 day shred?! Too scared to try it!

Okay so the weigh in wasn't good. I got a STS. I can live with this and making adjustments this week by not eating my ap's. Stayed on plan, and have some nice meals planned for next week so I am hopeful of a loss this week!

Well I blew all my weeklies and APs at the weekend (which was always the intention) However I don't feel like I got the best value out of them really, I used a big chunk of them last night for a kebab but would have much preferred a nice roast dinner if I am honest, and I feel a bit like I...

Dinner sounds nice, well done on staying on track this weekend. I really need to make some soup. I try and take it to work for lunches when I can, as if I make my own tomato soup its 0PP and nice and filling too!

Well today has gone well so far: Breakfast: Melba toast (2pp) Laughing cow (1pp) Lunch: Warburtons roll (4pp) Chs and onion s/wch filler (2pp) Dinner: Tbc about 10pp Snacks Creme egg (5pp) Rice cakes and philly (1pp) Leaves me 1pp plus 3 aps and 49 weeklies. Need to plan something nice to...

It will definitely be the water. You can look forward to a good loss next week I can bet! Stick with what you're doing, the water is healthy and will pay off in the end!

So pleased as just updated my stats and realised I now have less than a stone to lose! Feels much more achievable now I have seen that. Am aiming for another 2lb for next Thursday. It's important I stay realistic as it will take a while to come off because its that last stone, plus I am better...

Well the results are in... 3lb loss so 10st 8lb. To be fair that is over 10 days because of when I started, but I am happy with that. Still annoyed with myself that I am losing weight I have allowed myself to put back on after putting in so much effort to lose it, but trying to get over that...

Sounds like a great way to use them, scones takeaways and a few glasses of wine...lovely! I am jealous as given up drinking for January, although on the plus side, my weeklies are going a LOT further!

Hi Dolly, Subscribing, congratulations on a great loss! Keep at it! Vicky

Hiya, just catching up! Your steak dinner sounds lovely! Would kill to have 33PP, my 26 seem to be gone before I know it. Your the same as me now, waiting for new weeklies on Thursday, have no plans on how to use them but like to feel like I have made them count by spending them on 1 or 2...

Me again, Having a hungry day today which is a pain as I have used up all my weeklies and AP's now. Although I had earned 4 yesterday, I tracked them and used them on Sunday! Got to get to Thursday. It will be fine I am sure! The problem is I didn't start on a Thursday which is my weigh in...

Well I learnt my lesson about scale peeking...the next day I had a phantom 4lb showing!! You would think I would have stopped there, but nno! The next day I had to check to make sure the phantom 4lb had vanished (which they had...phew!) However I dropped the scales on my toe! Ouch!! That's karma...

Trying to decide when to weigh in. My usual weigh in day was a Thursday. I haven't weighed in officially this week, as only started again n Monday. I had a sneaky look and am 2lb down which is great though! Thinking of hanging on now until my next official weigh in next Thursday. It means my...

Thursday 9/1/14 It's weird the post says 1 day ago, when that was actually Wednesday. Not sure why?? Thursday was another good day I think: Breakfast: Special K Bar (2PP) Lunch: Warburtons square wrap (4PP) Ham (1PP) Philly 1PP) Salad (0PP) Yogurt (1PP) Dinner: Chicken breast in sauce...

Well the day ended okay, although I didn't find time for a proper dinner at all, I did stay good!

Hiya, found you and subscribed!

I will dig out your diary and subscribe sweet as pie and thanks for subscribing Shez, you are not far away from my weight when I first started weightwatchers, with the same goal I had. I did it from starting in the January to my wedding day on 12th May, so you will be there in no time at all...

Hi Sweet as Pie, thanks for subscribing. Weight has gone up and down quite a lot since April, but this is the highest it has got to since I started weightwatchers. I started out about 2 years ago at over 12st and determined not to let it get back to that again! You seem to be able to keep going...

Back on track Just found my old diary. Wow has it been that long since I took this seriously?! It's scary that I am now 10st 11lb and have more work to do to reach my goal. I am determined though and so sick of my clothes not fitting. Today's food has been: Breakfast: Ryvita cheese...

Day 1 done.. No chocolate or crisps and within my points so I am pleased. Made brocolli and stilton soup for work lunches. 3pp per serving. Plus extra thin pizza bases which work out at 8pp per base.

So today's food so far and planned for dinner: Breakfast: Nestle Breakfast biscuits 5PP Lunch: WW Wrap with Ham and LF Philly 5PP 2 Satsumas Would have had a banana but it was all squishy. Now I am starving. Not having dinner til 7.30 but that will be: LF Chicken Kiev 8PP Potatoes 150g 3PP...

Okay my skinny jeans are getting a bit (okay a lot) too tight, and they are less skinny and more lumpy if I am honest! Time to get back on track. Just a bit of background about me. I started dieting about 14 months ago. I had a great goal - my wedding in May 2012. I managed to get just a few...
