I'm still reading!! I've had a bad week (self inflicted), back on track today and doing my best to just look forward. So easy to get really cross and let one bad day turn into a bad week then a bad month. I've lost 2 stone since November, have been impatient this week so sabotaged myself which...

What a week, I've been feeling under the weather too, only it's not a tooth it's my ear. It's so hard to stay on plan when you feel poorly. I've just wanted to lay with my head on my hot water bottle, drink hot chocolate and eat toast. I know if I track I won't have gone over my points but I...

I can tell you vermouth Dry is 2pp for 50ml and vermouth sweet is 3pp

I'm being effected by the technical issues. Rang WW yesterday and they said they are doing what they can to fix it. I can't track on any of the e products but the calculator is working so I have been making a note of what I'm eating and the points. Very frustrating though when you're paying...

Oh you definitely have enough reasons to keep you going, if you're anything like me you wont want to be defeated.

I'm going away in Nov and really want to be slimmer so that I can relax about getting on the plane and things. I'm hoping it is realistic to lose 84lbs by then (I think that sounds better than 5 stone as you lose in lbs each week) so far I've lost 23lbs. I guess only I can make it happen so if...

50g Aldi unsmoked streaky bacon is 4pp. Looking at smoked bacon it seems to be about 2 points per rashers if its rindless and thin cut

I weigh 22.2 and am allowed 47 points. I usually use 40-45 during the week but Fri and Sat I use all of the 47 plus some weeklies. My leader made a very good point that if you don't use your points you won't have any to cut as your weight decreases. They work it out based on how many...

Hi Maxine, I weigh on a Thursday night at a WW meeting and am really getting into it. I don't think the time of day matters too much, maybe half a pound/1 pound... Im liking having Weeklies to use on a Friday evening and Saturday afternoon then I focus for the rest of the week. I also want to...

Hi, I don't post on here much but your message above really touched me as I think I can say that I was feeling the same before Christmas. I have tried every diet there is and seem to bounce (quite literally ;-)) between being 100% motivated and 100% depressed. I joined WW on 7th November 2013...

I have weight watchers mid price scales. Ive had them a very long time and given that they match up with my CDC ones I'd say they're still accurate. Very easy to read, very clever readings (not just weight) and they aren't too big and bulky.

Take a picture of yourself before/after each weigh in. You'll find it easier to notice if you have pictures to compare!

I hope you feel better soon xx

3 shakes and a meal. Is that sole source plus or step 2 810 Kcal? You can have the four products but should have a glass of skimmed milk too.

I think when you are poorly you can stay on the plan but have to go up a step or 2 to give your body the extra energy it will need to heal/fight the infection. That said I don't know if anything in the products could affect certain medications and how they work. If your consultant doesn't get...

I was told I could add most herbs, curry powder and chilli powder but nothing like soy sauce or pastes

That's the one I have. It's brilliant but it's beginning to smell a bit of burning when I use it!

Don't get disheartened Jenboo, no two scales are the same. Personally, with such a drastic diet, I would stay away from weighing mid week. Just get the nice surprise when you see your consultant. Weight is so fickle, one hot day could see you 5lbs heavier than a cold day where you've eaten...

Thanks CountryBumpkin. It'd be great to buddy up, I'm going to be here a very long time!! I've been sat with my diary thinking about the weight I could be by certain dates. It's actually quite scary, I've been huge for so long it doesn't seem possible. This plan was exactly what I needed...

Mmm peanut butter, that would be good! Though thinking about the grim butterscotch flavour, maybe not! I've not had soup or porridge, I can't face the textures, no idea why! It would be nice to have another bar like the lemon one. Grapefruit or lime maybe... Wonder if they could come up with...

I'm on week 3 and keep dreaming about jacket potatoes with butter and salt. Nothing fancy, no extra fillings. Not craving anything sweet!! Its just bizarre!! My mouth is watering just typing it lol

I've been told by my consultant to do exactly that as I'm not much of a meat eater (!). I have chicken with cottage cheese or tuna and an egg normally. I really hope things improve for you Xx

Fingers crossed for you Suki x

I had my second weigh in last night, lost just over 4lb so that's 1 stone in 2 weeks. I can definitely do this. Think I'm replacing my food addiction with an addiction to this forum!!!

CountryBumpkin, you are fab. I've just read through your list and I can nod my head for all of them. I've seen a few of your posts now and think you are amazing at encouraging people and being honest. Ive been following the CWP for two whole weeks now and this forum, mostly your posts are how...

I have two things that motivate me, 1- Going into a shop like Fat Face and buying clothes that I love rather than buying anything that fits from the plus size range!! 2- I know my son and my partner love me but going out with them looking like this I feel like I'm letting them down. I'm an...

Hi all, I'm on day 13 now. Its been a steep learning curve but I think step 2 is a good way to ease into this diet. I managed to survive a work BBQ, a meal at the pub and then a family BBQ last weekend and still lose 9lbs. I feel like I'm investing a lot in this so I haven't been tempted to...

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to the CWP (week 2) and am on Step 2 because of my high BMI. I have a very good Camb consultant who has given me all the info she is meant to plus lots of extra. One of the things I was reading this morning was about the various recipes in the Steps book. The...
