Well I've joined WW again for the 1 millionth time and I ate loads last night and tonight. Feeling so ill and not looking forward to my weigh in on Tuesday now. I sit in alone most weekends and it really is my danger time. Does anyone else experience the same thing? Any ideas how to overcome...

I have to agree with the other Irish girls. CelticChick is my username on most sites that I frequent so it wouldn't be that hard to pick me out here either and like Kazz said I don't want to advertise the fact that I'm here on minis, in my hometown. I want to be able to post freely as I have...

Just bumping this up to the top!

That hits the nail on the head really. I agree that you should think about seeking some help, go and talk to someone before it gets out of hand completely. We are all here trying to develop healthy relationships with food and our bodies but that is definitely not the way to go just to fit into...

Mary is gone, there is another lady there now called Sheila. If you like I can give you her number by pm. Sorry for delay only just managed to find out she is gone!

As a pet lover and a member of PETA ( People for the ethical treatment of animals) I just wanted to post this here. The more people who know about them and join them or help in any way the better. Some of the videos on the site are extremely upsetting, especially the Chinese fur farm, the...

My friend went to see her. I could try and get the number for you if you like.

Count me in too.

:jelous::eek::eek::jelous:

My dog has ate two of these packets out of my bags, I panicked first time but he was fine, his poo was slightly runny :jelous: but that was all. I make sure I don't drop any when I bring something home now!!

Aww thanks everyone.

I've never heard that or read it anywhere either. But then again I just skim through the books now, you tend to do that when you have a stack of them the same height as you :p

I'm thinking of giving CD another go. Since my blip last weekend I haven't been 100% back on plan so feeling the need to take food out of the equation for a while, but so afraid I'll try CD again and end up failing and binging for months like before- not sure what to do, all confused but just...

Wow!! That is great, well done!

I cried my eyes out watching it last night which is a rare thing for me! I never cry at tv programmes, but the poor doggie really got to me, I dread the thoughts of ever having to make that decision about my little doggies! And then Denny :cry: I can't wait for the next series! Love it so much.

Ok would you like: Devils food cake Cheesecake Blackberry and Apple cake carrot cake with sultanas chocolate apricot cheesecake crumbly apple cake lemon cheesecake spiced banana cake wholemeal apricot cake

Congrats on your loss! That is great.

Its for people who find they have hit a plateau- its basically adding up all your points for the week and splitting them a certain way so you have a different amount everyday. It gets your metabolism going again as your body can get used to getting the same amount of calories a day while doing...

You are supposed to have your high day in the middle of the week- day 4 ideally. I did the wendy plan before, but didn't like it because my high day was very high, if that makes sense and it was just like one big binge. I have a spreadsheet somewhere that will calculate the daily points of the...

CelticChick loss to date- 15lb Weigh day is Wednesday Feb Goal= 12lb Week 1= ??

Congrats on your loss for January and like starlight said a huge congrats on being half way there, I cannot wait until my ticker says 41lb lost 99lb to go- just to see it go under the 100lb to go mark!!

I know! I'm holding myself back from reading the online summaries from season 2! (well I read a little bit!:o)

I have a ww cookbook at home, think it has a few cake recipes, I'll have a look for you tonight and post up any I find.

Thanks starlight, the house is junk free, I've loads of points left over and I'm just back from my first salsa slim class, feeling good again, so onwards and downwards!

Well done on getting to day 2! How's your afternoon going?

We don't have channel 5 in Ireland, so we are still waiting! :cry:

Going to go in this afternoon, still a little shaky this morning so taking my time, going to have breakfast now and shower and then head in. Ye DH was very good!! Can't wait till next week! Wish Prison break would hurry up and come back on! Wentworth Miller.....yum yum ;)

I can't find the exact recipe anywhere but for a big pot it was 10 medium carrots 2 stalks of celery 1 large Onion 1.5-2 Courgette ( the more courgette the thicker it will be) 5 chicken stock cubes I know you are vegetarian so will have to use vegetable stock, never tried them in it but I'm...

I'm not weighing myself this week, I know my mentality if I see a gain- might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamp sort of thing and I'd keep eating today. So I'm starting afresh, this is still day 1 of week 4 but just no weigh in. Will have my weigh in next week. Fingers crossed! Hope...

Thanks so much sparkle. Your post really hit home with me. I have looked into things I'd like to do but never moved on them, I'm going to try and figure that out some more and actually do something about it. Also I am going to get back into the right frame of mind and get to my goal, achieve...

Thanks for all your support, I'm taking the day of work to relax and get back in the right frame of mind. I did eat last night, I had to force myself to, it was like something took over my body that said- even if you don't feel like it you have to do it- it was strange, old habits die hard I...

I am so fed up and feeling so low this evening, I just want to eat and eat and then eat some more. I'm tired of my life, I'm tired of a job I hate but don't have the confidence to try and find another and financially not sure I'd be able to make a move at the moment anyway. I'm tired of...

So sorry- forgot to post the recipe, I promise I'll post it this evening! :o

Apart from my slip and eating the take aways I had a good weekend, bit of shopping and mostly relaxing. Nothing exciting! But I enjoyed it! :)

Thanks for all of the support. I only managed half of my points today, still feeling a little ill after last night! I cleaned the house from end to end and like I said there is not one bit of bad food in my house, so really feel like tomorrow is a fresh ( clean) new week, I love the feeling...

Didn't have the best weekend. Friday I was just starving, came home and cooked my pointed dinner and was still hungry. My cousin arrived to stay the night and was hungry and wanted a take away, weak hungry moment I thought why not, a treat, so I got my take away which I didn't even enjoy, it...

Cereal, fruit , weetabix etc just doesn't fill me. My normal breakfast is 3 turkey rashers on toast with a slice of low fat cheddar and a scraping of light mayo and relish, It is delicious and all only 5 points. But for a change has anyone got any other tasty ideas? I have eggs the odd...

Half a pint- 300ml is 1.5 points

I'm always knocking about, never really get time to post all that much though! I had a bad night tonight:break_diet: , had a take away after my dinner, my cousin arrived starving. Tomorrow is the test, will I make it straight back onto points......fingers crossed!

Have to work for a couple of hours. Get as much exercise in as possible, clean my car and my house from end to end- I'm sad I actually love cleaning my house! And then veg the rest of it, nothing exciting at all!

I haven't got the exact quantities of the stuff till I go home, so I'll post it this evening, it is so delish you won't think its zero points!

Thats great, so glad you found her!!

Oh no, thats awful, I hope you find her. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost my little puddens.

Thanks :) Don't know whats wrong with me today but I am STARVING!! Would so love something nice and yummy( and laden with calories!). But I will resist, I'll have something tasty and healthy.

I walk my dogs any evening its not raining, I add a tiny bit on every night or two to keep pushing myself and I love it, feel great after. I also have a cross trainer that I use at home, sometimes after the walk or just on its own if no walk. I'm joining a salsa slim class tonight with my...

Week 2 weigh in and down another 6lb! I honestly can't believe it. It must be the exercise!! And the total cutting out of any kind of crisps! SO over the moon right now!! And really motivated for another week!!

lol- ah you never know where the wind would take me, I feel a case of itchy feet coming on! :p:p;)

You can have them for the weekend if you like! ;)

How do I shrink that picture! I already put it through tiny pic! :o

My two lovely snow white doggies decided to dig up the garden in the rain, this is what arrived in the back door to me!!

Congrats on getting back on track, you can do it!! If your CB starts again drop me a text or pm :)

Yum must look out for them in tesco!! I had a burger too last night after you put the idea in my head. Was delicious!

Thanks everyone. I'm still going strong, not one day over my points in almost two weeks now, I feel great!! Having a night off exercise tonight, feeling tired. Can't wait to get home.

Whenever I want a burger I buy the Big Al 4oz and cook it on the George Foreman to get as much as the fat out as possible, think it comes to around 4 points. Then I use the small burger buns, not the large and think that makes another 2 points. Slice of low fat cheese and yum yum!! Actually...

I'm doing points. Like you I need the control but it also allows me to eat everything I like in moderation while still losing weight. Which keeps me on track and not feeling deprived.

Hey Sparkle I am so sorry to hear that, its terrible, you just never know. Hope you get in contact with him soon. Let us know anyway. Hope you are ok. xxx

Good idea, I have already drank a litre so far today and will get another litre into me between lunch and home I hope. I always have to remind myself to drink it over the weekend at home though :rolleyes:

I never use my bonus points unless I have an event or something to go to. I always have quite good losses doing this so I'm going to keep that up. Its up to you really, WW say not to eat more than 12 bonus points in a week though.

Well done on your loss so far!! And best of luck with getting to your goal, so close now!

One leader always told us to make sure and point all of our BLT's ( Bites, licks and tastes) if we found things slowing down, I always find I forget about that one square of choc I rob on one of my nieces etc. Pointing absolutely everything really is the only way to go. Congrats on realising...

Hey Congrats! That is fab. Good luck with reaching your target for Jan- you can do it! ;)

Hey busy! Congrats on the loss, I've been wondering where you'd got to! Never managed to catch you on msn, maybe one of these days! Well done again!

I'm always popping in and out during the day, having a quick read here and there. Not able to post as much as I did before Christmas during the week but I plan to catch up to every thread in here over the weekend. Maybe we could start a thread introducing ourselves and add a bit of info, on the...

Weigh in this morning and I'm down 9lb and 1.2% body fat gone! :D :D :D Dragging my butt of the couch every night was well worth it. Here's to another good week!

Hey all Thanks for all the encouragement. I'm going to catch up with everyone elses threads later on tonight. :) Well its day 6 and I feel great, exercised Saturday and Sunday. Haven't gone over my points even once and really not tempted to yet. I had friends in the house on Saturday night...

Pity about the date but obviously no loss if he was that rude and arrogant :rolleyes: Hope tonight goes better for you ;)

Ye sure, let me know when suits you. I'll be about most of the weekend I'd say :)

Just a quick check in as work has been mad the past couple of days and haven't had the energy to type in the evenings! Still going strong, going to start getting back into exercise over the weekend and then out walking the dogs every night next week, thats the plan anyway! I'm feeling great...

Hey all, I'm back again, today is day 2 back on plan and already feeling better, I've regained all the weight I've lost and then some which leaves me at an all time high on the scales but not letting it get to me. This time I will do it, next Christmas I will be in a slinky number!!! I will...

Ok I'm back again, I'm counting points while having some cambridge packs, sort of a ww/cd1200! I have everything crossed that I manage to get past the stone mark this time!! Today is day 2 and I feel the world of difference already, I'm down 5lb since yesterday which I know is just bloat and...

Ok well it is day one for the millionth time today. I am feeling positive, have had a litre and a half of water so far and half a tetra in coffee. I have to succeed this time, I've outgrown all of my clothes, had to make a run at the car and practically throw myself into it this morning and...

Thanks for all the replies. I was on lustral but he felt the appetite reducing benefits of reductil might suit me better as well as having the anti-depressant side too. I will go have a chat with him about it and see about maybe just going back on the lustral.

The new addition, her name is Saffy, Lilly was confusing the two of them as Louis and Lilly sound so alike!

Hi all I have attempted CD on numerous occasions and once made it to day 10 before falling off the wagon. My first attempt was November last year and now I am four stone heavier and still haven't succeeded. :( I am going to try ss one last time and have an appointment with a cdc for this...

Hey Best of luck with the restart :)

Thanks to everyone for your replies, I like so many of the names but I just can't seem to call her anything other than Lilly :o But everyone is still telling me Lilly and Louis sounds stupid :rolleyes:

I'm back on track and joined a great meeting last night so feeling positive all round, thanks for asking Maintainer. :)

Bellybee of course we all understand! I'd safely say the majority of us have tried every diet there is and flitted from one to the other, you just have to do whats right for you. We'll get there, just stick with it, I've had so much yummy food today and have points left so its really not...

Thanks both of you really feeling good. Gen you going to start a diary over here now?

Ok back on track 100%. I joined a class last night, weighed in at an all time high and actually stayed for the talk this time and it seems to have set me up in the right frame of mind, I'm wiping the slate clean and starting afresh, not thinking about the past at all.

Oh God No!!:D People have asked me before is he called after Louis Walsh, that nearly made me change his name! He is called after Louis Vuitton, I have an obsession with the bags! :o

I have another puppy, another Japanese Spitz, female but I just can't come up with a name for her!! I was thinking Lilly and that goes with Louis but they are getting confused so please inspire me!!

Hey Thanks for the message. I didn't ever try splitting the packs to be honest, except the tetras, I use the chocolate one as milk in my coffee throughout the day, other than them I'd have the other packs in one go. I might give it a go and see how that works for me. The last time I managed...

No need to be sorry. How are you getting on on SS? I'm thinking of giving it another bash myself.

Thanks to everyone who replied, I am much better than I was last week, still all over the place but not as down in myself thank God.

Ok yet again I am confused! I am thinking of going back and giving ss one last huge shot. I am so unhappy, bloated and miserable, my pjs are now tight on me :o, none of the jackets or clothes I bought over the last month fit properly anymore, I'm bloated, out of breath at the slightest...

I'm home sick again, I am on stronger anti-biotics this time so hopefully it will be cleared up for good. My dog is sick, he is in the vets since yesterday and won't be home till at least tomorrow:( , he has inflammatory bowel infection, he ate part of my blind :rolleyes: . I haven't got the...

Thanks to all who replied to this thread. I am feeling ok again this evening. I've taken some chicken out of the freezer to defrost for dinner tomorrow, I'm going to make yet another pot of soup and I have my meals planned out for tomorrow. I'm going to weigh myself in the morning and then...

I am so so sorry for your loss.

Ok I went to get a tattoo on Sunday with my sister and her friend. They both went before me and the guys in the shop were laughing and joking with them and flirting etc.. it came to my turn and all I got was, which colour? No talking or laughing through the tattoo or anything. Before we all...

Enjoy your weekend to the full ;) Monday just remember how good you feel while on plan if you are swaying at all, it did the trick for me. This isn't a punishment diet, its the path to a whole new life for us. :)

Hey and welcome. Don't dwell on the weight you've regained, just concentrate on losing it. We have all been there! Make sure you come on here for lots of support. It is a fab diet, just stick with it and you will see the results. :)

I've deleted my signature until my official weigh in on Wednesday morning. I want a completely new start as I gained back most of the weight I lost on my last attempt at WW so want to start anew with my signature. Still going strong. Exercising for 40 mins everyday. I bring my dog for a...

How are you getting on? Haven't seen you post in a few days. Hope all is well.

Hey Tatty Put the small blip behind you and just keep going, if we can all learn to do that we will get there! Its my major downfall, I eat one thing wrong and see it as a ticket to eat for a month :rolleyes: Keep chipping away at those pounds and we'll get there!

Hey Busy How are you getting on? Still feeling positive and doing well?

I'm overwhelmed with all the lovely replies! It is so so nice of each and every one of you to take the time to reply to my thread. :) Louis ( AKA Pudden:D ) is home safe and sound and is being bolder than ever, don't think he is too impressed with me leaving him in the vets!! I'm letting...

Hey all Well I have had a great day, kept to my points, exercised, cleaned the house and all in all feeling good. Made out graphs to chart my weekly weight loss, hoping that will help keep me going and made charts of my measurements and will now take measurements every month, hoping all these...

Thanks for all the support. I survived the flights and the weekend fine, even went out to a club which I haven't done in SOO long. Back at it today, at an all time high on the scales and really got the kick in the arse I needed this morning when I measured myself, my thigh is now bigger than...

My little pudden is sick. Been up all night with him vomiting and he is yelping in pain when you touch his stomach :( He is in the vets at the moment on a drip, poor little thing is very distressed as am I. I know he will be ok, just hate leaving him there all scared, he was shaking with...

I also have PCOS and suffer from excess facial hair with it. My weight has yo yoed for years. Would love to be able to stick to CD to do something about it but carbs just keep finding me ( and my hips it seems)! :rolleyes:

Had a bad evening yesterday. Went shopping after work, tired and cold. Brought my niece to BK on the way home and didn't get anything even though I had the points for a flamer, I decided to be good, but by the time we got home I was starving and just started eating and eating, having the...

Still going strong and feeling very good and determined this time, ( like everytime I suppose but fingers crossed anyway! :p) Went to tesco last night with a friend and they have this dip I just love, so I put one in my basket thinking I can have it once I point it, but thing is I need a huge...

I'm grand, made my soup last night and have a huge flask of it with me. Feeling good again and very very determined! :D

A failure is something you most certainly are not! Glad you've got your head sorted and made the decision to go back to 790 :)

Just been out to do a healthy shop during my lunch break. Going home to make yet another huge pot of soup and go for a walk, all positive again today!! Have loads of points left and no inclination to eat them all which is good! :D I'm viewing it as a lifetime commitment now and not just a...

Hey I'm doing WW also. I don't go to meetings, I just have all the books since I have joined about 30 times in the past so I do it myself so can't help with the code thing. How long has it taken you to lose the 47lbs?

Thanks Mini I didn't pick myself up today to be honest but I will do better tomorrow. Going home now to have a lie down, very tired! And my little baby is fine, he is white once again ;)

Ok hit a low tonight. Went out for dinner with my cousin and as it is I hate walking in to restaurants and anywhere really because of my size, but we got seated near a family and the teenage daughter made a point of saying something about my size to her father who told her to stay quiet. After...

Well I'm still going strong. Eating my veg and fruit and drinking all my water. Went clothes shopping last night and was starving by the time I'd finished. Usually I'd think feck it and go into M&S and get loads of yummy stuff on my way home but I resisted which was a huge achievement for me...

Well I'm still going strong, eating my soup like there is no tomorrow and it is getting me through the hunger! Really trying not to weigh myself at the moment, so far so good. My stomach is still getting used to all the veg so its making very strange noises which is getting embarrassing! :o...

Hi Jazzy I've just finished a big bowl of my soup there, it was delish and I don't really like soup, I don't use the ww recipe though, I use a variation, might try a few chilli flakes and see what it is like! Thanks for the idea ;) I am going to the shop in the morning to buy more veg to...

6lb in two days is fantastic!! Well done, maybe I should start following your eating plan ;) Good luck at lunchtime, I dread that sort of thing!! :(

Haven't been able to get on much over the past day or two so starting my diary as of today! :) Ok today is Day 1 of completely 100% pointing. The last two days I have been doing well, eating fruit, making no point veg soup ( can you freeze soup by the way??) but did have a chinese take away...

Hey all I'm back again. Went completely off track, was home sick for two weeks with an ear and chest infection and just went completely of the rails so I hadn't come as far in my quest for learning how to eat properly as I thought I had. But onwards and downwards!! I really feel good about...

Hey Sorry to hear you're not feeling very good today about things, I know its SOO hard but it is the right thing to do in letting him go. Stay strong and you know I'm always here if you need to talk.

Hi Mini The pictures of him conked on the fireplace and hiding outside is him almost grown, he is nearly there now, he will never grow past knee height and most of that will be his hair! He turns into a complete furball when he is an adult!

This is my little pouch Louis. He is a Japanese Spitz and he is four months old. He keeps me going, anyday I come home in a bad mood I can't help but smile when I see him coming running! I love him so much. Just thought I'd share a few pics and maybe get the ball rolling for other thread on our...

Hey Gen Yes I have had a couple of bad days but I enjoyed them ;) ! So the guilt isn't happening for once! Back on track in the morning :) But I can't believe how bloated and lethargic and lifeless I am after eating bad and this bad wasn't half like I used to eat but I never noticed how it...

I have the calender of the book on my desk. There is a page for everyday with bits from the book, opinions, stories etc. Really like it and its all quite true! :p

This is my little pouch Louis. Love him to bits, little brat has me wrapped around his little paw!

Haven't been able to get online much over the last week! Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I've been off this week and away a lot so not eating as well as I should be but still exercising and feeling smaller so thats good! Not expecting much of a loss but sure will have to wait and see...

Week three weigh in yesterday and down another 3.5lb. Thats a total of 16lb in three weeks :D

Thanks again everyone :D @ Zareena- yes it is WW I'm on, I even had one semi bad day this week and like I said didn't do as much exercise as planned so it seems to be working! @ Roch- I want to lose between9-10 stone, I was 10st 7lb a few years ago so I was happy enough at that or maybe...

Thanks for all the replies. :) Week 2 weigh in this morning and I'm down another 3lb. That makes 12.5lb in two weeks. So happy! My exercise wasn't as good as last week so I'm determined to make up for it this week and stick to my evening walks.

Thanks everyone, really pleased with myself :D And D_Q I count points, I find it suits me better and apart from that all I did this week was walk my dog every night and drink 2-3 litres of water a day.

After many failed attempts on cdc and lipotrim I decided to get back on weight watchers, it works for me and I actually love exercise when I get into the swing of it. I just had my week one weigh in this morning and I am down 9.5lb! So my hard work has paid off and now into my second week and...
