I do prefer the WW diet, however I did lose 3st in 4 months with SW. We could plan everything before but now the children take over and you can't really plan anything. I am changing my own diet but that is to try and feel better so we will see what happens. Ebay prices sometimes are crazy...

Books are old school, embrace the future :D

Shabba my wife says the same, however book sales are down while ebook sales are on the way up. In a few years we will all be reminiscing of the olden days of books

Its fine, We both done SW in the past and I think the planning that you need to do with SW is the difficult part. I hear its better with the EE days rather than just green and red.

So ebay is the best bet then. It also annoys me that you cant get these thing digitally. The age of books is over and if you could get this on smart phones etc then that would be much more helpful

Hi, I haven't posted for a while mainly cos I have been working like a maniac. I have always been of the belief that you should stick with the diet that you have chosen and not keep changing. I have been on the WW diet for around 20 months and I maintain around my target weight. However...

Well done buddy. That's an amazing achievement, with a few more to come

Thanks, Hopefully work will settle down over the next few days and I can get back to normal. Eating at 9:30 is never a good thing and neither is getting 6hrs sleep

Even with an overtime filled week I have managed to lose 3lbs. Not had the greatest of weeks as I am so exhausted but at least I have managed to lose some. Hopefully this week involves more at home time and also some more lbs off

Feeling a bit better about the diet today. Had a chat to the Mrs about it on Sunday and told her that I needed to get back on it 100% with no guessing or straying. Although she doesn't agree that I have too, understands that I want to so she is going on it with me again. We started on Monday...

Well the last couple of weeks I have been working till around midnight and then the Boys wake up about 6:30. I would go to bed earlier but needs must.

I am maybe getting 6 hours a night. I am drinking plenty water and I don't have much bread. I will see how I get on this week

What a strange week. Sunday I had a easter dinner with my family and then some cholcolate. Nothing major point wise maybe a few over. However for the rest of the week I have been spot on my points and have even managed to save some for the last sunday and I have somehow managed to GAIN 4lbs...

Well 2lbs off this week so going in the right direction. Not sure how this week will go. I do not have a sweet tooth at all but just having all the chocolate in the house has a strange drawing effect. I was talking to the wife last night about it. She would never eat normal chocolate...

I quite often just use my points on a weekly basis. I have had this discussion in the past about it was a good way or not. I don't see why it should really make any difference as long as you are not eating 100 points one day and then 10 points per day for the rest of the week. As for 16...

I would stir fry some veg and some noodles

Well it turns out that I needed to get back on points. WI this week had me 2lbs over my trigger weight and 6lbs over my target and that was me kinda watching my points last week. I guess its the weeks of not paying too much attention and then the drinking at the wedding that has eventually...

I used to go late at night and found that if I went straight home I would be awake for hours but if I had either a sauna or jacuzzi to relax that I would have a great sleep

Well my non planning ways are coming back so as of today I am back on point counting. Weekend I had a wedding and although I am still below 12st, I am not feeling great and I was using that as my trigger weight. So I have decided to get back on points and hopefully feel better and lose a...

Well I was sure I had posted this week but it appears not. Anyway another STS for me. I am quiet surprised as I had takeaway for dinner everynight last week. I was working up at Loch Fyne and wasn't leaving until around 7 so not getting home till almost 9 and by that point I couldn't bring...

Apple will bring out a new version of the iPhone every year like they do the iPod. The original iPhone was so reprieved of features that phone users were used to that it was obvious that the strategy would be to release one every 12-18 months and have a constant stream of up-graders. Its a...

I am a massive Apple fan. However I find the iphone a little to much. Mobile companies are cashing in on it by only making it available on stupid contracts or by paying massive amounts for it. Touch phones do the same thing. Apps are available for all phones now, its just what you want to...

What do you want the phone to do? Depending on what you want you phone to do should determine which phone you should get. I got my phone last year (HTC Magic) because the Iphone wasn't out on Vodafone at the time. I have seen and used many Iphones and to be honest wasn't that fussed. I got...

Hi, I originally done a VLCD (w8) and when I came off it, I went straight onto WW. I continued to lose weight after that so as long as you are sensible about your eating when you are refeeding then you will be fine

Well another week goes by and I am still the same. So far the maintenance has been ok. Been cooking lot more so I think that helps although had the 16point sandwich again last Friday. Rach - Sorry you were feeling under the weather although that's what gingerness does to you **sorry to all...

Sorry I think the lack of smileys might have given you the impression I was annoyed :D

Oh the bald joke. If you were Ginger for much longer you would wish to be bald

Ha ha ginger that's pretty funny.

I am back on, and no it hasn't taken me a week to recover from my hangover. Not sure what week of maintainence i am on but I haven't put any weight on anyway. I am not pointing the same either. I am trying to keep a rough calc in my head but not being too strict with it. Dad is ok, been...

My dad is out and that's that part over. They will examine the biopsy and if anything else needs done then it will. I am just about over my hangover and yes it is Tuesday

I think it is (Calories divided by 66) + (Sat Fat divided by 4.12)

Odd week last week. Dad got his scope done. Turns out he has ulsers on his bowel. He got out again for the weekend but has to go back today to discuss it with the doctors as they were too busy to see him on Friday. Didn't point a single thing last week but managed to lose 1lb so I must be...

Stayed away from the thread as I was a week behind but watched them all last night. Well done Jerry, unbelivable. Normally the ones send home early don't lose much. As for the final 3, know as soon as they came out it was going to be Helen. They all lost over 50% which is amazing. As for...

Well done buddy, great weight loss

Ah it turns out you shouldn't have updated the baseband which comes with the new firmware. Hackintosh are on it at the moment, although nothing yet. I would expect something by the end of the month. Sorry Rach

Rach, Can you not restore it to factory settings and at the same point donwgrade the latest firmware version. Then install the jailbreak version of the firmware that was last on it. Granted I don't know if this is possible as I haven't got an iphone but with most other hacked phones the...

I had been avoiding this thread cos I had to catchup. I was more surprised that they voted off Kirsten and not Helen. Why do poeple think she is a threat? She never loses big weight and has shown in the past that she can't do it alone. I would have voted of Helen as Kirsten would have been...

Thanks, WI was Saturday and I managed a STS so although I am not really happy about it at least it wasn't a gain. Dad is out at the moment thanks to a hospital cock-up but he goes back in on Wednesday. Going to try for another push this week to see if I can get a couple of lbs off.

I am getting frustrated with WW at the moment. Last week I was within my points for the week and gained 2lb. Now normally I WI on a Saturday morning but on a Wednesday I also weigh and it give me a good indication of what my weight will be on the Saturday. It will appear that I am going to...

Friday I had a 12 point dinner. This meaning that I was the closest i have ever been to eating my exact points for the week. What was the outcome...a 2lb...gain. I know I said I wasn't fussed, well I was fussed when I gain. I know I have been eating wrong food at wrong times but I am pretty...

Thanks, Dad is doing well. He still needs 1 test done but might get out for the weekend. Also I have tracked all my food for the week. If I have a 13 point dinner then I will have had my exact points for the wekk. I don't think I have ever managed that. Even being at points I still...

Na afriad not on the raise front. Maybe in the future but not sure the company is financially secure enough to give our pay rise at the moment

Well done. That's some amount of weight lose. You should be proud of that.

Hi everyone, As things are looking better for my dad I thought I would start to post again. Sat my exam yesterday, managed to score 100% so I am well happy about that. Dad is off IV antibiotics and he might get a weekend pass out but he still has to go for a scope today so all is looking...

Hi all, Siting in Starbucks having a coffee and studying for my exam today. Once again not great preparation this week but these things are sent to test us. Had much better news about my dad. He doesn't need a biopsy on his lymph nodes (sp). He has had a scan on his heart that was...

What a crappy weekend. My dad has been taken into hospital. He was complaining of stomach pains and he is having tests done. They think they are dealing with a infection in his bowel. Won't be posting too much for the next few days until I have better news :(

Well another 1.5lbs off, also didn't have a crunchie last night. 1.5 lbs away from my old target weigh, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Now if I can pass this exam I will be feeling much better

Yeah soon one will become one at lunch and one at dinner. The it will be snack crunchies and before you know it crunchie rehab Anyway, tried cous cous for the first time today. Not sure I even have an opinion on it

Rosie, I have no idea why I am eating them. I ate 1/2 last sunday and thought "I quite like this" and have had one everyday. It does now push my daily points to about 24 rather than 20 so I am still within points.

Although I am still not feeling great I have been trying to watch my points this week. WI is tomorrow so the truth will be then although I want to lose something, I will be happy enough with a STS. Exam re-sit is booked for next Tuesday. Been studying my weakpoints so far and doing mock tests...

Yeah someone agrees. I also think she is becoming more mentally unstable (Jillian refered to it). If they continue to pick on her then she will snap. I think she will win the challange but I don't think she will lose much weight again this week.

Ta much, I had another one last night and checked the nutritional info and it does come out at 4. Boooo

She is the biggest threat in the house so why should they not gang up on her. Also the Blue team (although its individuals they are with Bob) have the number advantage now so they will do everything they can to try and hamper everyone on Jillian's side (maybe Mike being the exception)

Why is everyone so outraged at Helen given Tara the time penalty?? She simply didn't want Tara to win the money, I don't blame her. Tara is just as loudmouthed as Filipe. Also I always find it funny listening to women wondering if someone is gay or not.

I have been pointing it at 4 but when I tried to work it out it said 3.5. Anyone??? They are my current favourite chocolate and I don't even have a sweet tooth

How many points are in a Crunchie. A full size one

Rach, I'm not really sure the point in teams?

Thanks Rach & Helen. I already feel more confident about the exam.

Its self learning so I can take as long as I want, however my company needs me to pass it before the 15th of Feb to keep our Microsoft Gold Partnership

I am not saying the Jillians shouty technique is bad, just that its not for everyone. I have been accused of doing things work related that have been untrue but then if I ignored every request from that person in future I would be picking up my P45

I have been avoiding this thread as I had to catch up on what happened. Here is my take on the Filipe/Jillian saga. Filipe is withing his right to explode at Jillian, she is there to do a job and she didn't do it. With Jillian, you either love or hate her. If I was on it I would love to...

Thanks Helen, Windows Server 2008 Network infrastructure.

Ah well failed my exam today. To be honest I am not surprised, being ill last week took away a good chunk of my study time and anything I did study I think just seived out my head. Anyway re-sit next week.

Rosie, I make omelettes more like a fratata (spelling not my strong point). I used to use milk in it as that was the only way I knew, until I started to read recipes for them. Most people substitute water for milk. I tried this last week and can't say i noticed that there was no milk in it

Thanks Rosie, I does seem like a quick year, I remember posting away after he was born. Nothing they can give you, the body will recover, eventually

Rach, I am shattered updating myself with your life. Can I ask why you didn't butter the scones? :D Also well done getting into Republic 14's. They are notoriously bad for sizing, I once went in to buy a pair of jeans from there and was told by the staff to buy a bigger size. Congrats on...

Almost forgot with my illness moaning. My oldest started Nursery on Thursday, he totally loves it. Also on Thursday was my youngest first birthday, so I lost 1lb and that included cake and pizza

Well back at work today. Feeling just the same as I have been feeling for the last couple of months, which is an improvment on how I was feeling last week. Had the Doc's on Friday and he explained how every ache/pain/symptom I had was linked to Chronic Fatigue and how to make things better...

A couple of days late but here it is. Lost another 2lbs. I have however taken a step back from my diet (not completly). I am pretty ill at the moment. I got diagnosed with chronic fatigue in October and I have been not great the last couple of weeks. This also falls in line with me getting...

I guess all times are accurate. I just WI at the same time ever week. At least that way I am consistent

I count them as 2 from my chinese. I also count curry sauce as 2 points

I had been ok the rest of the week just today I have the munchies, maybe its because tomorrow is WI day and its trying to sabotage it

I am keeping well away from the sandwich. Had my soup and then had my WW meal so 7 points (1/2 my sandwich) leaves me lots of points for dinner

Well now that you are back, you should stick to it for a couple of weeks :D

My spreadsheet calculates it to 1.4 so rounded would be 1.5. Does that online calc do 1/2 points? Rach, you will be fine. As my driving instructor said (many years ago but I still use it)"if you don't freak out before, you will freak out during"

Hi Rosie, I have just noticed on your side profiley thingy diet:what day is it???Made me actually laugh out load

I am really hungry today. All week I have been having WW meals for lunch (they were on offer) but today that doesn't look like it will hit the spot. I am not going down the 16point sandwich so I have went for tomato soup and then in about 40 mins I will have my beef hotpot. I blame it on...

I have also changed my goal weight. My life will be much less active this year than the last couple so feel my diet should be what controls my weight rather than exercise.

Thanks Rach, need to take the good days with the bad at the moment. It is easier when I don't have to make 2 different dinners and don't have the temptations, Pizza day (or saturday as everyone else calls it) will be a different matter.

I was wondering where I went for a moment. first few days of the week have been good, really helps having the wife doing it too. I am not feeling too great so not been making the dinners I should be making but all within points for us both.

I had beef hotpot today. I think they are mostly ok

Good luck, I am sure you will be fine

The sandwich turns out just to have been the beginning of my downfall at the weekend. Its all behind me now. From today I have a WW buddy, the wife has decided that she wants to give it another go.

I much prefer to cook my meal at night but tend to have ready meals/soups for my lunch. I don't really have the time to cook 2 loads of meals everyday either.

I didn't know that about frozen veg either

The 16 point sandwich is a sandwich baguette with ham, turkey and mayo with a hint of chilli. The real pointadder (new word I have just invented) is brie, it pretty much doubles the points but have to say it is worth it.

So its Friday, I have had my WI for the week, I'm cold, tired and generally not feeling great so for one day only there was a return of the 16 point sandwich. I have to admit that it was awesome

Oops, Hadn't been paying much attention but it turns out that I have actually lost 2lbs so thats good. Though I was WI at 170 at the start of the week and not 172.

Well I had a WI this morning. I have only been back on track for 3 days so I wasn't expecting much. My weight seems to have STS but I am feeling a little better as I am not feeling as bloated. This week was not so much about the numbers but more about getting back on track so I am not too...

Use the website supercook.com You can put in all the ingredients you have and it will give different recipes

Hi Delli, I have found that if I buy slim fit shirts then they generally fit better, however they are much dearer than a regular shirt

The thing with my shirts for work is that I have to wear a tie so I need to have a shirt that i can fasten, its fine for casual shirts

Not sure this is an exclusive female problem either. I struggle to get into 32" jeans as my thighs are big. Also my work shirts are all 16.5" necks which are all too big for me elsewhere and have long arms.

Thanks, I feel like I have put on loads though, hopefully will be able to be back at goal by Feb

Well back on it today. Been a hectic couple of weeks, had Oldest sons birthday, Christmas, Bro in Law birthday, New Year and my birthday so lots of takeaways :D I am sitting at 172lbs so I have 8 lbs to lose.

Hi everyone, Sorry laptop was away getting repaired. I am now back online. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and have a good New Year and hope the hangovers only last till the 2nd :D

Well I manage to lose 1.5 lbs so Irene - 4lb Old before I Die - 3lb MiniMimi2091 - 1lb lost - 7lbs to go TRISTAR - 6lbs 1lb lost 5lbs to go honeykiss - 5 lbs Puggso_32 - 4.5lbs Manny - 4.5lbs 1.5lbs lost 3lb to go Busybee - 5lbs Smirky - 3lbs Olivia1987uk - 7lbs RecoveringChocaholic -4lbs...

I think 20g of carbs would be almost impossible. I think the recommended daily intake is 300g but I try to keep mine to under 200

Well dinner changed last night but my total for yesterday was 23.5 so still managed to save some points. Also WI a day earlier and I have managed to lose 1.5lbs so I am back in the 11's. I am well chuffed with that.

Hi, I moved from W8 last year to WW. I continued to lose weight and then managed to maintain my weight for the best part of 8 months. The first coupld of weeks I didn't eat many carbs but now they are a part of my everyday eating.

Finished yesterday with 18.5points. Today looks like it will be 24.5 points so I will have a few extra points for tomorrow night

Todays lunch was Baxters soup 2.5 points and a sandwich 6.5. I also had 1/2 of a lemon and poppyseed muffin 4 points.

Thanks everyone, Had Ham, Carrot and Swede mash and Veg for my dinner last night, then spent 4 hours trying to get my wii "working". After calculating my points I had a whoping 14 points yesterday.

Todays lunch was Baxters Chicken and Veg soup - 2.5 Granary Bread - 3.5 Should hopefully be able to save some points up, to cover my Sisters birthday

well 23 points yesterday. Had a 10 point dinner but then had a pint when I was playing pool. I am also going to WI 1 day early. Its my sisters birthday on Friday and we will be going out for dinner so I would rather WI 1 day early and have 8 days to rectify

I was hoping to get back down to my goal for Christmas eve. I am still aiming for it so 4.5lbs for me. Irene - 4lb Old before I Die - 3lb MiniMimi2091 8lbs TRISTAR - 6lbs honeykiss - 5 lbs Puggso_32 - 4lbs Manny - 4.5lbs

Todays lunch was granary bread with ham, tomato and Mozarella 10points

Well I managed to lose 1/2lb this week. Considering I had a terrible food weekend last weekend I am pretty happy about it. This weekend I have been better. Still over points on Saturday but it is my treat day. Rach, dunno the name of the dish but it was on take on the takeaway. So Pasta...

I have it as 4 for the bread and 1 per portion of cheese so that would be 2. Also any sauce would add to it

I give up, either that or all the women on here have a secret crush on JEdward :D

Well tonight I am going to make a pasta dish that I saw on TV last night and I have pointed it today at 12 leaving me 9 points for lunch. I have went 2 points over that but I think I will settle for that considering the week I have had trying to save points. I think being 2 points over for the...

No one else sees it The one on the left

Well yesterday was granary sandwich with Turkey and Ham 9 points and then turkey and veg for dinner 8 points. 21 points available for today

Thanks Rach, 19 points per day would have me on target so I will try my best. Mums for dinner tonight for Chicken and a mountain of veg so I should be able to catch up with points today.

Is it just me or does that Robert Pattison guy not look like those JEdward fools from xfactor

As a guy I have to say it was a terrible film. It made no sense whatsoever. The number of times I had to ask my wife a question about it. Also I have no wish to see men walking about with no shirt on.

Just realised my calcs have been wrong. My spreadsheet was using the old formula when I had 27 points and not 26 per day. If I have no more food after dinner then I have 39 points over 2 days. Well I have learnt my lesson from weekend binges

Granary bread with Turkay and Ham for lunch today - 9 points Chicken and King Prawn Tikka Masala with rice - 11 points Leaves me a couple of points and still save 4

Well Yesterday I had 15.5 points. I know this is realy low, however I was straight out to the football after work and only had time for a quick ready meal. I can have 22 points per day now and be within my weekly total. I think I will need everyone of them today as I am starving

Well dinner last night was 14.5 points so I managed to claw 7 pack from the weekend. Need to have a big lunch today as I have Football tonight so no time for dinner

I weigh myself every single day. I only count my WI date but it lets me see the progress for the week

Well just out the dentist and had a TLC mince and potatoes for lunch (3.5 points), will have 2 ricecakes (1 point) and that leaves me 15.5 points for dinner. Also might have worked up some AP but I don't really count them as it was walking from the car to the dentist and back

Well now that the online eating guide is back up and running it would appear that my weekend eating has been 90 points for the 2 days. Looks like I will need to be around 20 points per day to catchup. Damn those delicious Burgers, Pizza and Chinese

Yes the password seems to have been removed. Now the bad part is I can point my crazy weekend eating :(

Hi all, Weekend was ok, nothing out of the normal. Friday I used up all the points I had saved for the week by going overboard will the budweisers. However I still lost 1lb last week so I suppose that was something. Saturday took Lucas to his football practise and then went out for lunch...

I know at some point she was emailing it to people as an excel spreadsheet. Don't suppose anyone has this?

Ha ha I joined too thinking that I would get on. Gutted

I have been all over the t'interweb trying to find the password but so far no luck. I will just have to bother Rach for the points

Cheers, I will strive for 30s but to be honest I don't think it will happen. Tried a pair on when I was at my lightest and couldn't get them over my thighs

Well done in getting down to 29.8, it is an achievment. I thought I was doing well getting down to a 32inch waist

Dude a 28inch waist. That's pretty small even for a guy at 5'2

Na I just used it alot

I have worked it out at around 1.5 points per bottle or 5.5 for 4 bottles :D

TLC Chicken hotpot for lunch at 4.5 points. If my calcs are right then 4 x Magners light will be 5.5. I am having sausages with carrot and swede mash for dinner but I haven't worked out the points yet. WI is tomorrow, I am hoping to have lost another 2lbs but would be happy with 1.

I am having a couple of ciders tonight but I bought Magners light, any idea of the points. It says 92 cals per bottle

Arghh has the great online eating out guide became password protected?

Well I had a 17 point dinner. So 21 points yesterday. I am well and truelly under my points for the week. I am going to have a couple of beers tonight

Yes they are lower on the packet. Well its been a hectic day which is why I am only posting now. Last nights dinner was homemade bread hot chicken fillets also had some oven chips a total of 15 points, making it 20.5 for the day. Today has been a total right off, so far I have had 4...

400g they are. Slightly bigger than a WW meal but seems more filling. The only thing I would say is that the points on the packaging are not the same as what I work them out as. They are probably right but I wold rather use what I work it out as so that I am being consistent.

I seem to be a muncher this afternoon. 3 x Milkybar moments which I have valued at 1 points. Its 5 points per 1/4 bag

Today lunch is TLC Minced Beef & Potatoes. 3.5 points so thats a bonus. Tesco has just opened up round the corner from my work so thats why I am having these TLC meals. They are pretty good Also had 2 Salt and vinegar Ricecakes which is another point

Hi Rach, hope you are ok.

Thanks Rach, I hope so. Yesterday had a 11.5 point dinner. So total of 17.5 points. So I am now 5 points under for the week (I think). This will allow for having a couple of beers on Friday night

Well todays lunch is a TLC Chicken hotpot. On the packaging it says 4 points but after calculations I am going to count it as 4.5. I am also having snack a jacks. Thats leaves me 15.5 for dinner and thats me back to a level playing field with my points

I calculated the pizza at 17 points which leave me 7 points over for Yesterday and 4.5 points over for the week so far. I will make some back as I am going to avoid the supersandwich today and I am going to have a quorn chicken curry for dinner

Sandy, well done on losing another 2lbs.

Well done Rach.

Helen you make the subway Tuna sound appealing, you should work for there marketing :D Thanks Sandy, they are magic. Anyway, Susan is still not feeling great and wanted a Pizza for dinner so given that I didn't have a treat dinner over the weekend I went for it. It was a diMaggios pizza so...

Well today has seen the return of the 16 point sandwich. I think this will be the last for a while.

WI was on Saturday. I managed to lose 3 lbs so pretty chuffed about that. Tiring weekend, Susan was ill so I had to entertain the boys myself for 2 days, it was fun though. On the subway note, Jalapenos are the best bit. The last time I had a subway I was really let down by it. I wouldn't...

13.5 point sandwich, still worth every point

Peanut butter is the devils work. 23 points yesterday. Planning on having the supersandwich today for 16 points and then another low point dinner, suppose I could use half the brie and save a further 3.5 points for tonights dinner

Wispa Gold only for me, I am not a fan of normal wispa's. It is either that or a Kit Kat chunky caramel

Modified todays sandwich and didn't have brie so it was only a 9 pointer. Dinner is only going to be 8 points, so I might manage to eat the whole wispa gold tonight

The sandwich was awesome. A sandwich Baguette (which I valued at 5 points), 100g ham (2points), 80g Turkey (2 points), 70g Brie (7 points). I might have overestimated with the baguette and the turkey. Dinner was chicken and veg and 1/2 wispa gold, so yesterday points were 24.5 so every day I...

Make that 17.5, I am also having BBQ snack a jacks

Just had my lunch, 16 points but it was worth every one. Sandwich baguette with ham, turkey and brie

Yeah back in July, was a great time

On a side note. In Scotland we don't have year 12 and year 8, so what ages are they?

Thanks everyone, Made myself pork and veg stir fry with ramen noodles for dinner. 12.5 points if I have worked out correct, so still a bit under for today. I will try and keep this more updaed than before and actually post on other diaries

I actually lol'ed

Lunch today was Baxters Lentil and Veg soup 2.5 points Eat Smart Chicken cheesy pasta meal 6 points. That leaves me 17.5 points for dinner, I suspect I will be carrying some points again tomorrow

Well first day back went well. Only used up 19 of my 26 points though, so will need to plan better. No doubt I will be back on here in a few days moaning about eating too many points

Well done on the loss. As for the rest I have no idea what you are talking about :D

Hey dude, Posting on your diary for the first time. Its always good to see that there are other guys doing WW and have the balls to post. I am sure you will do well this week with the willpower you have. As for the lunch thing, some people just can't pass up free stuff

Thanks, I feel better already, I think the structure is something I find easier. If I have something to base my eating round then I find it easier than eating and then wondering how many calories/points/syns/checks (think I have covered them all) that was

Hello everyone, Today I am restarting. I have slowly been adding the lbs back on and over the last couple of weeks have been trying to control my eating but I think it is time to get back on the bus. I am 9lbs above my target and 12lbs heavier than August so I feel I better do something now...

Just to clear this up, I am not having a go at her at all. I think she looks fantastic but she is the one that wants to do something. Just wanted to clear that up

I'm already lagging behind on the posting front. Happy to say that eating 5 days worth of points wasn't so bad and I STS. Hopefully will manage to lose something this week. Wife is still a non starter with the weight. Think she will be ok when she goe back to work in October

Let me think about that...nah

Thanks. I dunno what it is but my head isn't really in it this week. After all that eating on Monday I never had anything until tuesday evening and then nothing again until last night. I know it won't help. Think I need a holiday :D

I have tried to cut back but I am finding it difficult this week. Wife is stressed at the moment. Potty training for Lucas, Tyler has teeth coming in, everyone has the cold

Hey all, I am needing to get back on track so I will start posting again. I had a blip on Monday night and ate the equivelent of 5 days food.

I am on maintainence points of 32 which is more than 50% more points than my wife can have. However, I am taller, heavier and more active than she is.

I know points might not be long term but surely portion control is? If you have a huge appetite and manage to lose 50lbs but still have a huge appetite then its not really going to help

I have found that if I plan my meals for the next day (with a little margin for change) then having a 6 point brekkie won't be too bad. I find it hardest when I don't know how many points I will be having per meal as this leads me to have little amounts during the day and end up binging in the...

Part of my wife's gripe is about the fact that you need to point fruit.

Well the first diet I ever done was SW. This was done to support my wife. I lost about 2 1/2 stone but the difficult factor was the organising involved with SW (at the time). I then done the W8 diet. I was looking for something to loose weight quickly and a VLCD seemed like a good plan. I...

Hope you feel better, must have been some night to have a 4 day hangover :D

Was it something I said :D

Thanks for answering. I am just interested in what make people change diet. I know I have now in my life done 3 diets. 2 have been based on helping my wife and 1 was my choice. I have never had the inclination to change so can't really understand it

can I ask why you moved from SW in the first place?

Thanks for replying. I am not saying it is always a bad thing. Calorie counting may well be the route that I will go in the end but then I would have to decide how I wanted my calories made up (30% protein, 40% Fat, 30% carbs)

lol

Lindsay, How long were you on SW?

Recently there seems to be many people changing from WW to SW and vice versa. I was wondering what the reason for this were?

Well that's me back at my goal weight. The diet start proparly this week though. I will be maintaining but mainly helping my wife

Ha ha, the wife asked if she could wait until next week to start again

No I managed my tan on my head using factor 50 but thanks for caring :D

Hello everyone, That's me back at work. Holiday was amazing, it is the 5th time I have been but the first time I have had my own children and there were so many different things to enjoy. As predicted I have added a few pounds but I am sure I will have them off in no time. I will try and...

Pickup the new car today, proper family car, not a coupe :wave_cry:

Well yesterday I had my final holiday weigh in. I weighed in at 157.5lbs. So I have a good few pounds to play with.

Well I moved from a VLCD and slowly introduced carbs. I still watch my carb intake

Yeah we were looking to get a new car that was easier to get the kids, buggy and everything else in. I wanted to keep mine and trade in hers but now it looks like that won't happen

You don't have to keep using WW but you will need to do something. I had been maintaning for about 2. The first month I pointed and the 2nd I didn't. On the 2nd month I sneaked a few lbs back on.

Looks like I am going to have to get rid of my car :cry: failed it's MOT and will cost over £600 to get it fixed.

Yes I know the exact diet and if you send me 6 monthly payments of £29.99 I will forward it to you :p

Thanks, This is the first time I have been with children so they better not ruin it for me

** sighs and shakes head ** Am I going to have to have this discussion again about women and their diet changes :D

Hello people, I know its a bit late in the week but I have been ill so not had the chance to post. Also not counting my weight this week as I am sure it will be a false reading. Only 7 more days and I will be in the Florida thunderstorms

Hang on, I don't come on for a couple of days and now I am confused to what diet you are on???

You have done really well and I am sure you will be back to where you want to be in no time. If Florida is anything like the times I have been before then I will have to lose about 12-15lbs when I come back

Take that, never heard of them

Yeah if I manage to lose another 2lbs then I will be 4 below target. As I am in "weight lose mode" at the moment I thought it would be easier to lose it now than when I come back.

15th-21st June Nannis- 1 (STS) bobwillbethin - Manny- 2 (1/2lb lost) 21lbs to go1 - Gabrielle27 - Baloo -2 PinksW- GalaxyD-2 Madferret-

Another 1/2lb gone on Saturday. 17 days until holiday time. Can I lose 2lbs in that time?

My wife totally loves the tigger suit. She has bought it for both the boys and gets it in every size.

I just cut back to 26 points. I have also cut back on carbs. I will stay on 26 points until I am go on holiday

I lost 4lbs on Saturday so 2 points for me.

Wi was Saturday and I managed to lose 4lbs so I am happy with that, puts me back to below my goal weight. Just don't pig out now and I will be good

Thanks you both. Restart has been good and should have got rid of the extra squatters but I will stick on it for another week. Rosie, I don't know what you mean :D

I have to do 10 x 40m sprints (and walk back) for a warm up at training. I still have sore legs the next day and I have been doing it twice a week for about 8 weeks Glad you are back on maintenance, you have done really well

I didn't think it would be an easy decision for you. However I am curious to know why after losing 180lbs and stating that you think WW is the best diet you would go to something else. I am not saying what you are doing is wrong and I have done both of these diets. They do teach you...

Sorry I have been rubbish at taken part recently. I had managed to stay either at or below target for the last month or so but I have sneaked a couple of pounds on over the last week so I am back on it and will keep it updated.

This reminds me off the post I made a few months ago about women and diets ...:D Good luck Sandy, I hope it works for you

Hi all, It's been a few weeks since I have posted but work has been mad busy. Anyway I am back on the diet. I have sneaked a few pounds on so I am cutting back to 26 points for the week and take it from there. Nothing much else to report really, children are fine, wife is still numb.

Managed to STS this week so happy with that. Yesterday had a BBQ binge though and a couple of beers to celebrate

I know its not exact but here is another way to look at it. 20 points = 1320 cals. Lets say on a day you eat 8g of sat fat. 8g Sat fat = 2 points. Meaning 18 points = 1188cals I would expect you calories to be between 1100 - 1400 to stay within your points

How many points do you get?

I am now on my soapbox about this. I took this quote from a "pro" ehpedrine site Initially, most people will experience typical minor side effects with EC. These effects are dose-dependent and are dramatically reduced with continued use. One study found a 90% reduction in side effects after...

If she is getting them from the UK then it is likely to be a milder version (diluted so to speak). Common products contain about 25mg per tablet. I would be more concerned about where she gets them. If you googled ephedrine, then you would read all the horror stories about it. If she has been...

Most diet pills will contain the natural form of ephadrine. Is a stimulant/appetite suppressant. it increases your heart rate, so can be dangerous if over used. I would recommend you stay well clear of it. I previously worked with a guy who had them shipped from the US (until they banned...

Just to confuse matters my WI is from Saturday

Good luck with your WI

Hi to all the newbie's. I am rubbish at updating but I will try harder. 1lb lost for me, I know I should be trying to STS so I am re-doing my points this week to try

Hello, Managed to lose another lb so I need to re adjust my points (add another couple on) to try and find the happy medium. Apart from that all is well, not getting as much sleep as I would like but thats the joy of children

I am not obsessed about my weight (much). I am going to Florida and I know that portions will be huge and as much as I would love to eat cereals and fruit and the likes. However I know after a couple of days I will be eating buffet breakfasts and burgers and stuff like that.

I lost 1lb last week so 2 points for me, although I am confused. I now WI on a Saturday so do we go Monday - Sunday?

This weeks update- Although I have successfully managed to STS for the last few weeks, I decided to drop my points to 26 for last week (think it is all in my head) and I managed to lose 1lb. I go on holiday in 8 1/2 weeks so don't know if I should try and get my weight down before I go?

I have STS so 2 points from me. Also I was still under goal week last week so don't know why my points didn't count :( Nannis-2 bobwillbethin - Manny- 2 21lbs to go1 - Liveinhope- Curvysam - JaxieD- Gabrielle27 - Lumpyroo- Baloo -

You know you are not updating enough when you have to go to page 5 to get your diary. Well another STS for me, I am pretty chuffed about it. My diet has been within my points but really fatty so I am going to try and change that this week.

You have just made that up

Do you only track points on a daily basis?

I was just wondering how people kept track of how many points they have had per day and if they kept track of the amount of points they have had in a week? I am a geek and use a spreadsheet to keep track per day/week/month

Eh yes, I mean no, well maybe

Time for me to peep up again. This is going to sound bad and I don't mean it to be so please no-one take offense to it. Saraian, If your oh has decided this is the diet for him there will be very little that will change his mind. **Here come's the bad bit** Men (my opinion being one) will...

WI this morning, not really sure how to point this for the team. I gained 1/2lb but I am still under my goal weight

As a guy who has done both here is my 2p worth. I found that weightloss was much quicker with SW than with WW. I would lost 7lbs every 2 weeks consistently for the 3 months I done it. I do however find WW easier to control as a diet. I have said this a couple of times before that you...

Thanks. Well WI today and I gained 1/2lb so not all bad. I am still under goal weight. Think my daily points will be about 30 to maintain

I think I will just about manage a STS this week. As I weigh myself everyday anyway. Got to say though, the 54 points were worth it :D

Sorry I have been rubbish at updating. I lost last week and the week before. I am below target so shouldn't have lost last week but I am still trying to find a comfort zone. I WI again tomorrow so I will update for this week. Sorry again team

Hello all, I am back on diet for a couple of days and on here for inspiration. I had a massive blowout on Saturday. My points total for the day was 54. It wasn't even a special occasion. So I am cutting my points back to 22 for the next 3 days to hopefully limit the damage

Hi Everyone, Soryy I haven't been around much the last week. With it being Easter I got a couple of days off work so it was family time. First week of maintenance went well, had ups and downs as you can imagine and I am still trying to find a good amount of points. I feel 32 points is a...

Thanks Rosie, after the last few weeks of not losing much I was pretty surprised and it was a comfortable 2-1 win :sigh: Thanks Thanks you Can you tell I have just learned how to multi quote

I am not going to get anyone an easter egg now, a nice fruit basket instead :D

Am I reading this right Cadbury's Creme Egg with 6 mini eggs 81 81 Points??

Thanks :D

Thanks

GOAL Well 1lb under actually:D

Seems I am lagging behind on the updates. Lost 1.5lbs last week so i have added mine Nannis- 2 bobwillbethin - Manny- 2 21lbs to go1 - 2 lauramumof2 - Lozbo- Liveinhope-2 Curvysam - 2 Total: 10 points
