I can't believe how quickly time goes. It's just over 2 years since I posted!! I started a new journey in January this year and have slowly but surely lost almost 3 stone. I am not following any particualr diet but have really had a good look at what I eat and tend not to eat between meals...

I've had a mixed experience with Bravissimo. I left the shop wearing the bra they fitted me into as I felt it was that good but as others have said wearing it in the fitting room and wearing it in real life are two very different things. It was a balconette style and I found that it cut in...

Yes it was Sparkle that I meant :)

Hi There I am lurking ready for a restart in the new year. I was here briefly in the summer. I was wondering how the lady on the Isle of Wight is but I can't remember her name

Mine are 14 now but that picture was taken almost 2 years ago They are collies - is yours a smooth coat collie or something else? I can't quite tell from the picture

Just realised that I did the jealous smilie instead of :) I only saw it when it was yellow and thought it was a smile!

Hello and welcome :) Is that your dog in your avatar - looks so sweet

Halving the fat to get the Sat Fat is indeed what WW recommend if no Sat Fat is listed - just checked in the book :jelous:

I am here but has nothing good to report I'm afraid - I have been terrible.

Glad to hear you had a good weekend away - where did you go?

Errm in a word - Badly :o I started off okay but had a particularly bad morning at work and ended up having carvery at lunchtime which was all okay on Core except the roast potatoes!

I have confused myself wiith changing my weigh in day :o I started on Fri June 1st and had lost 5lbs by Fri June 8th. On Monday 11th I had gained 1llb and today (Mon 18th) I have stayed the same. So have I had 2 or 3 weigh ins :confused: Technically 3 I suppose but 2 very close together...

Core is where you eat 3 meals a day from a list of 'free foods' and have an optional weekly points allowance of 21. The free list contains things such as non-sugary cereal, skimmed milk, fruit (not dried), veg, most fish (not battered!), lean meats, jacket potatoes, cottage cheese, low fat...

This is what the Eating Out Guide says about Italian: Italian can be a great choice on the Core plan if you choose wisely. For starters, Minestrone soup (2 points) or Parma Ham with Melon (2 points) are good choices. And for your main course, Penne Arrabbiata (5.5 points) is delicious and...

Have been lurking for a while but am now back with a plan :) Have decided to switch to Core from tomorrow and change my weigh in day to Mondays instead of Fridays. Am also going to look for a ticker.

Thanks - I will give it a go :)

Oh hello I thought you might be :) Do you find that you use the weekly 21 points allowance?

I am thinking of starting Core on Monday after having a good week on points and then a week of messing about. I like the idea of not having to count and being able to eat from a 'free' list. How do the people that are on Core find it?

Wk 2 weigh in for me was 1lb ON but to be honest I'm surprised it wasn't more :o

If I am completely honest, no offence intended to anyone, I find the massive signatures a bit annoying - only because I have to scoll down half a page to read the next reply! However, I can see that the tickers and goals and things are beneficial to the members. I will look for a ticker.

Thank you Starlight

Just realised that I can look at the Galleries and PM - how exciting :D

We stay in Binstead in Ryde, close to Tesco in a bungalow that we rent so that we can take our dogs. I am an Administrator and earn £18k here but also have a degree in Statistics but found it very hard going so probably wouldn't like to have a job in that field. Do you have any jobs for me ;)...

Thank you - just realised that you live on the IOW - I love it there! Will be holidaying there later in the year - much later - November!! Didn't have a lot of cash when we booked and so were looking for a cheap week - cheap as it out of season - not as in IOW is cheap. We hope to move over...

Thanks Bethany

Just had a WW Chocolate Eclair - they are frozen and take 20 minutes to defrost. 1.5 points each

5 lbs off for me which I am really pleased with as I had a bit of a blip on Wednesday.

5 lbs off for me please :)

Do you or don't you? Should you? I'm not really a breakfast person but would force something down if I thought it would aid my weight loss.

I was quite bad last night but have decided to have 4 points less per day for the next 4 days to attempt to make up for it. I basically went 16 points over yesterday :o but I know where I went wrong and it was my decision to fall off the wagon so to speak so I only have myself to blame. I...

I think the main point is that it has to be crustless which in turn makes the points lower as there are no crusts

There is an advert in my Shopping Guide that says that WW are due to bring out a thick sliced wholemeal loaf that will be 1 point per slice. It may already be out by now.

Congrats on your loss I think WW doing different loaves so that may explain the difference?

Scales are great - they have a much larger platform than the WW ones which is good as my feet are big. They are also a lot more consistent when I move them around the room - although I will weigh in the same place from now on. I will still weigh in on Friday and use the weight that I was on...

Just carried 4 over. Scales have arrived but I haven't seen them yet as I am still at work. Got them for £44.88 inc P&P. Not sure what time I posted but I was up quite late/early with one of my dogs who had some teeth out yesterday. I didn't like the WW Brownies much :(

Well done so far and good luck on your journey :)

Congratulations Clair :)

Good luck at the doctors today

Good luck on your journey :)

Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow

I wil certainly give a full report on my new scales once they arrive. I have had another good day today and have 10 points left - I bought some WW brownies just now and I may carry some points over. I had a chicken shish kebab tonight which was lovely - eating out guide said 4 points but I...

The Boots in town doesn't have them - there are some in the toilet in the shopping centre though. I should be okay once my Salter scales arrive, which should be by Wednesday :)

Hi Jane Yes the 5 lb gain overnight was on the same scales in the same place (with the carpet feet on). I wasn't overly impressed that Babyliss make the WW scales - it's a brand that I would associate with curling tongs and hair straighteners more than weighing scales. I think Salter is a...

They sound nice - I like the Tunnocks Caramel Wafers - let us know what you think of them. Does Morrisons tend to be better than say Tesco for WW own products? - I have heard that Asda can be really good for WW stuff.

Thanks They should be here in 2 days - it looks like they will be a lot better just by looking at the picture as the feet are a lot wider than the WW ones.

Found the scales online at scales r us :D

Hmm - half a point over today but had 4 spare from yesterday so now have 3.5 in the bank so to speak. Have started using my Journal - was using a spare diary but thought I may as well make use of the Journal seeing as I have it. I got the £9.95 pack that has the journal, cardboard points...

I finally managed it - thank you :)

Finally managed to change the title of my thread - I was clicking the left not the right for all that time!! I am so glad that day one is complete - I didn't find it too hard going but that may be because I can have quite a lot of points at the moment. This was yesterday Apple 0.5 Tesco...

My WW scales are hilarious - they come with carpet feet and it says to use them for more accurate results when using the scales on carpet. I tried them today without the carpet feet to see what happens and I lost 9 stone :rotflmao:

That was how many I had had up until that post - I had 20 left for dinner and managed 16 so will carry 4 over - that's allowed I think. Thanks for the info re the scales - I will have a look. :)

Solero Exotic - 2 points

There weren't any scales at work in the end so I've still not resolved that issue. I have done okay so far and had 11 points leaving plenty for dinner, etc

I tried and failed to change my heading too:confused:

Hmm - I can't see the nurse until next Wednesday but I've had a brainwave. There is a gym at work and I think they may have some of those scales that you pay to weigh yourself on. I thought if weighed myself at 8am tomorrow morning when I get to work and then every Friday morning ongoing -...

I've gained 5 lbs over night on my new scales. I am thinking of returning them and getting weighed by the nurse at my doctors surgery. Just waiting for an appt - it will probably mean that I will only weigh in once a month though but that shouldn't be a problem should it?

LOL - just got all the packaging out of the bin too. I'll see how I go and if I have problems I'll return them as faulty (like if, for example, I don't lose any weight;))

Thank you

Oh dear - it's not too late for me to send them back. Can you recommend some good ones? A lot only go up to 20st but I need ones that go higher than that :sigh:

Yes the glass type ones - they were £45 but you can probably get them cheaper but I got them from my Freemans catalogue to take advantage of the Buy Now Pay January

Forgot to say Thank You for the welcomes and Good Luck wishes.

Got my scales today - have only worked out straighforward weighing so far but they appear to be able to calculate BMI, fat content and water content too. It looks like I am going to be allowed 31 points - unless I lose half a stone before my start date which is unlikely because it's Friday :)

Okay thanks - my weigh in day is Friday and I am aiming for 8lbs - they all say 'Aim for May' so far - it that a typo or am I missing something:confused:

I would like to join in but I'm not sure what my target should be:confused:

Best of Luck to you. I look forward to reading your diary:)

Marks and Spencer's Reduced Fat Prawn Cocktail 4 points for a 200g tub

Hi I am Hayley and I will be joining you on WW as of Friday. Why Friday? Well, firstly because it's the first of the month and secondly, because I have ordered my WW scales and they probably won't be here until then. I will be counting points rather than Core and have everything I need to...

Ooh hello you two:cupid::cupid:
