Good luck!! I was wishing god hadn't invented wine, chocolate and crisps. Then I would be a size 8!!!!!

chelle86, I was totally the same as you I didn't want to go to the gym on my own and had no one to go with, and in that respect working out with a trainer is awesome!!!! Now I am quite happy to go on my own because I have that little bit of confidence and I have discovered, the gym isn't just...

Good morning everyone! Just thought I would pop in and say hi as I have decided that today is going to be a good day!!! I will be the perfect WW follower, I will go to the gym straight after work and I will lose weight tonight at my weigh in :) Hope you all have a lovely day

Sorry things have been mad with work!!!! Lost 1lb last week and hopefully another couple this week (i weigh in tomorrow) This week ahas been absolutely crazy but on the upside it means I haven't really had time to think about food or eating anything naughty!!! So hopefully this week I will...

me too arggghh!!!

Went to supermarket today and must have looked crazy walking up and down the crisp aisle!! Anyway ended up going for walkers french fries, they are less than 5% fat. Thanks for all the advice!

that is fab thanks :) I will go investigate further!!

Hi, I am just going to be starting out using Alli the slightly less potent version of xenical. I am following weight watchers just now, but I am very aware of the need to avoid high fat foods. I like to have a packet of crisps with my tea at 11, I was just wondering if anyone knows if low...

Hi there, I really wouldn't trust what the people in marks and spencer say. I went there to get measured and they told me I was a 38 G. I bought a bra but never really felt like it fitted. So went to a local shop where the lovely lady there took one look laughed and told me I was more like...

You really need to try and find a diet that works for you. I have tried both cambridge and I am now doing weight watchers. I am so sorry that this is a bit of a non answer, but different diets work for different people. You need to look into the different diets out there and see what one...

cheers, will give it a go for a month see if anything happens, but i think you may be right, the threat of side effects may be just what i need to keep me on the straight and narrow!!!

Evening everyone, I have just ordered a months supply of Alli, the new over the counter version of Xenical (orlistat). I am just wondering if anyone has tried using either alli or xenical with the WW plan??? I know that if you eat too much fat there can be some rather nasty side effects.

ooh thank you, 4 points by the looks of things!!!!

i will def ask him, about it. If you enjoy it you should get back to it!!!!! I dread going but always really enjoy it once i am there. And love the feeling that i have had a hard work out, i always sleep better after a workout!!!

cheers, that is great. Working out with a personal trainer just now and doing quite a variety of different things but haven't tried interval training. Was wondering about curves as there is one close to work which would mean i could go at lunch time but if there are no showers then that is...

yeah the reebok one is pretty much the same as the LTT (my friend has one) It goes from side to side as well as up and down.

i certainly feel like i have done a workout after using my stepper, usually i just use it when eastenders etc come on for like half an hour and you def feel it in your legs. you can also use the hand things too but i don't have the coordination for that.

anyone??? really want to have a wee treat but need to know how many points i have to spend

i have a reebok stepper it is good but i don't think it is any smaller than the lateral thigh trainer!!!

Ok can somebody please help me work out. Was at the gym this morning, I did 30 mins cardio (at full tilt very out of breath) 15mins core work and 30mins weight training. Can anyone tell me how many points I have earned??

it def gets easier, you will get to know the points of your favourite things and that will save you loads of time!!!

Well done Rach and Fuzzyella :)

Hi there, good luck!!! Hope all goes well for you, we are all here if you need any help!

Congratulations!!!!

Thanks, just wasn't sure what the difference between curves and other gyms. Do you feel like you have had a good workout afterwards???

ooh yes custard creams

caramels coke cava

thanks, you should totally go tomorrow. You can always change to your local class when you are ready!!! if you need any thing just shout, good luck!

I did cambridge for a while and lost a couple of stone, you are right it is fairly easy to do at home but it is really difficult to have any kind of social life. After I stopped doing CD (had to becuase of a medical condition) I just went right back to old habbits. So now doing WW and...

I am doing ok today, the only thing that is doing my head in is that I REALLY want to go to Baskin Robbins and get some ice cream but i know i can't just stop at one scoop so having to go without :(

doctors scales don't have to be accurate, my doctors scales made me 2kg heavier than both the ones at the gym and at my house!!! As said before the weight isn't actually important it is the loss that you want to worry about!

Happy Birthday!!! Just think how amazing you will look and feel by next birthday :)

Very true, I don't envy them that part of being a celeb!!!

Meant to say, can you not just make your meal and give him a bigger portion??? If him eating cheese etc is a problem then talk to him about it and explain it is difficult for you!!

A lot of the super markets have special offers on on fruit and veg just now, so just keep an eye out on tv ads etc for what is cheap. If you find something you like that is on special buy it and cook it then freeze it in individual portions. The fresh food is just as good for you if you...

Sounds like a plan!!!

I guess it is whether or not she feels comfortable at that size and if she wasn't eating anything then can't be good!!!

Stick, to your points and the gym and I am sure you will look amazing for your hol in Nov. I know it will be scary to eat 3 meals a day but remember that with WW you could always have 4 or 5 small meals if that is easier?

ooh it does look good :)

Crikey it is scary, but in a weird way it is nice to see that they are human and struggle the same as us.

Hey guys, good luck with the diet. I tried cambridge but have been diagnosed with a heart problem so had to stop :( I am trying to lose 3 st on WW but if you still need a buddy then I am up for that :)

Right then, No excuses, we WILL be the biggest losers on the site and will stick to it till we get to goal!

Cheers, all signed up!!! Heres hoping it all goes well!

Can i join you guys?? Hoping to head to Italy the first week in August would love to have lost 2 stone by then!!! So here goes. Anna - 0lbs off - 28lbs to go Deana (kdma) - 0lbs off- 28lbs to go Sharon (sortingoutmylife) - 0lbs off - 16lbs to go Calorie Crusader - 0lbs off - 18lbs to go...

ooh yeah that sounds like a plan!!! Any idea where i can find the post for the 16 week challenge???

Absolutely, you are so right, I am so fed up of looking at all my clothes and not feeling good in anything! Just want to go out and have fun and not feel like the fat friend anymore!!! You and me both in a month we will be well on the way to being skinny!! I see you are trying to lose...

def not, have your full points allowance!!!!

I hope it is going to be worth it. The problem is I have no motivation to do anything just now. Used to dance and play basketball but feel very fat and frumpy just now so don't want to do anything. Really need someone to yell at me and tell me to work, hence the personal trainer. Also...

Hey there, not sure if you have booked but I booked mine independantly from expedia. Stayed in the holiday inn at disney and it was gorgeous (the my travellers hotel is also nice!) It was an amazing holiday.

Hi there, I go to a regular gym but the idea of being able to do a full workout in half an hour. What exactly do you do in the workout? How hard do you work?

sorry no idea :(

Good luck :)

Well said :)

hmmmm, not sure i think what you are doing is fairly sensible reintroducing carbs slowly. I think that if you stick with the weight watchers plan, you may see an increase in your weight for a couple of weeks but your body will soon get used to it and you will be back on track in no time!!!

hi there welcome to minimins

So been doing this for a week now, a little disappointed at the lack of a loss but I know my body has always been a slow starter, so hopefully a big loss next week! I have paid to work out with a personal trainer twice a week in an effort to help things along a wee bit. Had my first session...

Yes thanks, been enjoying reading everyones posts on there too!

Well I have almost reached the end of my first week. On the food front, Until today I think I have done fairly well. I have eaten well even managed to go to a wedding on sat and at least eat within my points (the drink pushed me more than slightly over the limit:break_diet:) I have been...

Ah excellent, well in the mean time I will get posting and try to get to 50:)

hey that is great, not sure i can send and recieve pm's though???

thanks for letting me know!!!

Cheers thanks

Hi there, I hear, you may be doing weight watchers in Aberdeen?? I am just starting out looking for people in aberdeen who are doing WW

Thanks!

I have used them at the gym, it certainly makes you feel like you have worked out. However, sometimes it makes you need to loo (TMI - sorry)

I agree with the above post, they do tone your abs but if you can't see the abs for the fat then you won't see the difference. I have however heard that it does help prevent saggy skin as you lose weight.

hey there, i am a little confused, i used the heart rate calculator above but according to that my resting heart rate is in the optimum training range??? When i do any exercise (even walking) my heart rate is way above that level?? DOes that mean it isn't doing me any good??

Tesco snack selection, skips,frazzles,wotsits and quavers (well the tesco versions) ranging from 1.5 to 2 points and very tasty. Only £1.69 for 16 packs

don't do it!!!! Really not nice!!

Hey there, just wanted to say hi and well done for getting back on the diet horse. I have had trouble with ovarian cysts but don't have a diagnosis of pcos. So I have a fair idea of what you are going through. Good luck with it all!!!

I think sky 2 are working there way through them all on weekdays at 12noon!!!

I like the rosemary connelly salsercise one. Def didn't like the dirty dancing one. Hope that helps :)

I find next clothes are pretty close to the size guide they give on their website. I also have the problem of having big hips and bum and a small waist which can make finding clothes that fit confusing.

Hey there, just starting out is there anyone else in Aberdeen out there?

I am def on the filthy muck side, really can't stand the stuff!!! Oooh yuck just htinking about it!!!

Hi I would love to join a team if there are any spaces!!

Thanks :)

I am so glad you guys found that, think it is about the only thing in the world I can't live without!!!

Thanks!!!

Does anyone know how many points there are in a scoop of Baskin Robbins Rainbow sherbert? The claim it is low fat but can't find any nutritional info on it??

I guess like so many people before me, I have tried every diet under the sun but here I am starting out with weightwatchers. Want to try and lose 3 stone by my birthday in October. Just wanted to say hi!
