You poor thing, I hate when you go to bed feeling hungry, it doesn't inspire you to stick to your diet! :( Maybe try a Chromium supplement, i take it and feel it helps as long as you take it regularly you can buy it in the vitamin section of most supermarkets or health food shops x FYI below...

I suppose you need to try different combinations of food to find what's best for you. I find if I have porridge for breakfast I feel hungrier than if I have, say a one egg omlette with mushrooms or ham but then it's not massively practical to have a cooked breakfast unless you get up really...

I really struggle with portion sizes and have completely lost touch with my 'full' signals and hardly ever feel full anymore so one of the best tricks I have is making a zero point soup and having it as a starter before my meal. I think that works because it means I take longer from start to...

Maybe, thats all the had though so I got them, wanted to make some for tomorrow but don't think I will use the apple, will just go somewhere else to get some dried pear rather than risk it!

Hello Please help, I have the Weight Watchers 'book of recipes' and there is a recipe on page 9 called Oaty Fruit Biscuits and it uses 120g dried pears, chopped. It's 1pp per portion. I couldn't get dried pears so I got whitworths sweetened dried apple instead and wanted to check it...

Hey Catkins!!! Welcome, I started this week too and am in a similar situation at the heaviest I have ever been (nearly 17 stone), my long term aim is also to have babies! I was also about 10 and a half to 11 stone when I was about 18 but thought I was massive. Can't believe it now! Look back...

Hooray! Well done you - I started this week too. Have started a food diary and enjoyed lots of lovely food over the last two days.

Ps, any suggestions of a nice treat to bump up my points?

Oooooo thanks for all the Hello's! Looking forward to sharing success stories with other newbies :) I am feeling a bit confused today, had a breakfast omelette again, plus beans on toast again and another stir fry for tea plus fruit and some ww tortilla chips and so far I am only on 24...

Hello Everyone! I started Weight Watchers pro points yesterday, a bad day to start as I had a friend over for tea and wine - a long standing arrangement! However I was AMAZED! Had an omelette (with bacon medallions and mushrooms) for breakfast, beans on ww toast for lunch and then cooked a...

Hurrah for you! Well done! What a result. I am going to stick to it this week! Had a bad weekend (again!). I will be strong! You have spurred me on! I have like 6 stone to lose and go to Florida in June so hoping to shift at least 2 by then!!!

Yes, you are all right of course. I just need to face it that I cannot drink and diet at the same time. The minute I have a drink my will power goes and I start eating crap and then eat more crap to get over my hangover. Diet sucess = no booze, what a shame I do so like a drink! Thanks for...

Oh dear, let me tell you a story it goes like this... Chocolate, champagne, macdonalds, eggs on toast g'n't, fajitas, chocolate eclaire, beer.... need I go on.... I was doing very well! Had got one whole weekend out the way without failing and then there was saturday.... and today.... OMG...

Hello I am onto my second week of DC, lost 4 pounds in the first week and really enjoying it, plus have not felt especially hungry and so have not struggled to stick with it! If I go on like this I would definately advocate it!!! Really enjoying doing it as I like feeling healthy and like I...

Well done for your saintly behaviour in Costa, I think next weekend will be a heavy one for me, it's my friends Birthday so have promised so have bought lots of champagne and will probably do the same as you and eat my way out of the probable hangover! Well done for just getting back on it...

So I managed to survive the weekend, had an epic diet fail on Friday night - ordered 'Grilled Seabass with a touch of lemon' and it turned out to be a lemon butter sauce! Gah!!! Then ordered a side of courgette and they turned up deep fried!! GAH! :( On the plus side I did stick to it for the...

Well today is day 4 for me and yesterday I really stuggled to eat everything. I was feeling under the weather and didn't have any lunch so had a breakfast museli bar in the afternoon instead (very yummy!). I had mushroom stroganoff for tea - lush! I have had my porridge so far today and going...

No problem! I was late for work as I went through three times to get a certain meal and couldn't find it, thats why I realised and then when I did check I was missing five meals :( They where super helpful through and put through the order FOC x

Hello I checked my hamper and I was missing 5 meals x Called customer service and they where super helpful and will send them out FOC but thought I should let you know. Don't forget to check your hampers x

I found I was mega full too, yesterday was my first day! Fingers crossed it stays that way! I am supplementing the 1200kcal hamper to make it up to the 1509kcals my personal profile says. Stuggled to meet that yesterday! I don't want to do less as I would prefer to be able to drop my calories...

Okay so maddness! Couldn't eat another thing yesterday and really struggled to meet my 1509 Kcals my personal profile said I need each day. I was at 1343 kcals but didn't count my 120ml milk with porridge, think thats only about 60 kcals though... Have added rice to my dinner today to bump up...

Hurrah! Nice to hear from others who have also embarked on the journey!! So far so good - supplemented my meals with an apple, nakd bar, clementime, side salad and two ryvita. Still have some popcorn a banana and soup for tea to go! Will be well within my 15000 kcals! Feeling stuffed at...

PS - sorry - very confused! I thought I had replied to the sticky but started a new thread instead, duh!

Hello Everyone I started Diet Chef today - have ordered the 1200 kcal hamper and as I have 6 stone to lose I am starting with supplementing it up to 1500 kcal per day - had my porridge and a clementime so far. Have a 14 hour day today as doing a part time degree and will go straight from work...

Ok so have slept on it and feeling a lot better today, was panicking becuase this time last time round the weight was beginning to come off (hence obsession with scales!). I have to admit I have weighed myself this morning and I am.... still.............15.6. Decided that the snacking has to...

Hello Hello Everybody, I haven't been on since 30th April, mainly because I completely gave up and had a complete crash and burn. Put on about half a stone. Got a wedding to go to in August so trying to climb back on the diet wagon to get myself feeling slim and gorgeous by the time I go...

Hey Barbara, You can still buy the 7 day trial pack if you use this link Go Lower. I bought mine the week before last x H x

It started with an easter egg....... I ate half an easter egg yesterday. I felt so bad about it that I had to have 4 gin and tonics to make me feel better. Whoops. This morning I have a headache :wave_cry: Oh dear :sigh: Anyway - climbing back on the bandwagon today - determined to be extra...

Hurrah! First weigh day and I have lost 8 pounds! Whoopee! Feeling good - although missed lunch as I was out car shopping (v.exciting!) and by the time I got home at 5pm I felt awful (even though I had a chocolate nut bar about 3). No skipping meals and go lower for Helen..... :wave_cry...

Glad you feel better today Bev x I am on day five, yesterday I felt ace, woke up full of energy and today I still feel great x Shame about the granola but no point trying to force yourself. I am the same with the pea and ham soup - yuck! Can't bring myself to eat it but know if I don't I am...

Hey Karen, Don't worry - I know from previous diet experience that sometimes it's just hard to get back into the groove... Have a stress free and relaxing weekend (but don't go mad.. and get that start a diet on monday have to eat and drink everything in sight mentality) and then gear...

Felt soooooo hungry last night, finally sucumbed and had a peperami, figure this is fine as it's high protien but it does mean that aside from the normal food (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack) I also had 2 peperami and 4 babybel...... hope this will still be okay :confused: I have also had a...
