Thank you :) It's made me even more motivated

Hi and thanks for your messages...Kirsten, I'm doing weight watchers. if I were you I'd look into it. If you can't get to the meetings you can do it online :)

I don't go to the meetings, I'm just an online member. So unfortunately I know nothing about them! I'm sure you'll be fine! Good luck :)

Thanks!!!!

I've lost 7lbs!!! Really chuffed!! I even had a sneaky chinese friday evening!!!

First weigh in today and I've lost 7lbs!!! Very impressed as I did succumb to a chinese Friday night which my points didn't account for! Very happy :)

7lb loss for me this week! Yay! February Challenge Irene 4 lbs wantmybikinibody 6 lbs WK1-3lb Gerry 7lbs RecoveringChocaholic 6lbs -3lbs (3lbs to go) Crazybecky 5lbs vodaka999 8lbs wk1 - 4lbs Auburn 6lbs - Wk 1: +2lbs BazzMajor 7lbs Elkay 6lbs Busybee - 6lbs Puggso_32 - 5lb -1.5lb/3.5lb...

I'm quite glad I don't drink...more food! lol

I'm lucky that my fiance, although he is addicted, has managed to give up the junk too. Not that he needs to lose weight but because he wants to help me...I hold my hands up and say that the reason I'm like this is because I HAD no willpower!

I love convenience foods...Chinese takeaways, Indian takeaways, Pizzas...bad really but they do taste good! I try and think of al the bad things in them and tell myself how disgusted I am by the amount of fat or grease or something. I just try and focus on the bad!!! It works the majority of the...

Is there a food you simply can't resist even though you cannot fit it in to your points on particular days? :eek: Is there a day when it all gets too much and "give up" only to start again the following week?:break_diet: What makes it difficult for you? :sigh:

Thats probably very good advice and I will try and follow it :)

That makes sense I suppose. You're a hell of a lot smaller than me though! :( Argh! Anyway, i'm not going to feel down anymore. The more I do, the more reluctant I will be to cook a healthy meal, or get up and exercise...anyone agree?

It isn't just the odd day...it's a permanent feeling :( Is that not normal then? :S

Cheers Kally...I've sent a friend request :)

Thanks for all the support! I do love this place :) x

My weight is causing me to have horrible horrible thoughts about myself. I'm not depressed but I need someone to vent to, discuss recipes with, celebrate losses and commiserate over gains with... Give me a shout if you have facebook or msn so we can chat :) Starting WW today, again, after a...

I haven't been on a plane since I was a child but I certainly wont be going now until I'm happy with my weight!!! Scary stuff!

I want my fiance to be proud of me I want to be able to go into "normal" clothes shops and not depend on new look, simply be and evans I want to be able to do things with my friends without ending up all sweaty and embarrassed I want to wear skirts I want to turn heads I want to return...

Hey hey hey december challenge people...I'm going to go for a 7lb loss this month I think... I don't drink alcohol and I'm only going to "ignore" the diet christmas day itself so that shouldn't have too much of an impact if I keep my activity points high.... Fingers crossed! Irene - 4lb...

I lost 7lbs my first week which was of course amazing but everyone seemed shocked by it so it can't be average lol

You lot are so lovely...I'm going to try and reply individually to you all! :) Nettie - don't worry about it, honestly. I didn't think that. My reply was probably a bit frank :) Becky - that ww treats are something I haven't explored yet and I'm not too sure why?! I'll have to give them a go...

Oh my word...he knows how much I want it. I'm not blaming him in the slightest! I'm convincing myself I can fit things into my points when I evidently can't...weird eh? It's a psychological problem rather than a problem with the diet and its only me that can put it right. I've decided I'm...

Hi everyone!!! I need some help/advice if anyone has any! In the week I'm really good. Eat my points, sometimes save but never go over. Come the weekend I eat anything and everything just because my fiance does. I feel like I'm ruining my hard work all week but can't seem to stop myself...

Argh! Only a 1lb off again this week! But at least its off! :) Hope I get my target this month...I must lose 5lb by next Monday!!! Irene - 4lbs MiniMimi2091 - 10lbs -8lb gone - 2 to go! Smirky - 4lbs - 4lb gone - Reached target! - new target - 2lbs x89amandax - 5lbs Busybee - 7.5lbs - lost...

I don't alcohol either...My mum does ww and does loads of swimming (an hour a day) and if she doesn't use at least a third of her activity points her weight loss stops... I'm really confused!

I do a twenty min cardio walkout and walk for fifteen minutes a day and usually average at about 6 activity points. Should I be eating at least some of these? And if so how many?! Hope someone can help!

Wow, aren't you lot lovely!!!!! Well I'm the on the second day of week 2 and I'm struggling to eat all my points!!! Breakfast - 1.5 - cereal Lunch - 5 - ham sandwich Dinner - Pasta bake and chicken Any time - crisps And I still have 9.5 points left!!!! Lol! I really do feel I eat a lot...

Hi everyone! I'd really like to speak to people a little more on here...maybe on msn? Food ideas, motivation and everything would be good! my e-mail adress is here...feel free to add me :) [email protected]

We're a very similar weight so keep at it and the results will come :)

Thanks, I am...I'm hoping for something similar this week since I have such a lot to lose and I did pig out towards the end of last week... :)

Hi everybody! I've lost 7lbs this week! Am really pleased with it as it was my fiance's birthday at the weekend and I did pig out! Meals out, takeaways, cakes, drinks....so I couldn't have asked for anymore really!

My first WW WI and I have lost half a stone! A whole 7lbs! I'm convinced it would have been more but it was my fiance's birthday at the weekend so i've had meals out, takeaways, drinks....I'm a very happy bunny! Irene - 4lbs *Saski* - 4lbs - 1.5lbs lost - 2.5lbs to go! CatDor - 6lbs - 2lbs lost...

Thanks everybody! Monday seems a long way away now though and I have my fiance's birthday to cope with on Saturday but fingers crossed!

olivia1987uk - 14lbs I started Monday so am hoping for big losses at first :)

I know! Eeeek! So excited now! I'm officially in love with WW

Awwww aren't you lot lovely! I sneakily stepped on the scales earlier....I just couldn't resist. I've lost 8lbs since Monday! Lol, I'm not treating it as an official weigh in but its certainly very motivating!!!

Hi everyone...I'm Olivia, I'm 21 (nearly 22) and I signed up for weight watchers online yesterday... I have a hell of a lot to lose and felt that paying for weight watchers was that little bit more of an incentive to get this fat off! Just here for some support and maybe to swap recipes and...

thanks :) take my advice and don't weigh yourself everyday...some days you can put weight on and its so disheartening :)

Well done on getting your plan and your focus sorted...the fact thats in paper will help. Try printing it off and using a ticklist type of attitude so you know what to work towards :)

Well done on your loss...I'm much bigger and therefore expected to lose a lot of weight but as your smaller you must have worked so hard to get 6lbs off! Congratulations!

Cheers for the encouragement everyone!!! Just about to jump on my cross trainer ;)

thanks...noone else has replied! :( lol

Hey everyone... I have 8-10 stone to lose all in all... My first week of going to the gym and eating healthily and I have lost 7lbs! Feel really energetic too! Brilliant...am so pleased with myself and its really motivating!

comedy, romance, thrillers....i reckon we might have a few deals to make ;)

well rather than use a site like that...I'd rather do it personally. What kind of stuff do you read punkstarr? :) Let's hope we can swap :)

I think it varies from person to person though doesn't it. I carry the majority of my weight round the middle so would obviously make more of a difference... :)

Anybody fancy it? If anybody is genuinely interested just get in touch :)

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone :)

ANybody in the staffordshire area that's interested?

Hey hey hey! I have a lot of weight to lose and have recently joined a gym! It took a lot of courage but I've dropped a dress size in just three weeks and haven't been a saint in terms of what I've been eating! I do 15 mins on the bike as a warm up...then some stretches...then 10 mins on the...

Thanks everyone. I've given up on weighing myself weekly and I'm just going for monthly as with me going to the gym I'm building up muscle so it's not a true reflection... So excited to go the gym every time too...I've really got the bug. :)

By going to the gym a couple of times a week and cutting down on snacking and take aways I've managed to go from a size 22 to a 20 in three weeks! Very very pleased :) You can congratulate me now ;)

Thanks for the support :kissass:

I've joined the gym and do a fantastic programme about 5 times a week. It must be good cos it's started my weight loss at 5lbs! I've eaten well but I'm not saying I've been a saint so imagine if I had! :)

I got obsessed with it for a long time...but since joining the gym, I'm only weighing myself monthly...my lifestyle consultant at the gym told me I might put on up to half a stone of muscle in the first month. My weight hasn't changed but my clothes feel better!

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd document all my exercise and food throughout the week...some people might want to follow it if I'm successful!!! MONDAY Breakfast - banana Lunch - chicken casear salad Tea - chicken and bacon carbonara LOADS of water Exercise 3 mile walk but usually it will...

I have joined Spirit Health Club and am loving it so much. It's adjoining some Holiday Inn's so I suggest anyone considering joining a gym takes a look at this! It's fantastic. They do lifestyle consultancies every 3 months and weigh, measure, take your bp and all sorts. But, you can refuse...

I'm a poor student living with my mum...get no maintenance loans or anything like that...I don't go out because I can't afford it... I don't have anything decent worth selling :(

I just can't afford it...i don't know what to do

The website gives every piece of information but this... I'm desperate...in tears constantly...please reply

Hey, this has been my first week on slimfast and I've lost 6lbs...very pleased It's left me with 101lbs to lose now! I've joined a July challenge of losing a stone this month so only 8lbs to go! This is my first post on the century club and I'm sure you'll all be very welcoming...

I tend to go for a cup full of grapes, 2 ryvitas...dairylea dunkers...but they're 120 cals....french fries (the crisps) have less than 100 calories...i think it's around 85.... Hope this is helpful!

I'm not even getting engaged until I'm at least 2 stone lighter...my boyfriend knows this, ha! Lol...there's a little box in the bottom right hand corner of your messages...I just clicked on it :)

Good luck then...let me know how you get on...thanks for the encouragement! :)

Very proud to say...knock 6lb off...only 8lb to go now! Woo!!!

Hey, just completed my first week on Slimfast... I haven't stuck to it religiously and even had a big fat takeaway at the weekend but I've still managed to lose 6lb and I'm really chuffed! I want to lose 14lb this month and now I only have 8lb to go! Yay!

I've got my weigh in on Wednesday so we'll see how many I can tell you to take off...eeekk scary

I hope so...I'll keep you all updated...thanks for putting my mind at rest....

I went to see my doctor for a completely different reason last week (contraceptive pill) and he asked me if I was trying to lose weight. I told him I was trying slimfast and he weighed me and took my blood pressure then...surely he would have said something if there was a problem? Slimfast is so...

I want to lose 14lbs too!

I read somewhere you should only use it if you have 20% or less of your body weight to lose...I have like 40ish! I've started again yesterday, but am wondering, is the reason I'm failing because I'm too heavy? :(

Due to a shopping faux pas I'll only be doing slimfast tues-fri this week! Lol! I only do it monday to fri anyway but forgot to buy it yesterday before 4pm when all the shops shut! Gutted! Not eaten brilliantly over the weekend but I'm hoping it's not set me back too much! :)

Thanks everyone :)

Hehe!!! I hate weekends...they used to macdonalds breakfast time :(

Sounds like a plan to me Karen!

Lol...I'm actually looking forward to my turkey and veg later :)

I've just finished two sections of my dvd so a lot happier now. :) It did work in terms of cheering me up and making me feel more motivated :)

I'll do my exercise dvd in half an hour or so...hopefully that will help. To be honest, it usually does :)

My first weigh in was yesterday and I lost 8lbs. I'm really happy with it but I'm struggling to stay motivated today... How can i get back in the right mindset?

Hmmm that is odd...I'm just thinking now that any piece of fruit is better than a bag of crisps or a chocolate bar....

Thank you everybody! :) Really am so so so so so so pleased! It's making me carry on, put it that way!

That sounds sensible :) cheers for your post :)

Sometimes that's good though just to prove to yourself that you can do it! I never thought I could this section of the DVD but I have the other "high intensity fat burning aerobics" section in my sites for in a few weeks time, if not sooner!

I've been eating apples and satsumas...

I just completed a section of my exercise DVD I could not do a week ago! 30 mins on the exercise bike and being 8lb lighter has made such a difference. Yes, I'm dripping in sweat and could do with a bit of oxygen...but I DID IT! Lol

Thanks everyone!!!! I know what people mean now by saying it's addictive...I can't wait for next weeks weigh in!

Thanks Stirky! Well done on your loss too! x

Thanks, that's really helpful!!! I feel a trip to the supermarket coming on!

What are the healthiest fruits to eat? I've heard things like grapes are bad because they're full of sugar (albeit natural) and are quite starchy... What have you lot found the most effective for being filling and conducive to weight loss?

I hope you continue to do well too! Welcome!

Jodi Picoult - Handle With Care Very good about a little girl with osteogenisis imperfecta and her parents filing a lawsuit against their obstetrician for wrongful birth, despite loving their daughter and the obsetrician being the mothers' best friend!

Thanks Mini! I couldn't have expected anymore!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D 8 big grins for 8 lbs!

It certainly did! I'm so happy I could cry! woooooooo

1st week - 8lbs! I'm so happy!!! It really has paid off!

I have lost 8lbs!!!!!!!!! Very happy bunny!

Congratulations hun!

Oh dear...hope it all works out. If you want to talk about it, I'm here to listen. If you don't want to talk on here, my msn is in my profile... On a brighter note, I weighed myself a day early, (today instead of tomorrow) so it's not official yet, but I have lost 8lbs since Monday!!!!!!!

I'm not going to read this post again...do you think its counted as ok if i bike through the drive through to be healthier? Lol!

Oh Karen, there is hope...125 calories is nothing! Get exercising and you can have that off and more? Do you have an exercise equipment at your house?

I don't really care what I weigh...it's more about dress size with me.. when I'm a 12/14 I'll be happy :)

See I'm still feeling a little hungry on mine. I'm convinced it's psychological although there was a few rumbles the first few days... I think it just showed how much I was overeating beforehand. Make sure you take in the right amount of calories!!! It's important, don't want you getting ill on...

The thing is, it gives you a right complex about going shopping. When you have to buy the next size up it depresses you! I'll always remember taking a pair of size 18 tesco jeans off because they ripped, and having to buy a size 24 from evans...I'm pretty sure I hadn't gone up 3 dress sizes in...

That's lovely that you're doing it together...My boyfriend is annoyingly perfect in the body department with minimal effort...GIT! Hehehe! To be fair though, he is being very supportive of me. He told me he wants me to be thinner to help my asthma, my confidence and he admitted he would find me...

Lol...I suppose we're all similar on here! Thing is, I'm only 21 now and the whole "not fitting in" hasn't stopped... I have to wear long sleeve tops out in pubs and clubs, then get too hot...uncomfortable and vicious cycle! This is the first time I'm really taking things seriously though...

God I haven't been 12stone since I was 12/13... sad isn't it? I feel like I've lost my teenage years to being fat... I'm never going to get that back!

Oh no, don't talk about cheeseburgers! Lol!

213 calories... they're made with water as well rather than skimmed milk...more like a hot chocolate drink than a shake...yummy Glad I'm doing the right thing...I want to lose 28lb by 7th August...since I have a lot to lose it should come off pretty quickly... :) Thanks for your support!

oooh and I've just noticed we have the same goal weight!

Haha...my 45mins on the exercise bike daily(the one that does your arms too) seems piddly in comparison now...Lol! Good on you!

Eeeeek the pressure! Lol! I'm looking forward to it...How much exercise are you incorporating and what type?

I'm having tesco's own meal replacement drinks.... It says you can have one for breakfast, one for lunch and one as a snack, plus 3 other snacks of 100 calories as well as a 600 calorie meal in the evening... BUT... I'm having two meal replacement drinks, one for breakfast and one for...

Lol, I'll pm you my info now...shows up in top right hand corner...well does on mine anyway! thanks so much x

I can't afford to join unfortunately but am looking to start... If anybody has reached their goal weight or has changed plans wants to sell me their starter pack it would be much appreciated!!! :)

Good stuff...I lost a fair bit of weight earlier this year but had a couple of injuries from an accident so starting again now :)

Hey...welcome! My only tip is talk to anyone and everyone. They all have individual advice and something is bound to work for you. My tip...drink 3 litres of water a day...!

Hey! What kind of diet are you doing? :cool:

Well done Karen! Wish me luck for my first weigh in on Friday! x

All is well...don't panic. I had a bad fall a few weeks ago and injured several body parts! So...wasn't in the mood for healthy eating and physically couldn't walk let alone exercise. I'm out of various casts and nearly all bandages so I'm back and raring to go! For people who didn't meet me...

Just being sensible...two weigh ins missed now due to illness... still trying though but can't exercise or anything obviously :(

Hi Emma! It's not going too badly...got my weigh in on Thursday so I'll give you a more detailed description then. Haven't been able to go on the exercise bike over the bank holiday weekend but I've been walking on th beach and things like that...not too bad. How are you getting on? x

You're not doing too badly yourself! Xenical didn't work for me :(

Thanks, that's really helpful! x

Hi!!!!!! I've been a member for a couple of weeks now and am really finding the people lovely and supportive.... Before now though, I hadn't seen you lot hiding! I have a minimum of seven stone to lose...does that make me fit in with you?! Could do with a buddy maybe to talk to...get in...

Does this mean I've done too much and need to tone it down a bit? Or do I just work through the pain because it means it's working? :cry:

Mine did mine automatically when I filled in all my statistics. Go to your userCP and play about there for a while. I'm sure you'll find out how to do it :)

I do feel really good after it. After about ten mins on there I really want to get off but when I work through it I get to the point where I can keep going without it seeming too much like hardwork!

Thanks, that's really nice of you! I've been back on the exercise bike today so definitely feeling better and getting back on track!

V-Fit Apollo Air Exercise Cycle there's the link for the one I have...

I have one by V-fit that exercises your arms as well. It's really comfortable and I find it easy yet effective... My mum is heavier than you and uses it without an issue!

Noone seems to be replying but I'll still keep documenting things for my own purposes! Lol! I have the worst cold in the world at the moment so not weighing myself today. I will have gained purely because of the amount of water I'm consuming to try and flush this out and it wouldn't be a true...

I have my own! Lol!...

Well done on losing 11lb! Keep up the good work...My second weigh in is tomorrow so wish me luck!!!

I'm just eating healthily and exercising along my own merry way....how much is 8 pints in terms of litres?

How much is enough and how much is too much? I drink a lot anyway of anything but feel quite bloated with water...hmmmm

Summergurl...I only started last week and have so far lost 5lbs so can't complain...My second weigh in is on Friday so hopefully that will go well!!! Thanks for the advice; all I can say is that I'm going to try my hardest! :)

You have a very similar weight loss to me...only difference is you're nearly done and I'm just starting....any tips? Congrats on finishing uni!

Katey needs to go...she obviously doesn't want to be there as she's far far far too lazy! She relies on her Mum for absolutely everything and quite frankly doesn't deserve the opportunity if she can't make the most of it!!! Rant over :P lol

Happy birthday!

I've had a lot more energy today so I've decided to put it to good use and do an extra stint on the exercise bike...so I've already done 15 mins this morning and I'm due to do my dvd and another 15 on the bike about 3pm so I'm done in time for the biggest loser! x

As long as it's not just me I'm not bothered...it will even out in that case so it's all good! x

Hi Andy...great news about losing nearly 3 st! Well done! It's good that you're seeking more help...it shows how much you want this!

No ideas? :(

And it certainly worked for you!!!

definitely Jim...doctors recommend a loss of 2lb a week to something like 95% of patients

I didn't particularly noticed that I lost anymore weight on it...I found I was quite dehydrated on it and the leakages constantly bothered me. I become paranoid over them and had them no matter what I ate...

2lb isn't bad at all!!!!

Things seem to be going extremely well for you...well done!!!

I'm a massive Twilight fan...only started reading because I am a member of uite a few literary forums, being a novelist, and I needed to find out whether it deserved the hype. It's underrated as far as I'm concerned! Lol! Yes, the grammar isn't perfect but my God, Meyer's characterisation is...

I'm going to try everyday...I'm a novelist myself...

I'm completing an exercise DVD and 10 mins on the exercise bike to wind down everyday combined with a common sense "not eating rubbish" or too much plan and I'm noticing the difference massively after less than a week and have already lost 5lbs! Drinking plenty of water also works but I find it...

Does this happen to people? I can't work out the logic myself....:(

I'm doing it for me...I suffer with asthma too so I feel that my weight is inhibiting that more than it would if I was thinner! My boyfriend also admitted he would like me thinner. He said because he knew it would make me happier and healthier. I guess he must be telling the truth because I...

No problem Nat...when is your first weigh in due? I've lost 5lbs! Extremely happy :)

Well done on your loss! Keep up the good work!

Things like this make me realise how much I don't do!!!! argh!

No problem whatsoever Emma...I need as many friends as I can get on here, as we all do :)

She really has! Stop worrying!!! :p

Just had a look at your pics.... :) I think you look great!

Well it's a good job we're all either doing or have done something about it then isn't it? :) Scaremongering!!!! I hate the media

Happy birthday...don't go mad with the cake, lol, send it my way instead :)

Happy birthday!

well done all

I only started Wednesday...just shows you how much rubbish I was eating beforehand really :)

Good luck with starting today! You must keep me informed as to how you're getting on :)

Wooooo! Considering I thought I'd had a bad weekend I've lost another 3lb taking my total this week to 5lb!!! Very happy bunny!

I'd get rid of Rick and Michelle... I like Jamie though...bless him! I just wish he'd stop crying over everything! Lol!

You're right about rooting for clothes! I'm sick of only being able to shop in certain places and a fair few of them think bigger people want to wear hideously patterned tent type things...WE DON'T!!! Lol :cry:

I have roughly the same amount to lose so good luck with it and keep me informed :)

Me neither....another person that's winding me up is Katey...she might have lost a substantial amount this week but it's more by luck than judgement...the knee injury seems to be an excuse and this is coming from someone who has major knee troubles!

I hope she goes out to be fair...however harsh that sounds. I haven't been able to warm to them as much as some of the other couples and I prefer the other team up for elimination :)

Not had a particularly good weekend...it's really got me down. I'm more discipline when I'm on my own but other people seem to be able to influence me too easily.

Hi Natalie! Good luck with your plan...Do you have much to lose?

But a gain of 8lbs? It seems a little excessive for everything the have to do on there :( poor lady

Glad to know it's not just me! :)

cheers jim lol

Hi Lyn...thanks for your message...if you ever want to talk feel free to add me on msn or find me on here... x

Very much so....I am now half of one of those couples that make people sick in public...and I LOVE IT! haha

Then obviously so! haha....hmmmmm

I'm newly happy to be honest with you Jim, but certainly can't complain about it...! :p

madness! reckon they work?

Definitely Jim...I'm always positive. :)

Thanks a lot for your support...I love the people on here! I find myself constantly thinking..."how much exercise will I have to do to get rid of this sandwich?" for example...and that helps! I suppose that's a similar concept. :) thanks everyone

I go on my bike from half 3 til 4 and stop to watch it...lol Before I go on my exercise bike I do the warm up from the Claire Richards 5 Step Fat Attack too... :)

Well done! You're really doing well...it's addictive when you start. You really must be working hard to lose so consistently! I'm jealous :)

Hey everyone... This was my introductory message incase any of you missed it.... Well hello, Don't really know what to say here other than I'm Olivia, I'm 21 and I weigh far too much. I'm about 19 stone and ideally I want to be about 12. To be honest it's not so much how much I weigh that...

Thanks for all your words of encouragement...day 2 has already started off well :)

I love the programme and it really inspires me to exercise as well as change my eating habits but I'd be gutted if I only lost what they did in the first week, if my regime was as intense as theirs is! It's on now! lol!

I love love love Claire Richards (from Steps) Five Step Fat Attack...bouncing round to those cheesey tunes makes it a lot more endurable. It starts off fairly easily and works up at a pace which everyone can follow! In fact I've just done two of the five steps and I'm feeling great! The reason...
