My diet has always been low in caffeine, so I don't think it's that. I don't drink tea or coffee and I don't drink fizzy drinks very often. My chocolate intake is much higher than it should be, which obviously contains caffeine, but even when I'm not dieting, I don't eat chocolate every day, so...

Thanks for the advice :) Unfortunately, I can't stand stand quark or fromage frais (i dont even eat yogurt) and prefer my meat and fish plain, so bland is the only way for me to go during attack :( I'm hoping to survive the full 5 days. I just need to stop feeling sick :( I'm going to make...

Hello! This is my first post in this forum. I'm 27, 5' 7" and started dukan yesterday at 13st 0.6lb. Yesterday went ok and I weighed myself this morning and I am now 12st 13lb, so I've had a good loss already, but I feel like he'll this morning. Is this normal?? I've got a headache (nothing...

Well, I was finally brave enough to get on the scales! I only gained 2lb so I'm really pleased!! I was expecting it to be much much worse! I'm still struggling to get properly back on track though. I just can't seem to get my head back in it :( Blackwidow - (January - 8lbs, 0lbs lost) Bear...

Hello all!! Thought I'd better post so you didn't all think I'd disappeared!! I'm still here but struggling :( still not brave enough to get on the scales to see the Christmas damage :( Blackwidow - (January - 8lbs, 0lbs lost) Bear 1982 - kdma -(January -6lbs, 0lbs lost) Shabba - IreneH -...

Hi everyone!! I have well and truly jumped off the wagon this Christmas!! Just wanted to say hello!!! I will be getting back on track shortly (and back into the gym and will be back next week with my terrible weigh in result!! I can't make it to weigh in this week, which is probably why I'm...

Hello!! I lost 2.5lb this week!!! X Blackwidow - (November - 6lbs, 4lbs lost / Xmas - 18lbs, 10lbs lost) Bear 1982 - (Oct - 4lbs, 4.25lbs lost/ Xmas - 14lbs, 4.25lbs lost) kdma -(Christmas -21lbs, 21lbs lost) Shabba - (Oct - 7lbs, 6lbs lost / Chrimbo - 21lbs, 6lbs lost) IreneH - vanda -...

Well... I gained half a pound. Could have been worse, I guess, considering the lack of exercise and lack of pointing last week. Still disappointed in myself, though :( So now I need to lose 4lb in the next 2 weeks to meet my Christmas target, which - realistically - just isn't going to happen...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Counting down to Xmas! Well done everyone who's lost this week!! Everyones doing so well!! I'm dreading weigh in on Sunday!! I think I'm going to gain this week. All this snow makes me want to curl up in front of the telly with thick slices of...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Counting down to Xmas! Hello!! I lost 1.5lb thus week!! So so pleased as it means I lost 4.5lb in November and my target was 4lb :) Hoping for 1lb next week :) Blackwidow - (November - 6lbs, 4lbs lost / Xmas - 18lbs, 10lbs lost) Bear 1982 -...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Counting down to Xmas! Hey everyone!! I lost 1lb!! I would have liked to lose a bit more, but at least it's off and not on!! 3lb in 2 weeks isn't bad going! I need to lose 1lb next week to reach my November target. Good luck to everyone else...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Wish me luck!! It's my weigh in tomorrow morning!! I'm really dreading it because this has been my first 100% week in ages!! Ever since I started dieting, I've always had a non-pointed blow out after weigh in. My weight...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Thanks Hun :) good luck with your weigh in!! I'm sure you'll do really well x

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Morning everyone!!! I am currently sitting in my ww meeting and I have just got off the scales... 2lb lost!!! I would have liked a bit more, seeing as it's my first week back on track, but I've done a fair bit of...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Sorry to hear you were unhappy with your weigh in result, Miss Mango :( maybe next weeks weigh in will show all the hard work you've put in xx I've got my first weigh in tomorrow morning! I've loved my first week on the...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! 6.5lb?! That's awesome!! Well done!! I'd be happy with half of that!! Actually, even that would be a bit optimistic for me!! x

And thank you kirsty for replying! I've got plenty of points left today and 48 of my 49 weekly points left so I guess I'll just guestimate and err on the side of caution :)

Ooops! Thank you for moving this to the right place :) I wasn't paying attention when I posted it!! x

Does anyone know how many propoints are in a chicken kebab? Not a doner kebab, but chunks of grilled chicken in a pitta bread with salad? It used to be ok for points on the old plan, but i can't find the propoints values anywhere!! I just got home from Step class and can't be bothered to...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Yes, you can join online :) I've tried doing it online but I need the meetings for motivation, I think. The online content is good though :)

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Hello all!! Day 2 of propoints and I'm still on track!! Go me! Lol. How's everyone else doing with the new plan? I'm a bit nervous about weigh in though. I just feel like I'm eating more and I've only used one of my 49...

There was no mention of this at all in my meeting yesterday. I don't know whether that's just because they don't want to mention it so soon after introducing the plan because people might overdo it and have small losses or gains and give the plan negative feedback or because it's not part of...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Well, I went to a meeting this morning. Signed up again and started fresh - it was the only meeting in my area that I hadn't been a member of yet!! I was horrified when I got on the scales. I have gained back more than I...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! I'm going to be realistic with my goals and go for 4lbs in Nov and 8lbs for my Xmas challenge. Hopefully I'll lose more, but Nov and Dec are such difficult months for me dietwise that I'll be lucky to lose anything at all...

Me! I'm rejoining ww tomorrow after several months of being well and truly off the wagon! I'm dreading getting on the scales. I haven't even had a peek at my own scales for weeks and I know I'm going to be much heavier than I was when I last weighed in, but I'm looking forward to getting...

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Yay :) I'm a member of team 3 again :) I'm going back to ww tomorrow. My meeting is at 10am. I guess I'll be one of the first to start the new plan - it is being introduced to meetings from tomorrow, right? I don't want to...

Re: TEAMS - Post here if you are interested in joining! Yay :) thank you x

Re: TEAMS - Post here if you are interested in joining! Hello, I would like to join a team please. I'm a lapsed team 3 member coming back with my tail between my legs :(

Re: Team Loser - "Winning by Losing" - Fresh start for July! Hello everyone!! I hope you're all ok and having good losses! Some of you may remember me from earlier this year (around June). I just wanted to apologise for abandoning the team :( I fell of the wagon after such a...

I haven't seen any free reg coupons but there's a voucher on the ww website to pay £12.95 for the first months monthly pass and if you sign up with that, you don't pay the reg fee. It also says on the website that if you take the voucher to your meeting and choose to pay as you go rather than...

Hi all!! I haven't posted here for ages. Having been to a meeting since august and have generally been crap dietwise!! I'm thinking about going back to ww next Sunday to give the new plan a go. I want to go to a different meeting with a different leader for a fresh start. Does anyone know if...

Hello everyone!! i lost 1lb this week! i wasn't expecting it at all! i went to a BBQ on Sunday and fully expected a gain when i went to weigh in yesterday. overall, i'm really pleased with how i've done in June. i didn't reach my 7lb target, but i'm only 1.5lb off it, so i'm over the moon...

I'm at the cinema and wondering how many points in a large fanta frozen drink? It's the fruit twist flavour, don't know if that matters? Been looking for the points online and can't find it anywhere :( Anyone know? X

Hello everyone! well done to everyone who's had a loss so far this week :D I weighed in tonight and lost 1.5lb :) after only losing 0.5lb in my first week, i'm definitely feeling better about it now as i lost 2.5lb last week, so i've lost 4lb in the last two weeks :) i don't think i'll reach...

lol. i think you should be proud of yourself for not being pathetic/geeky enough to spend the last week and a half glued to various iphone related websites like me! haha! the "refresh" button on my laptop is somewhat tired now!! will all be worth it when my shiny new gadget arrives next...

yeah, i'm getting the 16gb iphone - £499. but i've signed up for a 12 month simplicity tariff with O2 for £15 a month, so overall, it's actually cheaper than getting it on a contract, and i'm not tied in for 18/24 months :) having it completely unlocked will make it worth more if/when i...

i should add, i'm really pleased i ordered mine when i did (about 5 minutes after pre-orders started on the apple website) because orders that are placed now won't be delivered until 14th July!!

i ordered it with Apple because they were the only ones to actually start pre-orders on the 15th, and the only way to guarantee that my iphone would be delivered on launch day (thursday 24th). i also didn't want to be tied into a contract, and Apple are selling them sim-free and completely...

hello everyone :) is anyone else getting the new iPhone 4? i pre-ordered mine sim-free from Apple on Tuesday, so i've booked Thursday off work so i can be there when it arrives - can't wait to play with my new toy!! i've seen people mention some ww-friendly apps. which is best?

sorry i haven't been around much lately guys! i am so so pleased though - i lost 2.5lb this week!!! after only losing 0.5lb last week, i'm over the moon!! Berryred - (5lb, 1/2lbs on) Blackwidow - (4lbs, 5lbs lost!) Twiggy - Bear 1982 - (4lbs, 1lbs lost!) beccabottle - * RecoveringChocoholic...

i'm sure we'll both be much happier next summer, emma! blackwidow - korfball is a dutch game... it's kind of like a cross between netball and basketball, but much faster than netball. i've been with my other half for 5 years and i still don't know all the rules... so i can't explain it much...

hello everyone. i'm really disappointed and feel like crying :( i had my first weigh in today and only lost half a pound :( i know any loss is better than a gain, but i tried *so* hard this week. i stuck to my points, i did more cardio than usual and went to the gym 3 times instead of my...

well... another first today - i went to a korfball tournament and managed to stay within my points! my other half is a korfballer and, occasionally, i get dragged along to the summer tournaments... which isn't too bad (i get to take photos and sit in the sun!), but they always have a bbq and...

well... just a quick update. i was planning to sign up for a monthly pass on Tuesday before my meeting (to save the maximum amount of money - i joined my old meeting with a voucher that gave me free registration and free meeting, so it cost me nothing... and intended to sign up for monthly pass...

lol, i don't really go on holiday :( the other half is a student (graduating this year) so we can't really afford holidays :( we went to Greece is 2007 and i wore bikinis!! i was a quite a bit slimmer than i am now though... and Greece had the added benefit of being hundreds and hundreds of...

you can do it :) i bet your weigh in on sunday goes really well - that will give you the boost you need to carry on next week :) x

thanks blackwidow... but i really hate my legs :( i can't even wear leggings - i don't wear anything that fits close against my legs :( it's a confidence/self-esteem thing more than anything else, i know... the rational part of my knows that i can't possibly look as bad as i think i do...

well... day 3. still going well. i've managed to stay within my points so far and haven't felt deprived. i had minstrels today. and maltesers. naughty, i know, but i was having a really stressful day at work and my whole body was aching for chocolate! i stood looking at the vending machine...

welcome cherryred!! you'll find lots of support here. i'm fairly new too - i went back to my old ww group on tuesday, so i'm about half way through my first week and i'm feeling positive about my first weigh in :) good luck on your weightloss journey :) i couldn't do it without the...

don't give up!! think about how brilliant you're going to feel when you get on those scales and see a loss! think about how wonderful it will be to look in the mirror and like what you see! or about how you'll feel when you go clothes shopping and pick up your normal size out of habit and...

hi kaz, i ended up having a ww lasagne and some ww rice pudding. ended up having 20.5points today, so still 1point from yesterday left over. might have a chinese at the weekend. although, my favourite is boring - plain chow mein and mini veg spring rolls - all of which i can have without...

well done, kaz! that's a brilliant loss! and i hope your weigh in goes well, blackwidow!! my week is going well, so far. the only problem is i'm finding it hard to eat all of my points, which i didn't think i would after eating such massive portions on SW!! i was down by 1.5points...

hello everyone :) so... it's day 2 of my first week... i've eaten dinner and i've got 8.5 points left! well... i've got 7 points left, but i also carried over 1.5points from yesterday!! any suggestions as to what i can eat to use them up? normally, i'd head for chocolate, but i don't have...

thank you very much! it's been years since i last "pointed" any exercise, so i'm a bit out of touch with it all! not that it matters - i very rarely use any exercise points for food anyway!

today's food: breakfast - 2x weetabix (2points) with skimmed milk (0.5point) - 2.5points lunch - 2x slice crustless bread (1.5points), laughing cow light triangle (0.5point) and wafer thin ham (1point) - 3 points snacks - ww choc & vanilla mousse (2 points), small fruit salad (0.5point) -...

well, i thought i'd start my own diary here. i'm hoping it will help me stay on track. i went back to my old ww meeting yesterday and was 1.5lb heavier than i was at my last sw meeting, which isn't too bad going, i guess. my official start weight is 11st 13.5lb and i do not intend on being...

me! i joined SW in sept 09 and went back to WW last night. SW just wasn't helping me control my portions and i'm already much happier on WW :)

hello everyone!! just thought i'd drop by because i'm in a really good mood! today is my first day back on WW and i know i made the right choice to change over from SW to WW. i got a bit hungry at work, because i'm used to being able to just pick at fruit and yogurts during the day, but...

thanks everyone :) i went to my meeting tonight :) as i thought - i gained. 1.5lb. still... it could have been a lot worse and today is a fresh start, so i'll make up for it next week!!

Hello all! My name is Becca, I'm 26 and I live in Kent. I'm a Customer Services Team Leader for a leading manufacturer in the golfing industry and need to lose about a stone and a half. I've been on SW since Sept 09 and lost 1st, but have been playing with the same 3lb since Christmas, so...

thank you :) x

hello? am i too late? sorry... i'm so impatient! haha!

that's a good point actually, i have a voucher for free meeting and registration, so i'll use that tomorrow and then buy the monthly pass online next week :) i was thinking, if i signed up tonight, my start weight might end up being wrong, so maybe it's more hassle than it's worth! lol

hello! as you may have seen me mention in other threads... i'm going back to my old WW meeting tomorrow. it's been about 4 years since i was last a member, so i'll have to rejoin and start from scratch. i was thinking about buying the Monthly Pass online tonight, to save time at the...

i'm joining WW tomorrow, i've been doing SW since sept 09. I lost a stone before Christmas, but nothing since - just been playing with the same 3lbs for the last 5 months. Portion control is definitely where SW lacks for me. It's far too easy for me to overeat. In the past, i've lost...

Hi Abbysmum, i do feel like i've wasted the last 5 months on SW, yes. i did quite well with it between when i started in sept and christmas, but am exactly the same weight now as i was on the last weigh in before christmas because i've just been playing with the same 3lb - up a bit, down a...

i don't know for sure... but Joe's Sausages, which are syn free on SW are 1point... so maybe the syn free sausages you buy from the butcher are 1point each too? it's impossible to know for sure, i guess, without knowing the nutritional info :(

Thanks everyone :) it's really nice to find a community where everyone's so friendly :) i've lurked a bit on the Slimming World boards (which seem to be much busier than this one... i wonder why? perhaps because the SW website doesn't have a message board?) but have only posted a couple of...

I'm joining WW on 1st June, so will have 4 weigh ins to hopefully lose 7lb. Bit ambitious for me, but aim for the moon and all that, right? Irene 4 lbs Karen 7 lbs Kas getting slimmer 14 lbs chocaslim 7lb Katie_Victoria 5lbs jenpen 7 lbs Lorny 5lbs Smirky - 4lbs size102b -7lbs phill1978...

hello! i'm going back to WW on tuesday and would love to join a team for a bit of extra motivation if anyone will have me? x

cool :) i'm slowly working my way around the site, so i'll look out for the challenge threads :)

Thanks phill1978! well done on your weightloss! you're doing brilliantly!! when i stick to it properly (which is usually my problem!!) my weightloss is always faster and more consistant with WW than any other diet, so i'm hoping i have the same success this time round :)

Hello all, I got to goal in October 2003 with WW, and promptly put all the weight back on again!! took me about 3 months to get to goal... and about 3 months to put it all back on! since then, i've played around with WW and tried dieting on my own and last summer i found that i was about a...

so disappointed :( i gained 2lb this week :( i knew i would gain a bit because i only lost 2lb last week because i was ill and didn't eat for 4 days, and my gym programme was changed and i have my period... but i didn't think it would be 2lb :(

I'm 5'7" and 12st 7lb. I'm a size 14 on bottom and size 12 on top. I would like to be a size 12 all over. My trousers are already getting looser, thanks to SW and my efforts at the gym, so there's hope for me yet!!

I have lost 6lb in 4 weeks :)

I joined a gym 12 weeks ago, and kept putting off my 6 week review because I knew I hadn't lost any weight since I joined... Well... I couldn't put it off forever, so I had my review on Thursday. I didn't lose any weight between joining the gym and started SW because I wasn't really putting...

I lost 1.5lb :) I'm really pleased as I lose weight quite slowly and was convinced that I was going to stay the same this week (my second week). I want to have lost a stone by Christmas and I think that's doable - 10.5lb in 13 weeks :)

i've got my second weigh in tomorrow and although my clothes are feeling a bit looser (down to the exercise i've been doing by going to the gym regularly, rather than the diet, i think), i don't think my weigh in is going to be that great. i'm too scared to get on my scales to check! the only...

hello, does anyone know how many syns is in the above? it comes as a pack of two gammon steaks with two slices of pineapple and a pineapple glaze. My boyfriend and i are having it for dinner (him with chips, me with veg) so i'll be having half the pack. I'm have an original day today, so...

i work on the eurolink too! but right at the far end of the estate. it's a small world!

I go to Emma's Monday 6:15pm group in Sittingbourne, Kent. Not too far from Sheerness or Strood, so hello ladies!

I had my first weigh in yesterday. I lost 2lb! it's not much (for my first week), but i lose weight fairly slowly and i did eat out last friday, so it's as much as i could have asked for :)

LOL. well... we're all a bit overweight in my family, so that ship has probably sailed!! lol. in all honesty, mum's struggling a bit financially at the moment and is of the opinion that eating things i don't want to eat is better than her and my brother not eating at all! (waste not, want...

to take my mind off being nervous about my first weigh in tomorrow, i finally got round to sorting out my fridge, freezer and food cupboard. a whole bunch of stuff i bought before starting SW that i can't really eat now has been passed to my mum's freezer, my freezer is currently defrosting...

thanks for the tip - i didn't see the food directory when i went on monday. i'll ask my consultant about it next week :)

sorry... that was a bit of a long and ranty post! lol

thanks for replying :) i find SW more flexible than WW too... in all respects except one - eating out. i understand that most places have options that i could order that are free on SW... but when i eat out, i don't want to eat chicken salad or a jacket potato - i could have that at home! on...

Hello! I joined my local SW group on Monday, so only 2 days until my first weigh in. I haven't found this week too difficult, although i'm struggling to decide what to eat - i'm used to living on ready meals and tins of rice pudding, so cooking from scratch is new to me! I still find syn...
