This is amazing!! It was my birthday on Tuesday so this week on my 'normal days' I have had 2 Chinese Takeaways, a McDonalds and birthday cake and still lost 0.8lbs!!! This really works! :)

I feel absolutely fine on my DDs. I can go into work and last the whole day with only green tea and water and my body feels used to that now. I obviously get hunger pangs now and again but they always pass quite quickly. Friday night is my hardest time but I have the incentive of my weigh in...

I have lost 20lbs doing the 4:3 version with having 300-400 cals on Mon, Wed and Fri and up to 2000 on the other days. I have a chippy (fish supper) every Saturday and chocolate on Tues, Thurs, Sat and Sun. Into my 10th week now and loving this plan, don't feel the urge to binge or get really...

Back on track, lost 1.8lbs this week. :)

Hmmm only lost 1lb last week and stayed the same this week. Was hoping for a couple of lbs this week.

WI day today - lost 4.9lbs!!! :D My first month of JUDDD (4:3 version) is completed. Total = 16.4lbs!!! Onto the next month, hope it's as successful.

2.6lbs down this week, making a total of 11.5lbs in 3 weeks on the 4:3 plan. Loving it!!!! :)

Thanks everyone, going to stick to weighing myself every Saturday morning. Loving this plan, it's so easy and flexible. Next mission is to start exercising but I am finding it hard as I am so busy at work, when I get home I am so tired. Hopefully soon I can find the energy to do something.

Weighed this morning after 12 days and a DD and I have lost 8.9lbs!! Know most of that will be water weight but happy with that. :)

Thanks, make sense. I will do that. :)

I have just completed my 1st week of JUDDD and loving it so far! I am doing Mon, Wed, Fri as DD and Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun as UD. When, in your experience is the best day to weigh yourself? I assume after a DD but would Tuesday after 1 DD be too soon from the weekend up days to make a...

Thanks, looking forward to starting. :)

Going to start this next week once I get rid of all the xmas goodies! :o I think I can handle the DD no probs but I am concerned about the UD. Is it best to count calories on the UD to make sure you are not well below or well above the recommended amount? Not sure what I am going to eat on...

No but I am beginning to notice a pattern I always gain every 4th week (2 weeks before I am due totm). So annoying!!

Well stepped on the scales this morning and to my horror I have now gained 2lbs!! I was at 1700 cals a day for 2 weeks which resulted in a 4lbs loss, now on my 3rd week I have gained half of that back!! This week I am aiming for 1500 cals a day.

Thanks, will do that. I guess we are all different and we need to find out what works for us. It's only been 1 week so I will see what the scales say on Monday and if I continue to lose then I will stick at 1700 cals. :)

After a few weeks of going nowhere and even gaining 0.5lb, I thought I would try and eat more calories. I was roughly eating between 1200-1400 so I looked online for advice and thought I would try to eat around 1700 calories daily. I was nervous about doing this and really thought I would...

I started really well and lost 15lbs in my first month but at the end of my 2nd month I only lost 1lb. I felt so low and frustrated at this so decided to look into this more. I use MFP and that gives me 1450 cals dailly. I tend to eat between 1200-1400 with occasionally 1500-1600 at the...

I know I won't lose weight by dieting alone so I have started Shred - Level 1 as I have heard you get results with that. Hopefully that will be an incentive to stick with it.

Just completed my first month off sticking to around 1300-1500 cals a day and have lost 15lbs. Only going to weigh myself once a month as I get frustrated when I gain or stay the same during my monthly cycle. Seem to be on track with the food but I cannot seem to motivate myself to exercise as...

MFP has set mine to 1520 cals a day with a setting of 1lb loss per week. Only on 2nd week and lost 3lbs so far so I will see how it goes.

Nice one Donzy, great results. :D I had a rest day today as I was at a party tonight and I am out all day and night tomorrow so won't get to do Resistance until Sunday. Muscles feel a lot better today. :)

Just finished Core - Week 1. Got on a lot better tonight although I cannot do the plank so left that bit out.

Core it is then, thanks. :D

What's easier? lol

I can really feel it in my thighs yesterday and today. Going to struggle tonight methinks.

I feel stiff already!!! God knows what I will be like tomorrow!!

Got a 5lb one that came with the set and a 4kg one. Used the 5lb one as I haven't exercised in a long time. I found it quite tough. :o

I was going to start this ages ago but could never get motivated enough but finally I have started tonight!!! Just done Cardio level 1 - oh my god that was tough, I am soooooo unfit!!!! :eek:

Yikes, may have to go a little lighter. I have dumbells in 6, 8 and 10lbs and I struggle with the 6 and 8s. Can't even attempt 10lbs.

I only managed just over a week the last time for some reason. I will start with the 5lb one that I got with the package. What's the 5kg in lbs? I'm only used to working in lbs.

Wow I am inspired!! I have the kettleworx set with the 5lb kettlebell gathering dust for over a year, I am now going to restart this on Monday. A query though, is the 5lb kettlebell too light for getting results? When I first started this last year it was fine using this but realise I will...

Has anyone done this? I want to change to online as I feel I am only paying the extra money for standing on scales when I can do this at home. I mostly benefit from using the online tracker and forums so feel meetings are not for me and would rather use the online method. Do I cancel the...

I gained 0.5lb tonight. I am hoping it's because of totm but I am not due for another 8 days although I am feeling bloated today.

I have one take away favourite but not sure how many pp are in it? Can anyone tell me how many pp are in Sweet & Sour Chicken balls with a portion of chips please?

I have had a rubbish time of it lately trying to do this alone so have decided the only way forward is to actually attend meetings. Had a look online to try and find prices etc. Have seen a monthly pass for £12.95 for the first month. Don't have a printer at home so can't print anything off...

No I am using the old points system. Not changing at this moment as it's working for me. :)

I like cardio party 2, it's fab. I also have cardio party 3 but it's my least fave. I also love Punch, Kick & Jam. It's more of an advanced workout but I love it when I feel I have lots of energy to burn.

I would think so since there are 8 acts left and only 4 live shows left.

Well I was dreading the scales this morning as I had a terrible weekend, foodwise and ate too much so I was praying for only gaining 1 pound. Got on the scales and lost 1 pound! :eek: Not only have I finally got into the 13stones, I have also lost 10%!!! :):):)

Apparently, according to Mary in an interview, the next 2 weeks will be double elimations!!

I love the cardio party routines!! My faves at the moment at cardio party 1 and 2.

Apparently I read on twitter than it is a double elimation this weekend. Surely Wagner must go this time.

Lost 3lbs!!! :bliss:

Well done!! :):):)

Please Wagner to go this weekend!! Had enough!!

Jay K really slagged off Danni and Cheryl in the press before the show.

Last night's show was awful! Not impressed.

Thanks and you too!! :)

Me too, if it wasn't for the inch losses, I would be really struggling to keep going right now. I will hang in there though, I have to.

Yes I have lost 1/2 inch off my arms. I am combing Turbo Jam and Chalean Extreme which uses weights. Look on youtube if you don't know what these workouts are but I love them and they are fun. Also a bonus is I am getting results with this, losing inches that is. :)

Sucks doesn't it? Hopefully we will both have a good loss next week to make up for it.

I think you should do both. The exercise will help tone your body up, feel fitter etc. And if it doesn't show on the scales then it will show on the tape measure as you lose inches. Although disappointed with the lack of pounds I have lost, I have lost lots of inches and my clothes fit a lot...

I'm exactly the same. Been good and exercised 6 of the last 7 days and gained a pound!! So frustrating but can't complain too much since I had a huge loss last week.

Gained 1lb!!! :cry: I knew I lost too much last week.

That I can still eat my faves and lose weight! :)

My weigh-in day has changed from Monday to Wednesday.

I think Wagner will be safe. Think John and Bel Amie are in trouble tonight. My top 3 are Matt, Rebecca and One Direction. Not keen on the rest.

The only thing I done different that week was starting to drink 2-3 litres of water a day including 2 mugs of green tea plus exercised 6 days but haven't changed food wise.

Well done! :)

Those are still good losses, well done. :)

Well done! :)

Yum, haven't had jaffa cakes for ages! Must get some! :)

I've got the wii fit but it didn't do anything for me and got bored very easily with it.

I'm sticking to the points system as it is working for me at the moment.

Thanks, now on 21 points a day, see how I go on that. Since I had a huge loss this week I will be glad of a 1lb loss next week. :)

Well done. :)

After having a struggle the past few weeks to lose weight even though I have been good and then noticing at the weekend I am having an extra point too many, I was dreading the weigh-in today. And I still feel bloated. So I hopped onto the scales praying for a 1lb loss. I looked down and it...

I loved One Direction tonight. Rebecca was amazing, and so was Mary and Matt.

Hopefully I won't. My weigh in is Monday so will continue on 22 till then and then change it to 21. Hopefully I will get a good loss the following week.

that my daily points allowance should be 21 instead of 22. Eek!!!!! I am now 36 so I lose a point. Been doing weightwatchers on and off for a few years now and never realised your points changed when you get older. :o:o:o Perhaps that's why I have been struggling a wee bit the past few weeks?

Don't beat yourself up too much. Just get right back on track and you will be fine. :)

I would need to weigh it dry as I don't want to end up throwing away pasta if I cook too much.

Well done. :)

I've been there. I sunk into a depression as I felt so ugly and fat and I was so ashamed of myself. I couldn't go out socialising with friends because I didn't want people to see me like that. At the moment I don't have a social life as my friends don't invite me out anymore as I always...

Wow, well done :)

Well done, you look fantastic!! :)

I have lots of stretch marks due to years of yoyo dieting. It doesn't bother me anymore, nothing I can do about them and I would rather be slim with stretch marks than fat and without. Try not to worry about them, they will fade and you are still young which is a bonus. :)

Should be fine. If I know I have a night out at the weekend, I tend to save points throughout the weekdays for them. I'm not sure but I think you can save 4 points per day? So say I save 4 points a day during the week, I will have an extra 20 points at the weekend. I don't do it too often...

If you only have a medium portion of wedges then 10 should cover it but try and save more just incase the sauce is fattening. Maybe not use the whole sauce, just enough to flavour the chicken? That could help.

Roughly I would guess. Pitta bread - 2.5 points Chicken medium portion - 2 points Wedges (depends on how many grams) e.g. 100g = 3-4 points. Sorry don't know about the sauce.

Hi and welcome. Good luck on your weightloss journey. :)

I came off the pill to see if it hindered the weight loss or not so this will be my first totm off the pill. Anyway, I was due last Tuesday and weighed myself the day before, gained 0.5lb. Still my period hasn't started and I feel so bloated!!! Dreading the scales on Monday. Maybe water...

Wow, good on you. I'm so not a morning person, I could not cope with that at all. Hope it works for you. :)

Just hang in there and the results will come, just need time, commitment and discipline. There will be hard days and good days. Be strong! :)

Welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey! :)

Great news, you must be over the moon! :)

2.5 points.

I used to really hate drinking water on its own but soon got used to it. For a few years now I have always had a bottle of water on my desk at work and sipped through that during the day. Now it's so routine I would miss it if I didn't have water on my desk. :)

Hiya, good luck with tomorrow's weigh-in. :)

Well done! :) I am obese at the moment. I will change to being overweight when I lose 47lbs. Long way to go yet.

Anyone follow tennis? I'm a huge tennis fan and my two favourite players are Rafa Nadal and Andy Murray. Don't tend to follow the women's side too much, I much prefer the mens game, it's more exciting.

I am fascinated by the paranormal. Never had any spooky experiences though.

All my knee high boots don't zip up and the ankle boots only go half way. I really hope my calves slim down but a wee bit worried they will get bulky with all the exercising I am doing.

I have just bought the easytones and wore them yesterday for the first time. I only went to the docs (around 15 mins journey). But I definately felt them working. Only thing was my right side of my right foot was a bit numb after that but that soon wore off. Going to wear these when I do my...

All the time. I have almost a whole wardrobe full of clothes that are a size or couple of sizes down. I am determined to get into them.

Well done. Just shows that it pays off if you hang in there. :)

Hi and welcome, I'll be here for a while, got loads to lose. Good luck with your weightloss journey! :)

Good to know, don't think I could drink much more as I keep having to go to the loo! :o:giggle:

Does anyone know how many points are in a jam filled doughnut that you get from Tesco or Asda?

I recently decided to try and drink more healthy to aid the weightloss. I currently drink the following during a working day. 1 mug of tea first thing in the morning. 1 mug of green tea at morning break. 1 mug of green tea at afternoon break. 1 litre of water throughout the day. 1 litre of...

I've been doing that for 7 weeks now along with my normal workouts that I do in the evening. Walking is definately a great exercise.

I'm maybe counting mine wrong then. I weigh 100g before I cook and pointed them at 5 points. Is this wrong? :confused:

Tina O'Brien will miss this week's show due to having chickenpox.

I never read the books either but love the films. I can't decide between Team Edward and Team Jacob! :)

Aww she is gorgeous. My last cat was a torti, she was beautiful. Love torties. :)

Awww he's handsome. :)

I do a power walk for 30 minutes during my lunch when I'm at work. Definately feel my legs getting stronger and toned. :)

Maybe a female version of Damon! Will be interesting to see what side she is on. I think she will team up with Katherine to give the Salvatore brothers a hard time. I couldn't wait so watched it at US pace. It's fab, really enjoyed the 3rd series. :)

Hi and welcome to the forum. Good luck on your weightloss journey. :)

Hi and welcome to the forum. Good luck on your weightloss journey. :)

It's going to be interesting with Caroline now a vampire.

Eric? He is yummy!!! :heartpump::heartpump::heartpump: Just finished watching season 3. Really enjoyed it.

Welcome, well done so far and good luck with the rest of your weightloss. :)

Welcome and good luck with your weightloss. :)

Well done!!! :)

Welcome and good luck with your weightloss. :)

Welcome and good luck with your weightloss. :)

Welcome and good luck with your weightloss. :)

Welcome :)

Aww hugs to you. I know how you feel as I have recently been there. Only in my 7th week but this time I feel in control whereas before I would be really good for a few days when I would start to binge again. It was comfort food to me as I was feeling depressed. I gave myself an ultimatum, do...

Well done. I have a wardrobe full of clothes too small but hopefully I will get into them eventually. :)

I gained 0.5lb. :cry:

Welcome and good luck with your weight loss. :)

Welcome and good luck with your weight loss. :)

Welcome and well done with your weight loss so far. :)

Welcome and good luck with your weight loss. :)

Welcome and good luck with your weight loss. :)

I have at least 6 stone to lose and into week 7 of my long journey. Weigh-in is today but gained 0.5lb :(, lost 12lbs in total so far. Going slow at the moment but just have to hang in there.

Can't believe people are voting for Wagner. :confused: Liked Aiden, Matt, Cher, Mary and One Direction on the first show.

After working my butt off and sticking to the points, I have gained half a pound. :cry:I am assuming it's because I'm due totm tomorrow? So frustrating!!!

I love Supernatural!!!! Have seen every single episode. Will be gutted when it ends.

Love it and I love Damon!!! :heartpump::heartpump::heartpump:

I used them last year and got great results with them. :)

Anyone else suffer from an underactive thyroid? I assume I am going to have a slow weight loss due to my underactive thyroid. It can be so frustrating as last week I stuck to my points, did my exercise and stayed the same!!! But I have been told by the doc that the weight will be harder to...

Wow, well done, an amazing achievement!! :)

Basically I want to lose this weight as I want my life back. It has been stopping me doing all the things I should be doing, having a social life!! I don't go out much at all as I am never comfortable in the way I look so it was time to change. I feel awful, I look awful and I want to look...

I'm going it alone too as I can't afford the meetings. I have been dieting on and off for around 16 years so I know what to do. I have the ww scales and points calculator and I have created spreadsheets to track my points and food diary, this really helps. I also told everyone that I am...

Just hang in there. I stayed the same last week and that was the 4th week. This week I lost 1.5lbs. It will show next week on the scales. :)

And you too Beasty. :)

I am loving the groups category this year which makes a change for me. Not liking the Overs though.

Lost 1.5lbs this week! :)

After staying the same last week, I lost 1.5lbs this week. :)

Ages to wait!!! :(

I am a season ticket holder for my local team - Dundee United. Never miss a home game. :)

Fire

Wizard of Oz and Grease were the 2 films I watched all the time when I was a child.

My faves are: The Twilight Saga Lord of the Rings trilogy Dirty Dancing Forrest Gump Saving Private Ryan

Mine are: Gossip Girl 90210 One Tree Hill Vampire Diaries True Blood Grey's Anatomy Desperate Housewives Supernatural Entourage Glee Keeps me busy keeping up with all my faves! :)

What did you all think of the 1st week? I love Matt, though he was really good.

Love Twilight, can't wait for the next movie.

Thank you. I am proud so far but it is hard. I stayed the same last week so upped my exercise. I have an underactive thyroid so I assume I am going to lose weight a lot slower. I just need to hang in there this time as I have a long way to go.

I'm back after a long absence but never got going in here. My weigh in is now Mondays. :)

Hi everyone, I joined a year ago but never got my diet going until now so I am back. I started at the end of August and have lost 11lbs so far. This time I am determined to succeed after many years of failing.

I can't afford to go to the classes but I have a zumba dvd. I tried it for the first time last week and boy it's harder than it looks. It really gives you a good workout and it's so much fun! :)

Anyone else doing this? I just love it, it's so much fun. :)

All the time. But I do most of my exercise at home so it's not bothering me too much.

Everyone says he is a handsome boy. He's even got a little beauty spot on his nose! :)

Introducing my boy Mac who is 3 years old.

Never got to see Michael in concert, so dissapointed. What an entertainer, there will never be anyone like him.

Does anyone know the points for Asda's mini choc chip muffins that come in a tub of 12? They weigh around 30gms each. Thanks.

My weigh in is on Wednesdays. :)

Hello everyone. Just found this place through google. I have just recently started weightwatchers for the zillionth time but this time I am determined to succeed. Recently discovered I have an underactive thyroid so it's making it a little harder but I've been told it's not impossible. Look...
