Hi! Welcome to the site! When are you getting married? We are celebrating our first anniversary at the end of this month. Good luck with your diet. We can support each other, if you like? :)

I've set myself a challenge to see how much weight I can safely lose in a month. I've got a big pool party coming up on the 1st of October and want to look great. I will share my progress and the tips and tricks I learned from my challenge in my dairy as well as on my blog - Blog posts.

Hi! I've been a bit busy this past few months. But I'm back. I'm doing weight watchers on my own from home. And the last 2 weeks I've done good - lost 4 pounds. But then this weekend came and I didn't have access to my food dairy. I thought I kept within my points. But then when I weighed...

Since I've actually been following Ww's the right way, it has been much easier to do! I've lost 2.5 pounds last week and this week in total! Here are my reasons to lose weight (hope they inspire you too): * I want to lose my tummy fat * To fit better in my clothes * Shopping is not fun to do...

Thanks! I'm feeling super motivated and I have this feeling that I'm going to succeed this time. I've got great strategies in place and feel really good about them. Here are some - * I'm only allowed to eat the number of points that I have available for that day and not go into a minus to...

Hi gals! I gained this week... We had cocktails before the fondue party and I got tipsy and enjoyed a few glasses of red wine too many. So I knew I was going to gain weight. How are the rest of you doing? I've set some goals for myself - I want to achieve my 10% goal weight at the end of...

Thanks! What veggies are nice for fondue?

Can anyone help me with my dilemma? I've got a fondue party tonight and I don't know what to do to still stick to my points. Any tips to help me keep the points down while having fondue for supper? Does anybody know how many points the fondue items usually are?

Sorry about making you want choc fondue! As far as I know, the raw foods will be fondued in oil. Not sure if there will be cheese or choc. (Hope there's choc!) I think I'm just going to eat a meal replacement bar before the party and then try and eat way less of the fondue. Hope ya all have...

I've been very lucky these 2 past weeks. I haven't gained weight this week after my extra chocolates on Sunday. My weight has remained the same as last week! Jay! I've just found out that we are going to eat fondue at a friends house on Friday - bad luck for my points. What would you guys...

Hi Nicola! Yes, the WW's hoops sounds yummy (wish we had WW's products were I live). I've got a few questions - * Don't you get hungry if you eat that little snacks? I eat at least 5 points worth of fruit and nuts everyday. * And I see you are eating most days low points - do you...

HI Guys! How are you all doing? I was naughty this weekend. I ate way too much chocolate! I just know I'm going to gain weight with my weigh in this week. But it was totally worth it!

Hi and welcome! How does the Cambridge diet work?

I've been so sick this past week that I couldn't even bother to stick to my points. But I've lost a pound anyway! Must have been burning lots of calories with my flu. Congrats to all the losses this week!

That's a good idea, joh. And Hi Carly! I Love your name Just an update - I was so sick this last week that I couldn't bother to track my points. But I still lost a pound this week! Maybe I was burning lots of calories from being sick?

The cooking class was a blast! And the food very delish! I think I'm rather going to make us something to eat for Thursday instead of ordering a seafood platter - just to keep the points down. I'm thinking about making mince tacos.

Hi everyone! I've had a lovely weekend and it was not to difficult on my points. Hope you all also had a relaxing and successful weekend. The curly wurlies sound delish! Yummm... My husband and I have a Indian cooking class this evening and I just know it will blow my points big time! I've...

No not at all! Thanks for the add, it's very nice of you. Good luck to you too!

Hi What is Lipotrim and how does it work?

Yes, time does go by quite fast these days. Good luck for the week, hope we all do well.

Thanks! Your baby is so cute!

That sound good! I think I should also get me goals like that.

My weight loss dry spell is broken! I've lost all the weight that I've gained this past 3 weeks (3.5 pounds). From now on it's only downhill. Hope all of you are also doing good!

I lost 3.5 pounds this week! My dry spell is at last broken. I've lost all my weight that I've gained the last 3 weeks. Plus I didn't have my heavy boots on this time I weighed in - think it also helped for almost a pound. Hope all of you also do so good this week!

Hi and welcome! Good luck with your weight loss. If you need any help or support with your weight loss journey, don't hesitate to ask me. We can be weight loss buddies! I'm also trying to lose some weight with weight watchers. But I can tell you, it can be real hard to lose weight. But...

Thanks you gals! Such good motivation. L.M.O - what type of small goals do you set for yourself?

How does the extra 49pp work? Where I'm from we still use the old points system. Wish they would convert, though... I had a wedding this weekend and it was difficult to know exactly how many points something were. I thought I sticked to my points, but apparently not. I gained another pound...

Pleasure, Karen! I've weighed in yesterday and I've gained another pound. But I'm convinced that it was my heavy boots that contributed to some of those pounds. When I weighed myself at home with and without my boots there was a big difference. Next time I will take lighter shoes along. The...

I agree! I realized this morning that the my next 12 weeks with weight watchers will go easier and I'm sure I'll be more successful. The 1st 12 weeks were just to get used to the program, change my eating habits and iron out the kinks and learn some new strategies. I know now how to deal with...

Thanks for the comments. SO far It's been up and down. I've done good in the beginning with weight watchers and then I've gained a few here and there (especially over the long weekend). Special occasions,like my friend's bachelorette party this weekend are also very difficult. It is a bit...

I weigh in on Thursdays at weight watchers. I've been going up and down. This past week I thought that I sticked to my points and I exercised, but today I gained a pound. I had a bachelorette party for my friend on Saturday and there were only unhealthy things to eat. I tried to avoid eating...

HI Tom! Welcome to the forum! What are you going to do for exercise and diet? I'm following and loving weight watchers

Here to lose - were do you get your stunning tickers? Cybachiq - Welcome! I also find it great to go to group meetings. I am on weight watchers and that accountability makes all the difference (even though it is still very difficult with all the ups and downs.

looks yummy! I was just in the mood for some seafood

I've seen with my husband that it's better not to ask men what they want, they never know and almost never cares. I think most men are quite laid back like that. So I would just surprise him with a nice home cooked weight watchers meal. The complete cookbook has some really nice recipes in it...

Hi and welcome! What's Xenical? Some sort of a diet pill? Good luck with your weight loss!

HI Dan! Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your weight loss efforts.

HI and welcome! I'm on weight watchers and I love it. Good luck with your weight loss!

Hi and welcome! I'm also on weight watchers! I've lost 8 pounds so far. The key is not to focus on losing weight, but rather to make sure that you always stick to your points. But when I do go over, I just make sure that I make it up in the next week (but this shouldn't be done too often)...

Hi and welcome! Good luck with your diet and your weight loss. I've seen two of the most important things are to be motivated and to be very disciplined with yourself.

Hi Everyone! This is my first thread and I hope that you will support me. :) Here is my story: I've managed to keep a decent weight these past few years. I exercised regularly and I ate right and it worked for me. Until I started chronic medicine that made my metabolism slower and...

Hi All! I've been on weight watchers for 8 weeks now. IN the beginning it went well, but when I saw that I was losing weight, I thought that I'm losing weight and eating things I like, so I started to eat things I shouldn't at times that I shouldn't. And I soon found it hard to stick to my...

Hi! I've been on weight watchers for 7 weeks and have already lost 7 pounds. I really like the system. We can be weight watchers buddies, if you like? :) Good luck with your weight loss. I know we can do it!

Hi Ellie! What diet are you planning on following? I'm on weight watchers. It is really an excellent program to follow. The best is that you can still eat some of your own cheat foods - I eat more chocolate than I did before WW's. On a another note - I don't think losing 25lbs in 30 days...

Hi Beth! You've got a great goal to look forward to - your wedding! Such motivation will be enough to make your weight loss a success! And even if you don't lose all your weight in a year, you will still look great in your wedding dress. I gained a few pounds before my wedding, but I still...

Hi and welcome! Wow, 5 kids are probable a handful? I'm doing weight watchers and it's being great so far. The meetings especially helps. Good luck with your weight loss, I hope it goes well.

Hi and welcome! I'm so glad that you are so positive - that's the key to successful weight loss. Good luck!

I don't think you have to worry too much about spices, according to me, all spices are free. I am getting my weight watchers cooking books next week, I can't wait!

Hi and welcome! I've joined weight watchers because I am tired of gaining weight, losing weight and gaining weight again. I want to be at a healthy, sexy weight and stay at that weight - I think it is better that way. Good luck with your weight loss efforts, I know we can do it!

Hi and welcome! I'm so glad you're going to do it the healthy way! Pack your own meals to take with you to work to avoid snacking on unhealthy things. Good luck!

You look stunning! Congrats!

Hi! Welcome to the forum! That's interesting! Did the hypnotherapist work?

Hi and welcome Congrats on your loss so far! I'm doing weight watchers and I've also lost about 5 pounds in the first 2 weeks. Good luck with your weight loss, I know we can do it!

Hi and welcome to the forum! You've made the right move of joining an online support group. Why don't you join a weight loss group like weight watchers? I've been with them for 2 weeks now and it's great so far. I'm sure they will help you with motivation and emotional eating. Good luck!

Hi Michelle Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your wedding. I got married a little more than 3 months ago and I can tell you it is great being married! I am also on weight watchers! Weekends can be tricky. What I do is, I save points from my weekdays to use on the weekends. For example...

Congrats! You look great!

That's awesome, congrats!

Congrats! You look great. I can't wait to lose my weight

Hi and welcome to the forum I remember the good old student days, I enjoyed it so much. So much so that I studied for 5 years. It is very difficult to eat right while studying, but it can be done. Try to take your own lunch to classes. And if you can't do that, just make sure that you choose...

eat less, exercise more

I'm absolutely in love with Zumba. It is such a great and super fun exercise. And it makes me sweat and just melts off the calories. I would recommend it to any one.

Congrats on your weight loss, you look great! I've signed up for weight watchers today. I only hope I have as great success as you. If you have any tips that you give give me, I would be grateful. And good luck with the last wedding planning. I've been married now for 3 months, and I can tell...

Hi Sara Welcome to the forum. I'm going to join weight watchers this week. The thing I think works the most on such programs is the group meetings. I think it's very motivating and it makes you accountable. But if you really are short on money, you are sure to find that same motivation here...

Hi and welcome to the forum! I don't know what kind of diet that is, but it doesn't sound very healthy to me. And as you are hungry all the time and you can't concentrate/get motivated, you should maybe consider following a more sustainable, long term diet. I'm going to join weight watchers...

Wow, congrats! You look great

I'm also starting on Tuesday, so I guess we are doing this together. I've got my 3 month wedding anniversary on Sunday. Am going to make roast lamb and all the trimmings. Good luck for you! I'm sure we are going to succeed.

What program is SW? I'm going to join weight watchers Tuesday.

I'm in! My friend is getting married at the end of May and I would like to lose about 13 pounds by then. I've got my eye on a sexy knitted dress and want to look hot in it. I'm going to join weight watchers on Tuesday and am also going to gym my butt off from tomorrow. I've booked a...

Hi Welcome to the forum I am also thinking of joining a weight loss group, am going to check weight watchers out. I think that motivation (like the motivation you will get on this site), will make the difference. Good luck with your efforts!

HI! Welcome to the forum. I work from home and I also get cravings and hunger pangs. I just make sure that I don't have junk food in the house. And I snack a lot on fruit, nuts, veggie sticks (carrots,celery,cucumber and such) and fat free yogurt. That really helps me with losing weight -...

Hi PrincessDonna Welcome to the forum and congrats with your weight loss so far!

Hi and welcome! Sounds like you've got a solid plan. Booze is high in empty calories and if you cut it out, you will lose a lot of weight. And you've got the right idea to eat small healthy meals and to exercise a lot. Good luck with that, hope you achieve your goals.

Hi GeminiGal Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your exercise and diet regime. What helps me to stick to my exercise and diet regime is to keep a food dairy and to keep an exericse calender. My exercise calender is basically a normal calender where I write down in pen the exercises I want to...

HI and welcome! I've also done one Zumba class. It is tons of fun. And it is also a great exercise to burn calories. Tip - Take up your exericse days to 4 instead of two and you will burn double as much calories and lose weight much faster. Weight training is also a good idea, as it boosts...

Hi Welcome! You will get the support you need here. My dog went missing a while ago and I don't even know if he is dead or if he found a new home. Losing a pet is very hard. It's good that you found a new dog to ease the pain.

Hi! Welcome to the forum. You will get the support you need here. What's "SW"? Tip - Try to stick to a healthy and balanced diet that you can follow for life to help you lose the weight and keep the weight off.

Hi Welcome and good luck with your diet. Don't worry too much about your weight in the short term, rather have a look at your average for every two weeks and work according to that. That's what I do and it's working better for me.

Welcome Irish eyes I know how you feel. I've also felt very depressed when I found out that I've gained a lot of weight and because all of my clothes fits tight. But I soon became positive and I told myself that I am going to lose this weight, so it doesn't matter how I look now and that it...

That is a beautiful dress! I've also seen the one that I want. It's also a Maggie Sottero. Good luck with everything!

Helo Lolasmiles Welcome to the forum. Just break down that wall brick for brick and you will get through it!

Hi! Welcome all you newbies and good luck with your weight loss!

Welcome Ed Good luck with your weight loss!

Hi Rainstar! Welcome to the forum and good luck with everything!

Thanks all!

Hi Lozzy! I also love to exercise and can also not stand unhealthy foods. I'm so proud of you for also following the healthy route. Just keep on doing that and you will lose your weight. It may take a while, but you should be patient. And remember that you should change your exercise routine...

I love to go to the movies. I think it is especially the warm cinema popcorn that I love. And as I usually only go about once a month, I don't worry about having a small popcorn and a soda. As long as you only eat cinema snacks once on a blue moon, I'm sure that it won't harm your diet that much.

Thanks Sonya Good luck with your weight loss too!

Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself! My name is Suzie Parker. I strive to be as healthy as I can by eating healthy, nutritious foods, by going to gym regularly,ballroom dancing and also playing squash. I'm getting married in Nov 2010. So am hoping to tone up and lose a few pounds for the...

Thanks Rach, A dietitian is really worth it. Most of the times you only pay a lot for the first two consultations where she analyzes your needs and then set up your diet. After that the monthly visits are not that expensive. But if you really don't have money at the time, just eat healthy and...

Hi Rach! Don't worry, you still have plenty of time to lose weight. If you have the money available to consult with a dietitian or a nutritionist, I highly recommend it. It is an excellent investment and you will learn exactly what to eat and how much to eat to lose weight. The dietitian will...

Hi SacredSilence! I just wanted to say congratulations on your weight loss so far. You look stunning! Can you give me some tips about what worked for you. What diet are you following and what exercise has helped you lose your weight? I also need to lose a lot of weight and need all the...
