Hi everyone! After saying im going to start SW for ages, i have finally done it.... But its only day 1 and im finding it really hard! The main issue is evening meals for the family. My hubby does most of the cooking, and although he knows how to cook, he can only do it if there is tonnes of...

Thinking about starting slimming world..Any tips?? Hi Everyone! Well, im thinking about starting to do slimming world soon, but i would really like your views and advice. Ive got a fair amount of weight i want to loose, and i know its not going to be easy. I have done weight watchers before...

Hunny, slow and steady wins the race! You are doing so well, it really seems like you have broken the bad habits that made you gain weight in the first place. To have gone so long and been so good you deserve a Medal! Keep it going, and if you do reach your first goal by christmas then you can...

Gained this week :( but only 0.8kgs, and to be fair i havent been trying recently, money is a little tight at the moment, and as fruit and veg are soooo expensive im having to go without :( which means im eating basic low cost food which is also high in calories, not a happy bunny but hopefully...

Hi, how did the painting go? did it help? I lost 2 lbs this week, quite happy with that! xxx

Hello!!! Long time no speak!!! Ive had 2 weeks of not dieting because of moving house and then my mum being on holiday, ive jumped back on the scales today, expecting to have gained over the 2 weeks, but im quite impressed with myself- ive lost 3.7lbs!! I have no idea how that happened- ive been...

Hiya, I cant beleive it, this week i have lost 3.7lbs! Think im getting the hang of this dieting thing now! Things are going to be a bit rocky for a couple of weeks now though because i have to move house, so i think some days its going to be a case of grabbing what i can, when i can rather than...

Well weigh in for me today and i gained 100g. (0.2lbs) So a tiny gain for me today. Im not happy, but its only small, and i had a weekend out this weekend so im not surprised, to be honest i thought it might be more. I seem to have started with a sore throat this morning, i hope its not the...

Home made popcorn isnt too bad. A small touch of olive oil in the bottom of the pan, put the corn in and wait for it to pop. I cant remember the weight but i eat around 2-3 points worth (i have my own portion) I havent had any alcohol for the last few days, but i am trying to save myself for...

mines ages old, probably about the same as yours. It wont have some of the newer menu items but it gives you the general idea. No point in wasting money on a new one, unless you regularly eat the things listed in the new one. The other opition is this website ukladyluck1 its kind of an online...

do you have the eating out guide?? I keep it with me all the time, its great- especially when your with a group of friends who decide its Mcdonnalds for dinner, it means you can stay in your points- would definatly recomend buying it. xxx

riotgrrrrl, i would wait until wi before you reduce your points. Do you go to meetings or just do it alone? Last time i was dieting i did the same as you and dropped a point right at the begining, the leader told me not to drop the point right away and to keep using it for a couple of weeks, so...

Well I am sooo surprised... a loss of 2.4lbs today! :D:D:D:D:D:D I really wasnt expecting anything because of the trip to albania, so im happy with it!

Hi everyone! Did you all have a good Easter weekend?? Mine wasnt too bad, im back from Albania in one piece (just about! :)) Obviously the healthy eating went out of the window, but i did find that i was only eating when i was hungry and not 'just because'. Ended up with a tummy bug for the...

Im off to the In Laws to day- just weighed and..... 3lbs Loss, Im really really happy with that! This is the first tim in 2 years that im below 90kgs in weight, so im feeling on top of the world and really motivated!! There are no supermarkets in albania, so i cant shop for myself, the people...

Dont worry about that extra 0.5lb, it will come off next week! Unfortunatly i cant make any 'good choices' when im with the inlaws, everything is home baked, so i have no idea what goes into it. The meat over there is sooooooo fatty you would not believe! They make a kind of soup with the...

:happy096: 1.5lbs is really good! especially since you've not been so well. I had my WI on thurs, thats when i lost. This week i have taken your advice and tried to use low GI foods and i really have seen a difference in my hunger levels, especially when i eat bread, i am feeling alot less...

Hi Ladies, how is everyone doing? Did you all have a good weekend? Mine hasnt been too good :cry:, went over points yesterday and on saturday- only by 2 each day- but its enough isnt it. the problem im having is coffee! If i go to someones house and they offer me a coffee, they tend to use full...

OMG thats awful! the only thing that can make it better is to know that there are some good honest dentists out there who dont hurt you (well, not intentionaly anyway!) so hopefully you can find one, can your friends reccomend one? Always good to go with a recomendation i find. Good luck with...

Thanks ladies! I think your right about the metabolism thing. Ive had a bit of a 'day off' today- kept to my points most of the day and then had a bit of extra dinner (just needed to forget how many points was in everything for a few hours!) Im going to keep at it- but i dont think im up to the...

Thanks, and the same to you! Im sure if your determined enough then you will do it!! Lots of Luck! xxx Size102b, as you can see from my ticker, i have lost 1.5lbs this week. Im ok with that- wish it was more, but it looks like this is going to be a slow one! With milk im having Skimmed milk...

Ok, ive been naughty...:(...I jumped on the scales, just for a sneeky peek. Big mistake. Ive only lost 200g so far this week, and ive been trying sooooooo hard. Ive been working out, eating all my points, drinking 2 litres of water per day, drinking green tea, i honestly cant think of anything...

well, i dont think i completely over did it- i just dont know why?? i was feeling fine, i had fixed myself a high point dinner and i think i didnt spread my points out well enough for the rest of the day, if id have had something like 0points soup, salad and maybe a 2 slices of bread for lunch...

oooohhhh! yummmy! that sounds great thanks! xxx

Hi everyone, Had a really bad day yesterday :break_diet: i was soooo hungry all day and nothing seemed to satisfy me :( I kept picking at little things and thinking, ah its only a mouthful, it'll be ok. Im really upset with myself for it, and on top of that i have done hardly any excercise this...

Hi Girls!:grouphugg:and :welcome2: to the new comers to our little group! Well done size102b!!! :woohoo:you've done great! isnt 2lb per week what they recommend for loosing the weight and keeping it off?? Wait till the kids go back to school and then get on with that DVD, i always have to...

Morning Ladies! How is everyone today? did you have a good weekend? My weekend wasnt too bad, nothing really interesting to report, went over my points on saturday, :break_diet: But have bought green tea as someone told me its really good if you are dieting, so hopefully it will balance...

OMG!! Thats the worst thing ive read in a long time. Its the kids i feel sorry for, how is that little girl ever going to know what food is good for you and what is bad?? And the hubbys just as bad, i think if she got rid of the him she would change her mind. shocking.

ohh, yumm! i managed to get cajun pepper from the supermarket, im guessing its the same thing?? xxx

im ok today, sorry to hear your feeling yuk! :( Me and Izy are just sat eating lunch, shes having pizza and chips (friday treat) and im on tuna slaw on melba toast with points free raw vegies. quite yummy really! The sun is shining here today, might try and get out for a walk later if ive...

Thanks! that sounds perfect, im gonna look in the supermarket for cajun seasoning, think that might be a bit of a problem, but could you tell me what herbs are in the seasoning packet, maybe i can buy them seperatly. How many servings does it make? xxx

What do you mean you wish you could loose 3lbs every week... you lost 6lbs this week!!! lol!! Izy loves the meatballs, so if you make enough give them to your kids aswell, im sure they will like them, it saves having to make 3 different meals at dinner times, they freeze as well. And yes, i...

Ok, so i weighed a couple of hours early.... I lost 3.5lb (1.4kg) :p :scale: I think thats ok? If i can loose that every week i will be done before the year is finished!! Think next week I need to do much more excercise. So my aim for the week is to do excercise every other day for 30 mins...

Thats what ive been doing but it wont let me do anything?? Maybe i dont have the right size pics on my computer, i will try again in a bit. Just had the nicest dinner EVER! And thought id share it with you, mine was high in points (probably why it was so nice) but i think if you have lean...

how do i get a picture up under my user name??

Ohh, great idea with the beef, id never thought of that one! And in will definatly try the chicken pie idea. And i never knew that about olive oil! Why is it so high in points if its so good for you? The stuff we get here is amazing- especially just drizzled on a piece of bread even the cheap...

Alas, if it was only that easy! I call him my DH (darling Husband) but not married (yet!) Its a pain in the arse getting married when i have to get paperwork from england he has to get paperwork from albania and then we have to get it all together from the greek government. Alot of money, alot...

You go girl friend!!! xxx

thanks! I do many of those things already, i have a batch of 0 points soup in the fridge all the time! Im struggling with meat. Im cooking meatballs tonight, something the whole family likes, but because the mince is not lean 140g is costing me 7 points, plus a touch of olive oil 2 points and...

Cold turkey. I went from 2 packets a day (between 30-60 cigarettes) to nothing. But you cant diet at the same time! :D I decided to ditch the cigs and eat what ever i needed to get me through the craving. Then after 2 months, start to diet. I read something on the internet, i really cant...

only you can change whats going to happen. Do you want one? or is the band a last option? If you dont want one, then you need to stay positive and change your lifestyle, maybe join a gym or an excercise class once or twice a week, if you too embarrased do the same as me and prance around the...

Hi everyone, Im living in Greece and i cant get alot of the products in the supermarkets here that you can in the UK. I cant get any of the WW branded products, i cant get low fat things (only low fat Greek Yoghurt). Things here are not pre-packaged, so if i want meat i go to the butcher...

size102b :happy096: ok, i just figured out how to use all the different smilies! well done 6lbs is great! xxx

sorry only just spotted this one.... I think its right, i use the slider thingy, 30 mins high intensity excercise and im 14 stone :o so i make that 5 points. Its ok anyway, that day i only used an extra 0.5 points- im trying to be extra good for my first week. :angeldevil:

hi everyone! Sounds like everyone is doing really well. nik86, dont worry about the fruit if you dont like it- snack on carrots/ celery etc and its less in points! My first day is going well, ive just done 30 pump with Davina MacCall in my front room so got 5 extra points- im knackerd now so...

dont let it get you down, I do ww at home as well and if i have a bad 'moment' then i have to mentally kick myself and promise that i will do more excercise/ cut down on points. My advice would be to cut 1 point out per day next week if you can and to do a small amount of excercise each day...

Well, im gonna give that one a go tomorrow! It sounds great! I cant do better than 15points per recipe, but this one is from the ww cook book and is yummy: 18.5 points per recipe (2.5 per serving) 3 x 15g whole wheat crispbreads low fat cooking spray 400g low fat soft cheese 3 eggs 3...
