So glad the site is saved :) Welcome back!

Hi skinnymini, sorry to hear that - I think it's pretty natural to react like that when you get upsetting news though - I'd probably do the same. Maybe get a lot of WW choc/dessert stuff in to minimise the damage? I used to head straight for the WW frozen banoffee desserts, and maybe go for a...

Thanks for the headsup. Mmmm salt & vinegar sticks :)

Soya Beans!!!! My favourite veggie ever, French onion soup, cheese (anything strong-tasting), liquorice, a cream tea after a looooong walk :)

I've tried a few things in the past: I had a charm bracelet and added a new charm each time I reached 7 lbs, but it got a bit expensive (which is both good and bad!). I also used to colour-in blocks on an Excel spreadsheet each time I lost, which I think was the best motivator for me (I'm a...

The End of the World - The Cure

Can't say for sure that it aids weightloss for me, but sipping green tea with jasmine makes me feel very calm and therefore maybe a bit happier? and more likely to do something positive? It's pretty fragrant aswell so you can just sit and breathe it in.

Try not to get too down about it - you'll do it! Your little one is obviously doing a good job distracting you when she's at home, can you distract yourself with something else when she's at nursery? Going for a walk, or gardening or organising some things? I'm working from home at the mo and...

So far: Submarine and Pirates.

Well done that's ace!

Thanks so much for the link. Looking at the chart I'm starting to realise I wasn't as big as I'd thought when I was a "normal" weight.

I'm revisiting The Bangles at the moment. They still rock! :)

Rescue animals are the best. I've lived with two rescue cats and an ex-racing greyhound and they were all great :)

Just been and eaten a whole packet of Waitrose Oatflake and Raisin Cookies! That's 16.5pts for a packet of 12 :( Looks like I'm going to be eating dust and twigs tomorrow :doh:

Just the usual pint of Robinson's this morning, although all the tea drinking has probably cancelled that out by now :rolleyes: Don't seem to have much of an appetite today, just made myself a big bowl of fruit and fromage frais, and I can't eat it :( Oh well, points'll carry over thankfully...

Not sure about how the changing groups thing works, although when I was going to classes I dropped out of one group and started afresh at another without paying a fee (but I think I got away with it by re-signing up as a new member). Well done on the 3.5lb loss, that's ace! :) I'd almost...

Not to sound too like a character from Little Britain, but "ooooh, they're GORGeous!" :)

I was wondering that, as it'd be cheaper not to mention a lot lighter on the points without the almonds. Might give it a try.

Hehe I've seen people doing this, I probably do it but don't realize. I was being really judgemental at the checkout in M&S yesterday - there I was feeling smug with all my fresh fruit and veg, and the old lady in front had a whole conveyor belt full of cream cakes and potatoes (well I suppose...

ooh that's good, that for me aswell please Santa :)

Count me in. It's taken me all year to get this far, so I'm not going to expect miracles. I reckon I'd like to lose another 20 lbs by Christmas :innocent0001:

I don't follow the Lighter Life program or know much about it, but that was really interesting to read. It sounds as if LL covers psychological issues aswell as dieting, which sounds excellent.

Well, so far it's only the one recipe, but it's a start.. For anyone who's interested/who watches the programme Cook Yourself Thin, I have pointed up one of the recipes they used in last night's programme. Low-calorie Lemon And Almond Cake ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cooked by Gizzi in Fiona's...

My favourite breakfast to have is always several hundred cups of tea :) followed by a pint of Robinson's Fruit & Barley Tropical flavour, then: a) a bowl of Nestle Oats & More Almond cereal with skimmed milk, and then if I'm still hungry, a couple of Laughing Cow light cheese triangles. Or, b)...

I've only recently discovered this programme, but it's great :) I like the fact that it has people with real problems who need help (unlike some of the women that Trinny & Susannah used to makeover), and the fact that they're not afraid to show heavier women on the show, particularly during the...

Just watched this programme after hearing all the hype about it. Have to say I'm not all that impressed. It's like a cooking fashion show with all the posing and headshots of the girls laughing and swinging their hair over all the food. I might sound harsh, but I think I'd probably enjoy this...

Bread is my downfall (and cheese!), can't have either in the house (except for the WW bread, as that's technically cardboard) ;) I usually try not to have more than 4 or 5 slices of WW bread toasted per day. The WW Malted Danish seems to be slightly better than the WW White, and they do a...

Afternoon! :) I have to agree with the zero point jelly, just been to buy some little pots of Rowntree's Raspberry Low Sugar jelly today. It's not exactly very filling, but I think it's the physical process of sitting down eating something with a spoon that tricks my body into thinking it's...

0-point squash is a saviour! :) quite like the Apple & Pear Robinson's flavour aswell, although it can be a bit sweet. Tropical's definitely the winner in my book.

I drink Robinson's Fruit & Barley squash aswell, Tropical flavour (tastes like Solero's to me mmmmn) and zero points for 100ml serving. Have a pint in the morning after breakfast and it seems to do the trick to fill me up and tackle my old habit of just stuffing myself on cereal. I think if...

Thanks guys :) I'm a newbie to Minimins but not to WWs - dropped out of meetings some time last year and started again properly on WW using the online plan in January. 40lbs down so far, so it must be working :clap: I think I secretly enjoy the geekiness of managing everything on the PC, even...

Another Quorn-devotee! :D I could talk about Quorn until the cows (or fake-cows?) come home! :p My favourite Quorn-related foods are: - The Escalopes :eat: - Quorn Peppered Steaks (used to be Quorn Minted Lamb-style steaks, but they phased them out) :rolleyes: - Quorn Peppered Beef-style slices...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I just saw an advert on WW's site this morning for the "Monthly Pass Membership" (I seem to miss out on a lot of the new things/schemes as I don't go to meetings). £17.95 per month sounds like a good deal if it includes meetings subs aswell. I'm not really sure...

I think I'm hooked on Quorn Escalopes! Anyone else tried these? So far I have had: - Quorn Wensleydale & Blueberry Escalopes - Quorn Goats Cheese & Black Peppercorn Escalopes - Quorn Mozzarella & Pesto Escalopes The Wensleydale and the Goats Cheese ones are 5 points each though and you get two...

Hello :) I'm a newbie, so please accept my apologies if this has been covered before, but is anyone else (successfully) following Weight Watchers Online? If so, what do you think of the service/ food database/online tracker etc? I'd be interested to know, as I'd be lost with the online tracker...
