ANYBODY OUT THERE??! I lost the weight I gained last week, but technically my weight is the same as at the start of the challenge. How are we all doing this week? Hope you're all healthy and happy xxx

Everyone, you are all so, so supportive of me <3 It's been an interesting weekend - I reached the goal in my head of 12st 12lbs, and just couldn't eat properly. I think I knew that would happen really, I just didn't want to admit to it. I wanted to be like everyone else - lose a few pounds and...

<3 Minus x I am eating, don't worry :) Today I had watermelon for breakfast, a ham salad for lunch, I've been snacking on sugar snap peas, and my friends are coming round later with cake. So I'll have to eat some of that too. Dinner is going to be... actually, I don't know what dinner's going to...

Oh, Minus, I don't know why I'm in such a hurry, it's just an overwhelming NEED to be thinner tomorrow than I was today, except I will feel the same need tomorrow, and next month and next year, no matter how much I lose. I KNOW it's messed up, I KNOW it's a disorder talking, but right now, I...

Aw, Minus, you always say nice things to me, even though I winge on all the time. Thank you x I'm just sick to death of the constant battle I face, I just want to LIKE me and not have to worry about how much or weight I may or may not be gaining. You're right about everything, as normal :) I...

Urgh. Party planning, Birthdays and too much vodka is not good for weight loss. I'm truly, truly ashamed to report a 4lb GAIN this week. All I can do is hope its water retention and "food weight" and that it'll be gone by next week. Really sorry everyone :(

lol, thanks Minus <3 Disco was more than stiff, he was VERY hungover too lol. I DID feel good in my dress, with my hair up and everything and lots of people commented on how "Well" I looked. They seem to feel thats a compliment, but I hear "FAT". It was such a good night, I looked around at...

Pictures by izzywizz_photos - Photobucket Pictures!!!! I'm in the yellow... It was an awesome night, everyone had fun, got on and drank far too much! Went to bed at 3am, got up at 10am and discussed the much tent hopping which went on! Still not entirely sure who slept where, apart from...

:party0011::553: THE PARTY IS TODAY!!!!!!! :D AND it's sunny! :D

It's my birthday!! And the party is tomorrow!! I have no idea whats going on, several people have backed out, but several people have RSVP'd at the last minute - I can't keep track! OH is stressing for no reason. He's taken sole charge of the gazebos and garden which is something which seems...

so this morning proves how an ED never really leaves you. One of the children gave me a box of cupcakes to say thank you and goodbye. They were beautiful, pink and purple icing, glitter, stars, really really lovely, and did I mention, HOME MADE. I threw them in the bin by the bus stop on the...

Be creative, and don't explain! just post a picture of your mood, whatever it is!

:) the weather now says "cloudy". Which would be fine! I don't need blazing sunshine, just no rain! A sad morning, I said goodbye to one of my pre school groups, had to busy myself at one point when one of them gave me a massive hug and said "I love you big Izzy." *sniff* They keep giving me...

I've made a decision: It won't last long, but the point is, I've made it. I'M NOT WEIGHING MYSELF ANYMORE. Hahahahaahahaha, just writing it scares me. I'm finally beginning to realize that actually, as long as my clothes fit then whats the problem? People have been telling me this for years...

Good grief! I'm getting me some fish! Thats fab Madame! You must be really pleased, well done! :)

Mmmm, an unexpected afternoon off due to too much overtime! :) I've done sweet nothing, apart from get the rest of the drink for the ever growing party. And spend too much time checking the weather for Saturday. It now says cloudy but dry. I feel this is something I should just wait and see on...

Hey Kes, you can PM me your weight if your feeling shy about sharing, but all that really matters is your starting and finishing weight! Most of us post our weights up on here. BTW, are we going for Wednesday weigh ins this month? Let me know your preferences if they're different!! I never...

My dress is too big! This is both wonderful and terrible, I don't have the time to get it altered! Oh hell, safety pins it is lol Also, they predict HEAVY RAIN for Saturday. This is very, very, very bad for many reasons, and the village hall is too expensive. Bugger.

Thanks Pink, I know you're right :) Well, the treasure hunt is worryingly still quite vague. I think I'm going to hide the treasure around the garden and ask people to bring back 5 items in order to win a go at the lucky dip. I reckon it'll be better to have people doing it as and when they...

Hey, Dextermummy, It sounds like you've given your metabolism a bit of a shake up, Sometimes a few days of eating LOADS after a period of being strict freaks your body out and kablamo! Weight loss! Well done, you must have been pleased :) A fish week, Madame? That sounds interesting, do you...

lol, Madame, mine was SUPPOSED to be pink when I made it, but I figured it just didn't work... And wheres the fairy gone?? :O Thats just odd...

:) time for another line, I think ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The party is getting a little crazy numbers wise, every time someone said they couldn't come I just invited someone else and now there are 50 people on the...

Ok, in theory, you can click on the link, copy and paste to your sig... Banner Maker - Your Banner Has Been Saved

hmm, let me see if a different one works, bear with...

Thank you so much Minus :) I can relate to EVERYTHING you describe, and sometimes it does me good to remember that it's not JUST ME. Thats part of the draw to pro ana forums - don't worry though, my BF blocked them and I can't figure out the password lol. I smiled at the strong leg comment...

Ouch, Minus, thats horrid :( Did it make you change your ways though? A wake up call? Mine came when a child I was working with genuinely thought I had cancer. Her Aunt had died from the illness, and she thought I looked so pale, skinny and generally crap that I must be dying too. Can I also...

Hey all!! Welcome to the new guys and welcome back to everyone else. I have to admit to not knowing who's on my team right now - it's not been a great couple of days and I forgot to check! I will update my sig with the correct detail straight away though!! Lets go for two wins in a row...

I know this diary is getting whiny, but I need to get this out. No one needs to read the following, its pure, selfish, venting of feelings: I HATE my body, even now, after years of therapy, I struggle to look in the mirror and just see ME. I see my fat thighs, my wobbly stomach, my huge hips. I...

Right, today. I ate the following: Special K and strawberries An apple WW tomato soup and a sandwich made with ww bread, ham and extra light philli, A pink n white and some sugar snap peas A yogurt and some cucumber A slice of birthday cake (MORE work birthdays!) A jacket potato with flora...

ooooh, tell me! :)

Aw, you guys are sweet :) Well, I've made a decision about it - you're right of course, it's NOT really worth it, even though I can talk myself into believing it is lol. But I'm only 1lb away from dropping a point anyway, and you can "save" 4 points a day regardless, so I've decided to eat 19...

Thanks Minus :D I was really surprised as I've not stuck to at all this week :) Hmm, so, I only have two weeks left on my WW subscription, and I'm kinda feeling bored with it. I've lost my enthusiasm, getting lazy about tracking my points etc. I also have 2 weeks until my party and...

Binge eating disorder has recently become categorized as a genuine Eating disorder - your Drs should give you help and support, if they don't, keep on at them, or ask for a second opinion. It's not fair on you to have to go through this alone.

I LOST 1LB!!! :D :D :D

I'm a recovered Anorexic and, Yes, one meal a day WILL work. Until you hit starvation mode, then you will have to half your one meal a day to continue to lose, then, eventually, you will have to fast. Your body will begin to eat Muscle rather than fat and you will feel AWFUL!! These extreme...

ok, so here's the sugar withdrawal :( MASSIVE headache, REALLY tired and, and OH SO GRUMPY. Plus, I've just eaten 4 packets of light choices crisps. Luckily only 1pt a bag and I have lots spare today. I'm craving food REALLY bad, but nothing can stop the cravings. Actually, it's just occurred to...

So, after my binge on Friday, I've been a bit pre occupied with the amount of sugar I eat. Turns out its a lot. So I've decided that between now and my party I'm going to try and avoid refined sugar. So far today I have learnt that I don't like total Greek yogurt, cornflakes with no sugar on...

and, the thing is, how many people not dieting even REALIZE they've gained a lb? And yet, to us it can be the end of the world. Anyway, so this weight loss means that for the last three weeks or so I've been walking around yanking my trousers up all the time, and my bras are just useless. So I...

I had to do this in therapy, and wondered if anyone else would like to join in? It's good fun! x Dear Izzy I know you won't listen to me, because you won't believe a word of what I'm about to write, but you are just about to tip over in to something big and dangerous, and I want to...

Speaking as someone who works with kids, that really is very good! Also, yummy lol :)

So, I find that letting my feelings out online is really therapeutic and I've noticed a lot of forums have one of these threads to allow members to just, well, RANT! Something bothering you? Angry, upset? Let your feelings out here instead of on a tub of ice cream, trust me it feels good...

I'll do it again too :) I really enjoyed getting to know my team this month x

:) thats why I love Weight watchers, you can eat random stuff and still stay on track. I once had a full english - the works (Egg, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, Fried Bread, hash browns) and fried. I Still stayed in my allowance for the day and didn't get hungry!

Hey, you're both right about the gardening! I put into my activity tracker on WW and I burnt of 6 points! All that dancing with my new game as well, I've got 9 points saved up this week and its only Monday :D Just as well actually, cos I'm out for dinner with friends tonight, and then to the...

So, OHs birthday on Tuesday and he wants to go to our local Italian. I'm REALLY struggling to find points for things, does anyone have any idea of what sort of things are fairly low points? I like most things, but not seafood and nothing spicy lol. I was thinking of some pasta in a...

hehehe, we've lost......... 49.5 lbs! I am truly amazed at my team :) So, the feathers have dropped out, unless they would like to join separate teams to weigh in? we're just waiting on the butterflies?

Wow! Linda has lost 1st and 4lbs! Thats an amazing weight loss! A total of 49.5lbs. Is that right? hehe, we may have won this girlies :D

hehe, Minusfour, that IS my day off lol. It's all or nothing with me, so I may stop taking Fridays off, or I may change my Weigh day to Sunday, meaning I can't mess up over the weekend. I LOVE the Fairy bread bread - I forgot all about that stuff, we used to have it as kids! I also Like the...

So thats 31.5 lbs between us, with Linda's still to come? Awesome ladies :D Well done, I'm really proud of all of us! xx Oh, a special congrats to Madamlaminx for losing the most - though it was VERY close. I'll PM Linda - she may have beaten us all lol :)

Aww, Maybe :( Thats horrid! I'm glad you're feeling better now, take care of yourself sweet xx Could I please have everyones final stats so we can work out the total weight lost? Thank you! :) Heres the original: Izzy: 13st 6lbs Gizmo: 15st Maybe baby: 13st 8lb Madamelaminx: 15st 12.5lbs...

1lb gone this week :) urrgh, binged AGAIN today. It's like on weigh day I don't care what I eat, and then I just can't stop. I ate: 5 Rocky caramel bars 7 jaffa cakes 2 ice cream sandwiches 2 slices of toast with nutella 2 pots of chocolate custard I've done a scary thing though. I calculated...

Hehe, I love that the perfect place to find inspiration is a 5 year olds party! lol Let me know how it goes. So last night I realized that 22 people have confirmed and I haven't even sent all the invites out yet, so I was spurred on to buy some more bits. (pay day :) ) I ordered some Disney...

ooh, IDK! The feathers have had some problems with people dropping out, perhaps we'll see how many want to continue for July? Look forward to seeing your results x

Aw, I'm sorry Ria :( Would the remaining members like to join the other teams for the weigh in? I'm sure the others won't mind...

Aw, I love working with children :) Its maths week atm, and the older children are running a Maths cafe in school, with cakes and cream teas, all home made by each class. So, we take pre school in this afternoon, all clutching their 50p. Theres LOADS of cake and biscuits, and what do they do...

woah, Butterflies, your thread is waaaaaay long :) Just a reminder that SATURDAY is the end of the comp. I hope you've all enjoyed the challenge and the extra support it's brought :)

Hey Snowflakes :) Just a reminder that SATURDAY is the end of the comp! Hope you've all enjoyed the challenge and found the extra support helpful xx

Hey feathers, sorry to butt in on your thread :) Just wanted to remind you all that SATURDAY is the final count, as it were. Hope you've all enjoyed the challenge :D

Hey, everyone, I've just realized that SATURDAY is the big weigh in and end of the comp :( It's gone so fast!! I've not been around much lately what with one thing and another, but I hope you're all well and doing good ready for Saturday! <3 :)

So, moving on and drawing a line under last week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There's the line :) And now I don't have anything to say lol :) Oh, yes I do! My Pinata arrived today for the party! Its a butterfly and I <3...

Thank you, Minusfour :) I wish I had logged on to read your post yesterday. I'm ok now, but it does show that I'm still not "quite right in the head" as my OH said this morning (Don't worry, he said it fondly lol) But, it's not been a great weekend. Yesterday all I ate was a punnet of...

Oh, sorry, Pink and Minusfour, I'm very selfish :( I'll be in a better mood tomorrow. Thank you though x

Urgh. Should not have weighed myself yesterday. I sts this week, which is even harder to deal with, knowing that yesterday I was down a lb. How have I handled this? By binging. Both at breakfast and lunch. Heres the damage: Massive bowl of special k, ww yoghurt, 4 club bars, grapes. Lunch...

Aww, Beauty and the Beast is my favourite film of all time, I just love it. In my head, I'm Belle. Possibly just because we have the same coloured hair and similar names lol Sooo, tomorrow is weigh day. I've broken one of my rules and weighed myself today, "just to see". I shouldn't do that...

oooh, you're going to America? JEALOUS!! :D

IDK, promising to keep my diary and then not updating for 4 days - disgraceful! I've had a lovely weekend with the OH, just relaxing in the sun and getting burnt! We had a picnic on Sunday, Pizza Saturday night and I ate a bar of galaxy. All within my points limit! I really feel I've got the...

Hey everyone! :D How are we all on this fine and sunny day?? I got burnt lol, too much time in the wildlife garden at work :) I'm so proud of my team, we're all doing soooooo well! :D Wow, I'm in a smiley mood - must be the sunshine :D :D :D :D :D

Hey girlies, guess what?! I just weighed myself and I'm down 3lbs :D hehehe, thought I'd share with my team :) How are we all today? It's friday at loooooooong last... any plans? I'm a football widow tonight, so it'll be the wii fit while he's at the pub.

3lbs, 3lbs,3lbs!!! :D That well and truly makes up for last week! Hey minusfour, you should throw your own Disney party - It'll be AWESOME! Go on, do it! :)

WW bagels are yum for breakfast with just extra light flora, or lunch with cheese spread and ham. They have - erm, possibly 2points? Maybe 1.5 I forget now :/ Omelette with peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and a little half fat cheese. I LOVE pasta with the above veggies and chicken or quorn sausages

Hell, I'm going fairy light CRAZY!! It just fits so well with a Princess theme :) I've invited 40 ish people, Knowing that probably half will turn up, a few more if I'm lucky. I've never had a big party before, so I really hope it goes well. I'm having so much fun planning it all though. I'm...

Hehe, I had a ham salad with a small serving of pasta, was actually nice. I had a sugar free jelly for pudding and I don't want anything else, so I'm at exactly 22 points today :) Never thought I'd pull that off :) I made a princess castle cake once, it looked good from a distance, but my icing...

Hey all, I'm gonna post up my weight today cos I don't think I'll get chance tomorrow. I STS this week :( Never mind, I'm feeling MUCH more motivated now, especially now I got a Wii fit! :D Linda, your job sounds really "grown up" and complicated, you must be really clever to do that sort of...

6 points in a dipped flake. 6. SIX!!! :( There goes todays points allowance, and its only lunchtime. Mmmm, salad for tea. :(

HELLO?? IS ANYONE OUT THEEEEERRRE??? hehe, I can hardly comment, I've been gone too! My star sign is Cancer/ Leo (i'm a bit of a freak, born on the cusp!) I love music I can sing to, anything catchy, be it Nickleback or Disney :D

Thanks girlies :) lol, Pink, you make me smile! Yeah, he lost his job. What an idiot, right? And of course I'll put some pics up of the party - it might just keep me going with the motivation... The OH and I pooled our money and bought a Wii and Wii fit plus yesterday. I LOVE it, but OUCH! I...

I bought my "Belle" dress today :D http://lacer.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/veronique-dress.jpg?w=314&h=478 It fits as well, which is actually not as good as it sounds - I was hoping for the inspiration to slim into it. Nevermind, it was the only one they had and the only thing I'd found all...

Ok, shall we make it easy and post our losses up here each Wednesday? I lost 2lbs last week, which makes up for the 1lb gain the week before! :D If no one minds putting their losses on here after already sending them to me, that would be great, otherwise I'll pop them up tomorrow. Hey...

Hey all! Sorry, I'm back at work after half term - it's a bit crazy lol. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about weekly losses - how dippy is that?! I don't think Linda can receive PMs yet, so a Mass one would be tricky atm. How does everyone feel about email though? Then I can just forward it to...

H U N G R Y!!!! :( G R U M P Y!!!! :( T I R E D!!!! :( Grr, someone give me a family bag of magic stars, I WANT TO EAT! This sucks, I've not even got any points left. Don't know whats going on, I've eaten sensibly, yet I feel starved. Even my old standby of coffee and splenda isn't helping...

Ok, neighbour news lol! So the police returned yesterday afternoon and did a bit more shouting and poking about, but my neighbour was out. Then, his wife came home from a weekend away with their children. She was NOT happy. Phoned him and demanded he came home right away. (I was sat in my...

why don't you have REAL fish n chips tomorrow instead? I always treat myself on weigh day - its the longest time till you have to get on the scales again!! BTW, do you have a recipe for that? sounds like a very good idea!

Thanks, Minusfour :D Hoping most people will dress up, there's bound to be some spoil sports though lol. WW is GREAT as long as I remember to weigh my food :) Are you doing WW too? We had our picnic yesterday, and I was pretty good, though not perfect. I had an extra chicken leg and and extra...

Aw Maybe baby, thank you for your kind words :) It's not been easy, still isn't if I'm honest. I worry I'll not be able to stop, but I'm under the very good care of my GP and psychologist so I know I will be fine :) I never realised that CD had so many steps, I guess it's designed to enable...

I don't see why not, but does everyone measure? I know I don't, but am happy to if others want to do this... :)

Ok, Look at me, promising to keep a diary :D I'm doing weight watchers - lost 13lbs so far! I want to lose another 12lbs for 24th july cos I'm having a massive Disney princess party. I know thats kinda childish, but I never did anything like that as a kid, so now I'm doing it big time...

Hey everyone! Another lovely day :) maybe Baby, watermelon is the best, apparently you can freeze it too and eat like a lolly, but I've never tried it. SS is sole source, right? where you can only have 500 cals as well as those packet things? I have a list of low cal foods from my Eating...

yep, lets just use this one for the final weigh in and any general questions or important info anyone has, otherwise use the individual team threads :)

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY GIRLIES!! XxXxX :bliss:

Ok, here are the stats for team fairy: Izzy: 13st 6lbs Gizmo: 15st Maybe baby: 13st 8lb Madamelaminx: 15st 12.5lbs Linda: 14st 10lbs Thats a combined weight of 59st 8.5lbs! GO TEAM FAIRY!! :D

Izzy or Isabella (Just don't mention Twilight, I get kinda grumpy lol)

Have just spent an entire morning reading this thread. I actually cried at your account of your big day!! You did SO well honey, and you've been a massive inspiration to me. Thank you xxx

Thank you, Sparklebug xx We're all doing exactly the same thing at the end of the day. Good luck to you too!

thanks Linda! You can do it, I have a fat picture on my fridge, along with some thinspiration :) Helps muchly. Hehehehe, LOVE it Madame!! :D Lets give em a BIG surprise come July! We can do this girls GO TEAM! :party0011: :wee: :0icanfly: :winner:

Also maybe try alternating? One alcoholic drink followed by a 0 point soft one. Thats what I do and it works pretty well. Also helps with the hangover :D

Absolutely natty - it's a GREAT idea :D I meant it was annoying that Ria was having trouble sending PMs :D

thats annoying :( I noticed that the others have set up their own thread, perhaps you could do the same and have your members post their stats there? Very welcome to use this one of course, I was just thinking It would be nice to stop it getting so big that it's a nightmare to read back through :)

Hello ladies! :) I'm stealing the Snowflakes and butterflies ideas of a general thread :p Post anything you like here, lets all help each other stay on track!!

aw, sorry Melinaki, we're full now :( If 3 more people ask to join though, perhaps we could add to the teams? though those joining late would be less likely to win the individual loss prize. Ria, did you sort out your PMs?

OK, WOW! I think we are ready to start! I think it will be easier if team members PM their captains with their current weights - If you only weigh in once a week, just use your last WI! When Team captains have received all the stats, they can post the individual and COMBINED weight of the...

WELCOME everyone new :) Especially to my new team mates, Gizmo and Madamelaminx :D Determined_to_lose, would you like to complete my team?

IDK! I thought we would be able to just copy and paste but it doesn't work! Anyone wizzy with such things?

great! Kittywhite and Nic on Feather, Ria will be pleased!

hooray I have a team mate!! WELCOME maybe_Baby! Any diet, absolutely :) Also welcome to rugbykirsty, Kittywhite and Jennyonaplate Grab a team, Snowflake is the only one which is full :)

good idea ladies, we'll re-evaluate on Friday, shuffle teams if needed etc.

welcome motherof2! Would you like to make Snowflake up to a complete team?

Was going to say July the 1st and then take it from there if people are still up for it. But perhaps it would be fairer to say one month from when all teams are filled? Any better ideas? :D

Sammy, yours is beautiful! Come on people, we need members for the Feathers, Butterflies and Fairies. Who's feeling competitive?

It looks great on the avatar, I may steal that idea :)

grr, scratch the last post. Stupid left over KFC and my minuscule will power. Have just spent 30 mins on the exercise bike to try and undo it.

hehe Lorny, SO true lol. I may get some for snacklets, Can only think of pink n whites as low as that for biscuity things

go for it ria!! WELCOME, Queen of the dammed! Natty, thats it, but how did you do it? Mine won't paste on my sig :(

Ok so team snowflake stands as: Nattyclare - captain Rigby Maynie Still 2 spaces left WELCOME!!

hehe, they are indeed yummy :D Today: B Special k and milk 2 Muller light 1.5 L 2x ww bread 1.5 Ham 1 Walkers baked 1.5 Apple 0.5 D Ahem. KFC 11 AT Curly whirly 2 ww ice cream pud 3 23 - only one over, but had 2 saved from walkies :) I MUST eat more fruit and veg, not enough today. Funny...

of course! pick a team, any team...

okey dokey

well Natty, you can have Feather or snowflake? :)

here you are Sammy. Feel free to change it, it's just for now.

welcome!! Thats a team captain for each then :D

hooray! Pick a team ladies, you can be captains if you like as you responded first :) I bagsy team fairy though! I'm working on some better sig images as well. Anyone else in?

About time I started one of these, heres todays food: B: New york cinnamon and raisin bagel with flora lighter than light (3.5) Strawberries and splenda (0.5) L: Wrap (3) Stir fried peppers, tomatos, mushrooms (0) More strawberries :) (0.5) Tesco light choices lemon drizzle slice...

Are they nice / filling? Been thinking about trying them...

Bless you funky Mum! :D I stayed the same, which is actually ok - not as scary as I thought it would be! This whole experience is just one massive lesson for me, but I'm slowly getting out of the all or nothing mindset. Thank you for thinking of me, it's really lovely of you xx

My idea :) Team Snowflake Team Butterfly Team Fairy Team Feather Inspiring team names, all as light as air, each with a little logo to put in your sig. 5 people per team (this could change if lots of people are interested :) ) Weigh in on July 1st. The team with the most weight...

Thank you! :) I had a salad with some ham and ww danish bread. Thats 1.5 points which brings me in just over my daily intake. I guess its just about thinking things through. Thats th beauty of WW, it's so easy to adapt it on a daily basis. I just hope I can sort my mindset out for next week!

lean beef mince 5 points for 140g, according to the online tracker :)

weight watchers make yummy frozen puddings for about 3 points each. I have one after dinner if I have enough left, or for an evening treat. :)

Hey all! Ok, so I messed up BIG time last week between thursday and Sunday and as a result have spent the whole week desperately trying to lose the 2lbs I gained. I've got a bit obsessive with it, finding a few of of the ED tendancies creeping in. I've weighed myself twice a day since Tuesday...

Love this :) 3lbs to lose this week to undo last weeks disaster 5lbs to get to my 5% goal 16lbs to no longer be overweight 4 days left of work until the holidays :) 92lbs - A weight I must never be again 220lbs - Ditto! 7 Days until I get my first car!! :D :D

thanks for the continued kind posts guys :) Smirky, I'm not a teacher. they asked for a minimum of a child care based NVQ 3. It's always worth applying anyway though and saying in you application how keen you are to "undergo relevant training" Do you work with children? If not, a good way in is...

large portion of pasta (225g cooked = 3 points) Chicken breast (3) Courgette, peppers, mushrooms, red onion etc (0) Half a jar of ww tomato pasta sauce (1) This is MASSIVE, I mean It's easily enough for two large portions, but it only comes to 7 points. It really works for me :)

The last 4 days have been terrible. So terrible that I have GAINED 2lbs this week. I've been feeling run down with a cold, which for some reason makes me just want to comfort eat. Combine that with being on a course on Thursday and Friday (lots of free biscuits and cakes :( )Then going out with...

Aww, thank you everyone!!

hehe Jen, I've changed my mind - THAT may actually be a dream job!! It's working for action for children, supporting traveller families with young children. I'll have to educate the parents AND the kids, organize activities and offer parenting advise. Really hard but equally as rewarding, and...

Look out for the sausages, the cumberland ones are 1 point each, the bangers are 0.5 :)

Eating a celebratory Magnum and then realizing it contains 9 points. :o oops But I might have just landed my dream job, AND I got a signed poster of the lovely Derren Brown unexpectedly. so I guess that makes it ok. Doesn't it??? :D

well 500ml has 27.5 points!!!Hope it was a smaller tub :O

Do you think so? Wow, it's a good job I had lots of points saved up for this weekend then! LOL, weight watchers should make their own brand! I'd buy them!!

hehe, thanks guys! I thought I was being thick! Ok, heres how many I had: Strawberry dream - 1 cherry Cola bottles 3 Mini eggs 5 white mice 2 Peach jelly thing 1 Foam heart 1 raisins, about 6? Smarties I'd guess at 10 ish I was really careful! It's not unheard of for me to have 5 or 6 of each...

Anyone??!!

Interesting and very true, Millux! I have to say that weight watchers has forced me to reevaluate my own view on eating. When I was fully Anorexic, (I use "Ana" only as a shortened term, I to, find the personification of an illness disgusting) I would eat low calorie, high sugar foods (to...

Does anyone have even the slightest idea of points values?! Candy king don't even list the nutrition on their website! I had 100gs (exactly :) ) In my bag I had: Strawberry dream Chocolate raisins Mini eggs (I know these are 1 point for 3) Fizzy cherry cola bottles Smarties White...

Hey, thanks for replying! Its really interesting that so many people have read and not replied. I was worried I had offended people :o You both made some very interesting comments, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who wonders these things! It scares me how often an eating disorder stems from...

I HATE my scales, and yet I love them too :) Mine fluctuate as well, I weigh myself 3 times in a row and take the most frequent number. If its different each time I keep going until it says the same thing twice in a row. That may be a little obsessive though...

perhaps a compromise? Get my BF to hide the batteries until weigh day?! :D

I think it makes sense :) I just need to remember that healthy weight loss is a weekly and NOT a daily thing. I was trying to say that if one one day I ate double my usual points (because I saved them) then on that day I would eat more than is considered a "healthy" amount" of calories. If one...
