KICK! - I need one myself lol. Have been so busy at work this week have been grabbing any rubbish to eat but back on plan today. Just hope that I can stay on plan. Hope you get your head back in the diet mode soon xx

Well done on the loss. It all helps.

Its a lovely dress and what a fab idea going dutch.

Glad you enjoyed your day. Today is a new day

Good luck for when you do it on your own. Need any help just ask - everyone on here is great. I found SW too restrictive in the things you could eat which is why I prefer ww - also ate too much on sw! There is a free app called value diary - you could download that. A lot of people seem to...

Fantastic. Well done. Enjoy the rest of your day

Fingers crossed for your other half - dinner looks lovely by the way

Breakfast - 7pps (not sure if I'm too impressed with the ww bagel though) - toasted bagel with 2 bacon medallions and dry fried egg

Hi Margaret. The more the merrier. Glad you're enjoying ww

Well done

Looks lovely

Well done on the loss

First day ended in disaster. Got home from and son had decided to surprise me and cooked chicken satay with satay sauce. He also did a stir fry and chips to mop up the sauce. Couldn't tell him I was on a diet after he had gone to all that trouble. But bloody shell it was gorgeous lol. Good job...

Welcome jazz and good luck x

Have restarted weight watchers (again)! Need this to be the last time. Will post my food diary later when I have decided what to have for my dinner tonight.

Can I suggest you cut back on your carbs a little? I am diabetic and carbs of any kind are not good for diabetes as carbs turn to glucose very quickly so can increase your readings. Low fat foods also have a lot of added sugar and are often higher in sugar than the normal variety. I'm not...

Good luck and let us know how it is going

I've got slimming eats bookmarked and have for some time. Used to do sw and there are some great recipes on there and suitable for ww. Great site!

Just take one day at a time, its very hard sometimes but you will get there.

You should just do what you normally do and eat how you normally eat. Its a life style change and not a quick fix. I know I have a long way to go to get to goal. Remember that sometimes you lose inches and it doesnt show on the scales but it does catch up eventually.

Well done Vikki x

Good luck and feel free to ask if you need any help

Well done on your weight loss and your menu looks great.

Hi Kate, if a class would suit you better, then give it a go - you can always switch to online if it doesnt work for you or its not easy to get there. Crumpets are good on f&h so ideal for a eam snack, lol

Hi happybear, I am doing online only but you'll get lots of help here. Good luck and if you need to know anything, just ask

Well done

I was diagnosed t2 about 18 months ago and did a lot of research, visited a lot of forums, globally and not just UK. I did Atkins diet for quite a while and it was fantastic for my blood sugars (dont take any medication) but then other half was made redundant and couldnt afford to do it anymore...

I agree - its better to be on the safe side.

Thats something to look forward to and aim for. I'm sure you can do it. Good luck

You need some free foods to snack on. I'm not a big fruit fan but do red days mainly so have cooked meats as snacks, ham, etc

I'll join you,would love to lose at least 20lb by then

What a great idea! I'd like to lose 2stone

Thanks, I will go and check the site out and get myself some burgers and sausages.

I never lost with ee and find original days much better but everyone is different. Try mixing them up and see how you get on

I think an Iceland thread is a great idea, would certainly help me

Are all the Joes sausages still sw friendly?

What lovely food - and no, you couldnt not eat the crumle, good for your dad x

Well done on your weight loss and I hope you enjoy your evening x

Have you done all ee days? I never lose on ee doesnt suit me. I have to do original days to get anywhere with losing weight. Looks a really good menu though. Hopefully by the time you get to wi you will have a loss on the scales, sometimes sp's dont do us any favours x

Love the food, am always looking for red day ideas, xx

What a fantastic idea, think I will nick this, xx

Hi Vix, where in Brum are you?

Looks a good day Vicky x

Good start to the day x

Hi Tina Thanks for the welcome, just catching up on food diaries. EE has never worked for me in the past so after I go shopping Thursday night it will be mostly red days for me from Friday Sue

Looks like a good day

Hi Vicky I have done SW before but have just restarted today. Cant afford to sign up online as it is £60 upfront and there are no classes nearby either so going it alone for now until I can afford to do online. Sue

Sounds lovely. Have a nice day

You look great

Well done losing some more. Its nice when you can see for yourself that you are getting smaller. Its probably a combination of the lack of wheat and also carrying less weight that has made your knees and ankles a little better but its really good news for you. Its obviously working for you -...

Thanks for the welcome. My problem is that I dont like much of the induction vegetables so will stick to just a few items that I know I like. Sue

You certainly do x. I always try and avoid drinks and tinned veg containing citric acid as its said to stall some people. Will avoid tomatoes as much as possible for now then now that I know. I will be learning a lot from you all over the coming months but looking forward to getting to know...

Hi, I've only just started the Atkins diet, too. Keep at it, ask for advice, have a look at the food diaries and look at the recipes. I've only been on this board today and already received good advice.

Tonight's dinner 4 sun's I scooped the potato out of the skins to get all the yummy sauce. Did eat the skins though. Was lovely and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yum

The bottle wouldnt have got past saturday night with me, lol

Well done on the inch loss. Sometimes you do lose inches before the weight starts coming off. It has happened to me previously. You are obviously doing things right so keep up the good work.

You have to do what is best for you. Good luck with this change of diet.

Bl**dy typical. They're so selfish. Think we should follow by example lol

Ooh, they look lovely. Can you post the recipe please or is it on the WW site?

Thanks for that Serena. I'm missing my actifry at the moment as it needs a new paddle. Cant wait to get it back again. Only got white rolls and I cant eat white bread as its no good for my blood sugars so will probably end up with chips or jacket spud with the burger. Plus salad of course...

Have joined ww for the umpteenth time. Really need to do this as have diabetes type 2. Lost some weight since I was diagnosed but have put some back on. All my own fault. Tried SW but just couldnt get on with it, too restrictive on what you can eat. Some night I come home from work and just...

Oops - remembered now - it was the wendy plan.

I know the one you mean but cant remember what it was called but it was in conjunction with the old points sytem. Not sure if it would work with the new pro points system.

Hi and good luck with pro points. I have just restarted my propoints diet as have been messing about for ages now. You will find plenty of help on this forum.

Good luck

Firstly, well done on losing 2lb. Not everyone loses masses of weight at a time so this is a good result. Just try to fill up on free foods depending on what plan you are doing. Keep fruit and low fat yogurts to hand.

Hi Jess, just stick with the plan and you'll be fine. I've just restarted as have been messing about for ages now but really do need to do this for my health. Good luck

Good luck xx

Thanks Pete, thought I would ask as I always struggle with weight loss on EE.

This is fantastic Pete. Some brilliant recipes, will be trying some of these out without a doubt. Question for you, did you lose all of your weight doing extra easy?

Am going for a carvery tonight so will stick to the free stuff and new potatoes as am doing red day

Well done :)

Go the group where you are happiest. That will give you incentive to stick with it.

Good luck today. I too am doing it online and just restarted. Will be doing red days myself

You need to do what suits you best. Can work out expensive though if you still have to feed the rest of the family.

Well I am just restarting today doing mostly red days but you should see good losses especially at the start.

2 bacon, 1 ww pork sausage (1/2 syn), fried egg (1/2 syn) and tinned tomatoes

Can I join in please as I have 5 stone to lose.

Its a good diet with good healthy food. Hope you decide to give it a go.

Good luck Emily. We all lose weight at different rates but as long as its coming off then you are doing the right thing. You will get to the weight you want to be.

Thanks. Have downloaded this. Sue

2lbs is still a good weight loss. Well done

Thats brilliant. Well done

Hi Rachel, would love to join you. Have to lose weight for my health as well as my vanity. Would love to lose at least a couple of stone by October.

I'm in the same boat as you. I need something to get rid of mine. Will have a look around and see what I can find.

I'd like a buddy too - we can help each other along the way

I'll join you too.

Thats brilliant, well done

Hi Kim, have just restarted myself. I think on ee you can make things go further - pack your meals with veg (there are some good offers on at the moment and frozen is often cheaper too). Cottage pies, casseroles, that sort of thing can be made to go further as well. Good luck

Bacon joint, potatoes, carrots, cauliflowers, parsley sauce (got to work out the syns for this yet)

2 weight watchers sausages (1 syn), fried egg (1/2 syn), baked beans and 2 small wholemeal (HEB)

I have found that in the past I have lost inches before pounds so perhaps this is why the scales arent showing what is really happening to your body. If people are noticing, then you are doing good. Believe in yourself and what other people are telling you

What app have you got? I weigh myself daily too - cant help it, lol

I think trying different recipes each week is a great idea cos we all get stuck in a rut and tend to eat the same stuff all the time and this makes it easier to go off the rails. As for mullerlights I dont even like yogurts but have you thought about getting smaller yogurts, like the activia...

Extra Easy Breakfast 2 weight watchers sausage (1 syn) 1 egg, fried (1/2 syn) Baked beans 2 small wholemeal bread Lunch Bacon joint Potatoes Cauliflower Carrots Parsley sauce (got to work out the syns yet) Dinner - not sure yet

This thread is fab. Today I had small bacon medallions, fried egg (1/2 syn) on two small wholemeal bread

I binge eat and its really difficult sometimes not to give in. A lot of it is boredom and sometimes its just an urge

I weigh myself every morning when I go for my shower, wish I didnt do this sometimes

I find its better to not snack at all cos the more I have, the more I want. Just cant do moderation.

I have never lost weight successfully on EE - I need to do red days to get a result. Perhaps you could try mixing a couple of red days in during the week to see if this would boost your weight loss.

I drink a lot of water anyway but as I have just started calorie counting will wait and see what happens on Thursday when I weight myself. I had a proper cup of tea this morning and had three cups of fruit tea this morning and someone has just made me a proper cup of tea, yay! Really looking...

Hi Donna Have just started calories counting but I am definitely up for it Sue
