Hi everyone, I'd love to join in too please :) After a few failed attempts at attending groups for both sw and ww, I was mistaken for a pregnant person on friday night *sob* so now I'm determined to shift my spare weight. As the groups haven't always helped me in the past, I'm going to give it...

Hi Jillz, good on you for fighting to break out of the complacency circle :o) Here's to a better week this week for us both x

Yoo hoo I'm back! I have had a right hectic week or so with family illness, baby nephews in hospital and my DS still suffering with his chest :o( (you lot will all be thinking I'm a right drama queen with all my disasters, lol.) I have been totally off plan with all the toing and froing to the...

Thanks for asking after him Jillz, we've been back to the doctors this morning and the GP is happy that he has not deteriorated at all and thinks his chest is starting to get a bit less wheezy. you can still hear him wheezing with every breath though, poor mite. He's starting to get used to...

Thanks Nissi and Jillz for your encouragement and support as always - it is much appreciated :) Well I've lost another pound!!! If I have been eating over my allowance then I must have burned the excess of whilst ds has been pulling all nighters! I'm so relieved not to have gained - I wouldn't...

Well done Jillz on getting back on track after your weekend away! Hope you're having a god week x

Thanks everyone! sorry I've not been about but my little baby has bronchitus :( there have been sleepless nights a plenty round here, let me tell you!! I have managed zero exercise this week and have ate as best I could with what I had in the house as shopping has been impossible with my...

Yeah - another 1lb off! :happy036: I'm so pleased as I have had a funny old week, what with feeling as though I'd lost my way at the start of the week, then the break in etc. I've had a hectic day with the kids today with it being half term. I managed to go to the 9.15am meeting so treat myself...

Thank you both for the hugs :) The insurance assessor has been out today and they are going to replace our french doors with more secure ones. I just don't want to live here anymore but the housing slump has wiped out most of the equity in our home so we would struggle to get a deposit to be...

I agree with everything Nissi has said - wise words as always :) You let your hair down for the weekend and now you can get back on track and pull it back - even if you do end up with a small gain this week, you know you can get rid of it next week and one weekend off won't undo all the hard...

:thankyou: Nissi, I will definately give porridge a go for breakfast. Well I didn't get to eat my pasta last night as we were broken into yesterday evening. Luckily they didn't get away with anything and no-one was hurt but it has really scared me. Dh had walked up to his parents earlier in...

Oh my goodness!!! Why do I always hit the half a stone mark and then struggle so much? Why do I get my first silver 7 then feel like I'm losing all my willpower and motivation???? I have tried so hard to stay on track the last couple of days and whilst I've managed to avoid any big disasters, I...

Hope you have a fab weekend Jillz! You deserve it after all your hard work. Your new dress sounds lovely, just my sort of thing. Well done on the 2.5lbs off :D it would have been easy to get disillusioned by the 0.5lb gain the week before but you didn't! x

Thanks everyone :o) I couldn't post yesterday as it as so hectic! I was at ds's music and movement group in the morning, then we went for a walk to build come activity points (it was FREEZING!), then we were at baby massage. Then it was off to collect dd from school and karate for her! By the...

Sorry to hear your IBS has been playing up Jillz :( especially when you discover something you enjoy is a trigger. You are doing so well to maintain the positive attitude though and I hope you are rewarded at the scales this week. Whatever the scales say though, your body shape must be...

Thank you so very much everyone for all of your comments, support and motivation - there are all very much appreciated:bighug: I LOST 2.5lb!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooooo chuffed and think it must be down to the additional activity I have done this week, as well as how good I was every day other...

Thanks for all you replies :) The soup was ok, not the tastiest I've made but it was certainly edible so I can't complain. We had a fab night out on Saturday and I was very good food wise, filling up on salad. I was not so good however booze wise and, saying as I hadn't really had a proper...

OMG today has been so much harder than I was expecting! I have gone from feeling so full of energy this morning to be being so tired I could cry. I have just gotten the kids settled (dd was being a right pain in the bum tonight!) so I'm quickly updating then I'm off to bed. All I have wanted...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I couldn't update yesterday as had a very hectic day, but all is still going well here! Ds slept from 8.30pm on Wednesday night until 5.30am yesterday morning so I woke up feeling like a new woman! As we were up and organised at a decent time I ended up...

Well done on staying motivated after a disappointing weigh-in. It's so easy to get dis-heartened when you know you've been good but like Nissi says, your monthly cycle and your tummy trouble are pound to have contributed to the gain. Just imagine if you'd gone off plan like your friend, you...

Thanks for all of your encouragement Jillz, AmandaT and Slim-Kat - it keeps me motivated (i.e. on the straight and narrow, lol) to know my diary is being read :D It's also nice to know I'm not alone in the sleepless nights department. I never appreciated before just how hard it would make...

Well I lost another pound! I'm very happy with another pound off but I would have loved to have lost another half to get my silver 7 and meet my first goal. Not to worry, I'll get that other half off this week!!! I ate well today but had chip shop chips for tea - oops! I decided that weigh...

Another 1 pound off for me! I was hoping for a pound and a half to get my siver 7 but a pounds better than nothing!

Hope your tummy settles soon Jillz. Happy shopping for your new, smaller trousers! x

Hi Amanda Wishing you all the best for your first weigh in this week - it sounds like you've made a fab start! x

Mmmmm that Stew sounds delicious I think I'm going to try and make that this week as I could do with shaking things up - I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut lunchtime wise; either eating a ham sandwich or having an omlette. Well done on being so organised for your day out - it is that kind of...

Thanks for the jeans suggestions Jillz - I have a Debs at the local shopping centre so will give it a try. I've not been able to update my diary for a couple of days as my internet has been playing up but I am happy to report I have stayed pretty much on track. I have had a really tough...

The graphs sound like a great idea Jillz, maybe I should try and do one? Hope you and DD have a lovely day tomorrow and well done for planning ahead - I think I would crumble if someone suggested a chippy tea to me :o) I passed the chipshop yesterday lunchtime on my walk and it was only the...

Well a very tired little me got up this morning and resisted the urge to have a huge bowl of DD's chocolate weetabix. Instead I had a cereal bar and a strong coffee. I knew I was going to a friends for lunch and luckily she had bought some fresh tomato soup for us so I didn't blow my points...

Yes, it makes total sense and has totally kept me on track today! My little darling was up no less than 4 times last night to be fed. He must be having a growth spurt and I'm clinging onto the thought that *it is just a stage* haha.

Well another day, another wrestling match with my willpower not to inhale a family sized bar of chocolate, lol. My son (who is 3 months) is still waking once to twice through the night to be fed and that coupled with getting up and organised for the school run is leaving me feeling a bit of a...

Thanks for your support Jillz. I have enjoyed reading your diary so I'm pleased you find it helpful - hopefully I will find writing mine helpful too. x

I would imagine so as it doesn't differentiate between fresh and dried in my book....good question though - I'd never even considered it and I only use dried herbs and spices in my cooking (and don't count them.)

Having previously always followed the 'old' WW plan, I really can't get to grips with the idea of an additional weekly allowance - I know it's silly but I feel so guilty dipping into them, lol. My leader said a lot of members have felt the same and it is a psychological thing to try and get...

Mmmmmmm I LOVE popcorn - thanks for posting this :D

Where to begin.....I originally got to goal in 2003 for my wedding and managed to maintain until I fell pregnant in 2005. I lost more weight following a truely heartbreaking miscarriage in early 2005, which was strange for me as I am generally an emotional eater so if I was a betting person, I...

1 and a half off for me :) That is 5.5 off in the two weeks I have been following the plan - going for my silver 7 this week!

Thanks for the lovely warm welcome :o) Another pound and a half of this week - woo hoo! x

Hi I'm new to the forum so just wanted to say a big hello :D. I got to goal in 2003 for my wedding and two children later, I'm back to where I started, lol. I re-joined my local class just after christmas and lost 4lbs last week on the new plan. It's taken a bit of getting my head around as...

Aaarrrhhh! Doing soooo well today but desperate for cheese and onion crisps! Just know I'll gobble the packet in less than a minute then loath myself so am trying so hard to resist!!!! Need to save syns for alcohol! Breakfast - Hi fi bar (HE B) Lunch - Jacket potato with chopped salad and...

Well I'm back and another 1 and a half pounds lighter - yippee! Had a very busy couple of weeks trying to finish an essay and cram loads of work in so have managed on the plan some days better than others BUT I'm proud of me as have managed a loss when I've had no spare seconds to really give...

Oh I've been there so many times and kicked myself for pushing the big 'self destruct' button when I know how important losing this weight is to me then when other people tell me they have done it I can honestly say to them "don't feel bad, instead feel good about what you've achieved so far...

I'd say go for it, you've nothing to lose but that 1.5-2 stone! Like you I haven't got loads to lose and have a super hectic life but have found the extra easy plan particularly easy to follow. I've never gone hungry and just love my group as they are such a giggle and very supportive. Wishing...

Well done you Shrimpy! You've every right to feel proud of yourself and celebrate your achievement! x

Awww I quite like him, he is always smiling and looks so happy and cheerful - he reminds me of an eager little puppy! I think small doses would be the way forward though, I think he could be a bit 'much' after a while x

I was on cerazette prior to ttc my daughter and I fell pregnant the first month after stopping it so it didn't seem to hang aorund in my system for long but I know others have had a different experience. I would have the occassional * week but it was much lighter and shorter than when not on...

Hello, been somewhat AWOL this week! I had my weigh in on Wednesday and was really pleased to have shifted 2 and a half pounds - woohoo! My mum (who I roped into going with me) lost 4 so she was really pleased with herself to. We had a good laugh at class and I left feeling really motivated...

Wishing you lots of luck - you sound really motivated and prepared so I'm sure you'll do fine :) x

Well done everyone! This was my first week weigh in and I've lost 2.5lbs! x:D

Well another day is done and I have managed to stick to the plan. I've felt a bit wierd today though - bloated and full of gas :( not sure if it's down to the stuff I've been eating?! I had a hard day at work - ended up having to finish an hour late and am feeling a bit stressed. Ususally I...

Pleased you got your card replaced with your data. If I were you I'd cross out the line the weigh in person wrote today and replace it six rows down so you can add your other weights in...after all it's your book - you paid for it and why shouldn't you have a complete record of your...

Awww thanks so much for your replys Emzy22 and Vitfa, I really appreciate your encouragement. Well today has been a challenge to say the least! I took my daughter to the park to enjoy the nice weather and was aussalted by the smell from the chip shop and the sight of the lovely sweeties and...

Hi I'm new to the forum and really like the idea of keeping a food diary - I good place to log my thoughts, feelings and (fingers crossed!) progress! A little about me...I am a 27 year old mum of a beautiful 4 year old girl. I am also currently working full time and studying the equivalent of...

I am on day 6 of 100% and REALLY proud of myself as usually by day 3 or 4 I've lost the plot! x

Oooh I feel like a bit of a swot - my first 'go' and I got 10! x

I'm another fan of the Dove moisteriser with self tanner. I find it builds a tan quite quickly (i.e. can notice a difference the morning after I've applied it) and it goes on evenly. It's also been kind and gentle on my skin as I can get a little bit of excema on my legs and it doesn't...

Wow, what a fantastic achievement - congratulations and hope you enjoy your curry! x

Mmmm my favourite food (and it's making my mouth water just thinking about it) is chicken tikka masala from my local takeaway. I would usually order it with onion baji, chips and garlic naan! I was looking at the new curry cookbook in the class this week and thought it looked really good -...

Oooh I'm new to the forum and this is a really interesting thread. I'm about to qualify as a social worker and work for a children's charity :0)

Hi everyone I'm a new member to the forum. Since my daughter was born 4 yars ago (where has the time gone?!) I have been trying to lose the same stone and a half! I have done WW and SW but haven't really properly stuck to either however I've now roped my mum into going to SW class with me to...
