Hi Suze, Good luck with the challenge - I will be with you all the way and will update my details on here as soon as I get a chance..

I lost 3 stone with SWorld and then put it back on...the problem that I had with SW was the portion control and the amount of dairy foods that you can eat. I joined WW Propoints a couple of weeks ago and it fits better into family life, they eat what you eat and really dont notice the...

I am very happy to be a WW buddy as well...I have had health issues which I have used as an excuse too many times as to why I have not lost the weight. Great at motivating other people, but really need someone to kick me up the bum sometimes when I am having a bad day. So count me in :)

Hi, I re-joined WW on Sunday. Good luck with your journey and hope to get to know you all better as i need mega amounts of support to loose this blubber..:)

Hi I joined WW online on Sunday, I am 15st (heaviest I have ever been) and never want to see that number again. Good luck on your journey and look forward to getting to know you all better along the way :)

Hi Michelle, Good luck on your journey as well...happy to be your WW support buddy if that helps as well. :) I need all the help that I can get to do this, cos I am so not going to fail..:girlpower:

I am back, I joined this site last year and then work and life got in the way so I have got the rest of my life in order and now its time for me. I re-joined WW online on Sunday and have had a good couple of days already and am glad to be getting rid of the Christmas bloated feeling. I think I...

EAT THEM ALL.........its what you are eating that changes alot and thats where you will notice the difference and also the portion sizes which means that you are eating less (portion) but still have the points hanging around to have those nice treats especially on the days when its not all going...

I put mine in a tupperware container as well and find that they are find and can last....I tried the Wild Blueberry Muffins yesterday for the first time and they are lovely are so the individual new carrot cakes that they have brought out they are very moist and very mourish......Definately...

Can I have them then please.........:-)

Site is working fine for me as well....

Looks like a grand menu to me - and see you are a lovely of Warbuton square wraps as well - I have not had ordinary bread for 5 weeks since discovering these wraps... well done and keep up the good work.

No you dont, but if you are a subscriber then you get them earlier than if you wait until they are out in the shops - I have just subscribed yesterday. There are alot of recipe ideas on the WW site and you can join the site and get the recipes for free for more ideas....

New magazine is out, I need to go and get one. I have just brought two of the recipe books with the new pro points in and cant wait to try out some of them they look yummy.

Yes it does work, as you are not deprived of the foods that you like and you are fuller than on SW (I have done SW and swapped to WW four weeks ago). Every week I have had a loss and dont think of myself as being on a diet but a lifestyle change. It also works well with the family as my kids...

:8855:Passes over a gentle slap - DONT SNEAKY PEAK....it cruelty to people of diets. Get someone to hide the scales or take the batteries out and hide them so you dont look. Your weight naturally fluctuates. Now go and sit on the naughty step for ten minutes as additional punishment.....:):whip:

Definately DONT look back look forward...Start today as a brand new day. You have come too far to blow it all now and you know that you can do. You just have to keep telling yourself if that takeaway really worth it - or if you do have one then make better choice of what you have so you dont...

That is why its a good idea to measure yourself on a regular basis if you do exercise on a regular basis, so that when the scales dont show a huge loss it will be the inches that will disappear. Everyone is different and will loose in different places/ways and so its important to bear that in...

Glad you are determined to pick yourself and start again - it was only a weekend and you can undo any damage that may have been done. I have been away with the girls for the weekend and managed not too much damage and I am very determined to get back on the straight and narrow. Its being able...

Good luck with WW - I have never done WW before either and have been on propoints for 3 weeks and its great.....have to agree that the WW cake snacks are great for chocolate needs, they do a fab WW chocolate brownie which is lush.....

I think WW this time have come up trumps and find a Healthy eating plan that fits into normal life and makes you eat better but without you feeling as though you are missing out on the nice things in life. With SW I found that you although there are lots of free foods. you do eat alot of...

Thank you Kitten:) I had forgotten how much I needed this board......:)

I have just ordered mine off Ebay...thanks for the recommendation. Most of the other WW cookbooks are still the old point system very annoying as I do WW online.

I have also be an avid follower of SW but have stalled and joined WW online 3 weeks ago. And I can definately say that you are not hungry and the new Pro points system is very good and fits in very well to family life and just life in general. I would say give it a go, either at a class or...

I joined this forum last year and was doing the SW plan but without alot of success and then life got in the way and now I am back and joined WW online 3 weeks ago and have just had my second weigh in. So in 2 weeks I have lost 3lbs. This plan seems to fit in well with family life and I look...

Stick with the programme that they have given you. The stepper, the rower and the bike all are toning as cardiovascular exercises. Good luck and enjoy

If you are after a deep clean then I would go for the big guns (i.e. the agencies, people like Mollymaids etc) as they are usually able to send in more than one person. Be really specific as to what you want done, whether its an agency or just a local person there is no point paying someone to...

I house cleaned for a friend of mine (who has MS) and did so for a number of years and now I clean regularly for a friend (every other week). The hourly rate around here is £7, She clears the surfaces (i.e. if she has paper work on the kitchen table) before I come usually but I tell her not to...

The chart (on the other page) means I have lost my cat!!!! - (but - I can see him he is asleep on the sofa!!!):553:

WOW - way to go Mrs V...

Take the battery out of them....:) Ban those sneeky peaks

Good luck and carry on using your food optimising...so that you will have your head around the plan before you get your referral.:)

In comparision I have lost (and more now) than the weight of the rucksack that I take to the gym (which has in my trainers, boxing gloves etc) and its a great relief to get it off my back when I get there - as I walk there with it on my back and its scarey to think that was on my bum (and other...

My advice is what has happened is in the past, what you do in the future is what is the important thing. So forget the last week, take yourself off to WI and explain to your leader that its been a tough time (you dont have to go into details with her) and just start again.... Your back on plan...

Definately agree - write it off. I have had to do a similar thing with yesterday..I am also going to up my exercise as well to balance things out. We still have to have a life on this weightloss journey...

When you mash up fruit, it produces its natural sugars and then stops being a free food. I found that one hard to get my head round as i was a great lover of fruit smoothies. Your free soups are fine, dont worry.

Me too - or if no banana what ever soft fruit is around. Its so easy to make, and if I am really lucky my 10 year old son will make it for me in the mornings as well...:eek:

It still boils down to self-control, dont just eat because you can. But if you dont have time to sit down to a meal then you do have the option to craze during the day on healthy foods. Off course "free foods" are not free - but if you break it down and look at it in a differant way for example...

I only weigh myself the day I see my trainer..I try and remember to remove the batteries from the scales and get my son to hide them somewhere. Inch loss can be just as important as the way the scales alter and at the end of the day if you know that you are being 100% on the money with your...

Could just be down to your body handling the alcohol in a differant way. NO SNEEKY PEAKING though...:8855:

Alcohol will bloat you out, hence often the weight gain. It needs to get flushed through your system, which is why often drinking lots of water after having something to drink helps. Did you weigh yourself today as it was your WI or have you just had a sneaky peek? If it is your WI day then why...

I had one of those moments yesterday. Went clothes shopping with a girlfriend, tried on some tops, automatically picked up a size 16 top, tried it on and it was too big.!!!:eek::eek: I BROUGHT MY FIRST SIZE 14 TOP yesterday:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::bliss::bliss: All those times where i...

Make a big pasta salad for your lunch and put chicken, ham, or lean cooked bacon (cold) instead of always having bread..Or if you can have a jacket potato meat toppings for a change. I am not a fan of green days as I get stuck with what to eat, I definately think that you need to experiment...

I walk everywhere (no car) and go to a Personal Trainer once a week and have built a close relationship with Davina McCall's DVD's at home :)

Rachel, you will SO get there..I want to bottle this feeling. I brought my first size 14 top today, that was a tick for me. Keep up your good work..:)

After another tough session with my trainer this morning I realised that although its been hard to find the money sometimes (I only work part-time) it has so been worth it. After 4 months he has taken the exercise up a notch over the last week or so and today I did exercises that I so knew I...

You will need to look at what ingredients go in to it and also the weight of it..We used to bake our own bread but stopped as homemade bread as it weighs alot more than the shop brought healthy WW or warbatons bread.

Eeeeek...:eek: It shows that making meals from scratch pays off.

Oh yes, there is a big part of us that has this feeling. I have a friend of mine who is now using the same Personal Trainer as me and is catching me up with the inch loss and I think - hey slow down, its me in the lead. But at the end of the day what you (and all of us) have to remember is how...

I have just had a look in the food directory and they are not there. If it is just beef and seasoning in them then they should be free...I make my own!!!!

Well done - 2 great results :)

That is an amazing amount of weight to have lost - congratulations. I cant see your pictures as I am still a newish member - But I can imagine that you are looking good :)

Off to add some of these to my Tesco online shop as we speak...liking anything that tastes of chocolate... I saw in a magazine the other day the idea of dipping your strawberries in chocolate to get your choc fix!!!!

I get the severe munchies. Anyone got any ideas what I can eat to fill me up after my workouts. I always have breakfast, and usually have a banana before and afterwards before exercising!! :argh::eatdrink051::help2:

I only weigh myself once a month as instructed by my Personal Trainer, sports psychology is that you can become obsessed by the scales (and I was). I know that I am eating healthy food and exercising. My clothes are looser, and my wobbly bits are firming up. So you are doing a great job and the...

It should be free...just had a look in my food directory. If its just ordinary Bitter Lemon then its 2 syns per 100ml..

Its so hard, but you need to have a break. Introducing your little one to a bottle will give you a break as also you may find that he will also sleep better as he will be fuller. I had to go straight to the bottle with my son as he was so hungry. They pick up if you are stressed out as well. A...

Hi, I joined earlier this week, this forum is great for lots of support and tips. What ever healthy eating plan you are following you will find someone to help/support you. Good luck on your journey.

I put my fruit in at night except for the banana, the fruit soaks up all the liquid and it makes a lovely mushy breakfast and very very filling..

Magic Porridge (love the name) works best I think with raspberries and strawberries and in the morning just add a banana..

5lbs of my waist !!!!!:8855::8855:OMG I have shrunk big style - yipee.

They are not free - per 100g they are 4 syns for normal beans or 3.5 for healthy balance (this is based on Heinz beans) :)

Have you got any carrot and swede as then you could cook these and mash them, a good alternate to mashed potato. Definately agree re the sausage casserole - i simple sliced up the sausages put them in a casserole dish with onions and cook for 15 mins, then add tin of toms and baked beans and...

Hi, I am doing SWorld from home as there is not a class near me. I have some old books and have brought some new ones as well. I am bidding for a SWorld starter pack on Ebay:8855: Since discovering this site this week, the support and the information available is great. If you fancy a SW buddie...

I would like to do a monthly one if possible, cos I am a saddo with two kids and dont get to escape out that much:8855::8855:(she says going out on Saturday night)....LOL But I will go with the flow, thank you for organising this. :)

:) I started using a Personal Trainer back in February and I just wanted to share my inch loss.. Waist - lost in total as of today - 5.12 inches Hips - lost in total as of today - 2.56 inches Although my weight loss has not moved as much as I wanted it to since Feb (11lbs down), finding out...

My pain got worse today with the introduction of 8kg kettle bells - :asskick:!!!! Boy does it work your thighs and bum...:8855:

I come under the heading of a 'mummy' so please could I join in...

No it was last years:)

Good luck with your WI and have a good PT session..my b*m is really aching from so much boxing and squats yesterday so it will be interesting to see what he makes me do..LOL

WOW that is a great goal to aim for next year, what a fantastic experience that will be - apart from hard work. It is so great that you gain that confidence from our PT's I stopped saying "I cant do that" although saying that I still cant do the Plank I always end up flat on my face laughing -...

I have the curry one and and the family feasts for a fiver has just arrived today via Amazon seller and that looks good. Have a good hunt around, Amazon do alot of them cheaper and you can also get alot of them on EBay - my food directory arrived today and I got it for £2.50

Dont apologise, we all SO need to rant, life can be pants and so get in the way. But if we can take control of one part (say the weightloss situ) and then it takes away some of the stress of other things going on and it can make you feel better.. I hope that tomorrow will be a better day. :)

I so agree with Scanbran, that is really bad of your PT to have that type of attitude, you at the end of the day are paying for his services and you should not feel like that. I am very lucky with my trainer and he so works me hard as well. Best thing I ever did. Since I have been using him...

I have been doing my shopping online with Tesco for the last 8ish years. I get the 3 same delivery drivers and know them well and never have a problem if something has a short shelf life (doesnt happen that often) or if anything needs to go back. They have now started a price match scheme, so...

:8855:After a very hard PT session today, what did this mad woman do, went and booked another month session. My name is Tigger and I am a PT addict..:sigh::)

I am going to try and update this daily Day 1 - 14th June Daily Skimmed milk allowance - 350ml Breakfast 2 weetabix, Cuppa Snack Coffee and shape strawberry yogurt Lunch Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich on brown bread Snack Banana and coffee Dinner Roast chicken, low fat roast...

Mine isnt, he is one of those who can 'eat what he wants' play sport and stay thin and fit...we cant win:8855::8855:

Capricorn, thanks for reminding me about the *weigh less than hubby*

Thank you ladies, I have been having a good laugh reading your wants/wills. I so relate to the c-section scar one, mine is hidden under this flap of wobble..not sure that I do really want to see it though as i had to be re-stiched. My want is to be able to sit down on the floor and for me...

I dont leave the skin on mine but I dont cook them on a red day. Recommend putting black pepper or paprika on them and add some more when you turn them over half way through cooking it just makes them a little bit differant. Also nice to do with baby new potatoes as well. Enjoy your lunch:)

Just a quick question if you are back doing SWorld then how come you have signed up with Weightwatchers. Well good luck with your weightloss journey.

Deleted and moved

I have been using a personal trainer since February and really enjoy the fact that you are getting one to one training. Its not cheap thing to do, but I have found it has helped me to re-gain the confidence to hit this weight loss/fitness regime full on now. I have only got one more month left...

Yes it is supposed to be around 10,000 steps a day. I try and remember to wear my pedometer all the time including around the house otherwise it is very very hard to reach that 10,000. I have got close but I have never quite made it - another little goal for me...:)

The only GOOD thing about the football was that last night hubby and the kids were out from 7.00pm until 10pm and I was able to sit and watch a girlie chick flick on my own. I think I will be getting alot of my course work done over the next month.:)

Hi Everyone, Looking forward to finding support while on my Slimming World journey. There is not a class that I can get to as I dont drive so I shall be doing the plan at home. Tigs
