Hi melteaser Never thought of that - off to do some recalculating lol Weight is being frustratingly sticky. Had a rubbish week exercising aswell. My younger sister has MS and is in the middle of a relapse so I've been helping out over at my mum and dads. She's started on steroids so is on the...

Hi melteaser, Yep - weight is static (I'm going to have to banish scales from bathroom) mind you been doing a fair bit of weightlifting I'm hoping it's muscle lol. No movement on the measurements either? Will try even harder next week - not sure how tho - I'm sure I'm under points. Oh well -...

Think it's going to b a STS for me. Needs to think about some major tweaking :0/

Hi melteaser 1lbs is still a good loss! Well done. I had a 2 lbs loss this week weighed in on Sunday am. Worked hard at AP's this week - I know it's the only way I'll get good results. Delighted with weightwatchers so far - feel much more in control, no guessing! And I can still have my...

Thanks for all your help everyone! Got it under control this week - been sticking to weekly points-ish but the occasional 2-3 points over and using 1/2 of my extra weekly allowance with my Friday night bottle of plonk. Working out hard and earning some good AP's and made a good loss of 2lbs...

Hey malteaser hope youre okay - it's frightening when another dog goes for yours. A jr terrier had a go at our puppy a few weeks ago and the owner said oh she's got dominance issues! okaaaay so you think it's a good idea to let her off the leash so she can go round 'dominating' other dogs...

Hi malteaser - Weighed in today (gave in) is supposed to be tomorrow and It looks like a nice 2lbs loss this week woohoo! I'm really chuffed. Whats your weigh in day? My puppy is in the naughty corner today lol - he's discovered that the tall shiny thing in the kitchen (aka the bin) is full of...

Lol, it is fairly hardcore Malteaser :p You're doing great on your weight loss journey ! I've refrained from weighing in, resisting tempation from daily jump onto scales. Its only my first week on WW so am not sure how its going to go. It will give me a good idea of where to 'tweak' points...

Lol They're beachbody products - husband was doing p90x and got super buff in 90 days and turbofire is from same makers both high intensity cardio resistance workouts - there's also one called insanity...

Thanks :0) Now that I've read it correctly Sticking to daily propoints will result in weight loss but the bonus being the exercise acquired points and the extra extra bonus being the weekly buffer amounts brilliant. Am doing good with daily points - p90x programme exercising at the moment...

I'm really sorry if this is a super stupid question but I'm doing it online and don't know who else to ask My points allowance is 29 - am I going to loose weight if I stick to that basic amount ? Do most peeps save their weekly 'buffer' amount (weekly points) also I'm exercising hard at the...

Loads of ideas for breakfast! Many thanks everybod x Just another quickie question about points - I'm doing a high intensity exercise program - p90x and wondered how the activities points work? Am I best using them or saving them. On the day after my resistance workout days I know am really...

That sounds yum - I'll b trying that this week !

Having it for tea tonight in a stir fry (its about as close to Chinese meal as I'm allowed at the moment ) I might break a chicken oxo cube into the mix too for extra richness. Great way of adding loads of veg. I think I'm getting the idea with the propoints, I start with the zero foods, fruit...

Hi MiaQueenbee Sorry for thread hijacking lol, but I was planning to do a Saturday weigh in as I only started the online WW propoints yesterday. Are you going to meetings or doing it online? :D

Thanks starkissed - I used to do that on sw diet and it's really tasty, I'd forgotten all about it. It's really filling / u can use all sorts of diff cereal am sure I was using them mini shredded wheats :0)

iPhone may be a bit more portable lol

Thanks yummymummy, i never thought of readybrek and i love it - 50g sounds like a generous portion whoop! adding fruit at the end sounds like a plan too. Great work on your weight loss, you've done fabulously! Did you go to meetings or have you managed to do it online? Your starting weight...

thanks ffrafstar, i've just found out that egg whites are zero propoints so thats another breakfast idea. just found 'two chicks' egg white in a carton at sainsburys for £2.89, that will be less phaff in a morning !

Morning! Hangover has lifted :D just a quickie question about cereals, i'm off shopping now and wondered what are the lowest propoint cereal options Thankx Kaz

proper push up at last! woohoo, i can do pushups, well one or two lol

hi felix, congrats on your weight loss so far! 'fraid i cant offer much in the way of advise on this, i've only just joined up online. i can say that from what i've seen so far i'm really impressed, its really easy to follow. if you have an adroid phone there are plenty of great apps to...

Yeah cereal portions are a nightmare! They're super teeny weeny. I couldn't believe it when I actually weighed out what the portion size should be ie; 28g or 30g ...and thats gotta last me till lunch??!

Soz, meant to also say thanks for alternative meal ideas - didn't think of looking at the supermarket healthy ranges.

Many thanks ! I've had one of the WW meals today for lunch. As you say they're...shall we say...less than generous portion wise but maybe thats becuase I need to adjust my my views on portion size :( I must say I'd have been disappointed if that was my tea lol. I would probably pad them out...

Oooh never thought of adding a stock cube to it, that sounds like a plan :-) You can cook Quorn really quickly from frozen as well which is ace when you're in a hurry. The chicken bits one is nice too when you do it in a stir fry, puts lots of lovely soya sauce on sprinkle some seasme seeds yum

Quorn is a lot nicer than mince we hardly ever have minced beef now, it soaks up any sauce that you add to it, whether it be gravy for cottage pie, chilli sauce or a bolognaise. lovely texture, no floaty fat or knuckly bits bleurrghghhgh

Just been reading up on the WW website - sounds like a great, flexible healthy eating plan (not using the word diet - otherwise brain goes into panic mode) and the allowances for high intensity exercise are really generous. Really excited!

Brilliant! Many thanks - just discovered Quidco and I think if I've read it correctly I'll get £15 off of the £30 online fee! Thats fantastic! Really grateful, I'll be sharing Quidco with everybody I know x I've just joined WW online and am ready to make some changes; seems to be...

Thanks Steph :) Ah so the Iphone app thingy has a points calculator ? was wondering whether I'd have to join up and also buy a calculator :confused: but it doesn't sound like it if the WW app has one. I'll be on with signing up tomorrow me thinks, doing P90X stretches tonight so not quite...

Hello, Seriously thinking about starting WW propoints - online version as they're doing a great special offer. Does anyone on here do this version and how do they find it? I have an iphone so I could log my daily allowance on there. Do you get the whole daily points allowance calculation as...

Some shops are notorious for smaller sizing - topshop miss selfridge new look , whereas marks and spencers principals asdas & wallis are more generous. There's just no logic to it :0/ Maybe it's a marketing ploy lol the feel good factor ... Ooooh! I can fit in a size 10 in this store yay!

oh well, dont have the energy to double up but i am still bringing it. week four, recovery weeky - hardly! got my yoga and kenpo wrong way round and feel achy today. used weighted gloves today in kempo which made massive difference, feels like a good workout now. nervous that day 30 pictures...

Phew core synergetics was fun! Bring it lol

Today not improving. I've turned into an eating machine :0/ Doubling up this week with 3 cardio x workouts to make up

the donuts er...and the wine whoops I'm going to have to 'bring it' extra this week after today I think lol. Today not going as planned diet wise...3 co-op custard donuts later bleurgh why do i do it? last night wasnt great either after a bottle of sauvignon blanc after 3 weeks wine free :(...

Families :)

Turbofire looks super awesome! Me needs it but gotta finish p90x first - just got 60 days to go lol. Plan is to get strong enough to do unassisted press ups with p90x - maybe by the time I've finished that programme I'll feel able to do insanity ! Impressed with self for sticking to...

Insanity does sound really tough - I hope that I'll get to the stage where I'll be able to do it. P90x is enough for me at the moment lol, I can just do the plyometrics,legs and kenpo now without stopping - having to start using hand weights for kenpo now (I know it says dont but I feel I need...

Lol 2 rest days! no fair, I only get one and they encourage you to do the stretch dvd ....meh.... Felt myself waining a bit to day so i was you-tubing it for my weekly dose of encouragement and fully psyched (?sp) up I did my kenpo, without gloves, cause I need to go collect them from post...

Just bought myself some weighted gloves for p90x as am finding the kenpo workout isn't quite intense enough - they're only 0.5kgs to add a bit of resistance Been really tired the last few days do you find you get fatigued when dieting nd exercising? Am eating loads - probably too much actually...

Yeah, you're right- what I'll probably do is swap the 'all push up' disc of P90X with the a mix of turbojam and see how that goes. Just discovered that Chalene does another workout, Turbofire,blimey talk about commercialism. Think I'll stick with that workouts I've got :0)

Just watched turbojam, disc working no thanks to taz the psychodog:( Wow it looks really great! the ab one looks like a fab workout. I love the p90x kenpo which is kickboxing so it looks exactly like my cup of tea! Husband was saying that p90x week 5/6 are really tough - one of the workouts is...

Hiya My husband and I have been doing the P90X programme which is an intensive 90 day exercise regime including; plyometrics (jump training) weight training, kenpo and yoga. I'm on week 3 - seeing differences in my body shape now, clothes fitting better and thats even though I can't do proper...

Check your pulse oh god that sounds a bit intense- you've gotta use a heart rate/ pulse monitor for some of the p90x routines to make sure youre not 'dogging it' lol asif I need one of them when I can feel my pulse in my ears nd there's sweat running off the end of my nose - I think my heart...

I've seen the maxitone sculptress ones and keep thinking might try them - and they taste ok with water?

Yeah turbojam looks pretty good - looking forward to starting it. I just wonder if the 1000 cals an hour claim has something to do with the cardio weighted gloves. I dont av any but I think it will b difficult enough without them :0/ still doing p90x - am on day 17 (I think?) noticing some...

Hiya, Turbojam is a strenuous cardio workout combing loads of diff types - dancing, kickboxing, body sculpting. Claims to burn 1000 cals an hour!. Just waiting for the DVD to arrive in post and might try it on my 'stretch' and 'yoga' days to begin with. Its one of the Beachbody trainers...

:) Hey, Just been looking online at the turbojam work out thinking about hybriding it with p90x, is anyone else doubling up? I was thinking about doing turbo jam x 3 weekly along with my usual p90x for accelerated results. Just wondering Thanks

Hi Louisa Definitely a good idea to watch the routines first - I did and it makes all the difference. Are you doing the p90 or insanity? Two weeks into p90x and today for the first time I've weighed myself and I'm 1/2 stone lighter and I can see loads of upper body muscle changes whoah! Bring...

Hi - not doing insanity but am currently week two with p90x. Have you already done p90x? is insanity as tough as it sounds lol. x kaz

PHD diet - might have a look at that. Been using avid lite products, lo-carb pudding one which you can make into a shake - 90 cals. also use husbands whey one from MyProtein. They do help to keep you feeling full up :0)

Ive had this problem with scales too! bought an expensive ww set to find that they wouldnt work on anything other than the kitchen floor. Gave them to my sis in law and she has'nt had any problems with them, whats that all about? Promised myself when i started this exercise regime that i...

:)Great post, loads of tips

Thats brill, thanks ever so much Hannata & Lucky7. Theres quite a bit of branding products that go with P90X; such as 'recovery drinks' and Shakeology and stuff, its really gimicky that way. I've found loads of alternatives and am doing my own thing lo-carbing which seems to have helped with...

Hi Gina Thanks, on second week of P90X- massive difference thankfully with the achy muscle scenario! Also noticed that recovery drinks do kinda work ( i thought they were a con ) Kaz x

Whoah, plyometrics diznae get any easier - that was a grueller !

Hi Gem, Insanity looks tough but great - love the before and after's on You Tube, its really motivating! P90X is tough enough for me at the moment; Plyometrics tonight :eek: I'm not doing the P90X diet though but am vaguely lo-carbing. I've just bought some Avid-shakes to meal replace...

Lol even worse than the fat photos' - on holiday the kids video recorded me and their Dad running and jumping into the pool... I was sunburned and blotchy with a startling resemblence to Mr Blobby running (all the lumpy bits jiggling) and jumping into the pool :o Oh.....My.....God.... That...

Hi Caroline :) you're not kidding! I'm struggling with P90X, never mind Insanity - I think the name says it all lol. I'm on Day 9, I think, of P90X. I had a break in the middle when I couldn't move my legs and couldn't bear the thought of doing yoga eep! Done it though, and battling through...

Hi, Anyone got any good advice for achey muscles. I'm currentlyl doing P90 x and my legs feel like lead, I do the cooldowns and warmups then a hot bath but still the next day, and the day after its like ....yeeoouch. I used to go to the gym fairly regularly and we've got a treadmill and...

Talking of the achey-muscle walk, had to give the Yoga X a miss last night :o cause I hurt so much yeeeooouch! my poorly leggies - this better be worth it! Annoyed at myself but going to give the Yoga a shot today:D Are you following an exercise regime at the mo? Kaz (is in pain)

Hiya, Definitely not a good choice of work out if you've got a sore knee. I ache all over in muscles that I didn't even know I had, limped downstairs this morning...kids laughing their heads off at me ...made me more determined (well kind of). Had it not been for the cookie dough incident...

Hi, sorry for post-crashing :D Did you start doing the Insanity work out yet? I'm on day 3 of P90X and oh boy its hard, but, I can see (and feel) how it works. I love the way that you can 'jump' in and out of routines when you've exercised to 'failure' point. I can't wait until I can do...

Hi irene Brill thanks I'll switch round tomoz P90x is a diet and exercise regime from beachbody. Lo carb and exercise - over90 days am only on day 2 and it's hard work! Thanks again Kaz x

Hi, Can anyone help, I decided that if I was going to do diet and excercise the most successful way was to keep a day to day record. I started the blog method in this forum but now I've found one called 'diary' which is a similar format where peeps are recording their meal planners and exercise...

Hello, New to this, I'm getting ready to start the P90X challenge tomorrow. I've got about 16 lbs to lose. I've watched my husband doing fantastically on it and I've decided to 'bring it' (but not until tomorrow) ;) I think I may do a blogg style diary to try and keep myself going because it...
