Days 7,8,9 & 10 Level 2 down :D Have been v busy last week & had no time this weekend so have rolled over day 10 from sat to today - I definately felt the difference in missing 2 days :o. I only had time to do shred & walk doggie - no time for minimins :cry: Well done everyone on their shredding...

Fantastic loss Loopyluc :woohoo:

I'm also a bit of a scaleaholic - I weigh myself every weekday in the morning. I like to check my weight on friday to see what damage I do over the weekend :o I also like to see how I fluctuate depending on what I do during the week. My scales are v accurate (to 0.2lb) & so far they do seem to...

Everyones given some great suggestions here - I would also add the ingredients to make some 0pt soup - a lifesaver for me there are some great recipes on this website depending on what you like - Good Luck :)

Sorry to hear you are not feeling good today - sending you big hugs too :hug99: I don't know if this helps but my leader gave me a great tip last night - she said to find out if it is 'real' hunger or just craving you should ask yourself if you are hungry enough to eat an apple - if you are, eat...

Day 6 Level 2 down! Got my exercise info from the meeting yesterday so have worked out that I am gaining 2.5 AP's per workout (17.5 per week):happy036: Hope everyone is having a lovely shreddy time (not to much swearing now) ;)

lol - well if you still have the energy to pick up the tv you are doing well ;) I hate it when she says "just a couple more" and then proceeds to make you do about 10 more reps - THAT'S NOT A COUPLE JILLIAN :mad::)

Oh BTW there is a great list of points for alcohol on the uk lady luck website. But generally (from shop book) 1 measure (25ml) spirits is 1pt, 1 medium glass (175ml) red, rose or white wine is 2pts, 1 pint (568ml) lager is 2.5pts :drunk:

Haahaa I save mine for alcohol too. :party0036: When I joined my leader told me that you can save 24 points a week (4 a day for 6 days) from your allowance & can use them all at once on the 7th day. Today my leader explained that you can also only use 12 AP's a week - you can earn as many as you...

Had my weigh in today - I lost 2lbs that means I have lost in total 10.2lbs in 6 weeks - yay! :woohoo:

Well Done on your loss :clap: - have you seen what a pound of fat looks like (google it) You CAN resist eating the crap - sometimes it just takes our bodies a little while to adjust to losing especially as you lost so much in you 1st week. Good Luck :)

:woohoo: That's Fantastic - well done :)

Congratulations :happy036: I'm glad ww is working out for you :)

:party0011: That's Fantastic! :party0011: congrats (again) :)

Hello, :welcome: & Good Luck :)

:clap: Congratulations :clap: as Jillian says "you are well on your way to being shredded" ;)

Days 3,4 &5 Level 2 down! :) I'm halfway through now - have thought about taking my measurements but I sort of want to wait until the end to get a bigger (or rather smaller hopefully) surprise ;) Does anyone else find that all the 'plank' style exercises in level 2 put a bit of a strain on their...

:welcome: & congratulations on your weight loss so far. I find WW is really good for teaching me things like portion control (my downfall :o) & healthy eating - I love to cook & have made a lot of yummy meals using ww recipes. Good Luck :)

:party0011: Well Done :party0011:- (ww say you are only meant to lose between 1lb & 2lbs a week on their plan anyway)

Congratulations :woohoo: - Good Luck for next week :)

Day 2 Level 2 down! I got some new weights yesterday 2kg ones (4.4lbs) yikes! definately felt the difference - had to do the modified versions but will build my way back up again :character00115: scottishjewel - the one I have has the black cover with red squigles! Think the other one is the US...

Day 1 Level 2 down! OMG I am knackered :o I try to do the workout before breakfast & I don't let myself log on to minimins until I have done it - I am finding this is helping to motivate me! :)

:giggle: hee hee

:welcome: My best tip is to make 0pt soup - I have it every day for lunch (with a pitta bread or something). I find it really fills me up. I also eat a lot of free veggies. Good Luck :)

Thankyou :) Hee hee - even the hangovers didn't stop me eating! :o

wow - your losses have been fantastic - :party0011: Congratulations! :party0011:

:happy036:Well Done - you are doing great! :)

Hello & welcome. The latest cookbook 'Fabulous & Filling' has a good selection of nice recipes in - It is half price at the mo. :)

p.s. Well Done on the loss phil1978 :woohoo:

I hope the op went well. :bestwishes: What an idiot - it sounds like he just didn't know how to respond & had to get the last word in. :mad: I always think that people who are nasty & rude do it to make themselves feel good because they are unhappy in themselves. I pity them for their small...

I am thinking of adding some pineapple next time & maybe having some cabbagey type veg on the side as well. Tonight I am making paella with prawns & spicy sausage. (Am adapting a WW recipe for what I have in the fridge - shopping day tomorrow - with maybe a sneeky trip to WHSmith :giggle:)

Have been v busy over the bank holiday & then internet has been playing up so I'm a bit late posting my WI. Anyway despite eating & drinking lots during the weekend I just managed to stay just within my points by using my banked points & nearly all my activity points - result a 0.6lb loss this...

Well Done on your loss despite holiday! :party0011: I'm sure you'll get your 4th shiny 7 v. soon :)

:wow: That's Fantastic :wow: well done :)

Well done! :party0011: wow you'll be at your goal in no time :)

Sometimes I combine it with low fat greek yougurt to stretch my points - you need to get the balance right though :)

Good Luck & well done on not giving up :)

Congratulations :happy036:

There is a sticky 'Sharing favourites & new discoveries' That has lots of good tips in. I don't know about rice or pasta but if I'm making mashed potatoes I add in carrots or butternut squash to bulk it up for no extra points.

Day 10 Level 1 down - bring on level 2 (gulp) :D esellek - you will definately need a mat - (I have a wooden floor too) The weights you need are hand weights I think it recommends between 3-5lbs - mine are a bit woosy at 1kg each I had to steal them from my OH - his next ones up are 2.5kg which...

Thanks - sweet potato is in the recipe but I changed it for carrot & added some fresh chili, then made sweet potato & lime wedges on the side (also some rice for OH) - Result - OH claims it is the nicest meal I have ever made!!! (he had just been to the pub but I'm happy ;) )

:wow: That's Fantastic :wow: Good for you :)

:welcome2: Good Luck - both with your WW journey & college:)

Well done :woohoo:- there's nothing like the feeling of fitting back into your old smaller clothes - I managed to get my favorite pair of jeans on yesterday - unfortunately I couldn't actually sit down when wearing them :8855:(always think this looks like me trying to get them on ;))

Hello and :welcome: Congratulations on your 1st weeks loss :)

:welcome2: Hope your 1st meeting went well, good luck :)

The crispy garlic chicken looks good - I am thinking of making the Caribbean Chicken Casserole tonight from f&f (4pts) - will make my own seasoning though - not sure what other veggies I will have with it yet. Any caribbean low point suggestions? :)

I am doing the 30 day shred DVD - I normally try to do it in the morning before breakfast - I imagine Jillian's voice in my head shouting at me to get up & not be so lazy! :p I also don't allow myself to log on to minimins until I have done any exercise. This seems to be working so far. (I also...

Well done on your fantastic weight loss :happy036: Thankyou for sharing your with us - I think your attitude towards ww is one I would like to follow & I hope it works as well for me! Good Luck :)

:welcome2: Good Luck with you WW journey :)

Day 9 Level 1 down! It does get easier :) I can do all of the full versions (except press ups now - can only manage 7 full ones before collapse!) I am still dreading moving up to Level 2 in 2 days time though :o Well done everyone for perservering - I managed to do the 'shred' every day this...

Made the Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf tonight & it was v yummy :eating:(I also froze half uncooked) WHSmith doesn't seem to have many offers online at the mo - will keep checking though :)

:party0011:Congratulations :party0011: that's fantastic! :)

Well done on your losses so far - At least you have realised the reason for the STS/gain. Good luck for the weekend (I also have a birthday to go to & a sunday lunch so have been saving my points & exercising to try to compensate, unfortunately I weigh in on Mondays so no chance to do it after)...

Day 4 Level 1 down! Well done on completing your 1st day mrs lever :) lol at madonna giving reviews on play :D

Well done on the loss :party0011: Good Luck for next week :)

That's fantastic - congratulations! :woohoo:

Good Luck for tomorrow with the new start & with the aches & pains! I am seriously thinking of borrowing some of my dad's stinky sports embrocation for when I start Level 2! :D

Well done on your losses so far. :) Have you been saving some of your points each day & getting some activity points so that if you do want to have a treat you can without going off plan? There is a great list of points for chinese food on the uk lady luck website. If I'm feeling tempted I get...

well done coffeeprincess - I'm sure you will get your shiny 7 next week :scale: x likklebex - I only joined a week ago but I think blackwidow assigns the teams - I'm sure she will get back to you soon :)

Well done sharkbait1983 on stepping up to level 2. I haven't quite reached the 'enjoyment' stage yet, in fact I'm too busy gasping for breath to notice the music - all I listen out for is Jillian counting down the last few moves ;)

Well done on your loss and hope you have a Very Happy Birthday x :birthday:

Good Luck with your weigh in :) I agree with Shabba - you have to enjoy the moment sometimes - the spa sounded lovely.

Thankyou Suz1506 - I hope I can get away with it too :cross:. Unfortunately my weigh in is on Monday so not much chance of recouping points after sunday lunch :(

Welcome back :) I hope I do as well as you if that naughty motivation plays hide and seek :hide:

:party0011: Congratulations on your losses :party0011:

I am going out for a friends bday meal on friday. Can anyone please help me choose a dish that has the lowest points value - as I am only on 18pts a day & will probably have a few drinks as well ;) I have been trying to save points this week but think I may need to use my APs as well as I am...

A low point jam recipe would be fab as I always make my own raspberry/redcurrant & blackberry jam with fruit from the garden. I am also expecting a bumper crop of chillis so any low point jam/chutney recipes would also be much appreciated Had a successful charity shop trip today - got 'eating...

Day 3 Level 1 down :) - really feeling it in my arms today - I don't allow myself to turn on the computer until I have done the workout to help motivate me :D mrs lever - glad to see you are feeling better today - hope your DVD comes x

Good Luck for your weigh in amberstone :)

:wow: that's fantastic! :wow:

I'm sorry that you are having a tough time :hug99: but well done for being strong enough to resist turning to food for comfort. I know you will feel even better in the morning knowing you have broken the habit. :)x

I can't believe the nasty, petty behaviour of some people. I am so angry that people think it is acceptable behaviour to act in that way :mad: I hope you see from all the messages of support how we can see what a lovely person you are :hug99: and this far outweighs the actions of those...

Conngratulations on your loss :happy036:

:read:Hello fellow addicts I too have an ever growing collection of cookbooks - I like to bring them back from holiday, buy them online & I'm always looking in the charity shops! In fact I decided to try following WW because I found the 'time to eat' cookbook in oxfam! So far I have collected...

I find if I have an egg for breakfast (scrambled/poached or boiled with toast or a bagel) it keeps my full until lunchtime. Today I whisked it and microwaved for 1 min in a bowl roughly the same size as a ww bagel, then had it with a toasted bagel & some ketchup - yum :p - you could maybe make...

Sorry to hear about your lack of family support :hug99: - I did the first 3 weeks on my own, but have been going to meetings for the last two weeks (mainly because I got a free voucher & also had vouchers to buy the cookbooks, etc.) Anyway I am only thinking of sticking with the meeetings to get...

Good Luck with Level 2 Sharkbait1983 & Good Luck to everyone else attempting & about to start the Shred :character00115: I am doing all the easiest versions at the mo, but am trying to build up to the harder one bit by bit. (absolutely no chance at doing a full press up yet :o) Re. the fat &...

Day 2 level 1 down :) not so bad with aches & pains - I can still walk this morning - much to the relief of my dog ;) Doing EA Active for a week before must have helped as I certainly haven't done any other exercise for years! (apart from doggy walking) Although now my right knee keeps cracking!

Well done on your fab loss :bliss:

Well done phil1978 & established88 for your losses - I can also report a loss of 1.6lbs - :party0011: Go Team 2:party0011: (hee hee)

Don't know if anything is happening with this thread but I'm a monday girlie x :)

:party0011: Congratulations :party0011:

Thanks - am definately going to look out for the cheese - I like to make my own pizzas so it will be perfect - I have been using the lighter mozarella balls from tescos but I think they might be higher points (2.5pts for 1/2) mmmmm I :heartpump: cheese too - any cheese related tips are much...

Well done for dragging yourself out of the road, dusting yourself off and getting back on the next wagon ;) I think you have a good attitude towards what you have to do next, you may not be able to undo the damage but you can minimise it with saving a few points this week it's only monday after...

If you can post the kcals and saturated fat content per 100g I can work it out for you on my ww calculator. From the ww shop book 100g of lean beef braising/stewing steak is 2.5pts so 268g would be approx 6.5-7pts (the points differ depending what cut of meat it is) - but it really depends how...

So I had my 1st official WW weigh in today as well as my own 4th personal one. Well according to both of them I have lost over 7lbs in 4 weeks - I'm so happy:woohoo: Thanks to you all at minimins for helping me keep motivated :flowers: p.s. I hope you don't mind I appropriated a shiny 7 I saw on...

Sorry to hear about your bereavement Kayla. Just concentrate on taking care of yourself & your family x Congrats on your 1lb loss Lozbo - my weigh in is later today so I hope I can make my team proud :)

Welcome back & Good Luck :welcome2: Congratulations on your fab weight loss so far:party0011: I'm sure you will be a beautiful bride x

Well done :) I had 2 glasses of white wine, 2 G&T's, and 1 V&T on sat for a total of 7.5pts :o so not bad had to use my extra saved points by having a cooked breakfast on sunday to break even for the week ;) Unfortunately my weigh in is today so I'll see if it's affected me or not...:cross:

I used to live off diet coke - but I have swapped it out for tap & fizzy water during the week & treat myself at the weekend - now 4 weeks in I didn't have any diet coke this weekend & didn't miss it either! So I definately think it gets easier (I did have a few glasses of vino though ;))

Thankyou for the encouragement sharkbait1983 - after rummaging around yesterday I managed to steal/borrow OH's old weights, unfortunately I then proceeded to break the fastening on one of the weights... :o so out came the no more nails & duct tape! So with a choice of either 1kg (2.2lbs) or...

:party0011:Congratulations :party0011: I'm so happy for you :) MrsM2007 - I'm only just starting my 5th week on WW but if there is anything I can help you with to make it seem more managable please say & well done on your losses so far x

Mmmm I love carrot & coriander... so far I have made butternut squash 0pts, carrot & coriander 0pts, red pepper & lime 0pts, and mushroom 1pts (added some low fat creme fraiche to recipe)... my freezer is now completely full. Think I may be a little soup obsessed. :giggle: I am also being...

Hope you've managed to start afresh this week :) - don't dwell on last week, at least you know the reason for your hic-up - naughty tom - we girls do have our trials :sigh:

Congrats on the fab loss! :woohoo:

:welcome2: Congrats on losing all that weight & welcome :)

I fully admit that it is an absolutely terrible show & I lose interest in it completely after it finishes - I would never phone in or buy any of the 'music' from any of the contestants - I just love to sit at home and harshly judge all the contestants (its's the same with watching Top Model)like...

lol and just imagining this scrummage around the ww section. Women & a few brave men fighting over the last packet of brownie bites - well done yummymummy75 for wading in and coming out triumphant - you must be one tough mamma! :happy096:

I'm sorry to say I still love it :o Especially after a glass or 2 of wine ;) It's even worse now I'm home alone waiting for OH & friends to get back from the footy - I get caught up in the whole cheesyness without any normal people to make me feel embarrassed :p

I just got this today in the post - am a little bit terrified of Jillian :hide:- and I need to get some weights so I may wait until monday to start :o

:candle1: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (again) hope you are having a lovely day x

Thankyou :) p.s. I hear that WW is going to have some changes soon - do you think they will make all cheese 0pts? :cross:

Crooked Smile - Happy Birthday :birthday: Congratulations on resisting the cake & fitting into a size 12 & good luck with sexy guy tonight - I'm sure you'll have a fab time :party0049: Another exciting day for me :rolleyes: I made mushroom soup, walked the dog, I was contemplating mowing the...

That's fab, well done you!:woohoo:

Congratulations on your loss :party0011: p.s. I think 5 glasses of wine in 2 days is probably well earned if you've been moving house... unless the glasses are the extra large ones that you can fit a whole bottle into! :party0036:

I have just finished making & eating the soup... I add libbed a bit by adding some thyme & fresh parsley then swirled 15ml of low fat creme fraiche (1pt) to serve.:p In conclusion the soup is quite nice - I think the celery taste makes it a bit too salty for me - In future I think I will use...

Good Luck! - hope you are managing to resist this weekend. They are also my downfall going out & drinking then the dreaded 'hangover hunger' :( I have switched my tipple to gin/vodka and slimline tonics - have been saving my points for tonight - have manage to accrue 13.5... may not be such a...

Hello everyone, :sign0144: I've just been told I can join team 2. Think it must be fate because like you Kally I am also a cheeseaholic - in fact everyting I look at your sig I get cravings :o lol I can't PM yet either - I think I read you have to have at least 50 posts before you are allowed...

Thankyou... trottles of to introduce herself to team 2....:wavey: p.s. did you pick my team based on my over use of the word 'too' in my post - it wasn't meant to be a hint :D

I wish I was brave enough to do that - everytime I look at it I feel a bit ill :o I might just end up eating out to avoid seeing it :D

Ahh aversion therepy - I wish I had that for cheese :D Hope you are feeling better now. Btw just in case the brownie recipe can be found on the 'goodtoknow' website - I would post a link but I'm not allowed until I have 50 posts (am obviously working on that :o) leoleoleo123 - I too have had the...

I'll also take note of your promise :) Unfortunately I weigh in mondays so I can't make up for my weekend overspends :break_diet:

p.p.s. Good Luck :hug99:

We all have our off days don't beat yourself up too much. When I need to motivate myself into losing weight for a holiday I try on my holiday clothes (especially the bikini) that normally gives me a shock :D p.s. yummymummy75 that's a great post - have you seen the picture of a pound of fat on...

I made sure I had a good brekkie (bacon & egg sarnie) before doing the weekly supermarket shop. I also had a wee look round the charity shops for ww books - I managed to find some perfect size glasses that I have been looking for for only 50p each, a funky necklace for £1 but the best thing was...

Hello & welcome :wavey: I'm halfway through my 4th week & am also loving ww so far!

Congratulations on the 7lb loss:woohoo: I have to say I'm only new here but I haven't come across anyone giving negative comments here, I see the posts as trying to be helpful from people that have more experience on what works best. Obviously everyone needs to follow ww in a way that they can...

Oooh can I join the cookbook addict thread - I have been searching the charity shops, buying them off ebay & from the meetings lol I can't get enough :p. p.s. did you see the voucher in the september issue of ww magazine for the 'Just for Me' cookbook for £2.95?

:wow: that's absolutely fantatic! :) :wow:

I spotted one in a healthy eating cookbook. Mushroom, Celery & Garlic Soup (serves 4) 350g mushrooms chopped 4 celery sticks chopped 3 garlic cloves 45ml dry sherry or white wine 750ml chicken stock 30ml Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp grated nutmeg black pepper celery leaves to garnish! Place...

Am definately thinking of swapping my gin & slimline tonics for vodkas now :D

I'm on 18pts a day. I normally have 4/5 for breakfast (1 muller vitality drink then ww toast/bagel with either lurpack lighter & jam or an egg), 2/3 for lunch (I normally fill up on 0pt soup + ww pitta/bagel/bread with various fillings & veg) then 6/7 for dinner (I have been experimenting with...

Ironically the total amount of weight I want to lose is about the amount of cheese eaten in a year and is probably due to the amount of cheese I used to eat :D

:party0011: That's Fantastic - I definately agree that mini goals work better than one final goal to keep up motivation x (not that 36lbs is mini - it's brilliant :) )

Congratulations! :woohoo:

That's fab - well done on giving up smoking - I know how hard that is - if you can do that you can do anything :)

:party0011: Congratulations :party0011:

:bliss:That's fab - congratulations, my skinny jeans are still sitting in the cupboard taunting me... but I will get into them again.

That's fantastic! :happy096:

Congrats on the loss - I lost 3lb first week

Thankyou for you lovely welcome and good luck to you too :hug99: xx

Thanks for your help. I think I will keep going for a few weeks just to give it a fair shot. I will try to use their scales but unfortunately am a bit of a scaleaholic & I love my scales which give 0.2 increments, body fat & water % so may have trouble giving them up :wave_cry: WW didn't tell...

:wow: that's amazing - congratulations:wow:
