A lot of people love zumba. ask in your local leisure center what classes there are. im going to do water zumba although i am terrified! most gyms when you join (mine works out at a tenner a week) gets a fitness instructor to give you a personal training session where they give you a work out...

Haha Jayde I did the exact same thing once! your so lucky my other half would never go to the gym!

Hiya! I have a diary on WEMITTS but I thought i'd make one here too as there seems to be a lot of people on this thread. My name is wendy, I am 25 and 17.7 stone which is a huge amount. my weight crept up on my while i was ill and couldn't walk very far after surgery for several months. After...

Re: Jeew's weight loss yey well done! Thats a great achievement:D

Hi there. I was reading through your diary and am completely shocked at how your doctor spoke to you talk about patient care! You are doing great so far keep it up x

your right sarah- makes me feel that way too! i lose a stone just by :sick0019::p

I worked in tesco for a short time and was given a uniform far too small for me. the blouse was so tight I had to literally threaten them in order for the buttons to close. One day on my break I went out for a smoke and i forgot my lighter. I decided to ask the security guard that worked in the...

something unbelievable happened. I, wendy, did a workout in a gym. not at home, not aqua fit, but a REAL GYM. and whats even more surprising is I ENJOYED IT! yes the things I feared were there- the bodybuiding mirror watchers, the 8st gym bunnies/models and even the people who gave me a 2nd...

Hi jennie, glad you joined! it's so motivating here everyone is so supportive. giving yourself health is the best gift you can give your kids and yourself, well done for making the choice!

Hi Auburn. looking forward to hearing how you did. the worst thing you can do is eat too low as its not sustainable so eating slighly over is better then under! here to follow x

you poor thing is it the heat thats stopping you sleeping? Im awake and its 5.20am too hot i'm not used to it haha. hope you get a good rest anyway! xx

I had a great day today! went to the dr's (get depression on and off) and she switched my meds. also sent to physio for my back (calcified spine) and got the all clear for the gym. still SUPER nervous about my fitness assesment in the gym...anyone know what to expect? heres my food for the...

so i forced myself to the gym. nervous all the way down but everyone was really friendly and the pools look great. all the exercise classes are free too. i have a fitness assessment tomorrow and am SO NERVOUS i have literally no fitness level! oh well.

I'm going to use MFP i think. slimming clubs are extremely useful for some people but i dont think they work for me, they make me overthink food and i start to become a bit obsessive about what im having. this is day 5. having a few drinks in the sunshine later, hpe it doesnt add up to too much...

Hi beccus, your next goal could be fit into (item of clothing you once wore) or size__ hit a personal best at exercise try new dish you never would have before (if fussy with food as a lot of us are) do something you were previously too embarrassed to do due to your weight

Thanks so much guys. Im already getting more support from you then the previous threads! Hope I can be here for you all to offer support. cannot WAIT to get out of the 17s. need to eat breakfast though, its a bit ridiculous. I know how important it is but just have not been making the...

Hi everyone. I have been dabbling on minimins for a few years on and off now, and have several diaries dotted around the place. I have been put off by lack of support and generally giving up too easily. However as the old saying goes "a winner never quits and a quitter never wins". I am 25 and...

awh really hope you feel better soon. nothing worse then trying to carry on dieting while sick, it is easy to go off the wagon when you feel like crap. feel better! :ambulance:

Hi there, wish you the best of look. like you i was on every diet too. i think the trick is the more you come on here the more motivated you will get. it really helps to read something inspiring when you get down. i'm like you too, if i even have a sniff of wine i'm on the phone to the takeaway...

Hiya, been away from ww since before xmas, I am wondering is there a new point system or something because a friend told me te lowest points you can be on now are 29 and not 26. also there was talk of a "new surprise in the new year" before xmas...can anyone fill me in?

how did you get on?

Thanks Rachel, I really appreciate that :) IBS can make managing food a nightmare sometimes! So i'm finally back after christmas. managed to lose 10 pounds since then as i was going forwards and back a lot so im making this time different! although in saying that, today was crap. I did manage...

here's a photo of my dinner: spanish pork and pepper casserole with rice (12pp)

had my weigh in this morning, only down half a pound. i couldn't believe it! feel really down as i was expecting more, i stuck rigidly all week. i ate less then 10 of my weeklies though, maybe that has something to do with it. my bf assures me it'll show up on the scales next week but still...

As my old diary is full of junk and old diets, i thought i'd re-start this diary and add photos of my lunch and dinners every day too. plus i thought i'd help me talk to new people as my old diary is fidgety. so i re-joined ww for the 3rd time almost 2 weeks ago. I suffer from IBS and a...

I havent actually read beyond chocolate because i havent got a sweet tooth (a stupid reason when i think about it) the books are keeping me on top form but i understand they might not work for everyone. it can be very disheartening when you have an awful lot of weight to lose like i do so im...

Hi cupcake. I have been in your shoes so many times so i know how depressing it feels. i got down to 14st and i WISH someone had made me see how huge an achievement it was as i didnt feel like it was any at all and i ended up putting my 2stone on plus more. the thing about "diets" is that they...

Hi folks! I had a great few day. lost 4 pounds at my first WI so i'm thrilled. also bought one of the ww propoints calculators-brilliant! don't know how ive lived without it haha. i need to up the ante on the exercise though- im thinking swiming. so today i ate: 2 weetabix (3) 25g Brie (2.5)...

Thanks ladies!! I took your advice and bought one at my meeting- i love it! well worth the tenner!! also found out i was pointing a few things wrong without it:rolleyes:

Thanks sharon, might give it a go then!

my tip for you would be to read some self help books. this has seriously helped me see this diet as different to others. one i really recommend is "beyond temptation" How to stop overeating and feel normal and in control around food. by sophie and audrey boss. its a great book wheter you have...

Hi folks! Just wondering if the ww calculator is worth the money? so far ive been using the book and google for my points and im thinking of buying one. do you just enter the weight and calories or something and it give you the points? sorry for the sillys questions...

I personally would advise against weight loss pills as they change your body chemistry and filter fat in a way that the body was not designed to do so. BUT thats just my opinion. i know on alli your supposed to eat nothing over 5g fat to stop the dredded side effects, so you would be on a diet...

scoobysue is right, its a personal choice. its a great safety net to have for those days you go a bit overboard or when one glass of wine turns into a bottle..or 2. i tend to sometimes use mine for bigger portions and sometimes go without. I always lost when i was previously in ww when i stuck...

it matches what i found on google anyway! its hard to tell with different restaurants doing different portion sizes, but you should be fine. have a great birthday and enjoy your meal!

had a weird day today. felt a little ill so just had some crackers busy busy for the whole day so i just sat down to a plate of pineapple pieces, mixed olives, Italian herb crackers, anchovies and some extra mature cheddar. that comes in at 8pp so so far Ive had 10pp today, have another 28pp for...

Hi Folks! just wondering if anyone's tried the angel delight ice cream? I had a quarter of the pack made up and it came to 3pp but that just cant be right. anyone know the points? the strawberry one is yummy. its just the angel delight ice cream powder that you add low fat milk, then...

unfortunatly A&E wont take it out they'll just give you pain relievers until the attack goes, trust me ive tried it!

Hiya, just read your diary, you have done SO well it really inspires me! your food looks yum too. i'm wendy, nice to meet ya :)

yeeeyyyy well done!!!

sorry for being nosey but i cant even write the words i'd use to describe her! people like that infuriate me, they dont realise the kind of damage they can do and the hurt they can cause. remember you have lots of support here and that woman will be shocked when she sees that you can lose weight...

from dublin living in maynooth, here to say hi to y'all!:D

I weigh in wednesday morning at 11. I'm so excited about it because I haven't even been tempted to fail. Once you get your head in gear the rest follows. I have to say this website certainly helps doesnt it! I planned to go for a walk in the fields behind my house, I went into the kichen this...

you should never go under 26 as your pp are your basal metabolic rate, so going under will just slow your metabolism and you could lose less then you would if you ate all your points. its not healthy, so just exercise and it should work :)

Tesco mini eclairs are 1pp each! 2 is 3pp, yum

Hi there! glad to see your diet is ok. remember you only have a bit to go before you reach your goal weight, you have come so far. i wish you the best!

ok i'm sorry for the rant folks but here goes. I cant seem to get back into the swing of things at all. i put 2lbs back on of the 5 i lost, and its only going into my 3rd week. i keep eating even when i know i'm going to feel like i have to call an ambulance due to IBS. my health is a joke for...

Thanks daisy. hasnt gotten much better, if anything its gotten worse. been eating like a pig literally all week. i do this all the time, do great and then punish myself my making myself put on weight. im sure im not the only one. im going to take it one day at a time. i ate a ton of junk today...

all i can say is that diet wise the last few days have been awful. got some bad news on friday which resulted in mcdonalds, then a 1/4 of a frozen pizza and a handful of chips later on. saturday was a kids party which i ate my own weight in chocolate cake, and today was not much better. worst of...

thanks daisy, feels great to have a loss! before WW i was a mess with my weightloss, up one week down the next. heres hoping it stays down!

i got a bout of gas and other nastiness after it unfortunatly. feels like i need to go to a&e each time i get it. some days i could eat anything and i dont get it, its luck of the draw it seems. on another note, had my 1st weight in and lost 5 pounds woohoo!

Down five pounds woohoo, delighted with myself.

I'm studying history and Celtic studies. its my first year, i went back as a mature student (im 24). love the subjects but the stress of the exams is killing me!

hi, just been flicking through your diary. i also suffer from depression the type hasnt been diagnosed for me yet. i thought cbt helped me to break certain habits and patterns that i had forming so i believe it really helped me, although not for a long time. im also on lexapro,which i found to...

used your words of encouragement and had a yoghurt for brekky! its a start!

couldve been worse! chin up and a fresh start next week you will see the difference, im studying for exams and doing essays at the moment so refraining from stress eating is VERY difficult. dont be too down on yourself!

thanks daisy! it was!!! :D

big congrats!!! see you soon!!

Hi Carly! here to follow your diary. sometimes when you've been doing the same thing for a while it gets infuriating, but look how far you've come, it may feel you have a lot to go (I know I'm the same weight) but you have come a long way already, and starting can sometimes be the hardest...

Thanks girls! my weigh in is Thursday, cant wait! i skipped Breakfast today which i have learned is a big no-no for me because i ate 2 chocolate mikados in the car tsk tsk! lunch i had two potato waffles with a poached egg on top and a slice of ham. Dinner was chicken stir fry i was...

hi RachelDublin. (fellow dubliner here) your doing a great job and its so important when you go back up a little to remember how far youve come. of you have an old pair of jeans or something slip them on to remind yourself what a BIG DEAL this weight loss is. 16 stone can do a lot more damage to...

Hi folks! so i joined WW on 12/4/12. Hoping this will really be the thing that makes the difference with my weight loss. been on this site for years, floating around different diets, you name it i tried it. lipotrim, xenical, cabbage soup, the lot. been to unislim too and managed to lose a few...

Thank you for the reply and the links! I think dieting only works when you accept the lifestyle change, which is something i struggle with. when i do diet, i have around 1200 calories a day, but as the diet progresses i have a tendancy to go down to about 800kcals a day which is awful. have...

Thank you. i see youve done really well. congrats!

hi folks! i was on xenical for 2 months last year and stopped taking it because i thought i was getting anxious. my weight has pretty much stayed the same since last year and i feel as though i am stuck in a rut. any positive things you have to say about xenical or any advice? im thinking of...

yep thats exactly what im doing! its only 2 days in (ive cut out meat and dairy) and already i feel alot better. i find it so hard to stay on a diet and i usually end up making a healthy wraps then piling sour cream or something on, so hopefully this keeps me on the straight and narrow!

alpro caramel dessert its yummy!

Hi folks :D so i had my weigh in today and weighed in at 15st10. i put on 2 pounds in 4 weeks. I had a bit of bad news yesterday that they could not do exploratory surgery on me because i was too heavy. and what made it worse was the doctor was SO rude about it and spoke loudly infront of his...

Hi folks! My name is wendy, i used to be found over in the xenical side of this website but it wasnt the thing for me. after serveral diet attempts i decided to give good ol healthy eating a go, along with being a member of a slimming club unislim, but im not doing their diet plan i use it...

ahhh great stuff thank you :D

i know exactly how you feel. in fact, i caved today. but if you didnt diet, how much would you weigh this time next year? and the year after? what about your health and longevitiy? 1lb per week loss adds up to four stone in a year..thats what im clinging onto

Hi guys! :p just a quick question.. when you were beginning to take xenical did any of you feel sick/ run down?? i felt like this before and came off it now i feel it a bit again, just wondering if its happened to anybody else here. Im sure its just my body getting used to the changes thanks...

Thanks guys, your motivation helps me a LOT! Today was fine, feeling very over tired lately and worn down, probably my body getting used to the tablets again id say. so heres my food for the day brekky: special k, peppermint tea lunch: chicken teriyaki bento jasmine tea tea: ww spinach...

How did it go at the gym?

i broke the habit, i got migranes for ages! it was awful! glad i did it tho, it was costing me a fortune lol

yep when i make salads they have the full 5 a day in :D

haha too right!! xenical certainly works anyway!

Hi folks :D im turning into a right scale hopper and its getting me down as ive only lost 7lbs in a month. how often does everybody weigh themselves?

well its good that youve tested the waters, and the waters were baaad!!

thanks vicklee :D had another great day today! no brekky dinner: mediterrainian chicken and veg with couscous Supper: Baked potato with leftover dinner desert: chocolate alprosoya went to an aquafit class today, my bingo wings are aching now!!!

I bought a pill box in the pound shop, it divides the tablets into days of the week and morning afternoon evening and night, so i put my 3 xenical plus my multivitamin in. its very handy!

well were all here for ya!! this time next year we'll all be millionaires..oh i mean slim :D

aww:hug99: dont worry, we all do it. and its early days, your trying to break the habits that have formed over a long time dont be so hard on yourself! you should try swimming, or an exercise dvd. if you do something you dont usually do, you feel to happy with yourself to go nibbling!

ggrrreat day today!!! brekky: special k lunch: stew and peppermint tea dinner: thai green curry with prawns and wholegrain rice snack: ny cheesecake muller light went for a walk on the beach today and then went swimming (not in the sea!!) for an hour feel great. ive not lost much weight but...

thanks!i guess its a worry we all have!!

just wondering if anybody whos lost weight on xenical DOESNT have problems with loose skin? its something ive began to think about and im hearing lots of horror stories!!:confused:

awh well done!!

yikes!! brings lots of fat free snacks!

Today went well! delighted with myself as i went for a realllly long swim today im very tired but it was well worth it i feel great now! no brekky again im gonna have to stop doing that! then for dinner i had noodles and prawns cooked in lemongrass creamcheese sauce with a salad then i went...

exactly!! your the one paying for the meal, you have it cooked how you like!!

yeah im the same way, i lost 2 and a half stone last year and i couldnt feel it, i ended up putting on 3 stone! glad xenical stops me from binging!!

uurrgghh!!! Today i had no brekky, went out for lunch and had a bowl of soup with a slice of soda bread. the soup was chicken noodle and low and behold i have MORE oil after about an hour. for dinner i had cottage pie and a salad. i had no dinner last night because it was too late to eat so i...

Hi Chala, sorry to hear youve been having a rough few days!! someone on this forum said losing weight is a marathon not a sprint, and i think its important to remember. after a few weeks our motivation drops and we start going into the mode of "surely this wont hurt" ive done it myself...

wooohooo!!!

HI!! i dont believe it takes 5-7 days to enter your system because i got the orange oil after 24 hours!

Dont worry were all bound to have our little slip ups we are human after all! It can make you feel very down i know but cheer up!! this time next year you'll be a twig!!:hug99:

aww thats great im really pleased for you :D well done!

hi passiflora!! dont worry about asking questions- it makes the website way more fun. I had a quick look at the menu i would probably have the soup and then the seabass but id ask for lemon juice instead of the butter. but even still you can be sure! i went to dinner on tuesday last minute and i...

oh my god thats AMAZING!!! well done you :)

yeah it was pretty embarrassing being in a public loo! im fine now thanks!!

WOOHOOOO!!! congrats!! i bet your chuffed!!

yep anything fat-free is fine :)

excellent!! thank you both very much :D

hi vicky :) :) i drink roughly ten glasses of water a day, i always have a bottle with me otherwise id never drink it

Im having cottage pie tonight, just wondering about the gravy? i have low fat oxtail soup i think ill substitute it in. also, are mashed potatoes ok? without butter and milk i mean?

yeah i think the key is making sure you bulk up your meals LOTS with salad/veg. when we dont drink enough waterit can feel like were hungery too

Hi everybody :D Today i had: brekky: Benefit flakes with strawberries and bananas Lunch: WW chicken and lemon risotto with a salad Dinner: spagbol or cottage pie made with extra lean mince- havent decided yet feeling good today! my dinner from yesterday came back to haunt me at 2am and i...

yep im exactly the same! if food is put infront of me ill soon nibble and kfc is one of my downfalls!!

we are rougly the same age and start weight so i enjoy reading your stuff! well done on all your success im really glad its working for you :)

yum! what do the turkey rashers taste like? :D

yeah extra light philly is a godsend!

Hi everybody!! Thought this might be a good idea to share the products we use the most! the thing i couldnt live without is Swartz soy bacon bits, they're great on salads, baked potatoes and soups! :p

no it wasnt a sausage stuffing so hopefully its ok :) thanks!!

hmm unsure about today, eating all over the place. i had to go out for a meal so i had chicken and bacon (removed the skin) with stuffing, potato, carrots and green beans. i took my xenical so no doubt i will be paying the price tomorrow. i had no brekky this morning and ill probably have Fat...

that dinner sound yummy! congrats on picking yourself up :)

:talk017::talk017::talk017: thats EXCELLENT! Once you add exercise there'll be no stopping you!!

today i had: banana + cereal bar chili con carne with wholegrain rice and a salad special k with strawberries DELIGHTED to be back on xenical after my doc took me off for a trail period. luckly my problem seemed to have been caffine and not the tablets (as far as i can tell)so its all good :)

maybe you have an underactive thyroid? sea kelp tablets speed up the metabolism so you could try taking those too. remember were all here for ya hun!

sorry to hear about your friend, i have experienced something slightly similar so i know how hard it is. congrats on taking the control back- you deserve it!

hi chala. dont give up hun! remember each body is different and they say it takes 3 weeks for xenical to be in your system. it will probably all come off at once. chin up, we can all do this together

getting on great thank you!! been of the xenical for a bit (doctors orders) but been sticking to the diet so its all good. i havent weighed myself yet but i can definatly feel the difference! :D hows your 30 day shred going??

I take a multivitamin everyday so im not sure its that. i havent had anymore anyway, but cant WAIT to go back on the xenical!! thanks alot for the reply :D

Thanks ep! he said he doubts it but ive to come off them for 2 weeks grrr. still gonna stick to the 5g rule so im just hoping it doesnt knock me off!!! yeah there not pleasent are they?! :)

8lbs for me!!

Thanks guys really appreciate it! have an appointment at 3 today, hope he doesnt take meoff the tablets as anxiety is a side effect!

I will, thanks bunnyhops. wish i could be that calm during mine! :)

I feel my heart racing all of a sudden, and feel like i could faint if i focus too much, cant breathe, and start panicing that im going to have a heart attack of go insane or something. very bizzare. i have never had anything like this before, i may go to the doctor on wednesday about it

Hi all, this is hard to say without sounding a little crazy, but i have a bit of an issue. less then a month ago or maybe a bit longer i started to have pretty severe panic attacks. nothing has changed in my life and im a pretty happy person. Does anyone know if this is a side effect of xenical...

i did the same thing, were in this together- dont worry!!

its very hearty, like eating straight from the cob..but with a spoon!

I make sweetcorn soup which is very delicious!!

Dont worry about it. are you coming up to your TOTM? even if you arent, it'll show next week on the scales, you'll probably lose a bulk of weight next week

oh i didnt know that. I'll keep a WW meal in the microwave for when i get back! Thanks for that :D

I'm going out for a few drinks tonight, just wondering if i should take my xenical as usual or leave it out??
