    Vaniqa?

    I have been using it for about a year- it has definitely improved but you do have to keep up using it twice a day or it won't continue working. Although i think loosing 6 and a half stone so far has also helped this year

I think i am going to buy a heart beat monitor so I can use this whilst I work out to make sure im in the right limits. All I know is i dont know what caused it but...

    Why is fruit pointed on Discover?

    Because fruit has sugar in it, albeit naturally occuring sugar but sugar all the same. And sugar equals calories! Thats why i cant understand why pp its free- its not free at all!! lol Well im just biased because i love discovery!

    Fav meal with the least points??

    Turkey stirfry with LOADS of chinese veg and rice or a roast- dry roasted potatoes, chicken breast and loads of veg. With both you can get loads for really low points and will fill up you up!

    Sts

    We all get to stages within our journey of weight loss of sts and i did try the wendi plan a couple of times and it made no difference with my weight loss (not saying that it wouldn't for anyone else). I found that doing the kick start plan helped if you a bit stuck in a rut! (18 points for...

    Exercise split up throughout the day??

    Thats fantastic thankyou!! I shall test this method this week! I also think if you think of exercises split up into 10 minute or so sections it doesn't seem so daunting and makes it more managable! Also you regain strength inbetween exercises especially if your struggling with endurance. Anyone...

    Wii fit plus

    How easy would it be to stick to the old plan...

    What can I say, no- one likes change! It does sound similar to slimming world- which for me didn't work because all of these free food we were allowed. I know we have 0 points on WW but that is mostly just veg. For example on SW certain days these mugs shots with pasta would be free so whenever...

    No your not being over sensitive...I would say he is comfortable as describing himself as a 'fattie' and assumes you don't mind it either! I have had similar situations in the past. I wouldn't take it to heart...and i think we can all agree its a touchy subject for woman more than men anyway...
