I love our meetings, We arrive and hang out, chatting until we're called in by our leader. We sign in at the table by the door and then wait in a (rough) queue to be weighed. During our turn our leader asks how the week went and answers any short queries we have. Then it's a quick trip to...

Thank you Littlestar. I'm loving the ww plan. Best thing I ever did for myself. Incidentally i've just seen my stats under my username, and thanks to WW i have now moved down a BMI bracket. I'm now under 50 so I have moved from "super obese" to merely "morbidly obese". It doesn't sound better...

Hey. May I jump in? I've been doing F&H since I joined WW in august, as of this evening's weigh in i've lost 3 stone 3 lb! I'm now at the point where I'm having to be a little more careful with my portion sizes, got a bit complacent, over-ate and gained last week, but got back on track with a...

I hate to tell you this but weetabix aren't free on f&h either...according to my tracker they are 3 pp for 2 biscuits. If in doubt with cereals, look at the ingredients. If one of them is sugar, then they are no good. So anything wholegrain, with no added sugar, fruit or nuts. You can have...

I pay, i need the structure of the meetings etc. I did do it on my own previously, but didn't stick to it.

Hey. My husband has a bottle of a really nice lithuanian mead, funnily enough it doesn't turn up on the WW app. Anyone know how i can figure out the pp for it? It's 50% proof. Thanks in advance. I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure it out.

Another wednesday night-er here. Having a fab time. Lost 21lb over 10 weeks.

I can't comment on SW but i've been with WW a while doing *only* filling and healthy (no full counting at all) and have lost 21lb in 10 weeks...don't know if that helps ^_^

Thinking through what i used to eat lunch would probably be 600-1000 calories, dinner would be probably about 1000 to 2000 a go. My portion control was non-existent :( Now lunch is between 300 and 500 and dinner is up to 800, snacks are around the 35-50 range on average with two "highland...

Hey all. I'm just heading into week 3 of my calorie counting and i need some advice. I'm allowing about 1750 calories at the minute but i don't know how to spread those out over the day. I'm finding myself eating most of them (up to 1000 cal) in the afternoon/evening, my dinners are usually my...

How about origami stars? The first few may not quite end up the right shape but they're easy to make once you've got it down. You could use up wrapping paper scraps or any colourful paper you have around. Also...so stealing this idea! I'm very visual, and seeing the one jar dwindle and the...

Hey all, thank you for the kick in the pants. :) I'm doing much better. I'm slowly figuring out lots of tasty and satisfying things to eat. My problem has always been that i'm a grazer, so i'm making sure i have plenty of low-cal snacks about, but also making sure that they aren't things i can...

Kinda, i tend to obsess over it at first. Spreadsheets and all kinds of things. My main problem right now is keeping my portion sizes sensible.

I'm counting calories. Call me GP by the way :) It's faster to type :D

I'm on day 2 of my diet and need some tough love. It's now that reality always kicks in for me. This is what i need to do, but i'm hungry, not just in a snacking mood, i'm "oh my god pass the salt this sofa looks delicious" hungry. We're also on a very *very* low income and affording my diet...

Only day 2 and already struggling, i'm *ravenous*. Unfortunately my portion control is what causes me problems and i know from past experience that after a while i won't get as hungry but right now i could eat the sofa! You know, a bit of salt, sprinkle of garlic powder. Yummy! I've just...

I did so well before, lost a load, then i got bored and stopped. However, I want to start a family and I need to do what would be best for baby so I'm losing again. Target is 16 stone by my 29th birthday in 2015. *sigh* here's hoping i can stick to it this time.

pouring myself full of peppermint tea and mints, getting way too much sugar to be good for my diet but can't put up with the nausea. Going to see doctor. Blech. :sigh:

Day 3 of nausea. Driving me crazy. No idea what's causing it, if i'm not improving by the end of the week i'm going to the doctors. I've been known ot have gallbladder issues in the past. Maybe it's something to do with that.

Weigh in day 20 st 5 lb It's a small loss, but it's a loss. I'm getting back on track. I don't think i'm being strict enough really but i'm going to knuckle down and get it right :)

Despite my slight weight gain this week i've just bought a novelty t-shirt (marvel avengers, love it) and it's an XL, prior to this i was weraing an XXL. So chuffed :) I think the weight loss is a combination of being on my monthlies and just hitting a brief plateau as it looks like i've already...

Weigh in is being moved to a saturday because it's going to be more practical for us. However i seem to be at 20 st 6 today.

This week has been a diet disaster. Not through lack of willpower but purely because we've had a lot of stuff going on and food was grabbed on the go, usually by a friend and then bought to us, i did what i could though. I'm not expecting a big loss, in fact i'm half expecting to have gained...

Thanks DiamondDoll :) When I joined minimins i was advised by someone to try to write something in my diary every day to keep my head "in the zone" but i'm awful at keeping diaries lol, so i write something whenever i need to vent/am pleased/need support or if something significant happens. It...

Weigh in day Current weight: 20 Stone 7 lb Haven't weighed this little (lol) in years. I'm determined to get to my target! I messed up a little this week, falling back into old habits, but i'm not letting it beat me, i've started this new week as i mean to go on, lots of veg and lots of...

That's awesome, i now live in bourne, just next door (relatively speaking ) to grantham! Lol, small world. Lovely place. I hope i can do half as well in my weight loss as you're done in yours!

Nope, starting at just over 21 stone. I set myself a target of 16 tone initially but have changed it to 14 stone 2 :) Hey, you're form north staffs! That's where i'm originally from. Lived in cannock for most of my early life and spent 6 years in stoke. Got bored and moved to lincolnshire, lol!

Hello all. I started my journey aiming to lose about 75 lb, but i've realised that at 16 stone and only 5ft 1 tall i'll still be very very overweight. So i've moved my goalposts. I want to aim for my century instead. I've made a good start losing 9lb in two weeks. Once i hit my centruy i...

Ok, re-weigh done and i'm at 20 stone 9 lb! W00t!!!!!!!:bliss:

Ok, re-weigh complete. Current weight: 20 stone 9 lb. A much more significant loss than it first seemed! I have also made a decision. I'm adjusting my target. I want to lose a century, that will put me at just over 14 stone which i think for my height is a much more sensible weight than the...

A Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso cross rescue dog called Mop. A tabby british shorthair with a cute squished in face called TG. Also a rescue. And a Black and white cat called Moo. He was born here while we fostered his mother.

Week 1 was a 4lb loss, week 2 was a 2lb loss. However i've had some...um, digesstive issues that make me think that week 2's weigh in may not be quite right. I'm re-weighing this morning. Wish me luck!

I've not been overly well over the last couple of days so i think my weigh in yesterday was a little off. I'm going to re-weigh later with hubby's help to make sure it's accurate. I think i may have lost another lb or two.

Weigh in day Current weight 20 stone 11. That's half a stone lost. I am chuffed beyond belief. half a stone in two weeks is incredible. Treats this week: icecream, biscotti, chocolate biscuits. It snowed today, the dog is having a great time. We're heading to the park tomorrow, lots of...

tapas

I feel so bloomin' rough. Backache, stuffy nose, facial pain. I can't even wear my glasses and my face feels like it's an over inflated balloon just set to rip. I don't want to eat. I have zero appetite but i've had an orange and 2 biscuits today. The biscuits were to try to kick in my...

Taste

It didn't take long. 20 mins tops. :)

Grilled salmon with salad and white beans. Only problem now is i'm not sure i want it :( I'm really low today and can't figure out what i actually want. Oh well. Maybe a nice chicken sandwich like last night, i enjoyed that. Edit: Sorry, i've had a derp and posted in a thread for a diet i'm not...

I'm just learning to crochet. Can't knit to save my life but i seem to be ok at this. Only problem i'm having is keeping my tension right. I'm sure it'll come with practice though.

Week two and i think i'm off the wagon a little, i haven't been eating anywhere near enough veg. Going to remedy that from today onwards. My current fave is broccoli so i'm haing half a plate of steamed broccoli with some garlic and salt and pepper with dinner. Got to keep it going! Off to have...

Well, at weigh in i'd lost 5 lb. I'm pleased beyond belief :D My week so far, not bad, i've realised i've not eaten enough veg ove rthe last couple of days though so i'm going to remedy that from today on. I'm thinking of signing up for a regular vegetable box delivery from a local farm, that...

Hey tennisfan. I'll have to see about getting a copy of that book, it sounds very interesting. I'm now finding that i'm adapting to smaller portions a bit and the hunger isn't so bad or frequent any more. I realised that going from my old portions to normal ones all at once was not a good idea...

Weigh in Day Current weight: 20 stone 13 lb. 5lb loss A fantastic first loss! I'm chuffed to bits! Now let's see how we go from here. I havne't deprived myself, in fact over the course of the week i've had icecream, a small portion of fries, chocolate, jaffa cakes and so many delicious...

So, on sunday ( i think) i had a weak moment and weighed myself early. It wasn't a proper weigh in but it showed about a 3-4lb loss, i've only been on the plan since thursday so i'm pleased. Before this i was struggling with the diet, finding myself bored already. I think it was mostly...

Well i've been having problems with the diet and decided to weigh myself this morning in a terrible lack of self-control. I started on thursday....i appear to have lost between 2 and 3 pounds already! Omg! :eek::angel09::thankyouthankyou: And it wasn't even a proper weigh in, just a very...

So, here we go again. Slimfast didn't work out for me so i'm trying low GI on my doctor's recommendation. Weigh in day is Saturday. Starting weight: 04/01/2013 21 stone 4 lb. How humiliating :'( Target weight: 14 stone 2 lb It's only my first target, after reaching it i'll probably...

Aha! Never Mind, apparently it just takes a little while for the system to figure out you've hit the target. I've got my extra space and the ability to upload an avatar now if i wish.

Yes, i'm looking forward ot the extra space that 50 posts will get me, but for now when i had 16 posts the signaute editing box toldm me i had 150 characters after code markup, at 21 posts it still says i have 150 characters, i don't understand why it didn't increase once i went over 20.

Hi, i'm mildly confused, i have gotten to 20 posts but my signature allowance hasn't increased. Do i need to request this or...? Thanks in advance.

My finger nails. I know, weird. However, i bit them for years until extensive orthodontic treatment meant i couldn't bring my front teeth together any more. (Plastic plate covering *all* of my molars/premolars while everything in my mouth moved around) My nails began to grow and get stronger...

Thanks shakenmore. Thing is, i'm really not sure what a suitable portion is, i have no clue if lunch was ok, or way too big :( I guess i'll figure it out over time. on the bright side i have discovered that oranges knock my comfort food/sweets cravings on the head...quick, buy stock in...

I had the same, the doctor wanted me to lose at least 7lb first. I managed and was put on them right away. Best of luck. x

Has anyone combined the two? How did it work for you? I have about a months worth of Orli left but i'm seeing the dietician on the 22nd for the first time so i'm not sure what to do.

Ok, in an effort to get this under control lunch has been: two open faced sandwiches on stone ground bread topped with chicken thigh meat, tomatoes, cabbage, houmous and onion/low fgat cottage cheese with pineapple. (I try to have a little variation in the sandwiches so i don't get bored) I'm...

Thanks for the tips guys. Regarding the fact that i'm so hungry all the time, do you think i should have slightly larger portions for now and reduce them again once i'm used to it, or should i just have another snack (a sensible sized one) when the hunger/pain hits really bad? I think the...

Hey all. I'ma newbie with a lot of weight to lose and on my doctor's advice i've started on the Low GI diet, but i'm struggling. I have serious emotional/mental issues around food and my weight has largely come about because of them, massive portions, sneaking food from the cupboards and...

Well, i had to go to the doctor in the end anyway. The decision was taken out of my hands as i was told to fast for 24 hours to settle my system. My appetite's been screwed thanks to the pain and nausea. I asked the doctor about dieting while ill and he said that you shouldn't go back to...

I know that the answer is probably to ask my doctor but it's crazy-o-clock right now and i'm curious. I've had flu and had no appetite for a week and i've now ended up with acute bronchitis for which i will be taking antibiotics, i also have an upset tummy. Is it a good idea to diet while...

So, i fell off the wagon for a week and now i've been dieting in earnest for about 3 weeks. Weighed myself this morning. I've lost ten pounds! I am so pleased, i'm not even folowing the plan 100% i'm replacing some shakes with low-cal meals and loving it!

So, i'm in my first week and i was naughty and weighed in on the tuesday rather than the friday. I've lost 4.5 pounds! I can't believe how easy i've found this. I am overjoyed! Thank you to everyone who has helped me through this first week. Can't wait for the final verdict on Friday!

I was naughtly today and weighed myself before my scheduled day. I've lost 4.5 pounds! I am super psyched! Getting pas tthe hunger pangs has been hard, but when i think about it i havne't been depriving myself of food volume-wise, i think it's mostly in my mind, i'm on a diet, therefore i must...

So, first full day and i'm ravenous, i think i'm still having some scheduling problems with my snacks beacuse of my funny hours. I'll figure it out. I've made a nice long list of tasty sounding 100 cal snacks which will be easy to take to work with me. Just need to pick up the ingredients. I...

Bananas aren't an option in this house, unfortunately my husband is extrodinarily allergic to them, even if i pick one up and then put it back down, even an hour later, touching his skin will cause massive hives. Shame really, i like bananas.

So, today i picked up a can of the chocolate shake, it's delicious! Only problem is that right now it's leaving me quite hungry, to be fair i've only had one shake and i haven't snacked...in truth i haven't eaten properly today at all, i'm on weird hours at work right now and it's thrown me...

No, i haven't but some of my family members have. I've tried calorie controlled, fat controlled and carb controlled diets before and i was also put on orlistat (which gave me awful headaches) the only one that worked was low carb but i ended up putting it all back on fairly quickly.

Thank you, i'm kinda nervous and really excited!

Hi, so, a bit about me: 24 years old, over 20 stone, bmi of 56, only 5` tall. My husband and i want to start a family and losing the weight will help with that. I currently wear a size 28 and want to be in a size 18. I work in an office as a debt collector for a huge german company that...

Is there a sainsburys equivalent to Slim Fast? I know there's tesco's ultraslim but our car has broken down and sainsbury is a much easier option. I've looked online but got muddled by the inclusion of some irrelevant stuff in the list. It's close enough to walk to buy something but not to...

Howdy. I'm a slimfast newbie who is looking forward to getting started. Unfortunately that won't be for a few days and up to a week yet. I'm 24 years old, weigh over 20 stone and am only 5ft tall. I'm a debt collector but work in the office doing 10 hour days so exercise time is limited...
