How do you stop yourself from sabotaging? I have a huge amount of stress in my life at the moment and it seems for every week im "good" i have 1-3 weeks of being really bad!! I wont be able to return to group until mid January which isnt ideal especially as I have gained half a stone in the...

Me! Although I fear with my three week binge i will be back into the 16s rather than low 15s!! Every time I get to the same point I blow it and end up back where I started so am definitely up for some support!!

p_k, my allowance on the online tracker hasn't gone down by 3, I am on 35pp. i would presume that it would be an automatic change judging by comments from members on here who were on 29pp

I would most definitely save up my weeklies for the wine, you dont want to feel deprived!

there seems to be other threads for people losing x amount, i thought there may already be one for 5 stone but i couldnt find it :) I've not long switched from SW having switched from WW earlier in the year lol the grass always seems a little greener on the other side and now im back on WW i am...

Is there a "club" on here for people with 5 stone to lose? I've just restarted and have roughly 70lb to lose and could do with some motivation when im feeling low on willpower!

I still have quite a lot to lose, around the 5 stone mark I guess!

thank you, no im pretty pleased with half a stone although to be honest i have tried various other diets in that time!!

thank you :)

Well ,im looking at this thread and im totally gutted that I'm +7 on my last weigh in rather than -50!!!! Massive to well done to everyone!

Good morning Weight Watchers! I have kicked my denial into touch and I have rejoined weight watchers this morning. I have gained half a stone since May which I am not too miffed about, could have been worse but I still have lots to lose so hoping to have a kick start before Christmas and then...

really sorry to hear about your grandad but pleased to hear you are back on the wagon!

thanks for your advice. I've been putting off shopping for a few days now as I know i will just buy crap! Must go and stock up on good foods!

pretty much what has happened every day for the last 3 weeks! Good luck for your weigh in!

It's not my first week, I've been doing this since Feb! I had Easter 'off' as we were with family and i just havent been able to get back into it since. I'm binging on crisps, chocolate, anything really i can get my hands on! I had 17 extra points last night for no reason!

Ive been avoiding this thread as I have actually gained 3lb since starting!! I'm no longer in denial!

I'm really struggling at the moment and I dont know why! I don't restrict myself, so I am not deprived but yet I still feel the need to binge! Today is day three and I am already down to 20 weekly points with two parties planned for this weekend! I really dont know how to dig myself out of...

depends how you define "lucky" lol I'm on 35 and would prefer to be on 29 points daily as that would mean i weighed much less than i currently do!! I dont have a treat day as i weigh in the morning so i start that day as a new day / week ...although recently ive not been pointing much :mad::cry:

17pp for those two! Shocking! Wish I'd have pointed them before eating - i Wouldn't have bothered. I know that's the whole idea but I've really slipped into some very bad habits!

Completely screwed up my day by eating big bag of onion rings AND pretzels :( not even worked the pp out! I will make sure I do that later! Today is a new day, hopefully it will be a good one!

My wagon has not only thrown me off but I can no longer see it in the distance!! :wave_cry: I'm hoping that making a diary will help me find it somewhere! Today Daily Allowance: 35pp Breakfast - 5pp 2 weetabix - 3pp 142ml Milk - 2pp Lunch - 13pp 400g tin tomato soup - 6pp bread roll - 4pp...

keep at it!! Think of your beach body!

Lot's of fallen off the wagon threads!! Think we could all do with a little MOTIVATION!!! ...does anyone have any??? :p

lol oh how depressing!!!!!!!!!!!! Really need a good kick up the bum to get me on track!

erm :sigh::rolleyes::eek:

wow thats a big loss! Well done!

Not the best of topics but I am really suffering! Not only do I feel bloated all the time but it's really killing my motivation! When I have a take away or something with my weekly points, I'm fine the next couple of days yet towards weigh in I'm completely bunged so I'm thinking it's a lot to...

Well done!! Really spurred me on, I've been worried that I'll never get there, I've been doing it for 3 months now and still not reached my stone! Everyone else seems to get there in no time!

Of course! Cant promise any food though! :D

Wow!! Fantastic!! Well done you!

I don't weigh til Friday :)

If I'm putting it into the actifry I always point it as old raw and count the oil if I use it

that's against BBQ law!!! ;)

hope you see a good result!! I'm doing a 100% week so far! Hope it continues to Friday!

can you switch to vodka?

Well done!!

if you have used all your weekly points (or arent doing propoints) just draw a line under it and start from scratch tomorrow

warm weather to me means BBQ - sausages and burgers!!! Sod the salad lol

Good luck!! Do you have scales at home you can weigh on the next two mondays? (id get on now though so you know the difference in the WW scales and your own!)

good luck!!

reheating later is probably the best option. I like to use my points in my meals rather than snacks now as I found I was having lots of crap - crisps, chocolate, junk in one day just to bulk my points!

It's not every meal, I'm not over eating so small plates wont work...plus I'd feel deprived eating off a side plate when everyone else is eating off "normal" plates, thats why I chose weight watchers, so I can eat what everyone else is and not feel like I cant have thing. It's just every now...

I'm still not convinced but I do eat them all!!

indeed!! Need to be skinny for summer!

Thanks! I'll get looking for a Tuesday group! Theres plenty in my area I just hoped not to have to go down that route!

I feel your pain. My IBS doesnt have a consistant trigger which is really frustrating, can be anything for me. I've been doubled up today too but I had a take away last night so I'm putting it down to that! Hope you feel better soon! Have you been prescribed anything for it?

yeah good thanks :) 100% day for me! How about you?

I dont eat a lot of free foods and I've been doing it 3 months now.

I was thinking Monday or Tuesday, but thought Monday might be too early to show. Anything passed Wednesday is the run up to the weekend! Also, when I join how would I do this on e source? Is it easy to change days? Worried about using too many weekly points or having an untrue weigh in.

I only really use full fat anyway! (apart from milk, i still have semi) I normally weigh everything separate not as a whole. Think of it like this: spaghetti bolognese, I've got 60g of pasta - 6pp, veg, mince - 6pp. Once it's all mixed together how do I know how many points I have eaten...

I currently weigh on a Friday and feel that just spares me to eat whatever I want on a weekend so Im thinking of joining a class. What day is best to weigh in with regards to weekends? If I have a bad weekend when does it show?

I've got back into the terrible habit of eating everything on my plate - because I have pointed my meal and I don't want to waste points! How do I get around this as I don't want to be eating a lot less points than I have accounted for but at the same time I don't want to eat for the sake of it!

Quick Potato Salad Recipe - Allrecipes.com this one looks pretty good as in full flavours. I probably wouldnt use that much mayo and obviously depends on the weight of potatoes.

Me too!! Hannata (start 19/04/11) : 0 of 50 lost Tush : 0 of 50 lost Now-or-never: 0 of 50 lost Fatty_no_more: 0 of 50 DanielleNic: 0 of 50 lost Cosmic Star: 0 of 50 lost

Yip, the race is on!! 14lb here we come!

I gained 3!!! :(

Great news!!! I've been half and half today lol

Is there one a little further out you can attend?

well done!

Race you to a stone lol

Well done for going! hopefully you can carry your motivation forward! Another 100% day here! Feeling peckish so will go and have some fruit in a mo to stop me reaching for the kitkats!!!

I always put 0 if it's not there

It's ok I don't mind paying if it's useful!!

the only one i can find is 59p, is it the same one? By DavoliApps.

Can anyone please recommend ww calculator / tracker apps or websites I can use using my iPod browser (ie not Flash)

good luck! Let us know how you get on!! Are you feeling motivated today?

i have looked but cant find anything!! i have asked in this thread for recommendations!

That's a very good point! I do that a lot and I'm presuming the calculator only knows what data you in put to it so without a book on me at all times I wouldnt know the points to what I'm eating :confused:

I agree with drawing a line, otherwise you will find an excuse to drag it on until next weigh in and maybe beyond! Also bite the bullet and go get yourself weighed! It may be the inspiration you need to carry on. Good luck!

Im actually quite shocked about this! I understand the whole 1 stone off and then free for life but weight loss is all about making your life better, so what if you dont want to be super skinny just healthy but the doctor disagrees with you? I know once I'm in my BMI healthy range I look ill...

I weigh in on a Friday

i'll keep my fingers crossed!!!

Aww, sorry to hear your day wasnt good!! My afternoon was good, a 100% day for me :)

I thought we set our own goals?

I've just looked at my billing date and I actually have a fair while until I need to think about cancelling my subscription, just depends how long the books take to come. I dont know anyone who attends a class and I dont want to join a class just to get the goodies! I will use the time to look...

Is that your only class in the area? It's been a while since I did ww in class but when I did sw there was always a talk before the main class. The 49 points are your weekly allowance. Points on top of the daily ones. I'm still to get to grips with these, whether or not they hinder my weight...

do the books cover the things that are online though? i like the fact I have the tracker on my ipod too.

I am looking at the online store and have come across a pack of books (Track, Eat Out, Shop) and calculator. Can I get by with these alone? I am currently an online subscriber Would save me £10 a month if I can!

Thought I'd check in half way through the day and see how you were getting on! I'm really motivated this morning! Hope it continues into the afternoon! I took lots of low point / free snacks to work, makes all the difference! Had a nice big 11 point lunch where as I would normally try and...

best plan what im going to eat now!! lol we certainly can do it and we will!

Right lady, tomorrow WE are going to have a 100% day!!!

Think i will!! Hope it doesnt take as long to come as yours!

Oh no, that is really worrying! Did you get a fax confirmation to make sure it went through? Wondering what the best way to do it is! I cant believe that in this day in age they dont have a proper online store!

that's worrying! have you contacted them?

I've lost 12.5lb. I still have another 57.5lb to go!!! Maybe it's because we are so close to our 1 stone goal! Not logical but it seems pretty odd! I've not tracked any food since Saturday! Just been ramming anything and everything in my mouth but I've been pretty bad as I say for about 2...

yeah,here: WeightWatchers.co.uk: Shop - Food

welcome back!

I'd eat something too, probably too late to answer this thread now tho! lol

good luck! Will you be doing it from home or meetings?

You can have anything on weight watchers, however I found that the points are quite high on a lot of things that you could have for free on SW. Jacket potatoes and baked beans being one of them! Good luck on your weight watchers journey!

Has anyone ordered anything from the online store? I just had a nosy at the T&C and it says delivery can take up to 28 days! Hoping that is just to cover their back and that it doesnt actually take that long!

I feel exactly the same, in fact I logged on looking for some inspiration! I've been like this for 2 weeks now! I wake up with such good motivation every morning which lasts until I get into the kitchen! All my summer stuff is too small and its making me feel like I may as well not bother! This...

I find the online tracker very useful, especially as 2+2 doesnt always equal 4 but that is all I really use it for. I do find this forum better than the weight watchers community. In my opinion the online tracker alone is worth the joining fee, especially with the cash back!

Just for the egg?? Id rather have something else than plain chocolate for that!!

A 14 right now but that's because I'm bigger, I think when I'm a 14 I'll want more off!

have you worked out the points of 1?

I do, as I said in my post above I don't eat diet foods! Maybe we just have more points to use than you! Every meal I have carbs at the recommended portion which is a reduction in what I used to eat. I find that filling enough to be honest so dont want to up the portion sizes. After eating 3...

Really sorry to gear that, thats horrible! Men just don't think! He probably thought you'd see the funny side if it. Us big girls are all happy, smily and bubbly like Dawn French! I once had a bloke at work make a few comments to me, then met his daughter who was actually bigger than me! Made...

I am the same! I too blame sw!! I do try and curb the cravings but having low pp but not low fat/sugar snacks is really the only way for me. It feels naughty and rids the craving. Spray cream and a crumbled flake over fruit is one of my favourites.

See I don't tend to eat 'diet' food at the moment (weight watchers products / low fat options etc) purely due to the fact I'm struggling to eat points! Yesterday I ate chips for dinner and had sweets and crisps outside of my meals! I did go into my weekly points as I do try and use a big chunk...

Wow even more impressive!

Well done! Maybe you ate rubbish but over all ate less than you normally would?

Is it wrong that I now want to eat 3 cream eggs? lol I find the best way for me to beat a binge is to point it before i start eating, it doesnt half put you off! (im a comfort and boredom eater) Works 90% of the time anyway!

I am an online subscriber so do not have any books. Can I get them anywhere? Are they the ones that you can buy on the online store?

that sounds yum, how big are they? Mini milk size?

I am using all my points but find that i am eating too much junk to make up my points as I dont want to come stuck when i get closer to goal! Does anyone have tips how I can eat all my points without bulking up on rubbish? My weight loss is really slow and I think this is the big problem

well in that case, even more well done! Hope you have a fantastic honeymoon!

Wow we have lost the same weight but I've only gone down half a size lol Well done to you!

Having had a little look at my tracker I found this page Simply Filling but it doesnt give much information! Where do you find the foods? In your tracker? Does that mean you are eating zero propoints for all your meals apart from your 49 weekly points?

well done! An amazing achievement!

I have children and a partner, we eat the same meals and we have the same treats, I just have less. I point everything and use my weekly points if need be. For me the most important thing is not feeling like im not allowed something. That is just a massive nail in my diet coffin!

Do you go to class or do it from home yourself?

You say the amount of exercise isnt budging the scales - what about inches? How long are you keeping up with the tweaks you are making to the plan? If you only follow a certain tweak for 1 week maybe thats not enough time for it to actually take effect. If your consultant isnt being helpful...

Been away for a while! Have lost 3lb in that time :) Laurenasha 14lb (-15LBS with 1 more WI to go) Cosmic Star 7lb (-4lb, 3lb to go) Beki 8lb (-1.5lb, +0.5lb, 7lb to go) Rednicola 7lb (-2.5lb,-2lb, -2.5lb) target met Chika 14lb xjacqui37x 7lb - 2.5lbs lost (4.5lb to go) yummymummy 75 3lb to...

Blimey, im impressed a cup a soup fills you up for that long! I'm normally hungry after an couple of hours regardless what i eat lol good on you for getting planning, i find it really helps me but there are days where i just cannot be bothered, and it really does make a difference!

i think if you want to go to class and go online you need the monthly pass.

Welcome from another ex-SWer!! I found it quite hard to get out of the SW mind set when it came to free foods, especially packets, they can be pretty high in points! (pasta n sauce, savoury rice types) but find I eat a varied diet now rather than jacket potato and beans every day!! the sky is...

Well your head was right, a cup a soup wouldn't have!! In that time i consume roughly 15+ points!! My lunch alone is normally at least 10-15 points, plus snacks! How many points are you on per day?

Well done at getting it all on the tracker, at least you haven't ignored it! Can I just ask what the reason for the binge was? Do you deprive yourself of things through out the day? This is the first diet where i have not changed my lifestyle, just eaten less and I dont feel that I cannot have...

I dont have that book but you make very good points! (no pun intended!)

How frustrating! Have you measured yourself to see if there is a loss there?

As a size 16 I wouldnt say I was obese either but I do have 5 stone to lose so maybe I am!

Do ryvita crackers really make a good alternative taste wise as well as point wise?

Hello :) Good luck for your week!

i always use all my points. I havent really changed what im eating at all, just less of it! I still have full fat mayonnaise even though the low fat is so much lower points, the taste just is not worth the compromise!

I'll never get into the singles for anything lol anything other than obese would be a blessing though!

im a bit confused, there are no half points on the propoint plan. Are you sure you have the correct calculator?

I lost 1lb! laurenasha 14lb (-4lb 10lb to go) Cosmic Star 7lb (-1lb, 6lb to go) Beki 8lb Rednicola 7lb Chika 14lb Jem292 8lb -1lbs lost xjacqui37x 7lb - 2lbs lost yummymummy 75 3lb to goal Erinw 7lb Zelah 7lb UK-Dancer 7lb Louisa78 7lb Wildtrapeze 8lb miss_marshmallow 8lbs michellethegooner...

i presume the NI on the pack is dried and the online tracker is made up

I weigh the potatoes whole and then chop and spray...

I'm on week 5 (i think!) and I started over 16 stone. I have lost 7lb and I feel that it is a lot slower than I'd have thought for my weight. I need to keep reminding myself that it's not a diet, I am eating what I want within my points and I am doing that and losing a little bit of weight at...

My scales are always on the floor in the same position so there's no chance of different reading!

blimey that's a lot!!!

I bulk mine out with butternut squash or take the hit on the points if I need a real carb fix!

The dress is just gorgeous! Congrats at getting into a 14! What size did you start from?

That is fantastic! Well done!

That drives me mad! Normally end up using calculator!!! Plus the scrolling through the numbers rather than being able to type in!

neither of those are listed on the esource :( there isn't an awful lot of brewers fayre foods

Ah! Just noticed the made up measure which is 250 ml. Using that I get it to be 4 points - this is more realistic!

I've worked out the points on a knorr dried pepper sauce, I'm getting it as free but surely not :confused: NI per 100g Protein: 0.9 Carbs: 5 Fat: 3 Fiber: 0.2 Serving: 30g

Irene 4 lb Cosmic Star 7lb

My WI is Friday! I'm heavy too but the loss is going slow for me at the moment, I've lost 7lb in 4 weeks so will go for the same again! :)

I'm gonna go for 7lb!

I'm glad I have the online function because if you were going off books then you will miss the odd extra point which happens quite often when you have more than one portion I have found.

I cant stand the stuff! It's one of those things that I will myself to like but it's just no good!

so far i've done day 1 & 2 backwards (1 weeky point yesterday, 5 weekly points today), tomorrow is day 3, what to have!!

Jump back into it feet first! Have a nosy through the recipe boards and plan your week ahead! Good luck for next weeks WI!

I gained weight with the implant! Really struggled (and never managed!) to get rid of the weight. Had a year long period too.

What are the aim of the challenges in the sticky section?

Hi Kelly, good luck for your first WI!

well done you!! the dress is gorgeous!

Well done!!

I dont use oil either, I use fry light! Works just as well :)

Could have wrote that myself!! This is why I chose to join WW over SW as I always end up binging after weigh in!! I havent done that once on WW. I do feel that if I dont use my weekly points then I may end up doing the same, but I also want to get the weight off, and sooner rather than later...

If I go out, I tend to use them all in one go, I like creamy sauces and bread! However if I have no nights out planned I tend to just let my meals run over into my weekly points if that makes any sense at all!! My weigh in is this morning and nights out are normally either tonight or tomorrow...

All you can do really is jump back on the wagon and start pointing again. You might not have eaten lots but a lot of things dont look a lot until you weigh them! Good luck for WI!

Interesting!! Will try and not use them this week, although I have already planned a take away with friends this weekend!

Do you use your full weekly allowance? I'm in my first month and my weight loss is really slowing. Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, having a few stone to lose I thought that I would be losing 2+ lb a week sticking to the plan! I have my full daily and weekly allowance - isn't this what...

When I went to see the doctor about IBS I was really lucky to have one that also suffered so was able to give me lots of basic pointers! Do you keep a food diary? If not it may be worth keeping one and varying your diet, keeping a close eye on the dates that you suffer badly and see if the...

I know, i couldnt believe it. I have 2 different surfaces in my living room so it depends whether it's on the hard surface or the rug as well as the position on each surface

If you go through quidco you get money back too!

the actifry is my best ever kitchen purchase! It's used every single day!

It's just online but it's very straight forward I've found so far. You can purchase books from what I can gather on the store.

My wiifit is very unreliable! It really does depend where in the room I put it, and it varies by half a stone right up to 2 stone either side even an inch from where it was before!

Portion sizes, especially carbs!! I havent really changed anything else, I still have FF mayo etc the major difference is i have really increased my fruit and veg intake. I tend to fill up my plate with them instead of the potatoes or pasta I used to!

does the weight watcher app only cover propoints?

any reason they cant get their own food???? Well done for not giving in! You shouldnt be starving though on this plan!

I didnt think it would be recommended but it taught me that if i over indulge i have to cut back elsewhere!! What about dividing the cookies into freezer bags? Would you be able to portion control then? Just have 1 bag a day?

I make mine in my actifry rather than the oven. They take about 25 minutes!

I did this on my second week. I balanced it out by eating a few less points every day so i wasnt doing as much damage. Not sure if that's recommended but it did work for me, i saw a loss that week! I did however lose next to nothing on week 3 WI so i would be wary of it catching up with you...

Is this the same as the ProPoints? I'm doing it online so not sure if there is a difference!

Your weight can fluctuate majorly day to day, hour to hour so I wouldn't lose too much heart until you weigh at the same time tomorrow before the WW WI.

good luck :)

I've had such a piggy day today! I'm so annoyed with myself :sigh: I was already over my weekly points and went over my points again today pushing the negative weekly figure a little higher! :mad: I really need to get back on the wagon and put it behind me, I am really bad for letting this...

I was brought up as a member of the Clean Plate Club. Moving in with my husband saw no "proper" cooking happening but more convenience food and much much much bigger portions being consumed! That and lack of exercise!! The weight has been going off and on for years and now it's time to be...
