Congratulations you have done so well, thank you for sharing you story and photos with us, I sat her with my mouth wide open looking at your photos, all I can say is WOW. You did it girl!!

Hi Tracey, nice to see you here too. I will look at everyones diaries soon, thanks.

Hi, I've started low calorie, low diet fat last Wednesday and taking Xenical too, I've joined the Xenical forum too but it's soooo quiet over there and I really need somewhere to post and connect with others daily for the motivation so here I am. I'm 45, 5 foot tall and weighed 177 lbs (which...

Hi Tracey, I've got 4 stone to lose to get me to 8 and half stone, I'm only 5ft tall and even 8 and half stone is a bit heavy for me I looked my best at 7 and half stone. I don't seem to lose weight if I eat more than about 1300 calories but I will research this more now you have mentioned it...

Well done, you are doing amazingly well, congratulations on your fab weight loss so far. I'm eating low calorie, low fat which I think is what RC is all about, I bought the RC magazine the other day it has some inspirational stories in and you are one too!

So today is day 4 of taking the tablets and still going strong, I can't believe how good I've been with no cheating what so ever. I'm keeping the calories to about 1200 and 1300 and fat very low, I could probably eat more fat but don't seem to need it. Here is an example of what I've been...

Thanks.

I took a trip to the doctor yesterday, I hoped she'd give me Xenical and she did, YAY! So off to the chemist I did go, This was the last day I wasn't going to feel low! I got my little blue pills called Orlistat, They are going to help me fight the big fight against FAT, Fat is what I am and...

Can I join the next challenge please, how does it work, do we weigh in once a week and when will it be starting, thanks. Ruth

Hi, thanks for you post, you are doing really well having lost 17lbs, keep up the good work! I got my prescription today and took my first capsule with my lunch at 12pm. I'm feeling really motivated at the moment, I'm keeping a food diary as well and I'm going to start a dairy on here, do you...

I've got my appointment with G.P tomorrow I just hope she agrees to giving me Xenical, wish me luck. I've decided not to eat ready meals at all but cook from scratch instead, I have an order from Tescos coming tomorrow and I've spent all evening writing down in a notebook all the foods I think...

Hi, I have an appointment with my G.P on Wednesday to see if she will prescribed me Xenical. I'm 45 years old and have 5 stone to loose, I can't believe I got this big! I'm only 5 foot tall, I should weigh about 8 stone but weigh just under 13 stone, I have a bad back and painful feet so don't...

Well done Dinx, see you can do it!

Hi, I love your sense of humour and have enjoyed reading your post, I'm following Weight Watchers as it's worked for me in the past, good luck on your plan. I look forward to hearing how you are getting on, where will you post on a regular basis so I can catch up with you. Ruth

Well done on you 2lb loss, keep up the good work!

Hi, thanks for the welcome. Where about in Essex are you? I'm having to start tomorrow now as Tesco's cancelled my food delivery yesterday because of the snow, hoping it gets through today so I can start doing this properly tomorrow, i'm rareing to go! Ruth

Fantastic, feels good doesn't it!! That's incentive for me, I start tomorrow. Ruth

Hi Dinx, good to hear that you remember me.

Hi, I'm starting WW tomorrow, good luck with it. Ruth

Well done on losing 8lb in your first week, I was wondering what diet or way of eating are you following? Ruth

Hi, I'm starting WW tomorrow and doing it on my own at home. Good luck, Ruth

Hi, I'm starting WW tomorrow at home so can I join you and hopefully be supportive to each other. I lost 2 stone but have put on 12lbs so I know it works, it's sticking with it that's had for me as when I get tired or stressed I just binge. Good luck with your WI tomorrow! Thanks, Ruth

Hi, I'm starting WW Discover tomorrow, can I join you and be your buddy? I need all the support I can get. I did lose 2 stone but I have put back on about 12lbs. I'm also from Essex, from Leigh-on-Sea. I'm 44 and mum to two lovely girls aged 4 and 15. The youngest keeps me very busy but when I...

Hi Dinx, I don't know if you will remember me, we used to post to each other back in April last year, when I was trying to do Weight Watchers too. I haven't been on here for a long time. I've been up and down with my weight tried Atkins which I totally believe in but just can't stick with for...

Hi, Welcome back to WW, I'm doing Discover too I think it works better than Pro Points. I think it's do-able for you to lose 13lb in 5 weeks. I'll look out for you on the boards, good luck with your weight loss. Take care, Ruth

Well done, I can imagine how you felt that's brilliant!

I have so many, lol. I'm doing discover so my points come out less than for PP. Pink and whites are a life saver for just 1/2 point Meringue nests 1 point Shape Delight choc dessert warmed up in the microwave 1.5 points and served over the pink and white which then melt all gooey, yummy or...

Thanks for the link.

I have eaten the shiritaki noodles, not that nice really. I bought them for just over a pound a packet from the local Chinese supermarket. They are very rubbery and you can't really chew them so cut them up small as you have to swallow the bits whole. They come out the pack smelling a bit...

Hi everyone, I'm doing Discover too and I agree it's much better than the new Pro Points. I used to go meetings then stopped as couldn't afford them, then joined again when PP came out got all the new stuff, the book, the t.shirt sorry the calculator :D but couldn't stick with for some reason...

Hi, I had a prolasped disc and had a spianal fusion operation for it just over 15 years ago. It didn't really help much I'm afraid to say, just wondering what day operation you are having? I've tried all sorts of different things which didn't really help. Most days now it's OK but when I do...

This is my first weigh in since joining the WW boards, I'm doing Discovery points. I have lost 3.5lbs this week, I'm not happy though as the last two days I didn't stick with it and put on 1/2 lb each day. (I weigh myself everyday, I can't help it) so I would have lost 4.5lb at least if I had...

Hi, how are you today, I said I would drop by and say Hi, so here I am. You are doing really great much better than me, I'm having a bad eating day today. Did you watch the wedding, I thought it was lovely, she looked beautiful. I'll PM you when I have time, so look out for a private message...

Hiya Lozzie thank you for the welcome and nice comments, I agree, Discover is the best, thanks again, Ruth.

Hiya Dinx, I'll come and take a look at your diary later and say hi on there. I've had a couple of bad days here, and put on 1lb, just ate too much food. Back on it today. Weigh in day today and only lost 3.5lbs it would have been at least 4.5lbs if I hadn't have had 2 bad days, oh well...

Been good again today. I'm really happy I've lost 4.5 lbs in 5 days and I only have to lose 1.5 lb to get to 11 stone, yeah! (And it's not water weight as I was on a strict diet before this and lost the water weight already). Soon I will be into the 10 stones range, about bloody time, but I'm...

Hi Dinx, wow you have a daughter in law, you look too young! Do you mind me asking why you use a wheelchair? Do you have to use it all the time or just for long distances? Do you keep a diet diary on here too? Take care, Ruth

Hi everyone, how are you all doing? Do you remember me I was on here about 5 weeks ago I was doing Atkins but it didn't work for me. I tried for 2 weeks but didn't lose after the first 2 days, kept losing and putting on the same couple of pounds so now I'm back to Weight Watchers and so far...

Hi it's me again, I was wondering what kind of foods are you eating are you eating a healthy diet as well, have you cut down. You have done amazing and it's good to hear you feel well from it, but I'm wondering if you have lost actual fat rather than just waste product? I need to lose fat as...

It's been a good day food wise today. Breakfast: tortilla wrap 3 points 5 slices wafer thin roast chicken 1/2 point, only had 3 slices and saved 2 for lunch. home made minty yoghurt dressing 0 points cos only had a 10 mls. lettuce and cucumber 0 points Snack: Alpen bar 1 point WW carrot cake 1...

Hi Dinx, thanks for the welcome. You are doing great too you've got good losses, do you go to meetings even though you are doing Vintage points or are you doing alone at home like me?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Weight Watcher boards and I'm having success following the old points system but I thought to keep me motivated I would write a food diary. I enjoy reading other peoples as they give me ideas for meals and maybe you will get ideas from me too. So far I've lost...

Hi I have just googled trimex slim. Weren't you scared or worried the first time you used it? I would like to try but too scared. What kind of diet are you following to go along with it, I'm very interested in this way of losing weight. Thanks

Hi, I'm not 100% sure but I don't think almonds are allowed on Induction, I thought they come in owl a rung or 2 up the ladder. The anchovies are very salty and might be making you retain water. And pehaps cut out the guocamole. I think Jim would say just keep it simple and have fresh meat...

Thanks

Hi all, can you send private messages here? If so how? Thanks ruth

Brilliant, congratulations and well done girl!

No, it's not a bad throat as I've had that and just about over it and the doctor said it wasn't related and probably the diet, I guess it must be ketosis.

Is it normal to have a really dry throat whilst doing this WOE? I've had such a dry throat since about day 2 or 3 but usually at night. Today, my word, I can't get enough water my throat is sooooo dry, I can't think what could be causing it, any ideas? Thanks Ruth

Hi and welcome to the forums.

I hope you are all better real soon.

Thanks Beth, I shop at Tescos so I will look out for them.

Yes I agree, you don't seem to be eating any fat. And I'd give up the squash too. When I did Atkins years ago, it was the squash that stalled me. You could try added a few drops of lime juice to water, I do this sometimes.

Well, personally I try to follow the Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution publish in the UK in 2003 and written by Dr. Atkins. It has an orange front cover. It tells you all about the science of the diet so you really get to understand this way of eating, which you should really read. I lost my...

That's brilliant keep up the good work!

Just wanted to say Hi and welcome.

Thank you all for replying.

Thanks Jim. It's OK, I just realised I was looking at the ingredients for my mild curry powder, but the medium and hot ones I have don't have any sugar in them, so I think I'll be alright. Sorry to waste your time.

I know this might sound like a silly question but it contains sugar so can I have it or not, I can't find any reference to it in the Atkins book (2003 one)? Thanks

Cupcake, to be honest I'm not 100% sure if we are allowed cocoa on Induction, some say yes and some say no. As it's such a little amount and such little carbs I don't think it can do any harm but perhaps we shouldn't have it everyday. Good luck you are doing so well. I can't wait to see how...

Well, I overdosed on cheese yesterday as I was having a bad day, didn't go off the plan but did go overboard in the cheese department and what do you know I put on weight this morning, shame on me:( So I have answered my own question, haven't I!

Welsh Cupcake, I love you name! I just put about 2 dessert spoons of butter in a bowl with a tsp of splenda, and 1/2 tsp of bournville cocoa powder and mixed together, the butter needs to be soft first. It was lovely. I think it works out 1 g net carbs for the splenda and 0.1 net carbs for...

Have you tried a MIM, a muffin in a minute, you can look up on the sticky's for the basic recipe and then change it to suit sweet or savoury, there are loads of different recipes on there. This has been my lifesaver, don't eat more than 30g of flaxseed in one a day though as too much flaxseed...

Hi, do you know why we can only have a up to 110g of cheese per day on Induction, I can easily eat more than that? Would it really matter if we went over, it's not high in carbs so why does it matter? Thanks

As I'm new and there seems to be a lot of others too, I thought it would be nice to find out who's on Induction, extended Induction, OWL and Maintenance so we see who's who's if you know what I mean. Thanks

Hi, what supplements do you take and where do you buy them from, how much do they cost, etc? Thanks I forgot to say, what do you take them for in particular.

Thanks for all your good advice. Beth: what is the make of the low carb tomato puree, zero carb tomato ketchup and veg bouillon that you use?

Just wanted to say thanks for welcoming me.

Well done, you are doing brilliantly!

I would avoid if it's got aspartame in it but I don't know if it has. Pre- Atkins I used to drink this all the time. I now drink fizzy mineral water to get the fizzyness that you are talking about, it does help curb the craving. Sometimes I put a few drops of Lime juice in it to give some...

This is my first post here to, Breakfast: 4 slices salami, 30g Swiss cheese, some left over roast chicken. Lunch: Romaine lettuce, cucumber, 50g Swiss cheese, my own blue cheese dressing made with Mayo, 20g blue cheese and 1tsp Djorn mustard. Dinner: Homemade beef bolognese, 1 tbsp...

Cupcake: hey, you did weigh yourself, a girl after my own heart. Well done, 6lb in 4 days, wow, keep up the great work and have fun eating, it's good isn't it!!;)

Thanks for your replies, you've all done so amazing so far. I think I was being unrealistic and wanted to lose a stone in two weeks, LOL. I'll scrap that idea as it "ain't gonna happen". Two more questions I forgot to ask earlier, if anyone can help please? Bournville cocoa is it allowed...

Hi, can you please answer some random questions for me, thanks. Can you buy liquid Splenda in England? Does it matter if you eat less than 12g of veg a day? Does it matter if you eat less than 20g of carbs a day, how will this affect weight loss, what impact will it have on the body...

Hi, I'm new too, I'm on day 12 today. My first day I had a terrible headache but it passed by evening, I also had a upset tummy for the first two days too. I've also felt light headed at times. But don't worry it will pass and like the others say you will feel better in a couple of days time...
