    I have changed my meals around so I eat my dinner at lunchtime and have a light snack in the evening. I cook them the evening before bring it into work in a container and reheat at lunchtime. It stops me snacking and I feel more satisfied during the day! Could be worth a try...

    That's a pain - I've had similar difficulties finding low PP goujons - I've pretty much given up!! It's funny cos I always thought they were a good option before I started WW and now I'm reluctant to eat them at all! What an education WW is!!

    Hi dancer, you don't say why exactly you're not happy - are you just having a "feeling fat" day and that perhaps tomorrow you will feel fine?

    need a plan 4 the next few wks (school reunion)

    No don't do that - buy a pair of Spanx which will prevent the spillage and you'll wear them again as you lose weight to look better - the Slimfast could distract you from your current efforts which are working and you're not going to want to risk that!

    Silvery stretch marks

    You need to use it for a few months And, yes, Bio Oil will get rid of the silvery marks but it takes time. It's not cheap to buy but so worth the time and money. Even though stretch marks are not hugely noticeable when they're silver, it's annoying especially when you put on fake tan and it...

    Hannata, that's horrible. You must have been so upset... It's always more hurtful from those close to you. Men don't get offended as often about weight comments so perhaps he didn't think there was anything wrong with him saying it, especially if you are mates. I would be inclined to use it...

    I Just Have To Exercise And Thats That!

    I'm starting this thread as I can't seem to put one foot in front of the other in terms of just getting my exercise done. I know I should do it but I avoid it at every turn so my plan is to log it here as a way of addressing the issue. If I admit it's a problem I will start to try to resolve it...

    Wednesday Weigh In anyone?

    I'd a sneaky weigh in this morning and I think my scales is a disaster as my weight changed by 6 lbs when I stood on it a few times in a row!!! Of course I'm hoping for the lightest weight but I just can't be sure ha ha!!
  113. S

    Wednesday Weigh In anyone?

    Hi everyone I'm sticking to the plan this week and have 32 weeklies used, will keep it low over the next few days in time for WI on wednesday. I don't feel lighter (!) if there is such a thing...! Good luck everyone!!

    Time to admit defeat? It's just not gonna work for me!

    Do not panic. You lost weight since Christmas so your thyroid is unlikely to have a problem. You're just losing slowly. Given you've also changed medication it's likely to be a factor. With this background you can't give up. It's working just that it's working slowly. Bear with it. How about...

    Time to admit defeat? It's just not gonna work for me!

    Don't be hard on yourself.. Did your leader have any suggestions? Mine told me that if someone didn't lose weight over a consistent period of time while following propoints they need to get checked out at their doctor for possible thyroid problems.. Dont panic :)
  117. S

    Ever wondering will u EVER get there..

    Yes I can't see it happening but I'm focusing on half a pound at a time. Given ive 3 stone to lose in total I'm not at the point of seeing myself at goal just yet... I'm not stopping til I get there though....!!

    This is really hard spritezero. It's hard when you see friends digging in and you are trying to maintain discipline especially if you don't want to make a big issue that you're trying to lose weight. The friends you see eating may have not eaten much the rest of the day so don't think they can...

    I would have to say my paper tracker, I keep them for the weeks I lose weight only! Other than that I'd say my kitchen!! When I'm at home I can control so much easier, I find eating out very challenging...! And I have an ordinary scales, not a WW one!

    Why not save a small amount for each pound lost? A pound for a pound, or even 50p! Buy nail varnish or something doesn't need to be expensive

    Disheartened

    BrokenMirrors don't panic, this happened me two weeks running, it's horrible when you track religiously. I had a loss this week I think mostly from relaxing about weight loss and being more active - not more exercise but more active around the house with less TV - think that's what did it...

    Weight watcher chips

    It's all the same leeboy as you get a larger number of propoints than you used to get in points on the old system so it pans out the same. Best if you forget the old system or you will get confused.. Good luck!

    That's great progress! Well done!!!!
  148. S

    how do you find the plan?

    I agree! Couldn't stick with PP if it didn't allow a normal lifestyle but it really does and it encourages you to eat more fruit and veg.I feel much healthier on it!

    Did you talk to your leader? They will probably advise you best.... Best of luck!

    Interesting article on Emotional eating

    Hi Last_Attempt that is useful, I think I will go the whole foods route like you. I agree that convenience foods can lead me to a slippy slope too.. Perhaps if I can wean myself off the additives I will reduce my cravings as my blood sugar will be stable.. Here's hoping!! Have a good week!
