Hi guys, I've always been a weight watchers girl, but have been off it for 12+ months. Since finding out I'm pregnant, I need to curb my weight gain, and I feel this is my best option. I don't really want to do an online subscription with a £60p upfront fee, and my mum would like to do it with...

Thank you :-) everyone I seem to talk to doesn't get anywhere near as bad as me... I think because I'm no longer in the "obese" category, people think I should have a relatively good level of fitness automatically! My aim, at present, is to attempt to improve on that every other day...! Today I...

My next goal is my next silver 7: 4lb away (35lb total!). I'm also aiming to reach a certain level of fitness and complete the first day of c25k!!!

Serves 4: Heat non stick frying pan, add 250g sliced mushrooms and 1 finely chopped onion .heat for 5-7 mins till softened, but not too brown. Add 450g diced chicken breast and cook till browned. Meanwhile, boil 200g long grain white rice. Turn up frying pan heat to high, add 250ml white...

I have been meaning to post pictures the past few days and forgetting. Creamy chicken and mushroom with 3 mustard sauce (in members favourites recipe book) with rice, for 8pp .its in a lunch box because its the "4th portion" ready for lunch tomorrow (forgot to take a photo on the plate!!!)

I swear by mine! I love putting the food on, if I want say 4pp ill wait till it ticks to 5pp and take a bit off, so I'm getting the absolute maximum. It's far easier than having to weigh the food, then point that amount of food... Quite pricey but good value xx

Hi all, I need some advice. Over the past 12mths I've gone from 14st and doing zero exercise, to 12st and just upping my walking (always low to moderate level exercise, but for longer distances). Tonight I was inspired to pull my treadmill out of the garage and attempt real exercise! It's a...

Everyone behaving so far this week....? I haven't counted points in months now. It's not good! But, I feel like I am making healthier choices than I used to (hence the weightloss last week!). I really want to lose this week so think I'm gonna have to buck my ideas up!!

1.5lb down :-D

I went to Florida last month lameface... Where about are you going? We went to Orlando, and the food was all fast food in the theme parks, but burnt off with all the exercise! I didn't find the restaurants too bad. Portions were ok, was always good choices however the one dessert we had -...

Hey guys, I've been missing for quite a while! Havent been able to get my head back into it since Christmas. So ,combined with a week in Florida, I've gained another few lb. Didn't weigh yesterday as I'm in a residential college all week (with high pp food made, and no portion control) so...

I've been doing this since march, and lost 31.5lb. I have another 11lb to go till my weight watchers goal, and I'm struggling. I have barely shifted either way since start of December and I just can't get my head back into it. I was planning meals weekly, doing a big shop on a Saturday and then...

Well done everyone!! Didn't get to class this week as my boss held us hostage in work!!!

I'm not feeling good about Thursday. Again. I passed some exams Friday, got me to quite a significant point in my training, so we celebrated, and I used every weekly. The oh's parents were staying the weekend too, so we went out for a very late (and very naughty) lunch on Saturday. And then...

My leader suggests starting off with pro points, get used to portions and learning when your full and then add in some simply filling days or go all simply filling... Just so you can learn the ropes with a bit of guidance first! If you've been at it a while, i'd suggest just swapping them...

I think the serving includes milk. When I had them that's how I calculated it!! Check the packet for details to see if it says as served or anything? Failing that, try working the points out on the nutritional values and see if the listed points are higher!! WW are a bit naughty when they're...

Well done everyone!! You've all done really well!! I stayed the same last night. I'm quite pleased though, I've had a rubbish week. I finally gave in and had a jam doughnut and hour before wi yesterday because id had enough!!! Back to being good now though. Hopefully see a loss next week!! As...

I'll be having a bad share this week-well and truly off the wagon! Welcome though gracie, good luck this week!!

I like how positive this is!! Well done everyone :-) I'm aiming for another 2lb this week!! I've had a very nasty cold arrive yesterday so hopefully that'll dampen my appetite!!!

2lb loss!! Well done on the 4lb's! I'm well jel of that!!! x

Noisyheart its good to look forward to weigh in's :-) I do most weeks!! :-)

Good luck everyone, hope today shows you what you want! I'm hoping for a 2lb loss tonight and for the following 3 weigh ins, as I'm going on holiday 4 weeks today and I can relax for the week then!! I think I've done it this week, and I feel quite good. I've gone down to 27 pp daily, and used...

First week stoke girl expect maybe 3-4lb, a lot tends to be water loss in your first week I think. But any loss is better than what you were before so get used to how weight watchers is working for you to adjust your expectations!!

Fitnessqueen your doing good :-) time will fly by if you don't count the weeks. I've been going since march, I've lost 2 and a half stone (or, had ,before Xmas!!) And I honestly don't care how long this last stone- stone and a half takes to come off now because I feel good!! Don't put too much...

Last night the total weight loss of our group was 3.5lb!!!! And it was sooo busy!! Did make me laugh :-) I'm looking forward to losses now then. Be brave everyone, go to your meeting even if you know its bad -motivation for next week then!!!

3lb gain as I wanted!!!

That is pretty amazing, well done! I feel I'm going to be even more embarrassed now. I was just aiming for a max 3lb gain tonight and thought that would be good!! Good luck everyone :-)

As of today I am back on weight watchers! After 2 weeks of eating EVERYTHING in sight, I think I've gained about 7lb, so am now going to try and limit that as much as possible by Thursday so I don't have a such a high official weigh in!! Anybody been doing filling and healthy days? I tried...

I need your skills Michellethegooner, I gained 3lb!! Well done on your loss xx

Hey guys!! I've been a bit MIA too due to exams and lots of other stress. In the past 2 weeks, I've sat 2 exams, got a 7 week old kitten and an 8 week old puppy (lab/cocker so a bit mental too!!) And I think I've completely forgotten what weight watchers even is!! Well done Caroliano, that's...

Will update with one when I get home on Wednesday for you. Might also ask my other half to make it for tea that night, I enjoyed it so much last time!!!

11st 6.5lb now... Coming off!!

2lb off :-)

Plan meticulously PauliG! And lots of exercise!! Try and fill up on fruit and veg rather than other snacks you might usually have x

Caroliano, I am going to break that pact before its even made. My dear little Tiggy's heart gave up this afternoon, and his little broken heart has broken mine :-(

Anyone know why this is so high? 4pp for half of one?! I've recently discovered it and its very nice, just quite high!

110g self raising flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 egg 1/4 pint skimmed milk Sift flour and baking powder, whisk in egg then milk. Coat non stick pan with calorie controlled spray, and put 3 tbsp batter to make 3 pancakes. Fry till golden and flip. Keep warm and make the rest up - should make 12...

Bacon and pancakes is 6pp, I think the recipe was in "your week" a few months back. I'll post the recipe for the pancakes when I'm not in bed!! Because its too cold to go find it now xx

You can do it pinkstardust!! Have you been eating enough? I've been playing around for what feels like ages, and I think its having very few points at lunchtime and saving them for tea-need to space them out!! Caroliano, I've only missed 2 meetings by choice since I started, and I should...

Has anyone tried this yet? From this months WW magazine? I had it last night and it was AMAZING! I feel like they got the points wrong it was so good!!!

I always treat myself on a Sunday with nice breakfasts. A current favourite is bacon and pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup. Yum yum yum!!

He came home yesterday evening so that's making me feel better. He's got heart disease and he's only 4 and a half years old :-( I'm, hopefully, back on track now. Not sure if I'll weigh this Thursday as I know it won't be good and we've got family down Friday... I'm thinking at least it won't be...

I'm going well and truly off the rails.... My cat went into the vets today with fluid In his lungs, and he may not be coming back out :-( I'm eating very emotionally right now, high fat and lots of it!!!

Weighed in at 11st 8.5lb tonight. Realistically I don't think I'll get there before Christmas-this last stone is going to be the hardest yet I think!!

Half a pound on tonight :-(

I'm trying to fatten my other half up, but he has to hide his chocolate in the car or I might find it. I found chocolate bars shoved in a random drawer in the kitchen the other week that he'd totally forgotten about!! I asked my boyfriend last night if he thinks he supports me, and how. His...

Good luck today everyone!!

On the note of planning, since I'm going along I find my motivation waining a little, so I've found that sitting down on a Friday night with all my recipe books (I also cut ones out of magazines/your week and stick them in my own book) and decide what I'm going to have all week (including...

My other half has been brilliant, as with most it seems, he's tall and skinny so gets double my portions!! He never refuses food, will try anything ,and if I'm having a bad day he will risk the question "are you SURE you want that?!" Which helps. He's always told me my size doesn't matter, he...

Weighed in on Thursday at 11st 8, so 8 to go!! Also need to set my goal weight next week, "officially", so might go for 10st 13, just to be under 11!! I know that won't be it for me but it just makes it free!

That is a really, really good start moley! Have you got much to lose? X

Well done michellethegooner and Caroliano!!

4.5lb loss!! Definitely picked up from last week!! Workout dvd intensity depends on you, what could be high activity for one person might be medium for another... Can you still hold a conversation and just be a bit out of puff, or are you really struggling?? If you find it tough, its high. If...

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!! Make sure you update me with how you've all got on, I love hearing how well other people are doing :-) I'm feeling good about tomorrow! Looking forward to it :-) x

Can I join please? This is what I want by Xmas! Have been plodding between 11st 10 and 13 for the last few weeks, last wi was 11st 12.5lb, but I think that may have been due to water retention/wrong time of the month!! Having a very good week this week, weigh tomorrow after work! Only 22points...

Do you know, I just realised yesterday that I think that's why I get them! I got diagnosed with svt when I was about 15, and they've been quite quiet for the last 8 years or so, until 2 weeks ago when I got admitted to hospital because they went on for about 10 hours. That was a slightly...

I have zero pp soup. I make up 3 or 4 different flavors on the weekend, freeze them, and microwave them for my dinner with a roll for 3pp. Get my variety from the different flavors!

Has anyone else discovered the winter soups yet? I've switched from my salads and am experimenting with different ones now. My favourite was curried butternut squash: 1 bns, about 3 small onions, 1 garlic clove and some salt and pepper all boiled in just enough water with some veg stock for...

Keep the losses going girls! I've snapped out of my downer about my gain, wrong time of the month so probably water retention!! I'm trying to be on my absolute best behaviour this week, and so far only 5pp into my weekly's!! (By this time on a Saturday its usually about 30 in....!) Also started...

2.5lb gain :-(

Good luck everyone!! I have no high hopes. I ate a bag of daim chocolates last night. Not good!! New week starts tomorrow though, so going to focus on that!! Realised today that I'm only 4.5lb off a "normal" bmi because i'd underestimated my height a little so that's given me a bit of a boost!!!

Just get a head start on next week and ignore whatever you get this week :-) I'm starting to notice I lose best when I get the activity points in. I bought a yogalates dvd which should arrive today that I plan on trying out to see if it can help-feel quite static lately and I'm struggling to...

Don't cut down on the daily's Caroliano-its a downward slope from there!! Just up the exercise, and if you get a gain, you know why and can carry on!! Might even have given your metabolism a sneaky boost?! You'll starve yourself if you cut the daily's though. Hope the next few days improve :-)...

Everyone is doing so well this week!! Lost 3.5lb :-) what I gained last week +1!!

Hey guys, how's it going??? I've had a few issues this weekend, hoping ill lose but not sure how accurate it'll be!!

2.5lb gain. Getting rid of that this week!!!

Well my day just went from bad to worse... made soup the other week and froze it. One drawer in the freezer is just my soup. So grabbed one this morning, 0pp and a roll. Went to put it in the microwave at work, and thought it looked odd.. it was steak!!! Grr. Went to Tesco to grab something...

Hey guys! How is everyone feeling about tomorrow? I've been quite naughty this week, so I won't be shocked if I don't lose. My evening snacks between getting home from work, and having tea are getting very bad!!

Jaw droppingly good Caroliano!! Well done!!

I always find I'm happy with any loss, but over 2lb, and I am ecstatic!! It'll all fall off now before you know it, well done everyone :-) x

Well done skinnymintobe! Excellent loss :-) x

I'm not being particularly good. I'm eating rubbish, a little too much of it!! Been doing a lot of walking to try and counteract it though, so hopefully its having some effect!! I won't have to weigh this week at least, but its annoying not to have some idea of what the scales think!!!

Welcome pickles78!! I have been trying to reply for days but I'm away from home and my signal is poo!! Consequently I won't be weighing this week, although that is probably a positive because I can control nothing I eat here, except portion sizes, and I'm finding that a bit tough!! How is...

Well done Caroliano! How are you finding it? Have you got much to lose? And hey skinnymintobe!! Hope your first week is going well xx

Well done michellethegooner!! I lost 2lb this week, so pleased!!

Never give up!! You can have the off days, but pick it straight back up again and you'll get there. I have lots of off days, but I've still lost 2st +.... Purely because I kept going!! You can do it :-) Good luck today everyone xxx

I weigh 2st more than mine, and that's after losing 2 st already!! He is 5'11 and 10st. Not sure I'll ever be as light, not sure I want to be, but we'll see!!

Oh kayleighread :-( its only a pound and a half, it'll fall off again no probs!! Someone in my class gained 7lb one week (!!!!) Next week, lost 8lb! All you need to do is refocus, and it'll be fine!! Went out properly for the first time in a while Saturday and the amount of compliments I got...

I'm not very good with exercise!! Just go for walks when I can be bothered!! I was having an excellent day today, and then I ate 2 packets of meringues. That's 16 in a day!!! And I'm going out tonight so there will be lots of drinking.. oh dear!! I cooked 5 different varieties of soup today...

Excellent wobblybits!! Have you done anything different this week?? Xx

I lost half a lb, not overjoyed but It's in the right direction!!

Good luck today guys!! I keep forgetting its a Thursday... Time has flown by far too quickly this week!!! Let me know how you all get on with an update.... :-) xxx

I will be very mad if I don't get a loss this week... I did a proper hike yesterday, 7 miles and at least half was "challenging" coastal path with very steep climbs!! Over 18k steps :-) x

Well ,I started in march, and I've lost 29lb so that's 6 months, but at least 2 (if not 3) I was really messing around and not doing it properly!! I find it very easy to not gain, I think my way of thinking has adjusted. Try and stick to the plan as much as you can, and work out which foods...

It's never 'only' a pound!! If you do that every week ,that's a stone by Christmas! Do you have a lot to lose? X

1.5lb off!! 4th silver seven, and now into 11st something rather than 12!! Sooo pleased!!

Woohoo, losses are the best!! Im losing my hopefulness for a loss... Other half got promoted yesterday, so we went out to celebrate... Steak and chips AND waffle and icecream. Not so clever on a Wednesday!!! I had a bit of a fail for lunch too, egg sandwich made with crackerbread instead of...

Good luck wobblybits!! Hope your first week is continuing to go well .I find the weekend are the worst... I always plan never to use my weekly's, and I always use all of them!!

3lb off this week!! Another 1/2lb and I get my 4th silver 7, another 1.5lb and I go down into another stone bracket!! Definitely feeling good after that!!

How is everyone feeling this week? I sat down on Sunday and did a meal planner for the week, went shopping to ensure I had everything, and started properly on Monday. My plan is to keep to my 29 daily, and genuinely only use weekly's in 'emergency' situations. I WILL get my next silver seven...

I would like some help and advice please: I have lost about 2 st, and am over halfway through what I want to lose. I started off at a very tight 16 (probably should have been wearing 18s) and now I'm struggling with clothes. My bum has always been small, it used to be my absolute favourite...

I wonder though, does it get to a point where the compliments stop and confidence-knocking comments start? Or do the majority keep encouraging??

I had a comment the other day, that has been wandering around my mind ever since. I have gone from 14st, to 12st 4lb since march, at 5"6 this still puts my bmi well above 25. My goal has never been to get "skinny", and I believe at about 10 and a half I will be happy (my body shape seems to...

Excellent losses everyone! Danniegirl, that sounds unbelievable! You must be really pleased! Didn't weigh this week as I was away, really hoping for a loss next Thursday but it all hinges very strongly on whether I can get myself back on track soon!!

1lb gain this week .serves me right though. Back to counting properly today!!

Good luck today everyone!! I hope the scales are kind. I didn't weigh last week, and was quite naughty. I moved house this week and haven't even bothered to count points, hopefully all the exercise of lugging boxes and cleaning will cancel it all out!! Find out later...

Ahh Kelly don't be too downhearted. Is it any naughtiness catching up from previous weeks? Sometimes there are mysterious gains!! Try checking your tracker and comparing it to good loss weeks to see what was different?? Missed my meeting this week as I was away at college. Also means I've been...

Yay for the shred!! I'm moving house in a week and a half and will have the space then so I think i'll start too!! I've heard lots about it, sounds very effective?!

1.5lb loss ,2nd week running!! Brings the grand total up to 25.5!!

I'm getting increasingly slack with this food diary... I lose interest in updating too easily. I'm still having a good read through everyone's diaries every few days mind!! I made the gammon and egg pie that was in this months WW magazine tonight. Everyone, its soooo yummy, try it!! I then had...

10% is a brilliant milestone... to actually think you are now 10% less than what you were when you started?! I really hope you get it, good luck!!

Bum is all better now, second walk did the trick. Hectic week at work this week, lost 1.5lb :-D Breakfast usual bran flakes and milk - 4 Went out for lunch today and had a smoked salmon salad. Counted that as about 12 (oily and had a couple of coupons!) Had a bag of WW cookies - 2 Then my...

1.5lb loss this week!! Well done everyone, some pretty impressive losses up there!!!

My bum is still sore from my very long walk on the weekend, less than 2 hours to do 7.5 miles!! I was a bit naughty though and ate through all my weeklies and have 4ap remaining till Thursday :-( Todays food: Bran flakes - 3 Milk - 1 Banana - 0 Salad (rocket, carrot, grapes, pepper, spring...

This is my tea tonight. Sounds amazing!!

I had 2 passes in my exams so felt I deserved rewarding!! Homemade pizza + garlic bread slices + cornetto!! Yum, yum. Went for a brisk walk and earnt 4AP yesterday too. This weekend could be tricky because I'm in "celebrate mood", but my weight watchers leader has organised a 7mile walk tomorrow...

I like the motivation to actually count the points!! Only way to keep the weight loss going really but its easy to not do it. I'm finding all this positively very encouraging, its making me want to try harder to track everything!! Well done :-)

Stayed the same this week, which the more I consider it the better I feel!! Gonna shift at least 1 this week though, m determined. Today I have had: Bran flakes - 3 Skimmed milk - 1 Banana - 0 Grapes - 0 Jacket potato - 5 Tuna - 3 Extra light mayo - 1 WW yogurt -1 Carrot sticks - 0 For tea...

Tea tonight was: Pork chop - 6 Mash potato - 5 Philadelphia sauce - 2 Nobbly bobbly - 6 So 19/17 remaining... was supposed to go for a walk tonight to earn the extra points but I was too tired!!

Stayed the same this week. Pleased with that though as it's been a very bad week!!!

Mmmm garlic pizzas... I really want that for tea now!!!

WW scales are a god send, but even cheap ones would be better than none!! I always use mine to go up to the next point of food, then take some off so I get the absolute maximum I can (particularly with cheese!!) And my boyfriend calls it cheating... I disagree!!

Thank you!! I'll need it .was thinking about the amount of cider I drank on the weekend (totally unnecessary, I wasn't drunk and only drank it because everyone else was!!) And that's going to put a major downer on today. I also can't have my 4pm carrot stick snack today :-(

Hi marine! Was just having a read through for ideas, omelette sounds good!! Do you have any scales? Weighing things like cheese (particularly with the WW scales) makes things much clearer... more points for treats then!! What do you do with your egg yolks? Just chuck them or put them in...

Not yet! He used the last batch for a very sugary (and still Sharp!) Rhubarb and Orange jam. I'm feeling more adventurous with food at the moment so I might try it soon!! Food today: Bran flakes - 3 Skimmed milk 1/4 pint - 1 WW Yogurt - 1 Banana - 0 Quorn tikka masala ready meal - 7 Sugar...

I've lost 22.5lbs, and another 21 to go I think. Been going since march and I've lost my motivation now which I want back!! Been a bit naughty tonight: Ham - 2pp Chips (steak cut oven cooked) - 6pp (guessed?!) Egg x 2 - 4pp Bread and butter - 6pp Snacking on toast - 10pp Total for day...

I'm going to try and keep this updated, to see if anyone has any tips for improvement, or can take ideas! Bran flakes - 3 Skimmed milk 1/4 pint - 1 Curly wurly - 3 Banana - 0 Salad with balsamic vinegar and salad cheese - 2 Crustless quiche - 8 Sugar free jelly pot - 0 Carrot sticks - 0...

It is simply called 'salad cheese' and was near the mozzarella in tescos. I didn't see the weight this morning ,but 2pp looked a lot more than cheddar and crumbled nicely into my salad-perfect portion for me!!

Has anyone tried this? I found it in Tesco last night, added a bit to my salad today. Lovely kick of cheesiness, and relatively low points.

Ooo Thankyou jem. I never considered canderel but if it takes away the bitterness I may enjoy it a bit more!!

Thankyou for those links, they've made me laugh and I've picked up a few helpful things... like talc! I would never have thought of that!!

I was wondering if anyone might have any advice to offer me... I am going to my first ever festival on Thursday (last day of my week so whole new set of 49ers for the weekend!!). Apparently we will have limited time to cook, so we're not going to bother and will just be eating bought food...

We are overrun with it, and I'm not a huge fan of it but my other half adores it. Does anyone have any recipes that would use it? And preferably in such a way that it doesn't completely over power the taste of the dish?!

I'm now a Thursday weighed! I've gone from Sunday morning to Thursday eve and I gained 2lb this week :-( but I thinks that's time of day/heavier clothes!! Current total loss is 22.5lb!!

I have been very naughty and not attended for 2 weeks! I think I'm going to change meetings to a Thursday from now as I like the Thursday leader better (is that mean?!)!! I've been getting lots of activity points in this week!!

4lbs this week!! I have a feeling that was mostly dehydration from the wine Saturday night though!! I'm away next Sunday so it gives me chance to catch up. Total now is 24.5lbs!!! I can't believe how good it feels :-D xx

A thread below reminded me. Instant cheese sauce, I think bisto but I'm not 100% sure... 1pp per 50ml, pour as much as you fancy over a mountain of cauliflower (I use frozen as my OH doesn't like it so its only for me! Low points, amazing comfort food. Add a piece of bread for mopping if you...

Do you know, I actually love those weeks where I've been a bit naughty and still lost weight!! Well done :-) have you got much more to lose?? Well done on the 1.5kgs, it doesn't mean as much to me as lbs, but I'm pretty sure that's a very good loss!!!

How did you do today??? I lost 2.5lbs and got my 10% :-)

Oh I know!! I had about 3 weeks of being naughty (and a very lucky no gains!!) So this week is being good. I went to the shop, I got carrots, Sharon fruit (yum yum!!) And meringue nests. My only issue will be when I want to eat them all. How do you resist eating an entire packet of something...

But that's so well behaved!! I know its what I should do. And the walk to the shop to get them WILL benefit too....

I weigh in on a Sunday morning, does anyone else do sundays?!

Hi everyone, I've just joined the forum but been doing weight watchers since middle of march. I've lost 18lb, same if not a bit more to go, and I'm losing it so much right now!!! I've been off work all week on study leave. I have 2 exams next week so a little stressed. That, coupled with...
