    I haven't disappeared! I'm just having a crazy couple of weeks. Have started new job but haven't finished old job yet!! Working 7 days a week and now I have a friend visiting. Life (and diet) are all a bit over the place but only have one more week and then I'm back on it, and back on minimims...

    Challenge for the week: drink more, anyone want to join me?

    ok, i thought i'd check in and see how everyone is doing! From the beginning of the week I upped the challenge for myself and now try and fill my 1.5 bottle up twice. (Once in the morning and once when I get back from lunch). So far I've managed to drink all 3 litres but now find that I need to...

    Oh no!! It was worse than I thought... I put on a kilo :( oh well. At least I didn't put on during a week where I thought I'd done really well. First gain (and 5th wi) so just have to put this week behind me and start afresh... Still haven't smoked and started a new job last week so could've...

    BBQ

    So I went to a BBQ on Friday and worked out EVERYTHING before I went to help decide what to eat and then completely ignored everything and ended up eating a whole day's worth of points extra!! So here's where I went wrong in case it helps you... I put all that I was allowed to eat on one plate...

    Is SW as confusing as it looks?!

    Hi all. Not planning to join sw (not yet anyway as quite happy with ww for the time being) I just can't begin to tell you how curious I was!! Ps Tel Aviv's in Israel. All the literature at ww is in Hebrew (which I don't speak!) so I literally just go and get weighed and me and the leader do...

    100 days at 100%

    Wowow, that's brilliant! I'm currently going to ww and weighing in every week. Classes here are really expensive though (about £12 a time) so once the things I've already bought run out, I think there's about 6 left, I'm going to try and keep going just using this site. That tracker might be...

    Is SW as confusing as it looks?!

    Thanks kingleds. I had a look at the sticky and it's definitely a bit clearer now. I'm sure that once you know what Healthy Extras are then it's relatively easy to follow. As I said it's not something I'm planning to do, at least not at the moment, I've just been sooo confused and so curious...

    Is SW as confusing as it looks?!

    Thanks Little Strawberry. I'm not thinking about doing it now (maybe later on down the line as I'm quite happy with ww and there's no groups here) I'm just completely curious! Don't think I understand what a hex is, meanwhile I love the idea of a diet where you can have 'As much meat and pasta...

    Is SW as confusing as it looks?!

    I've been on this site for about a month and it seems like most people who post are following Slimming World and I don't seem to understand half of the things posted.... Green / Red / Hex / Extra Easy / Syns!! Im fascinated. I've lost half a stone with ww with a long way to go and really...

    Food Changes

    I love the idea of this thread! My biggest change has been that I (try to) decide every night what I'm going to eat the next day. This means that if work's manic and it's only about 2pm that I take a lunch break, I'm not grabbing the first thing I see but have already decided what it's going to...

    Essentials

    I found an app called "nutrition guide", which is just brilliant. you search for the food you want and it tells you how many points, you can add them to the journal for the day and keep track, you can add activity points, and you can enter your weight each week and see progress. I bought 12...

    uh oh. one month in and I’ve been doing really well - and have managed not to smoke for the last 2 weeks :) and then last night went to a bb and managed to eat a whole days worth of points in one evening. It was ridiculous as well as before I went I even calculated how many points I had and what...

    Day 1 smoke-free: now day 150! Wooooo!!! :-D

    Wow, day 40. That's fantastic. I'm still on the wagon - day 11 :) I did go to the dr and got a prescription for patches but I still have to pay for them! I live abroad and the health system is totally different here. Anyway, I'm going to keep going on the patches for a while, reducing the...

    A weeks worth of Meal ideas needed.....

    I'm on ww so this might not be helpful but I think I'd make soup with one of the tins of tomatoes and some of the frozen peppers / mushrooms and maybe a few of the potatoes. That should hopefully do you for at least 2 meals (if not 3?) You could have an omelette, maybe one night potatoes cooked...

    Thank you rainbow Rose. Your message really made me smile and I love the idea that the size I was at the beginning of this journey is the biggest I'll ever be! I'm also trying not to get stuck on how quickly this will happen. As you say, it's each pound at a time. Wobble over and back on...

    Challenge for the week: drink more, anyone want to join me?

    I know it's silly but I'm feeling a bit sad. I'd been really pleased with my efforts so far - not smoking for a week and losing half a stone - and then tonight I had to make a short video. when I watched it back, I felt huge and realised just how far I have to go. As I said, I know it's silly...

    On a mission - my food diary

    Ooh good luck. My favourite thing about WI day is knowing that my points start again! so I don't have to try and claw back anything... Last week I went totally over for 2 days (a wedding and a meal out) and then ended up eating nothing but soup for 2 days to try and balance things out. Let us...

    Thanks all. New job is to be a Project Manager for a Research fund. I'm not really sure yet to be honest but it feels exciting to be leaving where I am. I'm having some real trouble with money at the moment and just found out that by leaving my job I get all my pension contributions back. Not at...

    Challenge for the week: drink more, anyone want to join me?

    I'm trying to drink more too... As soon as I get to work I fill up a 1.5 litre bottle of water and find that I sip from it all day. If I don't do it then I don't drink but if it's in front of me I seem to manage :)

    Thanks CL! Going to stick to classes for a little while longer at least paying so much is another motivator... Hope you're feeling brighter. For what it's worth, I can totally relate to what you wrote... Here's to realising we're worth it!!

    So I lost 1 kilo! It's happening a little slower than I'd like seeing as I missed a wi but know that a loss is still a loss so I'm happy. Also haven't smoked for a week (and today I handed notice in at my job!) so will have a triple celebration tonight :) Thanks for all your support...

    yay. well done on resisting the wobble. I've not been out yet (its only been a week!) as thought it was probably best not to put temptation in my face! gonna speak to my dr about a prescription for patches. didn't know you could do that so thanks! here's to day 34 for you. :)

    Day 1 smoke-free: now day 150! Wooooo!!! :-D

    wowowow! 33 days is amazing. I’m also dieting and trying to stop smoking. In the past I’ve always compensated one for the other ie. eat more when I’m trying not to smoke, or smoke more when I’m trying not to eat so this time i’m hoping to do both at once!! Are you still using patches? I’ve not...

    Converting PP points to Discovery?

    i joined ww 3 weeks ago and have just discovered minimins! I live abroad and everything (at the meetings and all literature) is about Discovery points but so much of the information on here is about PP points. Anyone know if there is there a way to convert one to the other?

    Mmmm, that Chicken Salad recipe sounds amazing! I’m following WW discovery. Do you know if there’s a way to convert a PP into a regular point or is it totally different?

    So, after reading other people's diaries on here over the last few weeks and being totally inspired I've decided to start my own... I was on weightwatchers a few years ago and lost over a stone and a half but over the 12 months have put it all back on (and a couple more pounds!) so have...
