Christmas miracle for me too. 4lbs off this week which makes me 3 and a half stone lighter than when I began. Yay! Reckon that will be me now tho till after the big feast! I am content to take every day as it comes. I realise that some days will be easier than others and I definitely am not...

Hi All I've lost 3 lbs today. Have been a bit out of whack too with a full house and my new grand daughter(12 days old!). Have been eating on plan but have not been good at tracking and I have only managed a few exercise sessions this week. Still ....clearly busy enough to burn it off without...

It puts everything in perspective doesn't it! Really sad for you all dealing with this at a hard time of year. Thinking of you and your family.:bighug:

Well done all you fabulous losers. I've had a very big week! I became a gran (at 46!!) on Sunday to a precious little granddaughter. I was there to see here take her first breath and it was amazing!!! Afraid I haven't had 2 minutes to myself to post but I think I have a good excuse as I'm...

Morning all! Have been absent for a bit with proper flu. (ie. not man flu aka a cold!) Anyway last 2 weeks have been just getting by as not been able to breathe let alone exercise.:( So welcome to all you lovely newbies to the Friday weigh-in! Have managed 2lbs this week although I have felt I...

Sorry for not saying much this week. Absolutely wiped out with flu bug and can't bear sitting with my head down typing.:cry: Anyway have managed 2lbs this week even though I haven't touched any exercise so not too bad. I will say one big well done to all of the Friday weigh-in gang today and...

That's a winning philosophy Nemesis! Have a fun weekend first!:D X

Hang in there! Most of us have had a few STS but it always sorts itself in time. You are doing great and at least you haven't gone up. Enjoy the weekend! XX

Well done Sian. That is fantastic. Must feel soo great to be such a "normal" weight. I can't wait!! Have a great weekend! x

Thanks soo much. You have done really well and well done this week. You will see the 11's in no time. Have a good weekend!:D x

Hi I started on 31st July so bout 3.5 months. Have loved it so far. What about you? When did you start?

That's absolutely fab CarlyLanky. You are doing sooo well!:D

Morning All. 4 lbs for me this week!! :D Obviously planning my food and shopping is what works for me....along with the gallon of sweat in the gym ;)! Up with the larks as taking my demon dog to vets for the first appointment-spare my blushes in front of too many people as she completely loses...

Hi Everyone. Welcome to you Carly! Hope you enjoy being part of our lovely Friday weigh in. Well done Galifreyan for making a plan! You can totally knock this one on the head. You have never given up and stuck your head in the sand so I can't wait to see your posts as the pounds drop off...

Ok so well done to everyone. Great losses this week!! : D :D I'm down by 2lbs so I'm smiling too!!:D Even better that's me over the halfway mark and well and truly on my way to not being classified as overweight - just over a stone for that which sounds a lot but after losing 2 stone and 5lbs...

STS for me. Well, down 0.5 lb but I haven't been counting anything less than a pound so will add it in to next weeks if I go downwards. :) Not upset as it was a weird week. Well done to all the people who have lost this week!

Hi all of you who are new to the Friday weigh-in! Keep posting and then we can all keep encouraging each other. My week's been rough too. OH has been very unwell(still not sure of the cause-waiting for hospital appointments). I was due to start new job but can't now as he isn't really able...

Well done on all the losses! We can do this, some take the faster road and others the longer way round but if we keep supporting each other we will all see results. Have a good week all.

Welcome! You are doing really well. Keep telling us how you get on.

Thanks Nic, I'm chuffed that it's moving the right way. Crossing my fingers for you. 2lbs for me this week which is great as I have relaxed the reins a little with my kids off on half term. Nothing worse than a diet drag when everyone else is out to enjoy themselves! Still it hasn't hurt so...

Good luck all you Friday weigh-in folk. Fingers crossed for a good one! All the best!

Don't be downed by it. No big disaster with a STS week. My daughter is also doing the plan and this week was a STS for her too. She was gutted. At least it wasn't back the way and anyway since we all have decided that the only way is down there is only one thing for it- just keep on going. You...

Oh my word Sparkle you certainly got some speed up this week! You must be soo happy! Enjoy your weekend-but not too much.(BOOO HISS! I know- what a party pooper!):D

3lbs this week so I'm now on my way to the third stone. Well-chuffed.:D So happy for you Sian. Great way to go on holiday!

Hope everyone is having a great week. Sounds fab Sian.:jelous: Have a great time. These occasions only come once! Good luck all for weigh in tomorrow! See you on the other side!:D

You go Sian :talk017: That is my pattern too and I am totally with you that this time enough is enough. :D

You're at the tough bit especially when your BMI is so good. Maybe you've swapped some fat for muscle. Good news on that is more muscle=more calories burned but it takes time to balance out. When i got to goal the last time (:cry:) way back before electricity that last bit was up and down like...

Don't be too downed Sparkle. Nothing wrong with STS from time to time. Sometimes the body just won't co-operate. It will eventually if you just keep doing what works.;)

1lb for me. Had wanted more but a loss will do me nicely.

Good luck for weigh in Friday gang.

Thanks Sparkle. Feeling much more like myself today and enjoyed my work out this morning. You are doing brilliantly. 30 lbs is amazing and 16 more is really very close. Can't wait to see you get there! Have a great day! XX

Hey Caroline No sunshine in Scotland so no bbq's sadly.Very wintery here. Still week going ok so far. Been a bit off colour tummy wise so had a slightly unusual day of eating yesterday. Week 10 for me so I have a bit of a routine going and it's amazing how wrong it feels not following my usual...

Hi Dee Welcome to Friday weigh in. Hope the week goes well for you. If you need anything just pop on and someone will be around shortly to chat. Good luck.

Well done Sparkle. That's fantastic. :D

2lbs for me this week.:) Keeping moving forward for now, Keep your chin up Sian. You are getting to the bit where making your body ditch weight can be a bit harder but just keep what you're doing and you will get there. Once upon a long time ago I was a WW gold member so I've done the last...

Well here we are again....Thursday. :eek: It comes round faster every week!! Have been watching Australia's Biggest Loser while I'm on the cross-trainer. Those trainers know how to push people- and I thought I was sweating! Anyway good luck to all the Friday weigh-in gang! I will be weighing...

Exactly why I'm a Friday girl too!! It means that you really do get that Friday feeling:). I couldn't live with weigh in on any other day and anyway the Friday gang on here are great especially when they all show up!! :p (missing some people last week or 2!) Anyway welcome Sparkle.

Morning All! Doing a little dance and singing a little song - sad I know but hey! 4lbs for me this week. :D :D Well done Tracy that's fab! Whatever you did this week it worked.

Manic week but glad it's September weekend. No school run tomorrow! Yay. Cooked masses this week and been pretty good. I have arthritis but it's behaving itself at the moment so have managed exercise of some sort every day. Sooooo.... we'll see on the scales what we see. Good luck all !

Couldn't be easier Nic. Recipe is for 2 people. 550g potatoes peeled and cut into chunky chips. 2 x 150g rump steaks with fat trimmed off. 2 tablespoons mixed peppercorns lightly crushed. Put oven to heat up to 220/GM7. Boil potatoes for 3 mins. Arrange them on a cooking tray and spray with...

Have just had a lovely dinner of pepper steak from ww recipe book. Definitely doesn't feel like a diet tonight.:)

Nice work Nic:grouphugg: This is going to be a good week for us all with all the positive thinking that's going on. Good luck all for a great week.

3lbs for me too this week. Haven't done anything different this week so can't say why but I'll just keep going. Well done vickihorror that's really great. Hope you feel better this week. Good luck to the rest of you Friday weigh-in folk.

Glad you are feeling bette, Nic. Must have given everyone a shock!! The gym can wait a day or two until you are sure you are OK. How are the rest of the Friday team getting on? Haven't heard much this week. I'm heading for my usual doldrum Thursday. Can feel weigh-in looming large. What can...

Yes Nic. Sending by the horse for you to get back on. It's all you can do when things go a bit off piste. Loving the thought of a tipsy you carefully picking the chicken out your kebab. Now that's a real trick.Lol:D

Lol Nic. It should be a new dress size in the shops Kylie,8,10,12...! It should be a target weight at WW. "what is your goal weight?" "Oh I'm aiming to lose a Kylie for Christmas...by then I'll weigh.... two and a half Kylies". :D

My Saturday night was just a s sad-wine and Dr Who for me too!:D Loving the new series. Even my 2 girls have been converted and my 18 year old son comes out of his room for it which is totally incredible.:eek: That's a pretty tough gym routine, Nic. Bound to pay off in pounds this week! My...

Bad days happen but it's past and done and Nic's right you did so well facing the music and pointing it. Hope you feel better and are up for a good week. We're all here if you need a pick me up. Good luck.

Welcome Maldonmummy! Good to have you in our team. Good luck!

Well done Nic! Gym v.pub? Mmmmmh what a choice! But you made it. Yay! :D X

Well done the Friday gang! At least we're still showing up and posting how the week went good, bad or indifferent. It means we're all still committed and giving it a go. :clap: That's really rubbish Nic. I know it's probably not the same but I once had a boss who was a complete bully and it...

Well done Debbie! That's a great start.

2lbs for me today. Happy at that ...so you were right Nic no need to worry. I feel bad now though- here was me with the Thursday blues just because it's weigh in eve and you were feeling down this week Nic. You are one of my best motivators so sending a wee hug. Hope you have a happier week...

I am exactly the same. I wake up through the night and it's the first thought in my head. Of course then I need to go to the loo and then I'm awake. No let's not say we're sad....just conscientious! I just wish my conscience would shut up after midnight!!;)

I suffer from this big time.:( Things that help me: Losec/omperazole or ranitidine/zantac(not both) Sleep on an extra pillow Leave a good long gap after eating before exercising or doing housework Things that make it worse: Eating late Eating too much Being overweight Alcohol...

Definitely need a pick me up. :D Or is that not what you mean. Why is it I always feel gloomy on Thursday? I get this foreboding feeling that weigh on is going to be bad (irrational when I've been good all week) and then spend the day trying to stay under my points. Madness! Anyway swing the...

Welcome Debbie! The Friday weigh-inners are brilliant and really supportive so hope you will enjoy being one of us. I'm an "at home" person too and am following the plan with my OH (who has now lost 16 lbs:jelous:) and one of my teenage kids. It's going OK so far. Good luck this week! Gill x

Options hot choccy 1prop. Lumpfree options hot choccy 1 activityp. Making the whole exercise "pointless" but so very tasty. :D

Welcome Felix. The Friday weigh-in gang are brilliant, so look forward to hearing how you go. Sts weeks are a bummer Meg!:sigh: Great attitude though and goodluck this week for a loss everyone. Gillx

Well done Sian! That's great for a week "off the wagon"! 2lbs for me this week. Pleased and surprised as I had myself prepared for a sts. Have developed tennis elbow and it's been affecting me in my workouts but I'm keeping walking.(don't play tennis:confused:) Hope it goes well for the...

At least you girls have a reason if things aren't great this week and you enjoyed it(I'm so jealous)!:D I have a horrible feeling this isn't going to be a good weigh in and I have tried really hard- not because I'm a boring good girl but just because I had no chance to misbehave:sigh:. Still no...

Well done Nic! I did my penance this morning. Definitely sweated buckets today. I missed my training yesterday so I was up for it today and I put in everything I had but now I'm absolutely knackered. Not sure I could party tonight but I hope you have fun tonight!!:cool: Gillx

That's fantastic! Well done:D! I can't wait to be where you are. It will take some work but I'll get there. It must feel fantastic not to be obese - or as I heard a man in Morrisons say a few weeks ago- "a Beast". There was more truth than he knew in what he was saying believe me.;) Good luck...

OH Sian that's a real shame :(. It happens from time to time that the scales can do some weird stuff but I'm hoping for a loss for you next week. I hate to lower the tone but if I haven't "been" the scale can show some freaky numbers. (Making these sort of comments to my OH always results in...

Well done. You must be delighted. Are you having a treat or are you being good for another good loss? Gillx

O my word that's brilliant news Nic. You did exactly as you hoped. Now that's the kind of surprise I like;). Yup Indian is my takeaway of choice too but they are the reason I'm here :(. Must avoid them like the plague. Oh well special chow mein again.....a treat???? Well it was the first four...

Wow Nic that's fab! To get a loss when you least expect it and you are in holiday mode is a bonus. Will be great to wave goodbye to the 17's. I can't wait for my next goal which is 12 st 11.(7lbs away!) I quite like a Chinese on a Friday but am a bit fed up with my 9 pp special chow mein. Any...

3lbs this week.:D Pleased with that. That's 33lbs in 1 month off between OH, one of my kids(not a WW member) and me. Hope you all get a success too. Now to have a wee treat. But what to have? What's your treat? Gillx

Know what you mean. Mine went back yesterday. Spent the whole morning missing them and then was having such a lovely time in the afternoon clearing up the post summer guddle nearly was late for them at school gate.:eek: Can't live with them and can't live without them. :D Gillx

Must go see the Smurfs with my girls. Good excuse for popcorn, Gillx

Welcome all to Friday WI. Great to have more smart folk who love the weekend. :) Is there really any other reason we do the Friday victory dance/walk of shame??? Good luck everyone for tomorrow. Gillx

Welcome. Hope it all went well last week. Good luck for this week. Totally agree Friday is def the best weigh in day. Gillx

I agree Sian. It's definitely is not as restrictive so I expect that since I am in for a fairly lengthy journey that's in it's favour. I couldn't wait to be done on that plan with such detailed analysis of everything especially when foods had lots of different components. Your total weight...

1lb for me this week. I really hope that I can boost it 2 this week. I am noticing that this plan is much slower than the old counting fats, carbs, protein diet. Then again maybe it's just me that's slower! :) Age will do that I suppose-18 years older and a slower metabolism:(. Still at least...

Brilliant Nic! I am absolutely loathing the spray oil for certain things. My pans have never been so hard to clean! Do you get activity points for elbow grease? :) I will get my brain working and see where I can spend the points without stalling the weight loss. Thanks! Gill x

Well done on your losses everyone. That felt quite a hard week for me.I was on the cross trainer most days and I was definitely sweating. (sorry!YUK!) Do you always eat all of your main points every day? I'm just getting the hang of this system as when I did this before forever ago it was...

2lbs this week. Hurray!:bliss: Hope you all have success! Gill x

Hi I'm in week 2 of ww pp and a Friday weigh in. Was a Gold member 18 years ago supposedly to lose my baby blubber after my 2 boys. Then had 2 girls in swift succession and put the weight back on plus another 2 stone. :( Now have had enough of being overweight and OH and I are on the plan...
