Hi there, thanks for your reply, it's nice to know it's not just me who has struggled! Think maybe my expectations have been too high as I thought I'd be able to lose like I did before having my son! Soooo not the case! How long did it take you to lose two stone? Xxx

Hello everyone :-) I'm back after having my baby boy, he's nearly 8 weeks old and I've been back at WW for 4 weeks and I've only lost 4lbs in total......got another 31lbs to go so it's gonna be a hard slog at this rate! I'm not breast feeding and I had an emergency c-section, my son came 7...

Hi there :-) can someone please work out what my mums PP allowance would be, she's tried simple start from home but it's not for her so she wants to switch to PP: Age 50 Height 5ft 7 Weight 167lbs Female Office day job but started walking 2-3 times a week. Thanks in advance! Xxx

Thanks Hun I really appreciate it :-) I've never been this heavy, I feel like I've completely lost myself, gonna do a food shop tomorrow and take control back, fed up of feeling so rubbish! Onwards and upwards :-) Xxxxx

Sorry to be cheeky but I'm starting WW too......again! :-( I can't afford to go to meetings at the moos please could you work out how many propoints I'm entitled to? I've heard lots about simple start but wanna try pp as it worked so well last time :-) Female, 5ft 10, 28 years old and currently...

I've never used them but some people swear by using them, I think it varies for most people, some peeps use them for their weekly takeaway/ alcohol etc so it's really up to you, it's nice to know they are there as a back up :-) Xxx

thanks very much :-) Xxx

Hi there, please could someone work out for me how many points I would be allowed as I'm getting myself confused! Female adult 5ft 10 in height 28 years old 179 lbs :-( Moderately active although I sit down all day at work and exercise 2-3 times a week. Many thanks in advance :-) Xxx

No we've decided not to find out, so tempted though!!! My bump is just starting to show but I'd already put on weight prior to finding out I was pregnant so I've probably got about 21lbs to lose without putting on baby weight too!!! Trying to eat healthily and I'm still exercising but just don't...

Thanks hun I appreciate it, I'm gonna ring one of the group leaders near me and have a chat to see what they say, if they tell me I can't attend a group then I'll just do it from home like you suggested but not be mega strict, like I said I don't wanna lose tons of weight but I wanna maintain a...

Thanks for your reply, I don't think my BMI is high enough for my GP or midwife to consent or provide me with a doctors note to participate at a group as I've read somewhere your BMI has to be 30 plus. Kinda think this is unfair as I'm still miserable about my weight and it's making me...

Hi everyone, I'm nearly 15 weeks pregnant and I'm having a tough time with my weight, I know I'm going to put on weight but for as long as I can remember I've always been trying to lose weight or maintain my weight after being on either WW or SW so I feel quite lost at the mo :-( I found out I...

Hi everyone, I've recently rejoined WW after putting a bit of weight back on after my wedding/honeymoon and then Xmas on top :-) Had my first weigh in last week and lost 2.5lbs which I was pleased :-) I've been exercising regularly but it's been getting harder not easier and I've just found out...

2.5lbs off :-) feeling quite pleased but still got 14lbs to go! Xxx

Good luck to everyone for weigh in tomorrow! It's my first one and I feel really nervous :-(. Had a good week but I don't feel like I've lost at all but I'm trying to stay confident because it's worked before so it will work again! Xxx

Hi everyone ? I started back at WW on Tuesday, been a member for around 4 years on and off and got to gold in March 2012...... Always managed more or less to maintain until recently. Got married in Nov 2013, then had Xmas, New Year and a belated honeymoon in January and I've put on over a...

Hello peeps, I'm starting this thread to help me keep track of my weight, measurements and also exactly what I'm popping in my mouth!!!! Hoping to see some changes with Herbalife but I'm fully aware that its not a magic solution! Also by doing a diary I'm hopeful that others can point me in...

What measurements did you take??? Just gonna have my first shake too, eeek! My coach told me to stick to snacks of about 150 calories but she didn't mention about evening meal??? Good luck! Xxxx

Hiya :-) What meals have you been having in the evening? Just looking for a bit of inspiration as I'm already panicking about what to have!!!! Do you find the shakes filling? Also what snacks do you have? I bought some reduced fat mini houmous pots today to have as a snack with carrot sticks...

Me too :-) gonna keep a diary with my measurements and weight so I can keep a tally of any results..... Fingers crossed! Xxxx

That's awesome! I would absolutely love to get under 11 stone..... Just so I could say I'm in the 10's!!! Haha!!! :-) have a great weekend! Xxx

Pooh keep us updated how you go on :-) I'm starting on Monday too!!!! Xx

I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one who struggles at the weekends! I work shifts so when me and my partner are both off at weekends we certainly like to enjoy ourselves by having nights out :-) I think it'll be strange at first trying the shakes as I'm so used to WW but I'm feeling optimistic...

How do you go on at weekends if your going out or having a drink etc??? Also do you feel full with the shakes? I'm panicking that I'm going to feel hungry??? Finally, does each snack need to be below 150 cals or about that amount? Thanks :-)

Hello :-) I have literally just got my first pack of shakes this morning so I'm going to be starting Herbalife on Monday :-) I met with my distributor on Tuesday evening and she talked me through Herbalife, how it works etc, and what my aims/goals are, she also did a tanita scale reading...

Wow what a difference already!!!!! That's incredible, I have the 30 day shred DVD too...... I only use it when I can't get to the gym but my friend at work actually did it for the full 30 days and she's noticed a huge difference in how toned she is so I've decided I'm gonna give it a proper bash...

Thanks for that, it's just interesting to see how others have gone on using it, well done on such a fantastic weight loss, that's phenomenal!!! I'm excited to see what is going to be best for me and to see if its the boost I need, plus it will be good to get someone else's perspective on what...

Thanks for that, I know she'll probably tell me all this next week but how long would the tub last you which is £27???? I'm just trying to weigh up whether its financially viable??? What results have you seen over the past two years? Xxxx

Hello :-) Hope you don't mind me asking but how much is Herbalife??? I've got a meeting with a distributor next week to do all my stats, goals etc but would like to be able to anticipate how much it costs??? I've done WW for years and I'm only 1lb off my goal weight, I did achieve my goal...

Unbelievably I lost 1.5lbs!!! Really happy :-) Only 1.5lbs to go but my mum had a word last night and said I've lost enough and my sister said I looked gaunt which isn't the look I was going for!!!!! It's hard when you've got a particular weight in mind though as I wanna stick to my goal of...

Good luck everyone, dreading WI tonight, had a bad weekend and having an unexpected TOTM which has been hell all week!!!! :-( Still going though to face whatever the scales say! Xxxxx

Well at least you enjoyed yourself :-) I've done the January Dryathlon so after work tomorrow I'll be heading straight to the pub, haha!!! Soooo looking forward to a glass of vino, out tomorrow and Sat night so gonna have to work extra hard Sun to Thursday....... Excited to have a social life...

Lost a lb!!! Pleased with that :-) Xxx

Not feeling overly confident for tonight's weigh in, had a killer of a week at work and feel like I've picking at food here and there....... Just been one of those tough weeks but will update later, I've tracked and been to the gym as normal but feel anxious for some reason??? Keep your fingers...

Awesome loss!!!! Well done you super slimmer :-) bet you are mega happy! Well done and well deserved :-) Xxx

I get married in November!!! Fab motivation :-) Well done on your losses so far!!! Xxx

2lbs off for me :-) Only 4lbs till target, woohoo!!! Xxxx well done everyone else on their losses! Xxxx

Well done and as they say a loss is better than a gain!!!! Had a hard weekend so will be happy with even 1/2 lb off!!! Don't weigh in till 6.30pm tonight as me and my mum go to class together :-) will check in later with good news hopefully! Xxx

I think that's quite a decent speed but if you think you can go faster try building it up a bit :-) I just used to run on the treadmill and go on the bike in the gym 2- 3 times a week and I also play netball twice a week so I suppose that is quite a bit but if I didn't do it I'd be anxious that...

Hello :-) I weigh in on a Thursday too! Previously a gold target member but had a blip over Nov holiday and Xmas/New Year!!! Week 1 - lost 2.5lbs Week 2 - no weigh in due to being at work :-( Fingers crossed for a loss this Thursday, good luck everyone Xxxx

Hiya, I've just started week 4 of the C25K and I think it has helped with keeping weight off not necessarily losing weight....... If you are training properly then really I think you should be eating more as your body needs fuel especially with regular running, if you are jogging how...

I've learnt I can survive on a lot less food and much smaller portions....... I can easily eat any bloke I know under the table but now I just choose not to :-) Xxxxx

You MUST have your breakfast!!!! I'd be passing out without breakfast, don't know how you can go without :-( If your worried about having too many points have fruit...... I snack on grapes and melon throughout the morning and I LOVE strawberries and raspberries :-) A typical breakfast for me...

2.5lbs off yesterday at my first weigh in, mega chuffed!!! On a course this weekend for work so shouldn't be any temptation for me, got my meals planned and no alcohol as I'm doing the January Dryathlon...... So far so good but I'm miffed at my Boyf, he's sauntered off to the pub with the lads...

Stop weighing yourself!!!! Your weight fluctuates constantly hence why they recommend once a week at roughly the same time as this is the most clear indication of what you have lost in a week....... I know how tempting in (I'm a previous weighaholic!!!) but don't do it, there's no point getting...

I know you'll be gutted but stick with it because it will come off!!! Are you sure you've pointed everything correctly including your activity points??? I'm always wary because different people interpret the point value of exercise differently??? How many daily points are you on? It's always...

Fantastic loss!!! Well done :-) Xxx

Firstly well done as 3lbs is a great loss! Secondly stop being so hard on yourself, everyone is different and we all lose weight differently and at different rates, I really would hide your scales though as they will only lead to disappointment!!!! I know this from personal experience...... Got...

Great losses!!!! Well done guys :-) keep up the fab work Xxx

What crisps and chocolate??? I eat French fries which are 2pp - 3pp per packet depending on the flavour, skips are also 2pp per packet. Mini bags of Cadbury buttons are 2pp and I pointed a mars bar for my friend today which was 7pp so quite a difference! Have you got the WW app??? It's fab for...

I want to lose between 8lbs - 10lbs, my gold target weight is 11st 4lbs and my first weigh in after Nov holiday and Xmas/New Year was last Thursday and I weighed in at 11st 11.5lbs, not got much to lose but the last few are always tough!!! I'm also back at the gym and training for a 10K on...

I'm exactly the same.....even though I've never done it I always think in the back of my mind that if I eat too many points during the day I might run out at night when I might need them and then I end up with loads left which totally defeats the whole point of WW!!!! I'm making a conscious...

That app is brill! Thanks again Xxx

Will give it a try! Thank you :-) Xxx

Carbonara if I can work the flipping PP value out!!! Made a chilli last night with the WW jar of chilli sauce.....delicious!!!! Xxxxx

Hi guys, I'm hoping to make some carbonara tonight with tagliatelle but I'm really struggling to find the points value or work it out for the tagliatelle!!!! The brand is Napolina (500g) and the nutritional info states per 100g: Protein 12g Carbohydrate 77g Fat 0.7g There is no fibre info...

Sounds lush :-) will be trying this too! Thank you!!! :-) Xxx

What's your lasagne recipe??? 7PP is fab! Xxx

Yeah it is :-) thanks ever so much, will be trying that ASAP! Xxxx

I've just started this, really enjoying it too :-) signed up for a 10K race on the 2nd June..... Paid for it so I WILL complete it!!! My NY resolution is to run a 10K race before I get married in Nov, I'm certainly not a runner but determined to do it and the app I've got had great reviews so...

There's no frylight needed :-) BNS is 0PP and garlic is free too, Enjoy Xxx

Ooooh please will you post the recipe if you get chance? I like the sound of this :-) Xxx

Ooooh please will you post the recipe if you get chance? I like the sound of this :-) Xxxx

Today is a new day! Don't beat yourself up about it, start afresh and think forward, you can't change it so focus on today! Xxx

Very chuffed :-) was absolutely convinced I'd be creeping up towards 13 stone, especially since coming back from hols at the end of Nov and totally not sticking to plan :-/ Very happy that I've just got over half a stone to lose to get to target however what a difference it makes, feel a lot...

OMG...... Big blonde cock up, they're flipping 8PP!!!! So sorry everyone :-( soooo glad I've not been going mad with these!!!! Gggrrrr, will have to find a different savoury snack now!!! On a lighter note..... Pardon the pun! Just got weighed expecting to be around 12 stone 7lbs and I'm only...

Will check tonight at class!!! Really hope they're not...... Aaaaarrrggghhh! Xxxx

I'm sure people must think I'm a crazy lady when I'm in a supermarket...... I'm always working out the PP's on my phone and then either writing on stuff or applying stickers!!! Bonkers but I kinda enjoy it :-) Got first weigh in tonight since beginning of Nov.....eeeek! Xxxx

Yeah but they are asda's smart price range and the packets are much smaller hence why 2PP!!! Super noodles are much higher in PP's hence why I've stocked up on these, only 11p too!!! Bargain :-) Xxxx Remember it's the 65g packet, doesn't sound a lot but you get plenty :-) Xxx

I had today: Breakfast Grapes 0PP Melon 0PP 2 x crumpets 4PP Laughing cow extra light triangle 0PP Lunch Tomato soup 0PP (home made) Carrot sticks 0PP Sugar free jelly 0PP Snacks Skips crisps 2PP Asda smart price chicken noodles (65g) 2PP WW chocolate biscuit 2PP Dinner Asda tomato and basil...

My 0PP soup recipe is mega easy and you can adapt it to how you want it, I tend to chuck in all kinds of stuff depending on what I have in but the basic recipe is as follows: 3 x large carrots 2 x large onions 2 x tins of chopped tomatoes 1 x small carton of passata 1 x red pepper 2 x tsp...

Good luck :-) Xxx

Happy New Year everybody!!! Back on the wagon as of today and feeling very excited :-) Decided to stay off the scales until my official weigh in at class tomorrow night......really haven't got a clue what I am but if I'm under 12st 7lbs I'll be quite pleased :-/ fingers crossed! Off to the gym...

Have a fabulous, fantastic new year everyone and good luck to everyone on their 2013 weight loss journey!!!! Slightly anxious but ultimately very excited to get started..... Signed up for the January Dryathlon, my first 5K race in March and my first 10K race in Aug...... That way I can't get out...

Hi there! 0PP soups are a must!!!! Very filling and you can make your own varieties :-) My WW saviour is butternut squash..... I literally couldn't survive without this, I have it with everything!!!! Chop up into chip/ wedges shapes, sprinkle Cajun or paprika and bang in the oven, delicious...

Haha, pain is gain.....allegedly! :-) Xxx

Honestly it's not that difficult, I'm not saying its easy....you will sweat and no doubt be sore for a few days but that's the whole point :-) its good as a starting point and you can progress at your own pace from Level 1 up to Level 3 Xxx

Blimey shin splints??? Ouch!!! Can't say I had that problem, just aching muscles :-) Xxx

I have the shred DVD by Gillian Michaels ( she's one of the fitness trainers from USA Biggest Loser) It's 3 x 20 minute workouts that are different levels of intensity so you start at level 1 and work your way towards level 3, it's aimed at fat burning and it's strength, cardio and stomach...

How many PP's for the egg or tuna salad??? Like the idea of a toasted pitta stuffed with salad etc, thanks! :-) Xxx

I will set a goal/target once I weigh in on Thursday and I know what the damage is :-) Got my friends hen do in mid Feb and wedding at the beginning of April so hoping to be feeling much better and obviously weigh less by these events :-) Xxxx

Butternut Squash!!! Goes with anything and everything and bulks a meal out :-) I sprinkle a bit of paprika or Cajun on mine, delicious!!! BNS is my WW saviour :-) Xxx

Well I'm Sam and I'm 27 years old, I live with my fiancé who is very supportive which is a huge help.... He eats anything I put in front of him :-) I'm 5ft 10 and my target weight is 11st 4lbs......initially when I joined WW in Sept 2011 I was nearly 13 stone and I reached my target weight in...

Hello, I'm looking for help re lunch ideas...... I'm very much into making my 0PP soups which I love but I've found myself stuck in a rut so I want to try other things :-) I have a tendency to eat 0PP foods throughout the day and save my points for a big tea however again because I'm in a rut...

I'm with you Becca!!! Rejoining on 3rd Jan :-) gonna be a slim jim for my wedding in Nov 2013, wooohoooo! Good luck to everyone Xxxx

To rejoin a WW class, get my tush in gear, get back to the gym and lose my holiday weight!!! I'm actually excited to get back on it :-) roll on 2013 and being back at target weight :-) xxxx

My mum lost 3 1/2 stone on WW with absolutely no exercise!!!! I truly believe though that exercising helped me and my weight loss plus noticed a big difference in how toned I became, felt fab :-) Xxx

Firstly, stop beating yourself up!!! Everyone finds it tough at this time of year and you have to be realistic, try and be good on the days you don't have anything on over Xmas...... Damage limitation is better than saying "stuff it" and just feeding your face for the sake of it, it will only...

Welcome back!!! I'm back too :-) What I really want to say is that you CAN do it if you really really try, I've done SW and WW before but Sept 2011 I'd had ENOUGH! Completely applied myself as I was fed up of feeling crappy about myself and got to goal in March 2012 :-) an amazing feeling...

Thanks for the replies, very much appreciated! I'm struggling as I've reverted back to my usual habit of not eating enough so I'm well under my points but I'm in a rut of eating the same thing day in/day out because I know that's how I lost the weight initially but it's boring!!! My problem...

Hi everyone, I've not been on here for ages but thought this would be the best place to get the right answer ASAP!!! I joined WW towards the end of last year literally when the new 26 daily PP's was brought in, I hit my target weight in March this year sticking to 26PP's (there abouts!) and...

Hello peeps :-) I got weighed last night and was thrilled to discover I'm only 0.5lbs from my target weight. I'm on 26PP per day and have been since I started......which was literally the week when it dropped from 29PP to 26PP so took the advice of my class leader and have been having 26PP...

Welcome and congrats on your fab weight loss so far :-) Some weeks our bodies play tricks on us bit if you've stuck to your points it will come off!!! Xxxxxx

Thanks folks for the lovely supportive responses!!! Feeling much better today, fully back on track and had a cracking workout at the gym :-) I've also decided to get weighed tomorrow and face whatever it says on the scales.....if I have put on I'll know exactly why and then I can work on...

Hello there!!! Congrats on your AMAZING weight loss so far!!! :-) I've only got 3.5lbs to go till my target and feeling very fed up at the mo as I'm finding it difficult, my tip is quite simply to stick with it and you will lose those last few stubborn lbs!!!! A girl at my class only had 1lb...

I totally feel like this right NOW!!!!! :-( why is losing weight so hard :-( Xxxxx

Hi folks, Having a real wobble today/past few days......been really struggling since my last weigh in on Thursday! Had a busy hectic weekend which included eating out, birthday celebrations and vino and now I can't seem to get my tush back in gear, eeeeek :-( Was feeling a bit fed up anyway...

1/2lb off for me......was hoping for a bit more but still pleased as a loss is a loss!!! Only got 3.5lbs to go but got three weekends coming up with BIG nights out planned, eeeeeeeek!!!! There's gonna be some serious tush movement at the gym for moi!!!!! Hope everyone has had a good week :-)...

Definitely eat your weeklies if your exercising, your body needs fuel!!!! Keep up the amazing work :-) Xxxxx

Had a big family outing for lunch yesterday, everyone had burgers, chips, I've cream, pasta and garlic bread.........I had a chicken and bacon salad minus the dressing!!!! Today I resisted a Mcdonalds breakfast whilst everyone in my office scoffed hash browns and sausage/bacon mcmuffins...

Chin up!!!! WW really does work but you have got to stick to it properly!!! However this can be hard so my advice is to be organised, plan ahead and track everything!!! I have to be super organised as I too have a very hectic schedule..... I plan my meals in advance and work out the points so I...

1lb on for me.......well chuffed to be honest as I thought it would have been about 2-3lbs after my weekend away!!!! Really proves that if you get back on the WW track straight away you can pull it back :-) Got nothing on the next couple of weeks so gonna work really hard to get to my target...

Good luck for today's weigh in everybody!!!! Fingers crossed for a miracle after my friends hen do :-) Xxxxx haha Xxxxx

Well done Louise for getting back on it!!!! I've just been on a hen do and I've ate and drank like a pig for the past three days!!! Had a ball but straight back on track today and also worked my tush off in the gym :-) Even if I gain at my weigh in on Thursday I'll know the reason why and I'll...

Home made 0PP soup with Melba toast and a laughing cow extra light triangle..... Yum yum!!! I also dip carrot sticks in my tomato soup.......very random I know but stops me eating bread which I think has helped my weight loss as bread makes me very bloated Xxxxx

Wow!!!!!!!!!! Huge congratulations!!!! That really is fabulous :-) you should be extremely proud of yourself hun!!!! Awesome inspiration too for the rest of us :-) keep up the great work......you'll be doing a marathon before you know it :-) Xxxxx

Aaaaw Nicole...... Big hugs to you!!!! You'll have that back off in no time :-) My motivation for when I'm feeling crappy or not totally on it is that I don't ever want that feeling back that I had at my heaviest! Also nothing's beats the new feeling I now have when I look in the mirror and...

Great losses folks :-) 1/2 lb off for me!!!!! Wooooooop!!!!!!! Very shocked as had a naughty weekend but loving WW as you can have a life, enjoy yourself and still lose as long as you get back on track after having a great time!!! Changed my target as well tonight, chatted with my class leader...

Fab idea!!!! As long as it keeps coming off I'll be happy :-) even if it is slow! Xxxx

How's everyone feeling about weigh in tomorrow???? I'm cacking my pants!!!!! Had such a great weekend with lots of fabulous food and vino but nervous about stepping on those scales, eeeeek! :-) Being brave though because want to see where I'm up to especially as I'm off to London this weekend...

Big big hugs to you!!!!! I know how disheartening it is when you gain after trying so hard but you'll get there :-) keep your chin up hun, we're all here to support each other :-) Xxxx

I have well and truly used my weeklies and more besides!!!! Had a do on Sat night.....awesome night, awesome buffet, lots of vino, lots of dancing and then to top it off.....me, the Boyf and a garlic bread with cheese and a portion of potato wedges!!!!! Aaaaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!! However was bloody...

Half on :-( my own fault for being a little piglet last night so not too disheartened!!! Got a big night out though this weekend so feeling nervous but at least I'll have till Thursday to rectify any naughtiness!!! Xxxx

Eeeeek!!!! Had vino and pasta marinara last night for our meal out......was delicious but feeling naughty now!!!! Fingers crossed for weigh in tonight Xxxxx

Kinda looking forward to weigh in apart from one thing......going out for a meal tonight for my mother in law's birthday! Thankfully I can't drink as I'm in work early tomorrow.....never been to this restaurant though and as its new I can't find a menu online so I've not been able to plan what...

Had a munchies week this week but just about hanging on till weigh in day!!!! As for shin splints...... Unfortunately rest is the only cure I found works :-( hope you find something quicker to get shut...... Bloody kills!!!! Xxxx

Awesome loss!!! Keep up the good work!!! :-) Xxxx

My motivation is shopping!!!!! Bought a gorgeous red dress in a size 10 today...... Yes a size 10!!!!!! I even did a little victory jig in the changing rooms with my mum as I was so thrilled that I could fit in a 10 :-) Wearing it next Saturday to a do we've got and I'm so excited :-) I also...

Totally know what you mean!!!! I've always worked weekends but not anymore! Loving having weekends off but this is tough on WW, I'm 100% on track during the week but I've found it hard at the weekends......I've got round this by planning my treats/meals/alcohol and it work!!!! :-) Got my WW...

Great losses peeps :-) have a great weekend!!! Xxx

2lbs off!!!!! WOOOOOOOP!!!!!!! Absolutely thrilled :-) takes me to 11st 7lbs...... Only 7lbs till target!!!! Yeyyyyyy!!!!! Xxxxx

Congrats :-) Xxx

If you know you can't help hopping on the scales frequently just remember that your weight fluctuates several times a day.... Sometimes for no apparent reason!!!! Take your class weigh in or gym weigh in as the right guide to your weight loss..... Once a week is sufficient so don't get too...

Kinda looking forward to it...... Had a decent week but still nervous!!!! Praying for a loss and hopefully more than 1/2lb this week! Positive thoughts peeps :-) Xxxxx

Of course!!! Welcome and good luck for your first weigh in :-) keep us all posted Xxx

Feeling very pleased with myself as I've been to Frankie and Bennys tonight..... Had the light choice spag Bol with a side portion of salad with 1 x glass of wine :-) All in all I've been out, had a lovely meal and stayed within my daily 26 points :-) Woop Woop :-) This means I can have a...

Oooh thanks Xxx

Ooooh thanks! Xxx

Did my first shred session last night and enjoyed it however my arms/ upper body are killing today!!! Really felt it in the gym tonight but that must be a good thing! :-) Xxx

Be careful with your PP values........ If you have 2 x WW sausages this is actually 3PP in value......there's quite a few food items that jump in PPs if you have more than one, pretty sure it's the same for WW bacon medallions too!!!! Try turkey rashers, defo 1PP for two slices. :-) Xxxx

I've tried the white and the rose, love both and I have felt slightly merry off both but can't say it's floored me :-) the mini bottles are brill for when you just want one glass with your evening meal :-) Vino is most certainly my fave tipple so WW wine is a god send! Mainly because I can...

Activity points are deceiving..... What it says on the tracker doesn't equate to what my WW pedometer says!!!! I work out 3 x per week for 50-60 mins and in sweating big style! I also play netball every week in which I'm sweating!!! I never eat my activity points and don't have a flipping clue...

I'm thinking of changing my weigh in till a Sat morning or a Friday evening..... Just so I can use all my weeklies at the weekend when I tend to have a blow out..... Only problem is there are no classes near me on a Friday, booooo!!!! :-( However I currently weigh in on a Thursday and it does...

Lost 1/2lb again!!!! Gotta be chuffed considering my pig out on Sunday..... Defo not gonna happen this weekend as I wanna lose 2lbs next week to get to 11st 7lbs!!!! Eeeeek :-) Coming off slowly but I'm just thrilled it's coming off!!!! 9lbs till target weight :-) good luck everybody Xxxxx

Think positive SLIM thoughts everybody for tomorrow!!!! :-) Xxxxx

I've gone from working most weekends to having every weekend off in my new job..... Loving it but finding weekends soooo hard with WW!!!! I'm 100% during the week at work but come Friday I'm just dying for vino :-) I've limited my 49 weeklies to one blow out on a Sat night but I find Sunday day...

Hi guys, How's everybody feeling about this Thursdays weigh in??? I had a bad day on Sunday and kept snacking like little miss piggy!!!! Was back on track yesterday, been to the gym and going again tomorrow night but dunno if it'll be enough for a loss, eeek! Fingers crossed for a loss or...

I'd be lost without WW ready meals!!! So quick and easy when I'm working late plus you can bulk them out with plenty of salad or veg and LOTS of BNS!!! :-) Xxxx

Hi Leanne, I also switched from SW to WW as I was really struggling to lose however that has all changed since joining WW...... Loving it! :-) Good luck on your weight loss journey :-) Xxxxx

Butternut squash is defo 0PP!!!! I can't get enough of the stuff :-) not sure about the others though sorry Xxxx

Thanks very much :-) Xxx

Hiya, where can you get one of these bands??? I bought a WW pedometer and you can turn it onto activity mode...... After an intense 50 minute work out including lots of cardio it gives me a measly 2PP's!!!! So I'd be intrigued to see what PP's are calculated with the band you mentioned...

Good luck!!! :-) Xxxxx

Resisted cream cakes and chocolate eclairs galore today!!!! V proud of myself although I didn't really have a choice after all my scoffing yesterday if I wanna have a loss this coming week...... Heading in the right direction though and proud of myself for resisting the delicious looking cakes...

Fully back on track today and had a great workout at the gym after work, feeling much more motivated today and far less bloated now that TOTM is over!!!! Target weight here I come!!!! :-) .......... No hangover wanted this weekend to avoid having the munchies again :-) Xxxx

Congrats! Keep up the good work :-) Xxx

I don't drink enough water but my problem is that I constantly need the loo after every drink I have!!!! It's getting a bit embarrassing actually so I try to avoid having regular drinks at work as I'm forever taking trips to the ladies!!!! Xxxx

No idea how many pro points I've had today.......woops!!!! Just sorted my breakfast and lunch out for work tomorrow and I'm ready to get back on track ASAP!!!! I've also made a batch of 0PP tomato soup for the coming week..... Operation skinny is recommending tomorrow :-) May even dig out my...

Well I've well and truly fallen off the wagon today and I literally haven't stopped eating!!! Hangover munchies are the devil!!!! Not gonna mope about it though, tomorrow is a new day and I've got till Saturdays weigh in to work my backside off...... I usually go to class on a Thursday but I'm...

Well after my rant in Asda last night I stormed off upstairs and had a bath...... Came down to a candlelit meal with a note that had all the PP's worked out....... Burst into tears again ( can't you tell it's flipping TOTM!!!) and my boyfriend apologised for upsetting me and said he understands...

Are you some kind of machine???? Give your body a break!!! Your clearly in the right frame of mind with being so focused and your having great losses plus WW states 1-2lbs a week is normal....... Yes we would all love to lose loads every week but if it was that easy we wouldn't be here! Give...

Here's to great losses next week! :-) Xxx

Welcome to WW and welcome to this brilliant site, it really is such a great support when your trying to lose weight :-) You will find tons of buddies on here along with great ideas, tips, recipes and rants :-) Good luck on your weight loss journey :-) Xxxxx

Stokegal- that's a great idea about planning my meals in advance, defo gonna give that a go this week and I'll hopefully spread my points out a bit more evenly :-) Baby belle - funny you should say that as I've just had an argument with my Boyf in asda over what to have for tea...... He...

Hi peeps, had a bit of an argument with my mum tonight over WW as she feels I've become a bit obsessive over food, weigh ins and pro points in general....... My defence is that if I'm not totally focused I end up cheating which is only cheating myself hence being WW mad!!!! I understand where...

1/2 lb off for me and TOTM so pretty pleased with that! :-) Xxx

Yeah I've lost every week except Xmas and I was expecting a gain after my alcohol and food intake! Xxx

Sounds delicious...... This could be a nice substitute for garlic bread :-) Xxx

Lost 1/2 lb taking me to 11st 9.5 lbs....... 10lbs to go till I'm in the tens!!!! Woop! :-) Xxxxx

When I joined I was 12st 5.5lbs and in my first week I lost 6lbs!!!! Nearly fell off the scales with shock! Lost a stone so far and 9.5lbs to go till target! :-) Oooh and I'm 26 and 5ft 10 in height :-) Xxx

Lost 1/2 lb and feeling very pleased with that seen as though it's TOTM!!! :-) only 9.5lbs till target....... Getting there slowly but surely, woop! :-) Xxxxx

I would keep doing exactly what your doing! Enjoy your food and don't feel guilty.....as long as you track then your doing it right! When you get nearer to target you might find that you need to drop a couple of points but keep up the great work :-) Xxxx

It really depends on how much you have to lose, I'm quite strict with my points but not got much left to lose.......be careful it doesn't bite you on the backside next week and really try to track all your points! Great loss so well done :-) Xxx

I need as much positivity as I can get seen as though TOTM has just started :-( weigh in at 6.30pm so I'll update later, good luck everybody!!!! Xxxxx

Congrats! Awesome loss :-) Xxxx

Well done, a loss is great however big or small :-) Xxxx

I'm due my TOTM tomorrow and it's my weigh in day :-( feeling bloated but gonna go and fingers crossed for a STS or a loss! Xxxx

Welcome and good luck! You'll find loads of great tips, hints and recipes on here so enjoy :-) Xxxxx

I have chocolate every night and most nights I have a glass of wine too :-) all within my points though! Xxxx

Chin up hun, tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start :-) defo go and get weighed and face the music, you might surprise yourself!!! It's hard as it is but when it's cold, dark and miserable all I wanna do is veg out!!! You'll get there so keep at it :-) Xxxx

Welcome and good luck! :-) Xxx

This is quite simple..... You are clearly not eating enough!!!!! With the amount of exercise you are doing you should definitely be eating ALL your weeklies as well as your dailies!!!! Exercise often means water retention so with the amount of activity points you've gained I'm not surprised...

Weighing yourself once a week is sufficient!!!! Your weight fluctuates throughout the day so once a week at the same time will be an accurate reflection of your weight!!! Torturing yourself by weighing repeatedly is strangely addictive but if you can kick the habit do it and weigh once a week...

Ladies I feel so sorry for you!!!! It shouldn't matter if this is your first or fiftieth attempt!!!! Ggggrrrrr, men make me so mad at times!!!! My dad is exactly the same with my mum however she proved him well and truly wrong by losing 50lbs!!!!! :-) I don't think he likes the fact that she...

My advice is if you do have a blow out or a splurge vow to yourself to get back on the wagon straight away! I know this is really hard to actually do but I find it works for me and it's all about damage limitation...... Even if you put on a couple or STS it's better than going off the rails...

TOTM can definitely cause you to gain even though you've been good...... Going to the gym I find slows down my weight loss!!!! I still go regularly three times a week as I love it but make sure your eating enough if your exercising a lot!!! Also how often are you weighing yourself??? Once a...

Great losses everyone!!! :-) have a brill weekend peeps, here's to more fab losses next Thursday :-) Xxx

Hello!!!!! Just stumbled across this thread and would love to join :-) my start weight was 12st 10lbs and I'm currently 11st 10lbs.........my target weight is 11st but I actually would LOVE to be able to say "I'm 10 stone something"!!!!!! So I'm aiming for 10st 13lbs :-) Xxxxx

Curry was awesome last night, yum yum!!! Had chicken tikka pieces with half a portion of rice...... No starter but had some garlic naan bread and copious amounts of vino!!!! Back on the wagon today though after having a great night out...... Only had 1PP yesterday coz had all free foods and went...

Congratulations!!! Fab loss :-) Keep up the great work :-) Xxxx

Congratulations :-) fab loss!!! Keep up the fab work :-) Xxx

Lost 3lbs!!!!!! Yey!!!!!! :-) 10lbs till target!!! Woop Woop :-) Xxxx

I'm going to the Indian tomorrow night too!!! Chicken tikka or chicken shashlik for me :-) and a few drinkies too, got weigh in tonight do fingers crossed!!! Xxxx

Thanks NatalieR!!! :-) that photo was taken in April 2011 for my sisters hen do and I cried my eyes out on my mum because I felt so much bigger than everyone else...... Makes me sad because looking at the photo now I can see I wasn't really big at all!!! That's what I wanna get back to and only...

Your simply not eating enough for the amount of exercise your doing...... If your earning that many activity points you should definitely have all your weekly points!!!! 3lbs is a great loss though so you should be very proud :-) Xxxx

I totally understand what your saying as I felt exactly the same in my first week!!! I'd been on SW for around 10 weeks before I switched to WW and really struggled so I was feeling very upset and disheartened..... Prior to my first weigh in at WW I was convinced I hadn't lost anything, so much...

I've just resisted opening a tin of celebrations left over from Xmas and had a banana instead!!!! :-) tea is in the oven and I'm starving so I'm proud of myself for not diving into the chocs!!!! Xxxxx

Congrats fellow slimmers :-) awesome losses!!! Xxx

It's not necessary but I'd defo do it as you won't believe the difference in inches when you reach your goal weight! My mum lost 3 stone in weight but she dropped 3-4 dress sizes, two shoe sizes, two cup sizes and all her rings were too big for her fingers!!!! Losing inches can often be a huge...

I work shifts so I also do it from waking up to getting in bed..... Bit of a pain when your tracking at 4 am in the morning but used to it now :-) Xxx

Throw those scales away!!!! Once a week preferably at the same time in the same clothing is sufficient!!! Your weight fluctuates so much throughout the week plus scales at home are never as good as slimming club scales :-) as for measurements I'd say once a week too..... You'll notice it...

I switched to WW from SW for exactly the same reasons!!! For me it was certainly too good to be true :-( loving WW though..... My tip is track, track, track!!!! Really helps you to stay focused!!! Xxxx

Honk for day 3 and 4!!! Yippee!!! :-) Xxx

Sausage and bean casserole sounds absolutely lush :-) I'll be making it this week so thanks very much!!! :-) Xxxx

Welcome!!! That's a great loss for your first week, well done :-) this week so far is going well, I'm working this weekend which is a bonus and nothing planned for my days off so gonna hit the gym and looking forward to weigh in to see where I'm at!!! Eeeek!!!! Xxxx hope everyone is having a...

Honk day 2!!! For yesterday :-) Xxx

Good luck on your weight loss journey!!! If your new to this site you will learn to absolutely LOVE it!!!! Full of support, advice, tips, ideas, recipes etc :-) tracking your points or keeping a diary is a big help and this is the ideal place to do it :-) Big hugs Xxxxx :-)

They are 0PP!!!!! Well for one triangle anyway :-) Xxxxx

Been bad and not been to weigh in tonight...... Gained 3lbs last week and was pretty much on track till I had two days in the lakes after new year!!!! 1st day back on track and feeling motivated to work hard for next weeks weigh in which I definitely won't miss!!!! Only 13lbs to go till my...

Yep :-) Xx

Ooooh will be buying a paper this weekend then :-) Xxx

Honk for day 1!!!! Glad that I'm back on track :-) Xxxx

Honk for day 1!!!! Glad im back to normal :-) Xxxx

Course it is!!!! A lot of peeps have the entire. 49 all at once!!!! I'm always really cautious about using my weeklies as I panic I won't have enough left and then I don't flipping use them!!!! Keep going hun, at least your doing the right thing by pointing everything!!!! Xxxxx

Good luck :-) Xxxxx

I started the week it dropped to 26 and I find it great, was a bit wary because so many peeps seemed to panic but if I plan ahead I find it works for me..... Lost just under a stone in five weeks but put a bit on over Xmas which I totally expected!!!! Xxxx

Good luck!!!! Big bowl of fruit for brekkie and 0 PP soup for lunch is one of my tips..... Means I can have a big hearty tea with plenty of points left for a glass of vino or nibbles :-) There are lots of soup recipes on this website for you to check out too :-) If you feel peckish in the day...

Well I've just got back from two days in the lake district and we've eaten like royalty!!!! ( mine and boyfs little treat as we worked all of Xmas and New Year!!!) :-) Had a wonderful time but feeling good about getting back to business tomorrow, been to Asda so I'm stocked up on fruit and veg...

3lbs on.....was actually quite miffed but when I thought about it I probably had 5 days off plan which included chocolate galore and lots of drinkies so I've gotta take it on the chin and work my butt off to get rid of it again!!!! Working nights this coming weekend but me and the Boyf are...

Thanks :-) Xxxx

A lot of meetings might not be on tonight with it being in between Xmas and New Year......if you check around your area on the website there may be contact numbers so give the leader a ring :-) if not have a read up on the website and get yourself fully prepped for your first meeting next week...

I'm sure you won't have put that much on!!! Take it day by day and you will shift what you've put on!!! The sooner you get back on track the sooner it'll come off...... Granted it might take a while but at least you'll be heading in the right direction!!! Keep your chin up and keep going :-)...

I've got weigh in tomorrow and I'm dreading it :-( finally back on track today and just been to Asda to stock up on fruit and veg!!! Been to the gym and gonna go again tomorrow morning but I don't reckon that will be enough to combat what I've scoffed over the past four days!!!! Thankfully I'm...

Hiya :-) does anyone know the PP value of a fudge chocolate bar??? Don't have the nutritional info to hand as it was out of a selection box!!!! Thanks in advance :-) Xxxx

Let me know how you get on hun :-) off to asda in my break to stock up on fruit and veg for the coming week!!!! Fingers crossed for both our weigh ins tomorrow!!!! Xxxxx

Well so much for me getting back on it!!!! Had the most horrendous couple of days at work......kept on late, stuck at incidents so had no food all day and then binged on chocolate when I've eventually got home!!!! Soooo tired and annoyed about work and I've completely lost it with my food...

Had an ok couple of days, keep nibbling though but back on track tomorrow otherwise I'm gonna think 'sod it' and be bad till my weigh in on Thursday and if I have put on I want it to be minimal!!!! Gym on Thursday seen as though it's my only day off over the entire festive period, gggrrrrr :-(...

Only you can answer your own question!!! For me it's all about being focused and knowing what I really want from being on WW....... I know from personal experience that losing weight is the toughest thing I've ever done especially over Xmas!!! Nothing tastes as good as being the size you want...

Good luck!!! Xxxx

Well my Xmas day will be starting a bit differently as I'm working 7am till 3pm!!! Gonna have fruit for breakfast as normal but one of the girls on my shift is making bacon and sausage sarnies for Christmas brunch so would be rude not to!!! Then when I finish at 3pm I'll head straight to my...

Happy Christmas to everyone and their families :-) this website really is a lifeline do thankyou to everyone for your tips, hints, stories, recipes and most importantly support!!!! Here's to a great, SLIM 2012 :-) Xxxxxxxx

I lost 3lbs!!!!! Yeyyyyyy!!!! Spurred me on to be good over Xmas week :-) back to the gym first thing in the morning to counteract the munching I'll be doing on Xmas Day :-) Xxxxx

Hi folks :-) just found this thread so hopping on as a Thursday weigher!!! Lost 3lb this week, absolutely thrilled!!!! 9.5lbs lost in four weeks and only 10lbs till target!!!!! Really spurred me on to be good over the coming week......I'm working all of Xmas and New Year do alcohol won't be a...

Aaaaaaw thankyou :-) trying to resist the munchies at the mo......always happens the day before weigh in!!! Fingers crossed for a loss tomorrow :-) xxx

Despite the Xmas festivities I've been really good this week and seen as though I'm working a late shift today I was up early and at the gym for 9am only to be told they don't open till 11am because its Christmas!!!! How infuriating!!! To top it off I made my way home to have a go at shred only...

I'm having a weigh in on Thursday and then my class is having a weigh in next Thursday tea time which I'm really glad about as I didn't want to go two weeks without being wieghed so me and my mum will deof be waiting to step on the scales next week after our Xmas feast.......WW style of...

I currently do pro points, I changed to WW after being on SW for 10 weeks and not losing very much at all :-( however I've lost 6.5lbs in three weeks on pro points so I'm thrilled :-) I'm sticking with pro points as its working for me!!! I've also heard rave reviews about filling and...

It's nice to hear how other peeps are coping with the masses of lovely food about!!! :-) its been my Xmas weekend and had a lovely time, ate and drank in moderation but back to the task in hand tomorrow and cracking open the shred DVD!!! Working literally for 10 days solid over Xmas and New Year...

10lbs lost so far although don't feel like it!!! Quite a few bags of sugar though :-) Xxxx

Worst:- feeling absolutely RUBBISH in anything and everything I try on and constantly feeling upset and uncomftable :-( Xxx Best:- feeling great and confident in my old clothes that I couldn't get in a couple of months ago! Most importantly, actually feeling like me again!!! :-) Xxx

It's a miracle but I lost 1/2lb!!!!!!! Yeyyyy!!!! 13lbs off target, woop!!!!!! :-) Xxxxxx

My shred DVD should be arriving tomorrow!!!! Yey!!! Gym tonight to rectify my festive munching!!!! Really struggling but just about staying on track and clinging onto the WW wagon for dear life!!! Weigh in tomorrow and would LOVE a maintain but that might be wishful thinking, eeeeeek...

Well I've thankfully not thought "oh we'll I've had a good time so sod it" I've actually got back on track the morning after the night before.....I've just had quite a few nights out with more to come!!! As of Jan 1st I'm working and I've got no weekends off or nights out planned so I'm gonna be...

Hi there peeps :-) is anyone else finding it hard in the run up to Christmas??? Didn't think I'd be too bad but just changed jobs which is practically office hours..... Previously worked shifts so I now have plenty of weekends free, yey!!! Although I've been to Xmas do's galore with more to come...

Think I'm gonna invest in this shred business!!! Had weigh in tonight and was dreading it after a girls night on Fri.... Much vino consumed plus my naughty nibbling at the office buffet but managed to STS so I'm thrilled!!!! Gonna be a tough week though as having friends round tomorrow for...

Oooooh all this talk of booze!!!! So where can I get this shred DVD??? I'd be quite willing to have a bash at this!!!! Thanks in advance peeps!!!! :-) Xxxxx

What is shred???? Had the nibbles today at office Xmas buffet!!! :-( fingers crossed I've not ruined all my hard work for weigh in tomorrow!!! Went to the gym tonight and worked my tush off in a bid to counteract my nibbling of naughty foods today!!! Trying to lose weight at Xmas is soooooooo...

I know everyone is different but I did SW for 9 weeks and lost only 5.5lbs..... Switched to WW as I was so disheartened and lost 6lbs in my first week!!!!! I certainly know what works for me!!!!! Love love love WW as you defo reduce your portion size and massively reduce carbs intake compared to...

Thanks peeps :-) to say I was stunned is an understatement!!! Id be happy to just lose regularly every week even if it's half a lb but I'm mega chuffed to lose so much in a week!!!! Only 13.5lbs to go! Woop! Xxxx

1st weigh in tonight and I've lost 6lbs!!!!!! Wooooohooooo!!!! Absolutely thrilled and I'm under 12 stone for the first time in months :-) happy happy lady Xxxxx

My mum lost 3.5 stone and did absolutely no exercise!!!! However I love playing netball and I go the gym a minimum of twice a week despite working long stressful shifts but that's because I enjoy it and it makes me feel great :-) all about personal preference but it's great for toning and...

Hi Susie, just read through your thread and it's very inspiring!!! I would love a 2lb loss at TOTM!!!! I only joined last week and my first weigh in is on Thursday, sticking to pro points at the moment and praying for a loss this week :-) simply filling is something I'll defo try after getting...

Ive only just started WW after trying SW for nine weeks so sticking to pro points for the time being until I start losing regularly but simply filling confuses me as its very similar to SW??? It's something to think about for future reference but I'm anxious about getting things mixed up so...

Hiya :-) its my first weigh in this Thursday and I'm excited/anxious/nervous!!! Stuck to 26pp and felt hungry the first couple of days but now that I've got my head round it I'm absolutely fine!!! Praying and hoping for a loss after hardly losing on SW plus I've just started a new hectic post...

It really is personal preference as lots of people love WW and say it works and there's lots who will say the same about SW!!!!! So it can be very confusing all in all however I agree with the previous comments about portion control...... I kept maintaining so I cut down my carbs and portion...

Hi galaxy girl :-) yeah she did give me her mobile number! Hadn't even thought of that so I'm gonna ring her today to clarify :-) thanks very much Xxxx

Howdy just found this thread as a newbie to WW after trying SW...... Unhappy with my progress so here I am! Currently 12st 5.5lbs and my target is 11st :-) don't care how long it takes as long as I keep losing which wasn't happening on SW, kept maintaining and losing/putting on 1/2 here and...

Hello peeps :-) just joined tonight and the consultant said my daily allowance is 26pp...... Came home and registered with esource online, filled all my details in and it said my pp allowance should be 30pp???? I'm totally confused??? Is this because the new changes haven't been implemented on...

Just joined WW tonight after previously doing SW...... Lost 5.5lbs in 9 weeks and I had just completely lost confidence in it. I had previously lost 2 stone on WW before it changed to pro points but thought I'd give SW a try...... Didn't work for me but I know plenty who love it and theyve lost...

I've joined tonight on the monthly pass and it was £14.95....... That's for the 1st month and then it's £19.99 each month after...... Dunno about weekly payments, hope this helps :-) Xxxxxxx
