Can I join please? Bostik: (0lbs down, 5lbs to go) linzmain: (0lbs down, 7lbs to go) mummyoffour: (0lbs down, 10lbs to go) Clairexo123: (0lbs down, 5lbs to go) lauryloo: (0lbs down, 6lbs to go) Melissajayne: 7lbs (0lbs down, 7lbs to go) Clanger72: 5lbs (0lbs down, 5lbs to go)...

Thanks donzy - did you find that was enough to keep you going for a while? I suppose with bells the moves are pretty much the same just the weights change. I was just a bit unsure because I know the weight that comes with the dvd would be much too light for me now - I couldn't have said that...

Hi Everybody! It's brilliant to find so many people using kettlebells! I didn't know there was a whole section for swingers!!! I've been using kettlebells for a couple of years now, I do a class once a week using an 8kg bell for arm presses etc and a 12kg for double/single swings/squat and press...

You've made a massive difference! You're right to be proud of it Nothing like a photograph to give you a wake-up call!

I weighed on Tues morning - day after return from hol -and had 6lbs on in a fortnight. I thought it might be largely water so weighed again - normally only weigh once a week and nothing more - hallelujah 4lbs lighter today so was indeed mostly water. Aiming to have the other 2lbs off by middle...

Make sure you're kind to yourself starlight.

Weighed in yesterday - back from holiday the night before - and 6lbs on! I'm really hoping there's a lot of water retention in there because I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. Anyway I want 2lbs off by next week at least. I'm cutting out the wine, sticking to the plan. I've some exercise...

Home from holidays. I'm not going to pretend I was perfect but it was different to other holidays when I've thought aaaah f it and ate all round me. I did behave pretty well apart from the wine. I was surprised how often I thought of this thread! Regardless the target is set for beginning of...

Ha! It was him made me set the bloomin target and now I have to do it!

Lordy it's scary but it does focus the mind! No more faffing!

Ok so I've been an obedient little camper and have set a target date!!! YIKES! I don't think 11st 7 is the final target but I want to get there and see what it's like. I went to 10st 7 before and it was too light for me. I'm nervous about committing to it but it's the only way to go...

What about marinaded chicken thighs - don't have a proper name for them but they're good cold as well as hot. 12 chicken thigh fillets - not suggesting you eat them all! - with the fat trimmed off obviously!! Toss them in about 100ml soy sauce with a few cloves crushed garlic and a tablespoon or...

Lou, patchninja & sue - well done! Lou your before picture is me now - same weight and roughly same height Now I see what a difference it would make!

Look at the mess i made of that last post. Mucked up the quote thing completely. Sorry - bring back the quill pen I say, I can't cope...

excuses, excuses....were all great at these eh? so your tired and you cant be bothered to run a bath but you can be bothered to get up and down and snack all night? that wont get you where you want to be. a glass of wine is ok, if you have enough syns/cals left, you dont have to live on rabbit...

I'm back to account for myself! Going on holiday at the weekend and trying to get act together. I went off and weighed myself after a month of avoiding it to find I've basically stayed the same. I'm now 12st 7. Don't know why I was avoiding the scales I was just stressing about it and was...

Not a bit harsh! Thankyou! You're right about weighing before I go, if I don't I won't have anything to stop me since I wouldn't know where I'm starting. I didn't know the moules were free - that's lunch dealt with! Just stay away from the blasted bread. Can barbeque in the evenings because...

This thread is absolutely what I need! Large kicks to my lardy posterior please! I have been messing about for ages half-heartedly doing SW and expecting the weight to magically fall off and then surprised and dismayed when it doesn't?!? Haven't weighed myself for about a month. I'm going on...

I know I'm late but can I join please? I'd like to lose 6lbs in June

Well Done!! That's brilliant

STS for me this week - lucky that was all considering the weekend! I mess up every single weekend!! If I could beat the weekend I'd be at target in no time but eating out, not having meals planned, being on the run all day taxi-ing kids - not to mention the pesky wine... Any suggestions from you...

Forgot to update on Wednesday - another pound off this week. Won't be winning any speed prizes but it all adds up. Just need to navigate the weekend without falling on my face!!

I only lost a pound this week too but you're right a loss is a loss. Onward!!

1lb for me this week. Hoping for more next week but at least it's going in the right direction

Hooray 2lbs off! 8 to go.....

Can you add me in for 10lbs please? I'd really love a stone off but I'm trying to be realistic!

Takes a while for a response sometimes doesn't it? I think you're right to try to up the superfree a bit-1/3 each meal and it doesn't look like you're quite there unless you're eating an astonishing amount of mushrooms! It takes a while to adjust to the rules -Im still struggling with it, spent...

Can I join you please? I'm 12 9 and struggling a bit with having any faith that it can work for me - despite having lost half a stone on SW so far. Can't get it into my thick head that if it works for everyone else it'll work for me too. Trouble is if you don't believe it's going to work it's...

Sorry! I got confused and thought you were back to work yesterday! I think you can end up feeling strangely guilty for career plans made because of children. If you were resigning from your job to go to another one you wouldn't feel bad about giving a resignation date and sticking to it. I felt...

How was your first day back at work?

Hello again! I've sneaked off to SW but still lurking about here It's just trying to find what suits you isn't it? Hope your return to ww goes well for you I'm sure it will and it sounds like you need the flexibility By some miracle I had my first weighin at SW and lost 2.5! Asked about carrying...

There's 6.5 years between our eldest and youngest and I have to say its hectic! But the 4 of them are very close and it's great. They also argue constantly! Your age gap is even smaller. You are a brave woman indeed! But it will be truly fantastic and never ever dull!!

This is my 4th attempt to post! Don't know if you can carry syns so I'm going to ask tomorrow - certainly don't think they encourage it! I've struggled with it the last few days - felt a bit discouraged by overdoing it at the weekend and kind of gave up. My main problem is keeping my mind in the...

Sorry! Nearly missed you there! Welcome! I'd love to be in the 10's too but I've a way to go. Still - got to start somewhere! Good luck with it. Are you starting WW?

Mrs moose how's it going? Have you started yet? Could be just the thing to get you up and going. You seem to get fast results with it - good month to try it too when there's not so much going on when is your sister's wedding?

Wow! And again- Wow! Unfortunately I think I took your weight and put it on round my lumpy tum. It's not pirty..That's brilliant to lose over Christmas Well done

Yes I joined a class last Tues but I honestly don't think I've lost any weight at all. I had friends over at the weekend and I did a SW friendly curry but there's not much leeway on the plan for an evening like that so I ended up massively over my syns. Don't think I've really got the hang of it...

Hello m'dears! It's lovely to see you all back! I am taking a step sideways like you Mrs moose - dabbling with slimming world which I've always avoided before! I'm hoping you'll put up with me visiting though because I'd miss you all badly if I was banished to SW only! Ah the joys of a good...

Happy New Year! We've all gone very quiet haven't we!! Hopefully that means we've all had a good Christmas - even if not a good weightwatchers one!

Hope your wee one had a lovely birthday!

Happy Christmas everybody! Hope Santa brings all you've asked for!

That's absolutely brilliant news!:) Congratulations! I have 4 and it's busy but absolutely brilliant, wouldn't change a second of it. I'm really pleased for you, hope you sail through it - and if you do find you put on a little weight you may well find a few of us still here when you come back!

Yes well done that's fab! As for me oh dear oh dear oh dear! I've gone a bit off piste....

Oh dear! I've eaten so much today I feel a bit sick!

That's brilliant! Nothing like sausage and chips to help you maintain lol!

That's brilliant! There haven't been too many losing this week! Well done!

That big Santa is obviously sitting in your hall - no don't tell me different I won't believe it

That's funny! We had the tree in a playpen for a couple of years to stop wee ones climbing it. It was an interesting look.... Today's food: Skipped breakfast - bold girl Lunch - mixed salad leaves, grated carrot cherry tomatoes pine nuts and feta cheese with orange juice for dressing 7pp Tea -...

Good luck with weighin Say hello to the shred for me...

Well some days you need quite a bit of rubbish! Hope it was nice rubbish! You're doing fine, you're great at getting yourself back on track. And you did the shred. Being accountable on here has really helped me today. I know you're supposed to keep food diaries on a separate thread but I started...

My husband's fed up listening to me whine about many things - how much there is to do, how badly I'm juggling kids/work etc how fat I am! We really need to give ourselves a break!!! You're pre-menstrual so you probably do feel a bit rubbish but you're doing fine - better a pretend gain than a...

Look at all your Christmas jumpers! Mrs Moose I choose to believe that the sleigh is in your living room. Don't try to tell me anything else I won't believe it!

I'm so impressed by you doing the shred. Your Christmas must have been a bit different last year! At least you got out of cooking the dinner but it seems a bit drastic. Your night out sounds lovely, you have to make the most of these things when you get the chance!

I'd better dust off my shred too! Lunch on the run - so much for planning time! -m&s hot smoked salmon & potato salad Yum! 6pp so 9 used today Have to admit if I hadn't known I had to put it on here I'd have been in kfc drivethru! You're making me behave ladies!

This time of year is so hard! Glad you got going again yesterday! Exercise will come. Sorry peeps but I'm going to bore you with a blow by blow account of what I eat today to try to stay on track! Feel free to skip reading it! Breakfast toast and butter 3pp

Aargh! Had a pound and a half on - which realistically is a good outcome considering the weekend! Haven't had a great day though. I'm really struggling I haven't been awful but I haven't tracked either Don't know how to get my head in gear but I need to take responsibility for it. I'll track...

Sounds fair enough, especially if you try and be fairly healthy in what you do until then. You've got a lot on at the moment and concentrating on the healthy side of things might be a good way to look after yourself and get a bit of weight off as a wee bonus! This is truly a nightmare time of...

I think that's completely right. No matter how much I might wish it I'm not likely to do much except maintain - and to be honest to do that rather than put on half a stone will be a feat in itself. No point stressing - especially since stressing in my case usually leads to bingeing! Methods...

You're not failing terribly, you're just practising maintaining over the Christmas period before beginning your losses again in the New Year. Then when you get to goal you'll be an old hand at maintenance....At least that's how I was thinking about it until I put on 4.5 pounds in the last 2...

Hello ladies! Oh dear! Bit of a lost weekend! I was out Friday and Saturday nights. I'm too old for it.... Such a decrepit old codger that I'm delighted my Christmas outings are now officially done with! I'll be happy to see no more wine for oh probably a couple of days! Don't want to get too...

That's brilliant you're nearly halfway. I'm sure you see a big difference.

That's not so bad you'll have that gone in no time I think you're right about the 26 most days its the only way to limit the damage and still enjoy Christmas. I do find 26 fairly hard and may well go over some days but wil def try to keep under 29-after the weekend!

Good luck for weighin Sparkle! Nobody woke me up last night I almost feel human!

Oops! 9 green bottles sitting in the case.......apart from that good day

No failure there girl! Your baby needs you happy and healthy Give yourself a break, you're doing great - & thank goodness for good formula milk! I had to rear all my 4 on it and none of them have had a day off school through sickness. (had 4 c sections too - they're not as easy as the press...

Case of 12 bottles of wine arrived 2days ago....10 and a half bottles left!

You should try the dread shred 20 mins per day for 30 days and you'll be transformed-well so she says I haven't stuck it long enough to find out! I do think it makes a difference though

I reckon if you still have Baileys left you can't have been that bad at the weekend!

Good for you! I'd say you made the right choice. You inspired me to get the decorations on the tree tonight, I'm really glad its done so thanks for that!

well done! You deserve every pound off for just sticking at it Aaargh! Big promises from me for shred! Didn't do it today. I need to exercise to get more energy I don't want to exercise because I have no energy. Really need a big health kick but that needs energy and effort! Just makes you want...

Good girl! Im great at giving advice, not so good following it myself

Get off those scales! No more peeking until Friday and drink a lot of water! Think I've got back to English now thank goodness

The push ups are hard but I did imagine they made a difference. Im trying to keep away from the "oh whats the point now" attitude but Im struggling. Im really hoping things settle down a little bit in the next few weeks because at the moment I dont have enough time to devote to thinking about...

Mrs moose! Christmas has got you! I'm jealous of your decorated tree- I got mine on sat but still havent had time to decorate it so its just standing there looking green! Maybe tonight!

I know what you mean but then I go too far! I have to learn self-restraint!

No I think you'll have no real problem with it with all your crosstraining I'm still not doing well today Very tired as I was up with kids 3 times and I'm not used to that anymore. Think I've been eating for energy I'm going to try for an early night and get going again tomorrow I don't want to...

Hurray! Good for you! I'll do Jillian with you - not the cross-trainer though!! You're going to just love Jillian! I'll do day 1 tonight

That's definitely water! I do that too especially if I've been drinking/eating salty or fatty food. You'll be well and truly rid of that by Friday. Just try to keep going! Which is more than I'm managing...:rolleyes:

STS I should consider myself lucky looking at how bad I've been....

Thankyou for the good luck but I fear a miracle may be required!

I was ok today until I got to the big fat fish supper for tea...well actually I wasn't ok I wasn't really counting properly! And it's so cold!! Have to catch a grip. No-one else can do this for me. Not hopeful for weighin tomorrow but I need to just do it and move on To even have 3lbs off before...

Oh dear! I've just eaten a fish supper which gives a good picture of how my week's been....

I couldn't get into it yesterday either. Misbehaved badly but had a good day! I don't think I can really save this week but you probably can - you did really well last week. Good job you were a week early for the winter wonderland and not a week late!

Well done!

I messed up yesterday too! I was fine until the evening and then the wine and constant grazing got me! Another fresh start today! I should change my name on here to scarlett ohara! Your winter park sounds brilliant! Im sure the kids wil really love it. And if they don't you will! I firmly...

Yes it would be unseemly for a woman of my mature years to expose the midriff! A tiny price to pay for 4 kids anyway Trying to stay on plan til Tues really need to put the shred back in the dvd player.....

You're probably all right then! I could be in some kind of medical textbook for my stretchmarks -and oh the joys of the c sections! I've a stomach like lumpy porridge but sure I can put a jumper on it!

I think I was that weight when I was 20 - but only for about a month! That's the weight I'd really like to be for summer but it 2 stone away! I think I'll join the bikini babe challenge - though the chances of this stomach ever seeing daylight after 4 children is nada!

Wow! You are doing brilliantly! Don't leave us! Though it won't be long until you're in the 10s at this rate! That's fabulous I'm on my phone so can't see how much more you want to lose

I had a really hard rotten stressful day today. Work was pretty awful. I nearly caused an accident 3 times! I think really because I was so distracted but not like me - I'm a bit of a granny driver normally! I did start off with good intentions! Called to a cafe for lunch chose carefully despite...

That is shockingly brilliant! Well done! You must be sooooo pleased! That's a fantastic start

I think I might give it a whirl in the new year - hopefully will have a bit less going on by then so I could concentrate a bit! It does look v healthy and I like cooking so that wouldn't be the issue. I fear I might miss the crap that I pretend to myself I don't eat much of...the odd biscuit...

Mrs Moose! A loss after your big weekend! Well done! I've been wondering about simply filling too but I'm a bit worried in case it would be bland. Also worried that I'm not organised enough and too greedy!

Hope you enjoyed it! Straying for a day won't hurt and you've got an excellent reason! Tomorrow's another day!

Well done! That's brilliant

Ah its a cruel unfair world...

I'm supposed to be out on Sat night but I'm thinking of driving problem is I'll feel deprived and then might give myself too many treats to compensate! I like cooking too which is part of the reason we've ended up in this position Food hampers are a lovely idea esp if you know the kind of...

Hi there! Hope its ok to join you! I lost 3lbs this week so I'm really pleased. Going to stick to 26 during the week because I tend to wobble in a big way at the weekend and I think I need the wriggle room! Good luck to all of you!

Hooray! 3lbs off! I think sticking to 26pp thru the week worked for me because it gave me a bit more leeway at the weekend. I really want to do ok this week. I've been stuck for a while and I need to feel like im properly clear of the sticking point. Mrs moose you can freeze mince pies. You...

Can someone please add me for 5lbs. Ashamed to say I don't know how to add myself....:confused: :)

I do like the sound of it but I think my life's too haphazard for it. I would need to be better organised - though that definitely pays off no matter what way you're dieting! I think I'll look at it again. Do keep us posted on how its going for you

I completely agree. I had to change my weigh day from Monday to Tuesday because it takes my poor haggard body 2 days to get back to normal after the weekend. You can really feel the difference. Anyway its great you had a good weekend Mrs Moose, I'm sure you haven't done too much damage - and if...

Thankyou. You're very encouraging.

Welcome! How are you finding simply filling? I'm wondering if you need to be eating at home all the time to make it work? Can you eat out on it? I'm also wary of my immense eating abilities and greed!

RHi everybody Hope your weekend went well. I wasn't tooooooo bad.. I didn't track completely but I'm hopeful I've made some progress this week. Weighin tomorrow morning. Yikes! Spag bol for tea - need to avoid eating my own body weight in pasta! :)

You're doing brilliantly! I've lost a lot before but I've had real trouble getting motivated to do it this time. Hence now trying to lose baby weight when the baby is 3.5 years old! I was out for tea this evening though - just had main course, no starter or pudding - and I felt rotten in what I...

Welcome! Nice to cyber meet you too!:) I'm sure WW will work well for you

That sounds pretty brutal- but effective no doubt! Can you go away for the weekend armed with damage limitation snacks etc? For the hangover munchies? You've done so well this week it would be a shame not to get the full benefit

Thanks for that - sometimes you get stuck in a rut and its good to pick someone else's brain! Another pound off! Well done! All that crosstraining and 26 points after the weekend paid off! Brilliant! The good thing about that too is that you're getting nicely clear of the 12 mark I always think...

Well I've been gaining and losing the same few pounds for a while so it depends which week you get me on! I'm roughly halfway if you take the average! But yes I agree trying to get a grip before Christmas. I really want to see a decent loss this week but now im entering the valley of doom that...

Sounds lovely! I'm still labouring under the illusion that I'll be transformed by Christmas.... So far so good point wise today. I was wondering though what any of you use to bulk out your food or snack on? I need to do an internet shop and I reckon there are probably things I could be trying...

Shred again today for you and me then! If you're losing on 29 don't worry about 26. I'm trying 26 this week to try to make up ground for the weeks I've messed about. I'm also not that convinced that I really do lose much on 29 even if I stick to it and the demon drink doesn't get me. Though the...

That is amazing. Well done! Dominos is horrific there are points in the boxes and the air round it. Good luck for today

I've been pretty ok didn't get my shred done but points ok I'm surprised how fed up I am that I didn't get the shred done I must be getting addicted to exercise.....Awww that's hilarious! If you but knew me! The thought of me doing any exercise would make most people I know chortle!

I let the point go! Unbelievable! Surely that kind of self-denial means I'll lose a stone this week. It's all very well, I've no problem being good this part of the week, the problem is the weekend and the aftermath!

I was talking about the cardboard crackers not the nice sounding breakfast! That message came to me after I had sent mine So sorry my post looked really rude!

Mmmm...you wouldn't really spend all day looking forward to that would you? Still better than nothing! Can't have jaffa cakes in the house, I eat the box in one go each jaffa cake dismantled and eaten in its separate bits...not proud of that....

No not a lot - round of toast with banana mashed on it? I've 1 point left but I think I'll have to let it go because I can't think what to use it for!

Im sooooo hungry! I used up 4 points at breakfast and think I should have saved them for tonight. I couldn't care less about breakfast either but evenings are another matter! Think ill go back to a fruit breakfast. I've been overdoing it for a few days so bound to notice the difference anyway...

Welcome!

So far so good today 10 points used and I've done shred level 2 day 1 hope you're all doing ok!

Yep I'm doing the same this week 26 points and back on the shred Still going to use weeklies at the weekend if I need them but no big alcohol nights I may not be where I wanted to be by Christmas but I can still be in a better place than I am now! Think 26 is going to be tricky enough but we'll...

Sts I should be pleased but really I'm not I was hoping for a miracle! On the plus side I'm beginning to see a little daylight workwise so I'm going to take a wee bit of time this morning to do some planning. Also hav no plans for anything involving alcohol for next couple of weeks so that can...

I mean can't expect much Can't control my phone...

Thanks! I fear bad tidings! Haven't been gud today either so about expect much

Plenty of it in my house i may get even fatter on it

Hating the demon wine! Out 2 nights in a row last night was a 40th birthday -home at 4!!! Clearly too old for this! It was great fun and I wasn't apallingly drunk but soooo tired today I've eaten 3 bags of crisps various buns...the list goes on Going to have to live on dust until weighin on Tues...

Oh Mrs Moose! Don't you know Mr Bubbles is betrothed to a lovely lady? He's even wearing his mengagement ring apparently..I'm sure you'll have no trouble seeing her off! So your idea of taking it easy is looking after 5 children and worse taking them all to Dublin city centre....:D

WAYHAAAAAAAY! That's fabulous! I'm so pleased for you! Of course you're not going to stay there -you're going to keep going! That is truly fantastic!:D Well done - celebrate a little - but not too much!!;)

You're probably going to hav to do your own thing! It's tricky dealing with the inlaws at the best of times... Was that me said that? Surely not! good luck with it Keep us posted with how your days are going

Welcome! As Mrs moose says you're now in the cool gang! Which day do you weigh in?

You've maybe got some old bug. Anyway there's no point making it worse. Dizzy kickboxing doesn't sound a great plan..You must rest! Now if it were me I would interpret "Take it easy" as "eat a load of food including chocolate" but I'm sure you're made of sterner stuff than me :) Took a sneaky...

I thought it was just us did that! It just mysteriously vanishes....

Hello Ladies! Well done on losing Mrs Moose! Every little helps! Hope you're feeling a bit better. Definitely agree about the alcohol- well you know I do, I keep banging on about it! It is my downfall though, especially the next day. I would like to announce - drumroll please - I did day 4...

And can you leave shopping for the dress for a day or 2 and maybe take someone with you? I don't know about you but if I'm feeling the way you're describing I can turn a shopping trip into the most depressing experience of my life - and then I eat everything in sight!!

We've all done this! No point looking backwards, you'll only use it to beat yourself up, you're starting here! Maybe if you can make a plan for the next week? Sometimes I think to get started you need to think in the short-term like for the next week this is what I'm going to do to stick to the...

Thanks for those ideas - I could make a large bucket of something like that to save dailies on Fri and Sat and then consume a vat of it on Sun to stave off the hangover munchies!!! You're absolutely right about the Warburton wraps! A petition may be required! Did day 3 of Shred today. Lordy...

I agree it's extended birthday and anyway you've extra kiddiwinkles to try your patience! Start again tomorrow. But I think we should really go for it. A good week would set us up to keep going for Christmas. I have to say you're in trouble with Avoca food though it will be absolutely yum! You'd...

Aaaargh! Weighin this morning and I have 1.5 pounds on not really sure exactly how I've done that but prob just bad tracking Going to really get my head down and hopefully get a decent loss next week. Took measurements last night so hopefully if the scales don't help the measurements might. I'm...

I was bang on track today had eaten my points done my exercise - and now I've eaten 3 club biscuits 1 after the other! Oops!

Can't get warburton wraps here - so I'm completely convinced now that they're essential to me and will have to write to Tesco to get them to stock them!

Freezing here too Just makes you want to eat Didn't get up to do day 2 of shred this morning - was up with a wee sick chap during the night and couldn't face it BUT I feel v virtuous because I did it this evening! Def worse day 2! I'm really hoping it makes a difference

Thats a brilliant idea! Would be good for lunch too when not hungover! I don't have a sweet tooth at all but all things fatty or salty....

Well the dreaded shred arrived yesterday and I did it for the first time today so I'm feeling extremely virtuous. I found it hard enough especially at the beginning - the urge to lie on the sofa nearly overcame me. Strength wise I'm not too bad but cardio isn't good and I do so hate squats. It's...

You're doing really well Keep it up! I know what you mean about being 11 stone anything.It's a loooong time since I've been there.The pedometer is a good idea. I used to use it loads and I should still have 1 kicking about the house somewhere - I should look it out. Keep us posted about how...

Ah you poor soul! Forget the shred you moose! Just treat yourself with care and I hope you manage to have a good night tonight in spite of everything Bless you!

Yay! Well done! Enjoy your reward night!

I mean it! I'm chicken! Glad to hear you haven't opened it yet! we will get there though Have to say today has not been exemplary..... I've got the flames licking round my feet in work and thru pure stress and adrenaline I didn't eat between breakfast toast and 5:30 fishfingers and potato waffle...

Hola! Good luck with the weighin! I've done no exercise today - you're making me feel like I should get my finger out tomorrow I ordered the shred off amazon they emailed today to say its en route Gulp!! I'm a bit afraid....

Today so far: Toast 2pp Egg 2pp Mackerel 4 pp -been eating it for days the packet was enormous! I'm throwing the rest out Bread 4pp Ham 1pp Coleslaw 1pp 2 custard cream 4pp Pasta 4 pp Bolognese 5 pp

BRILLIANT! Well done we are the girls! it does make you feel more motivated for sure Hurry up Mrs moose!

Happy Birthday Mrs Moose!:)

That's fab! And it will work because youre sticking to it I've been faffing about trying to lose weight since the youngest was born but small success - haven't been focussed enough on it. When its gone well for me in the past its because I've taken it on like a project or a hobby. In the last...

That's brilliant! Youre doing really well and I do think the months after the babys born are the best time to lose it so long as you take care of yourself My Baby weight is now 3.5years old Think its time to let it go! Got up for Davina! Confess only did half as I was getting short on time The...

Another day eating on the run It's not exactly a nutritionists dream! French stick 4pp Butter 2pp Banana 0pp Crisps 4pp Mackerel 4pp Baked beans 2pp Toast 2pp More crisps 4pp Yes yet more crisps 4pp Choc chip cookies 4pp total 30pp which takes 1 from my weeklies Developing my own special diet...

Yaaay sparkle! that's great! Now no quitting anybody! Wonder does that mean I can hav a 4th bag of crisps..... Happy birthday Mrs moose! Are you doing anything nice?

I'm not exactly leaping from my bed to greet the day myself! It'll hav to be done though! I've eaten 3 bags of crisps today - pointed them but honestly! Sparkle I agree we need to hav you join in with something tomorrow What would suit you?

I'm working tomorrow too but if I get started on her by 7 I should be ok I'll just go to work with a purple face From what I hear 30 day shred is a load worse than Davina though so I reckon if you're doing that the least I can do is drag myself out of my pit! Aaaargh! Please don't let the 3 year...

That's a quarter of a stone so don't knock it! Need to go for it now before Christmas At least you're kickboxing I'm going to try to get up and do Davina tomorrow morning - as if I will but I like to pretend to myself!

Hurrah! Weighed today and am now 12st 9.5lbs Have lost 1st 1lb since I started this but its been so inconsistent and slow I really don't feel as if I believe in it if that makes any sense. I've gained and lost the same pounds so often that I expect to do it again. I'm really hoping if I can get...

Clearly not meant to be! Have an early night start again tomorrow!

Right here's today. Odd day as no time to eat properly and I don't feel as if I'be had a meal at all though I've had quite a lot. Crunchy nut corn flakes and milk 4pp Banana 0pp Smoked mackerel 8pp Toast & butter 3pp Apple 0pp Snack panini 4pp Chicken and cheese filling for panini 2pp 2 bourbon...

Thanks! Now I understand! Still don't get teams though!

So glad I'm not the only one! At least you're kickboxing I thought about the Davina dvd for half a second but that was all Pity there's no activity points for good intentions! I'd be sooooo thin I'm sticking to the no wine of an evening as my change

Sorry I don't know either! And I don't understand how teams work

Thanks I'll give them a go - mine were bit soggy and still strangely burnt in places... But at zero points def worth trying again!

Butternut squash chips done in the oven - first time I've tried them and they weren't great but there are loads of people raving about them on here Think I maybe did them wrong!

Wow! Well done!

Mollydog I'm liking you throwing the plates out A fairly radical dieting strategy to chuck out all the crockery but I suppose I can't say much with my knitting needles clicking away! Lol!

I dug out the knitting! You know you really can't eat and knit at the same time! Who knew?? It might keep me from grazing all evening every evening I stayed under points today - and no wine We will see - though the end product isn't likely to be all that pretty I'm not much of a knitter! On the...

Had bag of crisps at 4pp so slightly under points today. Weigh in Tues

I think I need to start this diary to keep myself motivated - I tend to do well for a few days then lose my way. :mad: So now I'm going to use this to stop me misbehaving! Today:- toast and butter 3pp omelette with- 3 eggs 5pp peppers 0pp prawns 1pp coleslaw 1pp 2 kiwi 0pp slim a soup...

This is not only going to sort my massive wine belly but also all my Christmas presents! I'll look into the loopa! I'm due to weigh tomorrow but hav decided to leave it until Tuesday because of all my bad behaviour. I feel too bloated. ww def will give you the freedom to eat more of what you...

I get so cross with myself! I started the week brilliantly. Loads of exercise sticking to points and then the slippery slope began and I've wrecked my hard work Just hav to start again but this time NO MORE WINE! Muffled sobs...

Mollydog I was only half-joking about the knitting! I started one of those scarves last year in the bobbly wool that does all the work of the fancy effect for you! I think I need to dig it out again.... my sisters a brilliant knitter I'm pretty rubbish but those scarves don't need any skill If I...

Yeah it went a bit wrong for me last night too and I was just at home with a couple of friends who called in so it was lazy drinking really and just dumb So now today I've got the guilts and feel crap! So there you go I'm now going to lead a clean and wholesome life wearing a hair shirt and...

My change is going to be no alcohol at all this week It's def holding me back I have a glass of wine of an evening after the kids have gone to bed then I think a few wee water biscuits arent going to do much harm and then I think another wee half glass.....I'm using up my weeklies too early in...

Lordy at this rate don't hold your breath for me turning up! No that's no good we'll all get there!

Well done you! That's fab! Hope to catch you up!

I know it's not very glam but I find it makes a huge difference if I've planned ahead and know what I'm going to be eating. Also work out what your emergency foods are - for times you need a chocolate fix or some kind of crisps or just something to keep you going like fruit or soup. Have to...

I think that's the key - move lots less time to eat Good luck with it The scales helpfully told me yesterday that I'd put on 3lbs - from 1 bad weekend I could do weight gain as an Olympic sport....

Mrs moose you've made me feel better! At least you hadn't eaten the whole burger and chips! I'm back on the wagon now though Dusted off Davina yesterday & she hurt me v badly yesterday and today Off the demon drink- mostly - as it leads me to bad and evil ways

Nightmare! Halloween party last night ate and drank far too much absolutely wrecked today and have eaten everything I've seen since I got up Weigh in tomorrow morning and I'll probably have put on a stone What was I thinking??!! if I had even stopped at last night but no I've been like a pig in...

It's clearly not 7lbs is it?? I would just like to be able to see every pound coming off! If you could see that you wouldn't need any other motivation but its the slogging on and on and seeing no benefit.....it'll come eventually! Keep the faith!

Now thats reassuring! I thought I was a freak! Its hard work though - It would be so much more encouraging if you could SEE results! You have me convinced though that eventually it will pay off I must have lost the weight from my neck or something.........:)

I know its supposed to be 7lbs but I've lost nearly a stone and I'm the same size! Admittedly I was being sliced in two by my jeans and I'm not any more but still!

Can I join in please? Im 12st 11 now started at13st 9 but have been mucking about and not making progress I would so love to be in the 11s for christmas Weighin Mon morning Good luck to everybody!

I'm a Monday weigher Can I join please? 1lb off this week - miraculous given behaviour at weekend! 2 more pounds and I've lost a stone then a stone and a half to go..........
