Hey everyone, So i put a pound on this week - but its my monthly and I did go out for tea last night - so i think i can see why! Back to it tomorrow. Hey to Gail, Kay, Lisa and Rosie - where are you ladies? How are you getting on?? Emms xx

I've done my first day back on WW today and am stuffed and still have 9 points to go!!! Feeling more optimistic. Good luck Gail! Emms xx

Hey there, i started at slimming world 2 weeks ago - and I hate the diet - so I'm coming back to WW as I lost 3 stone on WW last year (and have put it all back on). So I'm back on WW in the morning and weighed in at 21st 3lbs last week at SW. So I'm hoping to get under 21st in the next few...

Well said Gail - I think we are all in the same position! I'm starting again tomorrow on weightwatchers. Lets see what we can do in the next 6 weeks!! Emms xx

Hey Kay - I'm right there with you. I've put all my weight back on. I joined slimming worl two weeks ago and lost 3.5lbs on week one, and 1lb on week two. I've been really ticked off by the crappy class and the crappy leader so i've blown this week and had take out four nights running. I'm...

Actually - just realised its 3.5lbs for me this week. Sorry - but not got much faith in the golden oldies running my class. Also last week scales were on the wooden floor, this week on a dodgy carpet - so i feel a bit short changed. But still a loss!

3lbs off for me tonight. Woop.

3lbs off tonight - first week weigh in. Hoped for more as home scales said 6.5lb loss, but not to worry - it'll all show up in the end. well done for all the losses and STS. EnchantedJen - don;t worry - tomorrow is the start of another week! Emms x

Good luck for your weigh in today Craig A! 13st loss is amazing! My first weigh in tonight - so hoping for at least 3lbs. Emms x

Hey Lisa, Well done for going and doing exercise in public - I'd hate that - I'd be huffing and puffing like a steam train! At least with the swimming - once I'm in the water all you can see is my head! LOL Hope you're back feels better soon. I've been good todat as well as its my first...

Had two breakfasts this morning. Had porridge at 7am (25gms oats, 200ml ss milk). Went swimming and just got back (9.40) and am starving so am about to tuck into grilled bacon and scrambled eggs!!

Feeling much better today. Been swimming again this morning. I am going three times a week and so far have managed to build up from 10/12/16 lengths. Had a sneaky weigh in on saturday and had lost 4lbs so am hoping for this loss tomorrow night at my weigh in. Emms x

Hey Jess and Largerthanmost - thanks for replies! I am feeling a little better and had a sneaky weigh in at home this morning and have lost 4lbs! so am dead chuffed. I've experimented a bit with foods this weekend and made a really lovely spicy veg soup which is all free and have filled up on...

Hey Lisa! So glad that there's a familiar face on here! You're right - i do know that i can do it - and have been swimming twice so far, and on my scales I've lost 4lbs since Tuesday last week. So Rosemary Connolly - you'll have to let me know how it goes, Don;t you have to do exercise at that...

Hey jess, Just read through your thread and am insprired by your willpower. Well done on your success so far. I'm on my first week of SW and am not sure that it is working for me. Don;t feel any thinner and feel really down. Ah well - sticking to it. What are SW crisps?? Emms.

Hey there, I am trying the slimming world diet after doing weightwatchers for a year. I lost 2 stone on ww and then put it back on very quickly when started eating in my old ways again. This time I've started doing some exercise as well this time. I bought a swim pass at the local pool and am...

I love to know what my fellow SW peeps are having for tea - I like to nick your ideas!! Tea for me tonight is: Roast potatoes, parsnips and carrots with garlic and fresh rosemary and lots of salt and pepper and a tspn of olive oil rubbed on. And a chicken breast wrapped in bacon!! Yum :)

Hey everyone, I'm joining my local SW class tonight. Got a long journey ahead of me, but to give me a boost, I've been to my local leisure centre today and bought a months swim pass. Going to swim lengths on the early bird on M/W/F mornings before work!! Yikes, I'm over 21 stone and a bit...

Hi There, I'm going to join SW on Tuesday this week. I started WW this time last year at 21st 10lbs and got down to 19st 5lbs, then got ill, fed up and started eating again - put it all back on and am back up to 21st 7lbs. Can't believe how easy it is to put it back on. So starting again this...

Hey ladies, Been thinking about getting back on the plan - I'm almost back up to my start weight from last November. Got to start doing something again - I am eating for england at the moment. If there was an olympic medal for overeating I would win Gold every day! Some inspiring posts on here...

Hey all, Had my first week back at ww and stayed the same! I was really good up until friday and then the floods hit us (west wales) on saturday and then the diet went completely out of the window!! Its taken me over a week to get my appetite under control - but I'm almost there. Hope...

Hey ladies! Kay - I totally understand. I get to the point where i tell myself that I'm a grown up and no one can tell me what to eat. If i want to melt 3 mars bars and mix in rice crispies and eat it warm from the pan then I will!! But you know what - It doesn't make me feel good - apart from...

Hey ladies, Hows it going? Carly and Rosie some good losses - no worries about the half pound weight gain rosie - easily lost again! Hey Kay - nice to see you posting - no worries about being on the dark side LOL!! At least you are trying something. I on the other hand am totally overeating...

Hey Ladies, Thought I might join you as my next goal is to get out of the 19's and down into the 18's. I started in Oct/Nov last year and have lost 32.5lbs so far. Currently at 19st 5.5lbs or 271.5lbs - I find if I count in pounds rather than stones it means i have smaller 10lb goals to...

Small update for this thread, I've had a few weeks of gains. 3 weeks ago I weighed at home and gained 3lbs, so went to class but didn't weigh in - big mistake. 2 weeks ago I weighed in at class with a gain of 1.5lbs. so at least down 1.5lbs from the week before! 1 week ago I weighed in at...

Hey all, Some good losses on here lately! Well done you guys! :D I am back in the right frame of mind and have stuck to the diet pretty much this week. I did bake cupcakes on Saturday and ate three - but counted them in my weeklies!! I intend on devouring the last three after weigh in...

Hey Ruth, My hubbie has type 2 diabetes, diagnosed in 2009 and he has lost 3 and a half stone since then and he's doing much better - still has to keep a watch on what he eats, and has his eyes and feet checked regularly but manages fine. Its a pain though to keep remembering what you can...

Hey all, Hope you're having a good Saturday! I've had a fairly weird day. Got up this morning after not sleeping too well and felt really miserable this morning, didn't know what to do with myself so decided to go for a walk and hubbie offered to come with me, so we went to the beach and...

Gail - I think you are mistaking me for gwen lol!! Hope everyone is having a good Friday - I have been for a walk - 2.09miles! Phew the start of my training for the race for life!! Emms x

Same here yummy Mummy - I've lost an average two year old too (27.5lbs). Now where did I put that child....lol Emms x

Thanks Gwen, Had a long chat with my mum this afternoon - which is what mums are for! and we worked out what is getting me down - I have two friends who used to be best friends who have fallen out - or should I say one is refusing to speak to the other and I am slap bang in the middle, and the...

Hi all, Been off the grid for a few days. Had a couple of bad days, feeling down, not quite sure why, and so have turned to food! I think its work getting me down and my mum and day are going back to yorkshire on thursday and I'm going to miss them. Its been nice having them down the road for...

That is a high weight loss Ruth - well done - but are you eating enough honey? Especially as you keep fainting? Make sure you are fueling your body enough....*worried* we can't have you fainting every 5 minutes....or is it a ploy to get a man, you know swooning and all that??? LOL Gail - so...

Morgan! Hey you - glad you're back - I was starting to get a bit worried!! I've had a couple of weeks of not tracking properly and only losing half a pound, but I went back to a week when I had lost 3lbs and followed what I had eaten and hey presto I lost 2.5lbs this week. Sooo glad you're...

Nice one Gwen - I missed loads of peeps!! I meant what Gwen typed...lol Emms x

Hey nice one Gwen!! Well done honey. Gail - at least you enjoyed the day - you can always put it behind you and start again! Ruth - Hope blood tests go okay. Not had a great day at work again - boss has been okay - just realised that I am stressing as my workload has doubled and is still...

Started this thread more as a fitness thing rather than a sponsor ship thing. Didn't think about the sponsorship thing to be honest - just super chuffed that I've lost enough weight to allow me to take part this year. Emms x

Hey Gwen and Gail - Hope you guys are hanging in there!! Make some sugar free jelly or some zero point soup to keep you going! Rosie - I'm sure you'll be fine - even if you have a STS you'll lose the week after. Although we get weighed weekly I average it out over a month before getting...

6lbs!!! That's outstanding James!! Well done you. Emms xx

Hey Ruth, I had fruit and yogurt so didn't eat all my points yesterday - oh well. Yes my weigh in is tonight so I am hoping and praying for a 3lb loss which will bring me to 2 stone loss in total!! I think the exercise I've done whilst being off work is having some effect and I started to...

Hey there, so sorry you've had a bad experience. I've had good and bad leaders at Ww. But this time round I've got a nice leader who you can ask anything of - but i don;t stay to class as the talks are not very good. She tries really hard but is a bit timid and some of the other ladies ( i use...

I'd agree with Jambo. I also have a very sweet tooth. I used to bake cupcakes every weekend - so have had to make some major adjustments. I also have a meringue with strawberries and a tablespoon of elmlea for 2pps. I also buy the weight watchers mallows from the pound shop - 6 in a pack - they...

Hello! Where is everyone? Made a nice chicken dinner for tea tonight. Very scrummy. Got 11points left to use tonight though. Hmmmm what to have? Hope everyone is okay!! Emms x

Hey Cookie, Thanks for posting your journey. You have done amazing! And thanks for posting the pics of loose skin - its like the 'unspoken' thing when losing weight! I started three months ago and have almost lost 2stone. Its coming off slowly but I guess that's the best way as its taken me...

Hey all, Ruth - Well done on the loss, hope you feel better soon. Gail - Don't you dare pack this in! You just need to give it another week. We need you and you need us - it will be weird without you here. All the exercise will have adjusted your body's reaction to the diet. I bet you have a...

Hey there Lucky, Welcome! I've been doing Ww for 14 weeks now and have lost 25lbs. I find on the weeks where I eat all my weeklies I lose more weight. Its a fine balance to feed your body enough fuel to make the weight loss happen. Keep up the good work. Emms x

Hey louise, How are you doing? I'm at 25lbs now and am moving in the right direction. :D I've started doing much more exercise as well, Badminton on a Monday and Just Dance Wii game every day. It all helps. Hope you're doing okay honey. Emms x

Hey Rosie, I've got the 30 day shred as well but haven't done it yet? How are you finding it? A friend recently lent me the biggest loser game for wii as well - might have a crack at that this afternoon. Emms x

Hey all! Hope everyone is having a good week. I just wanted to share that I've just got on the scales this morning and I'm down to 275lbs!! (I was 279lbs at WI on Mon) So chuffed as I've only lost a pound in the past two weeks. I'm almost at my 10% goal!! Need to get my backside of the couch...

Hey there, Why don't you think that Ww is for you? It can fit most lifestyles - just takes a bit of prep. I find I can work the diet around most situations, you just have to find the things you like to eat and substitute the unhealthy bits for healthy ones. Happy to give you some tips on...

Another half pound this week... that's 10lbs in 2012 so far...25lbs in total. Emms x Monday WI (8 left) Bugsbunny2000: 14lbs (4.5lbs lost, 9.5lbs to go) [need 1.19lbs a week] Emmaholl: 20lbs (10lbs lost, 10lbs to go) [need 1.32lbs a week] Morgenmuffel: 19.85lbs [9kg] (0.89lbs [0.4kgs] lost...

Lisa - Well done on the loss - that's fantastic! So sorry you're having to cope with the stuff around your gran. Hope you get it sorted! Be thinking of you. Emms xx

Hope youre okay honey - I had a day like that yesterday. Sending you big hugs. Emms x

Hey guys, Thanks for the support. Not had too bad a day today and the boss was pussy-footing around me and kept asking me how I was - kn*bhead! Still at least I got back on the diet today. I was going to go to circuits tonight with hubbie but he had a bad day at work today so was in a foul...

I could cry. Had a totally crap day and then some. My boss totally let me down today and made me feel like I was about an inch tall and not worth the dirt on the ground. I came home (without speaking to him) and went to the pizzaria in town and had garlic bread and a huge peperonni pizza. Then...

Well done James - you are an inspiration! That is a massive amount of weight to lose in one year. If I could lose that much I'd be at my goal weight...makes me realize it can be done - thanks for that James. Emms x

Hey all! Lisa - glad your results were normal! Carly - Oh er - a flirty boss - you know what they say "never dip your nib in the office ink!" Gail - I have days like that too - all bread! Ah well tomorrow is another day - and you can still point it. Ruth - Hope the WI day switch brings you...

As daft as it seems sometimes having a day when you eat more than you should and satisfy that craving can be a good thing as it confuses your body who thinks 'whey I'm getting loads of food - lets shed a few more pounds' this has happened to me, after a weekend at a friends wedding I ate...

Hey James - thanks for the reply. I do feel a bit better and am off to the gym with OH this afternoon. But went out for lunch with parents who are visiting from Yorkshire and had a very good roast dinner with loads of veg and then a big piece of white chocolate cheesecake! Couldn't resist. Ah...

You guys are so good! I usually go to the indian with my hubby for a chicken tikka masala and naan bread then come home and have a big bag of maltesers! To be honest I can't eat the whole bag anymore - only manage half. I hardly eat anything during the day though on Mondays leading up to my...

Hey James, How you doing? Can I ask what keeps you motivated to keep going? I've only been at this for three months and am having a bit of a downer this week and my will power is slipping. I still have the goal in my head, but I think cos I've lost weight ever week Ive got a bit complacent...

Hey all, Where is everyone? Living real life I guess. Hope you are all having a good Saturday. I went for tea and mum and dads last night and was fairly good - i said not to wine, cake and only had 2 squares of the huge bar of dairy milk dad got out after dinner! I could eat everything in the...

Hey ladies, Lots of posts on here the last day or so. Carly - Congrats honey on the PGCE - well done for gym stuff too. Fingers crossed for your exam. Monica - totally understand you when you said you had a crap day - that's me today. But you just have to brush it off and start a fresh...

Lisa - bless you for checking my points! I don't eat ww bread, like a puff o' wind it is lass! I have 'man bread' (said with deep voice) Warburtons toastie loaf!! If you're gonna point it might as well have something you like. LOL Not quite sure what happened there - a bit o' yorkshire came...

Even my hubby thought this was hilarious! Emms x

Well done all for the losses! I lost 1lb tonight - not bad considering I had a huge curry yesterday, started my TOTM today and did 40 mins of badminton just before weighing in! Emms xx

Good luck for everyone weighing in tonight! Well done to those already posting losses and STS!! Emms x

Bread does that sometimes as well - 2pps per slice but 5pps if you have two slices. Freaks me out a bit - I'd eat them separately if I thought I could save a point - LOL. I'm off to play badminton again tonight before weigh in - do you think this might mess up my weigh in? Emms x

Hi there, I have a sticker chart on my fridge with 133lbs (my goal weight) to 304lbs (my starting weight) in increments of 10 - these are my mini goals! I put a stick over the number each time I lose a pound! Something about the inner child in me responds to getting a sticker (or two) each...

Hi There! I'm on 39 points a day and rarely use my weeklies. Although I have noticed a pattern over the past 13 weeks that if I do regular exercise every day over the week I gain weight and this is because I haven't eaten enough. So If you are exercising then I would suggest using your weeklies...

Hey there! Good luck with the weight loss! WW is a fab plan. I too had a OMG I'm almost 40 and need to lose this weight moment. I'm 39 this year (April) so have given myself a year and a half to lose 10 stone. I love WW as I can eat anything I like as long as I point it. Emms x

Hey there I too think that this 'diet' is fantastic. I had a complete blow out last weekend at a family wedding and expected to gain and I lost 2lbs - i love the fact that you can eat a variety and loads of it too - I have found after 13 weeks that I am making better choices about what to eat...

Hey there! I'm here - been bad today - I think sometimes I avoid posting when I've been bad!! Got invited out for lunch after Church today and went to the Indian buffet!! Counted about 32 points in total and said no to some things too! Not had any weeklies yet this week so its okay really -...

Morning guys, Just been reading through the posts and I have been on levothyroxine for about 12 months now. I wasn't cold (although I am now) or had dry skin, but was always tired, brittle nails and the doc did a blood test and I was borderline at first, then 3 months later they started me on...

Hey all Monica I'm off work today with a bug - must be catching! but having been good all day I've fallen off the wagon tonight - I was feeling a little better but couldn't be bothered cooking so got a takeaway curry and naan bread - figured might sort me out!! Then have attacked a large bag...

Sounds like your scales are broken honey! Although it depends if you've got them on something like carpet or soft lino - mine are on lino and if i move them from the normal spot they give wildly different answers!! If you want to be really sure, i would suggest going to boots or something and...

Hi Honey, This is going to come out wrong but....you can so totally do teaching- you are clever you're a lawyer goodness sake! My husband has worked in schools for the past 8 years (hes in IT) and I can assure you that most teachers are a bit thick! They are! He's had Maths professors asking...

Hi guys, I'm definitely going to try the maggi thingies. sound yummy. I'm knackered - just got back from 40 mins of badminton, I thought that was a relatively calm sport - oh no - i'm knackered!!

Morning James How's it going today? Been on the bike yet or out for a walk? I went out to defrost the car this morning and swear I almost got frostbite! I'm supposed to be going to circuits for the first time on Wednesday evening - but am terrified after watching the Monday night lot at it...

Hey - massive well done you! This is really interesting as I find on the weeks i do exercise I sts or gain and CarlyLanky has mentioned that this could be cos I'm not eating all my weeklies or dailies. I average at about 35pps a day - I'm supposed to have 39 plus my 49 weeklies! I'm never going...

I love this post too James! You are an inspiration. Hope you're having a good weekend! Emms x

I did - T'was yummy :D. I don't really eat my weeklies unless I'm off out for a special night out- I have between 33 and 39pps a day. My limit is 39 a day but I don't always eat them. Tiny little pot - 100ml. But it was just enough! I never used to be like this and that's how I got to...

Kay - I would go for 4pps as well. Well just been to coop for some pop and groceries and you should have seen us! My hubby fancied some cake so we were stood in the cake aisle with his iPhone out pointing up all the cakes! It works though as the one he wanted was 21pps for half the cake - so...

hi James, What was your NY resolution? I broke mine pretty early as well as i promised myself i would log in my diary every day and forgot on the 2/3 jan! At least you've lost weight that's the main thing!! Its good to give your body a rest - mix things up a bit keeps it guessing! Emms xx

Oh no! Not to worry you can get that off this week. I always think that if is a gain over a week or two its not really taken hold yet so it'll shift easy! Well done you for starting again! Emms xx

Its definitely a plus in the weight and bank balance department!! Emms x Oh and what does pmsl mean?

Oh No! I hope he's alright - toothache is the worst. We're lucky living in a little village that the dentist receptionist is really lovely - apart from when you are trying to avoid going and she spots you in the queue at Coop and tells you that she'll book you in and text you the appointment...

2nd, 3rd & 4th January 2012 4 days gone/361 days to go So okay - not doing too well on the new years resolutions so far as i haven;t updated this diary for the past 2 days! Ah well here goes: Completely overdid the points on Monday but as I weighed in first thing and had lost 2lbs kind of...

Hey all, hope you're having a good Tuesday. I go back to work tomorrow so to give me a boost I've dyed my hair red. I've uploaded a new avatar picture of me this afternoon - but you can't really tell how red it is. I just need a new cut now and that is my treat for being good over Xmas! You...

Well done James. :D:D I am sat on the couch looking out of the patio door trying to get my self up to walk into town. Too lazy today - back to work tomorrow - will be walking to work (if its not raining!) I'm thinking it would be a good idea to have a bike too - at least then I can't use the...

Hey Michelle, I'm not sure that I could resist in your position but one thing i have done before with food that i love that is bad for me is...aversion therapy! Put some of the crisps in a bowl and mix them with something gross.... sweep the floor and put the dust in the bowl and then take a...

Hey Kay, Loved your last post about sport.... I actually live in Machynlleth - pronounced ma-kun-cleth. Aberystwyth is my main shopping town and is 21 miles away on the coast - takes about 30 mins to drive there. Nearest supermarket is Morrisons in Aberystwyth. Only got a Coop in Mach! If you...

I didn't have the fish soup in the end as there wasn't enough fish for two - according to my hubbie - it looked and smelled nice though. I had steak with onions and ww chips - YUM. I feel that I should clarify - especially given your reaction - that is an old picture of me from about 8 years...

Hey all, I am definitely a WeMITT. I'm 38, done every diet under the sun, some successfully for a while (3 months is my limit so far) and then have put it all back on again and more. I'm on weight watchers now and am finding that its easy to make different choices and stick to the plan. I'm...

Thanks for the info Michelle - i am so chuffed for you! I can't imagine being in a size 16 never mind a 10/12! I have started a few of the ideas you have suggested already with smaller goals of 10lbs at a time. :D Did you feel at the beginning that nothing would change? That's my biggest fear...

I know some of the things on this thread are sad and have made us feel bad in the past, but sometimes i think if you realize that it isn't just you that feels that way - you don't feel quite so bad and on top of that we are all doing something to change ourselves so that we can have the things...

MM - Try dried apricots - they work a treat for me!! Gail - Love the new profile name!! LOL Would you like to know how sad I am? I have planned each day until the next weigh in day with what exercise I will do each day and what I plan to eat and have shopped it and got everything ready! I...

Hi all, Just found this thread and feel I'm a bit late to join but - here's my goal for December: -8lbs. Already lost 6lbs this month and have one more WI to go on Monday night then no WI until the new year. Well done everyone for your losses! :D Emms xx azwethinkweiz - STS (-1lb, STS, -0.5lb)...

How is everyone's Saturday going so far then? I've been to town, but had breakfast before I went and had a hot beef sandwich wandering around - but only ate half and gave the rest to my OH. Made a zero point soup this afternoon to keep the hunger at bay and am having pork steaks with jacket...

Been too tired to play on the wii tonight. Will have a go tomorrow. Not much this weekend other than the usual - washing, cleaning etc. Boring housewife stuff. Got to go to Aberystwyth with my hubbie for an eye test tomorrow - so might have a nice brisk walk on the beach front. I've worked...

Well done you! Stew sounds yum. I received my new Just Dance 3 game for the Wii last night and had a go - I was knackered after 4 songs and the damn thing kept telling me I was lazy!! :rolleyes: Going to have to keep going to build my stamina up a bit. Hope you're having a good day! Emms x

Hey all - I've had an idea! :D How about doing a personalized T-shirt/Hoodie with 'OSAaT Challenge!' in pink glitter text on it! We could all have one and wear it when we meet up next year. I'd rather have a zip up hoodie but can't find a website that will do one in my size :(! I've found a...

Oh No! Hope you feel better soon Ashclow! Have you got anyone to pamper you whilst you're poorly? I once had flu for three weeks and was so poorly that my hubbie was making me two drinks at a time to keep my throat from being so painful!! *Big sympathy hugs* Emms x

Couldn't have done it without your support guys!! Emms xx

Sorry to harp on after the essay i posted a minute ago - but do you know what I just realised! I've been saying for weeks now that I need to lose 10 stone, and guess what I only need to lose 8 stone 11lbs now - I've already lost 1 stone 3lbs! :D:D:D Talk about a moment of revelation!! Sorry...

How sweet is that story! I have a similar story. I lived alone - no boyfriend, thought I was on the shelf (was 30) and got burgled. In my shock / recovery of this (my nan's Ladro ballerinas were stolen) i found anew house in the next town, moved job and church all in the same weekend - and met...

Hey there Emma, I would agree with MissSLinky, Xmas is a terrible time to diet, there's always a sneaky mince pie floating around at work somewhere (near my desk anyway) and goodies on offer everywhere. Well done on the loss this week though! I bought my self a tracker book two weeks ago...

[SIZE=2] Hey - Nice one James :D. You are motivating me! - I might start my C25K this week - but then we've just had snow forecast for tomorrow - Eeek! I am lucky that I live in a lovely little welsh FLAT village. So I can walk up and down the main street to work and back home really easily...

Totally agree with this MM. Kay - you need to still come and visit us on here even if you're not doing Propoints - you might feel more up to it in a couple of weeks once Xmas day is over with! Same here - Do you know I check this thread and website more than my FB now. Getting rather bored of...
