    I just did day 3. I am on such a good buzz atm so lets hope it lasts into the weekend! Lulu initially it might be. It would depend on what type of stuff you are doing at the gym. If you are going in the morning then you might be able to fit in 30DS after work.

    Hi guys, so after much decision I decided to go and get my WI out of the way last night.

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    You are spot on there. My leader told me when I first joined that because I was a student and more likely to struggle with the temptations of college, that I should look at my total weight loss every 4 weeks. I could lose a total of 5lbs in 4 weeks but have had a gain or a sts one of those...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Thanks Suzanne and Lee. If I can lose then we all can. Its a matter of staying focused, tracking and being honest. Haha no Lee thank God I'm not actually up the duff! My surname is Duffy so my friends call me up the duff as a joke so I have used it as my screen name on websites for years...

    I have my first WI tomorrow since starting back. I was so good all week and then today I kinda blew it :mad: I've a bad cold and its my TOTM so this evening I went about 5 points over which isn't too bad given I did a good hour and half walk yesterday. I'm hoping to still be even down a lb...

    Starting AGAIN!!!! Need Christmas countdown buddies :)

    Hey guys! Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I've been a bit awol the last few weeks because of exams which are finally over. Between exams and Christmas I've done done some serious damage. It needs to be put under control so as of now I'm starting afresh. I've just done out my mini goals and...

    Well done Suzanne on your loss :) Its been a very long time since I've had a loss like that! Karen a lb is really good given you were at a party. I sts but tbh its a miracle I wasn't up. I've had the most stressful few days studying for the exam today and food thoughts went out the window. 1...

    Upset by leader

    That's awful. I know when I was stuck my leader asked me to bring in my tracker and she went through it. A few things that may help; are you drinking enough water, what's your exercise like, are you tracking those sneaky little bits you put into your mouth. If you're doing all these things and...

    Starting AGAIN!!!! Need Christmas countdown buddies :)

    I have exams starting this Sat so I haven't been online that much. I lost another lb on Fri :) I think I may have to readjust my expectations though for the next 2 weeks what with exams. I'm going to focus more on exercise rather than food but still not go off the rails foodwise. Hopefully I can...

    WW scales

    I got these ones last week and so far so good. Only thing is they were bigger than I expected but they work perfectly. And I find even if you move it the weight doesn't change like most other scales. Buy Salter Ultra Slim Black Glass Electronic Scale. at Argos.ie- Your Online Shop for .

    Bathroom Scales

    Thanks for the replies. MrsMc I read through the reviews on Argos today so I have one in mind based on the reviews. I'm just waiting for Salter to get back to me first because I've only had it since January so they might offer to repair it or replace it.

    Starting AGAIN!!!! Need Christmas countdown buddies :)

    Thanks Becca. I've been really good with staying within points, its when I go out with friends that I struggle. I'm not going to my meetings again until after Christmas as I want to kick start my weight loss again without forking out a tenner each week. So think I might go with Friday mornings...

    Starting AGAIN!!!! Need Christmas countdown buddies :)

    Count me in :) I have just started discover again after a disastrous year on propoints. I spent last week getting used to points again and had a blow out today :rolleyes: but I'm determined now to work towards Christmas. I went shopping at the weekend and I bought a gorgeous dress so I want to...

    Pro Point Changes

    TBH I think there's major flaws with the propoints plan. I only changed back to the old points system this week after 10 months being on propoints and only lost 4lbs. Now some weeks that was my own fault, holidays, graduation, take aways after nights out etc. But there were long periods where I...

    how many of us are doing this??

    I started back today and have to say I feel great. This plan is definitely better than propoints, its much more structured. I'm not going to WI this week, going to wait until next Weds.

    Old Weight Watcher...

    That there was my major problem with propoints. I'm after going through all my old trackers and one of my biggest losses during the discover plan came after a week of 2 big nights out. On propoints I couldn't even have a drink without putting up half a pound. I'm also very wary about the...

    Back to discover..going alone

    Hi I thought I'd introduce myself. I have spent the last 11 months losing and gaining the same few lbs on propoints. I've only lost a measly 4lbs since Jan which is shocking. So I've decided its high time I do something about it. I did consider joining slimming world but I don't think it'll suit...
