Haven't been on here for ages, still following WW at least trying to anyway. Can't be bothered with tracking, so hoping to update my thread, re-find my motivation and keep myself on track. 1 and a half pounds to go until my next mini target

Hi Carly, Haven't been on minimins for months,but just checking in to see how you are getting on. Haven't managed to catch up on all your posts, but I will do. Hope things are contuing to go well x

Hi nicnacmac, I am following WW propoints and I indeed have loads to lose, at least 10 stone at the start, so about 7 now. I lost another 3 1/2 over the last two weeks, so things are going well. What about yourself? Do you have a thread on here?

I am definitely looking forward to the shopping. Been looking for clothes for an interview all day today and trousers weren't a problem (now) I actually had a couple of shops to pick from, not River Island or anywhere like that yet...but I had a bit more choice than Evans. Tops however are a big...

Lost 3 1/2 pounds today so total of 3 stone 2 1/2 gone to date. :)

Just popping in to see how you are getting on Carly, haven't been on minimins for a while. Haven't managed to catch up on all your posts as yet but saw that you have earned 142 AP!!, so things must be going well :)

Thanks Ross. Had a sneak peak at the scales today...and I seem to have put some pounds on. 'Deep breaths....it's only one week...wait until 'official' weigh in....you are losing inches...it's turning into muscle'...NOPE none of the positivity is working :( I am gutted! I've stuck to my points...

I'm sorry to hear the pain your leg is causing you, but well done on completing 2km. Like you say it's early days and hopefully it will get better and easier for you.

Sts this week. I can't decide whether I am disappointed or not. Well I am disappointed because I want a loss every week but on the other hand I did have pizza hut (within points) and Saturday I didn't keep a good track on what I was eating. Also my weight loss does tend to be lose 6, sts, lose...

Hi I'm doing ww too and understand what you mean by weight coming off slowly for your size. I can never quite get my head around the fact that I'm eating much more healthily, regularly exercising when I barely got off the sofa before and yet sometimes I sts. How is that even possible??. But like...

Hi Can anyone help me with pps for the Chilli Twists with Chicken pasta dish at Pizza Hut. I have tried to work it out from the website but they don't give a value for the fibre and I can't find it any other thread. Also the chocolate cookie dough please, I read 29pp on other threads but it...

Well done on the competition win, I think it really helps having other people to 'account' to, definitely keeps the motivation going. Sure you'll have that 2lbs off next week. I reached my 10% this week and lost 6lbs. Reading your posts gave me a shove in the right direction to join the gym, so...

Going to the gym a couple of times last week obviously paid off, my weigh in today and I lost 6lb. Really pleased with that. Actually looking forward to going back to gym next week. So that's a total loss of 34lb and my 10 per cent target was also reached today. My mini target is also in sight...

I managed to go back to the gym on Thursday did the bike and treadmill again. Couldn't go today as my little one is off school sick and next week is half term, so back to it the week after :(.

The amount of weight we have to lose can be overwhelming but the best way I do it is to set small targets to aim for. I think if I kept thinking I had to lose 10 stone I would quickly get disheartened especially in weeks where I only lose a pound. As it is my next target is to get to 279 pounds...

You really sound like you're loving that gym, good for you, you are doing loads of exercise so even if the scales aren't playing fair imagine how much fitter you're getting. Definitely deserving that Indian on Thursday. You seem really positive about your trainer too, shame about the food...

So a few positives this week. Firstly had my weigh-in today and lost another 2lbs, which takes me to 28lb loss and 2 stone. Also this is the lowest weight I can remember since I went to uni about 10 years ago. Also I joined the gym this week...I never ever ever would've imagined that I would...

Hi xmandsx, I can understand what you mean about the cooking. I have to work hard at the too tired to cook feelings, but I have found it surprising how quick it is to put something healthy together. Don't beat yourself up over the bad days we all get them, put a line and start afresh. Keep...

I use the kids Wii to do zumba and Just Dance. I also have a few DVDs and use some of the exercise progs that come on those sky fitness channels. Sometimes I just dance around the living room to my MP3. Probably look a right idiot but anything that gets me moving and sweating is enough for me...

Stayed the same this week. I am pretty sure I was 3lbs down according to my scales and then Saturday night happened. Wine, pizza, crisps :(, but it is once in a blue moon thing and it was a great night out with friends. Back on it this week, lost 1 lb in two weeks so really need toget going again.

Well done on the PGCE, great news! fingers crossed for the exam. Wow you really seem to be going for it at the gym. I have heard people say before that their weight loss stalls or goes up when they start exercising, but I'm sure it must all balance itself out. I should really start myself. I...

There is definitely a huge difference, you look great.

Thanks James. Well and truly back on the food wagon this week, apart from the exercise. It's too cold and wet to walk around, excuses, excuses I know. On a more positive note I bought some new jeans today, two sizes smaller...:D. I guess the 26lbs has gone from my waist and hips.

I started weightwatchers November 2011 weighing 22st 13. I have lost 26 lbs so far and it's going ok. Short term goal is to get under 20 stone, and then take the rest a stone at a time. Found lots of inspiration on here. Good Luck on the plan.

Really pleased to hear the assessment etc went well, good for you. I hate those group things - I remember at my last one I hadn't said anything so thought I better try to, I really wish I didn't, I just said 'errr... oh sorry I forgot' duh! embarassing. That gym teacher sounds like a right...

Hi Effelump, Good luck with slimming world. How are you finding it? I lost 1lb this week, which I'm quite happy with it. I'm not feeling great got a cold and TOTM so haven't tracked this week, apart from in my mind. Just wanted comfort food all week have eaten apple pie and custard, massive...

Just catching up...firstly congrats on your 4lb loss. You're doing really well. I know your scales are showing you as up this week but you know yourself that the weight on the scales are just part of it. You seem to have so much going on at the moment no wonder you are feeling a little...

Weigh in today lost 6lbs, very happy with that :). Done quite a bit of walking this week and also Just Dance on the wii. More importantly I opened the 30 day shred DVD and did the first one.. !

We all have our lapses Carly, for the last week I haven't tracked properly some days and also that whole eating the kids leftovers has crept back in again. So I stayed the same this week :(. BUT at least you have recognised that you've let things slide and have a plan to get back on track and...

Thanks Caroline, I think I will join the gym when I get paid. Plus I can go in the mornings when I've dropped the kids to school so should be a bit quieter. I know I shouldn't care but the bit I dread most is the medical thing the whole weight and trying to fit my arm in the blood pressure cuff...

Hi Loobilou I started out Weightwatchers at same weight as yourself and I know that I wouldn't have stuck to my 'diet' without the classes. I went and sat outside a few times before I got the nerve to go in, but I am really pleased I did. I have made a couple of friends which is good for...

Thanks James, very true. Well I had my weigh in today and by some miracle I lost 3lb!!! So I am focussed and getting back on track - this time next year I WILL be so much smaller. My jeans are feeling quite big now which is a great feeling. Going to start my exercise dvd tomorrow. I want to...

Thanks, I gotta say I was really pleased with the 6 pounds and thought itwould help keep me motivated over xmas.... it didn't! Haven't counted a thing and just started back counting today. I just was so not in the mood to be tracking everything so Ijust ate and enjoyed although pretty much...

Hi Carly, Going away over the new year so suspect I'm going to fall off the wagon a bit then too. But for now I lost 6 lbs today, which means 16 in total :D

Weigh in today and I lost 6lbs! Yay. So I have lost a total of 16 pounds, which means I have hit my target of a stone by xmas. It's just the boost I needed to keep me going over the christmas.

oh and I did have quite a bit of pasta the night before, probably not the best move but it was really nice

So after a great loss of 5lb last week, this week I put on a pound :cry:. I did eat food cooked by someone else and kind of randomly guessed at the propoints value and I got a bit bored of tracking/weighing etc so just did it at the end of the day and probably forgot stuff but really didn't...

Reading through your thread Carly, gotta say it's helping keep me motivated. I have also got about 10/11 stone to lose. Started weightwatchers about 3 weeks ago. Well done on your weightloss so far

Wow, 7 stone is a huge achievement. Sorry to hear that you are struggling I am just at the start, but I joined a group because I knew it would help keep me going. Good luck

Lol after following your thread James and seeing your fantastic weight loss I decided to drag myself out for a walk. It was freezing but I felt good for it! :D. Your weight loss is so inspirational ,you are doing so well. Well done.

I thought there was a 'thanks' button but can't find it now, but thank you for all your comments. Pinkelle - since your reply I have tried the Jelly and have to say it is now my new munchies friend. It's zero points on WW so really helps meet my sweet tooth. So, last week I lost 2 pounds with...

Well had my first weigh in today and I lost 4 pounds. I'm impatient and would love to have lost like 10 pounds in the first week but realistically I know 4 is a good start. I'm sure this is the first time ever my weight has actually gone down rather than up. So roll on week 2

Thanks for the reply. Unfortuantely the Slimming World near me just wasn't for me and I didn't do it online because like you I know I will need the class to keep it going. Trying WW propoints so I'll see how I get on.

Hi and thank you once again for your replies and tips. I'll definitely be trying to include more veggies with my dinner and generally increase my water. I really don't drink enough of anything. Well I went to a Weightwatchers class on Wednesday so am going to give the pro points plan a go. Been...

Thanks for the welcome and the positive words. I too would love my own personal chef. I'm trying to cook better but my attempts this week are not filling me up at all. I think whenever I try to reduce my portion sizes I end up not eating enough. But I'm conscious that if I allowed myself to, I...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, don't really know what to say but here goes... I have got about 10 stone to lose and I've never really seriously tried before, because I thought I would never be any smaller, I've always been overweight. But reading everyone's stories and weight losses is...

The weight losses on here are so inspirational. I currently weigh about 23 stone and want to get down to 11. Hoping to finally join a class on Tuesday. I say hoping because I've not yet built up the confidence to go in.
