Morning all, I hope everyone is keeping well and focused...we know Clare is!!!! Last night for the first time in a while I felt that I needed something else. I ended up having a cup of warm milk with some honey and that seemed to do the trick. As a result I went a couple of points over my...

Well done Clare. It certainly isn't easy when watching other people enjoying themselves and sitting on the sidelines. It just shows how focused you are towards your end goal. Long may it last. I'm sure if you have been true to yourself the results will show come weigh in day???????? A big well...

Morning, everyone, I hope your all feeling well....good luck to all those that are weighing in today!!!! Myself I am still feeling focused. Into week 4 for me and still planning ahead. For me this is so important as I don't guess at what the points will be as I'm going along everything is...

Thanks Jo. I can't believe how focused I am. Nothing is getting passed these lips that isn't pointed. Dedicated weekend walks seems to be a winning combination at the moment. I'm also rewarding myself in other ways too not with food. Although I do look around and have found choc sponge pud...

Hi sas. I'm with up the duff I think you need to use some of them as your body needs that extra fuel but listen to your body. Myself I work out how many extra points I have gained and use half of them. But usually my body tells me I need that extra bit of fuel to feel sustained.

Glad your feeling better Jo

Hi Marli, Yes the maximum points your allowed to carry over each day is a maximum of 4. Hope that Helps:o

Well done marli go go you????

morning clare, a 1lb loss is better than a 1lb gained....your still losing. which is fantastic!!;);) after having such a big loss on the first week you kinda set yourself up for a bit of a downer week 2. there was no way you could sustain a 7lb loss each week. Just remember 6 months...

I'll give that a go...teehee?????

The weather was the same in Peterborough.....unfortunately I was stuck in an office all day???

Congratulation on keeping your job..now the anxiety has gone your good to go???

Well done for staying strong

Welcome to our community

Hi ang, sorry to hear about your son in law. It's at a time like that when family's pull together and give the support needed to come out the other side. I'm sure your daughter was grateful for the support you gave. The last thing you should be doing is apologising for not posting on a forum and...

Go go becca....I'm glad it all worked out for you in the end!! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Had to do some bits in town this morning came home and made a carrot and coriander soup with enough left for some soup at work in the week. Off for a nice walk tomorrow at the local park...

Just a quick well done to Jo and Suzanne. Soooooo ready for the weekend. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Don't forget what ever happens keep smiling. ??????

Hi becca. I see your doing more Zumba......how are you calculating the exercise points your generating?

Morning all, Just like to echo what everyone is saying. We're on a six month journey and ups and downs are to be expected. I too have experienced good weeks bad weeks and sts. Although disappointment is instant success is measured in time. Our little community here is going to experience all of...

Hi Becca. Dont be too down were all here to help..! What might be an idea is to say how many points you have (i think 20) also post a couple of your menus and times you usually eat. i know this may seem weird but maybe you may have hit the exercise a little too much as your body will act...

Well done marli you showed real strength in your approach

Welcome Niamh. As ang says the more the merrier. I hope you find our little community helpful and inspirational.

Hi Clare, I think a food diary would be a good thread to start. It's always good to have a varied diet to keep it interesting. And being able to pinch other people's ideas helps towards that.

Morning all....What a day from hell!! Yesterday I was up at 03:45 and at work for 05:15 trying to get through a workload before my early finish 11:30 workload grew and grew rushing around like an idiot. Managed to get everything done so went home at 11:30 to wait for the delivery of my fence...

Well done eabha. We're on the road to skinnyness

Well done ang....all that anxiety was worth it brilliant!!!!

Morning all. Early one for me today. New fence panels being delivered this afternoon so going in early as I have loads to do. Can't believe I was up at 03:45. Mind you I feel quite awake!!!! Clare.....I hope you managed to beat off those nasty hungers pangs? I usually have some low point fruit...

Well done Jo ....fantastic start

Well done Marli...very proud Looks like were all getting out what we put in. Happy Lunch Time!!!:D:D:D;)

Morning skinny that's a fantastic loss.....well done you???? Your going to feel so tall this morning walking about. very proud of you. I bet your smile is from ear to ear

Morning ang, I like you started to get anxious before my weigh in so know how your feeling. I'm sure you will be fine....just need to get that first one under your belt!!?

Thanks eabha. Perhaps in your enthusiasm you have over done it a bit. Best to build up rather than go all out from the start. I hope you feel better today?

Good luck to all those weighing in today. Wow this thread has really taken off. The support we all giving each other is fantastic......I think this is just as good if not better than going to a meeting and cheaper. Everyone chipping in with encouragement and advice. So glad ang put me onto this...

Well done skinny for staying so focused....you must have been so proud of yourself when you got back from your venue.... Big pat on the back

Thanks Jo, I have read through those pages that you posted on walking....all seems to make sense!! When you first start back you can be a little too enthusiastic. I think I'm on the right track though as we done 2.5 miles in 47 minutes. Also we are not new to walking just getting back in to it.

Thanks Suzanne. Enjoyed my lunch today!!!

Thanks safc & Jo for the encouragement. Feeling positive about having another focused week. And the result at the end of it. I will be doing another walk this weekend. Certainly feel better afterwards. Also downloaded an app which tracks your route and tells you how many calories you burn...

Thanks ang, With that result you will be pleased to hear that i now have to lose a point as i've gone into another stone bracket...so only 33 now.:cry: any plans for another golfing attempt;) Have to admit Sunday was the first day that i started to feel a little peckish so i broke off a...

Hey ang. Sorry I made a mistake with my points I actually have 34 points.......mmmmmmm but I do have a lot to lose!!!!!!! Enjoy your weekend all

If you went to the ww meetings you may have noticed on the table that was selling the merchandise they used to have packets of hard boiled sweets for about 1 point per box. Well marks and spencer’s sell the equivalent of those for about 70/80p they do several flavours….butterscotch, mint, citrus...

Has anyone tried the weight watchers eclairs. There nice too and only 1.5 points per eclair

Hi chubby chops, i think im right in saying that anyone is welcome here. Becca runs the thread and keeps track of all our losses should you choose to submit them. all of us on here are desperate to loose the weight and i think you will find we are all working from the discover plan. There...

Morning marli, Here is the info for smartphone WW tracker and point calculator. The app can be found at the apple store and android market so it's available on the two main platforms. So if your phone runs on any of those this could be a really helpful tool to aid you in your weight loss...

Morning all. I hope your all good and feeling positive. Day 5 for me and no hiccups as yet. Still feeling mentally strong. Breakfast today is weetabix and mid morning snacks and a couple of satsumas and a small box of raisins. Lunch is egg mayo sandwich and a packet of velvet crunch crisps...

Hi Dublin Rose, There area few of us on a thread called " summer challenge 2012" and it is what is says. Were always welcoming new people as we all need as much support as we can. All in the same boat. Hope to see you there. It's all based on the ww discover plan

Good luck everyone

last night some of the panels in our fence were ruined with the heavy winds and i had to fork out a few pounds today for a new set. mmmm can i take those pounds off my target...lol

Morning skinny, I'm like you I feel less bloated too. We must be doing something right. I agree weekends are difficult when you don't have work to take your mind off it. We are going for a nice walk around ferry meadows a nice park near us. I don't weigh myself until weigh in days. The morning...

Hi ang, thanks for the bovril research. Thursday night is shopping night so I will be putting some in the trolley tonight. And of course I will have my phone with iwatchr calculator to check the point values. I hope you bake lots of nice goodies that you can eat on the diet mmmmmmm I think I...

Good morning all!!! How did we all do yesterday? Did we all manage to stay on track? I'm pleased to say I did so moving onto day 4 for me. Breakfast this morning is shreddies with an apple and banana throughout the morning oh and a few warm drinks. Still feeling quite focused menus all sorted...

How I'm helping my weight loss!! Some of the Christmas presents that we got were tins of sweets/biscuits thorntons chocolates ferrero things so I've taken them to work and put them in the staff canteen so I don't get tempted because I know I would if I left them at home.

I hope the weather goes to minus 10 so I can shiver off a few pounds....lol

Well done uptheduff your on the right path. Let's hope we can all keep up with you. By the way are you really up the duff?

Thanks for tidying that quote up Suzanne. It was the first time I used that option and I made a bit of a hash of it.

What is your favourite treat whilst following the WW Discover plan & How Many Points? Just trying to Rob you of a few ideas!!!! there may be something we haven't all tried before. Lee

Hi ang, Glad you find I watched useful. No more paper menus for you. Only thing is you need to add all you foods but once that's done it's just maintenance. Enjoy your Zumba wiggle wiggle lol

What helps you stay on track? 1. For me first and foremost is the support of my lovely wife. She understands the plan as well as me and give me the support I need. 2. My phone app. It keeps track of everything I eat and keeps a database of all the food and point values. Also has a point...

Glad your so focused skinny. I too seem to be in the zone but it's only day 3. I usually find the first 2 weeks are the hardest after that it usually blends in with my lifestyle and it doesn't play on my mind so much. Go go discover and good luck

I too lost my weight on discover plan then pp came along and didn't work for me just over a year ago. Put 2 stone back on cus I gave up. But just started back on discover this week. Go go discover Lee

Good lu ck on your quest. Just a little motivation needed. I find the first 2 weeks is the hardest after that I seem to blend it into my lifestyle. Happy dieting

I too questioned the weekly points.......didn't make sense If you daily points are worked out on different criteria like height weight and so on WHY are the weekly point the same for everyone? Go go discover Lee

Good luck

Good luck and don't forget to enjoy yourself Lee

I too have just restarted my discover plan. I lost 5 stone before and then they introduced pro point and let's just say disaster darling. So I started back Monday and have been good to date. I posted on here and someone guided me to a thread SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012. There are a few of us on...

Hi, what activities do people do to help aid weight loss? Myself i'm not a gym person. i have 2 local parks near me which are quite large. usually at weekends me and the wife go walking at those parks (Ferry Meadows & Rutland Water) we usually walk for about 1 1/2 hours and its great getting out...

does anyone weigh their banana's or do they just presume they are 1.5 points?

Time for a herbal tea.....nettle i believe. feeling a little peckish so will try this route. Lee

Ready too start another day......feeling positive. Shredded wheat with honey for breakfast this morning. Having home made butternut squash and roasted red pepper soup for lunch and pasta tonight...sorted!!! I must admit I do find it easier when I plan the day out the night before. Does any one...

Thankyou Irene

Hi, my name is lee. But I'm not one of you ladies. But hope I am still welcome to join your summer challenge as ang252 pointed me in your direction. I lost 5 stone on WW discover plan but lost my way when they introduced pro points. It just didn't work for me. I have since put on 2 stone and...

Hi ang How do I join your summer challenge as I think this would replace my meetings as they don't do discover anymore Lee

Well it's time to get back on track. I lost 5 stone on the WW discover plan but have put 2 stone back on. I was doing really well then they changed it to pp and it didn't work for me so I gave up. But I've dug out my old discover plan and set myself up to lose what I gained and more. Good luck...
