Hi! I nearly fainted when I saw this because we have so much in common. Have PM'd you! Think we really need to be weight loss buddies! Clair x

I did manage to drag my lazy bottom out of the house on Mon and did 8,378 which I was pleased with considering I nearlt settled for 1,000. Yesterday i got 10, 248 in which is good. All this work had better show on the scales on Thurs else there will be tears and screams aplenty (toddler...

I'd say it's worth a go. I definitely eat for different reasons. I've come to the conclusion that my eating is kind of like a form of self harm cos I do it to make myself supposedly feel better but it's detrimental to my health. It's not so bad nowadays cos I've realised that I need to be...

You can do it lovey! Just picture yourself walking down the aisle just the way you want to look, might help to keep you motivated xxx

Poor things! Hate cystitis...apparently barley water squash helps but might just be an old wives tale. Feel better soon xxx

Yeah post on here...I need the support myself! yesterday I did 13,269 cos go marched on a walk towrds the peak district by my OH. I'm glad he did though... Today is a different story so far though :(. I've only done 1,409 so am going to go to the park and then to the shop so will see what...

Hello love, I'm a core girl and have lost 3 and a half stone so far. I do still eat out but I do have to be more picky about where. I tend to favour italian now as you can have things like mussels, parma ham, pasta, tomato sauces etc. for free and then you can use 10 of your weekly...

I saw some digital ones in pound land recently that said they counted steps, distance in km and calories burned!

Hi wannabe10, just have a suggestion to keep you on track with your weigh ins... use the scales once a week in your nearest Boots, it's cheap and they're accurate. You get a little slip so that you'll have a solid record too. Sounds like you're doing well so far so well done. xxx

On the leaflet from meeting there's space for both so just record both if you can - did 11,875 yesterday (4.4 miles). Worried about today cos I can't be bothered just because it's Sunday and i have period pain :( xxx

It was just over 4 miles. Was easier than will be most days I think cos i walked into town (one and a half miles) then around the shops looking at dresses. Was surprised at how quickly the steps clock up just pottering round the house. I also found (and am today) that I tend to take the...

Right, my first day is today and i wasn't sure if I'd be able to do the whole 10,000 steps but it actually wasn't that hard - I've actually done 11,749! Just hope i can keep it up all week so that the scales go the right way and also so I don't get into trouble with my WW leader cos I promised...

My leader is mean and says that she wants our figures next Thurs LOL! I say she's mean but I do have my pedometer on today and i am going to do at least 10,000 steps a day. Prob the kick i need cos haven't lost any weight for two weeks, just stayed the same. Although that's good considering I...

Hey there! Yep, think everyone's been out in the sun all day (like me). Welcome and good luck with your new start xxx

Woo hoo! Three cheers for Gemma... Hip pip... xxx

Hiya! Welcome and good luck! xxx

Hello! I've lost all my weight so far on Core and i'd defitely recommend it. I find that it's flexible and in 'most' situations I can find something to eat which allowed. I think core is really great for a forever plan cos it's all based on eating healthily with occasional treats. I...

Don't worry honey! I've had a terrible couple of weeks so I'm dreading seeing my WW leader on Thurs, she'll tell me off : (... I had my birthday and drank and ate loads (including a box of Lindor) and I haven't been properly good since. I was away on an overnight school trip on Thurs and we...

Hello! Come and chat to us as often as you like or can xxx

WOW! (I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous...honest! etc.). xxx

Awww love, you've had an awful time. Just think of your diet as giving yourself such much needed TLC and you'll do great. xxx

Hello! Well done with your weight loss so far - you are doing really well. xxx

I've had a great few weeks after pretty much staying the same for a couple of months and last week hit the 50lb mark which was huge for me. The thing is I'm really struggling this week... I got weighed yesterday and have put 1.5 on and it was my birthday yesterday too : (... That's the thing...

I think it's lovely and reckon you should definitley go for it. I think that your hair would look really nice pinned up and the sandals you posted up the other day would look gorge!!! xxx

I felt something hot and slimey. I looked over at my hand and gasped as i saw that it was a...

My Mum told me a story about a coil of some sort that she had fitted. Apparently the wire bit was a bit too long and lets just say that my Dad got quite injured in a delicate place! That's why I've always been warned off the coil. Although, that must have been like a million years ago so...

what has been going on in Eastenders this week?

2 and a half is right hun as far as I can tell! xxx

He he, maybe that means that alcohol is good for you? Yes?...Ok maybe not! xxx

Thanks everyone! I know it's weird that i can't see a big difference, I mean I can tell I'm slimmer but I honestly don't think I felt any different in either one of those photos. Think my brain just needs to catch up... Maybe it will when I lose the remaining 6 stones. xxx

I want one, I want one, I want one!!! I'm such a kid that this is actually exercise I'd do. Basically because it's not exercise, it's playing and because I get competitive (even with myself sometimes). Going on my Christmas list already... or maybe a treat for when I reach my next stone...

My shopping guide says that: Chicken and ham ones are 5 and a half, tikka ones are 5 and a half and garlic butter are 5 and a half too! If you used a points calculator I'd go with what you said cos they're pretty accurate but if used the slidy thing I'd err on the side of caution and go for...

Hopefully you'll be surprised love. If you're fine tonight just try to make sure you're extra good this week so that doesn't bite you in the bum next week (I speak from experience can you tell?). xxx

Don't worry about slow at all. WW is a big adjustment cos it should be for life (big psychological thing). Slow is better for your skin and for keeping the weight off too so don't worry... xxx

Hey girls, Thank you so much for your congrats...it means alot! To those of you who said that you'd like to try Core I'd say go for it. It might take a little bit of getting used to but it's worth it. This was me in Jan 2007!!! Here I am on Saturday night (wearing a dress!) with my...

I can't believe it...I lost 3lb this week so have now hit 50lb. I am so excited I'm going to go and eat lots (of core food)!!! xxx

Awww hun, don't forget that sometimes your body takes a week to catch up so it'll be ok next week! xxx

I have a rabbit called Jack (who is a mean, grumpy bunny who doesn't love me back), two guinea pigs; Rolo & Harelquin and two rats called Daisy & Willow. xxx

OMG! Your before and after pic is amazing. You have done so well! xxx

help

Ha ha! I'm giggling so much cos sounds so much like my boyfriend (of 9 years). He's come up with lots of compliments like: "You only have one belly now instead of two" "Oh my god, you've got knee bones" "I can actually put my hands together behind your back when i hug you now"He does try but...

Well done, that's really good! It's my birthday next Thursday and I'm scared to death that I'll lose all self control. xxx

((Big Hug!)) Kick their lazy bums! xxx

You can do it hun! God yeah, I'm always the worst when i've been working - just get in and want to eat sandwiches etc. Just need to make sure that there are some healthy options to hand. I tend to go for bananas cos they pick up my energy levels. Yep, 47lb so far. Hoping (and crossing...

Hey! Welcome to the Wagon! Know what you mean about those horrible skinny girls - aren't they just everywhere. In fact, my best friends are some of them! he he xxx

I've been on it for a good few years. Seem to remember having a few headaches at first but only for a couple of weeks! Until about 6mnts ago they completely stopped my periods but have them back now. Not sure if it was because of the pills or because i was so fat LOL. I've had no probs with...

Muscle xxx

Well done for being so brave. I'd love to do salsa but feel like I wouldn't look right at the moment. Maybe I should just go for it! My WW leader has been trying to get us to go dancing for ages cos apparently burns loads of cals. xxx

Woopsy, meant you ARE and they're not!!! xxx

He he girls the willy comments are really making me giggle!!! I know how it makes you feel when people say nasty things. When I was 3st heavier I actually got shouted at a few times by people in passing cars. It really made me feel so horrible and angry at the same time. Just have to...

Good luck lovey! Let us know how it's going! xxx

Tesco have started doing a light Prawn Coctail too - not a massive pot but it hits the spot for 3 points. I also have a fave to share if you're a cheesecake fan. It's for Lime Cream - Just put the juice of half a lime in a bowl, mix with half a tub of low fat cream cheeses then add sweetener...

Yep, I think for some of us all we have to do is sniff a slice of cake and that's it. I get annoyed sometimes cos I really have to stick to it exactly otherwise I put on. I mean if I had say two points over my core allowance I'd either stay the same or go up...ridiculous. The crazy thing is...

Hi there! It sounds like you've done the right thing coming to WW. I've never done Cambridge and I know I couldn't either. Just doesn't sound like I'd learn anything and worry cos it doesn't sound healthy. You'll do great on here xxx

That's excellent! xxx

Have you got a picture of a slimmer you to look at? If not stick your face onto a nice picture you can find that shows what you want to look like... might be inspiring! xxx

Ball xxx

And another WOW! You are amazing... well done! xxx

Thank you! I will just focus on one small goal at a time i.e. at the moment I will focus on that silver 7. I can't believe that stickers actually work for adults! (they do for me anyway he he). xxx

1lb when you've been away is wicked! Well done! xxx

Mmm... I love prune yoghurts! xxx

I'm having a really scared moment that my goal weight is unachievable and that I'll put on weight this week at WI (Thursday). I don't know why i have moments like this, suppose it's cos 6 stones to go is a hell of a lot! Need to focus on the short term goals I know but I feel so...

P.S, In my opinion 56lb in 12 weeks would be a bit much. Bear in mind that your skin has to cope with losing the fat and if this happens too quickly it might not want to spring back. Another theory is that if you lose it more slowly the more likely it is to stay off. xxx

My doctor told me that you should never, ever go below 1500 calories a day as that's what your body needs to do simple things like breathing, creating waste and skin repair etc. If I were you hun i'd just up your calories but counter them by exercising. From what I understand if you keep on...

Yep, just try not to give up hun. You can do it...we all can!!! xxx

I know what you mean about not liking being touched! I've been with my man for 9 years and when we got together I was about 11st. I managed to get right up to 21st last year and it has really affected us. Even though I've now lost 47lb I still feel like i don't want to be touched as i...

I think we're all addicted to food, that's why we're here! Well at least I am... I know the feeling you described really really well...feeling sick but squeezing something in just because you want to. I know it sounds daft but I think I've come to terms with the fact that I'm always going to...

I think that the support of a slimming group would be a good idea as already suggested as it really keeps me going. Another thing to note is that we're always being told about how important it is to vary what you eat. There are two reasons; one is just that if you eat similar or the same...

I can recommend Weight Watchers! There is no food that you can't have (as long as you have it in moderation and within your points). There are two ways of doing it now too - there's points or Core. I do Core which means that i get to eat three meals a day until I'm full which consist of...

Hey, I'm a Thursday girl! Can I be added please? Thanks xxx

Awww, honey I don't think you're whinging at all! I know exactly what you mean about not feeling different. I've lost 47lb so far and felt great after about 30lb and now I don't really feel any different to when I started. In my case I think I'll always have a battle with myself no matter...

Thank you for your warm welcomes guys! I would recommend Core if you can handle living without bread and cheese. Although you can still have them from your weekly points allowance I tend not to as they get used on other essentials like chocolate and wine he he. At the end of the day it...

Baked butternut squash or sweet potato chips mmm... If you use fry lite and you're on core you can have a whole bowl full for free. How cool is that? xxx

I think I probably would have eaten it too but would have felt sooo guilty afterward, especially cos I'm on Core LOL! I swing between being an angel and an utter deviant and i'd say it's 50/50 as to which one most of the time. It's not the end of the world! xxx

Hello! I can't believe I've only just found this site!!! I have been a WW member for ten months now and am doing the Core plan which I love (most of the time). I've lost 47lb so far which is great but it's been really slow for the last couple of months and I did start to lose heart a little...
