Well lots of things happened simultaneously that gave me that nasty green light to go eat eat eat! Firstly, I had no internet and no phone line, so I couldn't come onto here and get my arse kicked lol Secondly I have now been informed of how much I have to pay out for college fee's to start in...

Hi daisy-oh yes I am fine, damn internet not working. A fault on the line apparently (no phone line either), 72 hour window for them to fix it, deadline tonight lol. My internet is soooo slow i can't update my ticker, but have lost 2lb this week :D Hope you are well, and enjoying this fabulous...

Thank you :) I really like dellybelly's idea of putting a pound away for every pound lost. Then I can also see what i'm not spending on cakes! Good luck everyone :)

Thankyou for your replies :) I have joined a local WW meet, and having never done it before I am pleasantly surprised. Its clear I have zero willpower, hence the date I wrote this post and failed miserabally lol. Left to my own devices I could eat my way through a small supermarket, but on WW so...

How are you getting on?

Well yesterday felt like a failure day, although I did stay within points. I guess I need to get my head round the amount I am eating is ok, even if I scoffed a double egg sandwich at 10 oclock last night :rolleyes: Its been TOTM this week and I could eat for england! I'm gearing myself up for...

Thank you! I am nearing the end of week 2 and have found its getting easier. I was afraid last week that I wouldn't have lost anything because it didn't feel like dieting. I kept thinking I must be doing something wrong! But I lost 5lb so was really pleased. I am noticing small improvements...

Thank you :)

I think it comes down to what they despise in others is actually what they despise in themselves. They say life is like a mirror, and I think these people that attack others for whatever reason have insecurities themselves.

Thanks Alwyn, I had some red cabbage the other day and served it with sausages and mash, my OH was not impressed, neither was I to be honest lol I will bung the rest of it in a soup instead;)

5lb off this week. Wondering about next week though as its TOTM, and right now I feel fatter than I did last week! Damn these womens things lol :mad:

Thanks both for your congratulations :) I'm very excited! Its been one of those electrical breaky down weeks, they tend to run in threes and they have lol. Daisy, I love your new pic, your hair looks great :) Happy vibes to you both! :)

I'm with you on the tattoo's! I have a lovely half sleeve on my left arm, that only my nearest and dearest have seen. I am looking forward to showing it off :)

Hi Em, Thanks for the follow :) Good week so far, although I had 2 large glasses of wine on Tuesday night (which came out of my allowance) so I'm terrified its knocked the weightloss on the head this week. I suppose because it doesn't feel like i'm dieting my brain is telling me I'm not! Made...

Well my first week done! I have to admit I was a little worried, mostly because I haven't felt like I've been dieting, and I was thinking i couldn't possibly be doing this right :/ But 5lb down and I am really pleased :)

Fruit and veg can make you a little 'windy'. I am a long time sufferer of gastritis (due, no doubt to the rubbish food I have been eating!) and anything with lots of fibre would make my stomach bloat. I find if I feel bloated, usually its gas and I would go for a brisk walk and drink lots of...

Its quite tough to get in the swing of these points, I haven't been feeling hungry (much) over the week, and I keep thinking 'am I doing this right?!' lol. :o

I'm with you on that one!

Oh crikey yes it does! I can't tell you how many times this week I have thought back (over the last 10 years) at my old eating habits and said to myself; bloody hell no wonder I got fat! Its the things that you don't think about that makes the weight creep up, I would think nothing of opening a...

I think the little things are important too :) I am looking forward to wearing a T-shirt, as its always been a no no for me to uncover my arms in summer! To not want to turn the lights off at bedtime ;) To have my OH lift me up without me screaming no! no! lol To shop in regular shops My...

Day 6! can't believe I made it this far lol. Although it has been the 'week before payday' so my will power has had a helping hand. I'm both excited and nervous about my first weigh in tomorrow, I feel I have lost something, not so bloated and feel like I have more energy. Although today is...

Aww thank you! You too, hope the sun is shining where you are :)

Thank you daisy :) I think the real test will be from tomorrow, as this last week has been the week before payday, so my willpower will be tested this week! :D

Hmmm not sure why my post has been moved to the slimming world boards, as I am doing weightwatchers :p But thank you all for your replies :)

Can anyone suggest a nice meal I can cook for myself and my other half? Something that will be ok point wise for me, and enough to satisfy a 6ft4 hungry barbarian?! I will be delving into my weekly points but want to keep it as low as possible, to accommodate the half a bottle of wine ;) Thanks:)

What a great thread! I resisted running down the shop to get a Friday night bottle of wine after a stressful day yesterday :D. I am so glad i did this morning!

Day 4! Normally at day 4ish of a diet I'm hoofing it down the shops to arm myself with chocolate and wine in total defeat and 'one last blow-out' before I do it for real next week lol But not today, I feel fine :) I did have a stressful phone call this morning, which also normally would have...

Gosh I have just found this thread, very inspiring! Some amazing recipes :)

Ohh that sounds nice, I normally eat squash covered in butter and garlic and baked (ouch to the waist!), so will rethink and probably do the same but with just garlic. Havent tried the squash soup yet, but its next on my list of things to try :)

Woke up this morning not hungry! Wooot! Normally i'm starving in the mornings, and have breakfast (at about 6am with the kids before school) and then am hungry again by 10. But this morning a cup of tea was all I needed, and actually didn't eat till lunch. Probably not a good thing but to not...

Honk and on day 3 :) No weekly's used yet but i'm saving those for the weekend!

I discovered curly wurlies today too! I am only on day 2 but had the 'omg im on a diet I must eat everything in sight' moment this afternoon. So I bought a curly wurly and had it with a cuppa tea. Lovely :) And I like nailstars idea of freezing it too. I dont think I will have one everyday, but...

Well meaning people huh? the ones who think a comment or observation will 'make someone change'. I had a similar experience when I met my OH's mother for the first time years ago. He was in the kitchen helping her make a cuppa when I heard her say 'oooh your cousin Susan had the same affliction...

Aww thats brilliant, I can get inventive with soups! So, if I made a 0 point soup and added say low fat plain yoghurt for example I can count the point of the yoghurt and that would be that :) Thanks for your replies.

You sound just like me! I am a picker, and more often than not I don't even realise i'm doing it. It occurred to me yesterday that the things I pick at don't even make it onto a plate lol (straight from the fridge). I find myself often over the last 2 days thinking at intervals-hmmm what can i...

I am new to WW and sorry to say I have a ton of questions and its a whole 6 days away till my next meet! But, not that I am saying the leaflet lies, but a WHOLE curly whirly is just 3 points? So I can sit down with a cuppa this afternoon and have one and not feel guilty? :eek: because really i'm...

Can someone tell me if the following recipe would be classed as a O point soup please? Carrots Leeks garlic Salt pepper dried coriander leaves (1 tbs) 1 oxo cube large saucepan of water All boiled up and put in the blender :) Can I class any 0 point vegetable whizzed up to become soup like...

Hello, I have 7 stone to lose and right now (I am on day 2) it feels like a huge challenge!! This is the first time I have done WW and its all bit confusing at the moment, but I am hoping soon it will be second nature :)

Hi flumpet, I have about 7 st to lose. My first class was yesterday, and even though I was nervous it was a really good experience in that I felt I could do this! Over the years I have tried everything from lipotrim to atkins, but I think the only thing that will work for me is something that...

My first day went well (I think!), although the evening munchy monster kicked in and even though I knew it was my head talking and not my stomach it was hard to ignore. This week is a 'hairy' shopping week, in that I had already done it before I got to WW yesterday. So its a case of using what i...

I am new to WW, my first meeting was yesterday, so I am still taking things in! I have seen the recipe for the 0 point soup, and it looks lovely. My question is, can we use any 0 point vegetable to make a soup? I have just chopped up a load of carrots and leeks (both 0 points) to throw in a pot...

I'm a tuesday weigh in too. My first meeting was yesterday :)

Me too, but it usually tends to happen at the TOM. Its a case of a few squares of chocolate or I kill someone!

I would be too! She needs to be tucked up in bed bless her. I feel this way about sats. My son has his next week (year 6) and all I have heard is sats this sats that, even letters from the school encouraging parents to 'help there children revise'. They are children! All these tests and pressure...

Hi Sparks :) Have you started WW already? I had my first meeting today, and it was surprisingly less daunting that I thought it would be! On day one, my head tells me I'm starving, but my stomach is keeping out of it :P Good luck with your journey :)

Hi There, This is my first WW meeting today (was nerve racking but I enjoyed it!). I am starting at 16st5lb. I think I have done ok today, but may have over compensated my points, ie added extra points for fear of going over! I'm sure I will get into the routine, blatantly starving right now...

This whole 'putting on weight' business has been creeping up slowly, and the more it crept the more I ignored! I have got to a point in my life where yo yo just doesn't happen any more, there was a time when I could be 10 stone, then it crept up but was lost again after a life change. Now I fear...

Hello everyone, I am new here :) I am approaching the big 40 (closer to it than to 30!) and know its time to kick myself up the backside and lose the 10 year post pregnancy weight! I am not planning to follow a specific diet (not sure which board to put myself), as I am on a tight budget and...
