Hi shakira. I had a lot of success on the old weightwatchers points programme before I got pregnant but haven't had much luck since. I'm finding good old fashioned calorie counting and cutting my carb intake down has helped! Hope this helps x

Thank you Tracy :) x

Thank you ladies. Best of luck to you both too. Let me know how you are getting on :) x

Hello! I'm relatively new to CC and do use MFP but have always found minimins a more friendly forum. Having tried weight watchers and slimming world I find that CC is the perfect balance of being allowed to eat what I like and discipline...if that makes sense! My average daily intake is 1600...

I have three girls named Peppa, Holly and Daisy...named by my 3yr old daughter! I do love my piggies but Peppa is not keen on being handled! Xx

Hi I'm back on minimins again after some time away. I was doing weightwatchers but it doesn't work for me. I'm hoping to find some people that are in the same boat as me and create a support network to help each other. I have 4 stone to lose at the very least to get to my initial target weight...

Hiya I'm returning to minimins after a fairly long time away. I need all the encouragement I can get!! I already have a daughter who is 4 next month and we are hoping to start trying for baby number two. I have at least 4 stone to lose. I have tried slimming world and weightwatchers but they do...

Hi everyone. I am restarting slimming world as of monday and need all the support I can get! I am currently 18 stone 10lbs - still 13lbs under my heaviest weight :) x

Thankyou Sparty. I seem to be really focused this week so lets hope it stays that way. Burnt 501 cals on the wii fit last night but my calf muscles are paying for it today!! x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I was utterly shocked to discover at weightwatchers this morning that I'd lost 3.5lb over xmas/new year! I definately put that down to the wii fit and swapping potato for butternut squash!! x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Happy New Year everyone! x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hello all. I so wish I had found you sooner! I started back on weightwatchers before xmas and am doing ok. I've got loads of friends who keep telling me not to bother until after new year and to carry on stuffing to 'get it out of my system' but i don't want to. I need tough love though! X

I can completely relate to this. I lost loads of weight before i got pregnant, only gained 7lbs during, but have gained 4 stone in the 33 months since and was really struggling. I have decided that 2013 WILL be my year. I suffer with back problems because of the epidural so I find exercise a...

Dan I am exactly the same! I have decided that this is the last time! I took a good look at myself and really thought anout how unhappy I am. I also stop and think if I really want that chocolate bar or those crisps rather than just grabbing and not thinking like I did before. It seems to be...

Aw thankyou Dan. Hope it works for us xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Me too! The propoints just isn't doing it for me. I think its a shame that weightwatchers don't do much for people following the old plan. I think keeping a few of the meetings as the old plan would have really been good but as my leader said, its all about propoints now so people following...

I'm struggling also. Just got back into it and halfway through the week the dreaded sore throat and cold strikes so now I am feeling very sorry for myself and am finding it hard to find much healthy stuff to eat without it hurting! Well done on your losses so far! xx

Hi Bellabella. I'm restarting with weightwatchers also, but I 'm doing Discovery as I can't get along with propoints! I am the same; eating when bored and with a huge sweet tooth. My best advice to you is sugar free jelly! Its 0 pp and hits the sweet tooth right between the eyes. Its quite...

I couldn't get on with slimming world at all! It was fine for a week then after that I really struggled. Even with weightwatchers, the ProPoints plan does nothing for me so I am back to following Discovery!! Best of luck to you all!!! xx

Welcome shrinkingannie! Of course u can, the more the merrier! I've done pretty much every diet going but weightwatchers is the only thing that works. Im so happy you want to be part of this. Its shaping up to be quite a support network!!! Melissa, thankyou for making the list hun :) xx

Hi hun. I restarted recently too. Like you, I keep losing motivation but its got to a point now where I am at my heaviest ever and am so desperately unhappy with it. I find that looking through the other thread and joining the weight watchers uk page of facebook have helped me. There are some...

I weigh on a saturday on the weightwatchers plan. I've been a member since April but only recently started using the forums so any help, advice or support is greatly received!! Feel free to add me xx

Hi All. So, its around 10 weeks til Christmas and I coulndn't see any challenge threads relating to Christmas so I thought I would start one. We all want to look as good as possible in our party dresses so why not join this challenge and help eachother?? :)

Hi hun. Ive got an iphone but happy to buddy up. I decided on following propoints but i'll definately help u on discovery as much as poss as i did it before. Im starting officially today even though i was loosely following it last week and lost 3lb amazingly!! xx

Hi all. I followed the old plan before falling pregnant in 2009. I have followed the propoints plan since april 2010 but i cannot get on with it so I'm going old school. Feel free to add me! I can't remember much about the old plan so I daresay I will be using these forums alot!!

Thanks hun x

I lost 3 1/2 stone pre pregnancy with the old plan and pro points is not for me but I am having endless difficulties in finding the pack and booklets to start again :sigh: Can anyone help? Thanks!
