Thanks. I think a stricter diet will help. I found weight watchers too open. I also had trouble working the points into my nightshifts.

I'm going to try Dukan. I've tried weight watchers. I managed it 7 years ago but now with kids I need something different. Recent weight watchers attempts have failed. I've downloaded the dukan book and hopefully will get through a lot of it through the weekend. Hope to get to know you and...

Monday nightshirt 1 cup. Much to my colleagues amusement

I bought it because it was 50p. Lol

I'm in. I have some twinings. It's got orange and camomile in it though. Will that be okay

Its time!!!! Im back to be reinvented into a slimmer fitter girlie. My first weign in was Tuesday and though it was only half a pound its kick started something. The disapointement in myself was imense as i know I didnt put my all into the first week but that was then. I bought a w/w...

Any particular brand or type? What kind do you use?

Does anyone know the points value of a packet of extra strong mints. The trebor ones.:D

Jeeeeeeeeeeez. Thats not good. Thanks:cry::D

But now we have found each other this love affair may be short lived. My friend informed me they are high in sat fats. What would the damage be points wise?

If im being honest, I havent used it much since the original post but I have been going to the gym and running. I will go back to it though, I really liked it.

What about a good sports bra hun. Or would that affect your milk supply. Thats a shame

How we all doing chicks. I have to confess to not having been very good this week.. I havent been out running as I had a sore tummy and sore back (also had thrush) and I dont mean a wee bird. I have been very snacky but I feel that I can get back on track but I fear it might be too late to...

Me too. This the first major set back and i am a bit upset but confident that I can get back ontrack tomorrow. Hope you dad is okay,

I get weighed on Thursday, I will post then. Last week I got weighed on the Monday. I then changed my class to the Thursday class and they weighed me again and I lost another half pound. So it will be this Thursday again before I can post a figure for the teams. Heres hoping for a loss.

Its so easy to eat 2 pasties. Imagine, all those points.

I dont get that though, I thought I had been adding them by copying and pasting on the thread. Am I not doing it right?

I had pm'd the first two then posted my second one. I thought I had been posting it right.

Hi ladies, I am having a great time so far. I joined a running club tonight which was a big step for me because I am awful at running, I have no stamina. I have had 2 weigh ins, both losses. 3lbs in total. Im full of beans and totally positive about weight loss and life. I also tried...

I could see that. I do yoga anyway and find some of the poses are held for quite a bit longer than we do at the classes. Thanks for the heads up!:D

I avoid the balance ones too except the ski jump, I like that one. My favourite is the hula hoop one. I feel that one is making a difference to my jelly belly and last night I unlocked the aerobic boxing one which was brill. My arms are a bit achy today so I was doing something right.

Where were you thinking of having the party. Is it in the city centre? Im a bit lost after that, I know Port Dundas and Pollokshaws Road, where First Ford used to be.

Thanks Hun, Here we go. I will have my first weigh in on Monday so I wont have any thing to add to the figures till a week on monday. Im going out for dinner tonight but I not going to drink so I can get up early tomorrow while the kids are away and have a mental tidy up.:8855:

cheers, im team 1 then. :D

Can I be in a team please.

I just got mines today and wondered how other people were getting on if they had one. IM quite impressed. My time to get to the gym is limited,as Im working and have two wee kiddies so im here there and everywhere. So for me, to get me started the wii fit seems like a good idea. Maybe as I get...

I would like to go for a stone by then please.

Here we go then ladies!!! Lets do it. Im sick of the cycle of losing a bit, gaining a bit, losing a bit. The bit that goes on is always bigger than the bit that came off.

I hadnt seen this, sorry. Offer still on?:D

Im back again. (how many times now). Ive had a great Christmas albiet it run up wasnt so good. I lost a bit of weight when I was ill with the cold and it made me feel so good to fit into a pair of jeans that previously I had been unable to. So yesterday, the wee leaflet from weight...

It must be a son thing, my daughter is quite happy but Joe seems hellbent on pushing my buttons. He is so cute though.:8855:

aww well, 15 mins is better than nothing. Well done for trying!

Im trying to be very aware of my snacky habits and I dont mean my snacks. I mean eating a wee bit of toast after my toddlers announced he wont eat it, declining a sweetie from my daughter. I never say no!! So today I have been very aware. Does anyone else struggle with this.

Well done on your half pound. Its natural to be disapointed, but please keep with it, next week will soon be here.

Good luck !!!

thanks Karen, Im still no further forward, just getting fatter. Where did my motivation go.:(

Im back!! Ive not been very good, fell off the bandwagon but im back on it. I was ill and the kids were ill. I dont think Ive done a lot of damage but I certainly wont have lost any weight. Glad to be back, everyone is well again and Joe is sleeping through the night again (as well as he...

Im using ticker factory. If you click on my signature it will take you to the site.

you wee darling! what a good channel

Im in. I get weighed tomorrow so can I use that. I aim to lose 10lb by the end of september.

up at the top left corner there is a bit that says user cp. Click on that then down the left hand side there are bits that say edit profile, edit signature etc. Go in there are you should see where to put things. Im not the best person at explaining these things but have a go and see how you...

hope you feel better soon, there is nothing worse than feeling rough

Is is weight watchers you are going to use?

Its so enlightening to see how eating crap can affect you. I feel crabby, tired and spoiling for a fight today!haha, oh is glad he is at work.

Typical, a week in and my resolve it slipping. Im off this week with the kids so im very snacky. I havent been outrageous but I took them to Macdonalds last night and got a big mac and chips. I can tell you though that I felt rough after it. Not good but today Im feeling not very well, wee...

I have lost 2 inches off my waist since last wednesday. I dont know about my weight, havent weighed myself yet but im chuffed. 42 down to 40. I will need to delete me waist ticker though as I can seem to change the inches though I can with my weight one. Weird.

if this rain keeps up I think we might all be living on boats. Thats a fab weightloss

has any one tried the koppenberg pear cider and does anyone know the points? Im not really a coider drinker but that stuff was tasty. startlight, why the six bottles???hehe

Keep with it hun, make a nice shopping list and try and identify where you are going wrong, get new things that you dont usually eat. Is there something like a dress or top you want to wear but are quite close to fitting into to keep you going. Its hard but it will be worth it. Think of a...

whhaaaat, 9 inches is a lot. Im really pleased for you and I bet tommo is as well. Are you being smug with him? hehe.

Mmm, that sounds tasty!

summer! whats summer??

9lb, bloody hell, thats fab!

so far so good. My saviour just now are the slim fast shakes for lunch. Thats where Im saving my points! The slim fast things like the snacks (pretzels) are yummy. I then have my w/w meals at tea time. Breakfast is some fruit or a weetabix. Im off work now for 10 days so I should be...

Thats my time when I am most likely to eat. That and after dinner. When my mouth starts it doesnt seem to want to stop. Water is a great help though I drank that much today I felt a bit sick.

I know, its shocking, ive work to go to in the morning.

Hi folks, this was my first day back on the diet. I have been very good, had a banana for brekkie, a slimfast shake for lunch and a w/w lasagne for dinner. Then a wee 1pt biccie withmy cup of tea. 11pts so far, maybe 12 if you think about the milk I had with my coffees. My sister bought me a...

Oh I know Busby, I used to work for Wylies on Pollokshaws Road. Its gone now sadly.

Good luck to you to!!

go for it! Thats so cool he plays in a band.

what age is she, I wonder if I know her? Im 31, oh is 36

My husbands family are from Kilwinning. Now made famous by mikey from big brother, hehe

Hiya, Are any of you peeps lucky enough to come from Ayrshire in Scotland:D More specificly, Saltcoats! (im not going to get any replies now am I, hehe)

Thanks Karen, Im super motivated, Im going to see the feeling and Alphabeat in the next few months and I want to be able to wear my funky clothes, not my tummy hiding stuff.

Hiya ladies, l Im back for more. My weight has been creeping and creeping up and I am now just dreadful looking. My muffin top seems to be getting bigger, like one of those comedy cakes. Im going to take some pics this time so I can see how I look compared to how I am going to look. I was...

MMMMM, angel delight. It doesnt matter how old you get , it always tastes great. Own up! Who licks the bowl?

Thanks guys, Im going to give weight watchers a serious go just now and if in 6 weeks I havent lost a stone then I will go and see her. I know what you mean about going to the other cdc's in other places till she comes back but Im not into going far especially out of my own area to see someone...

I will need to rethink, thanks for the above ideas though.

The only cdc close by is going on holiday for 6 weeks, next week. So basically I cannot start it. She recommended one in Paisley or Newton Mearns but thats too far away. So bascially, thats it. Finito!:mad:

Thanks for the replies, the cdc I got in touch with yesterday didnt get back to me but there was another number and it seems more local to me so Im going to try that once oh has gone to work. I will seek you out ayrshire cdc!!! hahaha

Hiya, Anyone on here from Ayrshire. I was just wondering who you were and who your cdc was? Thanks Laura

Thanks for your replies. My bmi is 28.5, im only 5ft though so being 10lb 8 makes me look big. I hope its not cash, if it is though I can just pay my avon by credit card and use that money for cd. OOOOH, im a bad lady. I cant wait to get started. Hope everyone else is getting on well.

Im taking the next step. Im going to phone tomorrow and try to get the ball rolling. Ive a few questions. When do I pay and how much do I pay? Ive just tried to switch credit cards to pay for it. Dh wont entertain it. I wont have my new one for probably a week and even then I might still...

What about a senna tea, are you allowed to drink that.

Good luck hana, I havent started cd yet and am still looking into it but im sure its the right one and will get the ball rolling tomorrow and phone the nearest councillor. I hope your good attitude sees you through

I could coffee but I couldnt tea. It wouldnt be tea then, haha.

Hi Janey, I was reading your posts, I hope you dont mind if I ask you a few wee questions. Is the lighter life expensive? Cost for me is an issue at the moment, but Im sure I could get it from somewhere. Also, would they take me on as im 10st 8lb but I am only 5ft so have at least 2 stone to...

Poor you. Sounds like it will take a bit of getting used to. Can you still drink tea or coffee in a decafe form while on this.

cheers, to cut a long story short, its a drink made up of a type of maple syrup, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and water. Thats all you drink all day and water. You take a laxative tea at night then have a salt water drink (blurggggh) in the morning. The salt water drink is supposed to flush...

Thats great that you have finally got the ball rolling. If I had the cash I would be right there with you but im going to go with the master cleanse and see how I do with that. Just think of how good you are going to feel when it starts coming off. Ive lost a lot of weight pre pregnancy and...

Hi everyone, Sorry I havent been on, things have been so busy at home but the time I get to sit down I just crash. I havent been back to my meetings, just missed the 1 since my last post but Im not sure if I am cut out for the points system. I am definately eating far more healthly and I am...

I love gardening. My problem is wasps though so this year OI have started taking Actonite. Im still wary of them but I can control the irational fear that sends me running from the garden. I will come back later and post more about what I have done so far but its good to hear what other...

No, im not posting in the wrong bit, haha. I have been gardeing like a mad woman lately and I done loads on Sunday. Well, I ache from top to toe and feel really energized. It must have been like a big workout. I just didnt realise how much it would take out of me.

FOUR STONE!!!!!!!!!!! Well done hunny, thats brill.

hi everyone. After dreading the weigh it, it was cancelled at short notice. Unfortuantly it was because the leaders oh was in hospital so I wont say it was a blessing but it does give me a week to track and redeem myself. If the meeting was cancelled does that mean we dont pay for the missed...

welcome and good luck

Some of it was counted and some of it not. Oh cripes.

Good luck with the section bea. At least we dont need to worry about tears and grazing. Oucho.

My head is fine thank, im my worst enemy. Ive not been that good this week. There has been wine and pizza. Im not on track at all and Im going to get my backside kicked on Monday. I havent kept a tracker like I said I would. Not that it would make for happy reading anyway. Im beginning to...

I dont really know much the diet, i am weight watchers and thinking of a change,

the incentive is there, but you need to find the willpower., sorry that sounded mean. I ts so very hard.

This weigh in was not good. I stayed the same and the leader said it was a bit early into the diet for me to be staying the same. The thing is, I know she is right. My motivation has dipped as I was dispaointed. I pointed really well last week, i felt that alcohol aside I had done very...

I think its going to take a lot of willpower to get over this bit. When you get into these situations you are going to have to focus so hard on your goal. I know this isnt easy but once you have done it a few times you will be empowered by the fact you can say no. You are in charge, not the...

On my ipod, anything with a solid fast beat is good, there are some songs that just get me walking faster. I have to admit to being a closet Cascada fan. Havent told my hubby yet though.

Sounds like a lovely day. Do you think the wii fit is good? I was wanting one for my birthday but with these things im never sure if they are good or just a fad. What do you think?

aww Nikki, Im not too good today. We went out last night and had 'a few'. My head is thumping. It was vodkas though, not beer. Im not sure how this is going to affect my weigh in tomorrow night. Yikes.

20 quid, jeeez, thats a lot. The one I had was a freebie. Still not sure it worked right though.

Its a wonderfull feeling to go down a size. Well done.

I havent been doing it as I dont have a ped any more but when I had a loan of one last year I managed the 10,000 easily. Im chasing 2 wee ones around but even then I wondered if the ped worked right. Good luck ladies, hopefully the weather will be nice to help you along.

Im still being good. Im writing everything down, preparing lunches for work that are pointed and not giving into temptations. After work today, I dropped the car off at home and walked too my mums, got Joe then walked home with him in his pram. Im pretty tired now but it was worth it. I must...

Im sure you must have burnt off some good points. This weather makes it so easy to excersise, IM dreading the winter and rain.

Even at 18, your body will still be changing and maturing and thats maybe why your clothes arent as comfy as they used to be. This might seem daft too, but clothes themselves are as well made as the used to be and I honestly believe clothes shrink and loose their shape a bit. Im crap at...

I shave mine with hubbys mach 3 (my own blade) and his shave king for sensitive skin gel.

I like the avon minerals powder that you just dust on. I was rather sceptical at first but im won over now.

Please dont be put off. I found it difficult as I have zero co-ordination but I kept going back and eventually started to get it. I dont really go anymore (gym isnt on at child friendly hours). When I did get it I still couldnt do the arm movements, they kinda flapped around at the side...

oooh, that sounds lush.

Thats awful, its worse that its just for the sake of it.

I though I better start a diary. Im really enjoying ww and the forum too. Its good to know there is a wee life line that I can come onto when ever the going gets tough which though it isnt just now, I know it will. Its like having a meeting in my living room, haha. Today I have been very...

Hiya, welcome to the forum and good luck. Its great to feel it come off.

Im sure at work we are allowed 5 days unpaid leave for child related problems like yours. It shouldnt affect things like your attendance bonus though. TBH, i have threw to odd sick day when the kids have been ill so I could get paid......:eek: I would start keeping a diary though of...

thats awful, why should you be made to feel guilty. Its not like you naffed off for the whole day and the circumstances were pretty unique. I hope he isnt too bad with the chickenpox. Ive 2 and for a while they seemed to get everything going. I hope the meeting with the boss goes well...

I can imagine that doing that would work pretty well. If doing that gets rid of my pouch tummy then im up for that too.:D

I dont know scientifically, but after doing bums and tums class I felt a tightening. If I had stuck at it i am sure there would have been a big difference. I have had 2 sections as well and my tummy is like a bouncy castle. I have resigned myself to the fact it will never be flat but I...

Im sorry to read about your loss. I hope you get some inspiration to continue when you are ready to do so. Laura x

Hiya, I just joined last night, starlight pointed me in the right direction to the weight watchers part of the forum. :) Im a mum of 2 pre school kids who themselves are fussy eaters. Its hard to concentrate on my eating when Im struggling to get them to eat. I lost over 2 stone 5...
