I have eaten more today and will today. Had pizza today. Feels strange 'cheating' on purpose and will be having a chinese buffet tomorrow. Even if it causes me to put on a bit of weight initially, then it should 'reset' my metabolism. The problem is I haven't been eating much on the days I...

I am going on holiday in September. I am thinking of wearing a tankini, which as I see as a sort of compromise.

Thanks as well Starlight. I shall look at at the variety of my diet.

Thanks Lydia - I'm going to try 2 first. If I try doing kickstart I won't cope at the gym. I tend to burn about fifteen points on top of the 21 points allowed. I don't use the extra points to begin with. I would rather try eating a bit more first, however if that doesn't work then I'll go for 1.

I was wondering if anybody could offer me some advice on getting my weight loss shifting again. I have lost just over two stone so far and have another two stone to go. I haven't gone over on points on Core (the 21) and I have earnt fourteen points through exercise. I haven't used any of...

Mine are just the same! Starting to get noticed by the boys at work as I have lost weight but breasts haven't reduced in size much. I'm a female engineer and work in a very male dominate environment. Doesn't do anything for me as I have a lovely other half anyway. In fact I find it...

I'm doing Core. I've found it quite easy because I have gone cold turkey on things like mayo. I just don't have it. I use Heinz Sandwhich Spread, which is 0.5 points for a serving. I have cut out crisps, cakes, chocolate, etc out of my diet altogether. I use Paul McKenna CDs to motivate...

Personally going by the last post, I would not find the time to do five days of intense exercise a week. I consider 3/4 enough, however for my four, I usually do 1 hour and twenty minutes. It's all I can manage timewise.

I've said that I don't use all of my points. I am actually on Core and not points plan, however I don't use all the ones I earn through exercise though usually get through 20 or 21 of the ones allowed before exercise.

I had four stone to lose. I have so far lost two stone in two and a half months. The weight loss is slowing down a bit. The only week I didn't lose, I was ill. I upped my food intake on purpose for that week and stayed the same, I didn't put weight on. I would consider it unrealistic for...

Have you tried the Core plan?

I much prefer the Yeo Valley virtually fat free. Much tastier than than Mullerlights though I am quite happy to have a Muller light if I can't get hold of the Yeo Valley. Only Sainsbury seem to do the virtually fat free ones round our end.

I haven't started one yet but I thought I would start one now to help me record more my thoughts as and when I need during the trials and tribulations of my weightloss. It's more to do with the psychological aspects so that I can keep a record. I ended up 'falling off the wagon' as it were...

Chav TV for the unemployed and students.

Sorry! I meant threw not through.

When I was walking along a road once, somebody slowed down and through a container of water over me! Happens to the best of us! I have lost enough weight that nobody really calls me names for being overweight but I have had the 'heads in one postcode and bums in another' before. It is very...

Not doing CD but WW Core, however the same issues affect everyone!

That's us both! I had a huge barney with my adorable other half this week and I ended up eating too much food. It was too much of the healthy stuff rather than bad food but it still has exactly the same effect. I've learnt that I need to put in place coping strategies for emotional eating.

Not a chance am I happy being a porker. I can't do the things I like to do. I am quite an active person though I don't look it. I go to the gym, I enjoy fell walking and I used to run. However I got into a new relationship a couple of years back and along with that came a lifestyle change...

I had a huge barney with my adorable other half. I was being a cow! I fell of the wagon this week and in future will put in place a strategy to prevent emotional eating. It wasn't BAD food I ate, it was too much good food. I am still on line for a weight loss though. This is my first wobble...

Hi there! I'm doing WW Core. For me not only is the whole weight loss thing about getting to grips with eating less, it's about the whole attitude and the mental aspects of losing weight but not only that - keeping it off! I can't get my head around VLCD. I understand if you have a LOT to...

Thank you all!

My 'naughty' food is a chicken kebab - pitta bread, salad and the chicken but without the calorific sauces. I use lemon juice instead. I can easily point this on WW. If I want to be even healthier I get a salad pitta - just the pitta bread with salad and I love it with tuna. Mmmmmm!:p

I'm enjoying an ice cold diet cherry coke right now!:p

Please don't take this the wrong way. I find it tiresome having to scroll through endless lengthy signatures.

Now you come to mention it. Mine have put in a reappearance. I never thought about it until now.

My trigger to lose weight is the fact that I am going on holiday in September with my lovely other half. My lovely other half has said very little about my weight directly but I know that he wasn't happy with it. He is a gym bunny and keeps himself very fit. He doesn't understand why people...

Isn't that many calories too low? I would rather have more calories and be able to enjoy doing the exercise.

You musn't give up after your first go! I did my first step class a couple of months ago. I have the co-ordination of a drunk chimpanzee. I hated it, felt very self conscience but I kept going back and bit by bit you pick up the routines. I still have the same experience when she introduces...

I do three classes a week - step, spinning and studio strength (a combination of body combat, spinning and free weights) plus a general gym session. I do 30 mins cross trainer, 10 mins climber, 10 mins rowing machine and 10 mins on a machine called Wave (a bit like a bilateral thightrainer).

I've given myself sore muscles with the jogging. Does anybody wear trainers/running shoes when they do it, or do people to the jogging thing in bare feet?

Hi Mon1cat, how are things going?

Boy! Is my relationship in trouble!:D

I'm doomed! I am addicted to diet coke/diet pepsi.

I think your other half was trying to help in a bloke sort of way. A loss is a loss. I fell off the wagon this week and I am expecting a small weight loss, if one at all. I would be chuffed if I lost a pound this week. You know what to do. Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and get...

When I do the visiting parents thing I simply take my own food and eat that. I have the same problem. They eat very fatty food and I don't like eating what they do so I do some shopping before I go and I take my own food like a Morrison's Salad (with the healthy things) and some cottage cheese...

In future as far as Weightwatchers is concerned, as well as the Points Plan there is also the Core Plan. You don't count points but eat a low fat healthy diet, made up mainly unprocessed foods, but the point is it works on the principle of "If you are hungry then eat something."

Paul McKenna's "I Can Make You Thin System" uses the principle of Intuitive Eating. Google it if you want to know more. I use it in conjuction with the WW Core Plan because they both use the Hunger Scale and work on the same principles and I find they complement each other. I listen to the...

Make sure you are getting your iron too! In the next three months, my goal is to lose a stone and a half.

Hi Everyone :wave_cry: I joined today and thought I would introduce myself. Doing a triple combination of WW Core Plan, intuitive eating and listening to Paul McKenna's CDs from his 'I Can Make You Thin' system. So far everything seems to be working!

I have a pair of size 12 jeans that I used to wear. Can't wait to fit back into these.

I'm new too. Have just joined today. I am doing a mixture of WW Core with intuitive eating elements to it and so far have lost 1st 7lbs. Have another 2 st 7 lbs to go before I reach a healthy BMI.
