Well I have had a go and it certainly looks the nonsense. Thanks for help.x

Well that's another 1lb done and dusted. 8lb off since I started. Slowly getting there but I wasn't seeing anything moving on WW so am feeling more hopeful on SW. Good luck everyone this week x

Thanks Mini, I lost 1lb last night so 8lb off in total. Slow going but it wasn't shifting on WW so felt the need for a change. I need to find a challenge on here....need to catch up with whats going on. x

Evening everyone, I have some left over boiled ham and a bag of mushy peas that is screaming to be made into soup. Does anyone have a failsafe recipe that is nice and simple. By the way I don't like lumpy veggie things so the more "blended" the better for me lol. many thanks in advance.

OMG, I can't believe I missed the news we were back! fantabulous as I have swapped plans to SW from WW so can now get loads of info from you lovely lot. So chuffed.:D

Well after a month out of class...shifts and an all Inc to lanzarote I am back to 11.12. Never mind downwards and onwards now. Hope everyone is feeling positive. I have catching up to do on here.

It's working 24 hrs straight through. Adds another day to the week!! I'm on it though don't you worry! Thanks for the cheerleader :))

Oh for gawds sake. Another 0.5 on. Not happy with how this is going...getting a bit ridiculous! Right grump on but also big pot of veg soup. Good luck ladies xx

Curly wurlies 3pp Quavers/wotsits 2pp A girls got to have a treat :)

C'mon, jan is over so we need this months challenge. Sue 5lb off for Feb please.

I'm 11.9 and desperately want to se 10 first!!

New challenge on then

Good cos I put on 1 lb. Not happy when I was as good as last week and I lost 4 lb then anyway...For feb I want 5 lbs off!!

Well ladies... are we doing a feb one?

I have news to announce....4lb off. Would have been better if I hadn't put 3lb on last week but there we are.

I drank strongbow and not even enough to get a good headache. And I weighed 2 days after. As you say...strange. Monday here I come!!

Well 2nd WI... Disaster!! Put on 3lb. What the h5ll?? Kept right on track and kept weeklies for a drink on Sat. Does using your weeklies on alcohol affect weight loss? I have done pp's off and on long enough to know what is a deserved loss/gain and am very realistic about it however this has...

I would post a diary but just am not committed enough to post regularly enough:rolleyes: I have posted that I want a stone off but on a lot of similar ladies stats I'm thinking should I go for closer to 2 maybe. Thinking though at 50 maybe I need a bit of "cushioning" on my face if you get my...

We need your start weight and age I think to work it out. I'm not sure how to work it out personally but I'm sure someone here can help you. Good luck x

I am not giving in. Back to it to see what I can do before the end of the month. Well done everyone x

I have just spoilt our copy book. Put 3 lbs on. Absolutely gutted. Been good all week. Did have a drink on weekend but used weeklies even had 2 ..yes 2 diet cokes . Devastated...which is just ridiculous in the big scheme. Just am though. Sorry ladies. Back to it though.x

Got another night shift tonight and one Sunday. Hoping it doesn't sabotage me.have a great weekend girlies x

Everything crossed for you hon xx

Lack of exercise is my problem at minute. I used to live in the gym,competed too but just can't get back into it. lots of niggly problems like back and knee issues don't help. Diet just have to do for now :(

I think its just over 32lbs!!!!

I keep doing this for holibobs but I want to get to point where it's not feast n famine if u get my drift. Just get to a weight I think is realistic and maintain it. So sooo hard. X

Next week hon. You're going to be in!!

It doesn't help that's for sure. I'm days this week so it's easier but I have picked up some nights as overtime. Lanzarote is looming lol

Oh might have to look at these as not keen on WW ones as I think the skin is too thick. Let us know what they're like:thankyou:

Tunnocks snowballs only 3 pp I think. I really like the Asda/Tesco etc own brand wafers. Usually 5 in a pack around 50p and only 2pp each. low pp and cheap. got to love it. Also Lidl own fat free yogs only 31p and 2pp. Just make sure you pick up the fat free ones not regular ones. I agree we...

Well done. I think a lot of us, especially those who are new to WW are surprised at just how much you can eat on this and it takes a little while to "Trust " it all. Have a great 2nd week x

I tend not to use my weeklies, well not regularly anyway so I always use my WI day as a treat day. Nothing too crazy usually but today I have a small roast beef dinner that I didn't have yesterday followed by one of the "new" pastries from Lidl with low fat icecream. MMMMmmm can't wait for OH to...

Wow, well done!! 3.5lbs off for me so pleased with that as I have been on nights and that just adds extra hours to your day that you are awake to eat!

I don't know what the h5ll it means but love that saying lol.x

maybe writing it all down could help..... hope you are ok?

Hi hon, it depends on your start weight. 26 pp is the minimum with everyone having another 49 weeklies for "extras". Hopefully someone with a bit more know how will be able to help but they will need your start weight. Lots of people on here don't go to class and use this fab site in place of it...

11.9 for me today:D

Wow ,what a weigh in we are having ladies x:talk017:

3.5 off for me if someone could be kind enough to update for me. Really pleased as 5 night shifts have played havoc with me.good luck to everyone x

Not posting a loss (see very determined lol) til Monday but god I am being angelic at the minute. Just felt the need to big myself up lol

Feel like I need a hummer bonnet but intend to head for maybe a nice sleek lambo lol

Good luck hon. As u know it's all in the planning x

I also eat loads of fruit especially as I don't like veg. It's always up for debate on whether it slows weight loss down.

Hi all, I rejoined yesterday as missed classes before xmas due to work. Its always nice to get in on the offers. 5lb on for me but we will get where we need to be. This place helps so much, as I always say its very difficult to make a chip butty and type at the same time lol

C'mon peeps. I cant be the only Monday weigherererer;)

I felt much the same . 1st WI yesterday and 5lb on. Gutted but still am well aware it could have been worse. However it does sort of focus the old brain matter doesn't it. I made a huge pot of veg soup, just a bag of frozen casserole veg with 2 extra chopped onions,1 x med sized pot and couple...

By the skin of my teeth lol. However, the proverbial car bonnet now has me on it:D

Hi Loopy can you add me . whenever I have done this in past I also "ahem" rearrange things :o 8lb is my goal for Jan x

Oh Lord. 5 lbs on. 11.12.5. Nearly out of 11 but wrong way!!

Well 5 lb on...Suppose it could have been worse. 11.12.5.only one way I'm going from here..and it's most definetly not up!!

Ahaaaa

Thanks everyone. Not looking forward to it I have to say...just got to bite the bullet and get on with it. Not best week to go back as I have 4 night shifts this week which pretty much just equate to an extra couple of days worth of food:(

Have a browse on WW site but im pretty sure its pointed.Still better than a bag of chips though hon x

Just wanted to post my 1000th post :D

Following!It helps to see other peoples snack ideas , im always snacking so therefore always on look out for something new. Keep up the good work hon x

Well back to class tomorrow and will totally refresh/update my stats for fresh start. 10's look out...I'm coming for you!!

Off topic, what does the "here to subscribe" mean. is it just that you follow the posts. I tend to to read lots of posts from same people, yourselves included but didn't know what to subscribe entailed....duh!

I have always stuck with points then PP, I haven't looked into any of the other ww options. I struggle a bit as I don't eat any veg. I DO eat salad but it has to be covered in dressing. However I do eat a lot of fruit. I would struggle to allow myself a reasonable portion of bread, my thinking...

Count me in. I WI tomorrow so don't know my actual start weight ( have a pretty flaming good idea its not pretty though ) but would be ecstatic to be 7 lbs down by 31st. Can you add me please X

I am back at class tomorrow so I will be interested to see what the news is. I am rejoining as its cheaper than paying for missed classes so I will get the new set up im guessing.

Hi, I think if you use the whole fruit its 0pp's but in juicing the fibre is left isn't it so you have to count pp's. Pretty sure juicing has to be counted but not 100% sure my reasons why are sorry:o Reading this back im not sure its totally helpful lol... I tried though x

Well I have not really committed to a WI day as due to shifts I have changed between 3 classes on 3 different days however.... I can now commit to a pretty regular Monday meeting... I think. I go back to class on Monday after a couple of weeks off, again due to shifts. I will prob rejoin as its...

I have to agree with all the above,both OP and replies. Ladies we have to suck it up and get on with it. This is my year for Tough love, hoping it works where other things haven't (tough love for myself not all you lot of lovelies) I was 50 this year and I made a decision that I was going to be...

Well I go back to class tomorrow, think will just rejoin as its on offer so works out cheaper after couple of weeks of cos of work. I think then I will totally update my stats and have a totally fresh start. I have lerked and posted a couple on ww site but that is still quiet also which has...

Me too. I have been in work over Xmas and have a New Years eve party to get over but that's it for me then too. straight back onto it. Good luck everyone!!

Well we all have a common denominator now.... NEW YEAR! lets get to it! Happy New Year everyone and Good luck x

Hi Both , boards are so so quiet its true. We need to keep on posting and generate some action. Well done on all those lbs off...WOW

Mrs jj you need to look at getting yourself some help. Mental health issues are crippling and you come across as being aware it IS crippling you and and OH. I work in mental health industry and wish that so many of the people I see had only thought of seeking help earlier on. Get your mental...

I have just found this thread and I am so guilty of all the excuses. I only have a few lbs...stone maybe I would love but I keep faffing about losing and putting on same 5/6 lbs. What's the matter with me? Me is what's wrong and I need to stop being a sap and getting on with. Here goes!!

The pork was absolutely lovely. Only downside was that I couldn't slice it as it just fell apart. Will be stocking up on more of this definetly.

in these times of budgeting I have found a fab new (well to me anyway)lean meat. Morrisons sell pork loin.Its in their fresh meat section. I have paid about £2.60 for a chunk about 10" long of nearly fat free pork. I have put it in casserole dish after browning it first. Chopped an onion up...

Well done treacle x

Asda healthier freezer meals ,not sure what they are called are really nice too. Again Chicken hotpot is really lovely. They are only £1 and work out around 6-9 pp for the different options. They do Chinese curry, lasagne think theres a beef hotpot also. And they are larger portions than WW

We need to get this site going a bit.I know SW tends to be busier as WW does have its own site but even WW is a bit quiet. I think prob FB has an impact but I'm not a FB user and like it here.

Well after reaching the "nose bleed " heights of 11.11.1/2 after Lanzarote and my hot tub break I have lost 4.5 this week so well on way back down. thankfully. Only thing is I left my card in class ...duh! Think it leaves at 11.7. I am going to get into the 10's!!!!!

I don't know how to do this. I lost 4.5 this week too but had put on 7.5 cos of my two breaks. Think its still an upward trend..only 1 lb needed til ask with goal range though. Well done to you more consistent peeps tho.x

I am on 26 but also use my weeklies to top it up to 30. It doesn't sound much but it helps and I don't very often use any other weekly points unless its a meal out somewhere. 39 pp is a generous amount for dailies I think so its a good amount of food allowed. As others have said are you sure...

C'mon everyone, me included! (I'm not the most prolific poster myself) its coming to the season of humongous temptation. We all need to be on here posting our thoughts, struggles,achievements, grumbles etc...whatever! whilst we type we can't be eating can we....I can't anyway. I have been...

I haven't been able to Wi due to shifts since my holiday I will post my gain!! On tues. I will go from there. Oh god why do we do this :(

These look and sound fab. May just have to give them a go!

I make lots of smoothies, the ones with a fat free yoghurt and have only ever counted the yoghurt. 99% sure however....we need someone more educated :rolleyes:

I think it's only when juiced the pp changes....However I could be wrong. Very helpful aren't I?

Thanks Sammy but we all know where holibobs leave us....I will be needing 25 lb off not my 19:(

I am tucked up in bed with the dreaded lerg myself and am catching up on here. Keep at it hon I think it can be hard on guys as it's not view as a man's thing...dieting. as you say now you got a little one that you need to be fit and healthy for.keep going monster muncher!!

Thread is quiet. I have been a little up and down weight wise but still in goal range. 11.4 this week so going in right direction. Come on peeps there must be more of us on our way down!

I have lost 1 lb this week. I had a stayed same last week. Trouble is I have a week in lanzarote next tues so will try to Wi Monday. On my phone so could someone please update me. Well done everyone who's lost and to anyone struggling keep at it we will do it!!

This thread is very quiet surely there are more goldies about. Well I got back in range couple of weeks ago and got another 1 lb off this tues. This is generally when I go off track so am determined to keep going and weighing in Trouble is I am off to lanzarote next tues. Hey Ho. ..will still...

Hi the Asda low fat range of freezer meals are only £1 and vary between 6-9pp and are quite a bit bigger than WW. Quite tasty too. I use them for work regularly. Also the Low Low range but I'm not sure who makes them.

I have that babyliss curl thing but I find straighteners make much better curls/waves. You just need to practice . Use lots of Croc clips when you want a fuller look but just a few random waves for a beach head look. Have a fab day Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Wow indeed. Well impressed. Do you mean a ticker? Think that's what they are called. Either way I have no idea how to do it but just read your loss and thought yea...WOW indeed:D

Hope it went ok hon.x

Nope none of those either. Oh well guess I will have to just check out the others but I really liked the other one. thanks anyway ladies x

Most definetly the reason hon. Keep at it!!

No it was just the most basic enter the 4 (?) Values type calculator that's it. Thanks for your help anyway. Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks for adding me Choccy. Been in work for 4 days, 12 hr shifts so not been on here much if at all. Slept through my WI so bit gutted

I have just had a new phone and have lost my old pp app. It was fab, not all singing type just regular pps converter nothing more. I have a Samsung S4 now. My old app was a freebie too so does anyone know or have an idea what it was. I'm almost sure it would have been on here that I heard about...

Now I do make a mean stew. I fill it with curry so I can't taste any veg lol. But that is it I'm afraid. I think a dinner with all the veg on it looks so good but still I can't eat it. Saddo!!

Oh I wish I liked veg... I eat loads of fruit but can't be doing with veg! I know I'm missing out but I have tried and tried and just don't like it. I can manage carrots if they are covered in gravy but that's it. I am like a child:o

And I meant "lazy" lol

Hi ladies, can some one add me in, will be weighing on weds next week (days change according to what I work that week) I am in my "goal" range but would love another stone at least off Scoobysue 20lbs Sorry, not being last but everytime I do this I seem to mess up the original list:o

I am in complete agreement....not forgetting my pink sparkly sherbet!!

But on the flip side....potato sticks 22 pps abag. Ok its a bigger bag and is probably made for "sharing" but lets be real. They ain't being shared lol

WW forum is a tad.....touchy shall we say (just to keep it polite)

Hi Hon, haven't done Simple start myself I stay on pp's but I agree with Mini. You should not be hungry on any of the plans I don't think. Keep at it, I'm sure some who is more knowledgeable on SS can guide you .x

Now here is the problem treacle...this would mean taking off the Whippy bit of your Mr Whippy to weigh it and lets be honest here that is just not going to happen. Its a done deal once my sticky little paws reach in through that window :icecream:But I appreciate your efforts to keep us on the...

Hi all, just weighed in and 2 days early I might add and 1lb off 11st 41/2lbs so classes now free. Hmmwhat can I spend that £21 a month on.....

Just weighed... and 2 days early due to my shifts and got 1lb off:angel09: Also in my "goal" range now so classes are free...wahoooo! 11st41/2lb 10's brace yourself cos I'm a comin'

On the choc topic. Try putting the individual portions in the freezer. They last longer and you feel you are having more.x

I was thinking of seeing if some one could download them. Its a lot of money otherwise. Good luck, let us know how you get on xx

Has anyone tried slim in 6?

I haven't tried the Tesco value ones but love their own brand copies at 2 pp (quavers, french-fries etc)

Hi I only use pp as I find them so easy for 12 hr shifts in work. I can ping a ready meal (current favs are Asda own £1 Chinese curry and chicken hot pots) and have lots of 2 pp snacks , quavers wotsits , yoghurts etc. For home I can do much better than a ready meal so its a win win. Getting...

Someone help please..... love Mr Whippy. Has anyone had ones from Cardiff bay where they dip it in pink sparkly sherbet...well lush lol

I haven't logged in myself for a while so I DO get that everyone is busy but why is WW so quiet on here when SW is so busy. I also lurk on WW site but that is also quiet and when I do post I am very wary as there is always an element of "stuff" on there that doesn't seem to happen on here... I...

Home bargains do the whole range, even the hairspray . Much cheapness!

Bootcamp is usually a varied mix of exercise so with the Shred you are having very varied routine I would have thought. You could always alternate some of the shred days to vary intensity maybe? Lots of varying lol

I know you can have monthly pass for £10

2lb off the 3 I put on over Xmas :)

Cheers hon

Can't rate Shred highly enough. I can't do it as the impact stuff plays havoc with issues I have with lower back but as someone who has trained all my life this is the real deal. Go for it!

Hmmm, not rushed off my keyboard as yet! The other site is busy so I am thinking that a lot have done the £10 first month online thing and are therefore using their site.....maybe.

I DID have a diet drink too, thanks hon I will go with the 15 as I hadn't had food. Now having fish fillet thing from Youngs 0nly 5pp and salad with some dressing so 2pp so well on track.....plus I had a Tom and Jerry straw...result all around I say!!

I am in the process of researching these frier things. I use my electric oven for everything and am wondering if one of these would work out cheaper for things instead of oven chips etc. I hear that people love them or hate them but they are a lot of money to just try. What can be done in them...

Anyone know the pp's in a cheeseburger happy meal? I really needed something to eat, had gone all jittery cos hadn't eaten AND had been to the gym. I am so chuffed with myself that I only had a Happy meal....truly was a Happy meal lol:D

Hi Nik, no I am staying on my pp's too, need the portion control.

Its our year ladies!!:superwoman:

Weetabix?

How did wi go flower?

I am def trying the banana.

ooohh veggies in my smoothies. No can't be having that. Only veg I can eat is either grated carrot cunningly disguised in salad cream or roast carrots smothered in gravy and mint sauce. I know I am a baby but what can I say lol. Thanks for the smoothie ideas. I have been using frozen fruit as I...

I have one goal, just one that is simply for me. To get onto the 10's. Stones that is, no hope of size 10's with my luscious bapticles in the way!

As some of you may be aware I have treated myself to a new toy (steady ladies ;)) a blender! I am after smoothie recipes. Can't be veggiefied, I am after fruit ones. Any suggestions would be great , thanks.:kissass:

I aim to please:)

Have you had a good first day?

Ah now simples does not equate to easy lol. It means its a simple theory...sticking with it well.....that's what we are here for lol

Its very similar to SW my dd tells me if that's any help. I would have been able to give you more info but I gave her the new stuff I had/ I think she rejoins on Weds so will have her own and I could give you heads up then or maybe post it to you. I really have no use for it.

I have noticed how many on here are not going to meetings due to cost. I am paying the monthly pass thing which helps but I do understand that this is still money that's needed for essentials for a lot of people. I think the cost of the classes needs addressing. Afterall the WW fund is down to...

Ooooh sounds lush x

Yep, I really think portion control is the common sense method. No fads, eat whatever you want but be sensible with portions....simples!

C'mon on, type away!!

1pp it is then;) thanks hon cos I just stocked up on the next lot lol

C'mon peeps, I need to know! They are calling to me ;)

How did you find insanity. Did it change your physique dramatically?

Have just seen the new ad, bit rubbish I think!

Get out there Hon and grab WHATEVER help is available to you. We are all here for the same purpose and no ones "journey" (X factor moment lol) will be the same. You do what you need to to get you to your goal and in the meantime we are all here when you want us.

When I do my big shop I try to point new things before they get put away so I have some idea whats what. We all get into using little tricks that we discover along the way , as well as some knicked of here of course.

I have always exercised, was even competive body builder back in the day. Love the look of Insanity, in all aspects ;) but with really knackered lower discs the impact stuff even on the shred leave me wrecked. Well done on having motivation to you both as right now I have cheap gym access due to...

I know there are reasons why things such as bus lanes etc are annoying but lets be honest....One ways streets are sensible ;)

I just ramble on as I find it hard to fridge raid, open crisps, unwrap roses etc when I am typing . This is the "new" diet fad of the year. Dvd to follow shortly. Type yourself thin!!

Its picking up but I get concerned when I read actual practical help is needed lol!

Welcome Gilly. I think baby weight is very misunderstood. I carry some and I KNOW the blame lies fair and square at the feet of my beautiful 25yr old 6ft and 17st DS!!:D

Hmmm see this is where the problem lies. Instead of thinking "chips in bed, just wrong!!" I am thinking who would know that its only 10 am and I am wondering where to get a bag of chips and if my bed is still warm lol. Now all of you know.... so I won't do it!!

A hypnotherapy session was on one of the voucher sites yesterday. I was tempted but funds are tight after xmas but I will keep an eye out later in the year I think. There was also one for a colonic but strangely enough I'm not as keen on that one ;)

Hi Hon, I whole heartedly agree with all that Cheeky has posted. My DD has same condition and it is such a debilitating condition. Re. the exercise is there the chance to book some lessons in the pool, even if you can swim it might boost your confidence. My DD walks miles and finds it really...

For those who are thinking of classes, think monthly pass is on offer for £10 first month. Might be enough to just get you started....maybe. Good luck ladies

Ah now then, this is where I am called out on my shortcomings, few that they are ;) I am not good on the practical side of these things. However I am good at the rallying of the troops type thing. However I do a curry stew/soup that is near legendary....well in my belly it is lol. Good luck Stevo

It has begun lol

Hi bex. I saw Vicki on mailonline. Omg she looks fab. On a similar vein for a 10 min workout have a look at Jillian Michaels shred. Its hard core but equally quick. Good luck flower on whatever you decide.

I guess no one is in the 11's trying to get out of them then?

C'mon everyone.....still waiting

As above, you can still do the pp's. I'm sticking with this, like lots of others as it does help with portion control. Good luck hon, whatever you decide.

Well I have treated myself to a blender/processor and have made a couple of really delish smoothies using frozen berries. Now... do they have pp's as most fruit doesn't? Help please as they are way too nice and I could be heading down a very slippery slope by just pointing the lf yoghurt I put...

I have decided this is my year also. I will be 50 this year and these few (20/25)lbs are not staying with me. I am determined! Heres to us:girlpower:

I know but I am very impatient.

Very lonely on here at present, but good luck hon.

I am waiting for the big rush to start......

I have made my official decision. Simple start not for me. Sticking with pp's. I eat quite healthily but I can eat LARGE amounts so I need portion control and think this new way would just give me way too much freedom.

Well my regular wi is week weds now so I have time to get back into it....that's the intention anyway.

Hi Cheeky, you are just like me re. your eating "style" its why pp's work so well for me. When I stick to it ;)

Well I had the new brochure thing, you know the weekly one, plus a simple start brochure and a free cookery booklet to go with simple start so you might not need to rejoin. I don't know what you would get extra as such. I don't think on reading it, its for me I like the pp's but who knows. We...

C'mon girls, see the year out with a final blast if you must but ....New year , fresh start. I have put on 3lbs and fully intend getting it off AND more along with it. Don't give in, you can do it , you know that, it just has to click back in.:bighug:

C'mon Lind. Chin up. I have just been to WI and put 3lb on, not as bad as I thought. BUT......it needs to come back off , so it is. Simples!

I went back today. Glad to be back in the game to be honest. 3lbs on...not too bad.

Cheeky, I lurk on the other site as it is busier and do occasionally post but you do have to be careful on there. Obviously this is only my personal view but have found it quite .....struggling for the right words.... just quite, you know. Sweety.... 3lb on for me and well chuffed that it...

Well, I braved the weather. In reality OH was going out so I got him to take me! Anyway....3lbs on. I am quite relieved as I was thinking 5lbs +. I have also had the new stuff so intend having a good read tonight and seeing what its all about. How has everyone else got on?

Here's hoping you're right. Its good to come on here and be lost amongst the new posts.

I am having Chrimbo post WI tomorrow,not looking forward to it but it has to be done.

My 1st WI after the xmas "break" is Monday. Good luck everyone xx

Where is everyone? I thought the boards would be busy with everyone cramming up on whats new etc to get ready for the big New Year push.

I am back into work today, not really been off as I worked Xmas day but being in work definetly makes things easier.

I am off to a WI on Monday hopefully to see what the damage is....duh duh duuuhhhh!!(Horror film style that's meant to be lol)

WOW!!

Sorry you had bad news. My WI before xmas was rubbish 0.5lb on so not impressed. Will try to get to a meeting on Monday to reign myself back in. Are you back into it now after the hols hon?

Hello everyone, hope you all indulged yourselves ready to re-start with vigour!!

Not really a re-start but couldn't weigh on my regular day this week (Xmas day) so hoping to get to one on Monday and get going again. Good luck Linz.

Hope everyone has had a good few days? Ang , how you doing lovely? I have to say I actually feel quite yuk, not that I have eaten too much. Maybe a little over what I would normally but nothing horrendous. just can't eat like I used to I guess, however I still know the scales won't be kind.

They are sludge gulpers the both of them , whereas as we are flighty beautiful dragon flies flitting about on top of the pond !!! Positive thoughts being my theme for the New year....in case no one had guessed. X

I am being pretty good re.pp's but the actual food choices could be better you know what I mean?

Now obviously this is just between us, I have been very good with my food but.....there may have been a few Celebration choccies

I have another idea which I don't know if I'm allowed to post. It means you can turn off your heating ....big positive Burn off pp's.....big positive Not think about food ( unless you include it in the process ;) ) another positive. Makes OH weekend, You get my drift:p

That other site is the sprout of evil some days....and we all know about sprouts!!

Alcohol is good for these sort of ailments, I believe they have no pp's when you have cold symptoms??

I think its worth a shot flower, after all whatever you choose to do you have to start it at some point and now is a good a time as any. Made bad choice today went out shopping... omFg! However cos I am trying to be good no mince pies or other "baddies" diverted me! Now if I wasn't doing this...

Well I just had an 11pp chicken pie with 4pp mash on top lol

I am sooooo rubbish with techie stuff . I have a Samsung Ace2. I have this app called WW points calculator but you have to put the Nv's in individually, I fancy trying a scanning one.

That particular one was a sneaky bas74rd! anyway just pointed my dinner 1/3 Chicken gravy pie (ok it is a family size lol) 11pp 1/2 pack Tesco mash but bulked up with swede so think I will actually have less than 1/2 really 4pp So 15pp all in , not too bad. May actually have can this evening ...

Not failed, just re-assessed!!

Why do we do this to ourselves lol

I agree with Cheeky, see if you can get to just one meeting to get the "stuff" and a heads up on whats what. Could someone maybe treat you as a Xmas present to a monthly pass and cancel it after the month... maybe. It has been the only plan that works for me I got to say. Ok pp's may take a...

I like the ease of mine just rinse under tap for cleaning, job done. Lots of deals on most machines now also.

Cheers hon, don't know what happened last night!! Opened up the fridge to get soup out and "BOOM" there it was. toffee crisp, just sat there. So in it went!! Not even a big chocolate lover , more crisps and stuff. Anyway all pointed so onto today. Only WW toast so far 4pp soup for lunch 0pp Hmm...

fab, well done

Well I enjoyed my dinner last night . But today here is whats gone down so far WW toast 3pp Apple 0pp Cooked dinner ( in café) going to use all pp's for today.26pp Veg soup for tea 0pp Not too bad but may have bag crisps later 2pp Only 5 weeklies used if I do so I'm ok with that. Thurs is...

Like I s.aid have a look at deals on amazon, think I paid 17 for complete range mixture

Well good luck for next week, I had a STS this week and that WAS a full one.

I do enjoy a good ramble, just not the exercise version lol

Lord Ang , you are going through it aren't. And yes play fair Nik, you should always pay your bills lol

Oi Shez, just let it go! Pineapplegate is over. You can't have it, get over it lol. I will be back on here shortly just off to chop up my pineapple rings.....

I like to use mine on the occasional can of Strongbow,7pp. But usually it will be a treat to have 1/2 of one person meal shared with hubby as its always way too much for one.

I really think that sometimes it just clicks. get to class if you know that's what suits you and come on here whenever you feel like giving up. We all go through it that's why we are here. good luck.x

Its really quick and easy, but I haven't tried any of the others. I ordered a big pack of all different flavours off amazon to try them out and find out which ones we liked. None of the pods are cheap are they?

I have whatever comes with monthly pass on my phone but I like the sound of the scanner, how do I get one of these? Sounds much better than putting in all separate N.V's to get pp's

Milk thistle is a liver aid , don't know the effect on the actual pain of a hangover though. Def use it to protect your liver tho hon

I can't keep everything crossed for you over night lol

Nope, not being a hogger lol. Although.... I have been likened to a pig in a trough on more than one occasion......

Yep, only ever done WW. My daughter did SW but she said it was hard work as a lot was cooking from scratch . I know that's the ideal way but I would find that too time consuming, she also said she found it expensive to follow. Also I don't eat veg and I think I would have found that difficult...

Well in an ideal world where I weight 9st soaking wet so do I but until then this is my treat lol

we are all struggling a little it seems :(

Well that's something. I am looking forward to my dinner though. Steak new spuds and carrots and gravy. Today is my treat day but I still try to keep it in check a bit.

yep but nowhere near what it was thankfully.

Drink water

I thought you were sleeping.... have you stayed out of the fridge?

here to subscribe also. I had a sts today also but chin up its not the end of the world. Just the start of the next week really.

well I have just had a mug of my now famous soup and it was delish I have to say. Shez turn the food off and watch Xmas films, that's what I'm doing. Just love them lol

I am good at posting today as I am off but I usually do 12 hr shifts so don't post so much then if at all that day. Does that make a difference? just be nice to post just random ramblings I thought

Vaccinate not exterminate. Save the badgers!! Oh sorry I got confused lol. See how topical we are!!

Got to be honest, its typing on here that is taking my mind of mine

Well after hi-jacking one or two too many diaries its obviously high time I did my own. I am rapidly approaching the Fabulous 50(sept 14) and I WILL have these last few lbs off by then and they will be staying off. I will do my best to post my food but its not a strong point for me. I do a mean...

Headaches suit me I am on a roll. scoobysues Chronicles of the Soup Dragon

You found me lol. right I need to come up with a suitably random diary name. I am on it.

Well I will look into this "Diary" business and stop hogging yours Skinny. But subscribing before I go lol. We will get what we want off and do it between whoevers and whatevers diary we are on:ashamed0005:

That's it we see something that strikes a chord and we are away on a tangent. I have so many clothes , some that would look better for a few lbs off and some that I would actually be able to get on in the first place if I got a few more off. just don't want to spend another 30/40/50 yrs (yes I...

What is the difference in posting a diary. Do you have to commit to posting your food each day? Or can it just be general what you are up to , where you are at type thing?

Oh lord, yes sorry Skinny. I am no good on these board etiquette things, sorry flower:flowers:

Sorry missed this one. No I don't do a diary as I keep forgetting about it and you have to be commited don't you. I have tried to keep myself busy today, made a batch of soup but head is so bad every time I move feels like its going to explode still. Hate ringing in sick as we are a small team...

Hope you do better than me flower, good luck!

The tinned stuff is nice mixed in with a vanilla muller yohurt and a meringue nest crumbled in. Think bout 3 pp

I'm the same, can fit into a 12 in Next but somewhere like R. Is or New lk I got no chance. Tops well, I have baps that some, not me I have to say would pay for and no matter what I lose they don't go anywhere. I just want to get rid of this weight, stop thinking about it 24/7 and look fab at...

See how nastiness just spreads lol

Go for it, just make sure you have good trainers on. If you have one of those little trampette things it might help out with some of the impact things I struggled with, just a thought. let us know how you get on.

Yeah, I'd best be careful. They might come and find me :eek:

MMMMMMMmmmmmm pineapple. No problem for me soooo....I think I shall pop off to our brand new morrisons and get one so I would like to say to Shez....Na na na naaaa na lol

I think it was reported after but lets be honest why do people feel the need to be so hard on someone elses struggles. Like I say I do still pop over there but whereas on here I just type away with random stuff(as some of you may already be aware of lol) over there I think through very carefully...

See doesn't matter whether its a smaller amount (mine is a stone or so) or more we all struggle. Do we all think though that we will be miraculously happier when we get to goal? I know I do. I think I will be happy to go into River Island (yes even at 50 lol)and just pick up a pair of size 12...

If you don't already have the dvd I know mine was only £5 on amazon

I made the mistake of joining in a "foodbank" thred on ww site. well lets just say they have a few very commited dieters over there. Seem to think that it would be good for some people through maybe no fault of there own to go without food??&*£ maybe they are just thinking of helping these...

Us too, just the two of us. On the Shred , if it helps, take a photo on day one, just on your phone. If you can do a round of the shred, not the 30 days just 1st 10 IF you have done it with a good bit of "umph" behind you, you WILL see a difference. OK some more than others but you will see it...

I do a mean susiefied veg soup. I actually don't eat veg so I doctor things with curry paste/powder or lots of pepper and just blend it until its all thick and mushy. I love it, it reminds me of a "proper" soup. Thick and creamy but with no spuds no cream etc. This is what I usually do Fry 3...

I am working Xmas day so having a bit of a "Picky" afternoon rather than cooking but boxing day will be our day. Not got much planned this year and I surprise myself with the thought but I am actually quite happy with the thought. Kids n grandkids Xmas eve, then I think they are doing a flying...
