Started WW for the THIRD time in a year! Third time lucky i hope!

[beckylea23]

Hi guys

In the past year i have joined weight watchers 3 times, slimming world 3 times, cambridge diet and dukan diet. I am having an absolute mare! I am a single mum and work and run a house by myself, dieting is usually the last thing on my mind, but my weight is constantly making me depressed! So i have decided WW is definately the one for me and i am going to use this forum to help me keep on track and hopefully some lovely people can share their stories and experiences with me!

Can anyone recommend any cheap/easy meal ideas as i always seem to find myself eating the same things!

Becky xx

Hi, I have been following pro points since the 18 April and have lost 6 and half pound. Found it works really well, as you can stick to your daily allowance points and use your weekly points for your night out, if you usually have one. I was a bit sceptical at first, but on the night I had planned to go out, I had my breakfast and a lite lunch and went out for an Indian. Probably didn't have as much rice or naan as I would normally have but I had some starters and wine as well, so I didn't feel deprived, and still lost this week. You just have to trust that it works if you follow the plan.

 

[beckylea23]

that's fab cathy! not long til you get that silver 7! my problem is i am SO impatient, i need to remember that i cant eat as good as this and lose 10lb per week! lol im excited for next weeks weigh in already! x

 

[bunnie]

If you check out the stickys you will find some good ideas there x

Good luck I've been on every diet going too. Including WW but never done PP. Just the old Discover Plan. x hope it's just as good weight loss as old plan.
