Thanks Ria, I'll look it up, had a bad day yesterday, if DD wasn't being a pain or crying DS was screaming. I hid in the kitchen and ate 4 squares of choc, 3 biscuits and a slice of cake. aggh! Good job I'm not starting officially til mon. I must get my emotional eating under control.

So glad I ignored farmville, I've got enough internet addictions!

smallone - have you been on the WW thread? There is a link from there to someones blog of their WW journey and it has useful stuff on it. If you scroll down it's there somewhere (am still using DS1s laptop otherwise I think I had bookmarked it). I have some WW books so could look things up for you if it would help (can't send you them in case I change my mind again)

I was doing so well today, then I got all in a stress as DH drove over a "ramp" strip and ripped the tyre, plus he has promised to make a birthday cake for tomorrow and is too busy at work to do it, so guess who has been baking since before tea? As the oven was on I made my uncle a bacon and egg pie (my aunt is in hospital) and DS3 had some for tea after we walked DS1 to youth group (in the dark!), I just had a little taste, but it was really nice and DS3 wanted some more...

Hi RG. I haven't been on farmville for ages.

Hi everyone!

I lost you off my "threads i'm on" list!

I haven't been on lately because i've been sucked into the timewasting vortex that is FarmVille on Facebook . Now that i am hooked on that, i seem to forget that i had a [virtual] life outside of FB!

Will catch up and post replies later when i'm at home.

Hope you are all well and hello to the newbies!

Smallone - that makes sense. Do you have all the books from last time? God luck with it. I must admit I can't remember all the points and things from ww so can't remember what else is good for snacks. Hopefully the snackajacks and crackers will help the cravings.

I've only just joined so not sure what other people do about a weigh in but personally mine is on Monday normally.

Thankyou, yes you are allowed extra points on WW while BFing, but I'm trying to do it from memory rather than sign up again as money is very tight. I'm going to try and work out what 500 cals is in points and add that on, then I can adjust it based on my weight loss.

I think snackajacks and crackers might be the way to go, I want carbs! Only thinking about it over the weekend and then I aim to start proper on monday. Do you all have a weigh in on the same day? Or do you do your own thing?

DIET = Determined Inspired Exciting Terrific



RG are you lurking? How are you?

Well done Rialentless on giving SW another go. You could save some of your points for when your friends are around at the weekend. Good luck getting through the evening.

Hi smallone and welcome. I only joined this thread a couple of days ago too. I think you are allowed extra points when you are BF. I'm not sure what snacks you can have apart from fruit. What about things like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, baby carrots, snackajacks, crackers etc? I started Go Lower 6 weeks ago. It was quite tough to start with but after a few days it got easier. It is so easy now not having to count points etc and I never thought I would say it, but I don't feel hungry at all.

hi smallone. no idea about snacking, sorry. Do you get extra WW points for BF?

doing ok here. tea was a bit of a waste of syns - made a pasta bake with low fat condensed soup that is 7.5 per tin, and bought a mini Eat Smart garlic baguette, but it was 15 syns for the whole thing. I had half, and didn't think "sod it" and eat the whole thing. got to keep it up til bedtime

Hi everyone can I join you? I've been overweight all my life, managed to lose quite a lot on WW years ago during an active job but its crept back up. I've just had dc2 and was shocked during pregnancy that hosp scales show me as 1.5 stone heavier than my scales at home. This put me in the "at risk BMI" range and made me feel like a freak. I don't know what I actually weigh til I get some new scales but have lost my pregnancy weight quickly so am motivated to get going again. I'm BFing and its making me want to chain eat cake, I'm going to need help to keep strong. Any ideas what I can snack on? Fruit just doesn't cut it I'm afraid!

giving SW another go today. trying to have a good week have shopped and done a rough meal plan, also not bought any wine, but having friends over on Saturday so I'll have to have some then!
