on to points this week but a bit confused for cereal is the points for the cereal + points for milk = total breakfast points

The points given for the cereals is JUST for the dry cereals only. You need to add on points for milk (or come from your milk alloweance for day) and sugar, if any.

I want to lose another stone so will have to get exercising. I've been really good with my food, eating low fat and saying no to treats but still having the odd one but it's coming off slowly. But then again DH once lost 4 stone with Slimming world really fast and put it all back on so maybe it's better to come off slow?

Hula, I have just seen last weeks results, I can't believe you are counting in 1/4 pounds now!!!

Lisa78 · 01/05/2004 19:16

better slow juniper, I think
When I lose half or one pound, like this week, its cos I have driven everywhere
When I lose 2 or 3 pounds, its in the weeks where I have grabbed the pushchair and walked all over

WEIGH IN TOMORROW!!!

How is everyone feeling this week?

I have this bad habit of stepping on the scales every morning and was horrified to find out that I was 3lbs heavier today than yesterday so hoping that rectifies itself.

Can I join please? Dh is doing Weightwatchers, and cos I need to lose some too I'm going to try and support him. (But how come he gets to have almost twice as many points as me? )

What do I have to do to join in Demented?

stop getting weighed every day madam, you know you shouldn't!

Hey everyone, Iceland have a deal on Slimfast meals - 2 for 1 (£1.99). They are 5 or 6 points each and more substantial than the weighwatchers ones, very nice too, and keep you full for a while!

I have put on 4lbs since I last posted.

PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME MOTIVATION.

mb, it is so so worth getting back on track, you know that once you start to lose again, you will start feeling better and then start eating less...just need one big push to get you on the downward scales path...come on, you can do it, you've done it before!!!!

roisin, if you mail me at mn.bigmamas(at)virgin(dot)net with your starting weight, target weight if any, then all you do is mail me each Thursday with your loss and it will be announced on Friday night. We celebrate milestone losses and aim (collectively) to provide motivation and recipes. All the best!

Lisa, I know, I know I'm very naughty! I wouldn't advise it myself!

MadamButterfly (JanHR?) would it help to make a fresh start? If you do mail me with your new weight as a starting weight. Are you following a particular diet? I could send you a copy of the WW points that are doing the rounds if that would help, I only have them on Excel if that would be any use to you?

Demented,(yes I am JanHR) I emailed you my weight this morning..

Could you possibly send me the points list you have (excel is fine).

I have a WW points guide, but it is a few years old now, so hopefully the list you have has some new items on it.

Thank you.

demented, I have e-mailed you my meagre weight loss (none last week). Will have to stop picking food off my children's plates.

Anyway I'm pregnant now (unplanned!) - I think that you can't do weightwatchers if you're pregnant - is this right does anyone know?

Hulababy · 06/05/2004 20:19

Demented - my e-mail to you has just bounced back to me I lost 2 1/4 pounds this week. So now I am 8 stone 12, and have total weight loss of 1 stone 1lbs since starting 18 weeks ago

Hula, I am with Virgin and they are cracking down on spam just now, on the whole it has been good but we have had the odd missing mail etc, I wonder if your mail has fallen foul of Virgin anti-spam. I will put your details on the spreadsheet though.

pollyanna, congratulations on your pregnancy! Don't know whether you can do WW when pg or not, but even if you can't I don't suppose there would be any harm in eating sensibly/damage limitation (says she who ate like a pig through preganancy and b/feeding )!!!

Congratulations Pollyanna ! I think if you are already a WW member then you can continue until 12 weeks if that's any help

Sorry I know I am very late with the announcement! (nobody noticed??? boo hoo, nobody loves me !!! )

I was at a wedding reception last night and was convinced I would have time to do the announcement before I left but failed miserably. Just give me a few minutes and I will be back with the announcement.

so I should think! Honestly, out partying instead of fulfilling your mn commitments - what is the world coming to
