I secretly joined weight watchers tonight

I need to lose some weight as I’m getting lazy and complacent. I’m not huge but I’m definitely over weight and I need to sort it. I did SW before but just cannot bring myself to do it again! Plus this is cheaper and seems more varied. I hated being made to feel like I was in therapy and that Muller lights were an accompaniment to everything!

So I’ve done this. I’ve not told anyone and don’t plan on doing so. I need to knock two stone off and I’ll be happier. My son is two and a half and I can’t keep blaming him (though the c section canyon of doom is definitely his fault for not wanting to come out the other way 😂).

So here it is - I want to get my weight under control and at least this way I have a plan and recipes and will be accountable in more ways! Plus the popcorn - dear god the popcorn. I eat so much it’s embarrassing and this should make me stop!!

Just needed to share somewhere - success stories would be great!

Well done on being proactive! By popcorn do you mean Butterkist? Only asking because I normally hear popcorn being talked about as a healthy snack.

Well done for starting and good luck at WW.

I lost nothing at SW but lost 3 stones at WW in 2012. I’ve put over a stone on since then and I am now trying to shift it on my own. Eggs are your friend at WW and their toffee bars are lovely.

WW food is their Muller Light equivalent. Good luck. Smile

I lost three stone with them years ago. Like any diet it only works if u stick to it. Good luck.

It’s Tesco own sweet and salty - the big bags. I can plough through one a day which is not healthy in the slightest!! Popcorn may be a better snack but not in the quantities I was eating.

Of course day one and I’m starving! I’m also a little shocked at how many points are taken up with anything that’s not fruit and veg and such! But I’ll get used to it and just know I have to regulate treats. Two hot meals a day - am always buying lunch in the canteen - not helping either.

I drink very little so that’s not a problem but I know popcorn and sweets are a vice of mine...
