WEIGHT WATCHERS PRO POINTS - OUR THREADS ARE EXPANDING BUT OUR WAISTS ARE NOT

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Welcome one and all to our 7th thread :)

If you're just starting out or you've been following WW for a while and you're looking for support you've come to the right place!

There are lots of regulars who are well on their weigh (get it! ) and others who have just joined us - we're a mixed bag, all shapes and sizes and all with different goals to achieve but we're all striving for the same thing. We're all here to will one another on with advice, support and lots of cheering!

Androbbob is our resident stat checker and keeps us motivated by totting up the total weight loss each week.

we have lost an amazing amount since jan 2011

We're quite fast moving at times so just dive in - pour yourself a or [cuppa] and make yourself at home

Jamie Oliver has a good recipe for 'ice cream' that I've used plenty of times. It really is just a bag of frozen fruit and a tub of yoghurt whizzed around in the food processor. Last night, we made a big bowl of raspberry and mint yogurt and it was only 2PP each.

The oilve oil spray www.ocado.com/webshop/getSearchProducts.do?clearTabs=yes&entry=olive+oil+spray is good to keep calories down too. I roast lots of veg for my baby so portions of buttersquash and sweet potato for me too.

Just a quick thank you to whoever it was upthread who recommended Warburton's Square-ish wraps as a home-made pizza substitute! Just had the most lush dinner!

Wrap (4PP) topped with 1tbsp tomato puree (0pp), 30g chorizo (2pp), 25g light feta (1pp), peppadews (0pp), thinly sliced orange pepper (0pp), halved pitted black olives (1pp), and all baked in the oven for 5mins at 200C. Pizza for 8pp - bargain!

I'll pm you Korma.

Hello everyone, think I am back on track after a crap weekend.
Just posted a recipe for Marinara sauce on the recipe thread, hope someone likes it. 5PP per person, 10PP if you serve with 60g pasta.

WI today and lost 2lbs which I am very pleased with but still a half pound away from that bloody elusive first stone off! Had a tricky weekend - socialising with friends on Friday evening and out for lovely dinner with DH on Sat (wedding anniversary) - and was in negative points by Monday so definitely pleased with this week's result.

Haven't been on the recipe thread for a bit. Will go and have a nose now ...

changed weigh in day to thursday so no update for me today... definately not going to be good though was out fri and sat night and need a serious kick up the bum regarding exercise... cant seem to get any motivation going on!!! have done nothing all week... help!! might go and jump on the trampolene for a bit!

Well done Lola - you'll get your second silver seven next week, I'm sure!

I've just got back from weighing in, which I was still dreading after my holiday. However, I seem to have pulled a blinder, and managed to stay the same. I also got my 50lb certificate which was lovely!

well done benbon and littlefish and well done on the certificate

littlefish - FANTASTIC!

well done Lola and happy aniversary :)

Congrats BenBon - I got my first silver 7 :)

this week WI lost 4 1/2 lb so now in two weeks ive lost 9lb :) happy!!!!

oh bugger I meant to say go jump Benbon ;) and cograts littlefish

wi today, another 2lb off but I am going on hols on Mon, 11 nights all inclusive. I have told myself that if I put on 2-4 lb I will be happy with that as I don't want to ruin my holiday by trying to watch the points all the time. Fingers crossed. I got my 5 percent star today (I'm an online member)

Furball - thank you! Can't wait to see you...

Only - congratulaltions on your first silver seven, and double congratulations on you weight loss this week!

gemmummy - I didn't watch my points (2 weeks all inclusive), I just gave myself a few rules: No ice-cream, no creamy cocktails, no eating between meals. I tried "no chips", but that one fell by the wayside pretty quickly! It seemed to work because I managed to stay the same.

Well done on the certificate Littlefish!

Sorry I'm being vague about my targets etc. about current weight, that I let it get so out of hand, that I'm giving myself so long to get to goal - but I want to be realistic and actually get there reasonably and then keep it off this time.

Had a big plate of ratatouille, red cabbage and a sweet potato last night.

can I politely ask you ladies to look here on my craft thread, about my wallet I made??

well done lola only and gemmummy

I managed to stay away from the comfort food yesterday so am pleased with that. AF arrived today so i am hoping that means i might not have water weight at WI tomorrow but i'm not really sure how long i hang on to water at TOTM.

only I had a look at your photos for the wallet, and yes i like it but can i say you looked fab in the bikini on the beach, i am very

shame that is before i had my second baby, and id been in greece about a month and lived on salad and meat hardly any carbs!! was 9stone

i wish i could have adopted that diet when i lived in cyprus, but unfortunately i had a penchant for halloumi, greek macs and pizza hut on the sea front and too much alcohol. But obviously low carb works for you so that maybe worth bearing in mind if your weight starts stalling

HMM, so ive lost 9lb in two weeks, that will probably slow right down wont it?

lost another lb at WI last night.

Seems to be a common theme! but better off than on

And deep joy, I can see my collar bones again- they are not surrounded by flab!!

put on 1/2 but I actually feel thinner ????

Anyway, still means I've lost a stone in 6 wks, so not really unhappy. Just a bit GRRR....

Only The wallet isn't my taste, but I think it's a marketable shape & style. It might be worth listing a few on folksy.co.uk too test the water. (Wallets, laptop sleeves, needle/hook/brush rolls, project & make-up bags all seem to sell well).

As for weight-loss, you might get another week or two of substantial losses, but it will slow; sadly, early losses are never 100% fat. I've temporarily stopped eating my weeklies, exercise for 14-18 hours a week & my average loss is 1.5kg (3.3 lbs); if I ate all my weeklies and exercised at the same level I reckon that would drop to around 2lbs per week.

Emma Yay for the collarbone! :D

Mistle 1/2 could very well be fluid. Are you taking measurements?

HeyH0 - don't need to - size smaller trousers are now loose, as is the top I bought 4 wks ago - which was on the snug size when I got it. in fact, have just gone out and bought the size smaller for a bit later in the summer as its my favourite colour and in the sale!
