2013 Weight Watchers Thread #2

[SallyBear]

Just thought I would start a new thread, seeing as we are perilously close to the 1000 posts cut off!

We have all started WW this January and so far so good, we are all losing. This is a really supportive group. Please feel free to join us and share your WW tips and any recipes that you may have.

My 6month old is 20lb and he's a right lump. 20lb is amazing, well done

Yay!!!! That's fabulous Doretaball.

Morning all, just under 1lb off this week bringing me to 1st 3lb so far. (Was pleasantly surprised as i consumed most of my weeklies over the weekend!).
Am really enjoying all the fruit at the moment - melon, pineapple and blueberries for breakfast! We're also eating loads of fish and little meat - surprised I'm managing as i am a complete carnivore! Would love to have a blood test actually (bizarre but true) as I'm sure my cholesterol will be majorly lower than it ever has been previously! It's probably about time i did my measurements again to see what's improved there (but my "small" belt has run out of holes so something definitely improving!).

Jazzcat and Fledto - HD chicken jalfrezi and you want to add MORE chillies? Seriously? Maybe it's down to the strength used, but we found the 6 we put in (per recipe) BLEW OUR HEADS OFF ! (just checked recipe and pretty sure we used red not green if that makes a difference). Mind you, apart from the heat we loved it and are doing it again this weekend for friends.

Whoever was talking (4 pages back) about exercise, I've been saying from the start (9 weeks ago) that i need to up it! Consists at the moment of walking the dog daily. Need to motivate myself to restart 30 day shred, and then to build up running again as once i get going, i do enjoy it! Hoping that the weight loss will ensure running easier and less injury.

Need to start planning Easter (food-wise), as will be entertaining a lot.

Well done doreta - fab loss!

Well done on the losses everyone, you all continue to be a great inspiration

Well I didn't cave and get a takeaway over the weekend despite the lack of oven...have stocked up on baked potatoes and Oats So Simple so we can use the microwave. It's an electric hob so DP thinks it might've shorted...we're waiting for the estate agents to send someone out to look at it now. Shame as we'd just bought rather expensive extra lean mince from the butchers, which we've frozen. But I was sooo looking forward to a nice spaghetti bolognese!

Anyone tried the HD meatballs? any reviews/comments/improvements? TIA ! (Wondering if we need a separate HD thread starting with the entire book pointed as some marvelous person did somewhere in this thread)

Excellent idea to point the HD book - and suggest any amendments.

Just dropped DHs car up at garage (whole other thread in chat) and walked back earning myself 6 pro points. Feeling v self righteous now having had my 0pts carrot & coriander soup with WW bread and an apple. Only 1lb away from 10% but I want a 2lb loss this week

Some fab losses. I did the HD meatballs and they were fab. In fact I've just got some mince out the freezer to make them for tea tomorrow. Ds1 loves them.

I've just rediscovered chocolate philidelphia (2pp per 30g). Any ideas on what I could have it with. Just had it on 2 fruit ryvitas but came to 5pp and I'm not sure it beats a chocolate bar! Maybe I could smear it on some apple slices but doesn't sound too exciting.

Choccy philly backinaminute don't be silly!! Can honestly say i've never tried it - happy with my extra light garlic and herb philly.

Wondering does choccy philly work like normal philly in that you can put it over say pasta and it makes a sauce? you could heat up some banana and mix it in with that to be saucy?

Do you use beef or pork or mixture for meatballs?

I've never been keen on choc philly - somehow tastes wrong. Plus morrisons nume garlic & herb soft cheese is only 1pt

Discovered dairylea triangles in blue cheese flavour today (1pt) and am now an addict!

I love chocolate Philly! I used to spread it on sweet crispbreads or ladyfingers...sooo good.

I'm feeling really fat and frumpy today, and I don't know why but its making me feel rubbish

fledto WHERE????? Dairylea triangles are so yum, can only imagine blue flavour....

onthemetro :( sorry you feel that way, try to stay positive! Focus on what you've achieved so far.

Flatmouse - morrisons had them for £1 last Thursday. Going to stock up this week as they are bloody gorgeous

Pressed send too quickly.

Never seen them before and thought id try them for lunch today. Can't believe they've been sitting in my fridge for 4 days without me demolishing them

I have choccy Philly on oatcakes with some sliced banana. I buy the mini pots which I think are two points. I usually have half a pot with two oatcakes so 3 pp in total. Nice with a cuppa after getting DS from school.

Fled- liking the sound of blue cheese dairy lea! Must check them out.

Great losses dancer, doreta and flat mouse.

Onthemetro - I know the feeling! I sometimes notice that when I start to lose I lose everywhere but around my middle and it makes me feel bigger. Odd. It seems to balance out eventually but I def feel fat and frumpy at those times.

Trying to decide what to have for dinner. Supposed to be going to a Pampered Chef party so DH planned to do a fry-up for him and DS forgetting I would still need to eat. Have now decided not to go to party but need to think of dinner. I have one of those WW sachets of chilli con carne which I could have with some brown rice.

WW weigh in for me tomorrow. Planning on doing my second C25k session after I take DS to school and then go to WW. Then to Tonacise.

Oatcakes would work, I was thinking about banana so will give it a go. It's awesome stuff. Like cheesecake in a pot.

I think I used pork mince for the meatballs. That's what I've got out for tomorrow. I don't think I mixed it because it was basically one pack of mince.

I know this is rubbish but I've never stuck to a diet this long. I don't think I would have done if it wasn't for this thread. I find it really keeps me on track. I've never been on a long running thread either, it's a whole new world

Backinaminute ditto on both counts. I almost feel like I can't let you all down so can't cheat.

I have a 10k race on Sunday which I'm a bit nervous about. Don't think I'll get a very good time but hopefully it won't be too bad. Entered the race for life today for June plus a half marathon in September and one in October. Nice to have something to aim for

I signed up for the race for life too, just a 5k one at the moment. Not quite ready for a 10k yet!
Sleep tight.

Choc philly is great in porridge and in custard (with melted mars bar) with melted ww choc bar, for a real chocolate treat. I've had to stop buying it because I use so much.

Being the chocoholic of the group can anyone explain the kitkat thing to me please:

1 finger 2ppts
2 fingers 3ppts
4 fingers 7ppts

so if I have a four separate one fingers its 8 ppts
2 x 2 fingers its 6ppts
or 4 fingers 7ppts

Im confused (or stooopid)

oops not learned the strike out words thing yet

well done on everyones loses! 3lb lost tonight! Am over the moon! Was wonderin tho anyone any advice on how to stop a sweet tooth?! I honestly feel the need to eat chocolates every night!!!

Well I have NO IDEA how I did it, but I've lost 2lbs!! Phew!!!! Chicken Bhuna tonight with Loyd Grossman sauce. So I counted yesterday, and I am endeavouring to keep up the good work!!!

Well done sallybear! I counted all week even at the weekend which wasnt like me but seeing the result of keepin track has gave me a boot in the bum an im gonna keep doin it!

Well done Sally!

I need a Crunchie line please I had an awful day yesterday, I was so tired that I felt ill and as a result I totally screwed up the dinner I had planned (creamy salmon & pasta) so we ordered a Chinese. Aaargh! It was delicious but I didn't keep to my points at all and I'm very disappointed with myself.

On the upside that's the first time we've ordered a takeaway since September, which is good going for us as before that it was a lot more frequent.

Going for a long walk into town today, it's DPs birthday tomorrow and I need to get a card and a present

Hope you all have a good day x

Another pound off, slow but sure , would have liked two but did have a couple of difficult days at the weekend .

Well done everyone else
