Codfather - I have been walking around all day saying to myself "if you don't fancy a carrot then you're not hungry."

It's only my second day and I would normally have broken it if I hadn't seen you're words of encouragement. They definatley (spelling) made me think twice. I ended up drinking alot more water instead of eating.

I've written them down as well.

Do you have any others that can keep us going.

Demented and Codfather - thanks for the encouraging words. I've dieted before, but usually lose interest somewhere around the 8 week mark. Now, when I start to waver, I remind myself that the extra weight crept on gradually, and that it will also go gradually, so I need to be patient! I realised last week that I have subconsciously adopted the misguided idea that a few weeks of being good should correct years of eating whatever I wanted! Wouldn't it be nice if it really worked that way? I'm determined to stay focused and motivated this time around, and rid myself of the extra weight. By declaring it here "publicly", I can be accountable (in the nicest possible way), and supported. It helps to know that there are people cheering me on.

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

No. I posted on Week 14. I am having a couple of week's off - too many social things and DD's birthday party. Hovering around same weight anyway at moment so hopefully won't be too bad. Not going to weigh this week and next though, and will be back on track after Easter.

Oh, I'm never hungry then.

Hulababy, have I missed your weigh-in this week?

Also Wintye, our new member last week, I don't seem to have have received your mail this week either?

  1. all the food you miss will still bet here when youa re thin!

  2. would you describe yoursefl as a fat peron? do you want to be described that way? No? then lose it!

  3. Imagine putting on clothes and not having to look at your arse or cover it up

  4. If you dont fancy a carrot you a re not really hungry

Thank you Coddy. Do you have some encouraging words, as someone who has met their target, to get us all back on track again?

HERE ARE THE WEEK 13 RESULTS:-


Demented 1 19
Beccaroll -1 2
Miranda2 -1 9
Applepie -4 9
Allegra 1 4
Lisa78 1 6.5
Janhr 0 -1

Total -3 48.5


Something tells me we may be lacking slightly in motivation this week! Just think how close it is getting to summer and how much weight we could shift with the next 6-8 weeks and how fabulous we will all be looking in our summer stuff, think pale coloured trousers, shorter skirts or shorts, sleeveless tops, maybe even a bikini.

It would be quite possible for us each to lose between half a stone and one whole stone in 6-8 weeks, let's do it!

Can I tell you my own personal achievement this week? Now this involves admitting my weight deep breath I am now 11st 13lbs, I am below 12st (and only technically 7lbs overweight), yippee!!!

No problem as long as I have your e-mail by about 6pm tomorrow that's fine. Announcement should happen some time in the evening, hopefully before 9pm, two little people permitting.

I'm always nicking a Milkyway from the kids in the evening, someone said they were 2 points, that and a cup of tea, I don't take sugar, just a splash of milk so that's quite low.

Toast with honey.

Creme egg - 3 points.

WW Deserts, I had a really nice one the other week, belgian choc only two points, so I had both of them!

miranda2 didn't know about meringues - thanks for that!

I do find it easy in the day too - often have muesli 2.5 pts for breakfast and a huge chicken salad sandwich for lunch with piccalilli (4pts). Plus 3/4 of a pint of skimmed milk in coffee/tea 1.5 pts - so that's 7pts in the day, leaving loads for the evening + wine or snacks.

Earlybird - I have the same prob! A few things I've found help a bit -

  1. keep some points from the day to plan in for the evening binge! tehn eat healthy, filling things like toast or crumpets or cereal in the evening.
  2. Some sugar free jelly made in little bowls can be quite a good nibble that is no points, as is drinking diet coke or something.
  3. Find low-point snacks that you like - I love meringue, so discovering meringue nests are 1/2 point was great, i really feel i've had a treat. Also fruit is quite good. Plus discovered Asda low fat 'icecream' stuff last night - two big spoons with lashings of maple syrup is only 2 or 21/2 points, which you can easily save by having a frugal lunch.

Earlybird I take it you are on Weightwatchers from the points comment.

You could just eat less in the day so that you have 5 points spare in the evening! I do that sometimes so I can have half a bottle of wine.

They do make sweet microwave popcorn (but it's hard to find)

Other sweet things I find good

Caramel snack a jacks - 2pts a bag
Iced Gems - 1.5 points a bag (small bag from pack of 6)
Mini chunky kit kats - 2pts
Diet coke - no points!
Someone said Fab ice lollies are only 1 pt

I don't eat crisps or normal cheese any more as I find it doesn't fill me up and wastes my points.

HTH
