would anyone like to join me. I am going to start on Monday.

I am not joining any clubs but will be loosely following WW.

Need to cut out the alcohol, crisps, cheese and chocolate (not totally) .

I would love some company. Will try to log on everyday to keep up with anyone who joins me but I do work full time so please dont be cross if I dont reply quickly!!!

I am really down right now about the way I look and would love to share my joys/lows with others - speak soon x

There's normally loads in the vegetarian section of the freezers too.

silkcushion · 21/01/2008 14:49

will search tescos more thoroughly and maybe even ask an assistant. I'd rather eat fewer points - not fussed whether I have chicken or quorn.

I saw an advert in sainsburys yesterday for a replenishment assistant - do you think that's the same thing as a shelf stacker?

CayKon · 21/01/2008 15:11

quorn is in bothe frozen and chiller. I usually buy the frozen one though

Hi everyone how you all doing, i think my cold finally gone, weighed myself again today thrilled to say, i've lost 4lb thats with a weekly treat of fish and chips.

colditz · 21/01/2008 16:52

Ohhh well done!

silkcushion · 21/01/2008 17:35

well done Bitcat - the hard work paid off

VVVQV · 21/01/2008 17:39

well done bitcat

colditz · 21/01/2008 17:40

I've just thrashed 7 points on tea - but it was poached haddock with new potatoes, veg, and a stilton and onion sauce

And it was delicious, but that means I have used 15 points today - leaving me with 6 to use - and I like to keep 4 if I can... I don't think I'll be keeping them tonight.

annieatno4 · 21/01/2008 18:43

Evening Ladies

Hubby busy cooking tea, and it smells lovely, and iam starving!

Anyway food today
B - porridge, dried fruit and honey
L - mushrooms on toast, with low cal cheese triangle. Brocolli soup
D - salmon, with bubble and squeek (only one small amount of potatoe).

Hubby and kids are having, beef burgers, chips - i think i wil have to sit in another room (envy)

Have a good evening
annie

silkcushion · 21/01/2008 19:02

I also have 6 pts left. Had to force myself to eat dinner - had no appetite whatsoever dh and dd are getting over norovirus though - maybe I'm going to get it too (the depths I'll sink to in order to reach goal weight)

I'll save 4 and forfeit 2 I think. Might go to badminton tonight and earn 7 exercise points (but not eat them)

VVVQV · 21/01/2008 19:45

Well, dinner will be a whopping 13.5 points!!!

Chicken and bacon ravioli and garlic bread.

I still have 4 points left after that -

araucaria · 21/01/2008 20:41

Well done on the weight loss to all especially VVVQ, Caykon and Silk

LOL mammajo re seat!

Keep going Perkin - I guess we will all have ups and downs - but stick with us - you will get there

I have lost only 1 lb this week.
I am a bit disapointed.
But, I am consoling myself:

  • I am now eating well over my 5 a day (never managed 5 normally)
  • I do feel better
  • I have had to use a new tighter hole on my belt - so must be loosing some of my muffin belly

Have had quite a harassed few days. Baby has been so unhappy - I was putting it all down to teeth ( he now has 2) when my gorgeous boy woke up covered with spots - aaagh! Bloody Chicken Pox .

This morning made a resolution to go out every day this week with the pram for a long walk and use the pedometer. But this afternoon the weather was so horrid and DS so miserable we both went back to bed for snuggles and a nap for two hours - won't lose me much weight but much nicer

Oooh - snuggling in bed with a baby - I don't think a rainy afternoon can be spent in a better way

Ags · 21/01/2008 23:13

Yeah, Weighed in at meeting and lost 7lbs. So pleased. However, then went to pre-school committee meeting, had 4 glasses of wine, came back and had huge chicken baguette with mayo and 6 nice biscuits!!!

However, always used to pig out on weigh in night and back on track next day so will be up and motivated for tomorrow morning.

Well done to everyone who is still posting on this thread as I know that if I had not lost anything I would probably have lurked off into the distance and not come back. Posting shows commitment!

Did you notice? Am a bit drunk!

7lbs Ags!!!!! Well done - you deserve to be pissed

colditz · 21/01/2008 23:31

Bloody Hell, well done ags! That's half a stone you know!

Ags · 21/01/2008 23:42

Thanks silk and colditz! In truth, I have a shed load to lose (much more than 3 stone) so it is not surprising to lose this amount in the first week. Don't want anyone with smaller amounts to lose to think I am a weight loss miracle worker! But I am delighted. It is such a great motivator. And that first little silver seven they give out at weight watchers looks lovely and sparkly in my card!

silkcushion · 21/01/2008 23:44

I'm doing it on line so will have to make my own silver sparkly 7 (hopefully next week) Dh really will think I've lost it then!

silkcushion · 21/01/2008 23:46

and fwiw it's seems like a few of us on ehre have lots more than 3 stone to lose. myself - 4st 8 to get to max weight for my height.

colditz · 21/01/2008 23:52

I have to lose 3 stone 10 to get to my MAXIMUM ALLOWED weight - and a FURTHER 2 stone four to get to my minimum (7 stone 10!!!!!!!!!! F**K THAT!)

Ags · 22/01/2008 00:03

Oh minimum weights are a nonsense I have decided. I think if I was my minimum weight I would look like a weirdo with a huge head (I do have a big head). God, what a lovely picture I paint of myself!

araucaria · 22/01/2008 08:16

Well done Ags!
You sound gorgeous!

Things not going so well here, DS been up most of the night, not sure if he feels itchy and doesn't know how to itch or what
Seems harder to resist the fridge in the early hours - so have finished off a whole rhubard crumble and had some bread and butter
Will be lucky not to have put on unless I do much much better

colditz · 22/01/2008 09:06

Weigh in today ... tremble tremble
