I was doing slimming world until last night. I was doing it since June and haven't lost a single pound since Aug.

I think it's time for change. I am starting WW on Tuesday. Any body else up for joining me.

I lost 4lb [smug]

BUT because there are two meetings in this town, I missed Tuesday's and didn't get weighed until Thurday.

So now I have to got myself weighed on Tuesday, and I've only had 4/5 days to scrape it off.

I hope some does come off.

I am sat here in size 14 jeans but tbh I don't trust the clothes shop's sizing any more, it's completely arbitrary!

Hi all is it ok if i join you lovely ladies. I joined ww online yesterday and could really use the extra motivation!

PinkPussyCat · 22/09/2008 21:37

Bugger

Lost a measly 12oz (340g).

Feeling exremely grumpy + fed up today as a result. Have stuck rigidly to my points too.

Welcome Leo! Sorry about the moany post.

Thanks everyone for the exercise tips- I got weighed on Friday and had lost 8lbs !!!

Couldn't believe it- just shows how bad my diet was before

Am geared up now for the week ..!

arfishy · 23/09/2008 00:06

The weekend was as bad as I feared, although I did drink wine spritzers and eat a very healthy dinner so a small amount of damage limitation there. I have no ideas how many points the champagne breakfast took up but didn't eat the fried stuff only tomatoes and mushrooms (and a strawberry or two from the champagne!).

DD has broken up so can't go to the gym either. Not good.

Oddsock that's great! And Oi & Colditz.

PPC if you've been really good you might see the loss next week?

peachespaige · 23/09/2008 11:33

Hi all.
Well done on the losses!
I drank far too much last week and gained a pound. So went to the gym last night and did my class and have just made a huge veg soup to snack on!
I will be in the 10 stones for my 30th birthday!!!!

Well done everyone, we all seem to be doing great, lost a pound and half last week but will not be able to make the weigh in for the next two weeks , so must stay focused!
My exercise is still going well and after a rocky patch, feel more motivated and positive again.

Have a good week all!

IllegallyBrunette · 27/09/2008 09:16

Hi everyone, can I join this thread ?

I am planning on going to my first WW meeting on Wednesday. Quite scared tbh lol, but I need to do something.

I need to lose 1 stone, which I know doesn't sound alot, but it won't shift at all, not even 1lb of it, possibly due to me eating too much LOL.

IllegallyBrunette · 27/09/2008 09:17

Do they give you a target of how much weight you should lose each week by the way ??

Toffeetart · 27/09/2008 10:43

Hi everyone - and thank you shhhh for letting me join! I wasn't sure if I could as I have only just started Weight Watchers.

Well, need to loose a hell of a lot of weight - half my body weight or so. I have stuck to 25 points a day this week - have not began with KickStart.

SmugColditz · 27/09/2008 16:38

Put on half a pound - buggeration!

No, IB, they don't give you a timescale in which to lose the weight. they set you goals like 7lb at a time - every time you lose 7lb they give you a shiny sticker (of which you will be indecently proud) and when you lose 10% of your body weight (if youneed to) they give you a metal keyring. My keyring is the most pride-inducing thing I own

SmugColditz · 27/09/2008 16:48

Kickstart would be too low for you, I think Toffee, stick to your 25

Well I go back to be weighed tomorrow evening. Last week the leader weighed me with my clothes on (but no shoes). Is the weight reading she gave me my weight plus my clothes or does it automatically take off a couple of pounds for your clothes (IYSWIM?)?

Well, I have lost 1lb 2oz. (Just my luck to have ultra-accurate scales that can do ounces!)

Am doing my best to remain positive

Hope everyone else is doing ok out there...

peachespaige · 30/09/2008 08:38
