Anyone else out there with 5 plus stones to lose? Who fancies doing a weekly weigh in with me?

[sandramaryb]

I have got really overweight in the last couple of years and would love to meet some others who might be trying to cut down but not exactly dieting. Where do you start when there is so much to lose? Any tips on evening snacking? TIA

Well done girls!! Keep it up!

Tday ive had porridge with banana, salad with cottage cheese and small tiny potato and 1 bag of pom teddy crisps only 94 calories and 1 WW rich toffee bar and now im only going to have veg for dinner!

so i reckon ive had about8 points so far , is that correct?

does anyone know how many points the porridge from aldi is as it aint in the shopping WW book?

anyone also know the points value of butchers choice sainsburys cumberland sausgae - they are 135 calories per sausage - help!! as i may eat them all very soon!

how much sat fat?

Hello!! I had porrige with banana too Jaz, it was surprisingly tasty. I'm sure aldi porridge is the same as any.
Keep away from the sausages!! They are loaded with points....well, they are either 2.5 to 3 points each.
How often should I weigh myself do you think? I don't want to demotivate myself by doing so too much.

Hi Jaz 236, sorry i dont know points values!?

Well i've had a really good day today

This morning had black tea and cereal with SS milk..'thought' i was still hungry as my portion was smaller than id normally have so put some more in..and i ACTUALLY could NOT eat them!!1...so for the first time in my lardy life.....I LEFT THEM!!!..my mum will be speechless!

This afty i had 2 eggs made into omlette with dash of milk in two dry slices of toast and smidge of tom sauce

For dinner ive had 2 slices dry toast(am seeing a pattern emerge here, didnt used to be a big rbead eater..will look at that!
with lean(no fat at all) grilled bacon and some grated cheese with almost a full punnet of cherry toms

have jsut drank water and sugar free cordial today and lots of it as so warm and had a good walk out this morn with mindeees to playgroup and ofcourse the 3 school runs, so am hoping to lose...but i didnt get weighed on mine, just nurses and dont go back till week on monday?, so wont 'really' know till then

Hope everyone else has had nice / good day too...me and dp are going to look round local swish gym on sat, it has an offer were you pay for one month and are not tied in, so no more to pay if you dont like it, but if you do you only need to sign up for 6 months instead of 12!..its very centerparcsish..lovely

today i have had

fruit for breakfast
tuna salad for lunch

slim fast for tea

and prob have a hot choc in a bit.....

feel really in control atm long may it last... could be the hypnosis? not sure

still dont want to weigh myself yet as i want and need a big loss

jaz- what is the cals and sat fat of the porridge?

Well done CS..i feel like that too atm, dp and i are going to look round gym on sat, they have months offer on at min, so can go for month and see how it goes then join if we like it!

per sausage the sat fat is 4grams per sausage - is this good or bad, ive eaten 2 now!!

oh and meant to say, as much as i feel fab having not been snacking and eating choc, i DO wonder if i will actually lsoe any weight?, these tabs only suppress my appetite, nothing else..so if im not following a plan such as ww or sw..will i still lose????

135 cals per sausage and 4grams of sat fat.

wow ur on slim fast for tea??

pinkchick ur good have no butter on your toast

jaz- 3 points each... were they nice?

yep just trying the slimfast for tea... just in the few weeks before my date..... need to lose as much as poss

didnt do workout dvd today as dd2 woke up before me

oh my gawd the sausages were gorgeous!! with a tomato and onion adn garlic sauce - absolutely devine - had loads of veg with it.

have u tried davinas dvd?

sounds delicious......

no i havnet tried that one... i do the vikki binns one

hopefully dd2 will sleep in tomorrow and i will feel like jumping out of bed to do dvd before she wakes up

is the vicky binns one any good/

i have dug out the cindy crawford one!..it IS fab!

Seems like we're all being very good doesn't it!

last night for dinner i had a whole packet of Ainsley Cous Cous (i'm addicted to the stuff at the mo ), Thai chicken breast and a big pile of salad. It was yummy and only about 8.5 points for a huge plateful!

oh how many points for the cous cous - well ive just done the davina dvd, could only manage the warm up

The whole pack is 5.5 points, which i think is outstanding value for pointage because there's loads of it!

Well done for doing the DVD! You might have only managed the warm up, but at least it's a start, eh?!

yum the couscous sounds good.....I have got the aldi one atm......

great that you did the warm up... you will improve and do more in time

I like vicky binns one as it is 15 mins sections so i just chose which section to do each morn

hmmmmmm i dunno about the davina on, she has a great bod, but the warm up was really easy. ive been for walk with baby today and im going to make my own popcorn tnite as big brother is on!! no fat in home made popcorn

But Jaz, warm ups are designed to get your heart going a little and to warm up your muscles so that you dont injure yourself by working out on cold muscles! If it's toooo easy, perhaps you could up the intensity of it??

Enjoy your popcorn!

ohhohhhh big brother didnt know that started tonight
every year i think it is on for X number of weeks and i can lose X ammount of pounds by the time it ends but the end arrives and i havent lost a thing
This year will be different!!!! i will have lost loads

yup im exactly the same as u choco thinking i will loose the pounds by the time the prog is over.

ive just been on the treadmill and was really going for it, then heard baby crying his head off and had to come on the treadmill -once he was calmed down with hubbie i went back on adn had no motivation, the moemnt was gone! UNBELIAVABLE!!
