Wow - can't believe how many people are on this thread. How many have you got signed up now Yorkie?

Oh and were we supposed to send you starting weights last week, or just send them with first loss/gain/whatever this week? And are those of us who were here last year starting again from this years starting point and zero loss/gain so far, or carrying on from last year?

I haven't done really well so far, am dreading the scales... I have found a ww meeting I can attend, so might start going to that, it's tomorrow. I lost weight last year with ww but doing it online and after a couple of months just sort of, well, gave up really...

As for carrots I have a good recipe for those, it's called Interesting Carrots:

Peel carrots and cut on the bias in slices about 1cm thick. Heat a little oil in a heavy frying pan, tip in the carrots and sauté until they smell nice and start to colour. Stir occasionally. Then season with salt & pepper, garlic, ginger, etc (whatever you fancy really), moisten with stock, water, balsamic vinegar, white wine, passata, etc (again, it?s up to you) and cover. Cook on low heat for about 10 min.

It's yummy!

hi beth, how awful if they were still there, hope he's ok?has the place been secured again yet?

think its funny that s.w have cone all trendy and are calling sins 'syns' now
i lost quite a bit of weight with s.w but never stick to it to get to were i want to be.

have had a good day today though...got the munchies around 3 o clock and had 4 or 5 chedders with dairylea on with dd, but by 5pm i was still stuffed, so missed tea and had a bowl of cereal about an hour ago. pleased cos eating the chedders made me feel guilty, but now feel much better{smile]

hi marj, hoping this will be my year too, been fat for too long..have you had a good day?

twig...are you ok now???
i also couldnt find a thing to eat when doing a red day on s.w....used to eat crab sticks in s.w garlic sauce or prawn with jacket spud as he..erm thats about it needless to say, i generally stuck to green days

hi yorkie have you had a good day?, bet you felt great after getting weighed
are we meant to email you with our losses or just put them on here?

have just emailed you

Twiglett, you've gotta keep going. Especially if you are cutting down on the bfeeding (usually a crisis time for me weight wise). If it makes you feel any better I stuck to the diet rigidly last week and put on 2lbs too .

We could grit our teeth through this week together??? I'm sure it will be better next week. Definately write everything down too, always makes me think twice about eating something if I've to put it down in black and white!

Hi Evesmama, did have a good day until a little while ago when I raided my left over Roses from Christmas. Not good but didnt eat as many as I would have normally, managed to stop after eating about 6 - good for me!! How about you - good or bad day?

good..only cos i gave my tin of roses to dp to take to work otherwise id have munched my way through them! am optimistic so far, hope i can stay this way!
got another day in the house tomorrow though as dd is full of cold poor little thing, but if i take her to doc(sore throat too), ill have to demagnetise myself from the choccy counter in morrisons

I work part time and find it much more difficult to stick to the diet when I am at home with ds. Too much food in the cupboard to tempt me.
Hope dd is ok. STAY AWAY FROM THE CHOC COUNTER!!

have emailed you my loss, yorkiegirl - 1lb

I heroically gave away the last 2 boxes of christmas chocolates so am now reduced to eating healthier food.

Evesmama - I put on weight when full time at home, it must be a mixture of all that food nearby and not getting time to exercise properly.

Morning everyone. hope a good day awaits. I have started well with a big bowl of shreddies and skimmed milk - yum! My weigh in isnt til saturday so still have a few days to go. Am hoping to have lost something as I havent been too bad. Have a healthy day!!

Dear YorkieGirl

Please can I join the losers - so to speak! I am following WeightWatchers but am trying to do it without going to the club. I need as much help as I can get. Of to Oasis in early March and need to be able to wear swimming cossie. My DD2 is now 5 months old so it's definitely time to try and shift that preggers flab! What do I do to join you...!

hi looneymum, incase yorkie's at work..just email your starting weight and how you do each week to [email protected] and shell keep a record for you

Demented how did you put on weight when you stuck to it rigidly???

how are you today twiglett

So happy 1.5lbs lost despite party Survived my first weigh-in!!

Back on diet today Evesmama

(however I did take 2 biscuits to bed with me last night .. not cos I wanted them mind .. was just feeling rebellious)

that the past twiglett
it was only a minor laspe

well, marj, i even went to the choccy counter to put lottery on and i didnt even flinch!!!

Thanks Evesmama - I have e-mailed my starting weight so there's no going back now! As I said, I am following WWs through the week followed by a "night off" on Saturday! I don't imagine WWs would approve but hopefully the thought of a few glasses of vino and a takeaway will keep me on the straight and narrow. Are you following something specific or just trying to cut back?
