Oh lecture over

hi kilty. it does happen, IMO it is damned hard to diet with depression. On a good day I always try to convince myself that while X, Y & Z is crap and makes me down, the one thing I can control is my dieting. Then I bugger it up and it makes me feel worse.

That is no help to you, sorry, hang in there.

It's ok riallyEeRiaee i didn't take it that way at all well according to my height 5ft9 i should weigh 9st 9lb but i can tell you i would look ill so i say bout 5st more than the 10lb lost already see im very deceiving..x

sorry yes do 5 red days and 2 green don't really do rice and potatoes love pasta tho, have you tried the quiche? on the green day rialley x

just wondering ckc cos I'm on this thread too.

I'm aiming for 13st, which at 5ft10 is at the top end of my ideal range, but, like you, I would look ill if I was at the bottom end (I would be all protruding hip bones actually). I would love to be a size 16 again. It seems so bloody far away though, and when I think of it in terms of weeks and months of SW meals...

I don't like cheese (except lovely pizza cheese)

how much you got to lose then if i can ask...x

5 stones (min) upwards , it's 4 1/2 years baby weight mainly from DS2 & and a bit from DS3, plus years of depression and stress-eating. And I can't understand how I let it creep on in such vast amounts without doing something and succeding(sp?) before now.

we will get there im sure just seems it takes weeks to put on but years to get rid...x

I don't feel like I am doing very well at the moment, I am struggling to stick to it. But I think I must be doing something right as my belt is much looser! I don't want to go near the scales though.

I wouldn't wait till weigh in day my mate comes with me was buzzing because her scales said she had lost 4lb and when she went for weigh in same day had only lost 1 and a half she was gutted x

Hi All...
how are you all doing?
I have read since my last post, but sadly not really taken much in...sorry...am just soooo dogtired....and yes, why am I on at this time of night...just need to wind down before I can sleep...but dreading 6am start tomorrow, as it will be a long long day...will be lectures and seminars from 9.30 till 7pm yikes...

anyhoo....lost 1 Ib this week and am pelased with that....tbh, I didn't know if I put on or not...was not a bad week, but wasn't a good one neither, iykwim....

Oh lurking....yes, portion control...hm...I don't think much about portion control, lol...

How's it going Freaky? Are you enjoying it though?

It's midweek danger day time. Am going to try really hard today.

Hello all - my my this was an active thread last night!

Ria - I definately thing you need variety.. have you thought about doing weight watchers?

Hugs to KCB, I know all about mood swings and depression recently, and didn't stick to a diet while I was suffering... hence why I went to 1st WI last night and was heavier than I had ever been and over the next STONE!!! Still, it was a kick up the bum to get on track. V annoyed at my brand new bathroom scales though, because I had been relying on them and they told me fibs - that I was 6 1/2 lbs lighter than the WW scales!! if I'd have known It was fibs I'd have been to class a lot sooner.

Still got mixed feelings about WW. I had lasagne with 0 point veg last night and had leftover points, so in total yesterday I had 5 chocolate bars - and was within my daily points! Granted they were diet ones but still, I can't decide if I'm loving the fact that I CAN eat 5 choc bars, or am annoyed with the diet that allows you to think 5 choc bars in 1 day is ok. Hardly re-educating me, is it

Just wanted to check.. is everyone still ok with me still posting on here? The WW thread isn't really very busy and it helps motivate me if I post!

I'm happy with you posting lurking (provided you don't lose more weight than me of course)

I am blinded by fry-lite, had the bloody canister the wrong way round when I squirted...

chickened out of weetabix (yukkity yuk) for breakfast and had my free cooked breakfast instead, but I want to do well today...

Ria - for breakfast I have lots of fruit (pears, peach, frozen berries - whatever I have)a HE of muesli and natural yogurt. It really fills me up and you can change the taste with different fruit.

Just wondering about Muller Light Yogurts...when you look it up online it says FREE but in the SW book under Syns it says "Very low fat fruit flavoured yogurt per 100g - 0.5 syns" which by my estimation would be 1 syn per pot?

I think it depends on the flavour, columbonegrinder. The usual ones are free IIRC but the cheesecake, toffee etc ones are not. I would also go with the online syns as they are more up to date

It also says toffee ones are free...oh well, if they say they are free, who am I to question?

go with it column.

Tommy, when I am in funds I have a big chunky fruit salad in the fridge and have that for breakfast. I don't like using HEBs early in the day. Maybe when I have lost a bit I might manage on a lighter breakfast. When I get round to it I'm going to make a brown rice pudding/porridgey thing - free rice and a HEA of milk?

good idea Ria. I can't get through the morning without a HEB for breakfast though!

Just wondering why most people seem to do green days? I have only done red so far, because it seems to approximate a healthy diet far more than loads of pasta, rice and spuds (a high carb, low protein diet isn't terribly good for you).

I'm also thinking that such a low fat content isn't good for you either (on red or green). Last I heard, even a low fat diet was meant to have 30% healthy fats in it. I seem to be eating no fat at all, so all my syns are used up in peanut butter, extra oil etc (and even then it is very sparing). The idea of being able to use syns for choc etc seems like a cruel joke - I need to use them just to get a balanced diet going.

I heard that people lose weight quicker on the red but find it harder to stick to?

I do green because I don't eat meat. I eat loads of beans, lentils and veg of course. I get my fats from cheese and milk that I take as healthy extras.

I have found it certainly more healthy than Weight Watchers

I do green because it's easier on a budget, amd it's true I do find it easier to stick to because I'd rather snack on SW chips than crabsticks (poor example, sorry)

IMO balanced-diet-wise Rosemary Conley is probably the best I've tried, but it's no fat at all so . I suppose they've all got a different way of selling it to us/packaging it to make it seem easier when what we should be doing is eating a proper balanced diet as you say colum.

But as the proud survivor of another day I'll stick with this for now

BTW those quorn tikka fillets are delish (and dead cheap in those frozen food shops - not Iceland the other one)

anyone know the syns for those aero bubble things?
