[Dozymare]

Says it all really....I am paid up for the next qtr, as was getting fed up of FF.

Dozymare 15st 3lbs(total lost so far 7lbs)

Same as on here

five this is Dozy, I'm coming to get you!!!!!! (said in my best shouty Davina voice)

have sent you a message on WLR five

Right have 'befriended' you both now - can we talk on-line? Am trying to find a way but can't

can't see you as my friend!! Havw got Five though...do you have to email me??

(this is very surreal, talking to a friend online about becoming a fried on another website!)

All joined. I quite like it. Just getting the hang of it really. How do you get friends?

Bit thick here but what is WLR?

www.weightlossresources.co.uk - Susoo come and join us!

jodie what is your log in for WLR - I shall come and be-friend you!!!!!!!

having a great day today, not hungry, not craving junk and had a fab run!

Hi everyone, another 2lb weight loss for me this week .

How do you add friends then? My name on there is the same as here missnatalie. Can someone add me please?

well done missnatalie add yourself to the stats list - I shall be-friend you on WLR!

Hi, I'm jodieMN (how original!) Will try to look on later, but DH and I are planning a Lost marathon. He gets a bit tetchy when I MN while he's around!

Well done Missnatalie. I've been struggling for about 2 weeks now, but have been back on the straight and narrow for 2 days now.

I will not break open the leftover christmas chocolates tonight

hi Jodie - think I foind you!!!!!! check your email on there.....

well i'm a happy bunny today. had a sneaky peek on the scales a couple of days ago and was looking set for no loss at all and then today i'm magically 2lb lighter i'm super chuffed cos i'm only set to a 1lb loss and i thought i might have to drop down from mod active to mod sed but it looks like all the hiking around i've been doing with the pushchair is paying off. oh and i appear to have talked myself into starting running too .

so that puts me at 7lb down so far - phew! back to pre-xmas now i'm expecting it to slow down now i've only got a stone to go, but that's fine by me.

evening all well I am having to do my weigh in tomorrow (rather than Tusday as I planned and have dieted from) as that is when I joined WLR and inputted my data.....Aaarggh - therefore not expecting huge WL tomorrow as was hoping on having another 4 days of being v.good to take into account IYSWIM. Had a shocker today though, and this is a warning to you all.....went into starbucks where I had a skinny caramel macchiato (tis time of the month and craving sweetness) which is 119cals. So far, so good. Also had a skinny stem ginger muffin - no nutritional value, but I presumed around the 200ish mark, 250 tops......Well my dear friends, never, ever presume - when I got home and checked on the starbusks site, it has a whoppiong 424 cals!!!!!!!!!! I could have friggin had chocolate!!!!! AAArgghhhhhh

Still, hit the spot and t'was nice, but a really good example of where "diet" food really isn't diet IYSWIM. Will update you all tomorrow, hope you ahving good days

I had a costa muffin the other day, a lemon one and was hugely shocked about how many calories are in it. You can change your start date Dozy.

Evening all. I;ve got 200 calories left today so sitting here enjoying a small glass of Rose Pinot! Lovely, will help me sleep, no lets hope the little ones do!

I must say, after only 2 days of use I am very impressed, but I don't like trawling through lists and lists of things just to find bog standard ham... With FF you could just tick the unbranded box. Am I being thick, or isn't there an option for this?

Morning everyone - jodie that was really, really bugging me as well - if you look though, the "unbranded" things are highlighted with (IIRC) a blue background? Does that make sense

Ok, so today I weigh 15st 2lbs (which means I have lost 1lb since Monday and I am going to KEEP my weigh in day as Friday, as means I have more days in the week to be good as weekend scoffing/socialising is my downfall!) Have to get out of the habit of thinking that Tuesday is my weigh in day though!!!

My total weight loss therefore is 8lbs

Dozy well done Can you tell the difference in your clothes? I definitely can - my stomach has gone down dramatically - without exaggerating, before I started the diet, I looked 6 months pg and now I don't think I look pg at all

Jodie Dozy is right, you can scroll down quickly and find the lines highlighted in blue - these are the unbranded ones.

I am off to the gym this morning - yay! DS1 back at nursery and DH is working from home - exercise at last!!

Resolution no 1001 - NOT TO LOOK AT SCALES ALL WEEKEND.

I'm a real bugger for weighing myself every time I go in the bathroom. It can make a difference of about 2lbs throughout the day.

Hows everyone getting on?

Well done Dozy.

Mornign all, I am liking WLR I find it a lot more comprehensive then FF, it will be interesting to see if it ever gets up and runnging again.

I used up some spare calories on a bottle of wine last night and 3I am still under for the week sofar.

Been reading about this on here. Never been on ff, everythim i tried it was server down message.

Joined WLR as trial tonight- im in love already. Love the graph and all the cal details.

Im definetly going to join.

First breakfast using WLR - weighed food and measured OJ. Have been drinking more OJ than what a portion is so am surprised by that! My porridge is about the right size as I usually have so was relieved as need my morning porridge lol.

I filled in a pretend day for today, sort of like a plan, and was a bit by how little it is so have made it 1 1/2lb to lose a week, Might up it if I am ok on this. Going to the gym later.

I have splurged the past couple of nights bit still within my total weekly allowance so should be OK.

Interesting 1st February and FF is back on line.

evening all - welcome giraffe gerat name!!! Look us up on WLR - I am my MN name as is Jodie and Fiveindorset.......(IIRC

Have had a bad day today - had friends over for lunch, lots of wine and some crackling....plus a creme egg and DH cooking up a stir fry now!

At least my weigh in is a friday as it gives me 4 days to be super good, am also PT tomorrow and on Wednesday so shoul.d be ok despite being naughty.

Hi All.
Just wanted to say how fab I think WLR is. I used it about 4 years ago and lost 2 stone which I have (mostly) kept off since. For me it was a really convenient way of learning how much I really should be eating for my given lifestyle. It also taught me which of my treats are worth the calories. I found it a really good way to motivate myself to exercise.

My only tips are:
-be realistic about your rate of loss. I went for half a pound a week.
-never cheat. Once you have done it once the temptation becomes too great
-always weigh yourself first thing in the morning or there is too much variability and you can lose confidence in their target calories.
