thanks dontdillydally.
I've chucked out all the junk food and stocked up with loads of fruit. Bought a few boxes of WWs snacks for when I need a sweet treat. I am determined to do it this time as want to sign up for a charity trek to raise money for Great Ormond St Hospital. Hopefully that will keep me motivated

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/06/2009 13:43

well done gossip

never mind dillydally, dont give up hope

and yes sounds like your friend isnt eating her points

welcome mumoverseas

my weigh in tomorrow

sighs -its not going to be good after last weekend

GossipMonger · 18/06/2009 14:41

Never mind dd.

A lady was at WW yesterday and was telling me how she had lost 6stone in a year!! she looked great.

She was a bit peed off though as she had been to a WW conference last week and eaten what she presumed to be WW portioned low cal healthy food and then found out it wasnt and had put on 5.5lbs

Lol!! But she was there and was being weighed and didnt let it put her off so if we have bad weeks we put them behind us and MOVE ON!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/06/2009 15:22

a ww conference and no ww food

i lost 4stone in 11mths before on ww - so i know it can be done - well done your lady on 6stone

plus i have a very nice pair of trousers i want to get back into

remember 1 lb a week = 52lbs a year=just under 4stone!!!

mammyto1 · 18/06/2009 16:19

Hi all and well come mumoverseas,

i have my weigh in tomorrow too blonde. I am at a handbag and sunglasses party tonight and know i will have a glass or wine or 2 so will probably will put on.

smirnie · 18/06/2009 22:37

Well, 2 days in and I've been very good.

I'm trying to find some low point treats though for when my willpower starts fading and I was looking at Curly Wurlys. Can anyone confirm whether they are 2 points? That's what I've worked them out to be but it seems v low!

mammyto1 · 19/06/2009 06:23

Hi smirnie they are 2.5pts.

I have lost 3/4 of a pound this week

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/06/2009 12:38

well done mammy

i have stayed the same, which i am amzed about

does this mean i can eat pizza,chinese and have lots of wine every week?

mammyto1 · 19/06/2009 13:10

If only blonde eh!!

I feel rough today, anyone have an good hangover cures and don't cost lots of points

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/06/2009 13:28

water and aspirin

if you have a hangover does that mean you had one over the eight last night?

GossipMonger · 21/06/2009 22:20

bump

mumoverseas · 23/06/2009 15:56

bugger, getting weighed tonight and have a bad feeling. Started the week so well but then went out for a meal with friends saturday and have had a stressful few days so think I've blown it already

OhBling · 23/06/2009 18:13

my question is about eating out at burger places? A burger nevre seems to be less than about 15 points if you look at the WW points, and that's for 100g - and most burgers are more than that.

I'm going for burgers with a friend tonight at a local place where they do great burgers but based on the TGIF value (i figured it was closest) I need to allocate about 30 points to one burger.

And frankly, I could eat 30 teaspoons of butter for that and I cannot believe a burger is at that level?

mumoverseas · 23/06/2009 18:46

30 points! that can't be right surely.
I would have thought that if you have a plain burger, ie no cheese and gunk on it, except of course salad, it would be half that.

Just been weighed and was gobsmacked. Lost 4 1/2lbs! I will have to try not to get too excited though as it was only week 1. Even so, dead chuffed as I'd been a little naughty at the weekend but then I was rushing around after the kids.

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/06/2009 20:33

4.5lbs well done

i was bad at weekend friends bday and then fathers day- both involved meals and booze(am i ever good at weekends )

but been good since

hws everyone else doing?

mammyto1 · 24/06/2009 07:14

Hey all I like the rest of you have been naughty over the weekend so not expecting a loss.

ohbling - in my little book it says a plain burger from a takeaway is 5 points with nil else on it. When I get home I will have a look at my eating out guide, at work at the mo.

OhBling · 24/06/2009 15:04

Thanks mammy.

I think I've worked ut the confusion - it's because the online system has to have a basic grammage amount so 1 portion defaults to 100g but really, it's just one burger.

So a TGIF burger is 15 points?

Missed my weigh in. Will weigh myself tonight. But it won't be too good. I'm really really struggling to get past this 12 stone hurdle.

mammyto1 · 24/06/2009 16:14

ohbling - the one with the lowest points at TGIF is the chicken burger at 11pts, and the hamburger is 15.5pts

sockadoodledo · 24/06/2009 19:23

Hello all
I'm going to go to my first ever meeting tomorrow if all goes to plan. Going to buy the monthly pass before as its on offer and you get free stuff.
When you go to the meeting do I get there early and say hi to the leader. Or just take a seat and be dealt with, or wait til the end? I'm a bit nervous!
cheers

GossipMonger · 24/06/2009 19:35

Got sloshed at a PTA do last night and had the hangover from hell today! and put on 1.5lbs!! at myself!

Onwards and upwards!!! I will put it behind me and move on.

My friend lost 7lbs in her first week today!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/06/2009 20:03

pta - whats tthat stand for parents take alcohol

Kayzr · 25/06/2009 07:46

Hello!!

Sorry been awol!! I've been stupidly busy the last 2 weeks.

At the weekend I got very very drunk. Worked out at 3 bottles of wine!! I don't think I even want to know how many points are in it!! So then spent Sunday feeling like death and having to drink normal coke as it was the only thing that made me feel human!!

So after my relapse at the weekend I am now back with a vengence(sp).

Asda's version of special K and milk - 2pts

WW soup and slice of ww bread - 2 pts

Curry - 9.5pts

That gives me 13.5 points so might have an apple of something later.

smirnie · 25/06/2009 09:25

sockadoodledo just turn up and join the queue! When you get to the front just tell them it's your first week and they will sort you out!

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/06/2009 10:43

nothing wrong with wine

and think as you were so hunover on sunday, you prob didnt eat much

i have been goodish this week (apart from weekend),but not couting on much hope for a loss

dietqueen · 25/06/2009 16:50

Cockadoodledo - you will be fine, good luck.
I put on ½ pound last week so really hoping to have lost that and perhaps one more - will report in later!!!
