to ask if anyone's interested in a 2017 Weight Watchers thread?

[JenniferYellowHat1980]

First off, I know there's a dedicated area in big/slim/whatever but I'm after traffic as it's a bit quiet in the WW section. Second, I know that 5:2 and low carb are popular on MN but neither of them suit me whereas I've lost weight with WW in the fairly distant past and regained due to unrelated issues which I'll leave out for now. I'm sure there are plenty of opinions on why it doesn't work but for me it does.

Just wondering if anyone is thinking of signing up and would like a support thread over on the WW board. I have at least 4st to lose and would appreciate it. I can't go to meetings as they don't fit in with work, so will be doing it online (half price on the website at the moment and Top Cashback give a few quid back). Anyone in?

Went out for dinner tonight, my friend chose Cafe Rouge. It was really hard to find points for it so just picked a chicken salad which was quite nice. Was starving when I got home though so had a slice of ham wrapped round a babybel 😀.

Anyone on WW connect?

Ah nice to be remembered Paws :) - let's get intmthat second stone zone!

Giraffe - I do look at connect sometimes but find all the pictures a bit much and don't stay long enough to make friend's IYKWIM, I much prefer it here

thehoundschicken this is the recipe jar. It was quite a lot of prep but I made up 2 at the same time. It needed a little more flavouring (I might add some Chinese Five Spice next time) and it took about 10-15 mins for the noodles to soften. Was a good transportable lunch - that was low in points and not a salad

First weigh in (at home) after a difficult week health wise but lost 3.5lbs

Happy with that

Thats great. Well done, I will be over the moon if I get the same result on SAturday !

Thank you for the recipe! Defo one to try for work. My weigh in today fingers crossed

Well 1st weigh in today only 2lb off but it's all good right direction! No social events so hopefully do better next week.

Well done

Well done thehoundschicken! I think social events are really hard to deal with especially as a lot of them revolve around food, alcohol or both, even with the weekly points.

Does anyone have the eating out smart points guide? I've had problems with weight watchers sign up (took 4 provisional hold amounts on my account but no membership) I'm going out to chaopayra thai restaurant in a week and they don't list their nutritional information, any recommendations for a moderate points meal would be greatly appreciated

2nd weigh in

2lb loss

I do need to get better at eating during the day though -had nothing to eat today until 6pm
No time for breakfast this morning due to not realising it snowed so ended up in a massive rush snow was gone by lunch very disappointing lunch I had an emergency to deal with so didn't get chance

Home at 6pm and I've eaten crap -in points crap but still crap

Well done Emo that's a good loss for a second weigh-in.

I've FAILED big time today. I've been fed up so eaten a ton of chocolate, no excuses I just pigged out 🐷. I'm wondering if I will ever do this, it's only the second week and I've messed up. 🙁

poorpaws everyone has tough days

(Puts teacher voice on)

Remember failing is the first step on the learning journey

-seriously the reason we are on this thread is because we all need to learn how to manage our emotional eating. I bet all of us could talk for ages about healthy eating and calories etc -yet we are still overweight

This thread is for support when we have crappy days

What was it that made you hit the chocolate?

Hi, can I join please? I joined WW end of October and have lost about 16 lb and only another 6 to go but seem to be lacking in willpower at the moment. This is probably because I am quite happy at this weight but I need some wiggle room so a bit more would be good.
Thanks for the instant noodle recipe link - I was looking for this earlier today but couldn't find it!

3lbs off this morning. Very pleased. Got my mojo for another good week hopefully

Congratulations

Good job on all the losses.

Poorpaws don't kick yourself. It's the 20/80 rule. If you can stick with it 80% of the time, you'll succeed. It's just one day, draw a line under it and see how you feel tomorrow

Emo I don't know what went wrong yesterday but I just felt really fed up. Today has been worse! I had a fall today (slipped on a muddy slope) and hurt my shoulder. I think I went into shock and slept all afternoon, woke up hungry and just hit the chocolate again. It's always chocolate with me and I still have loads left from Christmas. I'll try again tomorrow but I'm dreading weigh-in.

So pleased everyone else is dong well, keep it up and I hope to catch up with you all soon. Well done namechanged that's brilliant.

Oh my god

A sausage bean a cheese pasty is 17 points

17!!!!!!

That will teach me to mindlessly pick something whilst I'm out shopping

I knew it wouldn't be good 17???

Salad for tea then

Hi all. Sorry to have disappeared. I was doing really well the first week then ruined all my efforts on a night out and a difficult week at work. However, onwards and upwards. I'm not letting myself off that easily.

I gained three quarters of a pound, which although bad, considering what I ate for two days could have been much worse.

Deep breath ...

And start again.

Good lesson learned hey Emo you won't do that again.

Good luck to everyone at weighin, I'm looking forward to reading your losses.

Oh heck I've just found I'm going out for lunch tomorrow and one of my favourite places, that's going to be hard.

At least your meal out is the day after weigh in so you've got the rest of the week to be on plan

Hi all! 2nd weigh in & 4lb loss this morning taking me to 7lbs so far. Loads to go but I'm glad it's shifting as I was worried about breast feeding and all my points but it seems to be working thankfully!

3.5 off in my 1st week. I'm happy enough as I had a few blips :)

Just need to keep at it now

Bah only half a pound off. I have been snacking on nuts a bit too often and had non slimline tonic with my gins this weekend so that may be why. I am going to increase the exercise this week and get some low point snacks (fruit I suppose, any other suggestions?)
