........ Hi tazza, there are quite a few of us here with SW experience, so you'll hopefully get any questions answered.
If you do SW right, you will lose weight in a good proportion to how much you want to lose i.e. if you have a lot to lose then you will lose a lot. It only works if you really do stick to it though - no 'forgetting' syns, and no "ah well this little bit wont matter".
Good luck with it.0 -
Well done furrypig :j :j and what a great idea :T Do you take it in turns to meet in each others homes or in a pub (or whatever)? Rosemary Conley started out in a similar way

Hi thanks for the welcome everyone
so far we have met in the same house as her husband works nights so means she doesn't have to spend out on a babysitter and 3 of us car share so we are being very good!!
Have drunk so much water today keeps me feeling full but the downside is I keep needing to pee!!
Must try and find some of your slimming recipes as I have just cut out lots (eg all sweet stuff,cheese and oils) and have been eating lots of veg with ocassional pasta, cous cous, bread and meat. But getting a bit bored!!
Well done everyone you are an inspiration to me (the newbie weight loser!):beer:0 -

- mine is shabby chic and DD's is crumpets. I got mine in the sale but DD's is from this years autumn collection. I couldn't believe how many 'places' there are in my bag, because I like things organised rather than everything in one place where you end up having to take everthing out of your bag just to find one thing :mad: ...
...Welcome tazzababe I hope you enjoy it with us here :j on the Lose Weight thread, I thought I'd better mention LW just in case you thought you were on the handbag thread ...
...I need to read through today's posts (only had a quick glance) and be back later re the things that some of you have asked, there is also some tennis on Sky (ATP Washington final) that needs my immediate attention ...
xxxxI wish that I could be the oldest AND wisest....sadly it's not the latter
but my time will come _party_ wooooh hoooh! Beware!!!!!!!0 -
In the WW welcome book, tinned tomatoes are listed as zero points.
Using the points calculator, a tin comes out at 1.5 points.
What's the story?

Ajax as far as I remember, all food has a calorie value, so if you're calorie counting then you need to count the cal in vegetables as well. WW decided for healthy eating purposes and to encourage their members to eat more vegetables to make them a "free" food. It's highly unlikely that members would binge on veggies whereas you may eat a lot of fruit because of the natural sugars. That's why fruit have points and most vegetables don't.
Short answer - don't count the points on vegetables if the book says they're free. ( sigh! :rolleyes: I've never known anyone to point ANYTHING when the book says it's a free food:rotfl:) If the book says it's free - then don't question it! My WW leader always used to tell us that if the points calculator had a higher value than the book, then you had to count the higher value. (hence, no-one questioning the values in the book- cheating I know, but still!)
Off now to finish watching Top Gear. HTH.

Its been raining cats n dogs here all day.
Mind you did hear on the radio that in some places it was the hotest day of the year for some lucky peeps.
Bit upset as have heard a lot of the cats that are missing round here (including one of mine) may have been used for dog fighting in Edinburgh:eek: :eek:

Hi all. Hope you all had a jolly weekend and most of you had sun (not beanielou - Sorry!) . Was glorious here in London all weekend.
Ajax - Been away from the computer but I am back now and I am happy to do you a weight loss chart on excel if you PM me your info or PM me for my email address to send it to. Likewise, if anyone else wants me to produce you a graph of your weightloss journey I am happy to do so. Petrichor's graph took about 30 seconds to produce so it is no bother at all...
I have a meeting tomorrow over lunchtime and I really want to take in my own salad rather than have to eat horrid full fat sandwiches but my DH says it is both weird and rude. I am not being given lunch as hospitality but simply as a way to be able to continue the meeting into the afternoon. Anyone else have an opinion about taking one's own food into a business meeting? I think it is more weird to eat nothing than to just pull out your own stuff. I have done it before years ago but just wanted to ask what you thought....
OK - off to sleep now. The new week beckons. I REALLY hope I have achieved a noticeable loss this week. My frame seems to be getting smaller but my weight loss seems to have really slowed down and it annoying. Oh well.0
