    I started weight watchers about 4 weeks ago - but have lost nowhere near as much as you!!

    I know that some days I am hungry so will bulk out meals with lots of veg/fruit, however I am now finding more often that I prefer to eat something smaller but "proper food" if that makes sense, i.e. hm curry made nice with a splash of cream, or a sunday roast with a fattier cut of meat (more flavour) rather than a bigger portion of plain chicken/turkey. This tends to work out cheaper in the long run too I find.

    Don't bother buying the weightwatcher scales but I do think a set of decent digital scales are excellent when trying to point foods (I do have the WW scales and I think they're fab but they cost around £40) for recipes. I also think the calculator comes in very handy and wouldnt be without mine, think thats around £8 but well worth the money IMO.

    Well done on your loss so far!!! :)

    thanks claire so far i have made veg curry works out good points wise as its almost free...i have bought a good digi scale that cost me £11.99 its good and to be honest i dont have to snack as much as i used to i struggled in the first few days as i snacked when and whatever i fancied which was was really bad i have cut out milk in my brews and have canderel so my brews become free too i seem to wake up wanting breakfast as before i started i would never really eat before 1030-1100 and i felt hungry all day so far i think im doing good i have also gone for a few long walks dont want to push the exercise just yet as my ankle aint likely to take it just yet!

    all in all i think i have done quite well in the 2 weeks so far all i cant say it definatly a step in the right direction for me and my wife..

    Well done on your weight loss. I have lost about 21lb so far on WW, it has taken me about 5 months.

    You should have a look on the WW website. You can get loads of free recipes on there and useful info on the forums.
