To be honest, I was a bit disappointed - it was extremely busy but the leader literally weighed me and sent me on my way. I haven't got a tracker (I can't see one in the starter pack) and there was no mention of any sort of guide to how much I need to lose, the 5% thing or anything. Is that normal, the way it works now?

Hello, I went to my first meeting last week and it was quite helpful so I think you've been unlucky! Are there any others you can go in your area? She said I could lose a further 5% now (I'm quite near my target after a few months of WW online.)

I have a Tracker in the blue folder but I track online as it's just easier to see how much you've saved...or spent!

Ask your leader for a tracker next time. They look quite different now they are a small insert that goes into that folder thing you were given at your first WI. Also the 'how much weight to lose' thing is in one of the books that you are given. You get one every week that fits into that folder for the first 5 weeks.

I have all mine I can dig it out for you and let you know what your healthy weight range is? How tall are you?? If you tell me your weight (pm if you want) I can also work out your 5% and 10% for you if you like.

I had WI today

-2lb

Woo hoo!! Am annoyed though as if it had been 1/2lb more I would have got my silver 7. Grrr. I should have gone for a wee/poo first! I am aiming for 2 1/2lb next week because that takes me to 12 something on the WW scales rather than 13 something. Hugely motivating!!

So I am off to update sig! Has the first post been updated?

1.6 pts down. 5.4lbs to go!

*Vikki*

Lost a pound, now 11 stone 7lbs!

Thanks to all who replied - there are a couple of other meetings in my area so if it doesn't improve I shall seek out another.

Can you track online even if you aren't signed up to the online plan?

My first day is coming to an end and I am so damn hungry even though I have eaten loads! I remember this from last time, the first week being hard - all I have thought about all day is food. I am not doing the quick start plan, just starting on 21pts. I read through the folder last night and have worked out my 5% so I am ok there. Also took heart from the fact that I can have my favourite Frankie & Benny's pizza for just 12pts, and I never eat a full one anyway :T

3pts left, might go and raid the cupboads :rotfl:

Hi. I don't know if it's relevant, but one meeting our leader said something that surprised me - she said that you should have your points quota, otherwise you won't lose weight. (which is why I have just enjoyed 2 fat free yogurts!)

Hello can I join you all??:T

I've been on weight watchers online for weeks now and have lost 4lb so far!! I took advantage of the quidco thing !:money: I'm loving it online at the moment, seem to be pretty full most of the time, it was hard for the first couple of days but now I think I'm in my stride. Also,have been to Poundland and stocked up on loads of WW treats. I'm loving the Nacho cheese crisps and White Choclate and Raseberry Cookies!

Please could I be added to the thingy on the front page?? My username is Poffigirl and I want to be 9st 7oz. Started off at 10st 2 but now I'm 9st 12oz so doing ok so far. I'm 34 and am 5'3 1/2''!

I was interested to see that yur supposed to eat all your points, I've been trying to save mine but to be honest, at the weekend I usually use what I've saved. I went out for Tapas twice last week and still lost weight :j:j

Congrats to everyone who have had losses!!!
