Hi all i've joined ww online, 2 wks ago as managed to lose a stone last yr then put about 4 lbs of it on again last month eating too many hot cross buns!Everyone kept buying them for me as i love them and i am quite capable of having 3 in one go!

Started 2 wks ago, if scales correct lost 2 lbs last wk and nxt wi tomorrow so hoping at least 1 lb. Weigh about 10stone but pre baby weight was 8st8 so want to get back to that. Nxt goal tho is 9st7 then i will be just inside the healthy bmi.

Only problem is i haven't had a crisp cake or anything like that for 2 wks now , had 19 points left over last wk(did lots of walking) and so far have about 17 this wk, and am dying for a jammy dodger but know if i eat one i'll eat the lot! Not really eating between meals as finding it hard to make those points stretch, don't eat meat either. Anyone else find it hard on that amount of points? I keep goin to bed xtra early just so i don't go in the kitchen lol.
Chipps how do you eat on 17 points?!! Must be getting thru lost of lettuce?!

Oh I am 5' 6. Probably not the best to compare with then as you are shorter than me and have lost loads! Well done you!! Thats just amazing, you have done so well!

Anyone my height and similar weight?

I'm 5ft 7 and 11st 5lbs if that's close enough for you? A bit of healthy competition might just be the focus that I need lol

5ft 7 and 12st this week... desperate to get down to 11st 7 in next month!!!

Have been at it online since October and lost 1st 9 and now joined a meeting to get some motivation going again. Trying the roasted veg & goats cheese recipe tonight and got a few spare points afterwards for a treat!

Good luck everyone x

at Vicky_74 and Elfgirl - I am 5ft 7 and my GOAL weight is between you two at 11st 7!! Ha ha. That makes me BMI 25.

Didn't go to WI on tuesday in the end. I wasn't very well so coudn't motivate myself. Back there this week though. You woudl think I would have been good wourn't you? Nope. Worse. What is wrong with me?

Fran thats excellent, well done you :T

I am going to my first meeting back in my hometown on Tuesday, its the funniest thing in the world as all of the people involved are a bit mad and spend most of the time arguing with each other so it's always entertaining and I leave with a smile on my face, even if I havent done so well.

I find that knowing I have the weigh in on scales that I cant fiddle with beforehand keeps me a bit more focused than if i was doing it at home myself.

I think my target weight is totally unrealistic to be honest - the only time I've ever been at that weight is when totally heartbroken and unable to eat at all! However have kept the clothes from last time so would be nice to get them on again lol.

Sometimes its really hard to get motivated and stay that way - I either have a super good day or a super bad day - no inbetween for me!! But you can only do the best you can and I try not to beat myself up too much when I'm bad - you're here for a good time, not a long time.

All my super skinny friends either deny themselves all of the things that they crave or have serious issues with food - at least you know you are going at things sensibly and at your own pace.

So what is your target at the moment Elfgirl?
My mini target is 11st 7 and I want to get there asap! The reason I am in a hurry is I am trying on wedding dresses later this month and once I've ordered a dress I can't afford to lose too much more weight.
But overall I would like to be between 11st and 11st 7 as I feel like this is a healthy weight I could maintain and would put me at size 14 - slim but still curvy! I haven't been a size 12 since I was about 13 years old and can't even imagine that!

My ultimate target is 10 stone exactly. That wouldn't make me super skinny but I know I'd feel a lot happier with myself. You've done amazingly well to have had that loss by doing it all online - there's no way I would have been able to sustain that without the weigh ins to keep my focus.

It doesn't matter what your target weight is at the end of the day - as long as you're healthy and you feel good about yourself, then that's all that matters. And I bet you feel pretty amazing about yourself given how well you've done so far - and if you don't, you should!!!
