    Does anyone have any particular recommendations from the Weight watchers recipes online? Just trying to get a little inspiration...
    Our faves are the Lemongrass & Lime Herby Kebabs and the Moroccan Chicken.
    Going to try the Chicken & Sausage Gumbo on Sunday.

    Weigh in for me this morning and I stayed the same this week. Im happy with that as last weekend I was really bad and ate lots and lots of naughty stuff including a burger king and dominoes and sweets, it was because I was doing the moonwalk so had a bit of a treat lol.........anyway been back on it since and back on it now. I do have another bad weekend next weekend though and wont be able to get on the scales. GOing to be good till I go away and then as soon as I get back, I wont be weighing for two weeks so fingers crossed I see a loss by then lol. THese last few pounds are going to be the hardest lol!

    Hello all, wondered if i could jump in on this thread? Long story short, I am 46 and am a lifetime battler with my weight.Health issues are appearing so I Have rejoined weightwatchers yesterday and need to make and keep a major lifestyle change. This is not a diet but a new way of eating.The more support i get the better chance i stand. I also hope i can contribute and support others.Looking forward to reading this thread. Elaine x

    -3lbs for me this week! Worked hard for it so I'm delighted!
    Spent today trying on wedding dresses... very exciting though my brain is a fog now after about 20 dresses. Looking in the mirror I was so pleased for my loss so far (now nearly 2 stone) but will have to stop losing once a dress is chosen and ordered. My original target was 11st 7 (though I would have been pleased to get a little lower!) and I am now 11st 11 so not bad...! A few more weeks at 1lb a week and I'll be a happy bunny! Hope you've all got some sunshine and having a great weekend!:j

    Another 1/2 lb loss. Slow but sure, presumably. Only have 6 lbs to go to reach healthy BMI (have lost 47 1/2 lbs since Oct 2009) Ideally I would like to lose a bit more (would like to have a bit of leeway - not just clinging on to the top end of healthy!) It was nice to go out on Friday and buy some size 12 clothes after years of buying 18 - 20!
