Delly - how much will this make - is this a 1 person portion? I make pudding on Sunday (we eat at my mums house) and was wondering could I make this - she is also following sw, but there will be 5 adults eating it.

Honey, sorry I took so long to answer. I usually make half of the recipie for breakfast and usually can't manage it all. I would say to make the full quantities would be 2 generous portions (maybe I'm just greedy). I'd more than double the quantity if you're making it for 5 - just to be sure. Enjoy lunch at your mum's house.

blech this week i put a pound on, i was expecting it after a family celebration.

Just glad it wasn't the 2lbs i lost week before. Pug Senior also celebrated but he had two days off ww, i had one, and he still lost 2lbs the swine:rotfl:

back on the wagon i go...

Cor. Your dad must be so pleased. I smile everytime you post his weight loss as you can imagine after many years of bad habits and just putting on wight how great it is to suddenly discover a diet that you can stick to. Especially for a bloke (women just tend to be professional dieters don't they)

Even with the 1 pound on you're still doing really well plus don't forget it was you that influenced (and now supports) your dad to go to ww so I hope you feel just as chuffed everytime he loses!

Keep it up, the pugs!!

Feeling chuffed myself as managed to run again this morning. Seem to have recieved the kick up the (soon to be skinny) bum as am all motivated to exercise and cook and stuff. Hope it lasts.

Unless you've already tried it i can recommend this healthy crisp recipe (only substituting oil for fry light!) as i made them with sweet potatos last night and both me and the fussy OH loved them. Low cal crisps You may have to play with the recipe (as in how long in microwave to get it perfect but the basic principle applies

Recipe was originally posted here so drop em a thanks if you try it and like it

Ahh thanks!

He is very pleased that WW seems to be working so well for him.

My dad is and has been a serial dieter. He's also in the medical profession so knows everything about food and nutrition and all that, which can sometimes be a nightmare!

The problem we have at the moment is that he is following the WW full choice (where you count points), and I am doing WW no count (where you can only eat certain foods). I find the latter better for me as I was hungry on the pointed plan. He can't believe how much I'm eating - the point is to eat till you are comfortably full at every meal, but it seems to be working for me anyway.

Pug Snr finally consented to WW after his blood pressure went sky high and the doctor said, that's it, we cant do anything else for you, there aren't any more drugs for your to take etc. In terms of being overweight for many years, he has been 'lucky' not to have suffered more ill health than he has.

Now he can see the light (15 stone), which he is aiming to lose by new year. He is now 18 stone 4 lbs, and when he started he was 20.08lbs. I do feel really proud of him, and all the women in the meeting love him which is very funny. He is very dedicated now, he even drove home from work at 7am to get home for a WW meeting.

He doesn't know I'm writing about him on here, but when he gets to goal, I might just show him.

Keep it up everyone:j

Hi,

I think I need a touch of cheeky mole's famous boot!

While I haven't binged or eaten outrageously this week (the worst thing I've eaten was the 3 cadbury's chocolate eclairs today), I haven't written my food down and I've only been on 1 run. Not writing my food down means that although I've eaten only healthy food excepting the eclairs today, I don't know if I've stayed within my calorie allowance. When I don't write my food down, I forget about snacks and other things I've eaten. I anticipate maintaining my weight this week.

I haven't been at my most motivated. Yesterday, all I thought about was going to get chocolate and a mint viennetta from the co-op. I didn't though; it helps that when I really want food like that it also seems far too much work to walk to the shop for it. I don't believe in deprivation but I could tell yesterday that what I wanted was a binge. After my 3 eclairs (bought from pick & mix so there's no more left), I don't feel the need for more chocolate so that's something at least.

Have noticed that my body seems to interpret anxiety as hunger. I had a deadline yesterday, which I met but was anxious about and 'coincidentally' I also really wanted to eat masses of food. I have another deadline next week, and I don't want to binge then either. Must run today or I will be nagged about it to death by OH. It's easier to run than to hear about not having done it. lol.

I'm committed to writing everything down today and going for my run today. Sometimes the hardest part of my run is getting out the door.

Have a good day. lisele

Sitting here mending my bikini as I am off to Spain tomorrow for 4 days. Did try to buy a new one but was too dressed looking at the mirror in the changing room so have to sew this strap back on.

Staying in my bosses large villa 9 of us in total form my company. I am concerned about the bikini but there is a swimming pool so would be a waste not to take it.

The other people going are all women and some are a bit on the large side it is just I don't know them that well and I feel quite fat today. Can't do up the button my my shorts as I am sitting here, does make me want to loose weight. Sorry for sounding so moany didn't mean to I know a lot of you struggle more than me.

Won't be able to do my weekly weigh in Monday for the 2lb club, shall I wait til next Monday or do it Sunday instead? Will try to be good while I am away but everyone in my team likes a drink and my no larger diet is usually off when I am on the Continent as they have such nice largers. Anyway is really rambling on just wanted to say I feel really fat mending my bikini with my shorts undone.

Sorry folks but have decided to drop out of the 2lb club for the imte being - I am actually heavier now than when I started!! Just cannot seem to get the motivation and it seems even worse continually weighing myself and comparing the 'loss'. I will continue to stop by and read everyone;s progress and may come back on board if I get around to kicking myself up the bum sufficiently.

Good luck everyone and, Lois, please just take my name off the list.

I have been to my doctor to request a breast reduction on the NHS. They have always been large even before I put on weight. My doc did warn me the surgery depends on your BMI and mine is 34. I need to get this to under 30 before they consider me and by my calculations thats about 3 stone :eek: The road ahead looks long and gloomy and never ending. I have been dieting for about 4 weeks because my doc said if I showed willing they would probably give me a referral. Now the hospital has written to say no referral until your BMI is under 30. I lost 6 lbs in the four weeks which was really hard work but I probably put half of it back on the last couple of days because I was so fed up with the hospital - they didnt even have a look at me. Initially I thought s*d it why bother but now I realise I do have to lose weight for my own health and instead of moaning about it to try and get on with it.I go an all inclusive holiday in 10 days time for 2 weeks and I dont want to have to stick to a diet when we've paid all this money for the holiday. Also the doctor had me on slimming tablets for one month which can help your weight loss by up to 10% but they have had no effect on me - they work with the fat in your diet. I know its not a quick fix but I need some inspiration to get me going. Is there a quick start diet to get me encouraged. Also she has told me to do some exercise - can anyone recommend a good exercise dvd with decent music I can sing along to as I hate doing them but I know exercise will benefit me. Its very difficult for me to get to a class either exercise or weight loss (they are very expenseive anyway) because my OH does shift work and I have 2 young children. The letter from the hospital asked me to go and see my GP who should 'help and advise' me but now I dont know if its worth going after my holiday (when Ive probably gained weight) or go before and tell the doctor I dont plan to start till after my holiday again - or will she think Im just a time waster. Doc doesnt know about hospital yet because the letter came straight to me. I know this is long but I am so fed up and am not quite sure what the doctor can do to help now. I know its easy to say I got myself this fat and I should lose it but its not quite as cut and dried as that. thanks.
