    Brilliant news on the weight loss - I too would like to hear about what you are enjoying. I have really fallen off the wagon and need to get back on.

    It's not hard work at all...I eat anything I want to in the right portion sizes...I eat take aways as well and I can drink alcohol,eat chocolate,crisps etc if I want to as long as I'm within points...obviously if I choose to eat a lot of crap but stick to points I'll still lose weight but be hungry.

    today I've had
    1/2 pint milk
    banana
    jacket potato,tuna,hellmans extra light mayo and salad
    1/2 portion of young chow fried rice ,prawn curry,2 chilli crispy chicken wings,3 large barbecue spare ribs
    water
    sugar free vimto
    cups of tea

    and all within points.

    on top of this I could've eaten as much fuit and veg as I wanted except peas/sweetcorn....

    I'll post this weeks meals every day if you like and then you'll get an idea of how easy this weight watchers is.

    Bought a pedometer today at WWs and will start to walk more.
    Also went to gym where DD2 works today and was talking to one of the instructors and shes offered that she'll take me for a personal training session once a week for an hour and build my strength up slowly...I'm already a member and will be starting once I come back from my break...thought that was very kind of her...looking forward to that

    Thats excellent, Taxi - I like the idea with WW that you have your own choice about being hungry or eating carp :)

    today I had

    55g of this yummy organic cereal ..was a free sample with 125ml skimmed milk and banana

    Nandos...half a chicken,spicy rice and corn on cob followed by bottomless frozen yoghurt

    2 slices wholemeal bread toasted spread with 2 dairylea light triangles.

    DH had an unexpected day off and decided to take us for lunch will be eating a lot more fruit and veg tomorrow as meals will be at home.

    I earned 4 activity points today according to my pedometer as I walked 3.39 miles over the course of today doing 7918 steps being the size I am I only have to walk just under 4000 steps before it starts earning the points and it's all automatic so not as if I even have to work it out.

    Had to go to DRS today as my bad booby was agony ...got antibiotics and pain killers and have to phone Breast cancer nurse tomorrow as DR thinks I may have infection and it is filled with fluid again.

    Am thinking about doing a new diary but don't know how to do links would somebody do a link for me if I do please?

    need to go as off my head here...lol

    def agree re new diary, its a new start, so a new diary would be fitting.

    Love the sound of the WW points, - seems to be realistic food and family based meals.

    That gd news as well re gym. xx

    thanks love the WW plan as it's so easy once you get your head around it..the reason I'll post what I eat each day is to show that people don't need to starve themselves to lose weight.
