Thanks Flourgirl, that's really helpful, I know what to aim for now.
If you have any more ideas for low calorie but filling foods then please share

Freeze grapes and suck on them like boiled sweets

Freeze a yoghurt - it takes ages to eat with a spoon once it's frozen. You have to scrape it out.

Ooooo elysia thats just reminded me of fat free yogurt and frozen fruit chucked in the blender to make a sort of ice cream, it makes lots of noise but is yummy.

Im just about to have 2 slices of ww bread (toasted) and a laughing cow light cheese triangle and a cup of tea (1.5 ww points)

Well done Flourgirl - I've just had an options hot choc 39 cals and so tasty.

I'm chomping at the bit to get to ww on Tuesday evening - I think by body is trying to tell me something

Well done on the yogurt, - loved the hold out at dinner time.

Hello all
can I join please? I want to lose about 4 stone - I haven't weighed myself in months but will wigh myself when I visit my mum later on for tea.
I'm Sarahe and i did ww in 1992! I hit 45 last year and have 3 children 9,7,and 5 that I need to start setting a good example to.
I need to eat better and exercise more. I'm hoping that an internet group will
a) save me money - if I put £3 in a jar each week when I weigh on Monday then I can save for something nice
b) to keep me on the straight and narrow - when I've done it at home I give up after 2/3 weeks
c) read success stories and help encourage others - I did the biggest loser one for a few weeks and having a 'buddy' helped

So what do I need to measure? Weight in kg or stones and lbs?
Do I measure any other bits of me?
Is the first goal the first week in Feb or will it be every monday?

how exciting . . . .. .

Hi

Welcome to the thread, def agree with the idea of money in the jar, think of the treats.
Measure - Id think I'd need 2 tape measures joined together!! as weight which ever you find easiest to work in, I usually do lbs and stones - but I've just used kg for me as thats all my gp tells me, -

We're casual and loose on here, basically go for the 1st week in Feb, that way were all be near scales somewhere.

If you put a goal to how much you want to lose or anything, its free and easy approach, what ever anyone feels comfortable with. xx

Think 1970 some of our parents were busy - must have been the 70s powercuts (sorry I have an odd sense of humour, but a heart of gold).

Hope hubby takes you somewhere nice.

This is quite weird - updating the list on paper, ready for the post, before I'd even got round to your post I'd already wrote sa ready - def foresee a success here xx
