teasleym, I did the fish and chips thing a few weeks back, was surprised by how greasy it felt - don't get me wrong the fish was very tasty, but the chips I could have done without. I'll save the pp next time and just have the fish.

Mintymoneysaver, I dont envy you that weekend - the socialising will be great but sooo much temptation. Takeaway yum yum lol

Well, I didn't do too badly... I'll admit the takeaway involved sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and some gorgeous prawn toast things, and a couple of glasses of wine,but I hadn't used up too many points before I got there. Saturday wasn't too bad, toast for breakfast, a bacon barm for lunch, but I ate mostly bacon and only a bit of bread. I didn't have any bread with the bbq, so just two sausages, some chicken and plenty of salad, followed by meringues with fresh fruit and just a small spoonful of ice cream!
Sunday was toast, then a scone mid morning at the ice cream farm! The buffet was okay, ate pasta salad, potato salad, a couple of chicken drumsticks and then 2 pieces of cake! No wine though, as I was driving.

I'll have stuck to my 29 points again today, so I'm just hoping that with all the walking I've done this week too, I might just have stayed the same! Just off to have a go on the wii fit for a bit of extra help!

That's what I've been doing the last few times I've had it. ( Usually just after my weigh in!!!)

I'm back from Wimbledon, weigh in day is tomorrow, so no idea how I've done, but think I managed OK. I couldn't really point any of it up, as it was all at concession stands etc.
The prices alone prevented over-eating at Wimbledon, and we took a lot of stuff with us to snack on, fruit and carrot sticks etc. Had the strawberries, but without the cream, not because of WW, but because there was far too much cream and I don't really like it!
Filled up with fruit and yoghurt at breakfast, 2 cups of coffee, but also had a mini Danish. In service stations, just had coffee.
But we did walk for miles!

If I have it again, I'll have a half portion, as I felt stuffed after having it, and that was only a half portion of chips and I didn't eat most of the batter on the fish. Wouldn't have had it but I just "wanted" chips and we couldn't be bothered to cook so it was easy.

Stir fry tonight!

Hello there

I'm thinking about trying WW online and wondered if anyone had any experience of it? I've tried lots of different meetings but stopped going either because I couldn't get there (no car, 2 children and hubby not home from work until 6.30/7pm) or because I binge after a couple of weeks good weight lss and feel too embarrassed to go back.... and then put it all back on plus more

Any advice very welcome

Hmm should have weighed in today but couldn't as I'm on work experience at a school before my teacher training in September. Fortunately I have an appointment in town tomorrow morning so can nip to Boots and see the damage, I've been a bit slack with it this week but I'm 99% sure I was still within my weeklies.

I did the esource thing for a while, and found it really good for recipes etc. But as nobody else was checking my weight, it was easy to slip. That's why I now go to classes.

And on that point, I've lost another pound and a half this week. Which considering the weekend, isn't too bad.

mintymoneysaver

1lb lost, so the takeaway can't have been too bad! 19.5 lbs altogether now.... 1.5lb to go till my 3rd silver seven, 2.5lb to go till my 10%. Aiming for both before my holidays in 3.5 weeks!

Hi there

Are there anyday time classes that you can get to. It may suit you better.

I did the monthly pass and it made me go even if I didnt have have a good week, now I help and so I feel I have to go every week and it helps. Your not on your own, we all have slip ups now and again but the secret is to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and start again.

No body is perfect. If you decide to join on line just be true to yourself and use this thread for support and I am sure you will be successful this time.
