Hope you don't mind me joining in, I've been doing weight watchers since October last year and had lost 6.5 lbs before Christmas. Put a bit back on in December but feel ready to get going again now. My mini goal is to lose 5 lbs by my birthday in February, then I'd like to have lost another 10 by May 25th for a friend's wedding. As an aside I'd like to get as light as is healthy for me as it will help to improve my running speed; I'm doing the loch ness marathon in October! I don't go to meetings but use a great android app, it was free on the Google store but now you can only get it on Amazon app store for 64p as WW are moaning about copyright infringement. I don't want to seem like I'm advertising so let me know if you want to know what its called! My main challenge I think will be eating WW friendly foods but sticking to quite a low food budget too.

My weight today: 156.5lbs

Very impressed by you doing the marathon - I couldn't run for a bus at the moment! I've tried downloading the official WW app before but not managed it. I'm not great with mobiles though so will get my son to have a go for me.

I didn't get a chance to discuss goals with my leader today as the class was so busy. Started at 10am and it was around 11.30 when I left. I assume they are paid on some sort of commission basis and get paid more if they have more members so she must be doing well! :eek:

Hi noelphonic
Firstly yes leaders are paid partly by how many members come through the door, they don't get all that much per person.
With regards to discussing a goal weight - most leaders will not discuss a goal weight until you are close to the top end of your healthy BMI, she/he should have given you your 1st target of either 7lb OR your 5% target.

The first target wasn't discussed but I'm not too worried about that. I've lost over a stone already doing it online anyway. I think the class is just so busy at the moment that it is hard to give anyone individual attention and I can see it must be hard work. I would be more worried if I was new to the plan.

Are you a leader?

All the classes are really busy just now, the one I am in on a Saturday is crazy busy, we had 9 new members this morning and the same last week as well.
I was a leader up until August last year - I had to give up due to my full time work commitments or I would still be doing it as I loved it! I am a member assistant still though which is good fun!

Evening all quite pleased tonight it's my first week on weight watchers and i was a bit worried because we were going for meal and i didn't want to mess up, we had a carvery and i had turkey with lots of veg and a couple of boiled potatoes, i scanned the menu full of chips cheese and fatty sauces and decided this was the best option, i also drank water rather than the usual sugary lemonade, i enjoyed it and feel happy to have had a nice meal and all within my points.

Aww thank you! I've done 2 before but want to get faster this year, and marathon training tends to make me fat... Well it's not the training but the 'rewards' for 15 mile training runs! I figured I wouldn't be able to use the official app as I'm not a member, so have gone for a cheeky copy instead, I love the convenience of it, so I'm sure the official one would have the same benefit for you!

as long as you don't eat them all at once! :eek:

I've actually had my 5 a day today. I know I can have more but I don't want to. I've got 4 points left and I'm trying to decide how to 'spend' them.

If you're within your points and you've also done a lot of walking you should be fine.
