Weight Watchers support thread

jockettuk

hi.. i think the best way to join is to go to a class as you get all the support and advice from other members.. i do the monthly pass which works out at just under £18 a month and you get access to all the website. you also get some freebies when you do monthly pass at class..

the offer for the online is great but i know i wouldnt stick to it properly as i feel i NEED to go to class and be weighed weekly by someone else.. that way i know i cant cheat.

also with the montly pass if you cant make your own class you can go to any other class you want even when you on hols..

Flippin 'eck peeps, you've done something like 4 pages since I was last here!

Have caught up but can't remember it all so well done to for all the fantastic losses and welcome to newbies - we're a great bunch here!

I missed WI on Saturday as I slept right through! So hoping for double this weekend :eek:

I made chilli yesterday using quorn mince, baked beans, mushrooms and peppers and one of those packet mixes - works out at 3 points a portion! Am so excited by this! Have had it with a spud at the moment. Have frozen 2 portions and will have them with rice at some point or with a bag of WW tortilla crisp things. Am very pleased with quorn - never tried it before and thought it would taste wierd but you can't tell the difference. Normal mince is something like 4.5 points a portion and quorn is only about 1.5.

Bootcamp is going well, only 4 sessions left and I'm done! Will let you know my measurements after (they take them at the start and end)

Oh and this morning I had an english muffin toasted with 2 bacon medallions, tomatoes and mushrooms and wow it was delish and filled me up till lunch! well with an options hot choc in the middle - I put 2 sachets in a cup for an extra creamy chocolate fix and the coconut one is amazing!

Right enough about food..

Ok, so I will go back over the last few pages and catch up on all the WI's for santa slim - if I miss anyone please shout and let me know.

I think I got everyone who has posted their losses for last week. I'll try and be more prompt with this weeks and will post by Monday.

On the subject of takeaways - I like chicken and mushroom from the chinese, it's only 3 points for the whole tray according to ladyluck, hurrah! I'm going to Pizza Express AGAIN next week to indulge in more of the leggera range - just trying to find a voucher thats still in date to save on lbs and ££s.

I'm going to have jelly and LF ice cream with a squirt of sauce in a minute (2) and lunch is all ready for tomorrow. I wasn't so good last week so quite glad I slept through WI - I had this constant nauseous (sp?) feeling and the only thing that seemed to stop it was food any excuse eh?

Well I've waffled on for ages now so I'll shut up :rotfl:

Apologies if I've missed anyone...

Oh I go to meetings with monthly pass and have just received a postcard off my leader with a tracker to say she's sorry she missed me - so nice!

How about asking on the message boards on the WW site? I'm sure someone was asking about this on there not too long ago so maybe do a search? Sorry, I can't remember what the replies were..

Puddings

Hmm, I've just done a bit of searching and there seems to be an esource option or an online option but I can't seem to find what the difference is except for the price...

wigwam

Wow - Im finding it difficult to keep up with the thread! Well done all on your losses and just keeping to the plan.

Karenx I just do the online version, however I lost the bulk of my weight with SW classes. Not sure if I'd have been successful from the beginning doing it alone - the meetings kept me on track. Threads like this give me great motivation though.

Puddings thanks for adding me. Can I add a weight loss of 3lbs this week. Really hope to be in the 9's ( and size 10 - 12 jeans!) for christmas!!

Hi everyone

Sorry that I was not on last week to give my wi details but I lost 1.5lbs
,went to meeting this morning but I had put 1lb on.I think my 3 nights in Blackpool might have had something to do with it !! I did have a fish supper and a whippy cone but these were my only treats,but as we were staying in a travelodge we did have to go out for breakfast and lunches.Still I enjoyed myself and am now on the straight and narrow again.Thanks again to Puddings for the santa slim

bulchy

Hi everyone, glad to see everyones doing well. This santa slim seems to be spurring everyone on.
Puddings, thanks for the update on how everyones doing, its really good of you to keep track on all of us :A Also, thanks for the info on quorn, will put this on my next shopping list and try making a bolognese with it for next week, just hope ds doesnt realise its not proper meat as he might decide before he tries it that he doesnt like it, which he has a habit of doing :rolleyes: me and dd and oh will eat quorn but hes just so awkward.
Got wi tomorrow, but not hopeful of a good week for myself, work had a buffet on last night, I had a half a sausage roll and a cheese and potato one amongst other things and felt ill when I got home, very tired and sluggish, cant remember the last time I felt like that, just hope the buffet hasnt caused too much damage when I get on the scales tomorrow. Having a jacket spud with beans for tea tonight, and got a pan of Italian soup for supper, so hopefully I can make up for last night.
Good luck to everyone for the next weigh-in
