Weight Watchers support thread

Totally agree with what the others have said Melissa, you will need to eat to lose the weight (trust me, I've been here before :rolleyes:! lol) I'm very similar to cheeky (lost 4 1/2 stone and put it back on plus more) and I'm changing the way I do it this time. I'm going to have parties to attend and some events where I can't control the food so I'm just having to incorporate that into the scheme of things (e.g. eating the food but not pigging out on it because I shouldn't have it). Unlike last time where I denied myself everything and then wanted it because I couldn't have it. I did have good willpower but then when I moved house and stopped going to the gym and started eating big portions all the weight went back on.

It's got to be a way of life and not just a diet to get you down to target and then start eating normally again. I'm going to make sure I enjoy myself a little bit along the way and if it takes me longer to lose the weight because I've had a few glasses of wine one weekend, then so be it !

I think it's a great idea to post what we've been eating for everyone to see so this is what I had yesterday:

B = 30g porridge made with milk and a tsp honey
S = Pink n White (thanks for the tip with these Sian !)
L = Pumpkin soup, slice brown bread toast and low fat spread and a satsuma
S = WW Peanut Bar
D = Lemongrass and chilli prawn skewers x 2 (starter). Fillet steak 110g, sweet potato wedges 150g, salad and 0 point dressing.
S = WW popcorn and 2 lemon puff biscuits

Now I ate all that and still had 4 points left (I'm allowed 25 points a day atm). (Don't usually have fillet steak btw but DH was at a bon jovi recording session so I thought I deserved a treat ! hahaha)

I lost 1lb last week but I wasn't eating enough so I'll post what I eat this week and then see what the result is on Monday (I think it will be more than 1lb as I tend to lose more when I eat all my points).

Right off to get kiddies up for school. Have a 'good' day everyone and eat well !

Sorry for the long post (bit lecturish too ).

Wow, some amazing posts especially from Cheeky, Sian and jtb :T I may even say inspirational!

Goodidea to put our menu's on - also keeps us lot on the straight and narrow!

Not such a good food day for me today - have a raging sore throat and bit of a headache so having a bit of a comfort food day...

B = 2 x toast (2) and LF pate (1.5)
S = Options coconut hot choc (0.5)
L = 2 x toast (2) and spaghetti hoops (1.5) - and apparantly hoops is 1 of my 5 a day!
S = either a pink and white/caramel snack a jack/apple (0.5)
D = 3 x fishfingers (3), carrots (0) and BNS chips (0) and then SF jelly (0) and LF ice cream (2) - obviously the ice cream is for medicinal purposes...

Currently totals 13, hmm thats not a lot, will add baked beans (2) to my fish fingers and have a hot choc before bed (I worked out that my luxury white hot choc from Whittards with semi skimmed is 4 points :j)

So thats my 19 points spent.

Oh my Innocent veg pot yesterday was delicious! I had the Moroccan Giant Couscous one and seriously filled me up..lovely and warm and pretty good for 5.5 points although not good for the ££'s I don't think.

Hey everyone! I lost one pound this week which is ok considering how awful I was on Saturday night plus my meal out! Hoping for more next week though...anyway today isn't a great day as I didn't eat much till I got weighed

breakfast - ww bar on way to gym
snack - cream cracker they had run out of fat free ones
lunch - two slices of Ham plus crackers
snack - options hot choc
dinner - a huge prtion of cottage pie and two flumps

total points today 20 I think

jtb2412

Yay cheeky :j ! A lb is a lb ! I sometimes wonder whether the subconscious kicks in, even though we're being 'naughty' we probably don't eat as much as we would have done previously . Anyway, well done :T.

Today's food for me:

B = 1 boiled egg and 1 slice bread and spread
S = Pink n white (got 16 to get through lol :rotfl:)
L = WW online recipe, Spicy chicken breast and rice, funsize pack maltesers
S = WW potato bakes
D = Turkey, pepper and pasta bake and traditional rice pud (both online recipes)

Again 21 points used and still have 4 left.

Will probably end up having more points tomorrow as it's DS birthday and we're having a lovely home cooked roast dinner and birthday cake for dessert .

How's it gone today Melissa? What have you had ? (I'm being nosy now lol)

A pound most certainly is a pound! And better off than on...especially when you look at what a pound looks like! See link below

oh cheeky that photo is gross don't feel too disappointed about losing a pound now,i think people just think I've been good all week and that's it :rolleyes: but as people have said the aim is 1 or 2 Pound's a week, i have lost half a stone so far and i feel so much better for it, i like the feeling that i am doing something positive, rather than just going for another Gregg's pastie:D
