Weight Watchers support thread

I also joined the monthly pass as it does save money...my only hesitation was that actually handing cash over at the meeting seems more like spending money to me than a direct debit which I tend to forget about. But so far so good, 12lbs in 6 weeks.

I do think going to the meetings is a big help - somehow getting on the scale with someone else making a note of my weight is more of an incentive for me than weighing myself...plus I hate having scales at home as I'll get on them 13 times a day.

I have let myself down this morning. As off work sick pottered about and then ate:
2 bags iced gems = 3 points
1 WW rice pudding = 1.5 points
1 Cadbury's cream egg = 3.5 points
1 WW toffee bar = 1.5 points

But the Irish stew for tea is in the sow cooker and smells great = 6.5 points

oooh, that sounds lovely...if you'd be willing to PM me the recipe I would be grateful - LOVE the slow cooker to death and always looking for new recipes.

My Irish Stew recipe:

500g lean leg of lamb diced
1 tbs cornflour
1 tbs mixed herbs
900g pototoes
4 medium carrots diced
1 onion diced
4 tbs dried pearl barley
Stock to cover

I point it at 6.5 if serving 4, but could easily serve 6 at 4.5 points.

Right, Ive been away from this post for a while. And to be honest I havent been trying as hard as I could

BUT! Ive still been jumping on the scales each week and this week Im down to 11stone! Which means Ive lost 10lbs so far So Im happy, and this has spurred me on to try and lose some more weight

Hi All,

I've been a lurker on MSE for months but this is my first post!

I have just bought the monthly pass online and going to go to a meeting tomorrow morning which I'm dead nervous about as I dont really know what to expect and I'm really shy.

I have about 3 stone to lose I think and had a fairly tough last 12 months and pretty much been comfort eating my way through it. I left my OH about 2 months ago (although we are trying to make it work and 'dating' again now but thats a whole other issue I have to deal with!) but have decided to take control I'm so miserable. I need more confidence and I thought losing some weight might be a start? I figure I'm 28 and should be out having fun; its a mates birthday tomorrow and I dont want to go out cos I dont have any clothes that fit anymore, went to some clothes shops yesterday and it just upset me so here I am! Sorry for wibbling on and sounding sorry for myself.

So please may I join you guys?

Thanks for listening x

Hi pudding
Im new to this ww thing too!
Ijoined today, I have done sw before and hated the quorn! Nasty stuff. WW appeals to me because I can eat any food, crumpets for tea..yum!
I am going to be following this thread so any advice will be welcome.
I have just been food shopping and bought plenty of veg, fruit and some ww frozen puds!!! will look forward to them tonight!

Welome Puddings (great name).
I have now lost 2 stone with WW meetings, and love the group I attend as they are so friendly and helpful.

Today I have sorted out my now too big clothes and shall be giving them to my sister and / or charity shop this weekend. I dont want to be tempted to slide back into them.

Partner has agreed that we shall be getting married next year (we have been engaged 2 years now and living together 8 years). I think my recent health scare (heart) as given us both a wake up call. So that should help me with the motivation to lose a couple more stones.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Josey thats great motivation for you, congrats on the wedding and the weightloss.

I have, unfortunately, spent the day eating EVERYTHING in the house whilst i've been studying but now its all gone ready for tomorrows first meeting and shopping trip.

There's been a million days where I've started a diet and lasted a couple of days but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is it!

Weigh in this morning and put on 1/2 pound, which is not as bad as was expecting, since I am off work still, and not allowed to do any exercise at all.
