I know what you mean, when you read a magazine and the celebrity drops a dress size by losing half a stone it definitely doesn't work that way! I've lost 10lbs now but there's not a hope in hell I can go buy the next size down. Well except a bra size I reckon - my boobs are shrinking!! (and they wasn't much there to start with :eek:)

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to choose where the weight went from :rolleyes:

I agree, I've lost over a stone and am noway fitting into the next dress size down. I got another 3 stone or so to loose before I reach the maximum of what is considered my ideal weight. Long way to go still before I buy new clothes.

Karen23 - Well done. It is also a boost to know you are in the next weight bracket down, keep up the good work.

Had some of the Sainsbury sugar free marshmallows this afternoon, and I am suffering with stomach cramps and running to the loo a lot. Just a warning, have these in moderation as else.......

Hi All,
I am Shazzle and pleased to meet you. I was given loads of WW stuff from a pal at work and have been following the points plan for 8 days now..I lost 2 pounds on Monday and hope to keep ANY loss up as its very difficult for me !!
About me, I exercise hard but also eat and drink hard which is the problem as at 11.5 stone and 5ft4 AND with ropey knees I am not doing myself any favours and at nearly 40 its now or never...
So enough about me what am I doing.
Well a colleague and I "food share" during the week so one day I cook breakfast and K does lunch then vice versa all week. This not only removes one thought process it also keep us highly motivated and on the straight and hopefully narrow.....lol x
I love to read your posts as I find this almost a cyber meeting and so inspiring.
I hope to post regularly and keep up the good work everyone x x

Welcome Shazzle.
I like the idea of food sharing, that would encourage me to try more new recipes and vary the lunches that we seem to stick with.

Hi everyone, I have just joined a WW group today and have a few questions if that's ok as I have never done it before

Firstly, I have signed and paid for a monthly pass, they have given me a starter voucher I have to complete online, but it is asking for my debit card details, it doesn't say when it will take the money but I am concerned as I have already paid for the forthcoming month???

Also, how many points extra do you get for exercise? I run 40 miles a week!!!

Can you carry points over to the next day if you don't use them or do you have to have them all every day? what happens if you have a few less than you should?

Finally, can anyone give me a list of zero points food to help me along? I am currently struggling not knowing what to eat, what is classed as 'low points' etc, I am used to doing Slimming World and wanted a change (as I got sick of mullerlights!!) so any advice would help

thanks
