i would be over the moon if i were you... if i was a 12 for the wedding i would definitely not be considering myself the fat bridesmaid.. id be well chuffed... but each to their own... we can do this !!

Im pretty short though (5ft4ish) and carry most of my weight on my lower tummy, hips, bum and tighs so Im still over weight for my height (plus a baby didnt help with all my stretch marks and flabbiness) so Im not best pleased with the way I am right now, granted its getting better but still NEED to loose two stone by Oct, if I dont well ill feel like Ive failed

jellie

my leader always says its quality not quantity that counts with exercise. you could go out walking for an hour 7 days a week and not put in the effort but then you could go out for 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a week and really go for it. so id say if your really putting in the effort in your jogs then keep doing what your doing. As long you put the effort into whatever exercise your doing it should be fine. no point being out walking for hours if the whole time your walking your chatting or strolling along. as my leader says too if your talking your not walking fast enough!!

What's the best choice I can make in a takeaway? I'm stuck for points as it is and now my friend's want a girl's night in with wine and takeaways! I won't be having wine but don't want to turn down the takeaway too as I'm always turning them down for stuff since I started WW. Any tips? I figured a small portion of chips and maybe chicken nuggets?

I'd think you should try for rice and nuggets (but take the batter off them); or else a veggie chinese with boiled rice best to steer clear of the fried stuff but seeing as it's so hard to do so if you take the batter off the nuggets then it won't be so bad! And use soy sauce and opposed to ketchup cos it has no Points!!

I'd say we'll be going to a chippers rather than a chinese but thanks for the advice!

That has chip shop points.

Lamb shish kebab with pitta and salad 6points

A small enough battered cod is 7points, why not half it.

I point chips as 7.5 for average portion or 9 for larger. (You could weigh them to be sure 175g is 7.5points)

Thanks a million for that! It's so helpful. Have decided on a small portion of chips (and I don't plan to eat all I get) and 1 (or 2) sausages. Never even thought of ordering sausages!

just realised i have been living on big als chicken and i was reading a forum saying anything that comes out of a box is bad for you, processed foods

i pointed them and there either 3 or 3.5 depends on which ones

should i avoid them from now on
i eat em with oven chips

Damn it! Doing WW and stuff 4.5 lbs down in four weeks. But just had the day of badness. There were eggs bacon sausages pudding, two bottles of bear pastry and crossant. Feel really disappointed with myself right now. Will try and fix the damage by being good until my meeting.

newtorunning

Hi Cat Rant,
feel the same as you, yesterday was not good and today was ishy, have my weigh in on Tuesday and just not sure what way it's gonna go.
Tomorrow's a new day, fresh page on the tracker!

dolliemix

II'm the same. I just had a massive two day binge on a hen weekend. I ate everything going. I didn't choose the lowfat options as I had planned to do. I picked at everything around me. I'm so bloated now. I'm definitely going to gain this week. :mad:

I'm just going to be really strict with diet till weigh in wednesday. I did a 4k jog this evening and I'm going to up the exercise to try and limit the damage done!

StandardAngel

Very proud of myself I actually managed to save points over the weekend for a change!

sam34

is anyone still doing the old core plan on ww?

i had great success with this

i never got into the points counting, as i would find teh weighing/measuring tedious and i'd eventually use it as an excuse not to continue

cat_rant

I never did the core plan Sam - i always thought it would be easier to restrict myself from boldness if I pointed stuff. Also I munch when I am bored so having to point made me more aware of what I was consuming.

But from what I can see the new plan takes whats best from both core and point and combined it to produce a better system. I like the fact that the new materials highlights your "filling foods" to keep the hunger away for longer. Helps you to eat smart.

In our meeting we discussed that egg whites are free its the yoke that is 1.5 points... It's alway reassuring to know that if I consume a lot of points during the day I can have an omlette with egg whites and lots of veggies for dinner and it's free

I was just wondering could someone answer me a quick question. I used to go to the men only meetings in Ballinteer in the community center behind BCS. This meeting seems to be gone from the men only listings and when I search for just a general meeting I'm getting that the class is in BCS itself. Can someone confirm that this is a mixed meeting on Tuesday @ 6.30 and that it has moved from the community center to the school itself?

personally if i was goin for a meal or havin a takeaway,id cut down a bit that day and for couple of days after,life is for living,we can`t be that strict all the time!

Good morning! Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather and feeling optimistic. Well I had WI yesterday having missed class last week, and I'm staggered! Managed to loose a pound, despite going way off track over easter. Obviously the few good days in the lead up, and reinging it back in the last few days have paid off.
Its motivated me now to really work at it this week, I'd hate if it caught up with me.
Best of luck to all who are weighing in:)
