Well done to you on that AMAZING loss.

Sam, do you know how many weeks there are where I would do anything to loose a pound! Well done you!

Hi guys. After my disastrous 3lb gain last week, loads of encouragement on here from Sam34, and being good for the week .....I lost 4.5 lbs!!!:D

Thanks Sam34 for responding to my desperate posts this day last week! Look what you achieved!

hyperbaby

i lost 2 lbs if i am to believe my scales so now i'm down to 11st3lbs
3lbs more to my second stone...
come on!!!! :D:D

bernie00

i went back to ww last night and i'm up 5 pounds after 5 weeks uhhh so mad. started counting today find it so hard but i am determined. i am 11 stone and 5 pounds i was once a gold member at 9 and a half stone. now i just want to be 10 and a half stone. been back trying ww for the last 2 years and just hasnt worked for me but i am blaming my weighing scales at home. i weigh myself every day and if i was down 2 pounds after maybe 2 or 3 days i eat and eat and then it goes on and more so i have gotten rid of the scales and am just going to get weighed at ww every week hopefully that was my problem and ww will start working now for me properly.

Wow some fantasic results this week! Big well done to Shivers! And Dollimix, Sam and everyone else, great to see it going in the right direction!
Bernie, I'm back like yerself, trying to get back to goal. Mainitaing can be so much harder than loosing. I think the thrill of being good and seeing a loss far outweighs the "blah" feeling of staying the same. Afterall, no one says, you look great, have you stayed the same weight!:pac:
I'm in a cycle of loosing, mainitaining for a while, then lashing on a good 10lbs, and starting again. But I swear this time I'm going to stay at goal. I used to go every week for the meetings and it really keps me focused on watching the weight, but every now and then, I'd get out of the habit and the bad habits crept back in and then the weight went on.
You've done it before so know it works and you can do it again! The board here is a great resource and motivation, so please use it! You'll be watching those scales go down in no time!
Best wishes

Hi everyone,

Joined weight watchers a month ago at 23 stone, ive lost 11.5 pound so far, i lost 2 pounds the first week, 4.5 pounds the second and i was up a half pound the 3rd.

I really kicked myself over it but i new that it was because i hadnt being walking much so i started doing 10 mins walk around the block at lunch time 5 days aweek, and this week i was down 5 pounds! so 2.5 more pounds and im down a stone. Plus i got engaged the weekend so now its more motivation than ever

StandardAngel

Just back from WW, lost 0.5 lbs
Was hoping for more but as long as i dont put on anything i will be happy!

ergonomics

After 6 weeks of trying to get my 3rd silver 7, I finally did it! Not only that but I lost 2.5lbs; I only needed to lose 1lb to get the silver 7. Thrilled!

bettydavis

Just back from weigh in I lost 3.5lb I'm so delighted considering I had a communion on Sunday & a leaving lunch on Monday that I didn't have very much control over what I ordered as it was a set thing.... but I did try to save points for both events and even though I over extended my points a little I just picked up and started again the next day:) I only need to lose .5lb next week to get my first sliver 7

Well done Shinners13 7.5lbs thats great especially as the week after you come back from hols can be the damage week:)

Claireycork congrats on your engagement and your 5lb loss... might give the 10 minute round the block walk ago next week on lunch as I usually end up sitting there chatting for the hour... and sure that little walk could make all the difference !!!!

Well done to everyone else on their weight loss...your all so inspiring:):)

Shinners13

Thanks everyone for the well wishes i hope i do well next wednesday too!!!
Betty Davis well done on the loss i dont think i would have that result if i had that much going on at the weekend!!!
ergonomics woohoo well done good work!!! You must be thrilled! Keep it up now!
Standard Angel a loss is still a loss and never forget it, you would be gutted if you were up! Well done!
Claireycork congratulations on getting engaged!!! Your weight loss so far has been great so keep it up and you wont know yourself in a few months!
Im like you as in i have alot to lose my starting weight was 22st 12.5lbs but i know that we can lose the weight on ww as i lost over 5 stone before in a year and put it all back on over the following 2 years as i didnt keep it up and went back to eating stupidly! So my one bit of advice for you is that no matter how bad a week you have make sure you get weighed and start again, its scarey how quickly the weeks can go by if you dont!!!
Will you be setting a date for your wedding anytime soon do you think?
Bernie you will have that gain gone in no time so dont be annoying yourself thinking about it. x
Hyperbaby and dolliemix well done on your losses fair play to you both!!!! you must be thrilled with yourselves!!! xx

claireycork

Thanks Bettydavis....! and congrats on your weightloss, you should defo try the 10 mins around the block, i was like you. loved my chat at lunch but the 10 mins a day made a big diffirence, and i used to be puffed the first week doing the walk, this week im not out of breathe at all, its mad how quickly you adapt to it

Thanks shinners for the tips, well done on all that weight loss, i really shouldnt kick myself too much after the gain fingers crossed for next week ladies.... i know we can do it

we are setting the date for march 2012 as my younger sister is getting married july next year, and she has lost 8 stone with WW!!! so she is an inspiration

Hi everyone!

Had WI earlier but I am having such a busy week tis hard to get online much!

Well, I had 3lbs off this week, bringing my total to 3 stone 13.5lbs (half a pound shy of 4 stone!) in three months.

Was out for a chinese tonight (was good, had veg chow mein, no starter or dessert), I have a wedding tomorrow AND a wedding on Saturday.... WI next week may not be great! Am hoping just to have that half pound off to bring me up to 4 stone lost. Am going to exercise as much as I possibly can between now and WI next Thursday!

Congrats on all your losses, probably won't get online now til Sunday!

Why don't you try and find a class tomorrow that you could go to, maybe the quicker you get back to a class the quicker you will get your mojo back

I hope you backed a winner at the races!

Hey all, i started back in ww 3 weeks ago i had been 2 yrs previous but didnt stick at it.... my first week i thought i had done great.. but when i went the scales said different.. i had stayed the same, but when my leader checked my tracker she said that i hadnt eating enough never taught tat was possible lol so then my second week was disaster as i had two dinner partys to arrange in my house.... and when i went to get weighted the 2nd week i was up 1 and 1/2 pounds.. i was not to disheartened as i'd expected this result and had enjoy the weekend.. an wat i told myself was that i went to the meeting and that was a big step becoz most people if they know they are going to be up they avoid the meeting all together but i faced the music and this week im determined to do it right and be down afew pounds, ive been walking alot, tracking well and making sure i eat my points and also i started a circuit training class so fingers crossed i do well on the scales on tuesday... im currently 11.5 an 1/2 and my goal weight is 10.3 so i dnt actually have to much to get down but i think it may be harder than havin a lot to loose..... x x x

Hi all,

I need help! I am back on WW for the second time in 2 years, I did well last time, then felt fine to leave it and manage on my own. All was well, then I got married christmas just gone and have got far too comfortable eating big meals with the hubby and sitting on the couch! Now im back for my first week on WW and will be on scales on thursday. I am pretty good at the portion management, tracking etc, but my HUGE problem is I am a snacking animal! And as we know, snacking adds up!! I love anythinng salty, cheesy and crsipy so crisps are my ultimate downfall, and I have such a hard time saying no! I cant convince myself that an apple or some celery sticks are the same thing, so I need a healthy, WW friendly alternative, so I dont feel like Im missing out on the satisfaction i only get from cheesy type crisps! Help!!:rolleyes:

Morning all!
Welcome to all the new posters:)
I second the Tesco cheesy curls, cheap, cheesy, and lots in a bag!
Hope everyone is having a good week?
Well my half arsed ways caught up with me, I've been cruising along with a half pound loss the last couple of weeks and this week I gained a 1lb. Not bad in the overall scheme of things, but a nice reminder that if I'm doing this then I should be doing it properly. So no more messing, the tracker is being used properly and I plan to see a good loss of 1.5-2lbs next week.
Best of luck to everyone who's WI is today!

claireycork

well done Fatwatchers!! thats great! and best of luck to the rest of you..
I was down 2.5 LBs this week, and i was good alweek bar a 5 course meal sunday night, but i opted for Melon rather that Vol au Von, and stayed clear of the soup as it contained lots of fatty cream. Asked for the sauce on the side in the main course and had icecream for dessert, i think the facted that i was half fluttered on champagne which i saved points for.. so all in all i was happy! had a nice takeaway last night to celebrate.. its my usual thing, always a takeaway after We Wa's once im down of course

hey!ive been in weight watchers for nearly 2months now and have lost 10pound, i was 10st6 to begin with and now im 9st10 which im delighted with but having less to lose than others makes it extremely hard.i want to lose another 7pounds so that shouldnt be too far off i hope!i love going to my meetings but i fear it at the same time haha. ive gone up a few weeks and ive gone down a few weeks and you really come to appreciate the weeks where u "only" lose half a pound as the week u put on is horrific.
any body have any good ideas to help shift the last silver 7?:D
