Im thrilled but im gona have to be xtra carful i dont put it bac on this week!!! I did drink feck loadsa water this week,realy made the effort and it looks like it paid off!!!
Got home and realised i forgot to pick up a tracker, hate when i do that cuase ther so handy!!

Up 1.5 this week. Pleasantly surprised it wasn't worse to be honest. There was far too much drink had last week and then the hangover eating the next day did me in. Tomorrow is the start of a new week and the way I look at it, I still have half a stone gone for the last 3 weeks. Not too shabby really

Used to go to his meetings! Really liked him!
No it's Trevor. He does classes in Dunshaughlin and (AFAIK) Ashbourne and Swords. He lost 27.5 stone in less than 3 years. Highest ever recorded weight loss in Ireland and I'm sure I read he's Weight Watchers' highest weight loss worldwide, or maybe was at the time. He's only young too, in his early 30s I'd say. I love him 0 -

He was my leader's leader. I think he does classes in balbriggan too. A girl I know lost 12 stone with him. She said he was amazingly supportive.
On the issue of leaders, I firmly believe that the best leaders are. those who have lost a substantial amount of weight. They seem to have a far better understanding ofv how difficult the process can be for someone with a couple of stone+ to lose. Someone who lost a stone or less in order to become a gold member is not someone I'd like for a leader.0 -
I tried and failed with the quorn mince. He thought it was disgusting. Asked me what had happened because normally my shephards pie is fantastic!! I nearly wet myself with laughter, and had to tell him. I didn't like it either, it is the texture or something. Not for me.
Glad someone else doesnt like quorn - thought it was just me. Would love to like it as its so low in pp but it tastes kinda powdery to me must try chicken mince.0 -

Feeling totally disheartened. Not food wise, exercise wise (which is actually turning me to food). The last few days, my legs (shins and calves) and feet were in excrutiating pain when jogging and even when walking. I don't know what to do any more. I am hating exercise now and feel like giving up! The pain stays even after I have stopped walking, it might be that the runners are wrong for me, but I only bought them about a month ago and can't afford another pair.

Just back from doctor, he's put me off excercise for few weeks :P
i thought i had trapped nerve...cos my arm kinda went dead and had pins & needles.
but he said its inflammed nerve in my shoulder, really sore, its been keeping me awake last few nights, on anti inflammatories for two weeks...so now i dont feel guilty about not exercising....typing with numb fingers is a WEIRD!
Just means now i KNOW i have to be good with food 0 -

I have this too. Sometimes its ok and other times it's a killer. I feel like the side of my legs near the angle are twisting or something. Its really painful and the walk is so hard to complete. I find if I push through it it loosens up but it can be hugely off-putting. I'm hoping the more weight I lose the easier exercise will become.Lady Lainy wrote: »Just back from doctor, he's put me off excercise for few weeks :P

Did he put you on Difene by any chance? If so it's a killer on your stomach. I hurt my back last month and must have gained about a stone just eating stuff to make the pills bearable. The constipation afterwards didn't help! Just something to be aware of if you are on Difene, so if you do go up it might not be down to you being bold
Hopefully you're on something else though! 0 -

I think out leader was telling us about him recently, it was sone male member who is now a leader but he used to say his week ended when he stood up on the scales and a new one began when he stepped down. That's an amazing loss.
Hope your feeling better soon Lainy, make sure you take the anti inflammatories with food tho. You don't want to end up with your tummy in shreds. I find heat packs great too.0 -

First WI and was down 2.5lbs. I'm really thrilled but I nearly feel guilty because I felt like I had such a bad week
Is that weird??! But when I think about it, I was only bad with alcohol and was really good with food (except for a chicken fried rice from the Chinese). Anyway it's encouraged me to do better this week. When I went back last week I was up 5.5lbs since I last weighed in last November and I was determined to lose that in 3 weeks. So I have another 2 weeks to lose 3lbs to hit my mini-target, hopefully I'll do more than that though
Had a couple of glasses of wine and some chocolate after my meeting as a treat but back to it tomorrow. Forgot my tracker though, gah!0 -

Has anyone used the WW pedometer? It looks really good - keeps track of the activity points you're earning too...It's €21.95 I think, very tempted to buy it but I'd like to know if it's worth it
I had it the ww pedometre on the old system.....it was crap to be honest....it didnt detect half the steps i was doing...i was so annoyed! in theory its good...cos it makes you do a minimum amount of steps before it lets you start earning points....maybe i had a faulty one 0 -
