Well done Layla, that's fantastic. Go u!

@lainy...if it was me, I'd be going fir something much warmer than maxi dress or linen trousers. I only have the window open a crack but every so often the curtain blows like mad and I can hear some metal thing banging against the flag pole outside the house which in my mind tells me it's cold outside. But I'm always cold!!!

hehehe thats mad......I have yet to upgrade my phone to something that allows apps, do you have the WW app??? I have heard mixed reviews about it
no rain here thankfully but the wind is mental and I somehow don't think flying will earn me any extra points :rolleyes:

I have the ww android app....freaking amazing...you can point food, point exact portions, track your weight, and have a full database of foods to work from...so handy! cost like 2 euro! Really hand when be im trying to be discreet...just looks like i'm texting

like i'm going to a communion, casual event so wont be shot for texting or using phone, but means i can track as I'm eating/drinking without drawing attention to my self. I'm the worst for losing things...fecking lost my calculator few weeks ago...well didnt one of the gals here send me one in the post :O blew my mind away! I keep the calculator in the kitchen press now anf keep that just for kitchen pointing! and the phone for out and about pointing.

Yeah thats all the booklets you get. When you reach 5% and 10% (if you have not done already) you get a booklet for each of them and also another when you reach goal.

Thank you Monife, didn't get the 5% booklet!

My boots zipped up the whole way this morn...first time in a couple of years and they're comfy not pinching or anything done a little jig of happiness on the spot. haven't been exercising so think it must be just down to my reebok tone runners.
Off to get my hair done now, my sis has her own salon so I'm hoping with the weather she will be quiet and I can get my colour done

Hey Lainy good luck on your walk tomorrow. I'm sure all those hours on the treadmill has you well prepared!

Ouch I am hurting head to toe from the weights yesterday, clearly not been using any of those muscles ever! Tried to walk and stretch it out this morning but think i need to just go back and do it over and over again til it doesn't hurt anymore.

Have a BBQ today but have saved a good 35 of my weeklies for it so along with the 15 I would usually have for dinner I should be ok. Lots of communions today, hope the weather stays dry for all the lil ones.

a few days you'll get used to it. just make sure to take today OFF from the weights...muscles need to recover. at the very most just do some walking to kinda loosen things up. Hot steaming shower will help muscles relax too
I was in AGONY Tuesday...cos only started back at the weights on monday...but by wednesday was grand again

I think I'll be having a bad hair day today with this wind....

Did you lose your 5% before the Pro Points plan came here? I lost my 5% on the old plan so didn't get the new book but I got the 10% book

Yeah is bit of a sh**ty day but at least it aint raining, yet. Going to have a smoothie and banana and then head out and attempt my pre-mapped 7k walk. Wish me luck, it looks LOOOOONG!!!!

I got the 5% book but never got a 10% one:rolleyes:

So I have been completely AWOL the last week, went away and have been sick since, well for bout 3 weeks now but was real bad this week. Unfortunately it didn't affect my appetite but did stop me exercising. So had a week of feeling sorry for myself and eating everything under the sun but I have finally caught up with this thread (so much going ons!) and I am now ready to get my WW hat back on! I got blood tests done in the doc this week, still waiting on the results but she said one of the causes of my dizzyness etc could be that I'm actually drinking too much fluids?! Something to do with sodium levels? (I think!) Anyone ever heard of that??! I don't think I'm drinking any more than what were supposed to on WW!
Anyway, sorry GT for not pming my weight, I didn't go to WI, definitely have to get back into it now!! Actually looking forward to eating healthy now!

Nah, just got the 5% loss last week, I'll ask the leader next week for it anyway.

I was at the dentist this morning for a filling, can't eat so I'm having an Options outrageous orange chocolate drink now, it's fab! Never had one of these before but I'm converted!

Hey guys, i see the points for chinese are quite low, but i just realised that they are probably for a portion. Can anyone tell me how many points wouldbe in a half a carton yoy know the plastic tubs, of maybe a chicken satay? Or in a full foil tray of a prawn chow mein or singapore noodle?

Hold that thought and let that motivate you, it's great :P. Lashing rain here since early, but a little warmer than last few days. Heading out for some nice pub grub later and a big glass of red. Everyone have a great Saturday.

oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh a nice new thread, can't believe how quickly this thread moves.

Good to read of all the losses, well done to all keep it up.

FINALLY due to get my gold card this week , i know I got to goal over 2 months ago but have only been able to go to meetings every 2nd week due to working hours, so for members maintaining to get their gold card it takes 4 weeks but for me it has taken 8 weeks :mad:

Continuing with maintenance so my weight hasn't moved from 10st, I must be doing something right Have had a hectic few weeks and due to have more over the next few weeks so hoping to maintain and then working on my own goal from then on but really happy with how I feel & even look at the moment which I can't believe I'm saying.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Shoe Lover

I've been on a complete energy buzz so far this weekend Have earned 18 activity pp between today and yesterday between a Double Step Class and a 50min run this morning (in the rain ).
Have been good foodwise too, made a lovely big chicken stirfry for dinner last night, then I made passata sauce to have with my homemade pizza tonight! I have the dough in the hotpress now proving and I have Lainy's muffins in the oven
Happy Weekend Everyone! :D:D:D

Which app is that one Lainy? Is it the iWatchr? I have that one but I'm not mad on it, it follows the US plan of eating activity pp before weeklies.

fofany

Its an awful day here. I am sitting in the front room in front of the fire to keep myself out of the kitchen, which is full of food. OH was in a cooking mood & made wheaten bread, scones, loads of shortbread. Kids are eating homemade burgers & chips in there & I am staying away so I can't pick. We are going to a confirmation tomorrow & party afterwards so will bring all the homemade goodies with us for everyone to eat - have to get them out of the house!

Kay_80

Out of interest what is in the 5% and 10% books?

As most of ye know I'm doing the @ home plan and they send you everything together at the beginning supposedly all the books, the eating out guide, the shopping guide, 12 trackers and the electronic calculator.

But I never got a 5 or 10% book and didn't get anything re maintanance either am i missing anything important maybe if i'd bothered sending my WI's to Kay every week they'd have eventually sent them on??

Great losses Lainy and Layla well done.

Hope to see ye all over in 'our other place'?

The one I have is WWPoints Diary. Its really good cos it has the US Points Plus UK Pro Points and the UK old points. I find it really handy..

Back from communion...i had slivers of everything....just so it looked like I was eating something, it was a very small gathering...they'd tried to put on the best spread they could...times are big tough for them,

had a BBQ burger, Chicken Brest and sliver of Home made cheese cake. Not the healthiest of foods...but I kept the portions small...I had breakfast at 8, we didnt have lunch till about 2...I'll have my dinner later on and hopefully sort me out, prob still over my dailies but feck it...sometimes you just have to go on common sense and make the best choice you can food wise and not think about about the "points". I didnt drink, i had two glasses of diet coke....and you know what...cos i havent drank any water today yet....i feel like CRAP! life sucked out of me....that and the cat waking me at 6am didnt help...

Right....off to portion out puppy food for next week! Puppy food is fecking expensive! So going to make sure I make the bag last! Get him eating the correct amount from day one...then he wont always be looking for food....I portion my own food...so might as well portion his food. Plus i dont want double feedings!

This pup is like my baby! haha! Nothing but the best!

No secret Lainy I'm convinced it was just bloatedness and water retention from all the travelling (don't think with all the walkin in Vegas I put weight on was only really having 2 meals a day breakie & dinner with a few snacks on the go) but since I got home ;Tuesday morning) I've just eaten 3 meals a day stuck to my pp and drank water

I am in love with my hair the girl did a fantastic job it feels so healthy now and shiny which is what I missed most about my brunette locks I've a hint of red thrown in to liven it up a lil but I'm delighted hubby even said it looks fantastic much nicer than the blonde so I'm on cloud 9 6lbs down and having a good hair day

Lost 3st 5 pounds on ww, but packed it in as i couldnt get the hang of new pp system(was too lazy and stubborn to change!!) Am about 5 pounds away from my goal weight, and stuck here, so ive decided to give it another go! heading back to meeting on tues

so tired i'm seeing double at the moment...i'll have a look thru my lists of places to see if i have exact TGI listings later on....got feck all sleep last night...fecking cat woke me at 6am then....i dont do "lack of sleep" gracefully...i'm sure they thought i was drunk at the communion...didnt even hav a drink...literly so tired struggled to stay awake!

Monife

Absolutely knackered, but so worth it.

Went for my walk which actually turned out to be 7.3k!!! Delighted I was able to do it but I do admit I stopped about half way through and sat on a bench for 5 minutes for a cigarette. There was a few hills and with the galeforce winds, it took a lot out of me before I had even got half way.

Also, did a good chunk of packing today so delighted with that too.

Having a lowfat version of a staple meal I used to ALWAYS have in college. Wholewheat pasta, lowfat grated cheese, tuna and a piece of low fat garlic bread nom nom nom Can't wait!! Used to eat LOADS of white pasta in college, loads of cheese, tuna (which isn't bad) but then a good chunk of normal garlic bread. Good to know we can still have the things we like

Well done on the losses girls.

You have done really well so far. Hopefully the break will have helped you forget about points & be ready to embrace the propoints. Good luck. You're nearly there.

Kay_80 like you I am doing it from home and have been sending my WI's in every week and havn't gotter the book so don't think it makes much difference.

I have 8 points left and just had my dinner and wondering what can I ahve later as a snack?

flamelily

evening all,

finally dusted my treadmill off and actually went for a 30 min walk (yay me) so was well chuffed......then undid all my hard work by having a dessert with my dinner.....I have NO WILLPOWER!!!! so pretty much used a heap of my extra points and its like day 3:eek:

Monife

Programme on LivingTV called "Morbidly Obese" - Might be interesting, those kinda shows certainly scare me into copping on and being healthy. That's why I love that I made the choice to really get into exercise aswell as healthy eating. I thought it was going to be such a pain (I was extremely lazy) but now I enjoy my walks and any other exercise I do and love that I will be able to keep it up when I get to goal.

Just can't wait to be totally fit and healthy

IrregularGirl

Hi everybody,

I am on my second week of the Weightwatchers programme and have lose three and a half pounds so far. I have been reading this thread and the previous one for a while and i have to say all of you have become an inspiration for me in this long battle to lose weight:)
