Not sure about the rejoining but is it 5 weeks?
I think you could take your 2 holiday weeks for the 2 you've missed or else pay for the 2 missed weeks.
Welcome to the thread btw, always nice to see new usernames. I haven't been posting too long here myself but I do find it great. 0 -
Thanks. I saw your frittatas recipe which was what got me thinking about my lunches I love the idea of the stuffed peppers so will definitely give that a try.
Hi Duffy89,
The stuffed pepper was really easy..
1/4cup of quinoa (boiled) 1pp
1/4 cup of cannellini(washed) 1pp
mixed with lots of veggies (carrots, cabbage, courgette and onion)0pp
and 25g of grated light cheddar cheese 2pp
Mix the quinoa, cannellini beans, veggies and half the chesse together,
Fill half a pepper with the mixture, top with remaining cheese and pop it in the oven
4pp for a yummy lunch, I had some tuna and salad with it too!
Enjoy 0 -

I had my first weigh in tonight and I was down 1lb.
The exact same thing happened to me in my first week, but I just stuck with it. Now I've lost 10lbs in 5weeks, so it's averaged out, but if you've been good and continue that way, it will show next week So don't let it discourage you. You're doing great!
I have the hen now this weekend and travelling home today. My aunt is cooking a meal for me, it's a surprise so I don't know how many points it will be, so going to save alot today so that I don't get caught out! The weeklies will be for the hen.
Hope everyone has a fab weekend 0 -

Hi All,
I've been lurking on this forum also for a while, I have to say it's great to read other peoples situations and it really spurs you on to hear how much weight you've all lost. You're all brilliant
I'm a serial weight watcher, had joined many times before and lost about a stone and then fell off the wagon. Each time I went back i'd put the stone back on plus a few more pounds.
Well I had a wake up call about 5 weeks ago, got weighed and tipped the scales at 13st 7, i'm 5ft so this was not good. I wasn't even that heavy at 9 months pregnant on my 2 kids!
So decided this was it, I was sick of being fat and I was going to shift this weight for good. Started the couch to 5k and i'm on my 4th week of it and i'm now 10 pounds lighter.
It's really made me realize that your frame of mind is so important in weight loss, if you're head's not in it odds are it won't go well and I don't think i've ever been this determined.
So keep up the good work ladies and take the bad with the good, we can't be perfect all of the time
(love all of the blogs by the way, I may be even tempted to set one up myself)0 -

I was in a friends house last night & drank a bottle of wine, ate my body weight in crisps, peanuts and dips (which let me tell you in alot!!)....feel yuk today :-(
I don't even know how to point all I ate. I wouldn't mind but I had a dinner before I went so that I wouldn't pick. Pringles are correct - once you pop you can't stop!!!
I'd a bottle of wine last night too
I'd actually saved up enough dailies to have it though, so it was 18pp. I'd a really light lunch so even after that I had a few dailies to have some dinner, but I didn't get home until 10 and then waited for my bf to come over and he wanted food so tipsily I decided it would be grand to order Indian :rolleyes: Ah well, it's not the end of the world, I will just have to be good for the weekend. But it was a bad idea saving all my points to use on alcohol Very silly! Should have eaten first! 0 -

I am the same I'm 5 foot and weighed in first at 14 12 crazy stuff!!!0 -
Welcome to the thread godders. I'm almost the same height as you and weighed in at 13st in January. I'm now 10st 12lbs. If I can do it anyone can because I generally have no willpower whatsoever.. I still have my treat or a high PP meal after my WI on an Tuesday. It's so true, if you're head isn't in the right place it won't work. Well done on the weight loss so far and best of luck for the rest of your journey. 0

Thanks a million
I love them - have made them so many times now and they are a huge hit with everyone that tastes them. My boyfriend says they remind him of crunchy nut cornflakes!!!shellybelly08 wrote: »Ooh can you share the recipe.. they sound amazing!!
Had dinner out tonight steak with vegetables and mash.. didn't have all my mash and had a daiquiri during happy hour! Was really nice and should be covered with my dailies and some weeklies! Had spin this morning and getting up for kick boxing in the morning!
Lashing rain and thunder storms out here.. Send me some Dublin sunshine please :-)
Here's the link to the recipe. http://59lbstogo.blogspot.ie/2012/04/white-chocolate-florentine-heaven.html
Was meant to do kettlebells this morning but we got locked out of our office (huge saga) and so sat around in a coffee shop this morning instead. I resisted temptation to get a delicious scone and had a fruit salad instead. Soooo good. Feel bad about not having my workout this morning as it was meant to be my last workout before the mini marathon on monday. Not sure if I should go for a jog in the morning or start the prerace rest as planned.........0 -

I'm having another good day today. Had my red berry cereal for breakfast with skimmed milk which came to 5PP. Then for lunch I had a yummy omelette with some salad and grilled mushrooms which came to 7PP. And just now I had the nicest green apple ever. I'm doing well with my water too, I've had 500ml plus a pint glass full with my lunch. I've been out for a walk and I have a swimming lesson at 8, happy days. 0

Nawwwwh guys, thanks for all the cute messages!
I'd love to join the WW facebook group but i'll give it a miss because none of my friends know that I'm on WW and I'm normally signed in with them sitting beside me! It's more of a personal thing for me- personally, I don't like telling people I'm on a diet because I feel like they're more 'aware' of it or something, and would be constantly looking out for weight loss/ asking me how weight loss is going, which never boded well in the past because of my binging tendancies! Someone asking me how the diet is going after secretly stuffing my face with a packet of biscuits- NOT GOOD!
WW has changed me- I really 'value' what I eat nowadays. Don't get me wrong, I'm still eating chocolate etc, but I'm more aware of the fact that I'll probably have to sacrifice rice with my dinner if I want that bar. For once in my life,I'm not dreading going shopping or social events!
As I said above about learning to 'value' what you eat and having to sacrifice stuff- I've had some sober nights. I used to drink a lot, but I'm taking this more seriously this time and would much prefer to go sober instead of having to miss out on a bit of food! I'd never admit this to anyone, but I'd rather stay at home and watch TV with a chocolate bar instead of a few vodkas. I wish I wasn't like that but it's true.
Hope you're all getting on great

Bonnie... i couldn't agree more iv told people in the past that i was dieting and i think they can have a massive effect on it.. leading you astray and not being supportive because they don't like the idea of a fitter you! and also some can have high expectations of a thin you and maybe you aren't quite there yet! its not easy or helpful either way.. there's a few close people that know im doing ww and i find it easier that way!
On a different note... i made the Florentines, i used dried blueberries and chopped walnuts, instead of the nuts on the recipe, it made 10 biscuits working out at 3pp each!
Also for anyone who likes pizza, i made a pizza tonight for dinner.. with a chicken base, sounds strange i know but it was yummy, If anyone would like the recipe ill post it was 16pp for whole lot not huge but just nice!
Hope everyones Saturday is going well x0 -
Shelly will you post the chicken pizza recipe? Sounds good!
I agree re not telling many people that I'm doing WW. My bf know obviously, as well as my housemate and my mam. I told my sister last week. My sister and I are very close but I know she just thinks I'll fail as I have done so many times before. She did WW years ago and went from a size 16 to a size 10 and has kept it off ever since, even having a baby and fitting back into her size 10s within weeks (bitch!) When I said to her last week that I rejoined WW she goes "Oh, would you try Slimming World?" I was like...no, I just said I'm doing WW. She didn't really offer much support or encouragement but tbh I don't blame her. In the past 10 years she's seen me try ww countless times, as well as various other diets, and I've always failed. I had a year's notice that I would be bridesmaid for her wedding and I didn't lose weight. 2 months before her wedding my bridesmaid dress was a little tight and I lost 6lbs and it fit fine but she was annoyed that I didn't lose more. I completely understand how annoying and frustrating it is for my loved ones to see me attempt weight loss so often, and then give up after a certain amount of time, so I understand her not holding out much hope for me this time. 0 -
I told my husband when I went back to weight watchers last November but I only told my mam in the last few weeks. But since my mam found out she keeps trying to feed me. Every time I go to visit she puts on a fry and then gets annoyed when I don't take everything. When I try to leave mams house I go loaded with cakes and I have tried to leave them behind but she comes after me with them. I am such a food addict I find it so hard! 0

Uh oh my weekend has been terrible so far. I ended up going out last night and drank all around me. Today I was suffering from an almighty hangover which of course lead to eating crap. How do people deal with hangovers? I am heading to a 21st party later and I am dreading it as it'll have the usual finger food. I will have to try and reign it in tomorrow so I can focus on my weigh in on Thursday. I really want a good loss. Hope everyone has a great weekend 0

I find hangovers difficult, it's always when I'm at my worst. The best thing to do is eat loads of fruit because that's what your body is actually craving. I usually get a fruit salad from my local Centra. A bit pricey but all the work done for you and a lovely mix of fruits. I eat that throughout the day, and drink lots of Coke Zero. I always want a takeaway too but since I started back WW I've made a lovely curry every Sunday night. Nice and spicy to sweat the hangover out of me 0 -

Ok so here goes-
300g chicken fillets

Mix chicken breast in a food processor until its smooth and thick, mix in the egg and egg whites, add salt and pepper and seasoning to taste
Put mixture in baking tray and place in oven 160degrees for 20-30mins, or until the base has turned brown in colour.
For the topping i used,
3/4cup tomato passata
1 tbs of tomato paste
60g tasty lights cheddar cheese grated
2 medallions of bacon
lots vegetables cut finely-pepper,onion,mushrooms and chilli
When the base is done leave to cool for about 10mins, Pour the tomato sauce mixture, cheese and topping of choice on top of the base, place back in the oven for 15-20mins. and Enjoy :-)
