Is there anything else I can have other than beans for my jacket.... not keen on bean's. What about WW spaggetti???

How about tuna or chilli for your jacket spud?

spaggetti hoops are free.
You can also have tuna (mix with fat free yogurt or fromage frais instead of mayo)
SW recipy for coronation chicken is free and yummy, i have made that a couple of times.
You could use a healthy A and have cream cheese such as philli light.

should be fine hun, like i said depending on size of potato will vary how long it takes to cook but mine usually take around 45 minutes.
If they still feel hard in the middle then i put them back in for longer.

right. I am officially starting today. I weighed 9st 3.5lbs so even though I keep saying I am going to start, I HAVE started today :) Fingers crossed I stick to it, at least until 8 and a half stone, though really need to get back to eight. I really struggle with will power

Good luck ladies...

Im so tempted to weigh myself to see if I am actually losing! lol im trying not to lol...

I've managed to stick to my calorie goal for the last 4 days, which I'm quite proud of cause we've still got christmas chocolate and stuff that MIL2B piled us with and I've resisted even with H2B munching on it quite happily in front of me! Hopefully see some loss when I manage a weeks worth.

That's only like...650 calories suzky? To lose weight healthily you're not meant to eat less than 1200 a day.

ok actually, yes you are right as breakfast was 150, break was 150, lunch 100 so I am still under. Right what can i raid>?

my mums done both. She didnt lose on sw but did on ww and defo prefers it. Healthier too as you have to eat all the nutrients. Sw makes you limit key nutrients, cant be healthy

just had a tin of pears at 90 cals.. calorie rip off for pears but I dont like fresh pairs. I like nanas but got none in

Well I just went to my weight watchers meeting and burst into tears on the scales :( I'm the heaviest I have ever been and I get married on 16th June this year! I just can't get my head around it but I refuse to get married until I've lost the weight or it will completely ruin my day :( xxx

I think a lot of people are maybe judging sw by past stories and without really knowing the extra easy plan.
Lets see, today oi had:

Breakfast: banana and rasberries with fat free natural yogurt
Mid morning: Packet of rivita minis and an orange
Lunch: Jacket potato with baked beans, ham and salad, followed by a kiwi
Afternoon snack: Hard boiled egg and satsuma.
Dinner: Chicken tikka masala, rice, mushroom bhaji and mint raita (all home made to sw recipes)

My syn intake today was nil. With no measuring and no feelings of hunger or feeling deprived.

Good luck to all the ladies that have joined a group be it WW or SW, you're doing it your way and I have no doubt we'll all be skinny minnies in no time :)

Plan went to pot for me last night, warmed up mince pies (rolling in at 11.5 syns each!) with a bit of cream uh oh! So being extra good today, going to plan in some extra body magic this weekend by walking back from the garage which is about a mile each way as brum has its MOT. Sausage Casserole for tea using WW sausages and lots of veggies! That will be my syns for today though.

I have already bought my dress and have since put on loads of weight, tomorrow Im going to try it on and see how bad it is! I know I have to loss at least 10 kgs but probably more as I doubt Ill get it on never mind do it up! Really scared. Think Im going to need a miracle:(

I just had stir fried kale with garlic and ham strips for lunch, followed by an entire galia melon - last night we had home made beef burgers with salad and SW chips, all free/superfree - I did have fat free Activia aside ready for pudding but we couldn't face them we'd eat so much!

And Oct bride.. keep going back to them and re reading them when you get a bit confused, Ive been on plan since March and I still get dizzy moments!

OMG Roxy well done you... you look fab...

Im looking to lose 2 more stone but I am going to see how it goes. Wedding is in 9 months eeeeek so little time.

you look brill :)

Well I had a proper tea and proper lunch today. I had 40g pasta with one tin of gru tuna with beans and tomato (6 pro points) and a yog, and for tea I found sea bass in a salt and pepper coating amazingly only 6 points despite looking huge, jkt potato and steamed veggies. Just had a mini twister too as I have to have a pud. Feel a lot better for it too as defo didnt eat what I should have done yesterday. Going out for tea tomo too so will have a good meal as i think its 16 points but under 600 cals for bella prawn and chilli spagetti. I love that meal and cant wait. Just need to think of a healthy lunch tomo.

Thanks girls, I feel proud when I see that photo, as I don't know about anyone else butI feel near enough the same in myself as I did before I lost any weight, so it doesn't feel like I have :/
Everyone else comments on my weight loss but I don't see a difference, it's only when I see photos of myself I can see a difference.
Oct Bride I only have 8 months :O
Well done Nic for being good today *Woooop for Nic :)

oh well gained 1lb last night, deserved it though!

This thread is great, I keep coming back and having a read, it is great for inspiration! I'm on daiy 4 of my 'biggest loser' online diet and it is going well so far, I'm not feeling hungry or like I'm missing out but I'm feeling really motivated. Fingers crossed I can keep that up, I can keep it up, I can't wait for my first weigh in on Monday.

Good luck Lofty, the way I think is yes it's hard to lose to weight and sore to excerise and I'd love nothing more than take-away and a slice of cake but then I try to think how proud of myself I'll be when I have a body I'm proud of, and that feeling will be a million times better than the brief satisfaction of indulging in something naughty.
Saying that I wish I could remeber my own ethos more often, I'd be a size 8 in not time lol!

well I got on the scales yesterday and had a MAJOR suprise!
I LOST WEIGHT!
I thought I hadnt lost any over xmas, but since november when i went to the weight loss surgery clinic I have lost 13 and 1/2 pounds!
I am totally amazed, and cant believe how much of a booster this has given me!

I Started doing zumba on the wii, first day i did 15 minutes just dance and 10 zumba, yesterday 20 minutes zunba, today 25 minutes zumba.
I Have found doing zumba in the morning, first thing, seems to give me an energy boost and put me in a much better sprightlier mood all day.... whereas when I have done just dance on the wii before i did it in the evening, and was nearly always too tired and achey by then so hated it and skipped it etc.


I already feel so much better, i walked from the town center to the hospital thursday, a walk that in november took me 45 minutes (including numerous stops), and yesterday took me 20 minutes with no stops!


such a boost to see the weight coming off and the improvements.... off shopping with my little fella today, he was 8 on dec 23rd and wants to go spend his birthday and xmas money, and I am not even going to book a mobility scooter, i am going to try and walk it!

Janie well done, that's a massive achievement in that time, no wonder it has given you a confidence boost! I think I might invest in a zumba or just dance game too, sounds more fun than the keep fit games I've got at the moment!
