Thanks Mike, not in TiGi league but you've got to start somewhere. Don't worry about the cream scone we've all done it.

TiGi thanks for letting me pinch your idea now I have to find something small enough to put in my sig.

Hello everyone.
well done on your weight losses so far.

I am a serial yo-yo dieter.... I usually end up being bigger after a diet than when I started. But I have been doing quite well lately, I just hope I can keep it up now.

Would like to lose 3 more stone, but I try not to think of all that at once.

The reason I have been doing better lately is that someone told me about an online weight loss programme, so I thought I would call in there to tell you all about it. I joined for free.

Not sure how to put links, but if you google "Pete cohen summer challenge" you will find it. Look for the free trial bit

He is starting on Monday 15th June a 6 week summer weight loss programme, so I am going to give that a go.

Wonder how much I can lose in that 6 weeks?

Whatever your methods, good luck to you all. xx

It is a great idea to share ideas.

has anyone ever used a ticker?? i can't remember where they are put you can put them in your sig

Rexi...

I am just hoping I can stick to it for 6 weeks now.

But doesn't it cost £80 if you want to do the full 6 week thing?

If you can't, try some of Jason Vale's stuff, it's really quite good.

Welcome ...

Lori

It is hard ...I have problems with the drink too ...

Yes, many calories in most of the (good) drinks.

I have a friend who drops a few pounds when necessary simply by cutting back on her alcohol consumption. It works for her.

Lori
theres loads in a pint and I drink a bathful at a time ..lol

Well.... maybe if you stop eating...?

sorry, you are right, the free trial doesn't cover the full 6 weeks, by the look of it. I didn't realise that, because when I joined I took out a free trial.

I'll take a look at the Jason Vale one you mention too, thanks.

Pretty good at the moment. I've lost 61 lb since January. How long have you been going to WW, what's your progress so far?

It's great to have this thread for support and advice!

I'm doing point counting as well, can't go to WW none of the meetings fit round my life so I'm doing it on my own. Have you tried the cookbooks some of the recipes are really good and you get a decent amount of food on your plate?

Lori
Im not eating right anyway ... not looking after myself really ...

to much drink and just eating packets of Monster munch ....
its a type of crisps/or chips as you call them ...

Getthekettleon
You are doing amazingly well , keep it up its better to do it gradual as you are doing ,
Well Done


*Mollie*
If I could drink it from the bath I would do ..lol

Suzie

while exercising your brain releases endorphins which make you happy ...

Keep it my lil Superstar

Hi Mentalist
I have a couple of the books, my problem is that ive always been a picking, its rare that ive ever sat down to a plateful.Now im trying to eat three meals a day, i cant get out of the habit of picking,so im doing both. Ive tried picking veggies and salads, but its just not the same.
Some weeks im worse than others,but i wont give up.Thanks

Gethtekettleon...Yes it is the not giving up that is the important thing, especially if we have a bad day.

Suzi.. good luck with the rowing machine.

Mike... at you and your monster munch. Perhaps a nice jacket potato would fill you up more? I must admit I love crisps, only buy the kids flavours I don't like so they aren't in the house to tempt me. But I treat myself at weekends to a packet. Yummy..cheese and onion my faves..

Mentalist ... godo luck with the point counting.

Yay you're half way there, I should imagine this last bit will be harder though.
19 point isn't a lot, I tend to fill up on free foods, I have loads of veg and salad every day to ward off the hunger. Some weeks I'm hungrier than others.
I don't drink so I don't have to worry about the alcohol, thank gawd!

Aww thanks, I'm proper chuffed with myself

Mike - Have you tried weight watchers crisps or the low fat ones?

I bought some WW cheese nachos this week, a small bag is only one point, and they are gorgeous!

Weight Watchers' chicken noodle soup is yummy, whether you're watching your weight or not.
