Who is on a diet at the moment

Butter is much healthier than any of the alternatives because it is a natural product. The alternative spreads are so highly processed that they are really not very healthy, whatever the blurb on the box!

encouragement needed..i still haven't been to weight watchers..keep putting it off....i gave up smoking with very little trouble because i wanted to give up ....but i am still reluctant to give up my food..dont know why..i am not happy with being a size 20 5'4". my other half loves me to eat with him but he is 6ft and is healthy..

It's when you reach the target weight that you are set at the beginning

I lost a stone (6.5kgs) befor Xmas, Ive put maybe 3lb(1.75kgs) back on but Im getting to grips with it again, what I do is try and cut back on the choc, sugar and cakes, not eating in between meals but if I do need to eat in between I usually try and have a mug of tea and one slice of wholemeal toast with jam (only if I havent had bread at lunch) I do try and stick with not eating bread if I can.
Ive eaten lots of veg including potatoes, pasta and brown rice, breakfast I have cereal or porridge.
It does work but only if you dont get obsessed with it, if you get to obsessed I think you give in, on a saturday I have a treat or two.
Ill let you kno in a month what weight Ive lost, if any!!

my wife goes nuts at me, i could eat a banquet and never put an ounce on

i hope to get to weight watchers this week ...thursday at 10.30am...

Good luck, nan, let us know how you get on

Yep! You'll have to start your weight watching later. Thursday will call for chocolate!

Good luck, nan

wjk..thankyou...i actually got there at 10am....to begin with i have a target weight loss of 15lbs..the points system seems very easy to follow and allows for a lot of 'sins'..but today i have eaten more fruit then a bat.....no cream cakes today though, but i did eat a pound of grapes while reading the results of the court case.....2 plums for supper and 2 small low fat cheese triangle with a slice of brown bread i can do this...

You should write down your points every time you eat....it really helps.

yep..got a tracker diary from WW...

Good for you, nan. Keep it up

well this day 4 of my weight watchers plan and although it is a very good plan,,right now i am hungry and i have no points left..what to do..its been a very long time since i have actually felt this hungry.....me no like

4timesanan,im at slimming world and i have lost 6lbs in 2 weeks.You dont have to be hungry at all .You can eat loads of meat fish fruit&veg.You can have green days where you can eat as much pots &pasta as you want,on red days as much meat as you can eat.

6lbs thats brill..... to tell the truth... i ate my points today in biscuits and sausages.. really though i have kept to my points which is about 1600 cals and i have done a 1hr yoga session +30 mins walk. ...i have cut out all chocs and puds..so i guess this is why i am starving..........

rich tea biscuits.... no gravy though do bettertromorrow.

4timesanan, I think it would be a good idea if you could bear not to buy any biscuits and cakes and just bought some really nice fruit etc. Then if you are ever hungry and look at a nice banana say and can't bear to have it then you are not REALLY hungry . So says the girl who can't lose anything ! Good Luck , I have been reading a WW cookbook, looks good

Well, somebody's got to finish the things the grandchildren don't eat. I had to finish my grandson's pizza yesterday.

anna.
this is my biggest problem...i usually do finish what they leave and i keep a cupboard of goodies for them..

Me too! I keep chips in the freezer because my grandson is allowed them as a treat when he comes to my house. I always have to finish them. Waste not, want not! I do keep mostly the nice sugar-free fruit bar type treats, like Nak'd bars, which are lovely, but I also keep Mini Milk ice lolls as a very special treat. We do a lot of cooking together, making things like banana bread and scones.
