Parentise Weight Watchers Club....

Wow, that's fantastic, Lou Lou. 1 pound during your first week - YAY!!

Okay, let us have Monday as weigh-in day!!! And youtube for exercise videos sounds like a fantastic idea. I will check it out...

I'm in too! I really want to lose weight before getting preggers again. I want to look pregnant next time, not like a whale.

Emma, that's great that you'll join in!!!

yay on the new members

Well done on the weight loss Lou Lou! I hope to lose a pound soon, I was doing well all day. Then had a pizza lol. I know, I know....

I'm doing well today, I had a healthy lunch, but the trouble is, it wasn't that filling. That's the problem with salads! So I'e had to eat a yoghurt, fruit and a cereal bar to control it. All low calories of course, but grr!

Any ideas of snacks that are healthy, and I can take into work to stop me eating the cookies?

Toffee, I usually bring healthy snacks to work that contain fiber and lean protein, both will keep you full longer. I might have dried fruit (or fresh if you prefer, but dried is really easy to bring along and store and have on hand) and almonds; or might have raw veggies (carrot sticks, celery, peppers, cucumber etc.) and a low fat string cheese or another type of low fat cheese; I might have low fat yogurt and stir high fiber granola into it (like grape nuts, etc.), or I might have apple slices dipped in/ or spread with peanut butter.

I hope that helps - If I can come up with other ones I will let you know.

Welcome Ginny! It's great to see so many join.
Great work with everybody's progress. I will start tomorrow morning

For the UKers you'll remember the pop band Steps? Well you may have seen the main singer in the media, she was a UK size 20!! She has lost 5 stone. I've just got her DVD on ebay, it looks good! Can't believe how much weight she's lost.

Ha ha, I remember Toffee, many moons ago, dancing away at cheesy discos and nightclubs. I remember her looking big but never fat. She seems to be one of those people that carry it off really well. I will look out for the DVD though.

did my first exercise session :-)

40 mins! I'm so unfit lol x

Great job, Toffee!! Yay, it'll pay off!!!

I worked out Monday - did some cardio, some weight training and abs. Had to take yesterday off as I was too busy with first day of work. :cry: Will be back to it today though.

40 minutes is AWESOME Toffee!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!

Well, my scale hasn't budged :'( and I have cheated quite a bit, BUT I am exercising more Although this am I only got 10 min of tae bo cuz thane woke up screaming for me oh well..maybe this afternoon.

Great job!!!!!!!

I've not weighed myself yet. Won't until after af has arrived, cause right now I'm bloated and my boobs are bigger!

I usually eat 2-3 cookies per shift (5 shifts per week) and I've had one this week. They are 222 calories each, so it's hopefully gonna make a huge difference!

Well, I quit nursing last week and I feel this huge hormonal surge going on in me right now!
All I want to do is eat chocolate!!!!!! Sigh!!!!! I'm trying to be good but it's so hard!

I'm just trying to get through one day at a time!!

Lou Lou -- Yay on getting your boobies back! How are your cravings now?

I have been pretty good this week. Worked out 5 out of 7 days. Did cardio and weights and abs every time. I also have been good about what I eat. Haven't stepped on the scale, so we will see tomorrow...

How is everybody else doing?

I've done awfully with eating!!

Monday's a new day and a new week hehe. Will definitely be working out every other day from now on! I need to pull my socks up hehe. I'm on my period, so that's what I'm blaming the bad diet on hehehe x

Oh Toffee, I TOTALLY understand, :af: is also in town for me. I allowed myself a few nibbles of chocolate, but otherwise ate plenty of veggies and fruit etc. When I eat well, then I allow myself a little treat now and then, too.

Is it too late to join in?

No, not at all. mscherry!!!

Welcome

I was doing well today, did a work out etc and then had a mcdonalds lol.

Oh dear! Ah well, I'm getting there!

That's ok Toffee!!! We all have those Mcd's days

I have lost 3 lbs so far, but I guess I have more to losethan I thought :S I am still 5 lbs away from my goal! I don't think i'll make it w/o starving myself and that's NOT gonna happen!I have eaten MOSTLY healthy, but I have had some chocolate and some PB treats I don't know why i have to love sweets

oh well...I have 5 more days
