Hiya Kat

I don't go to class either so its definately possible to do it from home and stick to it. Have you done WW before? This forum is absolutely brilliant and will give you all the motivation you need, there is a brill recipe thread too with tonnes of excellent ideas.

ww definately works, i did a few years back and found it pretty easy to get to my target weight after struggling pretty much my whole life with my weight. For the first time i was average size. Put on a couple of stone over few years (not as bad as what i used to be) but need to get back down so im back at ww.

Just ask if theres anything your not sure of. I would say drink loads of water (bout 2 litres a day) if you can manage, it definately helps. You should try and eat all your points too (although i have to get better at that), also try to weigh yourself just once a week, can be disheartening if you jump on and off all time and don't see results straight away (another thing i need to get better at)

Good luck with it hun

When I first started on diet (initially with scottish slimmers) I had about 4/5 stone to lose so its totally do able hon!!

Your points will depend on a few things, there is a thread at the top of forum that will help you work out how many points you should be on. Let me know if you cant find it and ill paste it on here for you.

Recipes on here are great, ive also ordered a few new ww books on amazon, quite reasonable!!

If you are not a water drinker you can always add no added sugar diluting juice to it, won't make any diff.

[Kat25]

Both links worked thanks

The calculator is magic. You can keep track of what you've eaten by putting in your points in in the morn and taking off as you eat. It can also calculate the points value of anything, you just put in the calories and sat fat, its brill!!

This site is also a god send

My Long and Bumpy Journey - A new me in 2007
The long and bumpy road

It gives you points value for most takeaways

[Kat25]
