Honestly, weight watchers.

I'm thinking of going to my local one tomorrow after trying (and failing) to do it online. Urgh.

It's a good system but obviously you have to do it for life, and well I think I may need to be told what to do :p:

I wish, but it costs money!

Maybe I could stop eating and spend the food budget on it, that might work :p:

Hello TSR

. My problem is more that I'm feeling pretty crappy at the moment and was hoping for some support from...well, anyone, really.

do that exactly. Get a "healthy living partner" lol sound so cheesy... but yeh, I owuld definitely suggest findign someone in the same situation as you to help support oyu, share advice, and just be there at the end fo the phone, so you can call them when you're having a difficult moment.

In the mean time - well done on getting down to a healthy size :smile:

it's not your fault that you were ill and so put it all on again - it's just incredibly bad luck. So don't feel bad about it - I'm sure if you keep to the same routine, you'll be back in no time.

Hmm, I didn't realise it was that cheap. Might be worth a go actually; I could do with meeting some non-size-6 people. University is the wrong place to be a blob. :mad:

Ditto to that, I have a new job in September working as a trainee manager in Dorothy Perkins. I need to shift some (all) of this baggage.

Anyway I'm going tomorrow, at 9.30am. No day but today etc etc.
Go find your local one now :biggrin:

I don't think tomorrow will happen as I haven't been to sleep for a day and a half - but I've found my nearest meeting already. I am nothing if not efficient, if not in calorie-burning terms then at least in Googling.

I was always afraid of Dorothy Perkins when I was younger because all the thin girls go in there :eek:

Make sure to be nice to girls with big bums. :hmmm:

^ in our local one, it's always been the slightly larger older women who go there.

Aha! *plans for future* :ninja:

Seriously, that's one of the worst things about putting on weight, realising that you don't fit size X any more. Then suddenly you're however many sizes up and staring at yourself in the changing room mirror wondering what happened.

...Oh dear, I am maudlin today.

Well I hope you go anyway! I've spent years talking about it and never really doing anything about it. Same with driving, and my first lesson is tomorrow. Big day of firsts :biggrin:

Good for you :smile:

Hope it goes well!

Today will be the first day of my successful diet. I have decided. I have made a post on TSR. No more blobbiness. This will be an important day for both of us. :yep:

Not exactly an obvious piece of advice, and it's pointing out the bleeding obvious, but, you've done it once and I know you can do it again because of it. Furthermore, don't think of it as a diet, think of it as a way of living. A diet, think of it like that, chances are you'll revert back to the old way after you've lost the weight, change in behaviour, it becomes the norm and keeps the weight off which is the hardest part.

Good luck OP :biggrin:

I'm currently joining you both in getting fitter and healthier (but without the weightwatchers, haha - even £5.50p/w stretches my budget).

I'm going to have to cut down on the cigarettes for £5.50 if I'm honest, the credit crunch has hit me hard :frown:

haha.

Good luck!

From what I have heard from loads of people up and down the country a lot of weight watchers are like in Little Britain, insulting and all they really do is tell you what you know.

All it really is a lot of times is a group of people being there for each other which can be done for free surely

Know the feeling, unfortunately.

Drbluebox - I don't know anyone who goes to Weightwatchers (damn all the skinny students, haha!) but that doesn't sound good. Is that a popular opinion?

i think the best advice i could give anyone for loosing weight as someone said before dont think of it as a diet think of it as a new way of life and a must buy book is 'cook yourself thin' 4 women cooking real food but healthier ways there was a channel 4 series you can get it on amazon for a fiver anyway my mother lost 3 dress sizes and i went from a 10 to 8 and i still ate chocolate cake and curries! :biggrin:
