I made a "fake-away" tonight - calzone with salad - serious noms! the calzone itself was only 5 points on weightwatchers
Gosh it really sounds hard to buy any vegetables over there. I am doing slimming world but I attend the classes. I cannot speak for the online service but the plan is really good as you never have to go hungry or have small portions, which is a must for me!Can anyone join? badly in need of motivation and a bit of moral support, since moving to france 9 months ago i have put on 2 stone and i am miserable, it's so hard to eat healthy here being vegan, the veg is really expensive (4 euros for a brocolli at the moment!) and i'm sick to the back teeth of lentils and chickpeas...they don't do take away so i think i'm exsisting on chocolate and crisp...does anyone do the SW on line? and is it worth the money?

Yes they still have those bars. I would be so happy with your weight so do not be hard on yourself. You do not have much to lose so it can be done.it is, the plan was to grow them myself but i moved over too late last year to grow anything but chard, spinach and salad leaves, all the veg is really expensive over here, my veg bill for the guinea pigs has gone from £10 to about 30 euros a week, i have to import their dried food from the UK as over here the cheapest decient dried food is just under 40 euros for a 5kg bag, the only cheap things here is gas, fags, wine and guinea fowl. whine over for now...so i weighed myself this morning and was 12 stone 3lbs, gutted heavier than i guessed, when i moved out here i was just under 10 stone... I did SW after having the children and loved it but found if i didn't go to class every few weeks then bad habits crept back quickly...do they still do those yummy choc bars that were classed as a healthy extra ? (going back a few years now!)
Go away! I feel hungry now. I have a jacket potato and tuna arranged for my tea. Even whilst I was staying in the hotel, for breakfast, I had 1 piece of toasted brown bread, beans, grilled tomato, grilled mushrooms, 2 grilled lean bacon and 2 poached eggs. I was stuffed after eating that.
Turning to food during difficult times was not something in your control. You needed a crutch. Please do not blame yourself. It is a lot better then turning to alcohol. I have to lose five stone so I know how you feel having to lose a lot.Joining weight watchers on Wednesday with my mum, a couple years back we had 3 deaths in our family that happened very quickly within a couple of months and looking at myself now i didn't deal with in the best way possible...
I've got quite a bit to lose and I'm pretty angry with myself right now but I'm really motivated because if i don't take control now while I'm young I might never do it!
I know what I'm doing wrong it's not my main meals is all the c..p i eat in between them so I'm going to swap it for fruit... and stick to this weight watchers plan!
I hope your all doing well with your diets and good luck!

How much do they weigh?My guinea pigs are in! I want them to lose some weight! (chubby piggies )
One pound is a slab of butter. That is great!Only lost 1 pound so far, but I know it will take a while. Didn't help that I just had a HUGE meal at Frankie and Bennys. I'm going to the gym tomorrow so will work extra hard to burn it off!
