    Im so excited about loseing weight now and getting fit again.

    LimeSlice Im so sorry to hear that I hope your ok and the good memories keep you going (((HUGS)))) Im a bit of an emotional eater as well. I also think stress plays a big part in my weight gain, I sometimes dont eat when im stressed but instead of loseing weight I put it on, it happened to me when my parents seperated for a year my mam had a nervous breakdown and disapeared. with my little sister who was 12 at the times. then just after I had Eireann so called friends tried to F us over and it was so so stressful. so im not surprised i put on more weight. but no more now on wards and upwards.

    missymoo84 good tips thanks, I must remember to try them. we went for a lovely walk today for an hour really enjoyed it and would have walked for longer but it was getting late.

    I was really good I think today and it was hard, after dinner at around 9pm all i wanted was to eat but had a cup of earl gray instead and im grand now.

    keep us posted girls on how your doing have you weighed your selfs yet I weighed my self saturday, but will weigh in again on Thursday when i go to the meeting.

    Like someone said portion size is really important, especially at night when I tend to eat too much. WW teaches portion control which is great. I hadn't been to a meeting for a month (due to being away) and only put on 800 gr which was really good for me as I was dreading the weigh in. But I have lost 11 kilos with them and am breastfeeding and get hungry heaps. For me, it was reducing my cheese intake and halving my pasta and rice portions as they were king size and didn't need to be. Now I eat more protein and loads more veg and salad. I have salad at night even if DH doesn't. Often we eat diff things but mine are simple to prepare and I do it before hand when bubs asleep. Let us know how you go onThurs.
