It's all a little bit foreign to me :)

Hi guys, I have just started weight watchers after doing slimming world for about a year and a half. Was just wondering if someone could have a look at what I have eaten today and tell me if it is ok as have spent all day feeling like I have 'cheated.'
i get 35pp's a day and so far today I have had:

Breakfast
40g porridge oats
60g blueberries
1tbs honey
Total 6pp's

Lunch
onion bagel
cottage cheese
tomato
pineapple
Total 8pp's

for dinner I am going to have something from the count on us range at marks and Spencer's. I just feel that it is too good to be true that I can eat all these types of food and still lose weight

I love both ww and sw. They are veru different plans and both have there pros and cons. But yes ww is very flexible and teaches you about portion control and i sometime find ww shows you that you can have the pizza and chips that everyone else is having and teaches you that you should have a smaller portion. Whereas sw allows you to eat larger portions of naturally healthier stuff.

They are both basically plans that limit your cals in different ways. Just gotta find what works for you.

Think I am just concerned that even though I am within my points I am eating too many naughty things to lose weight lol
I made my porridge with water but don't you get a milk allowance of half a pint a day?

If you stick with your dailies and youre weeklies you will lose!

No you need to point milk :) they suggest you incorperate 1/2 pint into your points :)

Personally i would definatly eat them. Because should your weight loss stall you have something to cut back on, whereas if you dont eat them and you stall you have to ride it out as you have nothing to take away.

Eat them and enjoy them! You can have them anyway you like. Some have 7 per day and some have 49 in one or 2 days. Means you get to havee your fave treats :)

you have to point all your milk no allowance for it ,if i am struggling to eat all my points i have a sandwich for supper or a treat or add a really nuce cup a soup in with my lunch some of the nice ones are 3 pp , i feel its best to have the weeklies as when u get nearer your target you have got something to cut down on ! you could always have a couple of bottles of wine to use them up or pass them to me i will get rid of them lol
