Thread: New to ww

Hi all. I'm new to ww and joined tonight, 8ive always done sw but i was no longer losing weight. So I decided to give ww a go. What do people typically have to eat on a daily basis? I work long hours so I was also wanting some ideas on what meals to have whilst at work. Thanks

I tend to use ready meals for convenience at work or my infamous curry stew but to be honest with ww nothing is really off limits and I think from my limited sw knowledge you will find work menus easier now/ I use kingsmill 50/50 crustaway bread for sandwiches if they are more your thing. You will get lots of different ideas off people on here and good luck!

Hi I'm new to ww too just moved over from slimming world also! I must say today has been my first day and its been great! So much Easyier then slimming world as I can eat what I won't as long as I have points to cover it nothing is off limits which is fab for me! Just having smaller amount! Today I've had ww crips 2pp ww cake 2pp ww ready meal 7pp 2 slices of Danish bread 2pp with one slice of ww cheese 1pp and I put it in the George Forman to make a cheese toasty! And that's it only 14pp!! Don't know what to use the rest on :/ may have a few cups of tea with full fat milk to use my points up for the rest of the day! xx

I had today:

Breakfast

Laughing cow extra light triangle 0PP

Lunch

22PP so far with 4 left over...... Trying to re-train my brain to eat more but getting there slowly :-)

Also been to the gym and had fab work out :-)

Hope this might give you some ideas :-) Xxx

Are the asda noodles like super noodles? Love those, so I'll be stocking up if they are x

Yeah but they are asda's smart price range and the packets are much smaller hence why 2PP!!! Super noodles are much higher in PP's hence why I've stocked up on these, only 11p too!!! Bargain :-) Xxxx

Remember it's the 65g packet, doesn't sound a lot but you get plenty :-) Xxx

Fab thank you x

Our leader told us to do that. She said she walks around asda writing on the boxes. Haha, I think I'll do the same. I found a great food directory online that looks really helpful too

I'm sure people must think I'm a crazy lady when I'm in a supermarket...... I'm always working out the PP's on my phone and then either writing on stuff or applying stickers!!! Bonkers but I kinda enjoy it :-)

Got first weigh in tonight since beginning of Nov.....eeeek! Xxxx

Thanks for the link I'm the same always on my phone as If its over 10 I won't buy it lol! Normally love finding snacks that are 2 or 3pp found lemon cake slices in teach today for 2pp can't wait to have one after dinner xxx

Iv spent some time today working out points for items I use a lot. That's helped. I downloaded the free iPhone calculator. Iv bought some of the ww crisps and snacks which are great because I know I don't have to worry about having something that is loads of points

I also had a bit of time on my hands this afternoon and got some sandwich bags and weighed out rice and pasta but them in the bags and put labels on them with the points saves doing it when I'm starving and just won't to eat it not weigh it xx
