Defector here! :wavey: On my second week of WW after nearly 4 months of Slimming World. Loving it! So much more flexible and better suited to my lifestyle :) Good luck all :) x x

Yep, I am! Although will be strange as I have never really met his colleagues before and not many are bringing their partners! Decided to still stick with a propoints day and have the steak option(will cut fat off though obviously!). Looked into it further and those points that I mentioned...

Well done Georgina! Mmm KFC! xx

Agreed! It just looks like I ate so much!! Was yummy though! :) x

Good luck for your interview and weigh in today Georgina!!!! :fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::cross::cross::cross::cross: x x

Fooooood for yesterday! Monday 8th July Breakfast - Smoothie - Fruit and FF Natural Yoghurt - 1pp. Mid Morning Snack - Apple Lunch - 2 x Crumpets - 5pp and 1/2 can of Baked Beans - 5pp Afternoon Snack - FF Greek Yoghurt and Frozen Berries - 1pp Salty and Sweet Popcorn - M&S - 2pp After Work -...

Here to subscribe lovely :) hope it's all going well! X x

Yep that's what I will do :) thanks again. Off to bed now! I'm sleepy tonight! Goodnight! X z

I will probably just point 3 onion rings and ask for no dressing :) sorted! X x

That is a fair point, I think that is what I will do. Thank you ladies, I panicked for a minute! Typical men, always late notice! X

Ooh that's a point may have to think about that. I'm having a smoothie for breakfast with fruit and ff natural yoghurt, a warburtons thin for lunch with chicken and salad and then just fruit so that would all come under F&H wouldn't it? That's a good point, thanks Scarlet. Haha Sugar Fairy...

Ahh yeah it is :) not been before, but his workmate picked it. I've been to similar pubs though of the same chain. Just wanted to make sure I planned ahead so that I can still enjoy it and not stress about food! X x

Yeah it is :) the watermill? To be honest even after the rest of the day I will have 28pp to play with so I can count say 25pp to be safe if necessary. :) x

The two options I am thinking of deciding between when I get there are: - Beef Lasagne (under 500 calorie meal) 13pp and 2 pieces of pub garlic bread (for beefeater pubs this is 5pp) so 18pp altogether OR - 8oz Rump Steak 7pp, Large Jacket Potato 8pp, salad and maybe treat myself to the 3...

It's Marstons? They only mention the 500 calories meals but no other nutritional info :/ x x

I will have 28pp to use if necessary! X

It's a marinade in the bag that you get from WW meetings, diced some chicken and peppers and put in the oven till done. And then just brown rice and salad. Was yummy. I need help again ladies. Other half has just told me that it is his works meal tomorrow night and we are going! I know, plenty...

Yummmm dinner was lovely :) definitely having that again, I had extra points and was starving so I even had a slightly bigger portion of rice than normal. Weighed of course! Sweet and Salty popcorn is lushhhh :)

Of course we will Mrs K, we are a good bunch and are happy to welcome anyone :) x x

Well I have Tandoori Chicken and green peppers in a weight watchers cook in the bag marinade in the oven to be served with brown rice and salad for dinner :) Then a Mars ice cream and a bag of salty and sweet popcorn :) happy days! I take it you haven't decided yet?! X x

Evening ladies :) Are we all well? I'm currently lazing in the bath with the smell of dinner wafting through, smells yummy. Treats for tonight all planned out too :) X x

Thank youuuuu :) x

Help needed! Brown rice - the tracker has dry weights and boiled weights, what is the best to go with and how many grams and points is a portion? Thanks in advance! X x

Welcome MrsK! :wavey: Great to have you here, it is much appreciated! Good luck for WW! I've already found WW to be so much more flexible, it suits my lifestyle so much more. Let us know if you need anything, I'm not an expert but the ladies on here are :) We'd love for you to join in...

Thank you all for your help, I think I am just trying to figure out how I want to go about this! Yeah I agree Sam, if I can't sit down of an evening and have a little treat then I would binge like mad! x x

Oooh congratulations on the job interview Georgina! What type of thing is it for? :) Wishing you all the luck in the world! x x

Yeah, I guess that was quite good wasn't it ;) long may that continue! x Sugar Fairy - Yeah I think you are right, it seems mad though that I am struggling to eat enough points haha! x

I just don't know if it would affect my weightloss or not! And I worry that if I get used to not using them but then one weekend I use them all, then that week I would gain? Do you know what I mean? For example, today I have 9 points left for some treats tonight so won't need any extra? x x

Slimming World started well for me but then I just slowed down completely, in the 6 weeks before I joined WW I yo-yo'ed around 1.5lb and I was being golden, like insanely good! Had my first weigh in for WW on Saturday and lost 4lb so long may it continue! x x

Ahhh we are on the same points :) Yeah I don't know if I should use them or not :/ x x

HI Bev :wavey: Not sure I will give you inspiration but there is a lovely group of ladies on this thread and it's definitely motivational :) Hope it goes well tonight, have you done WW before? :) xx

Yeah it seems mad that I am trying to think of treats that will use my points haha! It could be a lot worse I guess! Don't know how I am going to use my weeklies! Do you use all of yours? x

Maybe as Sam said above, maybe your leader meant to use your 49 weeklies? x .................... So Propoints is weird! I've mapped out my day with what I want to eat that keeps me full but is still healthy and feels fresh and I have 10 points remaining! I know I will use some for a sweet...

Hi All, Not sure if there is anyone still trying to get from the 15's to the 14's! On Saturday I weighed in and went from 16st1.5lb to 15st11.5lb so now my focus is getting into the 14's. That will be the least I have weighed for quite a long time and I am only 23 so I am really hoping I can...

I think that is going to be my issue to be honest, I don't really drink much so will end up eating my points in treats. However that isn't supposed to matter is it? That is why they are there :) x

Georgina, I found that if I write down all of the reasons that I first decided to make the decision and go to a group, that then I can read that back when I'm struggling and it helps me focus. Maybe you could try that lovely? X

Hey Georgina, I've commented you back on my diary thread. Hope you are okay :) x x

Hi Georgina, I'm confused as to what you mean, surely she shouldn't be telling you that you can eat over your points as that is the reason we have a points allowance, to regulate the amount of calories and food we eat? Hope you are okay, sounds like a bit of a rubbish time for you :( x

No more McDonalds this week haha! X

Hi Claire, thank youuu! Ah we do have a lot of parallels! Strange! Yeah Slimming World wasn't working for me and I was worried that Weight Watchers wouldn't either, but evidently the Simple Start plan did, hopefully points will too :) how are you finding it? How did you get on with SW? :) have...

Thanks guys that is awesome. Can make a little shopping list now! Really enjoying flexibility of points :) today I knew was going to be a nightmare due to being really busy and needing convenience so: Breakfast - smoothie as per usual - lots of fruit and 100g of ff natural yoghurt - 1pp Lunch...

Yeah Georgina, just the things you eat most of, foods that you rely on :) x

Right ladies, I really need your help. I'm currently making a list of all the things I eat and how many propoints they are. As it's all new to me I am just trying to figure everything out. What are your staple foods and how many propoints are they? If you could help that would be great x x

Here we go then. Not a great photo but I can actually see the difference with the 1st5.5lb I've lost. This was me and the other half off to the wedding tonight. Bring on the next stone! :) x x

Mcdonalds was 20 I think so not brilliant but I craved it so bad and really enjoyed it. Thank you Sugar Fairy :) x

I am made up Lauren :) so happy! It was so unexpected! Thank you x

Also I hope you feel better Hun, I hate it when I feel like you do now. Thank you, I was ecstatic with my loss :) x

Go for a walk or sit in the sun somewhere it will clear your head :) x

I hope you are okay. Maybe get out and go for a walk or something, clear your head? X

Yeah it was Mcdonalds. I normally eat them just for convenience but it tasted better today because it had been so long since I had one! X

I'm sorry but this has happened. Still have 17 propoints left though. I have waited 4 1/2 months for this. Sorry (Not Sorry) :)

Thank you :) I'm extremely happy right now. Put me in a good mood for my uncles wedding party tonight :) Yeah I am on propoints now :) 37 dailies :) x x

4lb offfffff. Couldn't believe it. Actually danced. So happy. Thank you for all the support girls :) x x

Quick food diary for yesterday: Friday 4th July. Breakfast - Smoothie - banana, raspberry, strawberry and ff natural yoghurt. Mid morning - Apple Lunch - Chicken salad sandwich on warburtons thin Afternoon - Ff Greek yoghurt and frozen berries. Dinner/tea - Chicken salad wraps. (Too...

Thanks lovely ladies, I will let you know once I've weighed. The reason I'm worried Georgina is literally down to bread. It makes me feel a bit bloated and having swapped straight from SW to WW, simple start is very similar to SW except for the fact you can have bread. Hopefully it won't be too...

Just got home. Absolutely shattered. Do not fancy weighing early tomorrow but will do it! Haha don't hold your breath too much, I think it's going to take me a while to get to grips with it! Hope you are okay :) x x

Thank you all. I'm so apprehensive about it right now but I have done all I can do now so we will see what happens. If it is a gain, then I know it is the change in diet but hoping it's a loss, even a small one would be great x x

Babysitting tonight and flippin' simple start means I can't even pick anything up on the way. Have 10 minutes to get in from work, get changed and go out again! Ahhhhhh. Just shoved some cooked chicken pieces, WW wraps and some bits of salad into a bag and will have to assemble something once...

Well done Scarlet that is awesome. I definitely couldn't hack that! x

Thank you for the long post Sam! And for joining my little support group, it is much appreciated :) Hopefully I can go on to propoints tomorrow, I did WW before and I do actually enjoy counting points because I feel that my portions are better and I am in direct control of what I eat. However I...

Morning all :) Weigh in tomorrow! Nervous! Babysitting tonight and having to take a bag of lots of fruits and snacks in order to keep away from the crisps and chocolate that I would normally have! Oh yeah, food diary for yesterday: Thursday 3rd July Breakfast - Smoothie as per usual -...

Well done, that is great Vikki :) x

Hi Serena, I am just checking in to subscribe. I am sorry that it seems you have had a difficult time recently however that just made me want to subscribe more! You have had a difficult week or so and you have faced it head on and made a plan for the next few weeks, that is the motivation I...

Hi Nessa, Just checking in so that I can subscribe and join in with those supporting you :) x

I am doing okay, had a pretty big break through today which was nice so that is in my diary, there is a link in my signature if you are struggling to find it :) It's going okay, just annoyed because I am going to be out shopping tonight and could really do with being able to grab some...

Well done hun :) x

Saying no wasn't the hard bit. The hard bit was when they were all eating their food. Oh god, the smell was amazing. However by then it was too late and I couldn't go back on my word so it meant I couldn't give in! x

Oh MY God. I am so proud of myself right now. Talk about Willpower! There is a McDonalds down the road from work and one of the girls was doing a McDonalds run. Everyone in the office was having lunch from there and in order not to feel left out when she got back and unloaded the goodies, I...

Thank you lovely, support is invaluable and I will support you too :) We can ALL do this! x

Yeah I do need to think about some mini goals to be honest. My goal for a while has been to get into the 15's but I have been tantalizingly close for about 4/5 weeks! Hopefully that will happen in the next 2 weeks! x

Haha Ant and Dec are my idols! :) The Shortbread was nice actually.Got them from Poundland. x

Right Guys, I have just had a random epiphany and I wanted to share it, I need to write it down to remind myself when I am feeling a bit demotivated. I am 23 years old. My goal is to be a size 12. I haven't been a size 12 since I was 15/16. I don't even know what I would weigh in at when I am a...

Thanks Tess. I am really excited to get on to points to be honest! Bit more freedom and it will mean that convenience food isn't a complete no go! Wow that is amazing for 3 weeks. I guess it just shows that some diets just don't work for some people! I am getting to grips with Simple Start...

Sugar Fairy, I do not need to hide under a rock, luckily! So no bugs for meeeeee :) Food Diary for yesterday has been counted and verified and I can reveal that yesterday I ate..... Wednesday 2nd July Breakfast - Smoothie - Raspberries, Banana and Pineapple and fat free natural yoghurt (I am...

They must be low in propoints surely? X

Haha maybe. If it goes well! If not I may hide under a rock for a few months! X

Hi MrsWelshchap! I started WW on Saturday so I'm a newbie too! Have switched straight from slimming world though. Hope everything is going well for you :) x

Hope everyone has had a lovely day. Got tea on at the moment, mini fry up :) mmmm. Can't wait. Slightly panicked right now due to having toner in my hair. I'm naturally brunette but dip dye my hair so it has blonde in it too, now I want it more blonde so re dip dyed it on Monday and now using...

My downfall is so many things. I have to have something sweet in the evening. It never used to bother me but now I have to. Whether it is chocolate, biscuits or sweet cinema style popcorn, I don't mind, I just like sweet! However I think my main downfall is cake. I love to bake. I've baked...

Hopefully propoints on Saturday, it is my next weigh in and I have a wedding party to go to on the evening so would like to be able to have a few cheeky G&T's without having to worry as on Simple Start I would only be able to have 2 singles and then that would be all I was allowed! No idea. The...

Hi Scarlet. I am popping in to Subscribe and cheer you on from the side lines :) Sorry I am a bit late to the party but better late than never! Good luck and hope you have had a good day! x

I've just 'treated' myself to an apple haha! Sat at my computer at work with a tuckshop sat behind me and I am fighting but resisting the temptation to get the big bag of chocolate peanuts! I will resist though! Quite hungry but once I finish work the time goes quickly and then it will be tea...

Hi Georgina, Just returning the favour and subscribing to your diary so that we can all support each other! How you getting on today? :) x

Haha that sounds a lot like when I was at uni! Fast food, pubs and eating out haha! It's great that you can still do all of that whilst being within your points though! Well done on your losses so far. I would kill for a KFC right now, just need to get through Simple Start first! Yeah Slimming...

Hi Scarlet, Thank you that is great :) Much appreciated :) I think it is the same as Filling and Healthy pretty much except from when you do Filling and Healthy you can choose to have 49 weeklies instead of 2 treats a day but on Simple Start it is just a bit more rigid for your first week and...

Fat Free Natural Yoghurt is free on Simple Start but I am unsure about Propoints, Sorry! I always add some cocoa first and then add sweetener to taste as cocoa and natural yoghurt are both a bit bitter so I just add sweetener until it tastes good. It's like a nice mousse. Then if you freeze...

Also, apologies for the avatar that makes me look extremely grumpy haha! x

That's what I am worried about! I literally had 2 days from deciding to stop SW and start WW so I am worried that my body is still used to slimming world however I am also eating bread on top of that! We will see though I guess! If I do gain I am going to try and not be disheartened because I...

Thank you :) I'm just looking forward to getting on to propoints because even though I have swapped from SW to WW, the Simple Start plan is fairly similar just with the addition of some bread. I'm excited to be able to have something I fancy using my points and then just reign in my other meals...

Hi All, Just checking in with my diary for yesterday :) Tuesday 1st July Breakfast - Smoothie - Bananas, Raspberries and Blueberries with Fat Free Yoghurt Mid Morning Snack - Apple Lunch - Crumpets and Beans ( I know, so far it is the same as Monday!) Afternoon Snack - Fat Free Natural...

Mmmmm those Spring Rolls sound epic! Will definitely have to try them! Thanks Vikki. Sorry to hear about your week, it happens though, hope you enjoyed being a bit naughty? :) Good luck for tomorrow, I'm sure it won't be as bad as you think! x

My weigh in is on a Saturday morning, which is quite nice and gives me a fresh start each weekend. I'm finding it okay, having moved from slimming world I am finding it odd to be able to eat bread again, even if it is calorie controlled bread! Quite looking forward to going on to pro points...

That is really useful to know ladies, thank you so much. Maybe knowing that will help me to be less pessimistic :) it's so nice to not have to treat a bread item as a luxury! X

Thank you Georgina, that's great :) x

Ahh small world, it appears we have crossed over. Although I only moved to Kidderminster in December, before that I lived in Leicester for 4&1/2 years for uni :) Are you on Propoints then? How long have you been on Weight Watchers? Do you like it? :) x

Thank youuuu! :) Haha I am indeed. Funnily enough, I am a fellow Wolves girl :P I live in Kidderminster now but grew up just outside Wolverhampton and went to school there, family live there etc! x

Hi All, Last Wednesday I had my last Weigh In at SW, after 17 weeks I was fed up and demotivated but after losing 1st1.5lb I did not want to undo my hard work so made the change to Weight Watchers. I went to my first meeting on Saturday and am currently on the Simple Start plan. I have stuck to...

Hi Ladies, I do the above with the fat free yoghurt all the time! Throw a bit of sweetener in to taste also, really yummy. Better still, when I was on SW, I used to syn a tsp and 1/2 of Cocoa and mix that in too - really chocolatey! Hope you are all having a good day! x

Hi All, Tess - I have just read through this thread and it appears we are pretty similar! I have just swapped from SW to WW, have similar weight stats to you and we are both midlanders haha! How are you finding it? I weighed in at Slimming World last Wednesday and enough was enough, I was so...

Wow that is amazing Margaret! Well done! Did you find that you ate bread and wraps etc in your first week at WW? I have had some crumpets and a couple of things but I am worried about using bread as my crutch for lunches again because I had next to no bread on SW and I am scared of this...

Thanks both! I will have a mooch through the different diaries and try and find some new recipes! There are so many things that I can have in F&H that there must be so many recipe ideas! Haha Vikki - I lived off things like Egg, Chips and Beans when I was on Slimming World and it always...

Hi All, I hope you don't mind me commenting! I joined Weight Watchers on Saturday after 17 weeks on Slimming World and I am looking for friends haha! How are you finding it? What are you favourite meals to cook? Are you on F&H or Points now? Sorry for the 100000x questions! I hope you don't...

Thank you all for your responses. I phoned my consultant on Thursday and spoke to her about my original message to get her thoughts and she basically said I was lying and that I was obviously not being truthful in my food diary, eating more bad things than I was writing down. Which is honestly...

Hi All, Can I join the convert party too? :) I weighed in at slimming world on Wednesday and then joined Weight Watchers on Saturday morning, so still fairly early days. So far I am enjoying it, being able to have bread and wraps is so strange but something I definitely like, it makes lunches...

Hi All, I'm fairly new to the site and on Saturday I went to my first Weight Watchers Meeting, however last Wednesday was my last weigh in at Slimming World! It just wasn't working for me so I decided to make the switch. The above information is extremely helpful so thank you all (I know I am...

Hi All, I have always used this site for information in the past but have never joined myself before. My reason for joining is I really need advice! I have been following Slimming World for the last 17 weeks. I have stuck to it rigidly and been extremely good. However I have only lost 1st so...
