lol make some Persimmon and Cabbage soup? I had no idea that Persimmon was it's name I have only seen them be called Sharon Fruit - what did we do before Google? They are odd I haven't had one for years they are a bit tomato like in texture, never tried cooking with one though. Men!!

I think ours go down to 35 because we can have "Sattmacher" (literally translated as satisfied maker) portions of the green pro point foods on the normal plan. As far I have found out that is not something included in the English plan but am interested to know if that is right. So basically...

Well done Goose!! And Galaxy-Girl that sounds delicous bet it made the house smell great too, enjoy :)

Oh dear Fatal, that must have been disappointing :( I see you were taking the stairs at work, does that mark a big increase in activity? Because sometimes newly active muscles can hold onto water which will disappear in a week or two.

small

I have a top that when i bought it back in 2007 it was already too small for me in the hopes it would spur me on to get into it, I tried to get into it earlier and I could wear it but need to lose some more before actually wanting to be seen in public with it on lol. I have made it a mini goal...

Well done on your loss so far and good luck at class tonight :)

I am going to find out how many points WW says I can eat without gaining weight and then try and stick within those on days that might be tricky. Hopefully that means I can still enjoy myself whilst stopping me going on an all out free for all bingefest. I bet I will be able to be under those...

Great news Baileybu :D

Totally, this time next year we'll be looking forward to the Christmas Party Season because we'll be looking great in our new outfits :)

socks

I don't blame you Porter Friday weigh in seem a lot less stressful lol. Keep us informed as to how you get on :)

Thanks girls, I am doing the loser dance just for you :D ...and now my boyfriend is looking at me weirdly lol

Well done Emma, down is down :D

Another kilogram off for me tonight so I just under half a pound off my previous best weightloss from the beginning of the year, hopefully I should be into the 18s not too far into new year 2012 :) How has everyone else found Monday?

cream

1 kilo off for me this week, which is just over 2lbs, so i am very happy :D

1 kilo off for me this week, I think I'll probably be just short of my target but even so I am really happy with what I have lost this month :) Nomes - 3lbs Goose - 4lbs (lost 4lbs) Kerry - 5lbs jrabbit81 - 12.5lb azwethinkweiz - 2lb (+2lb, -3lb, 1lb to go) Becktoria79 - 3.5lbs Holliexx...

Well done Tracy, great start so far, how are you finding life on ProPoints? :)

Brilliant Ashclow, I'd be happy with even half that amazing amount :)

I think they give the weeklies so that we don't get stressed out by going out for an evening when there is little chance of sticking to plan. Otherwise you might get the feeling of having blown the diet and the rest of the week starts to unravel, it just means that the diet can fit around life...

Oh dear that sounds a bit stressful, hope you're fully recovered now. You did brilliantly with the Indian food, so hard to be good when those around you are tucking into forbidden fruits. I thought Little Mix were great this week, previously I have been disappointed, mainly because I really...

If you're not eating the fruit and veggies then I should stick with 29 points because you won't be getting the extra calories that people who do eat a lot of "free" foods will be. For example there is about 100 calories in the average banana, if there are 40 calories in 1 ProPoint as people are...

I totally agree about over doing carbs like pasta on SW, there was nothing more motivation destroying than having a week 100% on plan and having a sts or worse. I did feel hungry at first with WW but that was because I was learning portion control and really I can't often tell you if I'm...

Oh I can't take credit for that, that is galaxy-girls fab idea :) Glad you had a great day at the meet up, hope you enjoy your primark haul :D

Tooth

If it's within your allowed points I'm forbidding you to frown about it :p Nighty night :)

Herb

lol yeah it was quite stressful at times :p I think she had a couple of bunnies that went missing when the people looking after it never came back to group :D

I wanted a Thursday weigh in originally so that I would be able to work off the weekend lol, but having a Monday one means that I behave myself more often than not, so it was a blessing in disguise I suppose.

Kebabs aren't too bad as far as take aways go, about 16 points for a lamb one I think, quite high but no where as bad as some things you could have had :)

Oh dear, I am sure you've been better than you think, even when not pointing there is a little voice in the back of our heads making sure we stick to it somewhat. Enjoy your soupage :) I am good went on a lovely walk this afternoon up some rather steep hills, strange what the appearance of the...

So how is everyone feeling about tomorrows weigh in? For once I am feeling quite positive :)

When I was at Slimming World our consultant had a bunny that someone would take home, and if you gained while looking after him she'd cut a limb off, so everyone was extra good because they didn't want to be responsible for getting its ear chopped off :p

So happy this morning, was looking through my clothes for something to wear and remembered that I bought some new stuff just before I left England which was a size too small and it now fits!! Wahooo!!

Well done Carly and have fun at the meeting today :)

pecking

Oh good idea, my Mum is visiting in a couple of weeks to visit Christmas Markets (I fear the meeting after she goes home) so I shall ask her to pack me a Spray :)

Also there is nothing like Frylight over here so I pretty much roast most stuff as an alternative to frying lol.

How weird, stock isn't pointed here in Germany. Are there any free stock cubes on UK WW? I know before SW made all stock free that you were at least allowed to use Bovril.

I have all my 0 point soups on my blog, they have their own special page lol, I shall be adding a new one this weekend but so far I have: Curried Pumpkin Soup, Carrot, Celeriac and Coriander Soup, Slow Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup, Lemony Courgette Soup and Pear and Pumpkin Soup. Slimming in...

Will you be saving your weeklies for it? I think it is better to have a little something that you enjoy rather than denying it and making the cravings worse. As long as you eat until you are full and not stuffed you should be able to do it every now and then. Perhaps someone will share a Naan...

oh dear Missy :( but 1.5 lbs is better than the 2 you feared earlier! Have something lowish pointed for dinner and don't worry about using the weeklies so early, I always find if I have them earlier in the week then I lose more. Hope you enjoyed the Sausage and Chips, they don't have chip...

Ouchies, hope that rib gets well soon, you're allowed a bit of comfort when that happens but now's the time to get back at it, you've done excellently before this happened. Morgenmuffel x

Awww (((Hugs))) One of the ways that I have found to bum myself right out in the past is comparing my weightlosses to other peoples, unfortunately we are all different and the rate at which we lose is going to vary. There was a girl in SW I was silently "competing" with and every time she had a...

Welcome Emma, small steps is the way to do it, as the bigger picture can be such a daunting one! Looking forward to hearing how you get on. Morgenmuffel x

Just been catching up on the thread and you sound so much more positive this morning, well done for ditching that other mood! I think keeping a diary is a great idea, as is planning meals etc. I find if I don't have a clear plan for what I am eating when then I am going to hit the danger zone...

oh dear Frumpy :( Today's a new day, so use some weeklies for yesterday and start again, you can do it :)

Thanks guys, I have done a belated loser dance this morning. :D

Okay, I lost 700 grams this week, which I am a little disappointed as when I was ill for 3 days I was well under my points, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I can't be too disappointed as I got my 5% award tonight and I am half a pount under 20 stone!!! Whooop whooop, finally busted the barrier!

Sounds a good amount to aim for, I reckon we can do it :)

700 grams for me tonight, so just off half target halfway through the month :) Nomes - 3lbs Goose - 4lbs (lost 2.5lb, 1.5lb to go) Kerry - 5lbs jrabbit81 - 12.5lb azwethinkweiz - 2lb (+2lb, -3lb, 1lb to go) Becktoria79 - 3.5lbs Holliexx - 5lbs Jackieb68 - 5lbs (2lbs lost, 3lbs to go)...

Well done Gail, great loss! And a good gain for you Ashclow, god knows how much I'd manage to gain in 10 weeks :D I lost 700 grams this week which is just over a pound and a half, considering I was ill for 3 days and was under points by half on those days I was hoping for a bigger loss lol...

I checked flights from Stuttgart to Manchester just in case there was some mega deal, but as I guessed it's a little over my price range for next weekend lol. Have a great time on my behalf though. I was soooo good at today's food thingy. I had a salad wrap, a small mexican bready pasty, and...

Well done :)

Totally agree with Smirnoff about portions, initially I was hungry with WW because my portions, especially pasta, with SW were way too big. A couple of weeks in I didn't have the hunger as much and now I am fine. I like to fill up on zero point soups and lots of free veggies on the side, and I...

Good luck Helen, not that you'll need much with a brilliant attitude like that, and you've done so amazingly already. It is so much easier when your partner is on board too as you can support and motivate each other along the way. Morgenmuffel x

Feeling a little better today, thanks for the well wishes. Well done Carly on the new low, that is awesome, bet you're still beaming :) Galaxy Girl ((((hugs)))) sounds like you've had a bad week, I have had those weeks before where I know I am missing a meeting and so I pretend the week...

lol, it seems the 201st person just got a stinking cold instead, boo me :(

Well done Missy!

Hrmm scales are up this morning (boo) but I can fit into one of my smaller tops (yay)

We don't have simply filling over here at all yet. Is it basically the same as Slimming World? As I was an SW girl for 3 years and now I have tried pro-points I couldn't imagine going back as I find it fits in better with real life, well my real life anyways.

Nah not corny, but inspirational! And I'm totally with you on that crying at success stories thing, I also cry at all proposals of marriage, no matter how crap they are or if I know the person lol. Morgenmuffel x

It is Celery root I think, it looks a bit like a turnip, if you don't like the taste of celery you could replace it with swede or parsnips I reckon. Bless you for you fish kindness, I think that extra slice of pizza was a free food after that! Morgenmuffel x

Thanks Goose :)

LMAO

Eeep, how have you managed that? Are you sure it's not just sleeping?

Well done on all the losses tonight, fab stuff :)

I am not sure if this will be of any help whatsoever, but last night in my group in Germany, at the end the leader brought out a poster type thing which was a bit like an advent calender but with only four doors, big doors at that. She pulled the first one off and underneath it said "enjoying...

Okay I have updated my blog, the soup pic is about three-quarters through the posting and the Recipe is on the Zero Point Soups page hopefully you'll like it if you try it :)

I am always so much better when I plan out my meals in advance! I have even made tomorrow evenings Kidney Bean Curry this afternoon as it tastes so much nicer when the flavour has had a day to develop :)

Fantastic news, i knew you could do it Mrs Doom-and-Gloom earlier :D

I have just had a bowl of Carrot, Celeriac and Coriander soup that i made over the weekend, very yummy and 0 Points. Will be popping a photo on my blog later if you want to have a look, I'll let you know when it's there :)

Gosh that sounds so good to me right now :D

2.5lbs in a few weeks is not so bad, I once put on 7lbs in one week! I bet most of it will be water bloating and you'll have no problem reaching that goal of having it gone by next week. Here's to a new start :) Welcome Frumpy Mummy, fab losses so far well done :)

I am, especially as last week was such a disappointment.

Don't be sad! re-read that first word you wrote! Lost! That is what it is all about no matter how small :) Morgenmuffel x

Rudeness sucks :( And I bet you didn't get to enjoy the chocs properly either because you were thinking about weigh in the whole time. Just make sure you don't let it bum you out, get back to pointing and I'm sure you'll see a loss :)

Oh very jealous of your Amsterdam trip, one of my fave cities and not just for the "coffee shops" ;)

I wish today was weigh in day for me, my home scales are showing a magnificent low... I almost wish I hadn't got on them as now I have really high hopes for Monday!

Fab news, well done. I think you need to teach us all the loser dance :bunnydance:

Well done Lisa every loss is a gain :D

Hi Becca, well done on a great weigh in :)

Some great losses so far, and well done Jackie on reaching goal fab news :D

Is anyone else on Twitter? Might be another good way to keep us all motivated?

Welcome Goose and congrats on the latest mile(under)stone :D

Welcome galaxy-girl and good luck :)

Good Luck Suzy75 :)

Meh worse than I had feared 1.2 kilos on, but our leader was getting married today so it was a different lady I am not sure if that means it was different scales. My BF stayed the same and he was expecting about a kilo loss from what he weighed on our scales compared to last week, so I suppose...

You might get a better loss in your second week, our bodies don't work on seven day cycles. If you continue to lose a pound a week you'll be nearly at target by this time next year, which may be slower than you'd like but think about how great you'll look by next Halloween :)

Oh yeah I meant I had saved all 49 points for the dinner party on Friday but am not sure if even then it wasn't enough points to cover the cheese and bread-fest lol. I am not sure how much you have left to lose but here in Germany the weekly points decrease just like the dailies do so someone...

Well done on a loss all the same :) I used to own some scales like that, I'd get on and see a nice weight while fully clothed, get off, get naked and then gain 2 pounds... stupid scales! I am waiting for the official weigh in this evening, but the home scales are showing a gain which is very...

Hi there, First of all congrats on the amazing losses you've had so far! This challenge sounds perfect for me. I started at 23 stone 9lbs and although I did get under 20 stone for about 3 weeks I have been stuck for more than a year trying to break whatever psychological barrier seems to be...

I want people to make judgements about me because of who I am and not the second they see me because I am fat.

Thank you both :) Some times I think it' best not to talk to me before noon :p

I'll drink to that! *raises Diet Coke* My boyfriend is German and speaks perfect English, I am English and speak no German so made the logical choice to move over there lol. I am loving it so far even though I have no idea what anyone is saying half the time, but it is good to be challenged :D

Fantastic loss, I'm right chuffed for you too :) Morgenmuffel x

Thank you, like you I have finally found myself back in the zone, I lost 3 stones already which I have managed to keep off but I just couldn't get below for about a year so it is very pleasing to see the numbers heading back down again :) Even though you have to watch what you eat on treat day...

Hi there Gail, First of all ((cuddles)) and now for some tips. Being in the right frame of mind is a huge thing, which unfortunately we can't bottle, but you can write down how you're feeling and why you want to achieve it to look at on the days you might be prone to a wobble. Planning...

Well done Chezzabell81! I lost 800 grams which is about 1.75 lbs

It's great that you've got straight back on it, don't feel guilty about what you ate over the weekend that isn't going to undo it and will only make you feel bad and I bet you weren't quite as naughty as you would have been pre-WW anyways. It is always hard when you know you'll be skipping a...

I was an SW devotee and lost 3 stone with them, but as they do not exist in Germany I joined WeightWatchers and so far I am actually preferring it, especially as there are plenty of new yummy local things for me to try and they fit in much more nicely with pointing. I have retained some of my...

It's funny how a pound feels a lot heavier if it goes on compared to if it comes off, but the main thing to remember is that it has come off and that you have made a commitment to change.

I joined Weightwatchers here in Germany a couple of weeks ago and had my first weigh in last night as it was a bank holiday last Monday, I am pleased to say that I have lost 3.9 kilos (about 8.5 lbs). As I don't speak German very well yet I thought I'd join an English speaking community to help...
