Hi Paula! Well today went a bit haywire as far as plans went. Because my car is out of action, my FIL gave me a lift to the swimming pool in another village, but unexpectedly I had to get the bus back. I hadn't even got a clue where to catch it, let alone times. Anyway we got by, but I...

I know what you mean. When I'm simply trying to account for what I've eaten (when I'm not dieting) I forget so many things that I've had. If I didn't know the points value of things, I would probably do the same by the time I got around to totting them up. That's what make Core such a good...

Hi ThinLizzy I've never tried it, but I was on SW last week (for 1 week only) and this week I'm on Core. I'm not thinking of alternating at all, but I'll let you know if I lose. I don't see what harm it can do, but perhaps someone on here will think of a reason why it's not such a great...

Well done Ann, sounds like you are doing a fantastic job, especially avoiding the chocolate! :happy096:

Thanks Pixie, that's really nice of you considering what you're going through at the moment. Okay, today I've had breakfast - 2 and a half weetabix, skimmed milk, coffee lunch - 5 sesame Ryvita, x low fat philly, tomatoes dinner - Heinz Italian chicken & tomato soup, with added pasta. 2...

This is from Oldchem's website. I used to have it (hot I think) with vanilla Muller yogurt. Yummy. BANANA BREAD 200g All bran 200g Porridge oats A long dash of skim milk (sorry can’t be more specific!) 60g Sultanas/Raisins 4 Bananas 2 Eggs beaten 2 tsp Cinnamon ½ tsp Mixed Spice 1...

Well, I guess if I was Weight Watchers, I'd want to keep things as straightforward and simple as possible, or else everyone would be put off! :giggle:

In defence of the Wendie Plan, as you have said Starlight, it is really only for those who have been on a plateau for a while. It is not easy to do, but can work (I have tried it). It isn't for everyone, and you are free to make your own choice. I do not think the Wendie Plan can damage your...

At the moment I can only think of vegetable and lasagne crisps, and I used to make an All Bran cake before. Have you got a flask you could take soup in, or is that not appropriate?

Eeek! :eek: But don't worry, it can be done. I hope you enjoyed your temptations, though! Christine

Don't do it, Karenlou!! You're doing really well, don't spoil it by counting points, you'll just put doubt in your mind. Believe me, Core works, that's all you need to know! Christine

Gosh, I'm not sure about individual weeks, it's been so long! I've only just started on Wednesday, so can let you know then. I think I lost alot in the first couple of weeks last time (6lbs?). I'll have to dig out my card, if I haven't chucked it away already. Christine

Good luck Ann. I'm on Core. I've been very successful on it before, and hope to be so again this time. I hope you get on really well with it, it is very straightforward. Look forward to hearing about your losses! Christine

Thanks guys! The police are involved - I'm not on my own. Apparently this fluid is becoming hard to come by, so maybe some t****r needs it. Who knows? Anyway, as always, the appetite has come back with a vengence, so I will put down my menu for today, although it may not be over. ;)...

Hi Sapphire Your previous weight loss journey sounds like mine lol! I'm doing Core at the moment, but if I was doing points I think I'd be on 17 or 18, because I'm short, old and inactive :)) It's enough to get by! I'm doing well, although it is my first week. I'm at home, because I work...

Good luck! 18 points will be fine, just make sure you control your sweet tooth, rather than it controlling you! A big plate of stir fry was always my saviour on points (I was only on 17 a day!) Christine

Good luck! Reading your post almost brought my appetite back! Christine

Christine's daily food log - I'm having a horrible day!! I'm posting this now, because I'm so stressed and fed up. My appetite has disappeared, so good job I had breakfast before I found out what I did. Someone has leaked all the suspension fluid out of my car, so it has sunk down onto all 4...

But could the reason that WW do not point fruit on Core be that there is no option to have so many other sugars, whereas on Points you could have the whole quota on sugary stuff? If a person on Core is doing it right, they shouldn't need much fruit in between anyway, if they are filling...

Great loss, well done! Christine

Thanks! I've never tried Quorn beef, might have to give that a go. Today was a bit of a mess. Unexpected circumstances ruined my planned fry-up(!) for breakfast, so I had:- breakfast - a banana :( lunch - jacket potato with beans and salad dinner - the day was rescued by my beef stew...

Thank you for more lovely welcomes! Sarah, I'm doing it from home, as I can't get to classes, although when I lost before it was at class. I just hope that I can keep the motivation up. I've already took the opportunity to join the Wednesday weigh in! Pinkdiamond, I love your photo of the...

Oh my goodness, I've just read what he's done for you! I'm sorry, but a man like that needs to be shared around, and I get first begsies! That is so lovely!

Well done on the weight loss so far! 9 and a half definately sounds do-able by Christmas, so best of luck with that, and keep posting! Christine

Okay, good day today. breakfast - 3 turkey bacons, 1 fried egg & mushrooms (frylite) & tinned tomatoes. Coffee. lunch - Heinz refrigerated veg & 3 bean soup and 4 Krisprolls. WW yogurt & satsuma. dinner - another tuna stir fry to finish packet! ww yogurt. coffee snacks - a coffee...

Thanks Karenlou, you've made me feel so welcome already. :thankyou:

Hello everyone. I have started today, so would like to join in the Wednesday weigh ins if that's okay. Some good losses here, so I hope they rub off on me! I need to lose 2 stone, and I'm doing Core. Christine

Thanks for that. Good idea about taking them off of weekly allowance. Fortunately, I don't often use my points so that will be fine. I shall tuck into my stars now, and leap over to ask if I can join in the Wednesday weigh in thread.

Yes, an advocado is only interesting every now and then, and only with lashings of mayonnaise! I'd love to know why they changed it.

Oh no! I didn't think about pointing the milk! Ouch! I've just looked on the Mars website, and they are 67 calories and 2.5 saturated fat. Thank you!

Thanks Karenlou. It does seem silly that I can't eat them, when I've done it the old way and lost really well. Just that you've said it makes me feel better about it! Christine

Hi! Well, I'm hoping this will be a good idea to keep me on track, and I always like to read other peoples' food diarys! My first day:- breakfast - 2 Weetabix, skimmed milk lunch - big Asda chunky vegetable soup from the fridge dinner - tuna stir fry - large can with half a bag of Asda...

I was surprised to find them in stock at Asda when they were running really low a few months back. Might be worth a try if you have one near you? Christine

Thanks, everyone for your words of support! I really feel ready for this, which is half the battle, isn't it?! Thanks for the suggestions Lydia, but I'm not sure about dunking those! Christine

Hello everyone! I've been really inspired, reading through the threads on this forum, and would like to become a part of your community to keep me going. I did WW about a year and a half ago (doing Core, or No Count at the time) and got right down to my goal weight. Unfortunately, it's all...
