I use the value diary too. I signed up to WW for the 3 month trial then decided I didn't want to pay £12 a month for it then found this app which for £2.49 (and £2.99 a year so I can back up for my iPad too) it was amazing value for money! Just curious though, why would you need the pp...

Google bbc good food tuna pasta bake, it is THE tastiest pasta bake ever! I get about 5 ish portions to freeze when I make it to the recipe but you need a massive dish to make it. Not sure of pp as I've not made it for a few months with a new (well, 4 month old now) baby but if you use half...

Also, what happens if you plateau? You can't drop say half of your weeklies or go on less daily points because you're on the lowest possible. A healthy weight loss of 2lbs a week is what weight watchers and the medical community say is healthy and imo you're setting yourself up for failure or...

I eat all my dailies (35 at the moment) and weeklies, I'm losing on average of 2 lbs a week which is slower than if I ate 26 points a day but weight watchers is meant to be a healthy lifestyle change not a quick way to lose weight. I'd rather lose weight healthily, be happy and get to eat...

I thought the same ununpentium so don't worry you didn't sound judgemental at all :) Ooh I'm excited for this now, I'm not looking forward to Christmas as much this year coz I go back to work off maternity leave at the start of January lol so it'll be like my last hurrah but I can't wait to...

I'm in for this one! 10 week challenge is looking good for me so I'll do this one too. I want to get to 13 stone by Xmas so I need to lose 34lbs so please add me onto the list as I can't do it from the app! :)

2lbs off for me!!! Yay :D

Hey everyone, I don't have the eat out book as I rarely eat out but had a last minute Chinese tonight. I've put aside the rest of my 29 weeklies for it but this just seems a bit much when half of my plate was (albeit fried) veggies. I had stewed mushrooms in some black sort of stock sauce...

Thank you white pigeon! I feel much better now :) good luck getting to 12! It doesn't help with me that I was on the pine end of size 18 when I started WW again 19lbs ago!

That's great we'll done! I only joined this forum about 6 weeks ago, I love it everyone is so friendly and welcoming, good luck on your weight loss journey x

That's strange isn't it, you've done well to lose weight with that problem! Soda bread does it for me, shame as I love it!

Dairy milk 360g (the MASSIVE bar) comes down to £2 from £3.50 in tesco quite often, it seems annoying paying more for a punnet of nice strawberries than a huge bar of good quality chocolate

Yeah that's right, I think! I wanted to get to 15 stone dead on by the end of the 10 weeks and I'm just under 15 8 now so yeah that's right :) have you weighed today after your holiday? I didn't notice any posts from you but I've not been on here as much recently xx

It was on in the background while I was sorting through my old (slimmer!) clothes and chucking some out into charity bins but I'll iPlayer it later to watch it properly. Very shocked by what the old WW guy said! Personally I do believe if a diet fails (proper ones like WW anyway) it is the...

3lbs lost today! I did say I was going to go easy on the weeklies this week but I ate them all and still lost 3lbs, I'm so happy :) so that's 6lbs overall now for the challenge!

Yep I'm still size 18 and I'm 15 stone 8! I'm tall so you think I'd be more slender but nevermind

Yeah I subscribe online but am cancelling it after my free trial next month, I can do it myself without spending £12 a month! Good luck :)

Same as money isn't it, we can spend it a lot quicker than we earn it! 2 lb should come off in a week, I'm hoping to chill with the weeklies this week and have lost around 3 lbs next week!

Haha umm...well done?! As long as you enjoyed yourself and 2lb isn't too bad! Ah Rhyl. Never been there myself as I live down south :) glad you had a nice time! And thanks for the future advice fruitandcoffee lol x

Haha all that hot chocolate would be amazing! I lost quarter of a pound today which I'm really pleased with! Where in Wales are you Serena? On another note if anyone is considering making a PPI complaint then do it, I made a complaint a few weeks ago because the saleswoman was mega pushy with...

Not been on here for a few days I spent the last few days at my parents who live 60 miles away in west Wales so I didn't bother sticking to plan, I ate ok but did enjoy a few chocolate treats and I probably ate more than I should. I weighed earlier to see what it was like and I'm the same as...

I've eaten the skin before when I missed bits, it feels like when you lose a bit of egg shell in the bowl when making scrambled egg, a really weird and not nice tough crispy feeling! So eating the skin is not for me lol I found a really good video on YouTube about making BNS chips which I...

Well done! I've been ok today actually I've not thought about smoking much, yesterday was a real test for me coz I did my A&E volunteering and I always smoke when I'm driving but I didn't let myself stop to buy any thankfully so I should be ok but if I fall off the wagon I'll buy an ecig :) You...

Better to strive for something attainable rather than something you may not be able to reach, especially when it comes to something is women are already sensitive about! Well done on your loss Serena :) I'm trying to quit smoking and today is my second day with no cigarettes, not easy but I'm...

Yay 2.5 lbs off for me!!! So happy :)

Blonn-de, my suggestion is not to buy any clothes in a bigger size, I am getting rid of all my clothes when they (hopefully!) get too big on me and I will make sure I don't buy any more, I'm on a major budget which helps so I really won't be able to buy bigger clothes lol

Most people wouldn't have come back from feeling too embarrassed etc but you have and that says a lot, good on you and total damage limitation for the next few days! lol x

Congrats everyone! Can't wait til tomorrow morning for my WI, good luck tomorrow also Serena!

I'm doing really well this week, can't wait til Friday morning! Well done everyone who's lost this week :) I've spent the evening going through my freezer and cupboards writing down what's in them so I can attempt to make meal plans, I'm fed up of my (two!) freezers always being full and never...

Yeah I'm the same as Serena, spread out on a baking tray, spray with fry lite then stick in the oven on 200 degrees for 25 minutes. I never thought to coat them, thanks for that idea Serena!

I use it as chips, sweet potato chips are nicer but BNS is 0 points! Or you could make a soup, not sure about using it instead of potatoes. Just to let you all know I was in asda today around 10:30am and there was a lot of reduced stuff like veg and bread products. Not hugely reduced but I got...

I had a baguette today with home made egg mayo for dinner, it was lovely but I doubt I'll make it again. With a spread of butter it was 22 propoints!!! Thank god I had some weeklies left!

Hey everyone, can I join your group please! I'm 15 st 13.5 lbs so am now on my way down to the 14's after starting in the 16's to 15's, hopefully I'll get to the 14's in 9 weeks or so :)

I got into the 15's on Friday morning, only just lol I'm 15 st 13.5 lbs, on my way to 14's now, good luck everyone!

Wow what a difference, well done!

The way I look at it is the longer you put it off the more you'll put on! That's the case with me anyway lol, good luck Rosie x

Had you thought about taking food to work with you? By the sound if it you don't currently. Make something the night before like pasta with roasted veg and fat free dressing, or rice with something or if you make spag bol the night before and make double and take the other half the next day? I...

Hahaha that is so funny, thanks for sharing!

Just to let you know my staple mcd's foods, 9 nuggets are 11pp, sweet & sour sauce is 1pp per pot and an ice cream cone without the flake is 4pp :)

Hiya Dan Thanks for replying, just checked after reading your post and mine doesn't ask for serving size etc at all, I must have bought an older propoints one :( oh well I'll have to get by using this one!! Lyndsey

You'll probably be the only reader lol xx

Well I don't like courgettes (yeuch!!!) but the rest are lovely, what a great price I'll have to invest in the next few days, thanks Serena :) Lyndsey x

I bought a PP calculator from eBay the other day and I've been playing with it since. I've decided to cancel my online WW subscription after my 3 month trial thing, I have the kitchen scales and now the calculator so I figure I'll be paying £12 a month to basically tell the app my weight each...

I'll have to start one when I get chance :) xx

Ah glad I could help! Good ol' eBay is brilliant for batteries and they're duracell for that price too

Careful you don't end up spending more on fuel! What are Aldi's super 6 and how much are they?

I live in Abertillery in the valleys but I'm from Carmarthen area, I've lived here for four years. Dw i'n hoffi bod yn nghymraig!

Hey Bobbie I live in Abertillery! Small world :) I'm originally from Carmarthen way but have lived here almost four years now :)

Ooh I don't think I could wait all that time, a week is long enough to weigh in lol, well done Serena :)

It's to get experience for nursing Serena, I'm so excited to go! Well turns out I'm one of those people who needs to eat food to lose weight (which I shouldn't complain about!) as I only lost 1lb today! I only had 23 of my weeklies and Tuesday to yesterday I ate about 2/3rds of my daily points...

All great reasons :) What sort of things do people put into diaries? Is it a daily thing or like a 'story' one off?

Lorny, not sure what batteries your kitchen scales take but my body weighing scales take small round flat ones, I think they're CR2052 or something, if your scales take unusual batteries then get them off eBay like I do, the ones I bought recently were £1.39 for two, delivered!

Hiya. I wrote this on the other thread but I think you must have done two by mistake, this is what I said - I've got them and use them everyday, they're expensive but I find them invaluable and they can be used as normal scales when you no longer do WW I've had mine over a year and they're...

Lol good name, didn't have too good a year last did you Serena? Btw I love the name Serena it was one of my choices to name my 13 week old baby girl :)

I've got them and use them everyday, they're expensive but I find them invaluable and they can be used as normal scales when you no longer do WW :) I've had mine over a year and they're still going great on the same battery x

I thought this would be an interesting subject and might also help anyone who is struggling at the moment or in the future to come back to this thread and remind themselves of why they started this journey. Well I want to lose weight for many reasons but I will list the main ones now : 1. I...

Good luck to us (and any other Friday weighers!) tomorrow! I may not be able to post straight away as I'm starting volunteer work in an A&E department tomorrow morning but I'll let you know how I got on tomorrow afternoon probably :)

Congrats Rosie and happy birthday! Good to see some losses, hoping to get around 2lbs off myself tomorrow xx

Alipally I'm on 37 points a day too :) been off food today after my sickness and diarrhoea yesterday (sorry if anyone's eating lol). Tonight I managed 5 mini kievs (6pp) and the half tin of BBQ Heinz beans I had left in the fridge from a few days ago (4pp) so a small ish meal but simple to make...

Thanks for asking this Alana, it's something I've always wondered too but never remembered to ask!

That's the reason I'm glad I never bought a shopping guide, I only trust my WW app and nv's!

I also weigh naked first thing in the morning after peeing lol as I'm doing it from home and day before I do things like any other day. When I did WW meetings before getting pregnant last year I would eat little bits after dinner such as a pack of crisps and I'd take a snack with me to eat in...

Hiya everyone I'm joining the Friday WI club, not many of us are there! Glad I'm doing it at home so I can choose my own weigh in day. Lost 12.5lbs so far, want to get to 11 stone which is healthy for my 5'9 height so got 5 stone to go! Oh and half a pound haha, will be back Friday morning!

Yep that's definitely the best day Serena! Thanks for that I'd best keep on posting :) Wonder if I'll lose anything Friday morning or if my body will be all out of whack from my illness?! Good luck for this challenge everyone!

Haha yeah! Get to use my weeklies over the weekend then :) sorry to go off topic but do you know how many posts I have to make before I can edit my profile? It keeps saying permission denied and I hate seeing no pic there where a pic should be!

Edit : double post :)

Hey Serena, Friday is my weigh in day :) I didn't have the energy to copy and paste that chart this morning lol but I feel much better now after a good sleep last night thank goodness xx

I was going to write on here last night asking if I could join but I've had sickness and diarrhoea since about 4am! But I will still try and join, I'd like to get to 15 stone in 10 weeks and I'm 16 and 1/2 pound now so I have 14.5 lbs to lose in 10 weeks, hopefully I can manage that :) xx

Thanks Lorny, I hope you get there soon too! xx

I started on 16 13 four weeks ago, I'm now on 16 stone and half a pound so hope I'm in the 15's on my Friday morning at home weigh in!

Hi, I had a baby just over twelve weeks ago and I went from 14 stone (which I'd gotten down to through months on weight watchers before getting pregnant) and until four weeks ago I'd gone up to 16 13. So I feel your pain! People said the same to me to give it time, she's only 8 weeks old etc...

Had you thought of having your evening meal later? I have mine about 11 pm most day which is about two hours before I go to bed so I'd suggest you doing the same (unless you go to bed at 8pm ish!) As far as if you eat one thing then you binge, it's something you'll have to have willpower to...

My shopping bill is much bigger since being on ww, fruit and veg is such a rip off out of season, I can't believe a pepper costs 80p!!! I try to stick to frozen veg and tinned fruit such as pineapples and peaches but they're like £1 a tin, as a PP said you'd think they would be cheaper since...

It's difficult to say really as I was running and doing WW too but I definitely felt much fitter so I was pleased

I find it's best to eat them especially when starting out as it doesn't feel like a 'diet' at all then and if you were to plateau with your weight loss later on you've got nothing to bargain with so to speak. I always eat my dailies and weeklies and lose around 2lb a week which is healthiest

I'd say it's more like 40 myself if you have the sauce etc lol I wouldn't risk pointing it as 11 unless you don't mind a gain or STS at next weigh in!

I did it before I got pregnant last year, it's so tough isn't it! And you really feel it the next day lol but doing that combined with my running got me fit so quickly, definitely worth at least trying it for £5 :)

That's brilliant! Well done :) xx

Hiya thanks for replying! Well I'm 16 10 which is the heaviest I've ever been (I am 5'9 so it's a bit more spread out lol) and the only things that fit me were my leggings so I felt pretty miserable and refuse to buy size 20 trousers! I just weighed and lost 3.25lbs, they don't accept .25's on...

Hey all! Thought I would say hello :) I'm Lyndsey and live in South Wales, I did WW last year but then got pregnant so stopped and put the weight back on as you do! But my daughter is now 10 weeks old and I'm back on the wagon, need to lose a good 5 stone! I started two weeks ago and lost...
