is there any points value you can give me to pointing potatos?
ie does 100g of potato equal 1pt for example?
Im thinking of getting a big spud (reckon about 400g) and cutting it into fat skin-on chips and cooking it with fry light in the oven.
thanks guys
Does anyone know how many points are in the flavoured chicken thighs you get from the hot chicken rotisserie thing in Asda.
For example, the Chinese chicken thighs.
I tend to eat the skin as well...:(
I've pointed them at 4.5, but I reckon that might be a bit of a conservative guess
Has anyone got any good tips on this, or has anyone done this sucessfully?
I plan to go stright from sole source to either weight watchers or slimming world with no gap between, so ireckon its inevitable that there will be a weight gain at my first weigh in...:sigh:
thanks Nilo
I know when you join weight watchers you get a cardboard calcualtor thingy free in your induction pack.
Is this not the case with SW? Is there only an online one?
Im thinking of starting SW (but also have WW in mind aswell,, cant make up my mind).
Just wanted to ask, is there a syns calculator with SW, like there is with weight watchers?
Either a cardboard or online one?
Can i just say that 1.5 lbs is not bad going for eating for 4 days.
These are usally the danger zone days when ur body acts most like a sponge to normal food and drink.
Now sorry to ask this (off topic) but i am just this very moment looking for a hotel for an overnight stay in Gatwick before...

I remember when I started uni, and it was the very first day and we were all registering and getting into the correct tutor group and introducing ourselves to each other (we were all , new young things, nervous and trying to make a good first impression on each other). I had really made the...
Hi there.
Dont worry too much. I had this exact same scenario about a month ago. I called my cllr and asked her waht to do and she said that if needs be it is ok to go up to 48hrs on this diet without foodpacks (and obviously no real food allowed) .
so longs as you can stick this it...
Im sorry if this question has asked a million times already, but i can't finnd the info .

I had been in the binge/lie cycle (to riends and family). Not anymore.
The moment u wake u tommorrow morning, siginfies the...
Snap Clucks!
every week I have been on LL (i did 15 weeks and am switching to CD this week), without fail the results have been in the purple section of the ketostixx.
I drink without fail 4-6 littres a day.
My LLC always tells me to drink more water, i do but nothing..
Though...
funny you say that, as I feel exactly tthe smae way.
I have been fat all my life so only remeber having fat legs. Coincidently my mother used to refer to my legs as pig trotters if i ever wore a skirt. Nice
Even though I have lost over 5 stone already, and I can see it coming off my face and...
Thanks Clucks
Im quite excited know.
Like I said, even though the 2 diets are very similar, this 'change' is going to give me something to be enthusiastic about so I think it will spur me on.
Cheers gals:)
Meant to say Milkyway bars in my last question.
I would love it if there are CD bars that taste the smae/similar to these!
Also thanks to the Serendipity and Bekie , Archantgirl and fuzzy angel for taking the time to answer my question.
This is a real support network and I love it:)

Am a bit concerned as have quite LL as of Tuesday gone and am joining Cambridge on Friday. Just finished LL foundation but it was too expensive for me and I know Cambridge is half the price.
Looking forward to it and think the change will give me extra omph to keep me going.
However I just...
Oh, you little tease AJ:p !
U have wet my appetite now.
Seriously though, thanks for doing that for me.
I was just looking on the 'success stories thread' and in the 2 most recent pics you have posted on there, in the before u look so 'mumsy' (i dont know if thats the right way to...
Hi AJ
In the style of a Holywood lovey 'Loving your work!':)
I truly am though, im always eager to see the next instalment in your diary. Gives me hope that there is an end to this dit and there is food to be had (in a sensible way)at the end of the weight loss journey (even though u can...
I though that having the advantage of youth being on my side might help me with loose skin on my stomach, but apparently not!
My Stomach looks like a big splodge or dough that has been well kneaded and is ready for the oven!
Welcome!
I felt like you just before i started the diet in January. I was just wishing xmas away cos I couldnt wait to start and loose weight. Rapidly!
Check in on a daily basis. This site has got so many good tiips and advice and genral support.
Good luck lovely.
Wow Mindless you have transitioned through 3 different stone brackets in 2 weeks. Thats amazing. Your an inspiration to all us newbies.
Tell me, have you ever lost this much before on previous diets?
Well done:)

I have thought about this aswell. I have heard that you get photgraphed and final weigh of foundation on week 13. Why not 14? It could make a big difference?:confused:
Can i share a good tip
Aftet reading Mikes blog, I have purchased the Kenwood Frothie Maker.
It makes hot and cold drinks. I put my soups in there with all the water and close the lid and it mixes it and heats it up to exactly the right tempreture (it doesn't boil so u dont have to worry...

What i did, (and I thnik this has helped me loose so much in one go), is drink 6 littres+ of water a day. My leader has told me this would have helped a lot.
Im having bottles and bottles of fizzy water and room temp still water and its going down easily.:)
Thought I would share my good news
Just popping in to say hi and to share my news .
I had my first weeks weigh in last night and I had lost 1stone and 3 quaters of a pound!
I was soooo chuffed.:)
As well as being on here to boast , I want to show other newbies that you can loose a lot of...
Just wanted to know
I love this site, its so inspiring. I have been reading on here all morning. One thing i'd like to know (sorry its a boring practical question), are the shaker/beaker containers given to you by LL for mixing up shakes, dishwasher safe?
Thanks Pix
I can totaly understand what your saying, i suppose there are reasons like your why people have to stop and re-join.
I was concerned that people we dropping out cos the diet was so difficult.
Thanks for taking time to reply.

Thanks for the pics.
They are an inspiration, they really are.
I supsoe I was just concerned about the rate of people leaving the diet before they reach their goal. I did ask my LL leader about stats on success rate etc, but she said she didnt have any:confused:
Anyways, thanks for taking...
Great forum. I do have a concern though and please dont think im trying to bring negativity to the site. I've read through quite a lot of posts on this particular conversation and quite a few of the people popping in to say hi say they are returning memebers of LL. There are more than I expected...
