What's on the menu tonight peeps? Need inspiring again!

hi. 2 slices of nimble = 3pp, ham (wafer thin) = 1pp, sunflower spread (not the low fat variety) = 2pp per 2 teaspoons or if using the low fat variety = 1pp per 2 teaspoons Hope this helps x

The asda crispbreads are 1pp for 2 crispbreads xx

Most of them come out at 2 or 3above... The most common ones at 3pp are: Kelloggs frosties Tesco light choices McVities Apple & Sultana Alpen Strawberry & yoghurt Harvest white choc chip Jordans frusli Some that come in at 2pp are: Asda good for you banana & toffee Harvest...

I would be more inclined to go with the box... Esource is notorious for having mistakes on it!! Plus, there are two different types of chilli & wedges from weight watchers I believe... one is a frozen one and one is a fresh one. Think one is 400g and the other is 300g or something like that...

That looks perfect x

Chicken is correct so = 4 Aunt bessies yorkshire puds x 2 = 3pp potatoes are correct = 4 Parsnips correct = 4 Paxo correct = 3 Bisto correct = 3 Mint sauce up to 2 teaspoons = 0pp (then 1pp for 3 teaspoons) ww choc mousse correct = 3pp All that comes to 24pp xx

Anyone?

Ohh I love maggie dresses!

I tried on this dress (or one very similar) it's gorgeous!!!!

right, not doing too well here! Ignore that. Its: http://www.yourbridalwear.com

sorry meant to put a link in: Domain name registration & web hosting from 123-reg hope that works!

If your worried about affording a dress... do what I did. I'm having a maggie sottero dress made for me. £900 in the shops, £175 from your bridal wear!!!

Do you just bung it all in a pan together or do you fry the veg first?

I'm the same as you, have to avoid crumpets as I like it with the butter dripping!

11lbs in a month is fab and well done you for your 4lb loss this week!!! Wow!

Half a pound on for me this week :(

That sounds like a much better idea xxx

Check the ingredients, its likely to have oil in it... But otherwise you could just calculate the NV's and see how many pp it comes out as?

As long as you are sure that everything is pointed correctly then thats fine. But, you haven't factored in any snacks throughout the day? Would you be having a crunchie in order to just fill the points? If so, I'd say dont. Instead, have something a bit more healthy. Perhaps use your extra...

However you feel comfortable - i.e. taking them out of your daily or weeklies - is fine. I find that if I have weeks where I've eaten lots of junk (yet still stayed within my points) I have very poor losses, but I know others who are the complete opposite. I'd say, as long as you've pointed...

Thats only 1pp :)

Yep, am sure I will. But never mind my rubbish week - woo hoo at your fab few weeks!!! lol

I'm exactly the same! I find I actually want to stick to this one rather than feeling like I have to if you know what I mean!! I put on half a pound for the first time since starting it 3 months ago and was gutted!!

Wow that is absolutely fantastic!! Well done you!!

OK... so the dressing is definately 2pp for the whole sachet. As for the nuts, I'd say thats a bit low. I cant find points for mixed nuts per se, but individually they are 6pp for 30g so I'd say 30g of mixed quantities of the nuts (if you get what I mean) would still be 6pp HTH x

I'm pretty sure it's only 2pp for the whole pack. Can check it for you later when back at my pc (on phone at mo!) x

both lovely colour schemes! LOVE turquoise - bet thats gonna look stunning and very different with a turquoise dress xx

No, thats just for the salad. Depends on which dressing you have for points. Was it balsamic or Caesar?

Love the date!!!! I cant get enough of four weddings! Think its great! Whats your colour theme? We are having silver and orange! Groom and grooms party in dark grey suits with silver cravat and waistcoat. Bridesmaid in a silver dress. Flowers are bright orange calla lilies!

So, I notice a lot of us are here as we are losing weight in order to fit into our dresses! So thought I'd start a wedding thread! Who out of us is getting married? And When? Any pics of your dresses? I'll start us off. I'm getting married on 30th September. Have another stone to...

Could someone please let me know where my thread entitled "Thank You" has gone? Moderators...?

No, its still 0pp. WW have allowed for fruit and veg within your 29 or whatever pps you are on daily. So although the nutritional value for fruit and veg will generally come out at 1 or 2pp you just ignore it and count it as 0pp xx

Haddock & cod - you can bake it in foil as others have said, or you can steam it in a steamer (just put the fish in your steamer and cover with foil and steam for around 20 mins), this is how I do mine. With the schwartz packs, if using quorn mince, I would do it as follows: Chop your...

No but we dont have to be like that either. Enjoy your forum. I'll bow out for now. I have enough **** in my life without getting it online thanks

Really? Hardly. I've not said anything that can be construed as aggressive or in any way against you. I expressed my experience and you flamed me for it. This is the reason I haven't used forums in a while and to be honest probably now won't come back to this one.

I only said that was the case for me. Really no need to be like that. Jeez... Is the aggressive tone really necessary? I expressed my opinion, why be like that?

Ahh you just share your name with someone I used to chat with on bounty - a baby forum. Xxx

Ok. Was only trying to say that it didn't work for me. The weight loss was too fast for me. I didn't get to teach myself healthy eating habits which I have on WW. Thought we were all here to support each other? My mistake

3lbs a week is not unrealistic for your first 2-3 weeks on the diet. I lost 4lbs in my first week and again 4lbs in my second week. However, it is not sustainable. Whilst you might get the odd week where you lose 2.5 to 3lb, you will also get weeks where you only lose 0.5 or STS. Thats what...

Thank you for that!! Good to know! Claire-bear - did you/do you go on Bounty??? I'm sure I recognise your name x

Oh yeah, reckon they've made a mistake there as even the non-sugar free stuff is showing as 0.0 for the protein, carbs, fat etc??? Hmmm.... dont know what to point now... Am thinking it should be free but maybe stick a couple down just to be on the safe side! Thanks ladies x

Ahh haven't read the pocket guide in a while... Although I'll be honest I dont point fry light - same as I dont point herbs & spices x

Hi, just been on esource and ww app and its up to 40 sprays are 0pp rather than 4. Going on the basis that 1pp = 40 cals and each spray is 1 cal....

Does anyone know if the sugar free syrups at Starbucks have points? All I can find are the points values for the normal ones x

I do this too!! Its gorgeous!!! :D

175ml glass of rose = 4pp

Yep, thats how I'd point it hun xx

Can highly recommend getting the monthly pass! The strips are 2pp per 140g x

Depends which one it is hun. If its the Weight Watchers from Heinz one at 300g (in the purple pack I think) then its 5pp It is the fresh one, normal WW classic cottage pie (400g) its 9pp

3pp for the whole sachet xx

1pp per tablespoon x

A lamb rogan josh is 29 so presume a chicken one would be around 24 ish. Pilau rice is 16pp. xx

thats for a 300g tub so yep, your calcs should be right x

Did you get the blue folder? There's a little insert in there with PP values for most of the basic foods.... I dont have mine to hand at the moment but from memory its the small-ish insert. Anyway, for chicken, its 4pp for a medium sized chicken breast x

Hi. Cant find the points for the coronation one but all the other Asda GFY cottage cheese (i.e. pineapple / prawn / onion & Chive) are 2pp for quarter of the tub. Hope that helps x

Yep, just to confirm, all fruit is zero pointed as long as its eaten whole (i.e. and orange is free but if you squeeze it to make orange juice it has a point value as you lose a lot of the goodness or something!)

Had my WI this morning - Lost 2.5lbs!! Am thrilled after I STS last week! Good luck everyone! x

It was the one that makes just over a pint xx

Sounds lush! Thank u!

Thank you. I'll take 6! X

Can someone point me in the right direction fir the WW curry recipe please? Xx

Can someone help my out please? Trying to find the points for a large bottle of bulmers or magners? I'm out at le pub enjoying the sunshine and really fancy one! But the WW app is only giving me points for the light versions. Thanks in advance xxx

I tried the caramel shortcake ones and thought it tasted like cardboard! Lol but the others are lush x

As far as I'm aware it's 19pp for a normal bottle anyway! Should have saved myself £6!!!

Yeah, new bottles with new pp on. They had the old and new bottles in asda - the old bottles said 80cals per glass and the new says 75 per glass and 2pp per 125 ml glass.... Am thinking of abandoning it tho and heading to the off licence for a decent bottle! Hell, if you're gonna blow it you...

Well before having kids I was a comfortable size 12.... so I'd say that's my ideal weight. At the moment I can just about get into size 12's from Next (who always come up big on their sizing) so about another stone to lose and I'll be back to being comfortable buying a size 12 from any shop...

Whats the verdict from everyone? I have saved up all my weeklies in honour of a bbq today and thought I'd wash it all down with a bottle of Weight Watchers rose wine.... About 2 sips into my first glass and wishing I hadn't bothered!!! Its horrid! Really sweet, tastes just like a melted...

A lot bigger!!!! Like 4 times the size!

The Skinny Cow Mint double choc ice cream sticks - only 2pp per stick!!!! They are yum yum yum and feel really naughty!! Thought I'd share! :p

Just roast them without oil hun. I do mine with a bit of fry light. Basically par-boil as you normally would, then I spray a roasting tray with fry light, put the par boiled pots on, give them another few sprays and roast for about 40 minutes. xx

as long as you are sure you have put the values/weights in correctly then go with the calculator. Esource is a pile of poop most of the time!!

If its 125g cooked weight of brown rice then that would be 5pp. If its 125g dried weight of brown rice its 13pp

Oh and turkey chilli. The schwartz packets are only 2pp per half pack, make it with turkey instead of beef, skip the rice but have loads of veg. Gorgeous!

I second the soups - especially BNS Soup - very filling! I also like to have a grilled chicken breast with some Levi Roots Peri Peri sauce on it, (4pp for the chicken, 2pp for the sauce) with a huge side of roasted veg (whichever veg you fancy, sprayed with frylight and sprinkled with oregano...

STS :( But I did have an indulgent weekend so only myself to blame. Back on track as from today!

yeah as above, id go for vodka and diet coke at 2pp. Wine is 4pp for a 175ml glass x

Just be careful of the WW sausages, 1pp each but 3pp for 2 sausages! Agree they are very tasty though x

The fat would be from the butter. The mushrooms themselves are zero pointed.

I get bloated when I eat pasta or bread, plus if I dont drink enough water one day I wake up really bloated the next day for some strange reason!!! Oh and the obvious TOTM!!!

I think you'd be on 29. Im on 29 and my start weight was 12st 7lbs, and I'm 5ft 2 so similar to you. You might want to repost this in in the queries section though hun as this is the recipes section and doesn't get as many visitors xx

thought it strange that all the others were 5! Grrrrr it does annoy me all these misprints!!!

Noodles are best - chow mein is I think 9pp for a portion. Or maybe say something with chicken and some noodles? I'd avoid anything with red meat (high in pp) and definately avoid rice!

Just re-read book to double check that.... Strawberry fruit corner = 2 Red Cherry, blueberry, or blackberry fruit corner = 5 Bit strange how strawberry is so much lower than the others! Wondering if its a misprint - do you have the NVs?

Muller rice = 6 Muller corner (strawberry) = 2 (quite surprised at that!)

Or any of the fish dishes - the salmon one at the start of the fish menu looks the best. But as PP said, pasta dishes in a tomato based sauce are usually around 16. Round up to 20 if it has meat in it. Thats my usual rule of thumb with italian and its always worked well for me. For the fish...

It is hard to make the conversion - you have to try and stop yourself thinking along the lines of the old ww plan and totally embrace the new one as a whole new way of thinking when it comes to food. I've found with the pp plan that basically, carbs are to be strictly limited and protein is the...

yep, its 4 xx

I always prefer rice, i find it fills me up for longer - pasta always bloats me out too :(

Hi and welcome! OK, lets see if we can point this for you.... The book says that thai spring rolls are 4pp each. I dont know if that means the mini ones or not though. Yellow veg curry - Not in book but a green veg curry is 12pp so I'd go with that. With the rice - was it just plain fried...

I find this with esource sometimes, its so annoying!! Wish WW would sort out these "bugs"

1 sachet is 2pp hun x

Per slice I believe x

Flavoured dairy ice cream comes in at 4pp per 60g scoop. Hope this helps xx

I would prob go for something like the PENNE MEDITERRANEA which i would point at about 17 or ORATA AL FORNO or SALMONE AI GAMBERETTI both of which I'd point between 17 and 20 xx

5pp hth x

A whopping 17 points for the burger and 7 for the fries!!!

thats what I do x

I love the chicken noodle one but always have to have 2 tins as 1 is never enough! Don't mind the tomato one but it's certainly no Heinz!

Yes it's 3 x

I think it's 3. I will double check and let u know x

Ohh sounds yum! I'm gonna try that next week - been getting a bit fed up with BNS soup! X

Honestly, you dont need to be a good cook to make it work for you - and you dont havve to rely on the ww products either - for example, schwartz casserole mixes are great - 4pp for a whole sachet of the sausage casserole mix or the chilli mix (so if you are dividing it between 2 of you only...

Spot on ;)

No the salad bowls would be a lot less. 4 or 5 max. 7 is for the actual subs. Today am out shopping and taking kids to mcdonalds so am gonna have a grilled chicken and bacon salad for 4pp!

LOL - very tempting to eat a lot of bananas to fill up but please be careful as they are very high in potassium! xx

ohhh lovely! Might have that as my friday night treat!!

Yes, parsnip peas sweetcorn and beans also have points Parsnip = 2pp for a medium parsnip (90g weight) Peas / sweetcorn = 2pp per 80g weight Beans (i.e. butter/cannelli etc) = 1pp per 35g weight as far as I am aware all other veg is free All fresh fruit is free - some tinned varieties have...

Yum!!!! What recipe do you use for the prawns?

I would be a bit careful with the sauces, not sure of points value. If your unsure of using jerk spice because of spicyness then nandos do a piri piri rub and the sell it in mild medium or hot strengths x

OK, so depending on what sized portion of the oats you had depends on the points. 30g of oats is 3pp. 180 ml of skim milk is 2pp. Not sure of the values you've given as need to know the nvs for 100g and then what the portion size is, but ASDA cream of tomato soup is 7pp. Ryvita = 1pp. WW...

Also, 15pp seems a lot for what you've eaten - which soup did you have and what portion size for porridge?? I'll see if I can work it out for you just to double check you are pointing properly xx

I have found with ww that if you try and limit your carb intake and up your proteins you will not only use less points (meaning effectively you can eat more) but also feel fuller for longer. For example, porridge is a great breakfast but will fill you up even more if you have some fruit with...

Cant find the iceland one on esource but most breaded chicken breasts are coming out at 6 so I'd say 6 for the chicken, 3 for the pitta and 2 for the corn on the cob so 11 pp in total x

I would probably point them that way x

Yes, 2pp for 3 patties. And gravy is 2pp for 4 teaspoons (which made up gives you half a pint of gravy) xx

Jerk chicken can range from spicy mild to spicy hot. What is the recipe?

its tricky without knowing a) whats in the sausages and burgers and (b) how big they are. But on average I would guess anywhere between 3 and 6 points per burger (being from the butchers I'm guessing less crap goes in them) and about the same for the sausages. Not much help really am I? lol x

Absolute stupidity! I dont point herbs and spices no matter how much I use - its complete and utter tosh!!!!!

Oh. My. God!!!!! Well done!!!!!

Well.... Was feeling very worried about today's weigh on but turns out I lost a pound and a half!! Whoop! How's everyone else doing today?

Last night was turkey chilli with veg instead of rice, massively filling but only 9pp! Tonight is sausage casserole yum

0pp bns & red pepper soup with a ww toasted pitta for me! Yum x

Crumpets - 1 = 2pp, 2 = 5pp Peanut butter - 1 teaspoon = 2pp xx

Not on ww, to be honest i think the whole super food thing was a bit of a sw gimmick..... I get the fruity malt loaf from tesco, it a big tesco extra, but I've also seen it in Asda. Think they have only just started stocking it again as I hadn't seen it in there before a few weeks ago.

If i dont fancy fruit or if I have points to use up, I have either WW fruity malt loaf (2pp per slice) or if I fancy something sweet, either a pink and white wafer or a bag of ww choc chip cookies !

To get round this, enter the nv of the "pack", put it as the 100g nv and put the portion size as 100g. if that makes sense

OK,,, I'm confuddled..... how do you do a pasta-less pasta bake? Surely it'd just be warm sauce??!!!

I'm only going by the iPhone app, maybe it's not as up to date! Will have to spark the laptop up later and investigate the nv's xx

Are they? I could only find strawberry mullerlight on esource which was 2. Which ones are 3pm Hun? I eat loads of mullerlights... You can guarantee I've been pointing em wrong!

40g bowl of cheerios = 4pp mullerlight = 2pp xx

Just had a gorgeous turkey roast! Filled half my plate with steamed veg, a big homemade yorkie, couple of dry roast pots and some yummy turkey!! All for 12 pp

I'm thinking of making that in the week - how was it?? Tonight's offering for us was grilled pork loin steak (with schwartz pork seasoning - lush!), new pots and steamed cabbage, leek, cauli, broc & carrots! I love my veg!!!

Dry white wine = 18pp per bottle Medium white wine = 20pp per bottle Chardonnay is a medium wine I think. hth x

I was gonna say that too...! Lol. My mum is a volunteer dog walker for our local dog rescue centre - she loves it!

Me too....!

I thought it was really tasty. Did it in slow cooker so didn't taste as strong but left the meat really tender! Turkey stir fry for me tonight

:copon::copon::copon: Consider yourself slapped lol!! Hey, in all seriousness though, it was one bad day. Dont let it ruin all your hard work., As others have said, draw a line under it and start again. We cant be angels all the time xx

Today I've got homemade butternut squash and red pepper soup with a ww toasted pitta bread - delish!

Grilled chicken salad..... just without tomatoes Or garlic chicken (grill a chicken breast with crushed garlic on top) with a plate of veggies 0pp Soup with pitta bread

My yorkie mix serves 4 people and comes out at 4pp per serving.... Its basically 4oz plain flour 2 eggs 8 fl oz skim milk If I'm doing toad in the hole I use this much for 2 of us, but divide it into 3 (other half gets 2 portions, I get 1) which brings the batter out at 6pp plus the pps for...

The eating out guide is good but i find the shop book rubbish! we shop at tesco and there are next to no tesco items in the shop book!

Lots of reasons for me... mainly my wedding in september though!

Well tonight I'm having the beef & guinness stew from the ww site in honour of paddy's day! What's everyone else having tonight?

I have bolognaise with beansprouts!! I love it! Like you, I try and steer clear of pasta..... You could also have it with a jacket potato?

Lol...! I'm getting very curious as to what it is now!!!

As pudnpie said the 49 points are weekly optionals - like a buffer zone really for if you need to go over your daily points. With the dailies, its a case of use them or lose them - so for example if you only use 25 on Thursday, you dont get to carry over the remaining 5 points, they got "lost"...

You may be ok as it is just veg and stock xx

I got the values from esource rather than the calc. It says 2pm for half a pouch and 3pm for whole pouch?! Do wish ww would sort out these discrepancies

I use the blue dragon chow mein one too.... although its 2pp for HALF the pack, not for the whole pack xx

Whats in it hun? 4 days may be slightly too long. I tend to not keep things for longer than 3 days x

WOW!!!! Well done hun xxx

Thank you. Only half a pound today tho :(

For the first time since starting ww I'm not looking forward to weigh in today! Have stuck to my points but haven't been very active this week and have eaten a lot of junk! Weighed myself just now and looks like Ive put on a pound :( Will report back after my weigh in though xx Good luck...

Ohhhh..... going to try that!! Lovely!

I basically eat till I'm full... Like today, I've had all my 3 meals and snacks etc - feel like I've been munching all day! - but still have 8 points left. I'm not gonna eat for the sake of eating so I'll just lose them. I think eating for the sake of it is what got me in the mess I was in in...

Thank you xx

How did you get on??????

You might find that you have a bigger loss next week hun - perhaps where you've just been trying to get your head round things its just not clicked into place yet? I know others may disagree but for the first two weeks I didn't have any of my weekly points and I snacked purely on fruit and came...

Your weeklies are there if you need them - they are not a necessity.... so dont worry if you dont use them - I hardly ever use mine, maybe sometimes I use 10 at the weekend but thats it xx

Let us know how you got in at weigh in x

Glad you asked about the jam. I was wondering which jam was zero pointed too!

I don't point it if I have more than a bowl as it's only 1 stock cube.

Its because 1 slice of ww bread is something like 1.3 points and as there are no half points it gets rounded down. However, if you have 2 slices, it becomes 2.6 points and as thats over the halfway mark it gets rounded up. It is confusing at first but you soon get your head round it. As...

Butternut squash is Zero pointed xxxx

Ohhhh that sounds lush! Might give that a go tomorrow!!

personally i add less stock.... but suppose either way doesnt make a difference....x

the herbs and onion are free. breadcrumbs are pointed at 1pp per 2 tablespoons x

I haven't but the soup makes 3 bowls worth so I've pointed it at 1pp per serving. There's not a huge amount of sweet pot in the bag

have no idea what you are on about lol.....

Can I join too please?! My weigh in is on a tuesday morning. Have had fab losses so far but am guessing they are gonna start to slow down a bit now I'm closer to goal so will need a bit of support to stay on track! Toni xx

On a daily basis my fruit intake is: Banana and handful of berries with breakfast 2 satsumas bowl of melon sometimes a pear Sometimes I'll eat more but thats my minimum daily intake of fruit and as you can see its not had a negative affect on my losses x

Try adding a teaspoon or two of cumin to the bns soup.... makes a world of difference!!

I have 4 for breakfast - mixed fruit, greek yogurt and honey... no more than 5 for lunch as I tend to have homemade soups.... and dinner is never more than 13. The rest of the points I use for snacks or pudding after dinner

This one is lush. Spicy Mexican soup - no blending needed: 1 onion, diced 1 large courgette, cubed 1 small pack sugar snap peas, cut into bitesized pieces 1 red or green pepper diced 2 red or green chillis, de-seeded and chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 pint veg stock 1 tin chopped...

Well you can guess what we are having tomorrow!!! Pushed the boat out tonight, had fillet steak, home made oven chips and grilled portabello mushrooms

No probs...,.. Here;'s the mexican soup: 1 onion, diced 1 large courgette, cubed 1 small pack sugar snap peas, cut into bitesized pieces 1 red or green pepper diced 2 red or green chillis, de-seeded and chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 pint veg stock 1 tin chopped tomatoes 1 teaspoon cumin 1...

Do you have access to esource? If not, I can look up the values for you and cut and paste the soup recipies x

I've done the pork lasagne from the seriously satisfying book which was lush! The meatball pasta bake was really nice too but very small portion for the points.

I'm not a veggie but I dont actually eat much meat so a lot of our dinners are veggie friendly... Breakfast for me tends to be mixed fruit with 0% greek yoghurt and honey. Lunch, I tend to have low or zero pointed home made soups - butternut Squash, red pepper and sweet potato is lush, as is...

0pp soup is a life saver for me!!! Plus I've really cut down on my carbs, dont have bread really at all now, the occasional pitta bread but thats all and I avoid pasta like the plague too! But funnily enough I dont really miss it - I hate the bloated full feeling I get after eating pasta!

Well Done!! Sometimes it can take a little while to get your head round it but glad its all clicked into place for you! Here's to a fab new you!!!

Ohhhh that sounds lush! Hadn't realised the chicken tonight jars were so low in points!

Well done!!!!! Feels great doesn't it!!

Yep

Chicken shashlik is probably your best bet at 9pp and it usually comes with salad. Or a tandori mixed grill is 11pp. I avoid rice like the plague at indians - a portion of plain rice is 12pp!!!! A popadom is 4pp

what else do you have in?

if it says 100g ovenbaked then that would mean cooked weight i expect

I know you are eating 3 meals a day but from that diary it looks like you are (a) eating mainly ready meals and (b) nit having anything in-between meals. Plus there's a distinct lack of fruit and veg. Have you tried maybe having a lower point lunch of say soup and a pitta and then using the...

Just look at the picture Brightonrosie has on her signature and know that the chocolate you eat is going to turn into that fat - that should be enough to put you off lol !!!! Draw a line under the day, start afresh and just keep reminding yourself why you are doing this xx

aabbii - if you post a few day's food diaries we can check it for you? xx

Hi. I've done SW in the past but never got on with it. LOVED the fact you had all the free food and could pile your plate up etc etc, but in the end that was my downfall. I just used to eat massive portions all the time, constantly be bloated etc! And I never really lost anything... The...

Whilst 2.5lbs a week is achieveable, I would say it is unrealistic.... You may lose 2.5lbs some weeks but you are not going to be able to do it every week, especially as you get closer to goal... Dont starve yourself in doing it, you will just set yourself up to fail - depriving yourself is...

Hi hun. have you tried posting on the sw forum? I personally couldnt get on with sw as i found it just gave me licence to overeat! But good luck with whatever you decide x

Is it a recipe from one of the books? That sounds gorgeous!

Garlic Pizza Bread = 10pp (i presume thats for the whole thing - not sure) Cheeseburger = 35pp (not sure if that includes the fries though so you may have to add on points for them.... Might be best to draw a line under today hun and try and start again tomorrow xx

Hi ladies.... As most of you know, I absolutely LOVE WW!! Have been really happy on this diet but I'm starting to the point where I'm getting bored with the same dinners over and over again!!!! We generally tend to have casseroles, shepherds pie, stir fry.... and thats about it!! I am in...

Ahhhh...l think I just answered my own question - esource online gives the values for a 275ml bottle and the ww app gives you values for a 330ml bottle!!! But my point still stands WW.... sync your apps!!!!!! :)

I noticed your working from your phone.... i just double checked - esource online says 3 pp for Coors light bottle but the ww app on the iphone says 4pp for Coors light bottle! I do wish WW would sync the app and esource!! I'd be more inclined to go with the online version - I find the app a...

according to esource coors light is 3pp...

As above, id go 3 patties to 2pp x

Hi and welcome!!! 4st by October??? It'll be a breeze hun!!! Pop on here whenever you a bit of motivation or help with the diet - the ladies on here are lovely!!

I'm on a roll with the points today lol !!! Esource says 2pp for a 100g serving x

Sorry if I'm being completely dumb here, but what the heck is sui mei?????

Yep, a 30g slice of roast chicken = 1pp xx

spot on.... esource puts them at 4pp each xx

Yes, I've queried this in the past too but apparently its right. Shocked me too as chicken and turkey are so low in points and they are white meats....

Beef Mince = 7pp per 125g Lamb Mince = 9pp per 140g Cant believe its not butter = 1pp per teaspoon HTH xx

Thank you all for your support!!! If it was left up to my leader I think I'd have given up in the first week but you ladies have been my saviours!!! Well, I got a response from weight watchers, they said that whilst the "official line" is that over 2lbs a week is not considered a healthy...

Weight watchers do a fruity cereal bar which is 2pp and lovely! I normally have a tub of total 0% greek yoghurt with a teaspoon of honey and chopped banana for 3pp

I never got on with SW - the "free" food was just a licence to overeat!!! And trust me, I'm an overeater!! lol I have found that i've got on really well with WW - i thought the whole counting foods etc would be a pain but i'm using the iphone app and its been my saviour - I just type in what I...

I've found that its what I use my points for that affect my losses if you see what I mean. i.e if I have a week which is pretty high in carbs (even if it does stay within my points) then my losses are slower. However, if I cut down on the carbs and "junk" (i.e. biscuits cakes crisps etc) and...

Stir fry is always a winner for me! 4pp for a chicken breast - tons of stir fry veg (baby corn, sugar snaps, red onion, pepper, mushroom, some chopped chilli, and a load of bean sprouts) done in fry light with half a pack of blue dragon stir fry sauce gives you a massive dinner for only 6pp!

Thanks girls. I've emailed ww about it. I'm not happy with her as a leader in general anyway - she made a lady cry the other week as she had put on 2lbs (bearing in mind this woman became a widow a couple of months back and is in bits!). I'm really happy with my weight loss so am gonna...

Not sure how to work it out but have put it into esource for you and its 1pp per teaspoon. Or if you use Clover lighter you get 2 teaspoons per point.

leeks are free. As far as i know its just potato (including sweet potato), parsnip, peas and sweetcorn you have to point xx

personally I'd go for the salmon, gammon (but ask for it with new pots not chips) or the steak (again without chips)

Just lately I've been having a slice of weight watchers fruity malt loaf with a spread of low fat butter as my "elevenses" - delicious!! And only 2pp per slice (plus 1pp for the butter)

So, went to my meeting today and have lost another 2.5lbs!! Plus reached my 10% goal! Was feeling pretty darned chuffed with myself till my leader told me off in front of the whole group for..... get this..... losing my weight too quickly!!![/B][/B] I cant believe it!! Apparently on average...

A bottle of red wine is usually 19 points so if you divide that by 8 it comes out at 2.375 so to be on the safe side say 3 pp xx

That's a great feelin isn't it!

Trying on and comfortably fitting into, a size 14 Maggie Sottero wedding dress!!!! What an incentive to keep going till I get into the size 12!! xx

Just checked on esource about this and fry light doesn't attract points until you reach 20 sprays and soy sauce doesn't attract points till you get to 3 tablespoons Hun so you have 2 spare points!!

Thank you for all your lovely comments everyone! I started from a 16 (verging on 18). Before having my kids I was always a happy size 12 but guess I just let myself go! Just over a stone to go and lots of toning up and I should hopefully get back into my 12's!!

I thought I recognised you! I must have seen you around - I live in flitwick!!!!!

Thanks! Loopeylou - Where in bedfordshire are you from hun? I'm a beds lass too!

DOnt see why not hun - I have stir fry twice a week!

Lush!!!! Sorry only just managed to look up the supernoodles - 7pm for half a pack! Eek!! When I do a stir fry I have loads of beansprouts instead of noodles as they are free!!! Means I get to have massive dinner for about 6 pp!!!

Thanks everyone!!! Yes, I felt like a million dollars!!! I'm now more sure than ever that I will have my dream of getting married in a size 12 wedding dress!!! And to top it off, managed to lose another 1.5lbs at weigh in today DESPITE having a bit of a naughty one at the weekend!!! Whoop! :D

Not sure about supernoodles - will see if I can work it out for ya... But for stirfry, I either do soy sauce and garlic as above poster or the blue dragon stir fry sachets are only 2pp for 1/2 a pack xx

Went to try on a wedding dress today for my wedding in september... They only had a size 14 in the style I liked so I thought, go on, i'll give it go.... Not only did it fit - It looked AMAZING!!! My mum and bridesmaid were both in tears and I didnt want to take it off!!! I have...

Been on Propoints for 7 weeks now and have lost 17lbs!!!! Thats exactly half the amount I need to lose to get to my goal weight! Am thrilled!!!

Normally itd be 6pp per slice but with reduced fat cheese and without bacon maybe 5pp per slice? thats for a medium

Great Idea - Could one of the moderators make this a sticky?????

Yeah, thats what I'd do.... I probably would point it at about 13 points to be safe x

Depends on what the dinner is I think hun - what are you having? I'll see if I can esource it for ya x

40g F&F = 4pp 1/4 pnt skim milk = 1pp

4pp for an average chicken breast x

The one time I dipped into my weeklies, I only lost 0.5lbs! The rest of the time I've been very happy with my losses (and the diet for that matter) using only my dailies. I did slip up a bit yesterday and ended up having about 35 points for the day so have slightly dipped into weeklies this...

Yes, you can do monthly pass with propoints but as pp said, you dont get the books. You do get vouchers every month though and the offer of £12.99 for your first month and £19.99 thereafter is still on. Plus if you have the iphone, by joining monthly pass you can get the full version iphone app

Good luck all...! Irene - 4 lb Cosmic Star - 7lb yummymummy 75 - 3lbs to reach goal Nicola85 - 14lb Becki - 8lb Rednicola -7lb k4c3y - 5lb xjacqui37x - 7lb Leighforty -4lb ErinW - 7lb NeedsMotivation - 7lb Smirky 4lbs Tonic - 8lb

I'm in! Stick me down for 8lbs please xxx

How Random!!! :rolleyes: LOL

It is very frustrating isn't it.... The worst bit is, our leader never said anything to us in meetings or when I joined so it was only after doing it for a few weeks I found this out!!!! So frustrating!!!!!

Chow mein is your best bet by far - 9pp for a special chow mein! Other values are: Singapore vermicelli - 14pp Chicken & Cashews - 9pp Chicken & Mushroom - 8pp Mushroom Chow mein - 6pp Roast pork cantonese style - 10pp beef in black bean - 12pp Egg fried rice 0 16pp Plain boiled rice - 12pp...

Thank you xx

Any idea on points? I opted for roast chicken and salad on granary. Said no to butter but had a thin spread of low fat Mayo (I double checked, they said was Helmans light).

Hi ladies. Am out and about today shopping. Basically the only choice I have for lunch is the sandwich bar.... What do you reckon my best option would be? I don't normally eat sandwiches so not sure! Am thinking chicken or ham salad sarnie on brown? Any idea on points? Ta x

Hun, you really shouldn't be hungry all the time on this diet.... The idea is to cut down the carbs (which will leave you feeling hungry a short time after eating them) and up the protein - keeping you fuller for longer. Fruit is completely "free" so you can snack on that..... Honestly, in 6...

Just read your first post again and see that you are 5 days in.... On my first week I was convinced I hadn't lost anything... got on the scales and had lost 4lbs....
