    ProPoints Determined to do it diary!!

    Hi and thanks! I could try but it makes it seem too much like slimming world to me and I'm rubbish with portion control. Might be an idea to break it up a bit though. So my day sucked... I went for a morning WI and put on a pound! I don't really know how as I'd stuck to it, and only had...

    ProPoints Hannah's not sure what she's doing anymore...

    Ah hope you feel better soon, sounds rough. I was just asking about the yoghurt as I use the yeo valley 0% big pot ones but they're 9pp a tub, and there's no way I could have 1pp of yoghurt as you do, I always have about 3pp! Which is why I questioned if you ate WW ones which are 1pp although...

    ProPoints Determined to do it diary!!

    I've been a member of WW for a few months, but haven't often been following it. I started a vlcd around 6 weeks ago but couldn't continue as I suffer with migraines and it made them massively worse. Absolutely gutted as I'm getting married in 12 weeks so I'm now focused on WW to do what I can...

    Thinking of switching from s/world

    The thing that annoyed me with slimming world was their food abuse thing. Like deciding a few years ago that yes lasagne sheets are free but not if you are baking them into crisps! Or yes a certain bean is free but not if you are making it into a tortilla for lunch! I don't like being told how...

    Well done on your loss! I've lurked on here as I love your 'real' food choices - gosh you must have a well stocked kitchen though as it's so varied! When you have yoghurt and cereal bars, are you having WW ones?

    Thanks, yes I think that's it. I like having a bar for when I need to eat on the go, or around people (haven't told anyone I'm doing exante). I can cope with shakes too, but not meals or soups. How are you getting on? So I ended 100% yesterday (assuming my Pepsi Max doesn't count, I know...

    Bacardi breezers

    In all fairness, it can't possibly be 1pp. Imagine being able to have 49 every week. Madness! I'm sure in those daily mail pullouts for PP it said bacardi breezers were 5pp, might have been the half sugar ones though. Even 3pp sounds good tbh.
