    What can i use my points on

    I eat quavers most days and cheese because its easy at work. As long as your within points then its not so bad but if your hungry drink plenty of water and snack on fruit as well :-)

    Do you eat your weekly/activity points?

    I don't eat them all but use them as a buffer for my weekends, so I can have that Chinese and not worry about it. I find it easier that way and to have a treat on my weigh in days to have what I've been craving so I don't ruin my hard work. But it doesn't always work for everyone

    Surprising or shocking pro-point finds....

    Fluff Marshmallow Spread 213G - Groceries - Tesco Groceries Fluff!!! Marshmallow on toast is lovely and 1 serving is 1pp!! Its 12g per serving and its more than enough, can be used in hot choc as well. American thing but Tesco do sell it so no need to pay over the odds if you can get it :)

    is it just me

    You need to make sure you spread your points out for the day and save some for after tea to snack on low point snacks! I have a hot choc and pink and white and it satisfies me. The headaches are probably from the coffee as your used to the caffiene! Drink plenty of water and it should reduce...

    Do you really need to attend meetings?

    I'm back on we after a year off and not going to classes. I can't afford to pay dd in one go each month and I'm not paying the weekly fee after they increased it! I've put on a lot of weight in a year but I've had fun so not fussed. Time to get it off so pulled out the books I got and got an app...

    Fruit ciders ?

    Cider tends to be quite high. Spirits and diet coke is the lowest option.

    Nervous.....

    As long as you're good this week thats all that counts and if you do gain next week you will have the weekend to blame :giggle: Sometimes a bad weekend can suprise you! I've had a few of those but your weigh in isnt till weds, time to pull it back!!! :D
  10. Shabba

    I need help

    Thats good advice. I cant add any more. Sometimes it takes a while for your head to get into it but writing it down and counting everything is definately the trick with me! If i dont i think "oh that wont hurt" and it does!! I lost 34lb last year and now i've gained some back because i stopped...

    What do you spend your weekly PP's on?

    I've really gone for it this week and i've not done bad. It works out at 7 points extra a day and i have used those a few days this week! But the ones i dont eat will just disappear! I do feel guilty eating them though, dunno why!

    Headaches??

    Saves your teeth not having coke as well! :) Its more than likely that giving you the headaches! I went caffeine free about a month ago and lasted nearly 3 weeks! It was great, i slept better and felt really good. Its a really addictive drug!

    thinking about joining

    I would give it a go :) I've switched back and forth a few times in the past 6 months but WW works best for me because its more structured. I dont go to class anymore but did last year and they were a great help, just wish i could afford it again!! Good luck and this site is great for help! :)

    Any Gleeks?

    This was my favorite episode of this season. BRILLIANT!! and i havent stopped tweeting about it or volume 5 either. Loser like me is on repeat at the moment. I feel like im becoming a bit of a stalker with it.... :giggle: I dont like Jesse, i still cant trust him.... (must remember its fictional!!!)

    Treat for losing weight?

    I waited. I did quite well last year with going to class but i found that eventually i needed to go buy new clothes. So i waited, patiently then went and bought a load of new things in smaller sizes :giggle: I intend to do it again later in the year!
  28. Shabba

    introducing myself properly!

    Good luck :) Work should mean your meal times are in a routine rather than being able to graze and have what you want :giggle: planning out what to have for dinner at work really helps me and not bringing money is good, means i cant buy rubbish!!

    Here i go again....

    Back to weight watchers and im hoping this time i can stick to it. I have good intentions every week and every week i go off the rails :break_diet: but i cant keep doing it. I did so well last year its a shame to pile it all back on. So im going for it, until my holiday in June at least...

    C25k app

    It depends what phone you have. I have a BB and they dont do many good ones. I downloaded miCoach by Addidas, did my workout online to what the c25k is and then pressed sync and it works with my phone and my own music! If its an iphone then there are loads of apps out there :)

    Weight loss

    I think that's a fair comment. I knew I had lost the weight after about half a stone but it wasn't until 1.5st that others noticed, mainly because I dropped a dress size and my clothes were baggy! One of our family members used to comment before I started dieting: "your looking thinner" when I...

    stuck in a rut :(

    The pasta and potatoes that you would normally have on green would either be healthy extras or synned. I used to find red days the toughest because I enjoyed the filling foods rather then all the protein
  39. Shabba

    stuck in a rut :(

    This happened to me at the back end of last year. I lost, then week 2 and 3 I sts! I was gutted but week 4 I lost again. Sometimes it just happens but don't give up! Keep doing it :)

    Red n green days?

    As above, the second A is optional but I find it helpful to use it :giggle:

    Will the Cross-Trainer kill me!

    If its a cross trainer that allows different programmes look for the aerobics one. It tells you what pace you should go at and also gets you to work your arms more. By far my favorite gym piece!!
  43. Shabba

    Still finding it hard to stick to this

    Well youi can still have them in small amounts so as long as you syn them right you know you don't need to panic. Restricting yourself will only make you crave them more!!

    STS - really upset, can you help?

    Its week 2 and you dont have much to lose so your losses will be smaller. I lost 4lb then sts for 2 weeks last time. Just carry on as you are and keep trying at it. Its only 1 week and its better than a gain! Im sure someone will look at your diary! :)

    8 hours is a long time to go without food especially if your on a healthy eating plan. The general idea is that you have meals that fill you and healthy snacks inbetween.

    NHS couch to 5k

    There are loads of apps and pod casts. Just search C25k or Couch to 5k. Its hard work but worth it.

    Jogging or not

    If you have a smart phone look in your app store for an app that let's you play your own music whilst doing the c25k! The wii fit is nothing like real life. It won't burn off half the calories it says and the best thing to do is interval training.

    Your birthday comes once a year, your 1.5lb will go on and off on and off when you enjoy yourself and then go back to plan. Unfortunately life gets in the way doesnt it? But enjoy yourself for 1 day at least! It is your day!! then go back to it.

    Tips for sleep

    with the Nytol, do you have to take them for a few days before they work? I generally have a lousy night on a Sunday and have about 3 hours sleep to get up for work Monday so im like death, id just love to sleep properly!! If they need a few days to kick in they arent worth it.

    Juicing???

    would you eat 10 though? because i wouldnt and i think thats their point. Eating whole ones will fill you up quicker
  172. Shabba

    Juicing???

    I've heard this argument loads of times in class and although iagree i do see logic in it. If you eat 1 orange you fill up slightly. If you take the same orange and juice it you will have to use more oranges than you would if you ate them. You've probably use more oranges juicing than eating.

    Myth or method?

    Some of those are ridiculous!! I do agree with the jeans though. Not to the extent that they are that heavy but i never wore them because they are heavier than the linen trousers and combats i wore! A lot of people wore leggings no matter what weather because they are light :)

    Which Plan is the most popular? EE, Red or Green?
