Chow Mein is my staple treat on ww with a portion of mixed veg. It's never affected my weightloss

I have heard that tip before about deep breathing.. Paul McKenna mentions it in one of his non-smoking exercises.

I am still not smoking and have started the couch to 5km running programme last week. On week two now and enjoying the running. Had a bit of a naughty weekend foodwise as my housemate had a £50 Waitrose voucher we used to buy some bad stuff : cheese, ham, crusty bread etc. But I am not too...

Hi guys Back after my trip stateside and back on WW again. I put on around 5lbs during my trip but I don't mind it was very, very boozy and I ate a lot of bad food (burger, pizzas, sundaes, lobsters). Back on again and have lost 2lbs this first week.. However, I have also quit smoking...

I did a sneaky weigh in today and have lost 2lbs since Thursday, Hopefully I will lose another one (or two) by this Thursday :D

How I don't know!

What did you do? i had an awful Saturday drank a LOT of booze and had a 3 course meal out - pate, belly pork and chesecake.. I knew there was no way i could recitfy what i had done so i just drew a line under the day and started again. That's what you have to do. the result of my...

Not many though.. maybe 1 or 1.5. I never use exercise points for food.. they're always just a bonus for me

It depends on your weight

Going for a 7lb loss and can I still update tomorrow morning my April loss? WI will be tomorrow for me? Bren - 7lbs chipbutty - 4lbs CupcakeKatie -4lbs DopeyAngel - 7lbs Eless - 6lbs (by 20th -I go to the US then) Irene 4 lb Jax123 - 10lbs jacqui35 4lbs Jessie15 - 7lbs Katie_Victoria 6lbs...

Thank you :) I was a size 8 about 4 years ago.. I just want to be there again :)

I started 14th January and have lost 37lbs.. not much further for me to go as I am a size 10 now. I find it brings me UP emotionally when i can get into smaller and smaller sizes! But I don't suffer.. I have a good varied eating plan and still have treats - booze, chinese, chocolate and...

Those pics are awesome Jim.. it's amazing isn't it when you don't feel like you have to cover up anymore? You just want to walk around showing off your great figure? I'll be in the shops now shouting "HAVE YOU GOT THIS IN A SIZE 10?" hehe

Not really a recipe as such but recently I have fallen in love with roasted vegetables - I generally do some red and green pepper, some courgette, some field mushrooms and some red onion.. i use spray oil and slice a fresh garlic clove and throw that in and some sprigs of fresh rosemary... it's...

All the chow meins are low! They are a life saver!

I thought a 125ml glass of regular, i.e. not ww wine, is 1.5points? that would make a bottle 9 points..

Well done Jim.. you've done amazingly well.. you must feel fantastic! I lost 7lbs this week.. I honestly am not sure how.. but I'm -37lbs now and a size ten again! yay!

Yeah colonics are good.. and they feel quite nice when you can feel the water inside. Although I think I've done ok re: wanting a boost - this week I have lost 7lbs! wtf? This is my 15th week as well.. I don't know how I have managed it - I'm now a size 10 so it's not like I have lots of...

my marbles....

I think the eating out guide is pretty good.. they might be wrong give or take a couple of points but I wouldn't worry about it... I've never had any problems following the points they allocate for things.

Nope that's about right, prawn chowmein is about 3.5, king prawn chow mein 5, chicken and char sui about 7.5, beef chowmein about 8. I think special chowmein is 7.5/8. if i am being a big pig i get a portion of mixed veg too as a side.. I don't know how many points that is but I always put it...

Don't think about a long term goal too much or you'll stress yourself. Work on one day at a time.. "Today I will stick to my points and be good".. Also there's nothing you can do that can't be undone..

I lost 2 stone in 2 months.. it's now 3 months and I've lost 2.5 stone (it's slowed down due to a weekend away and I have not been as hardcore as I was at the start)

But for treats: I keep ww crisps (1point) in stock or French fries (2points), curly wurlys (2.5 points), Go ahead yoghurt breaks (1point per biscuit and they are yummy), ww biscuits (1.5), go ahead biscuits (1point each)

I know exactly what you mean.. like: I could have a mars bars OR prawn chow mein.. it's a bit of a no-brainer..

Actually it's not been too bad my loss has just slowed down.. last last couple of weeks I've lost 3lbs and 1lb..I've got to 35lbs off in total and am a size 10 now.. want to get to 45-50lbs..and that size 8.. :)

It took me two years to put on 2 stone and it took me 2 months to lose it. I realise now that you can easily keep on top of it if you constantly monitor yourself.

I do eat tonnes of fruit and veg. I have an apple for breakfast, for lunch salad or homemade soup, for dinner always lots of fresh vegetables either with chicken or a ww hotpot or something. I'm actually considering going through a colon cleansing programme or for a colonic to see if that...

I started ww mid-January and so far have lost 31lbs. Over the last three weeks though I have been a tad naughty (had a weekend away in Stockholm and over Easter weekend managed 70 points in 1 day :eek:) Despite all this I didn't put any weight on.. (lost 2 after Stockholm and stayed the same...

If you're not going to a class (as I am doing it) I think you must do two things: 1. make sure you make your own tracker and always fill it in 2. Get someone independent to weigh you and weigh you once a week only (I get a guy from work to weigh me)

Stayed the same this week... damnit!

When i first did ww which was 10 years ago I had a eatng out guide that listed lamb balti as 7.5 points (I think rice was 6).. every saturday without fail I would have lamb balti and rice.. I still lost weight though (I think I averaged about 3lbs a week) - now lamb balti is listed as about 20!

Thanks.. it's weigh in tomorrow and I don't want to have messed it up because I did that instead of following a ww guide :s

I am a little confused about the points value for black pudding.. in a shopping guide I have it says it's 4 points for 62g yet on a pack of black pudding I bought when I work it out from nutrition information on there it works out at 2.5points for 100g (even if I count all the fat rather than...

Really low fat dips.. make your own just v low fat yoghurt and mint and cucumber. How about a ww garlic ciabatta cooked in advance ?

Lots of salady things and low fat dressings (I make epic salads with EVERYTHING in them - mixed leaves, spinach, grated carrot, radish, tomatoes, cucumber, celery, spring onions), WW naan breads or pittas, wafer thin ham, that Tesco value chicken tikka stuff is only about 2points for the whole pack,

No secret.. I have just followed weightwatchers. I do walk to and from work daily (45mins total walking and hilly) and do 20-25mins of toning exercises about 5 times per week.

I do feel great.. Thanks guys. I am going out tonight to celebrate.. going to have a few beers in town (don't worry I won't blow it - I have had a few beer-tastic nights since I started)

I just wanted to say..:D

I think it's hard to gauge everyone is different... i have randomly weird days sometimes eat all my points sometimes not even half depending on how I feel...I do exercises every day though.. I have lost 23lbs in 6 weeks and I have not suffered at all.

The thing to remember is even if you have a really bad day or week.. is not to let it slide.. no matter what: write down your points.. even if it's like 60 or 100.. because if you stop writing things down you'll really lose track and heart. Tracking what you eat/drink is absolutely vital in...

I bought some WW caramel cake bars from Poundland (yay!) .. they're yummy howveer on the pack it says they are 2points per cake - however on the ww website they are listed as 1.5points. has the recipe changed or has the points value been revised does anyone know?

My friend is coming over for dinner on Tuesday - we are both doing ww at the moment. I have some chicken breasts and a great selection of vegetables (which I can always add to). I want to make an interesting chicken casserole obviously for super low points. I am just a bit worried it might turn...

If i have ever slipped on a day I make the points back on the following days. Otherwise I just assume I won't lose any weight

Just work on a daily basis - don't think about the weeks or months ahead. But plan your meals and what you will take for lunch etc. I do that because otherwise -I'd be screwed - I work on a construction site and we have a canteen so when I get to work all i can smell is bacon! But I bring my...

I thik I will aim to skip every day and increase my skipping - I pourchased a sports bra Sunday so that should help.. I already do toning exercises for about 25 minutes a day - although i missed them for the last two days due to illness

Just makes sure you allow yourself your points allowance in a 24 hour period so you can keep track of it. Doesn't matter when the 24 hours period runs from. Everyone is different. I always like to minimise my points usage during the day (and I am not a breakfast person really).. so I have...

My accumulative weightloss now is 15lbs in 4 weeks :)

Seems to have been good advice from everyone I have eaten my points this week and lost 4lbs.. and this despite that I *must* have water retention this week too. Hopefully I will get an equally good weightloss next Thursday

I do some upper body toning exercises every night with weights and for my lower body - 35 squats and some other exercises i have been given. I also walk a fair bit each day (to and from work which hopefully will help my legs). However they just feel huge and vile and wobbly at the moment...

I need to lose as much weight as i can by 26th March.. and get as toned as I possibly can by then.. I am starting to panic now!

I have gone into the obsessive zone.. I can manage on about ten points a day without suffering - fruit for breakfast, salad and tuna or 0 point soup for lunch and a ww dinner with fresh veg..I have had to increase my point intake based on advice from about 5 different people.. last night i had a...

I have an apple and two tangerines but I am not a breakfast person at all..

It does indeed and you can eat anything as long as it is within your allowance.. I think the best part about weightwatchers is it teaches you how to optimise your eating.. so you just think.. why have a chocolate bar when you can have curry and rice and skinny cow dessert? you can save points...

I make this one up to my own recipe.. just have a go and adjust to taste. I use one onion, one clove of garlic - I don't fry them up I just stick them in a pan and add stock (I use one vegetable stock cube and make up about 2pints of stock with that) I use probably about one lb of carrots...

If you want to improve your fitness slowly look up the couch to 5km programme.. it's a way to build up your running ability over 9 weeks without over dooing it

I made it with skimmed milk and no butter or marg

ooh maybe 5 or 6 scoops worth!

The milk i can work out.. I used 4 regular white potatoes - all about the size of a plum

I just wondered how many points are in mashed potato..? I made some tonight with skimmed milk. I used 4 plum sized potatoes.. I esitmate that at 6.. does that sound about right?

I eat an apple every morning for breakfast but generally anyway I am not a breakfast person an apple is about all I can stomach in the morning. I am not going to drink milk for the sake of it.. I have it when i have tea but that's only 2 or 3 times a week. I do however take multivitamins &...

Yeah 7.5 points: I had a tesco chicken lasagne and salad that day and a muller light.. it's all I wanted though as I had had a few beers the night before. I think I'll have to have a lamb madras or something this weekend to boost my points intake. :rolleyes:

I lost a further 2lbs today but feel so annoyed with it as I thought I would have lost more. I have been incredibly strict - points values per day for the last week have been: 14, 11, 27, 7.5, 11, 8 & 14.5. I am not suffereing just eating a LOT more healthily and enjoying it. Any tips on how...

Thanks.. i lost 7lbs week one and 2lbs week 2 which disappointed me. My weigh day is tomorrow (10am) I am hoping for at least 3 or 4lbs.. When I followed ww previously I was losing 3.5lbs per week it was pretty crazy!

This site has popped up a few times when I have done searches online for WW points values for various foodstuffs, so I thought I may as well join. I have been doing WW for two weeks now myself.. and have lost 9lbs. I get weighed weekly by a guy I work with who is the only person who knows my...
