I had a year until we get married and I set myself a target of losing around 1.5lb a week which would get me to target and I thought this was a realistic amount each week. But I only ever lose 1/2lb or 1 at most regardless of whether I eat 40 of my 49 weekly allowance or none at all, I also go...

Does anyone know where to get cheapish wide calf boots please?

Hmmm maybe, it just seems strange to eat for the sake of it if i'm trying to lose weight lol. Has anyone else found this?

Hi, I'm just getting really dis-heartened, i lost 4.5 lbs the first week on ww sticking to 32 pp and used 0 weeklies. The second week I did exactly the same and only lost 1lb ... I know you lose more on the first week but I thought 2lbs was the expected amount seen as I wasn't using weeklies...

Do you use all your 49 weekly points and how does it affect your lossses? I originally weighed 16st 2lbs and lost 4.5 lbs in my first week and used all my 35 daily points and 49 weekly points. The second week I used half of my weekly points and all daily points and lost 1.5lbs. The next...

Just wondered if anyone knew how many pp's in a slice of garlic bread pizza from the take away, a large chicken kebab (the breast pieces one not the other one), small chips and a small pot of garlic sauce? Thanks

Hi, I've had a really naughty weekend but still want to know the pro points. Does anyone know how many pro points for: chicken korma egg fried rice popadom mango chutney garlic naan bread mushroom chow mein chinese chips Thanks in advance

I've been reading about how to try and prevent loose skin when loosing a large amount of weight (7 stone) and it's often said about doing strength and toning exercises with weights etc. I don't really know what to do so thought a dvd would be a good start so I wanted to ask if anyone could...

At the moment I weigh 16 stone but I would like to lose weight and be back at 9 stone; however I've seen so many photos and stories about the loose, saggy and unsightly skin that is left when someone looses that amount of weight, I think I'd be more unhappy with my body than now. I know that...

I normally have a muller light yogurt and a banana for breakfast at work about 9.30 because I don't like eating as soon as I get up but I'm getting sooo bored of this now. I also tried some melba toast but find it doesn't really fill me up. Any suggestions as to what I can have in the morning...

Hi does pasata have points? I'm sure I remember the leader saying it doesn't but when I used my calculator it came out as 2pp. Does only a certain brand have 0pp? I often use it and have been pointing it but I just wanted to know for sure. Thanks

The syrup one is 4 I think, but I assume that doesn't include the milk that I mix with it. I thought porridge would be a little lower than that actually, maybe it's because this one is so sweet compared to plain porridge lol

Yer I was unsure about the portion sizes too, I was told that a portion of chicken balls was 3/4 and that was 13 PP just for that not for the whole bag. Not sure though. Also is 8PP for chicken chow mein for the whole tub or just half?

My friend told me chicken chow mein was 6 in the eating out guide but on the guide on the WW site it is 5PP. Maybe just use the highest value but would like to know why there is a difference.

I can't find the Femail article at all that lists Pro Points, is there any chance you could post the link. Thanks for your help

Thanks for that, I've also found the Find and Explore section on the WW website, but it seems to have different values for food I've read elsewhere like jacket potatos and gammon, not sure why though, do you think I should follow it from the WW site?

I'm on the WW site and is there a list of common foods and their new Pro Points value on the site or even on here? If not, could we start one on here, I think it would be really useful. For example I am trying to find out the Pro Points value for (either an average portion or the exact...

Yer this is only my 2nd day and I'm having a serious wobble!!! It's good to come on here though and try to get motivated :) My boyfriend is having Chicken Korma and I am so wanting some, but instead I'm having poached eggs :sigh: Quick question ... when it states burgers must be less than...

Hey everyone, What a great site this is, so glad I've found it!!! Anyway we're all starting this at work after a girl lost 13lbs in 2 weeks and 2 days, so I thought it is definitely worth a try. I've read all the stuff on here and parts of the book quick but have a few questions. Are...

Has anyone any ideas of the average points for takeaway pizza. In the guide and other places it just states for Pizza Hut, Dominos etc. Also the points for the carton of chips please. Any advice welcomed ... :)

help ... it doesn't give nutritional value on the KFC website. I had a mini fillet snack box, a mini fillet is pointed as 2 but I don't know the portion size of the chips, regular is 4.5 and large is 6. I pointed it as 6 but was just checking if anyone knows for sure what portion of chips you...

Hi, I need some new ideas for low point meals please. For breakfast I have a Mullerlight yogurt (1.5) followed by a Kellogs Mini Breaks bag (1.5) then 2 satsumas (0.5) as a snack. I need other breakfasts that I can have at my desk at work so no cereal or porrdige etc. For lunch it is...

Ah right yes I've never thought about it like that. So how many points in a bag of chinese chips would you say and also chip shop chips. Thank you it's made it much clearer now

Are these like gammon rounds, I just had a gammon steak from Iceland and it has no nutritional value on them. It was unsmoked and about the size of a side plate. I've got no idea of what to point it as!!!

Does anyone know what the points are for gammon rounds with all the fat cut off? Not sure if that is the real name for them or not but that's what my nanna calls them lol It's just like a round slice of gammon about the size of the middle bit of a plate. Also how much for a slice of gammon...

Ah right, yes I thought it was low. So 7.5 points is for 170g of chips how much is that? I looked on the eating out guide and it said small chips 7.5 and regular 9.5 from chip shop I think. What is regular classed as then, I thought it would be just the whole bag, but then it seems so low still.

Yes you are right, it's not that I struggle to eat them, I could, it's just that when you are following this or any plan it's hard for you to understand that you should eat even if you're not that bothered about doing so. And I'd have a milky way or something else sweet to use my points and it...

I found that mushroom chow mein is 4.5 and chips are 7.5 for whole tray and whole bag. Do these points seems right to you? If so really can't believe how good points wise Chinese is.

Friends have just turned up so no longer having my planned tea. I think I remember chow mein isn't too bad but how many points specifically for mushroom chow mein and a portion of chips from a Chinese takeaway please. And is the points for the whole tray. Any other points for Chinese...

How long are you supposed to do Fast Start for if you stick to 18 points? The reason I stick to between 18 and 22 is so there is some flexibility between doing Fast Start and my normal points. Because otherwise I'd just eat for the sake of it to make 22 points (just can't get my head around...

Yer I'm allowed 22 and 18 is Fast Start so my rule is to always be in between 18 and 22 each day so I have some flexibility with it. That's what I mean I was so suprised not to put on lbs for the last 2 weeks when I didn't do it properly compared to the second week when I tried so hard and...

Hey everyone, Back again after a week or two break from here, just been so busy with work and stuff, but I've tried not to go over too much and done a bit of exercise. So I've stayed the same, but not too bothered as I've not tried my hardest. Back to it this week though, and will be back...

Have you tried that green tea, it is so bad it reminds me of the smell of horse hay lol. I've got some left actually so I may force myself to have a cup in the afternoons from now on. Yep definitely going to stick at it and do exercise and we'll see what this week brings. Going to get...

Yer I thought I was doing good with gym, swimming, dvd and tremor board so maybe it's a bit of muscle that's gone on which weighs more than fat. I think I'm going to measure inches and compare that each month as well. But like I said I'm still going to stick at it and see how it goes! I worked...

Thank you so much for the suggestions, the one about not thinking it is a diet is particularly why I wanted to try WW. I've tried watching what I eat before, but everytime I had something that wasn't 'super healthy' I thought I failed and gave up, but with WW you can have normal food as long as...

Hi everyone, I also started on 1st March but have only just come across this thread. Everyone seems so nice and supportive I thought I'd join in :) I'm allowed 22 points but read that 18 was for fast start so my aim was to be between 18 and 22 points each day. I stuck to this religiously and...

Hiya, does anyone know how many points are in mayo, tomato sauce and any others. Just a normal squeeze or spoon etc so not loads :) I always have to have something to dip in lol

Hiya, what do you point for a scoop of mash with a little margarine and also just boiled potatoes. I really struggle with potatoes to point them accurately. Thank you

Just Dance is THE BEST game ever, it's so fun, you don't feel like you're exercising at all. Had some friends over on Saturday and we all loved playing on it, turned it up loud and got in the party mood lol We played on it for about 2 and a half hours but it flew by but goodness me I could feel...

Hey, I have always pointed grapes at 0.5 but I've just read that they are pointed 1. I thought most 'average' fruit was 0.5? What do others think?

Great, thanks so much, it'll be really useful! :)

Thanks so much, yep in the end I put it down for 10. That's quite high really isn't it, but it's so hard when other people are cooking for you, never mind. :)

Hi, I'm going to the in-laws for a last minute dinner tonight and we're having chicken risotto. It'll be home made and I'll have a average-ish portion, how many points do you think I should count it as, I've really got no idea what to estimate it as? Thank you x

Hey, Does anyone use the portion pots here? I'm just about to start using mine again but can't find the sheet that came with them etc and now can't remember what pot is for what! Is anyone able to share what the sheet says please? Thanks in advance guys

Hey guys, How many points are in 2 new potatoes and also 2 roast potatoes, just average sized, I haven't got any scales unfortunately? Also any suggestions for lowest point bread? Thank you :)

Hey, the veg did have peas in it, so would that be 0.5, wish I could take them out though I don't even like them lol I cooked at home but was just using the Eating Out Guide as a guess, so what do you think? 0 points and for the peas 0.5? Also points for the pork, stuffing, gravy and mash...

Just had a slice of pork with 1/2 portion of stuffing, mash, carrots, sprouts and mixed veg and gravy. I came to check on here for points and used the Eating Out Guide on here. Points in the fruit and veg section is different to what is in the Toby Carvery section. Can anyone clarify the...

So many good ideas guys! I used the calculator and worked out Special K Mini Breaks to be 2 points - not sure how we'd be getting different then?!?! Also I had the snack pack of Butterkist Light Popcorn for 2 points (double check though) and it was sooo nice, tasted just like the full fat...

I actually bought them all off EBay really cheap and just bought the ones I wanted. Worked out lots cheaper!

I normally have Special K Mini Breaks and work these out at 2 points. Are there any alternative cereal bars etc or other snacks that are low points but filling. I have carrots (0 points), grapes (0.5 points) and apples (0.5 points) and also 4 ryvitas and 2 triangles of Low Laughing Cow...

Hi, I've decided to give WW a go and have just bought lots of books and a calculator from EBay. But until they arrive I'm a bit stuck for points value for my favourite foods. So I decided to join here as you all seem so friendly and I was hoping you can help :) How many points would the...
