Morning team, I have STS again. Which i am happy with because i have been horribly ill over the last 2 weeks. Just going to plan out my meals for the week and try and get myself back to normal. Even going to work tomorrow seems like an alien concept! I have 2 aims this week - 1. Stick do my...

I started again a couple of weeks ago and i'm not going to the meetings. I use a calculator i downloaded off the net and this website. The support on here is brilliant. Some essentials i get in each week are: Pink n whites 0.5pts each Rich teas 0.5pts each Wafer thin ham 0.5pts for 5 slices I...

Hey everyone! Thought i'd best check in since it is my WI day. I am sorry to say i have STS. Have to say i am slightly relieved, had thought i might gain, haven't had the best of weeks. Have had a chest infection, so spent alot of the week on my backside at home trying to get better (not that...

Yeah i'm sure that'll do the trick, enjoy!

it makes 4 serving, each serving is 5 points. I'll have a look at the jar of seasoning and get back to you.

Ah thank you!

Just made 'one point cajun chicken and rice' which is nice and might be something you can use. Heat oven to GM 6/200C/180C fan. Mist a pan with oil add 600g cubed chicken breast and cook for 5 mins. Add 1 sliced onion, 1 sliced red pepper, 1 sliced yellow pepper, 4 sliced cloves of garlic and...

Thursday 11th March Oh dear not a good day today! I have been off work for 4 days with a chest infection and today it has got me down! I don't feel well enough to teach 30 teenagers 5 times through the day, but at the same time i feel guilty for being off work! :character00117: And this got on...

Welcome to WW, it's a really good way to lose weight and change the way you see food. Have been on here for a couple of weeks, the support is amazing. Good luck for your first week :D

There is a recipe in the latest WW magazine for a fat free fruit loaf, tried to upload it to this email, but apparently the scan is too large, sorry can't help any more with this, hope it helps. :cry: This months mag is well worth a look. :D

What's the word??? A b b b b bir bir bird, bird is the word!! :bunnydance::stickdance::bunnydance::stickdance: What's this game you talk of, sounds good!!! Think i'll start taking measurements, definately shows real progress, am very impressed and inspired by all your losses, well done!

Just back through the first 8 days i have tracked on here and 5 of them contain treats/snacks etc that i shouldn't have had/can't point! What am i going to do??? If i get through to the evening having stuck to my daily allowance i then congratulate myself with a treat - OMG what an idiot!!!

Thanks for the advice, really helpful. Such a shame that i want to achieve both at the same time! I have cut down to 2/3 per day, but i was saying to my bf last night that these are going to be the hardest. Particularly my first of the day which is the one i have when i get in from work, it kind...

Just be really good between now and then. Remember you can save 4pts per day, you could easily bank 10 between now and thurs to make up for sat night. Am jealous that your so close to 11.5 stone, i've got a little further to go :-( So keep up the good work x

Just read in another thread you say you gave up smoking 2 months ago. How did you do it? I'm currently trying to give up. Down to 2-3 a day, but finding these hard to ditch, would appreciate any advice.

Morning KG, just enjoyed reading through your diary. I think you are doing really well, and remember losing 1lb is better than losing nothing! I think you should stop being so hard on yourself when you slip up. These things happen! As long as you get straight back on track then it's just a blip...

Well i am currently somewhere between the 2, i know which pic i wanna get back to!!

Off work today, been to docs, got a chest infection, so thought i'd make the most of the time at home and relax, figure that way i'll get better quicker. Uploaded a selection of photos of myslef this morning. Found this a really interesting excercise. The pictures are between Jan 03 and Feb 10...

Hi, i started last week. First week went really well, 2lbs off, despite plenty of obstacles along the way. Am feeling really positive about this week. Good luck with your first week. Top tip - track everything!!!

Losing 1 pound is better than 0 pounds and much better than gaining a pound - it's going in the right direction, stay positive! Well done x

Congratulations on the amazing loss, stay positive! x

Afternoon all, have decided sunday is gonna be WI day instead of Monday. Just off the scales 2lbs lighter, yay!!! So happy!! Hope everyone has a good week, planned out all my meals last night and am feeling v. positive!

Have decided to change my WI to sunday, for 2 reasons: 1) because i couldn't wait! 2) Sunday is roast dinner day, so wanna give myself a week to work it off (especially since bf mum is doing to roast today!!!) So just got off the scales 2lbs lighter, whoop whoop!!! 5 to go for month's...

Just wondering, i have uploaded a profile pic but i can't see it on any of the posts i have mde since uploading it, what am i doing wrong???

Oh they all sound good, had a prawn sandwich today (a first for me) since we had some left over from tea last night, made a little marie rose sauce up, was lush and low in the points, another brill discovery. Just planned out my meals for next week and am flabbergasted (!!!) at how much food i...

You sound a little more relaxed and happier with things compared to earlier in the week, which is good. As cookies says it may just be taking your body a little while to adjust, don't give up, keep up the good work x

Just been food shopping, based on what i've read on here i have bought some laughing cow extra light, pink n whites and 50/50 crustless. Looking forward to incorporating them into my week. Any more recommendations? Love this website!! :sign0168::heartpump: Hope you're all having a good weekend x

Thanks for the feedback on the cheese, gonna take the average of the 3 responses and go with 2 pts, i always remember WW leader saying a matchbox of cheese was 4 pts and i'm not convinced the measley amount i had was even half a matchbox, so 2 sounds fair!!! Well done on the losses mentioned...

Ran out of ham and had to put cheese in my pitta today, uh oh!!! The best i could manage was 1 tbsp of grated cheese (had to spread it out v. thinly!!) Anyone got any idea on the pts in a tbsp of grated cheese?

Ran out of ham and had to have cheese today! OMG! Had 1tbsp of grated cheese, any ideas on the points? :confused:

Morning! Heard about crustless bread which i wanna try next week, but for this week what difference will it make if i cut the crusts off myself? Got kingsmill white med slice 1.5pts. Could i point it as 1pt? :cross: And can someone put me outta my misery where skimmed milk is concerned, cos...

Uh, just added lunch and totalled up my points so far today. I thought it was going to be awful because i have had 2 biscuits!!! But am very happy to find i still have 8 points left, phewy. Gotta say tho this has motivated me to ignore the biscuit tin that is sitting right next to me and hold...

Ah thanks! Am currently starving!!! I find breakfast to breaktime really hard (6:00-11:00) :sigh: Just had a cadbury's highlight, anyone know the points for one of those? Tell you what it's definately not as nice as the cadbury's choc spread - lush!!! Dread to think what the points are in it...
