I weigh in on Sunday mornings and really love that I can be a bit more relaxed that day :) I don't think I'd change to another day just because it feels good to round off the week with a little treat on Sunday afternoon. Hope that helps.

That's great news :) you should be proud! Have fun shopping hun :D

:( they are nice but that is expensive, it's a shame they don't sell them in the shops. I'm sure lots of people would buy them.

Well done hun that's fab!! Also, your food diary makes my mouth water...it's all so yummy, going to try the yogurt and meringue combo :)

I really love the Weight Watchers Fruities in the liquorice flavour 0.5 points per pack :)

Well done Phil :) that is such a great achievement and you should be so proud of yourself! :D

I always like to leave them to get a better loss but my leader told me she wants me to eat them so I don't lose too much each week. I haven't been eating them though as I can barely manage to eat the whole 26 points I have as it is! I'm sure she'll tell me off at WI though, I'm almost dreading...

Like the others said, I don't think it's better, just different. Seems to suit different people. I prefer it purely for the flexibility aspect (just grabbing a sandwich when out and being able to combine foods more easily) but that is just me :)

Lol, me too :o it makes me feel like I am at my lightest! I shouldn't think it would make too much difference if you have a meal the night before though :)

You're menu looks yummy and well done on pushing forward - you will do it :)

I would like to :) July Challenge Irene - 4 lbs Bridebeth87 - 7lbs

Wow well done! Fab loss :)

Hadn't seen that one before - that's fab! :)

Hi :) I don't think there is an actual calculator online anywhere (other than the official one on the eSource site) but there are plenty of lists of foods and their points. You could have a look on eBay to see if they are selling any points calculators, I have one and wouldn't be without it -...

Welcome and good luck on your journey :) you will find lots of support here!

Wow! What a difference and I love the dress. You look beautiful :)

I totally agree, I keep finding things a lot more points on the site than when I use my calculator - it's really annoying!!

Fantastic loss - well done! :)

Well done on your weight loss, not just this week but overall!! You must be over the moon :)

Yes I think that's true :) I remember when I used to have a huge fatty and calorie-laden meal in the evening and then dose on the sofa. Since I've been eating better it's not as regular now :D

Good idea, might just try that trick out :) will keep me alert too as I sometimes snooze off on the sofa :p

Thanks for all the comments :) I agree, it's almost like it's made me feel really sluggish today so have been back to my usual eating habits :D

Hi :) I know what you mean, I think it's good to mix up what we're eating sometimes. Here are some of the things I have; * Turkey/chicken tagine (I saw the recipe for this on YouTube by a user named kelanjo19 who does WW recipe vids - reeeeally tasty!) * Quesadillas (I have them filled...

Hi :) welcome and good luck!!

Definately going to try out some of these ideas - they sound delicious! Thanks for this post :)

Welcome and good luck :)

Hi everyone :) Been a bit absent from the board for a few days - had an interview on Monday and was busy preparing. Well I found out I got the job yesterday and went out for a meal to celebrate. I thought 'stuff the ww for tonight' and ended up ordering chicken kiev and chips (oooops!) :p...

Well... it's interview day today at 12pm and it's safe to say I am absolutely pooping myself! :( This is my first ever formal interview so not sure what to expect, just trying to stay calm/overdosing on rescue remedy!! Haven't eaten anything yet today either - really can't stomach it but...

Thank you :thankyou: well done to you too :)

Mmm that sounds really nice and yes would be much cheaper :) might try that during the week! Thanks :D

I weigh-in on a Sunday at 10am. Lost 3lb this week so I'm happy :)

Wow that's excellent! Thank you :)

I agree - I love my scales and before was probably having way over the normal portion size. I use them nearly every meal time now :)

Hi guys - hope everyone is having a fab weekend. Been to weigh in this morning and lost 3lbs:D yipee! Going to treat myself tonight to a chinese chicken chow mein and have found that it is 7.5 points. My question is, is that for the whole tub or a particular portion size? If it is the entire tub...

Yum! This sounds delicious :) may also have to invest in her book.

I don't have the channel it's on but just HAD to google this guy. One word: Wow!! Now I know why you all like him :drool:

I don't smoke but things I do to stop me choosing high-calorie snacks is by having things available with low/no points values like jelly, soup and fruit salad...even lollys! Well done on getting back to it and loosing after your trip too :)

Well done on stocking up and getting motivated :) I'm sure that you will be able to reach your goal with such a great attitude. And I totally agree about the tiger bread!! Yum! :p It is soooo tasty but not as good as feeling slimmer and healthier I hope :D

They are fab aren't they!! And I agree that they are more accurate than just taking the word of the food book :) I too get the magazine and am a little bit addicted to the liquorice fruities :p

That's great news! Bet you feel great and you should be very proud of yourself :D

Oh hun :( you sound like you're having a rough time. The only advice I can give is don't give up on the healthy eating as it really won't make you feel better. Try to have some low point things to snack on like jelly or soup or hot chocolate which will be quite comforting. Then do something to...

I had the sweet chilli and veg noodles (new for summer menu) which came to 4.5pts which I thought was great but a bit paranoid as there seemed to be loads of sauce on it for such a small points value. Didn't affect my weight loss though :) was showing OH the nutritional info and his old...

I'm not sure how much they are sorry. I just got an eating out and shop book free with my monthly pass. I bought the points calculator and scales in my first meeting and they have been such a lifesaver! Really really handy :) The scales are very accurate and seem to have loads of food stored in...

Not too bad in Birmingham, just very grey and cloudy :( was awful yesterday evening though very heavy rain and thunder. So much for Summer sunshine!

Wow! That's brill and what a great motivator! Will have to get myself a tape measure I think :)

Hi Size102b, can I join this challenge? I'm aiming for the 4 stone bracket and 50lbs. My weigh-in day is Sunday :)

I know how you feel - I have just finished my degree and didn't have time for anything, let alone exercise! I'm sure you will be able to see results next week :) good luck!

Hi Sazza, I started last week and really struggled to get up to my 26 points. This week I'm more hungry though and am eating much closer to that now :) I think it was also a psychological thing for me that I didn't want to be eating lots and felt guilty, thinking I wouldn't lose weight. After...

Well done lizie2008! Keep up the good work :)

They have them in my local Asda and Tesco, not sure about other supermarkets though sorry. Also, I'm sure I have seen them in poundland too :)

Agreed! I made some spicy carrot soup today as I feared I would eat the house down :p definitely worked too; has kept me full for ages now :)

Picked up some WW cookies in Asda this week for half price - 75p per pack of 6 :) yum!

So far today have blitzed the flat so it's nice and tidy now :) also got some WW mags through the post (ordered them from ebay) so going to have a look through those to get some recipe ideas! Feeling quite hungry today though I have no idea why :confused: so am currently cooking up a big...

:welcome: this forum is great for advice and support :) good luck!

NAJH and Lozbo - thanks for your comments :) hope you're having a good day so far!

Yes I have just qualified as a primary teacher :) this will be my first interview so am very nervous! Well done on getting a job! Roll on September - I'm looking forward to my first pay packet after being poor for four years!! :D

Well done on not giving in to takeaway! A true test of will-power! :)

Well done for not letting the blip put you off :) Good luck!

I really like them! Keep my portion sizes to what they should be and give the points of what you are weighing. I bought them and the calculator in my first week and they have made my life so much easier :)

Well done on such a fab loss :) sorry to hear about your daughter, hope she is feeling better.

Decided to start a diary to document my journey :) So far today I have been to the docs (having acne trouble :( ), been food shopping and done my Davina DVD workout. For the rest of the day I need to prepare for my interview on Monday (eeeek! scared!) and get all my teaching resources...

Morning! Well I was going to walk round the block but it's not really the weather for it! So I think I will do my Davina DVD instead. Then for the rest of the day I'm preparing for an interview I have on Monday and food shopping. Hope everyone has a fab day :)

Well done! What a great achievement :)

Good luck and welcome hun! you sound like you are very motivated so you should get to your goal in no time :)

Welcome to the forum :) you are def in the right place...loads of support on here :)

Have you tried the WW Korma sauce? We got some from poundland and had it on Saturday with chicken, rice and a WW naan - was lovely and was a big portion for about 7-8 points. OH liked it too!:)

That is brilliant! :D

Wow, that's fantastic - 2 stone!! :D Bet you are chuffed :) well done you!

All your lunches sound very tasty. Not sure what I'm having yet - the cupboards are a bit bare! Probably beans or egg on toast...adventurous eh?! Have a great day :)

Thanks for all the comments :)

Good luck, will keep my fingers crossed for you :)

Well done :) that's a great loss!

Welcome and good luck on your journey :) you can do it!

Went to my first weigh-in today and was pleasantly surprised to have lost 4.5lbs :) I have loved my first week and haven't felt hungry once. Thanks for all your support on here guys :D

Thanks for sharing! Just worked out that around the block is 1.15 miles and I can burn 165 cals - great stuff!! :)

Sounds tasty! And definitely agree that sometimes things we cook our selves are much nicer than any bought food. Hope you enjoyed :)

I know how you're feeling :) I have my first weigh in at 10am and am a bit nervous, just hope I've lost! I'm sure you will be fine if you have been mainly sticking to it :) good luck!

I agree with you lizie2008, I find it much more simple. Don't need to worry about food combinations, HE A and B etc. It's more like 'real-life' eating if that makes sense but healthier :)

Well done! What a brilliant loss :) keep it up!

Go for it! It sounds like you have all the motivation you need to get to your goal! Good luck :)

Welcome :) I'm quite new too and this forum is great! Organising your meals will really help too, good idea :D

Hi Louisa! :) Welcome to WW! I'm fairly new too and have found everyone to be very lovely on here so you will certainly have lots of people to journey with. I'm sure 'real' food will be a refreshing change for you after those shakes :D. Good luck with your goal!

Hi :) I'm in a similar position to you atm. Going for a meal later with 3 friends and I'm actually feeling nervous and worried about what I'm going to eat which is crazy as I should be looking forward to it! I would be in interested to see what everyone recommends to you. As for OH he sounds...

I agree with everyone - joining WW is the best thing I have done this year! As a former SWer I can actually feel my habits changing and am getting more comfortable and in control around food :)

Well done hun! Keep going!! :)

The only think I can think of is maybe some cold sugar-free jelly which would be nice and cooling on a hot day :) Sorry I can't be anymore help, I'm new to WW so not 100% familiar with everything yet :D

I really like that idea! Going to give it a go :D

It's a celeb this month. She is on a travel show I think so not really sure she'd be termed a 'real' woman :) There was one girl in it though that had lost a huge amount of weight and I found her very inspiring :)

Well done on your losses! :)

Thanks for all the great advice guys :) will save some for the weekend!

Congratulations on your loss! That's just fantastic :D I started WW on Sunday and just hope I can do as well as you :)

Hi Daisyhappy :) I'm the same - have had lots of failures with diets and joined WW on Sunday and loving it so far! You will find everyone on here so supportive too, they really are lovely :) Good luck on your journey!

Well done - that's brill! :D

Thanks everyone. Going to switch milk and bread and see how it goes. Like Kirsty says, in a while I will be wishing I had 26 points again! :)

Hi all. Hope everyone is enjoying the bank hol! I joined WW yesterday and worked out my points allowance to be 26. My leader told me to get up to the 26 as close as I could which I thought 'fine' at the time and trotted off home. However, I found it very hard to use all these points up...

Takeaway on Fridays and eating out on weekends and probably all of my snacking. Anytime I was bored etc I would reach for food :( In the week my meals were never that bad really but my portion sizes were WAY too big!! Bought some half price WW scales yesterday so that won't be a problem now :D

Yes, I picked mine up yesterday and saw 4 men in the July magazine Phil :) they are not on the cover but at least it's a step! :cool:

I agree with the others. I too did SW a while ago and lost some weight but it didn't change my eating habits and I found the combinations of food and red/green days were hard to fit into my lifestyle (e.g. eating out). I switched to WW yesterday and so far am really enjoying it (I know it's only...

Very inspiring, think I will be watching it a lot over the next few months :)

Don't worry guys - World Cup soon and we will show em (I hope!)

Hi there, I also used to do SW but also found it wasn't working for me. Got my first WW meeting this morning! Good luck hun! :)

WOW That is fantastic!! I bet you are so proud of yourself :D I'm going to my first meeting tomorrow and this has really inspired me :)

That dress and shoes are gorgeous - you have great taste! I'm sure you will reach your goal and look absolutely fab at your birthday party :D

Thanks Phil :D

Thanks for the advice. Will head over to that thread now :D will be good to share our experiences!

Thank you!! :D Marrying on 6th August. Reading this has spurred me on to aim for size 10-12 now hehe!

Thank you! :)

Hi everyone! Thought I would introduce myself as I'm starting WW tomorrow and going along to a local meeting. I'm 22 and the reason I want to lose weight is to feel more confident. I'm also getting married next August which is an extra dose of motivation to finally do it! I have done SW a...
