Hi hon do you still need help? are you still doing discover? I just started it again and have books if you need help x

Hi, Well I am a creature of habit so I tend to eat a lot of the same foods ongoing. So I created a spreadsheet of all of my usual foods. I went online on asda. Found my favourite foods and when you click on the item on asda it gives you the nutritional information so i put each item into the...

Hi shan, I am pointing using the discover way (if you look on ebay it's discover plan not discovery although the latter sounds better!). To work out how many points you're allowed a day on discover plan you do this questionnaire: Are you: Female = Score 3 Male = Score 9 Are you a...

Hi all, I haven't done discover since it was officially out. I lost 3.5stone and got to goal! Loved it. Since then I have tried WW propoints (several times), Slimming world, Exante, 5:2. Just nothing gels. I am nearly back to the weight I was prior to doing Discover. It occured to me that...

Thanks so much for all your lovely long replies it's been really helpful. I've done my big shop in asda today to start Monday. Trolley certainly looked healthy! It is strange buying nothing at all preprepared! I bought a few Nakd bars as I've seen peple say they had them. But then i looked...

Hello, I am starting low GI on Monday and a little nervous! I kind of live off bread and always have! I've read up quite a bit and have a book to finish reading. Can i just ask a question. I don't plan on doing low carb i just want low GI (dodgy blood sugars). But is it fair to say if...

thanks for replying. if i lost 2 pounds a week id be overjoyed! Ive lost 2 pounds in 3 weeks! Which normally would be acceptable but i dont really understand it when i have now introduced exercise. I only have a stone and half to lose and it does move slower as ive been here before. But...

Hello, I have a bit of a problem! All through my weight watchers journey (the ups and downs) I have always been very consistent. I know I lose 1 pound a week with good effort and more for being very strict with points and a touch of activity. half if ive gone over a by a few points. As I'm...

Hello, I am a bit confused! I saw somewhere that a half sugar bacardi breezer was 1 point which excited me a lot! Saturday nights sorted i thought! So i checked my eating out guide and it definately says they are 1 point. But at 100 cals it seemed too good to be true because a small glass...

Hi, 12 points is around 500cals. If you're 500 cals over for the week it isnt so bad. you have to eat 3500 over to gain a pound. and 3500 under to lose a pound. (On average). So you could still lose half a pound or at least stay the same. So i wouldn't worry. I reckon keep to the usual 29...

hi thanks for answers, i have and do make my own and use a wrap as a base or mini naan or make my own. But just really fancy the taste of a frozen one lol. I have to admit i don't like WW ones. I like a lot of their food but the pizza didnt do it for me! I think i'll have a chicago town...

Hello, Does anyone know a frozen pizza range thats the lowest in propoints? (I know theyre all high but if anyone knows a range thats the best that would be great!) Short of standing in the supermarket for an hour assessing them i am not sure the best other way to find out! Thanks

I use all 49 of mine and have lost every week. (and i tend to use them all on the same day for wine and yum food). The way i see it is that if each point is an average of 40cals (which it is) then 29 a day x 40 is 1160cals a day. 49 weekly points is approx 1960cals. Divide that by 7 days for...

hello, just to clarify the discovery wraps i buy which are in tesco and asda are 3 pro points each on the new plan. They are not related to the discover plan! They are a brand called discovery. I prefer them to the WW wraps. They are more like proper tortilla wraps.

thats it! old el paso! was annoying me not remembering. i kept picturing the bull but couldnt get the name!

oh my god just thought of another use for these bad boys! pizza! A whole light mozzarella ball in asda is 6 points. so could make a zero point tomato sauce with tinned toms and herbs and garlic. and top with veg and the whole mozza ball. the meal would be 9 points! lol im so giddy about...

discovery tortilla wraps in white or wholemeal just 3 points each. I have them with 1 quorn sausage in each sliced up and salad and a little extra light mayo. only 8 points for 2 filled wraps! mmmm Or i use one as a "chapati" with curry as its less points than a reasonable amount of rice!

hello, the tortillas i buy a normal size. not small not large lol. They are definately around 40g. There's 8 in a pack and the pack is 320g. I used the information off the back with my WW calculator. And they are 3 points. WW wraps are the same size and 3 points so it makes sense to me...

its taken some time but i have discovered a filling lunch for 8 points! i seem to be able to fill myself with evening meals much more easily than stuff i can make for work! Anyway i discovered that discovery toilla wraps are 3 points each in wholemeal or normal! so what i do slice up 1...

I havnt done roast veg but the stir fry was good. I put the onion and mushroom and quorn in 1st (i honestly wouldnt know if meat would require longer as im veggie). Cooked them for 5 mins in it. Then added the bounsprouty and slim quick to cook bits for 3 mins. Then threw in the straight to...

Hello, Had my 1st pro points weigh in today since i got weighed a week ago after xmas. (was previously doing discover till xmas). I only lost half a pound. obviously better than nothing. But i'm hoping it's because my xmas excesses hadn't all finished making me gain so this last week ive...

i got mine just over a week ok and i love it! the chips are better than oven cooked for just 1 pro point if you use oil. We've done roast potatoes in there. A full stir fry which was amazing! at the end put the straight to wok noodles and sauce in and it was all great. so little work...

Hello, You could make salsa and have veg with it. or a veg chilli. veg curry. rataouille. the latter could all be stuffed in peppers or butternut squash and roasted for a filling zero point meal! butternut squash chips are free. i love a salad with roasted mediterranean veg in. I cut up...

you're allowed 2 alpen light bars for HEX B as far as i'm aware? I hope thats the case lol. yes i could stop syn saving as much. i might eat 10 a day and eat toally normally at the weekend and just have some wine at the weekend so its not food and wine extra. the only reason i thought i...

thanks everyone. Im going to drink more water and vary my diet! I too think my body isnt at its optimum weight. I only eat quorn mince or pieces. I definately eat the free quorn. I know i need to syn quorn if it's in crumbs and what have you. Maybe i eat too much quorn then. I'm not...

I'm going to give it another week or 2 and if it doesn't improve i shall have to go back to WW as it did work. But i loathe the thought of pointing! I was hungry too to be honest. My head doesn't seem to be in a WW place but it's gonna have to be SW doesn't do it for me. I though on SW th...

I suppose my body might just like this size lol. How dare it! It didnt use to! I was really thin (not on purpose) until i got ill. and got quite overweight. Then i got a bit better and lost a fair bit of weight to be in healthy bmi. then i put a stone on again (where i am now) but because...

I can't not save the syns lol. If i dont' have a bottle of wine on a weekend the hard work midweek isnt worth it lol. I know its immature but i just cant help it! Im not 1 glass a day kind of girl i like to let my hair down once a week. I do understand this can affect loss but not normally...

Thanks for answers, I don't go to group i'm on a debt management plan. I can't really. I have loads of salad and veg. All my curries/chilli's etc have onions, mushrooms and peppers in. And lunches if its a salad day have tomatoes, cucumber, onion, peppers, and lettuce in. admittadly i dont...

Hello, I don't seem to be getting anywhere with SW. I have now had 4 weigh ins and it's not going well at all! I don't understand it. I write down everything i eat and i can't see a problem with what i eat! I'm not someone who accidentally cheats because i did WW and lost consistently every...

http://www.hansasrestaurant.com/hansasweb.pdf Hello the link above is for the menu for the restaurant im going to. It's an indian vegetarian restaurant and i'll be on a green day. I know i can't syn this accurately but does anyone have any suggestions for the lease synful starters and least...

Hello, Just walked over a mile on my lunch hour to locate these morrisons microwave in minutes pouches! i looked every where. eventually (after asking 3 staff who didnt help) i located them. they only have one veggie one in though which is thai veg! i hope they're nice. does anyone know...

aaa

am i the only person who doesnt really like it? I had it for the 2nd time last night and it was just about edible! I couldn't finish a tin as it was making me feel a bit nauseous lol. I must be a weirdo! Also when i opened the tin a smell hit me that was reminiscent of dog food lol not...

Hello, Does anyone know if Seitan is free to eat like tofu and quorn? For example a tin of mock duck? It's a veggie subsitute made of gluten free wheat... Many Thanks

Hello, I read somewhere that asda meatfree mince is syn free. Yet somewhere it says it's synned. Does anyone know for sure. Because i love quorn but i love this just as much and it's cheaper! I'd rather get the cheapest. Thanks

Thanks for replies. I am permanently hungry lol. I eat little and often. Even if i ate a big brekky, and lunch i'd literally need to snack. I have hypoglaecemia (probs didnt spell it however) so i do need to eat little and often. Take your point though that perhaps i shouldn't snack on a...

Hello, First proper day today and i'm well planned and stocked with free foods. For breakfast i had weetabix using HE's. Then i had grapes and 1 alpen light bar (part of another HE). Then a free quorn curry for lunch. Then a kitkat for 5.5 syns. This afternoon i plan on a mugshot...

Hello, I was just wondering if it's ok to make a really big free lunch and at work eat a little bit of it mid morning and in the afternoon rather than snacks? Or do you literally have to eat 3 meals and have different snacks or is any free food ok anytime and therefore i could feasibly graze...

Hello, I keep hearing about asda's chickpea dahl so i bought some today. What do you eat it with? Is it a rice thing? Is it nice cold for a packed lunch or does it need to be hot really? A;so how do you create a signature on this forum? I can't seem to work out how to do it! thanks

Hi, I'm finding a bit tricky to find these fat free allowed foods. such as cottage cheese, fromage frais and natural yoghurt. I can find virtually fat free cottage cheese which i presume is ok? but the fromage frais and yoghurt just seems to be supermarkets "low fat". Is this acceptable...

hi, i tried the calculator and it said 8.5 syns. I presumed it wouldn't be any/many :-) I only started SW this week so i'm entering into it slowly and using everything up in my house anyway as i can't afford not to. But when i shop again i'll avoid stuffed pasta! I'm used to WW so that...

Hello, I have had stuffed pasta for lunch. It's good for you pasta from asda with veggies in. I know the pasta is free and veggies are free on the back it says 10% ricotta. so how do i syn this up? If i put the whole fat and calories into a syn calculator it would be too many because it...

I buy it in asda. How many sins is it? My first day on SW today so don't the sins of anything yet!

Hello, I'd love the quorn excel file that would be amazing but i can't work out how to email you! First day on here today can you tell! Cheers becks
