    another attempt at weight loss

    It takes some time getting used to the fact that you have a weekly allowance to use on top of your daily allowance (soo many people posted saying they were frightened they were going to put on weight when PP first came out) but, eventually you get used to it. It really is a case of trial and...

    Anyone else work nightshift??

    Hi I have only recently rejoined WW but I do nightshifts and the last time I was following the plan I found it really easy. I normally eat my 3 meals during the day on my 1st shift then take nothing with me on the 1st night, then i eat breakfast when i get up between 1 and 3pm, dinner around...

    discover or pro points.

    I have done both plans with a break inbetween. I just cant get on with PPs, at one stage i lost no more than 0.5lb a week for 3 weeks, then went on a caravan break where I took my iPhone/iPad with me and bought prepointed food to keep me going, so no cheating occurred, did a little bit more...

    1 month in.....

    And I am absolutely loving SS! Ok, 2 weeks of that I binged badly but I think its because old habits die hard on certain shifts and once I worked out where I was going wrong and what to do in future, I was right back on track, but even so, I have still lost 9.5lb in a month! :) To cap that...

    Week 2 WI

    Slimming World Online

    Hi I joined online last year with a 3 month subscription, then decided two weeks later to go to a class.

    working night shifts :-/

    Yes, you can do WW on nightshifts!! Take some fruit in with you, or some low point soup (Slim a Soups are generally 2pp each), also, dont forget, you have your 49 weeklies to use as well should you get hungry... I generally dont take anything in on my first night shift, surviving on tea/coffee...

    What's your ideal size?

    When I was 16, I was an 8-10, but I looked too scrawny, within a year of moving in with hubby, I shot up from 7.5 stone to 13st where I wore a 16. I got back down to 10st 4.5 when I was 21 where I did get into a tight 10, but generally a 12-14 fits me now at 13st 5.5, lol! Therefore, I dont go...

    Well i joined but doubt i will go back

    I would check if there is another class in the area. When I first started to go to meetings, I had an incident where, as I went to stand on the scales, i lost my balance and the "helper" weighing me said loudly "You know leaning forward alters the reading, do it again!", then at the same...

    Weight watcher chips

    Yes, unfortunately so :( It's the first thing you notice when u start propoints, how much heavier in points things seem. For instance a medium jacket potato (think it's 225g size?), weighed when cooked is 8pp, on old points probably 3-3.5pts. Half a 400g tin of beans is 5pp, old points 2.5...

    Advice on WW plan.

    Eating Out Points on both plans

    I think the bingeing is down to boredom, and of course, liking things i shouldnt have.

Im even standing...

    Introducing the new Pro-points plan: *UPDATED TO THE CHANGES IN 2011!*

    Yes I would guess you are on 29 points that is the lowest points available. But then you get an extra 49 a week to play with as well!!

    Introducing the new Pro-points plan: *UPDATED TO THE CHANGES IN 2011!*

    Lol! Makes no odds to me, anything screaming "healthy" makes me run in the opposite direction, be it fruit, chicken, fish (although i cant eat fish), rice....(She says as she finishes her chocolate profiteroles "YUM!")

    Introducing the new Pro-points plan: *UPDATED TO THE CHANGES IN 2011!*

    Aah - but as my leader informed us this morning, fruit is not FREE, its 0 points!! (Still cant work that one out, lol!). Basically, I think she was saying dont stuff yourself with too much fruit, you wont see a weightloss?

    Pro Plan

    Hi I started the ProPoints plan today, from what i can tell most of the people in my meeting were on 29 points a day (im on 30). You have to use all your ProPoints everyday, you cant save any. On top of this you get an extra 49 ProPoints "Living Allowance" a week to use although you dont have...

    Introducing the new Pro-points plan: *UPDATED TO THE CHANGES IN 2011!*

    Yes, thats right, all the ww food will be repackaged with the propoints values on them, i joined a meeting today and the leader gave me a sheet of propoint stickers for me to write the new propoints of any old ww packaged food i had left so that there is no waste. The only problem i have is that...

    Convincing myself I like Pepsi Max

    I used to love Diet Pepsi, it was all i would drink when i was 12 years old - but only cos Michael J Fox was in the adverts, Lol! However, 24 years on and my tastebuds have definately changed. I can drink any form of Diet Coke (inc Zero), but I find Pepsi really sickly.....Its the same with...

    Quorn - an acquired taste?

    I didnt originally like the taste of Quorn Mince, but after using it over the course of a year, I find normal mince too greasy tasting now. I must admit the sausages are a bit rubbery and bland tasting, but soon sorted with a bit of gravy, lol! But I absolutely love Quorn Crispy Fillets!! I...

    what was your turning point?

    When I was a teenager I weighed no more than 7 stone - then I moved in with hubby and my weight fluctuated between 10st 12 and 12st 10. Somewhere in between, poor mum was diagnosed with breast cancer at 39 unfortunately passing away at 45. Whilst my mum was in the hospice, my then 25 year old...

    Any shift workers?

    I work shifts for London Underground. You dont have to buy WW meals, in tesco, most of their lighter choices meals have a red circle with the points written in it, much more choice available as well, (sandwiches/wraps, cereal bars etc), my favourites are the lamb moussaka (4.5 points), and the...

    Please help :(

    Hi I am flitting between SW and WW at the moment. I find when I do WW I only lose 7-8lb a month, but its much nicer to be able to eat anything without feeling guilty. Are you tracking the points for the exercise you are doing? WW recommends that you use up the points you get for exercise. It...

    The Joys of night shift!!

    I dont think you are eating too little, in fact, you eat more than I do. When I am on nights, I only eat my meals between the time i get up (anywhere between 1 and 3pm) and the time I go to work (10pm). I never take anything to work with me as it would be gone in the first hour of being there...

    Hi I joined WW 7 years ago and lost 3 stone in 10 months. Then due to circumstances it came piling back on. So, to support a friend I rejoined a WW meeting in 2008. Over the course of 2 years, I rejoined 3 times, but just couldnt get into it. I also suffered frequent migraines which I thought at...

    Why is weight watchers better than slimming world???

    Hi I belong to an SW class, but as I am a shift worker I am finding it increasingly difficult to fit the meals into my days, and ive put 2lb on over the last two weeks because of it (couldnt get to class due to the shift i was on last week). So... as my husband couldnt get on with SW he has...

    I have a very good friend who has been dieting on and off with me for the last couple of years or so (shes on ww). Her husband is an oaf, always says nasty things to her about her weight which instead of giving as good as she gets, she gets upset (naturally). Anyway, 4 years ago, we all went...

    Two diets in one house

    up until 3 weeks ago, i was on sw and my hubby was on ww.(I was previously on ww). If your question relates to what to do at mealtimes, one thing i found handy when making the transition was to "point" my sw meals (potato 2.5, peas 2, meat 6 etc) until i got the hang of the sw diet, that way...
