These solero ice cream lollies are so nice! They're low in calories and are generous portion sizes, great for summer. There is three in a pack, and you can get them from Asda at two packs for £3 - those are only 90 calories! I've also found them in Fulton's foods where they are one pack for...

I prefer discovery as well - having weeklies just encourages me to eat more than I should a day.

I'm doing a Sunday weigh in as well. :D I feel like it'll get me through the week.

I'm wondering whether anybody feels like they've made changes for their diet, which they think/know they will continue in the future. Choices which they think generally make them a healthier person. :) Just over a year ago, I was drinking fizzy drinks every day, chocolate all the time, white...

There is three bars of chocolate, a packet of biscuits and ice cream in the freezer and I haven't had any of it! I also resisted the urge of pizza last night. When you feel like you're about to give up, just think; a few weeks of hard work = years of happiness. :)

My goal was eleven stone, I lost the two and a half stone I needed to. Then, I decided that I wanted to lose a bit more and decided to have a break. Maintained for a few months, then gained half a stone in a matter of days. :( I'm hoping to lose the half stone, and lose another one to get down...

I've been maintaining at eleven stone for last few months and have started dieting again to get to ten stone. I'm pretty excited about getting into the 10's. :D

I'd like to lose a stone by the start of August, which is less than four months away. It's plenty of time, and gives me chance to lose it steadily. :)

A few months ago I reached my goal weight after losing two and a half stone. I was really happy and starting to feel better about myself, and then thought I'd set myself another goal - to lose another stone. But, I've gained back another half a stone from the weight I lost! I feel like I'm...

I've never been to a class either. :) I'm hoping to lose a stone by Christmas, but I'm finding it hard to sum up the motivation I had when I first started which will make it so much slower. :(

Good luck! Remember to set yourself realistic targets to begin with and then the overall goal will happen on it's own. :D

I'd like to lose 5lbs this August but know it will be difficult with the holidays. :)

I'm a couple of pounds off my goal weight after losing nearly two and a half stone over the last few months. But, i'm starting to wonder whether to stop at my goal weight or carry on for another half a stone. I just don't feel too happy with my results and i'm unsure why. :/ To start with, I...

I've been dieting since January and have lost about two stone, which i'm really happy with. But, i'd like to lose another half a stone for mid-July yet i'm finding it really hard to get back into the routine. Basically, i've not been pointing for the last two weeks, thankfully i've not...

Diabetes runs in my family and today I was out shopping for gifts. I found some diabetic friendly chocolate in thorntons and was amazed how good it was. Slightly off topic, but hey-ho! :) My dad was diagnosed about two years ago, and it's amazing how much his lifestyle has changed. Personally...

I've just ate about five chocolate chip cookies so I wouldn't worry too much ;D If you're going to binge it's best to do it on something light, like fruit. :) Don't worry about it.

I've been dieting for about 2 - 3 months now and have lost almost 2 stone. I'm really happy with the results, just feel like maybe I could push my self and lost 7 more lbs. Yet, I have been going off my diet for the past few days. Saturday; started the morning on my diet, did my excersise...

That's fantastic! I started mine as a sort of late new years revolution in January but I never actually thought i'd stick to it and it's the first time I've dieted properly. :) Two stone lost, another 7lbs for summer. :D

If you have the nutritional information of the food then you can just enter it into this online calculator. :) Weight Watchers Points Calculator I don't have the books and I've never been to a meeting, just used the online things - good luck. :)

I'm currently wearing a size 10 or 12 in tops, and a 12 or 14 in trousers. I'd love to be a size 12 on both, but we'll just see what happens. My goal is a comfortable 12 anyway. :)

I'm going to push myself and not eat any chocolate from now until Easter, and then on the day I can gradually make my way through one chocolate egg. :)

When I was thirteen and a half stone, I was losing about 2-3lbs a week. But, after losing one and a half stone i've basically lost about 2lbs over a month. I think the majority of weight loss comes in intervals, like some months you can be seeing a difference on the scales each week whereas...

I've only got another stone until my target weight! I really hope I can lose it before May. :) I've lost one and a half stone so far. :) How much to lose? & How much have you lost so far?

17 lbs but would be happy with 7 lbs. :)

It's my first and final time. :) Good luck everyone!

Mine is going to be 7lbs! :) I'd love to get below 12 stone by the end of March, it would be fantastic. good luck everyone. Losing 7lbs a month would mean I would be my target weight for June which is SUMMER! :D

I have recently found out about meat free meats such as quorn and love it. I'm planning on adding a low fat sweet and sour sauce for 1p with the 2p portion of chicken pieces then adding some peppers and onions to make a 3-4p Chinese styled sauce. :)

Give yourself freedom then you won't be tempted to give up. I find the best way to do this is to allow yourself to have treats every now and again, but make yourself work for them. Like an hour of exercise or just simply waiting an hour after dinner so that you feel fuller for longer. Find...

that's great! :) well done.

When I first started I found it really difficult to eat all the points, and I was eating something like 12 - 14 points a day (discovery). But after a few weeks you start to get use to it and start choosing foods which make up all your points. :) Good luck. :)

That's fantastic! Plus, well done on the size 12. :)

Don't worry about it! It's only human to want a treat once in a while without having to point foods. The other week I had a day off pointing and had a takeaway, but I didn't eat under points the following week and still lost weight! It normally takes an awful lot to gain weight. And so what if...

I've also had a 2lbs gain. :( I've never gone over my daily amount and don't have treats. I finally got under the 13 stone mark by 3lbs and now I've just put them back on again, i've tried so hard. :(

Thanks for the tips! My dad always puts water on them before so that it doesn't dry the food out, i'll give it a ago. :)

Was it take-away or bought frozen from the shop? :)

I've swapped white bread&pasta for brown. I've swapped coca-cola for sugar free orange squash. I've swapped chocolate for fruit. I've started eating breakfast every single morning. I've started eating more vegetables I thought I didn't like. It's starting to turn into a lifestyle now and I...

I'm going to start making some of my own recipe WW meals to put in the freezer, i'm just wondering how people freeze them? Do you just put them in the freezer and then heat them up or add some kind of liquid first? Any tips would be great! :)

Tonic is right. They used the most extreme of diets to get viewers. There's nothing wrong with having a low fat dessert or a WW ready meal every now and again. Please don't let them put you off, as long as you are having a balanced diet it's fine.

Full fat foods don't give you spots, migraines or make you moody which is a plus point. But how about in the long run? Fat builds up and can cause things like narrowed arteries and heart attacks which is so much worse! The idea of weight watchers is to lose weight by limiting the amount of...

It sounds like detox! The trick is to drink plenty of water, and keep hydrated.

I am 24 lbs away from my goal! But that's the goal I picked at the start to bring me down to a healthy BMI, but I am already starting to get into size 10 clothes so I think maybe another 10 lbs and i'll be happy. :) well done & good luck everyone!

10 pounds= chemical additives an American consumes each

Don't worry about it! :) you are already doing so well! Just remember everyone needs a treat once in a while without having to count points. Pretend it never happened and focus on the future. Good luck! :)

That's fantastic! Keep up the good work. :)

Don't worry about it! We are all allowed to have a treat sometimes, and it's just not the same knowing you've got to count it all. Just pretend it never happened and focus on the next week you're doing great! :)

I usually wear a size 12 but when I went shopping the other day they only had sizes 10 and 14 left, so I tried the 10 and it fitted perfectly! I then went and bought a size 12 from another shop which fitted really well but it turned out it was on the wrong hanger and was a 10 as well! I'm...

I've recently found this calculator which works out both discovery and PP points from regular food. Just thought it would be useful to have bookmarked. Weight Watchers Points Calculator Some of you will probably know how to anyway. :)

People have lost so much on the discovery plan which is why I don't understand the propoints. I will always stick to the old plan. :)

wow, that's fantastic! well done! :D

Well done! :D

I'm not a big fan of ready meals in general but the WW ones are actually delicious! And at only £1 per meal it's not bad. :) I love the cottage pie, I don't do the PP plan but it's something like 200 calories [4 discovery points] which is really low compared to other meals. It's filling and...

I never use my activity points and hardly ever count them. It's mainly because I find exercise as more of a hobby then a way of losing weight. :)

I'd love to walk around in summer full of confidence, that'd be fantastic! I think I'd achieve that by being happier with myself and feeling pride for coming so far. There's so many success stories on here which just make you carry on. :)

I'm sure we both will do :) I guess it's all about sticking to it.

I usually weigh in on Wednesday's, but I did it on Friday because I felt like i'd lost something. :)

thanks so much! :) I actually think that might be the reason I haven't lost, i'll just hope for this weekend. :)

Don't you just hate stepping on the scales to find out that you haven't lost anything? That happened to me yesterday and I feel devastated. I've stuck to the diet all week, exercised frequently and eaten no more than twenty points (discovery) per day. Yet, I still haven't lost anything! I've...

I know how you feel. I've tired so hard to stick to this diet, at first I lost about 4 pounds and now I am not losing any! I really feel like giving up but then I just look at all them days I have already done and think what a waste it would be, seriously don't give up! Try to resist those...

I sometimes do that! But I walk around loads during the day and I am always doing house work so I like to think that me doing all this has burnt off the one bite I had during the day! :) don't worry about it, it's not like you're eating a full pizza! :D

well, I have been doing it as every 50 calories = 1 point. It might not be correct but it's been working for me so far. :) good luck! :D

I am on the old points plan and have been eating under all week. So, on monday I had 16 points, tuesday 18 points, wednesday 15 points and so on... I also exercised for about two hours yesterday and didn't count them activity points. Today I have eaten 14 points and I am thinking about having...

wow, well done on the weight loss! that's fantastic. :) I'm pretty sure it happens to everyone, so there's nothing to worry about. I think you're doing a great job! :D

Ooooh, thanks for the advice guys. :) I've never been a fan of ready meals and always opted for healthy cooking, but it's difficult when people in the house are having something different. I'll give them recipes a go during the week! :D

wow, that's a nice jacket. :) I want to be toned for summer in roughly about five months, so when it's cold and miserable and i'm feeling hungry; I just think of those summer days to come! :D

Before I started this diet I always had home-made meals, never ready meals or takeaways. But, this is the first time I've ever dieted so I am kind of looking for low point meal ideas from WW. :) Do you guys have any ideas? :)

Read the date guys, 2008. ;) They are the old points. :D

I'm just wondering what most people prefer to have? Healthy home-made or weight watchers ready meals? :) I think that the WW ready meals are really nice and an easy way of keeping track of the precise amount of points eaten. However, home-made are more tailored and are good for a change but I...

Same here! I've been snacking on WW chocolate cookies all day as a substitute. :D Just remember, it will all be worth it. :)

Hm, I don't go by the pro-points scheme so I don't really know. But, my dad was diagnosed with diabetes about three years ago so he completely changed his diet. He basically eats either wheetabix, a bowl of porridge or some toast for breakfast. Now, you said these sorts of things slow down...

Hm, I love the WW snacks. :) I've recently started buying these goAhead bars which I think satisfy both sweet and hunger. They are about 50 calories a slice which is 1 regular point, not sure about propoints though. :) I'd give them a shot. They are about £1 from the CO-OP on offer, and have 15...

Wow, that's fantastic! Well done! :D

Oooh, thanks for the tips. :) I plan what i'm going to have for breakfast and dinner, just not all the snacks. And, it's good to know you can still have chinese as long as you include it in your points! :D thanks, and good luck to you as well! :)

I would love to do it, but I don't think anybody would run it with me. :/

I always thought that WW would be really expensive and you would have to eat things like ready meals all the time, but I have been proven wrong. :) I have only recently began using the old points system and buying the products and I have to say they are really nice! I'm not a big fan of lasagne...

WW Medatarinian Vegetable Pasta - 4 points in total :) Sorry, I don't know pro-points. (:

I swear clothes retailers are making their sizes smaller! I went shopping the other day and saw a size 14 jacket which was about an inch bigger than the size 8, it's ridiculous how skimpy they are making their clothes nowadays! I honestly think you are doing a fantastic job! Many people...

I've already lost 4 pounds! :D

I have started calorie counting instead of other diets because I find this one much easier to stick to in the future. However, I'm starting to wonder how it actually works. I'm eating on average 1500 calories or less a day, and the calculator says that I should be having 2500 a day. So, I am...

That's great. :) I'd say you aren't over doing it, but as long as you enjoy these exercises then you should continue to do them. :D

When I exercise all my make-up runs, my hair goes all sweaty and all my skins goes red, ahaa. I guess it's all this a part of the process? My friend also goes really red when she exercises, come to think about it - the majority of them do! Don't worry about it, trust me it's nothing. :)

I do streetdancing, which is sort of like zumba. :) When I first started, I found it so hard to keep up and it just confused me. But then a few weeks later, all the new ones were finding it hard to keep up with me even though I am bigger than them. Plus, the teachers/instructors are generally...

I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong thread, I only joined today. :| People keep on saying that muscle weighs more than fat, and it's starting to make more sense to me. I weigh about 13st, and wear a size 12/14 which I don't think sounds right? I'm not really sure, but anyway more to the...

Streetdancing - twice a week, for one hour and a half. For the first half an hour we generally do fitness. So, 60 sit ups, 60 lunges on each leg, 60 squats, 60 crunches and 60 press ups. As well as holding the unbearable planche for one minute! Then we move on to the dancing, for an hour. And I...

You're doing really well! :D

Welcome. :)

Hey, I'm new to the site and sort of nervous? :D My main reason for losing weight is confidence. I find it really hard to eat in public, so I generally resort to not eating all day and then having one healthy meal when I get home and then loads of sugary snacks. This has made me really weak...

I'm pretty sure you would. :)
