A new discovery for anyone going sweetener free - Liberte strained Greek 0% fat yoghurts, bought mine in asda. Natural is free, the strawberry or blueberry fruit layers are just 1 syn a pot, and they're really lovely! No sweeteners and not masses of sugar either.

I've just restarted SW - I don't use artificial sweeteners, I'm giving the old fry light a try. I just eat a lot of plain fat free Greek yoghurt with fruit, far nicer and more filling than mullerlights!

Teriyaki pork and veg. 138g lean pork fillet, sliced, stirfried with red and yellow peppers, tenderstem broccoli, exotic mushrooms and wilted spring greens with a sachet of co op teriyaki sauce. 9PP in total.

Nice one chicken! X

Good luck at WI tonight Hannah xx

*highfive* Iirc you have a fair bit to lose like me too? Come on, let's make 2012 our year. X

Prawn stirfry with noodles and hoisin sauce. I'm yet to point it up but I have 36 points left for today so it should be fine!

I remember you from my last go round on ww, hannata! We must be in sync. I've restarted this week too, doing it online though. Need to get running again snd make it work this time. Maybe we can chivvy each other along! Good luck with your first week.x

My daughter suffers with severe constipation as a side effect of her medical condition and we attend constipation or 'demi' clinic. She takes a medication called Movicol which you might want to ask your doctor for. It doesn't create dependence but works like lactose to hold water on your...

Thanks hannata-I'll give it a go! I've always been dubious, it seems too much to enable weight loss, you know?

I checked this with my leader and yes, on propoints fruit is still free if blended or cooked. However, if it's tinned it has to be drained of the juice to be zero points, and dried fruit and fruit juice must still be pointed.

Hi ladies and gents. I need a boot up the bum to stop me going off the rails today! I am 4 weeks in to ww and had 2 weeks of really good losses. However, I then started a running programme and have been running every other day for the last 2 weeks. Last week I sts and this week I lost just...

Starkissed, I am doing the couch to 5k - using an iPhone app called get running, bug you can download podcasts for mp3 too. Just coming to the end of week 2 and I'm loving it! I am blogging about it if you want a peek- http://afatchickrunning.blogspot.com

Between November and January I lost a stone on pro points. I have a lot to lose and at the time I was also breastfeeding, and was eating 53 points a day. I still lost the weight. Hormonal fluctuations, your body hanging on to fluid, starting exercise,all those can temporarily make it seem like...

I eat a few-I get loads of points due to the amount I have to lose-45 a day, sometimes I struggle to eat all those!

Gutted-sts today and I have stuck within my points! My leader thinks it's because I've started running, luckily she reads my blog so she knows I've been doing a lot of exercise. Still, pants, feel very deflated!

As long as you have just 1 tbsp, tomato purée is 0 points. 2 tbsp or more and you have to point it.

Thanks lovely girls! I have started running using the couch to 5k programme and it's a killer! Hope it will bring more good losses though. I need pounds off to make up for this pain!

Another 3.5pm off this week-thrilled to bits!

Oh, count me in! I've lost 5.5lb so far.

It's been playing up since yesterday for me, but the iPhone app seems fine.

Back on the plan after a break due to illness, WI this morning an 5.5lb off in week 1! Thrilled to bits!

Has anyone ever weighed on the boots in store electronic scale/fat monitor machines and have any idea if there's much of a difference in how heavy they weigh you? Couldn't get to meeting on time this morning due to ice but got there when meeting should have still been wrapping up, but hall...

Are you using the extra out of your weekly allowance or are you going over your weekly points?

Don't eat raw veg, make a yummy warming point free vegetable soup and snack on that. SO much nicer in the cold. I'm having roast butternut and red pepper soup for lunch and I'm looking forawrd to it!!

Hi camavamax! I'm an ex-slimming world user, as are my mum and sis and we all prefer WW. You can join a class once your baby is 6 weeks old. You can follow the plan whilst breastfeeding - I am still feeding my son who is 7 months. Talk to your leader about your additional point allowance, on...

Thanks girls, I know you're right - I've fitted into 2 pairs of trousers that were way too small a few weeks ago and a lot of people have said that the weightloss is noticeable and looks like more than 6lb! SO I shouldn't lose heart but it would have been nice to see a shift on the scales...

WI this morning and I STS. I've been really good and tracked 100%. I know it will probably show next week, but I'm a bit put out!!

Quorn cottage pie. Made with 200g quorn mince, 6tsps gravy granules, 80g peas and packed with free veg (leek, mushrooms, courgette) and topped with carrot and swede mash it made 3 good sized pies, at 3PP each!! Two for the freezer and one with which I will shortly be filling my face...

I buy the packs of Ritter Sport chocolates from Aldi. They do some really nice varieties and are 2PP each. Because they are individually wrapped it's easier to leave some unwrapped in the pack for another day! Also those Cadbury Magic Elves with the popping candy are 2PP and a nice little treat.

Put the food down. Get online and find yourself the outfit you woudl love to wear in the size you'd like to be. Underwear and all, I recommend something really foxy and borderline-sluttish. Then go and have a nice steamy bath with some yummy smelling unguents in, take a cup of tea or coffee...

Brinner! 3 quorn sausages 5pp 3 poached eggs 6pp huge pile of mushrooms dry sauteed with a dash of worcestershire sauce 0pp tin of chopped tomatoes with herbs 0pp 2 tbsp HP sauce 1pp HUGE and yummy, I was really hungry!

Regular cold, yes. Fever, chills, muscle aches - no. IME exercise when I have a mild cold helps me feel better!

Hey, go on Danni! Is he nice?;)

Nice one Anthony! Looks like PP is working well for you. Enjoy your dinner, you deserve it!!

The mince pie cakes are just your regular vanilla sponge mix with some mincemeat chucked in!

That'sa brilliant acheivement mimsickle, well done you!!

I had a mince pie one, and it was bloomin' gorgeous (if I do say so!). But tasted very very sweet, my tastebuds must be adapting already!

Pics of my masterpieces! tiny Christmas Kisses cupcakes (2PP!) Mince pie ones on left, vanilla on right

It's DD's school christmas fair tomorrow and I currently have over *72* frosted cupcakes in boxes on my dining room table to take in to be sold. Half are plain vanilla, the other half are Mince Pie Cupcakes, with mincemeat mixed into the batter and a spiced caramel flavour frosting. I have...

I had a chicken breast, roast in foil with no fat (did ones wrapped in ham with cheese for husband and daughter). Roasted carrots and celery; brocolli, sauteed leeks with a little low far spread and sugar snap peas/mangetout. Made a roasted red pepper sauce - roasted 1 red pepper, blended down...

My leader has a card machine.

Well done for going! It's the worse when you're dreading weigh in, so big respect! It will come off again, don't fret!

hahaha! Technically he was 10lb 12oz but close enough that I'm rounding up. Don't fear for my fajango though ladies, he was a planned C section baby anyway! Though I did nearly fall off the table in theatre when they weighed him. I'd had a scan the week before he was born and they told me he...

Antibiotics can cause horrendous water retention, they do something in your intestines that irritates them slightly and causes you to retain water. If you have a gain, it is bound to be water weight. Stay focused on the plan and once you're off the antibiotics and feeling better all that water...

That willpower was rewarded, another 3lb off this week!

my first mini goal is to lose my son's birthweight - 11lb - so 5lbs left to go before xmas!

Just chop up a load of veg - I used onion, celery, fennel, courgette, peppers and aubergine - then saute it all in a big pan with a splash of water till softened a bit. Chuck in some chopped garlic, mixed herbs, pinch of chilli flakes, a splash of worcestershire sauce and a tin of chopped toms...

Let's have a nice cheery feelgood thread to close the week! Post one thing that's made you really proud of YOURSELF this week. Diet or non diet related, just big yourself up!! I'm really proud of myself for taking my daughter to a kids' party this afternoon, being faced with a HUGE buffet...

You can do it! I want to get my 5% by Xmas as well. We'll have a great headstart on all the New Years dieters!

I just had a massive plate of brunch - grilled back bacon 1pt per rasher, poached eggs 2pts each, tinned toms and dry fried mushrooms 0 points.

I'm in the Valleys near Caerphilly, so not too far from you! You have done so well on CD so far, congratulations! I bet you're so pleased with your loss.

WW have tested the plan so that if you eat all your daily points plus all your weekly ones you should still lose weight. They are there to use to help you feel like you aren't being deprived of treats! SO go ahead and use them however you want.

You'll go in and probably do all your paperwork with a 'helper' as the leader will be weighing. Then you'll weigh privately with the leader to get your starting weight. Most leaders then run class as normal then do a 'new members talk' after class, so you will be there a little longer the...

He doesn't, really! Well, except in the car. Which is not a great time for me to nap! DH has a day off on Tuesday, might get him to take the kids out for an hour. That'll be something to look forward to.

I have a seven month old that abhors sleeping. I'll be getting some sleep in about 2015, I think! He's usually not as bad as he was last night, I run on about 5hrs a night and that's fine, but he's teething!!

I am rubbish at saving money, so I have asked my mum to save some for me - I am giving her £2 for every lb I lose, to give myself a little clothing slush fund when I finally reach my goal weight. It's my birthday in a few weeks and there's nothing much I want, I don't want clothes as I'm hoping...

Nah, I want to stay up and watch CIN! I'm very sad, I know. Besides, he'll be up again at about 11 so I might as well stay up till then!

I made a quorn based italian layer bake which is my own invention, sort of the mutant lovechild of a lasagne and a moussaka. Diced onions, peppers and courgettes dry-sauteed with quorn mince then garlic, tin of toms, jar of passata, splash of worcestershire sauce and italian seasoning, simmered...

Sorry, ignore me, I'm prone to misinterpreting tone when I've only had 2 hours sleep! :4635:

I'm pretty sure everyone understood what I meant, which was 'starchy simple carb-based foods'.

Glad it isn't just me! Pistachio, I'm pretty sure that the amount of choc I was eating before I started WW would have triggered a spotfest if it was sugar - I'm just trying to convince myself that it's a sign of inner cleansing....

I like a raspeberry soy smoothie - 1/2pt Alpro Light soya milk with a handful or two of frozen raspberries (leave them frozen) and a tsp of honey. 3PP and gorgeous, like a sorbet!

I'm a meat eater, though I was veggie for ten years - but I actually find myself opting for veggie alternatives more and more because Quorn gets you more bang for your buck! I've been eating quorn pieces in stir fries, quorn sausages and am making a quorn moussaka this week. I've sent off for...

Anyone else suddenly have problem skin since starting PP? Mine has broken out something chronic, I feel like a teenager again (not a bad thing really, I'm 30 in 2 weeks....) I've figured it has to be having some kind of detox effect, because like someone said in another thread I have hardly...

I made a yummy 0 point vegetable chilli last night after a recommendation on here. You could have a huge portion of that on top of a jacket spud and just point the spud. It's really filling.

Thank you all very much! Hope everyone else is enjoying Propoints. x

Lost 3lb in week 1!

Yay, had meeting this morning and have lost 3lb! Super chuffed as I have PCOS and find it hard to lose weight. Hurrah for propoints!

I had a bit of a 'treat' lunch of piles of bacon and poached eggs on a toasted muffin so dinner is a trim 7-pointer of 1/2 pack quorn pieces, loads of 0 point stir fry veggies and my own satay sauce (heaped tbsp of peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce and pinch of chili flakes).

They contain juice, which is still pointed. If you make your own smoothie you still have to add milk/juice/yoghurt so it would still be points.

That's a wonderful loss WillowFae, well done you!

Do you have to eat all the points in your daily allowance... or is it ok not to as long as you eat at least 29? I have a massive. ridiculous PP allowance of 54 daily, due to my age/weight and the fact that I am still breastfeeding, but there is no way I could eat all those points every day and...

I'm really loving it too. I did WW before I fell pregnant with my son, and did well, but the new Plan is great, and I'm loving the 0 point fruit aspect. I had a really yummy and filling brekkie this morning of toasted muffins, poached eggs and grilled grapefruit all for 8 points and I just...

Hello! I am Dharma, I'm joining here for some support as my new weight loss journey starts on Monday! I lost several stone before my wedding in 2009 with WW, and fell pregnant right before the wedding. My son is now seven months old and I no longer have a postnatal excuse for being flabby...
