I don't really think about how much I have left to lose, gets a bit depressing, I think about little goals rather than the massive mountain I created lol! Think my new target is 150 lb total by my 30th so thats roughly 47 lbs in 50weeks. x

Ooh ooh me! I've lost 7st 5lb so far, still someway to go tho. But it can be done! I started in Oct 2010 and it suits me, I'm learning about portion control but not constantly hungry.. the zero pp fruit and veg definitely helps! And I eat chocolate every day! I guess I've learnt to chill out a...

I'm an online user, I love their website, only downside is that android users only have access to a points calculator not the full iPhone app but there are imitations out there. Plus I lurk on here for ideas!

I find it does make a difference, whether I subconsciously eat less. When I don't drink enough I find that I get bloated

Step away from the scales lol ... I only weigh on a Monday morning, with a sneek peek on a Saturday... My weight fluctuates and goes up during the week, if I keep standing on the scales I find it depresses me and will have a negative effect. Do u track all your food to the last mouthful as I...

I love the look of that coleslaw... How did u make it?

I still have something chocolatey every day.... Can't do without it, I did start off with crunchies. But now I have mini milks -1pp, curly wurlys - 3pp, Tesco value caramel or chocolate wafers - 2pp, ummm aero ice creams, wispa ice creams, caramac ice creams all 3pp.. anything like that and it...

102 lbs since Oct 2010... Just under 1.5lb a week I think

When I checked it last week it was 2pp for half, 5pp for a whole one ... Thought they were lovely

Tesco do a value rangecaramel wafers and chocolate wafer... Bit like blue ribands. Pack of 5 for 40p ... 2pp each, and more than edible!

2month old horse .... Haha

Yay... I can now join!! 102lb off!

First thing not to do is think stuff it... Tomorrow/today is a new day, don't go over your points for the rest of the week... I would avoid weekly points. Can you add some exercise? Walking or even playing on the Wii... For me drinking plenty of water helps.... Possibly keeps me full but I like...

I had 2 tonight...so naughty tasting! Lush lush lush

Oh and a diary is essential in my opinion, I go to paperchase and splash out on beautiful notebooks ;)

Good luck, keep your goals in your head, reward yourself if you need to... Most of all try to enjoy it!! I'm loving it, eating lots of new food, enjoying exercise...and so far 7st off. xx

I had 2 Ross boil in bag fish in butter sauce - 5pp, 150g Tesco potato wedges - 6pp and lots of zero veg. Very tasy it was too,but burnt my finger on the steam from the fish - doh!

Monday - 1hr walk Tuesday - circuits session (cardio boxing and some resistance) Wednesday - 1hr walk Saturday - 2hr walk Sunday - bike ride ,anything from 20 mins to an hour

You've made my day.... 2 slices of milk roll and I'd have some chip butties... 4pp...excellent.

I've got a bit of an odd one, but I've just started cycling again - losing weight has given me confidence to get back on it again, anyway, my Mum told me the highlight of her birthday was seeing me turn up on my bike for her birthday tea.. for me that's an nsv lol

Tiny goals, a stone or half a stone at a time.. Remembering how sluggish I felt before I started. I find recording my achievements and not enjoying the disappointed feelings.. For me that is my will power is how I want this to last, don't want to be the yo yo dieter and I want nice clothes not...

Well I've just hit my end of march target of 6.5st. So onwards to my 100lb, another 7lb between now and mid may.. Then I am having a pair of dr marten boots as my reward and an incentive for the rest of this long ol road! I am now in the 17's for the first time in years so that's pretty darn...

Aww that's amazing! Like it when you get into clothes you don't expect to. Today I can see a faint outline of my collar bones :-) Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

The very quick rule is that as ww no longer has half points. So if a slice of bread is technically 1.3pp a slice if you multiply by 2 that is 2.6 pp, as 2.6 is closer to 3 that's the value of the bread.. Hope this makes sense, I'm sure others might be able to explain this far better. Sent from...

Hi I had a blip a few months ago and found by swapping foods about it started to get the weight off again. Do you keep a food diary and track everything? It becomes a lot easier to figure out what's happening. I learnt I can't eat lots of bread or have a lot of alcohol anymore.. There is a...

I agree with the above statement,26pp is the lowest WW will let you go. And its on a gradual reduction to help ensure your body does not enter starvation. Have you tried adding some full fat products to your diet rather than fat free - like milk and cheese? As some fat is required in a diet...

Hiya we all do it, personally I just stick to my dailies and try and pit a couple of extra exercise sessions in... your weeklys are they to be abused ;) scales may not be as bad as you think if you get back on it now. I also up my water intake ... encourage a bit of a detox sort of thing x Sent...

Hi , I've had an official response from WW on pointing veg, if its zero point you do not point it at all.. I think some leaders were trying to encourage portion awareness but have accidentally caused confusion. If I've used a stock cube I do add a pp on.. just so I am aware of it. Sent from my...

I don't because I'm trying to educate myself that I need to exercise to get fit and improve my health and not so I can eat more lol (im an overeater so I need to teach myself a few basic rules) to be honest I'm pretty full on what I have now but I'm allowed 40pp a day. But I do know some people...

Ooh I'm not the only one! I'm a Monday morning online member. Joined in Oct 2010 and hit my 6st loss today... gotta say I am finding this a much more relaxed way of doing it.. might be why I've done so well this time. Good luck everyone! xx Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

First of all you're human, so you cannot be 100% 24/7 ... so. Let's draw a line under this. Accept you have not made the right choices so far but you know what you need to get what you want. Keep a diary for the next few days,be totally honest in it and try not to use any weeklys. When we fall...

I don't eat my activities, I don't count them either. For me I don't want to use exercise as an excuse to eat rubbish, and I'm trying to ensure I keep to sensible portions. I exercise to aid weightloss and get fit, not so I can eat extra chocolate lol!! xx Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Haha yeah, I would rather have proper walkers etc but £2-3 for 12 bags,it ain't happening. The wispa ice cream bars are in Tescos near the magnums etc box of 4 four £1.25 ... for me they beat a WW dessert every time, less pp and cheaper. Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Fruit, veg, low pp snacks .. houmous.. zero point soup. Or paint your nails... do something that makes eating really hard, after 15mins you may have gotten over the "pangs" . A very slim girl told me she always had a glass of water first if she felt hungry, and if she felt hungry 20mins later...

Absolutely agree with trying to work out the best food for weight loss, at the moment I eat as little bread as possible, and also biscuits are out for me too... that really kick started the weight loss again. Also try a new recipe each week - I batch make my lunches . So every week I'm eating...

I really like them, I have a box each week. It depends on what u like. Me I'm sweet lover so the dippers, dried fruit is all fab for me as I'd rather use my points on something with nutritional value as opposed to junky style snacks. I don't have the wasabi peas as I don't like them. My boxes...

Just had a response from WW on twitter, fruit DOES NOT need to be pointed at any volume, all they say is have a healthy diet and listen to your body signals when you fill up. Obviously kilos and kilos of fruit a day isn't advised lol! I think perhaps the leaders are trying to educate ppl to...

Ok, I've just had a response from WW on twitter. They say that you can eat more than "one portion of fruit" at 0pp and to eat within a balanced diet. So the pointing seems to be misinformation, and we should be listening to our body when we are full. We are all different and some can eat more...

Ahhh I had this last week! Started with me missing a circuits session, then showing no self control when I made Traybake and proceeded to eat some(stopped myself by chucking it in the bin and pouring ricotta cheese over it) and then failed to plan on Saturday so had a takeaway with a large...

I put weight on last year but my head wasn't in it then. In fact the only time I've lost weight over Christmas was when I was on WW a few years ago. So hopefully I will be ok this year, I've just hit 5 stone loss and my head is in the right place so I think its possible. Just making a few plan...

Whilst I get what you are saying, after losing 4 stone on slimming world (currently 4st 5 with ww)I can certainly see the benefits however phrasing in books and magazines saying "pile this on" have large serving etc, it can be of a detriment to people who require a different type of support and...

Hi, I've just found out that I'm going out for a team meal next week.. pizza express has been mentioned... does anyone have any ideas on how to survive apart from eating the coasters? Lol thank you x

Hi to be honest I normally use a tiny bit of frylight,garlic clove and some garlicy philly.. butter is a bit of a no no. Interested to hear if anyone else has a better idea

As others have said we are only human , bad days are allowed! Just have low pp food for the rest of the day and track carefully and honestly for the rest of the week... you might be able to fix any possible issues! Hang in there!

I use about 20 of my weeklys ... anymore and it can stifle the weight loss. But I am allowed 44 daily so they keep me going(it'll change I'm sure lol)

I had ham salad sarnies (made with milk roll and small wholemeal bread) with a lovely bowl of homemade tomato and roasted pepper soup all for 9pp. Absolutely delicious.

The chilli and wedges save the day at 6pp.. I normally have 2 tho at the moment as I can have a lot of points. Chicken hotpot was edible too.

They're ace, I make quesadillas with them... heaven!! Bit of pepper, little bit of ham and cheese, slice tomato,mushrooms... nom nom

Hiya I've made the change too, I've lost 50lbs in about 44 weeks, slow and steady wins the race !! Weeklys... use them!! I only use about 20-30 but I do have a lot of pps to start with . I love them as my release valve when you have a spur of the moment thing,or chocolate fix required!! Good luck

Hi, sorry to hear you are having a hard time. Like you I am a comfort eater but this time I'm determined to shake the weight and change my attitude to food.at the moment I am telling myself I am not to eat when angry even fruit and I write down everything I eat and also keep a bit of a journal...

How many pp is milk roll... forgotten how awesome that is!

Sorry I meant to add, sainsburys have a much better ready meal range... but I try to cook from scratch as I'm concerned about salt levels too

I really like the chilli and wedges frozen meal.. not masses of meat bit it has some flavour and great for a hurry. And their little ice cream pots save the day.

That was my problem too... I need the portion control, I was never going to slim down by eating a kilo of pasta everyday and the syns just felt like I was punishing myself for eating an extra slice of bread. But I did lose 4st on it so it did work

Never tried them , I read up on them on the interwebs and various forums and all I remember is the term "alli oops" cropping up at a scarily frequent rate lol... The side effects are frightening - well they are to me :S

Oh wow that sounds awesome

Good luck! I'm sure you will be fine :) x

Crunchies are 5pp, galaxy bubbles are 5pp too.

Yay! Well done you! I've lost my Xmas weight now, I totally agree, this diet, regime, way of eating .. whatever works, and I'm so relaxed too with it

I have loads to lose, but taking it a step at a time. I too have a stash of low point munch food.. pink and whites and crunchies atm with some frozen desserts.. I find its helping me a lot

On normal weeks I don't use them all, but on more social weeks or hungry weeks then I do use most of them, I love them!

I've just got home and checked out my tracker and it is 7pts for 100g (woo my memory does work! :D)

Mccains 100g is 7pp if my memory is correct. I only know this as I had some this weekend

I have days where I really have to push myself to eat all my points, its great, and even when im having a hungry day I can keep myself satisfied. So far so good, hoping i'll hit 2st mark this week!

No idea - only I remember something I've been told in the past, some weeks its inches you lose and sometimes it lbs.. are you taking measurements? perhaps that might be something to test for a month?

Even more reason to stick with it - I fitted into my pink croc wellies, finally! and I tried on the dress I need to fit into in 4 weeks time and its tight but getting there and it looks like I have a waist too... no mince pies, pringles or roses for me!! lol hang in there all! xx

A pint of milk seems a lot to me? I don't think I have ever been able to do that! Lol

A tin of Heinz chicken noodles soup is 3pp, and its quite tasty too. I'm in a bit of a soup addiction atm, so I also make veg soups - zero veg all blitzed together, very tasty and very cheap

My oh knows not to buy me chocolate etc this year, however our local supermarket do big bags of quavers - they are next to the pringles and things and are 10pp for the entire bag so I have a bag of those for when I want a big munch. One day won't kill the diet as long as its just that and you...

I'm still here! I've got a wedding to go to in January. Cannot afford to stop ! Bought a dress that's a bit tight so lots of walking and copious amounts of water and fruit! Lol

For me SW taught me to cook fresh healthy food and that habit is set with me now, but I need the control for my tendancy to overeat and binge. So WW is working for me at the moment. As others have said both have their benefits, however I did struggle if I wanted a takeaway and some alcohol - it...

Hi Does anyone have the pp for Apple Sourz per shot And a measure of Malibu? Have a Christmas party tonight and I know these will be featuring at some point lol. Thank you!

Howdy Peas and potatoes have points, but salad veg - lettuce, cucumbers, peppers tomatoes etc are zero hurrah!

I've had 2 hungry days and I dipped into my points both days (how I love pp for this) but yesterday I was 10 under . I do have a lot of points to use daily but still! I think the cold is playing a big part

On weeks like this I remember what a SW leader said to me. Sometimes its inches not pounds you lose. Keep going and as others have said perhaps this weeks efforts are in the bank ready for next week !

homemade chilli soup - lots of veg and chilli powder (it was a test for the batch I made for work) 2pp - thats for the kidney beans and the olive oil. Bit too much heat for me but I will cope!! With a couple of potato farls - as i fancied them today. Perfect for the cold weather!

If I had enough posts registered here I would thank you!! that is very interesting reading Cheers! x

No you are not mad, you would be mad not to weigh in though (you never know unless you try). If you have put weight on, ok it wont feel great but perhaps you can ask your leader to go through things with you - its that bit of knowledge you would miss if you didnt go. Good luck - you will lose...

Like you I have loads to lose, I want to go to Canada for my 30th with my oh, I want to enjoy it and be able to walk everywhere and not be held back. I'm on ww because I need the portion control element, this time I'm making little targets 5% body weight, 10% etc. For me I'm trying to allow a...

I normally get the spots for a couple of weeks and then it settles down and my skin improves massively.. I think its a detox thing too

Was craving a proper chicken kebab from the local van so... I had a wholemeal pitta (4pp), 180g chicken (4pp), turkey rashers (3pp), bacon medallions (2pp), salad and homemade coleslaw (cabbage carrot and onion with low fat mayo 2pp) HEAVEN!! looking at it now it looks like a right meat feast...

that... sounds... awesome... I will definitely be trying that one out!

the online thingy seems to be right now.. i chowed down a crunchie and it said it was 5pp

well according to my tracker 165g cooked is 5... not so bad?

Its the pasta that makes it high, I used the online tracker - 125g mince beef is 7, and then like you I use chopped toms and zero veg.. but if I wasnt such a porky piglet I could probably split that into 2 meals... atm I don't need to do that. 60g dried pasta is 6.. well thats how I do it...

aww, I think many of us can sympathise as we have been there.. but perhaps you need to either weigh yourself now.. bring the blip to a close and look forward as you are only guessing whats happened at the moment and probably making yourself feel even more guilty. Or stay away from the scales...

Ooh mashed cauliflower? That's a good tip! It's so refreshing to read so many lovely tea ideas when we are on a "diet".

well I looked at the tracker and it said 180g was 4pp, I used 2 x 250g potatoes and I know I had less than half of what was there so whilst I wasnt being exact I know I didnt have a lot - and I had some points left over today - so I had a teeny bit of wiggle room. But I know what you mean, I...

2 low fat sausages - 5pp 2 small scoops of mash - 4 lots of zero veg onion gravy - 2 and it was gert lush!!!!

Well done!! its been good fun hasnt it? I've enjoyed my little bits of chocolate and trying to get the most out of my points

5.5lb off only used about 20 weekly points and had 30 activity points not used - trying not to use activity points as I don't want to get in the habit of exercising so I can eat rubbish, its more of a tracker and get out of jail card ;)

I lost 5.5lbs! Big happy smiles from me!

I know!! I didnt expect it to go that well! all we need to do is keep up the good work! x

Hahaha you are so right!!

oh my goodness, i've eaten 3 crunchies and had a controlled binge, spaggy bol and garlic bread - and I lost 5.5lb!! taking my loss to 16lb... ahhh!! so pleased! Hope all your WI's are sucessful too! x:D

congratulations! I lost 5.5 this week - 1st week on new plan, so pleased... my doubts have definitely been eased after this week. keep up the good work.

Woo!! go you!! xx

I've only used 19 of my weekly points - but boy they felt good - I've just had a lovely homemade spag bol, with garlic bread and a crunchie for pudding. It just felt nice to have a little controlled binge, I was happy to track it and its like a safety valve, released the pressure and allow me to...

I'd agree with this, I can remember once on SW that I was told to up my syns - your body needs something naughty to digest. I was barely using them for a couple of weeks, i then upped it and bang, the weight began to come off again. Good luck

I only weigh once a week... your weight fluctuates throughout the week. Are you drinking enough water? Or is it the time of the month. Half a pound could easily be water retention... don't give up. 4 days really isn't any indication of how its going just hang in there and you might surprise...

Im into my 2nd week with WW, loadsa weight to lose and Im doing it online - but this place has been a revelation to me, im definitely feeling a lot more comfortable with it all and its nice to come on here and see whats happening, and learn tips Good luck with your weight loss! x

Im liking it, next weigh in is next monday. Its taking a bit of thinking but I reckon when I've figured out what fills me up best for the least points and the least hassle I'll be good. The weekly points is actually a really nice buffer to have - so far I've not needed it but I have it ready...

I've just read all this thread and its settled my mind, I really want to do zumba now - it looks like far too much fun. They have some classes coming to my local area so I think I will check them out

good luck!! im into my 2nd week now!

they are there to be used - they are for everyday use to fit in with your lifestyle. A hot chocolate to warm the cockles on a cold night fits into that category doesnt it? I would use them for something that important!!

I'm avoiding the ww forum for a while, I was only on the other plan for a week so I hadn't had chance to get too familiar. I think a lot of it is panicking because its change but we wouldn't get anywhere if we are always like this all the time, and we all joined ww because we needed to change...

I've been here 2days and its been great, like you I have lots to lose. I think I will have xmas cracked this year - I have a wedding to go to on 15th jan - I will know very few people there so I need the confidence of a good start to the new eating to help me cope with the day. Its so...

Honestly this thread is like a weight being lifted off my shoulders!! I dread little plastic chairs, I always give a gentle wobble to an unknown chair- will it take my big bottom? And I used to love theme parks but I daren't go now, perhaps when I slim down that will be one of my rewards!! I...

3 stone is an amazing loss! for me I have oodles to lose, but im setting smaller targets - 10% etc. But for me, I think I will be happy if i get to just the overweight marker - im so fed up of being "morbidly obese" Good luck! xx

ohh I need to get to 50 posts before I can thank people... well thanks one and all in this thread!!

Is this accurate as I noticed some of the reviews said that it wasnt correct? maybe its a work in progress... p.s how do I thank someone? im trying to find it but cant!!

Im an online member, started last week and I WI tomorrow morning - so I will be mostly confused for next week lol. Although at least I haven't got too settled into the current plan. I see the website is now down so I guess the new plan will be ready soon

Hurrah an android app!! so excited for that one!! :)
