Aw that's ace :)

I'm jealous!!

I do count that as chocolate yeh, just because of the taste, but it's up to you really

Oh well at least it wasn't intentional haha, i'm soooo close to eating to chocolate, especially now it's my time of le monthh

The labyrinth! And the little mermaid :')

Ace :)

I'm just about to start breakfast at tiffany's

I'm almost regretting giving up chocolate, bread and pasta, but I'm coping as I can still have potato cakes instead of toast because I don't really do cereal lolll. at Easter I'm going to have a tower of marmite on toast with kg of White chocolate :')

Good luck David this forum will definitely help you :)

Haha sounds good

I'm doing ww unifficially well as I can't afford to pay for membership but this forum is a great help :) great idea to have your boyfriend to support

Those left behind books sound amazing, think I'm going to get the first couple. I still need to get the 2nd and 3rd of the northern lights trilogy, the first one was addictive

Good luck with the weigh in! And the mince is ace too

That's the best idea because it's something you can stick with :)

They are nice yeh, they are a bit plain but they're great for bulking up a meal and can be seasoned well, and for 1 pp they're ace :)

I think I've read jane eyre as much as you, and wuthering heights, rebecca is wonderful too.

Thank you x

Ooh I agree with you and I might have to read that book sounds interesting :)

Yeh I am an thanks

I think you will get used to it soon and it will become a habit rather then having to think/obsess about it. I can completely identiy with you, I think when you're busy it occupies your mind less, maybe you could find something to do when you think about food, something that you enjoy or...

That's a good point nicola good luck xx

Hiii my pro points calculator arrived today (yay) I worked out my daily allowance and it turned out as 34!! Can this be because I'm 19? I thought I'd only be on 29 and am a bit dubious now... I'm 5'8 13 st 10, I would really appreciate any advice? Xx

good luck you'll be brill, the first few days are the strangest but you really get the hang of it, especially if you make sure you weight everything, it's a bit of a pain at first but then you tend to gestimate weights lol. forward planning is definitely the way forwars until you get into the...

I used tins of beans (lol) when i first did it and i still felt the burn, maybe you could use these or bottles of water to begin with, and when you feel the need to move on you could get some weights?

good luck on your job interview x

yess tonic is right those were the ones i forgot

parsnips and maybe leeks? but parsnips deffo, i think any starchy root veg like that isn't free.

ooh good idea :)

ooh sounds great enjoy it :) i've just been to aldi and bought one of their massive white chocolate bars, i won't even make a dent in it though and will end up giving most of it away :')

poor you! is there no way you can keep some chopped fruit/veg/bitesize food on you at the reception that you snack on dead quick and with discretion? do they do things like grilled chicken? I can only think having a massive breakfast, snack when you're home then a big meal at 6pm? I hope you...

yep unfortunately. there are some really nice bits next to where i live, but the old town and the castle and most pubs are just like it :')

yayy haha it is exactly like that aswell

i am doing it for the same reasons, i really like the weight watchers frozen lasagnes and pepperoni pizzas, it is easier to buy them than try and make it from scratch and keep points low. don't be too hard on yourself and have a massive list to give up, i'm sure you'll do great, we're all in it...

i can imagine i'd be a right moody cow. yes we can definitely help each other :)

Ow that would be awful! and thank you :) good luck with giving up chocolate too!

Runcorn. bet no-one's heard of it... :')

When I give up chocolate i have to watch myself with everything...make sure they don't put cocoa powder on coffee if i go to a cafe, can't have choc biccies/cookies, or my go-to options hot chocolate. ohhh :/ tomorrow i'm going to have a willy wonka style chocolate celebration. i wonder if i'll...

Good for you :) I'm gonna have to push through and think about the clothes i can't hide in when the sun is shining

I agree!!

haha

yeh i've made lists and lists of all the pro points of food to make it easier to reference but have ordered a calculator off ebay to make it easier when i'm shopping or trying new things :) you definitely end up with pro points on the brain but get used to pretty quickly :) I also found that...

i never really use exact measurements but here goes: handful of cherry tomatoes cut into quaters, couple of cloves of garlic crushed, juice/pulp of about 2 limes, about a tablespoon of finely chopped coriander, a few chopped spring onions, and half a chili finely chopped (if you like it hot...

that sounds lovely! will definitely give it a go

yayyyyyyyy pancakes tomorrow :)

that is a great desert laineymcd i get the tiny meringue nest that are 3 for 1pp to satisfy my sweet tooth throughout the day. i also love a tablespoon of choc spread microwaved for 30 seconds which i dip a banana into i think it's about 2/3pp.

baked potato with tuna and a ton of veg is quite good and as long as it's a small potato is about 6/7pp. I also made a 0pp veggie soup just by roasting tomatoes, chillis (love spicy food!),garlic, onions, celery, peppers, and any other veg you can think of, then wizzed it in food processor with...

Good luck to everyone xx

I'm restarting pro points on wednesday after falling off wagon for a couple of days, good luck with your weight loss :)

Well done on your 9lb weight loss! This is a really great site, especially for tips and recipes. Good luck with your weight loss :)

I know most people have a soft spot for Mr Darcy but Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre has always been my perfect man...what about you guys, do you have a fave character?

Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Rebecca, hunchback of notre dame...i looooove gothic fiction haha

gizmochick you're right paul is hilarious! I love Seth Rogan and Simon pegg is literally the spitting image of my dad, but more ginger haha. I saw the rite in the cinema, I love Anthony Hopkins and anything about the devil/paranormal. Has any one seen my summer of love with emily blunt in? It's...

I know this is an old thread but...Jilly Cooper! though I can't really say as I've never read Jackie Collins...Polo is my fave because I loooove horses and completely fell in love with Luke.

I'm reading a few at the moment, 'hannibal' by thomas harris, i read red dragon and silence of the lambs first, and after this i will read hannibal rising. I love books like this they're fascinating. Also readins 'story of o' by pauline reage (fake pen name of author) which is a kind of...

that's sooo good :) i lost 7lb in first week too i couldn't believe it!! well done xx

well done!!

Hiya, I've just ordered these books; 'Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything' and 'Why Weight?: A Guide to Ending Compulsive Eating' both by Geneen Roth. I got them off amazon.co.uk hopefully they'll be here this week :) i read the reviews and they seem to be about creating...

please make sure you do major stretching and warm up before you do 30 day shred, i just did the warm up on the dvd but the next day my legs were agony!! maybe i'm just totally unfit, i do alot of walking but the next morning i could barely squat to sit down...so yeh warm ups and relaxations...

i wouldn't be able to go without chicken tbh :/ but could give up red meat. all carbs would be tooooo hard, they sneak into things you don't even realise :| yess i love my porridge

yeh salads are better i love berry picking in august too. it is awful waking up in the darkness, and plays havock with make up having to apply it in false light..

yess :)

well excited to try some of them :)

It's still icey cold most days but it's soooo good to see the sun again and all the daffodils appearing. I think it's so much easier for me to eat healthier as spring is approaching, I just feel happier. It's renewed my motivation to do the 30 day shred too! Does any one else find it easier in...

wow that's amazing! i always think 'shall i just continue without it..' but have absolutely no will power so that fails.i know what you mean, i don't do for religious reasons just to try and break awful diet habits :/

ooh i'm going a bit mental and giving up chocolate, bread and pasta :| i've given up choc before so hopefully i'll be able to cope! also hoping this will lead to a faster weight loss because it will force me to replace with protein and veg. i was going to give up coffee but i'd only replace it...

mm lovely ideas

I understand how you're feeling, I can't wait to finally lose my weight too so i can be confident in myself and properly enjoy life, good luck to you, you can do it!

Hiya! after doing atkins for all of two days then just giving up (could not survive without chocolate/fruit) I am 100% committed to pro points. It's not a quick fix and I'm glad it's going to re work the way i think about food while i deal with my greed... Day 1: 10/2/11 breakfast: cut up...

welcomeeee :)

Hellooo I'm a newbie, I've been on the site a few times though led on from google search so it's great to finally be a member :) I've started the new weight watchers pro points plan as of yesterday, I'm not going to meetings or anything though as i can't afford it...just spent days researching...
