I am so bad at updating on here and catching up with posts. There always seems to be some mini drama as soon as I sit down at the laptop. I lost another 2llb this week, would really love 1lb this week to make it a stone in 4 weeks! My shoes arrived but didn't fit so my bet was for nothing but I...

Thats fab, your doing really well x

Thank you ladies, still on track but been so busy so have been finding it quite easy. Irregular choice is just a brand which do lovely but quirky shoes. I have ordered my pair but still have 2 weeks until i'm allowed them! Weigh in this morning and week 2 has another 4lb off. Would love a stone...

Well week 1 is officially over and I am 7lbs lighter! Am very chuffed as I used all my daily propoints and all my weeklys. Hubby and I have a bet on, no takeaways for 4 weeks and he will buy me a pair of irregular choice shoes that I have my eye on. It has been hard as we normally eat out 3-4...

Ok i've been here and done it many many times. Never getting anywhere close to were I want to be but i've eventually had enough. Spent another holiday on the sidelines not to mention the nightmares about the planes and their tiny seats. So here I am again, basically back to the beginning apart...

Its been over 6 months since i last posted and my sisters 1st anniversary is coming up and i'm back up to 22st 12.5 at my last meeting. I rejoined a class on weds night as obviously doing it on my own isnt working :-(

I downloaded an app called ultimate value diary which was recommeded by someone on here. I love it, can use it as a food diary and has the ww propoints calcuator.

havent been on in ages, with kids off school ( 9 weeks here) my routine is out the window and my diet with it :( I am back up to 22st 5lb, back on track this morning and hoping for a 5lb loss this time to take me closer to the 21st bracket again. Hope everyone is well x

Hey flump, i am good ta, feeling abit guilty after last night but went out for a walk earlier and played just dance with the kids lol. You must have great will power to be tackling your smoking and diet at the same time. I dont smoke but my friend tried to quit a few weeks ago but found it...

Oh dear oh dear, all my good intentions to stay on track went out the window last night. Met with my old friends for dinner and we shared a starter. I had 1 slice of cheesy garlic bread, half a filled potato skin and 3 mushrooms. For dinner it was a chicken fillet topped with ham and cheese and...

Oh carly, sounds like the job from hell. Enjoy your wee treat chic xx

Had a busy day, was minding my niece who is 2 years old and a real handful. Now i'm in a foul mood and usually i would reach for something nice but am not going to do it! On the up side got plenty of walking done at the park this afternoon so burned a few more calories. Off out tomorrow night...

The propoints plan counts protein, carbs, total fat and fibre. Going by what the info is I work it out at 6pp per 50g bag tho i had to put 0 as protein as its not listed. HTH

You can do it!

http://www.bluechicagogrill.co.uk/foodmenu.php?menu=lisburn I am eating here on friday night and am on 45 pp a day. I use about 6 for breakfast, 11 for lunch and maybe 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Dont really want to use my weeklys so close to wi on sunday morning. What would you think is the...

Thats a step in the right direction having the beans on toast tho. We ate out quite abit and have really cut bk the last 3 weeks and really noticed the difference money wise x

Well done girls great losses x

Ooohhh whats the facebook page?

If u need any help i'll try my best to point you in the right direction x

I joined a class when it first changed to propoints and got the new books and then used the forums on here and google helped fill in the blanks. I've just re-started and into my 3rd week and am 11lbs down and dont feel like i'm on a diet x

Hey, when you join they will give you the books and a paper wheel to work out the points. I did buy a calculater but then downloaded a free app to work out the points. I find it easier and more handier. Good luck x

Following your diary, cant wait to read your progress x

Hey Flumpet, i have lots to loose as well probably about 10 st in total. Seems such a long journey but am determined to get there this time. I dont go to class either as i hate to go on my own. Good luck x

Such a long day today. I work 10 till 2, then bk in again at 4-7.30. Then had to go to school to watch a play so only home now and an starving. Sent hubby to the chinese for a breast of chicken chow mein and have 21 points left so that should cover it.

Wow well done Debbie x

Thanks Lulu, will have to search for them one's next time i'm in tesco x

For those who don't know me i started my weight loss journey at 24st. I now weigh 21st 10lb but it has taken to now to realise that i have just been playing at it and when things get tough i give up and try a new diet. My sister got married last year and i said i woukd loose weight for it and i...

Well done nichola and Goose any loss is going in the right direction! I've just arranged to meet up with some old friends who i havent seen in about 5 years and its a meal out 2 days before WI. Will try and post the link to the menu later and see if you girls can help me :-)

This was my tea, was yummy! Worked out at 14pp

Lasagne (13pp) Criss cross fries (7)

I had icelands criss cross fries a few times this week and trusted hubby to point them for us and he completely read it wrong. I've been counting 7 for the portion i have and it should be 14! He's so lucky i still lost weight

I've just come home from having dinner out and it was gorgeous but no idea of points wise. I had chilli cheese garlic bread for starters and there was 4 slices in the portion and a wee pot of sweet chilli sauce for dipping. My main was an 8oz burger and a chicken breast. There was a slice if...

Being a big girl i normally avoid these places but we are heading to salou in 3 weeks and have been told that i cant not go to portaventure theme park. Even if i dont go the rides its still worth a visit. Is it worth the 50EUR a head?

I'm back to ww as well Hannah, good luck x

I add banana on my toast as well as the philly choc cheese,its gorgeous!

Thats fab well done. I decided to try cal counting and only on day 2,hope i get good results too x

Roasted chicken breast with salad and mayo,was really fresh and tasty.

Hi Bugs, I've been on SW one an off for at least a year but have returned to ww because it fits in more with the kids and family and there isn't the need to plan so much...I very rarely buy ww products and cook everyones meals together and work out the total points and work from there...I am...

we are off on a hen do to blackpool next friday and there is myself and mum are both larger ladies. Mum is a 20 and i'm between a 26-28. The plan is the pleasure but I am dreading it, I dont think there will be many rides I could go on..anyone any ideas or info? Thanks

I feel the same Simon regarding the fruit but I do fill my plate with veg at night makes me feel like i'm getting more for my points then but haven't had much fruit at all.

Hi, I have also ordered it and am starting on Monday, am excited to give it a go but afraid of mucking it all up. Good Luck, check back and let me know how you are getting on!

Thanks for replies, I am going to go and see the pharmacist today and get all the info and details. I just don't know 100% whats right for me!

don't know whether to go and do it this week or wait until after next friday as I have a birthday night out planned with all my work friends at a nightclub. I have tried every diet going, on and off, loose a few stone and then stop again. I am only 5ft 3 and slightly over 21st, am bridesmaid in...

Had a quick search and some people say 11pp for the burger but i must be doing something wrong because when I put the nutritional info to my pp calcuator I get 22, please someone tell me I'm wrong. Here is the info from the website kcal- 430 protein- 34 carbs - 115.7 fat - 25.3 and no fibre listed

Good luck for weigh in!

lol oh me too, mine was very happy clappy and I can't be doing with all. Don't get me wrong I am happy for everyone to loose weight each week but I dont want to spend 45 mins or so clapping everyone individually..god I sound like such a party pooper lol

Been a good two days on plan and enjoying the freedom of choice. Walked for 50 mins in total today and walked for 50 mins yesterday. But am back to work in the morning and that's when I really struggle cause I work in a chippy!

I buy these ones from the butchers and all that is in them is extra lean beef, water and spices..they weigh 51g each and are gorgeous lol But have no idea how many propoints they would be, can anyone help? Thanks

Thanks Bindi, its been a slow process and hope the new start on propoints will help get things moving abit quicker

Forgot all about this thread until now. I changed to ww this week as I haven't been so good with sw. I think I need the structure and discipline of being told that i can only eat so many points and thats it, no free food! We are going on friday for the dress measurements, which i am dreading...

I have done been here before but changed to sw and am back to ww again but couldn't find my old post. So its abit of both lol

This is one question that I can't answer as I have no idea what size would suit me or I can't imagine being any size except what I am now, which is a size 28-30. I would just love to be able to shop in normal shops and not the fat ones lol

Thanks its been a slow process am hoping ww will help move things along.

hello ladies, is it ok if i join you..Am on my first week of propoints and so far am loving it. Was on sw but found it very restricting and didn't fit in with my life and family. I am on 46 pp a day and am planning on starting to walk more this week.

Am new to propoints this week and have just bought some spelga yoghurts by Dale Farm, the info on the pk is per 100g protein- 4.3 carbs- 19.3 fat - 1.2 fibre- 0.1 and each pot is 125g, I worked out that 100g is 3 pp but would you add an extra pp for the other 25g. Thanks

Thank you Shirleen

I would love parsley sauce tonight, and have one from chef select, think they are lidl ones. I was planning on using my HEXA as the milk but the pkt only states 100g of product as made up which is energy- 86 kcal protein - 3.5g carbs- 9.0 fat - 4.0 could someone please tell me what this would...

I joined sw at the end of november with my sister and friend, both dropped out after 2 weeks and now I am going it alone and hate it. I was back last week after xmas, got weighed, class got really busy and was sitting on my todd for at least 30 mins so I then got up and went home early. I...

aww Jo, sorry you put a lb on, but at this time of year that really isn't so bad, you can have it off for next week x

Completely agree with you. Most days I don't feel like i'm on a diet because I don't have to point everything and weigh it before I eat it!

hey, am also a newbie, and can buddy up with ya too. I have a stone off in my first 2 weeks but I have alot to loose, struggled last weekend and ate loads of choc by accident lol I also live on facebook, you can add me if you want http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=651496139 , just put a...

Hey Jo, I just seen your message on my diary,,sorry I missed it before. Good Luck for your weigh in today, hope it goes in the right direction. I have a little while before we actually order our dresses, think it is March sometime, but hopefully your fitting won't be as bad as you think and...

Hey Jo, sorry I must have missed your post and only seeing it now. Well done so far, you have made a better start than me on the exercise front, I do very little but do vow to join the gym in January/ Ferbruary. Maybe let all the new year resolutions fail first then I can join lol Our dresses...

I would like someone like you at ours tomorrow night then lol

I think it's really hard this time of year. I know i only joined on 30th Nov and think I am crazy now but I know I could be this weight come January or get a head start. I am so busy with kids, present buying, food organizing that I haven't loads of time to plan ahead and prepare, so i decided...

Thanks Val, I like cold pizza but others mightn't lol Will bring a few mini one's and a fruit roulade and see what happens.

Hi, I have my first taster night tomorrow, now I have only been at class for 2 weeks so have no idea how they run. I was thinking of doing the syn free fruit roulade and maybe a smash pizza, but then thought about it being cold.do they normally reheat the food or just taste it cold..sorry for a...

roast chicken, mash, brussel sprouts, carrots,cabbage and gravy

I am baking one of those syn free swiss rolls, to have after dinner, hopefully that will cure my sweet craving

I swear this weekend is never going to end. I am in a foul mood today because i just want to sit watch dvd's and munch goodies. Went out for a walk...didn't help, had a mini flake..didn't help, had a cadburys choc finger..didn't help...plus I have had 2 take aways this week, am loosing my mojo...

Well I have had 2 chocs already, am counting them as 2 syns each. The wine isn't bothering me either because I don't really drink but the choc mmmmmm i can hear it calling my name, think once hubby is home I will get him to hide them from me lol

I really am struggling today, was at work ( in a chippy lol) and had superspeed soup and my lovely boss bought me chocs and wine for my wedding anniversary. So now they are sitting looking at me and i am wishing that i hadn't started class until after xmas. I can really see me giving up before...

Thanks for the replies. I suppose it will just take a while to get used to it.

I am a new member and have just come from ww. I was just wondering how the plan keeps you from loosing weight week after week, if you are still eating the same foods and same portions. Like in ww when you loose weight , you loose a point. Sorry don't seem to be explaining myself well, but...

lol @ lesley..it is surprisely yummy. Now when I was making I was abit hhhmmm, don't know about that but once it's all blended down it's fine.

homemade burgers with sw chips and a side salad. Can't wait!

Made this for lunches for hubby and me and we both love it. I lost 10lbs on my first week and hubby lost 6lb.

Hi, we were having this talk last night in class and apparently the mr kipling one's are 13 syns, and the tesco ones are 11. HTH

Had a chinese last night for our wedding anniversary, thought it would be abit better than going out for a meal. Had 1/2 portion of everything so here goes crispy chilli chicken breast of chicken curry fried rice then had a handful of chips nicked from the kids and 3 profiteroles ( 15 syns...

I started slimming on 30th Novemeber ( last week). My sister asked me to be her bridesmaid a few months ago and it is exactly a year now to her wedding and panic has set in. There is one other bridesmaid which is her bf's sister and she is a skinny size 8 if not less. So you can imagine what I...

Hi Sarahlou, I weigh in on a Tuesday night and am dreading it lol, just because I haven't felt hungry and feel like maybe i've been eating too much, but if it works for me then the plan is great and I haven't really felt like i'm on a diet. Well done on your loss so far thats great!

I think i'll just pass on the stuffing, am not a huge fan so shouldn't be too hard. Thanks

Hubby bought a stuffed boneless chicken for dinner today, but how on earth do I count the syns for the stuffing? Thanks

well done 2 1/2 lb los is a great start!

Thanks Valerie, am defintely going to start using more syns.

I am guilty of this too, might make the hubby hide them on me! It worked before and he only gave them to me on the morning of my weigh in

thanks for that, will have that wee Milky Way sitting in my fridge then lol. I am finding it great, really easy and defintely don't feel like I am on diet and am finding it easier to cook for the whole family without having to use a seperate pot for me. How did you do in your first week?

Hello ladies, I am a newbie and this forum looks great for hints, support and recipes. I am usually a ww girl so this is all new to me and hope that I am following this right. This is my food diary so if i am going wrong somewhere hopefully someone can put me right. I only used 7 1/2syns on...
