America is a bugger for fat food!

I got a new bike for my birthday. I've been practising and I rode to work n back today - 5.7 miles. It was bloody hard work n my legs were burning, my heart was pumping. Enjoyed it but hard work. I worked out the cals on a biking calculator thing and i used about 350. I can't believe that's...

Thanks guys!

UKserena was right....u look great! (Also not being stalker-ish). Well done. I've just rejoined ww n feel inspired by your success! The dog is pretty cute too!

Hi - I've rejoined ww and minimins after 9 months away. The support is great and it really helps me focus and feel a part of something bigger than me sat in my front room stressing about food! I thought I could do it alone - I guess I thought I'd got it cracked...not so! Good luck everyone!

Hi - I've rejoined ww and minimins. I thought I could do it by myself but alas no. I've not gained much back but my eating habits are terrible and I am obsessed with berating myself for making bad food choices and overeating. I need to turn this around and get positive again and ww is a great...

Take a magnesium supplement every day (300-500mg u'll have to experiment to find the right dose for u - sometimes I have 900mg) n u will poo regularly - once a day. If u have diarrhoea type IBS take a calcium supplement which slows the bowel down. I've had all the tests n all the meds...

IBS really sux. I've had all the tests n cameras where they shud never go! My gp prescribed me anti depressants (prozac/fluoxetine) not because I was depressed but cos this type of medication stops the body from uptaking serotonin too quickly. This is our natural happy drug n if it stays in the...

That's bloody brilliant!

I'm working on it - just 3 lbs to go n feel really motivated now I've read ur thread. I started pp's in Jan at 10'7. I've had a couple of weeks off when mum was in hosp n then step daughter moved in! Needed chicken chow mein n Ben n jerrys on tap to cope with that!

Lol. I asked mine if he could tell I lost 10 lbs n he said I always look the same!

I've been on cerazette for a couple if years n no probs. No periods which is fabulous altho occasional bleeding - light bleed for one day maybe once every couple of months. I was on microgynon n had terrible headaches. I can honestly say that any weight gain has been down to me stuffing large...

I searched out my holiday clothes n same thing happened! Great feeling but need to spend loads of money now x I hated last years hols cos I felt fat but not this year. Roll on July 8th x

I don't really drink much but when I do, any reasonable decision making skills go out the window n I will eat with wild abandon. So I empathise with those on the booze n food wagon. It'll b worth it x

Rotherham south Yorkshire. It's a ***** hole. Must move asap x

I think 2x aunt Bessie puds = 3pps. I was sad when discovered this x

That's amazin!

I've lent my books to my friend but I've been sticking to uncooked rice n pasta at 10g = 1pp. not sure about cooked as I weigh before cooking n do mine n a separate pan. U don't get alot that's for sure so if it seems to good to be true it prob is!

Normal size creme egg is 5pps if that helps. I'd prob guess 2pps for a mini one. Much the same as caramels. X

I looked up nutritional value of Ribena really light n 100ml made up using 25ml dilute has 0.5 carbs so if u multiply by 20 to get the carbs for 2 litres = 10g carbs. I put this in the tracker n it works out at = 1pp. Phew! Brain hurts now x Ps don't go near full sugar ribena! The carbs r...

Ooo just read ur post properly n if it's the full sugar ribena I think it works out at high cals. I love full sugar ribena but don't have it cos I think I'd have to point it. If the basic guideline is 50 cals = 1pp then u could work it out approx X

I drink loads of low cal dilute (tesco high juice is yummy) n as it's only 12 cals a glass I don't point it X

I count 3pps for pancakes made in my medium size frying pan with as little oil as poss without them sticking. I'll be going to mums on Tues n hers will easily be 5pps each cos her frying pan is huge n she cooka them in lard! Gorgeous tho!

Hello again. It's all very confusing but the ww shop states a 50g double decker is 6pps n a 65g large double decker is 8pps. I looked up the nutritional value for the 50g bar n pointed this at 7pps just as u did! It's never gonna work if the bloody info from ww is wrong eh?!

Smoothies! Couple of bananas 0 pp's, muller light Yog 2pps, a bit of cold water n some low cal cordial (apple n strawb is good) n blend! Fab n quick x

I've been to nandos tonight with grumpy boyfriend but to be honest I didn't care cos I was having a great time! Had double chicken breast pitta 15pps, mixed leaf salad 1pps n grilled Hallomi 2 - total 18pps. It was worth the zero pp's soup n lots of fruit thro the day! Was v impressed I...

They're all taken from the ww shop book. I'll double check the double deckers for you tho!

Two stone is an amazing loss. Well done you!

Just a quick update - now lost 9lbs in total! Now 9'12. Good luck everyone. This diet does work!

Kohl

6 pounds is fantastic - well done u!

Wow. Dinah is beautiful. She is very much like my beloved loopy who sadly died aged 16 years old last autumn. Tortoise-shell cats are gorge. I hope she brings as many smiles as loopy did. Loved that cat to bits ?

Dusky pink

7 pp's. I like tesco's micro oats with golden syrup - 6pps

Mushroom chow mein (which is noodles) is 6 pp's so I'd count plain noodles as 6 pp's also. Yum.

I got weighed this morning n to date, i've lost a human head!! Cool!

That's cool but I don't think u'll get away with -87 pp's every week!

I made cheese cake with White and dark choc for my step daughter and didn't lick the bowl!

Thanx for all the replies. Bottom line is ..... Warburtons crumpets r only worth the points if u have 1. Gutted. Also wondering wot else I've been calculating inaccurately. Should I calculate everything rather than just doubling it if I have twice as much? Or is it mainly processed food? Rach

I'm struggling with pp's calculations when something is 1pp but if u have 2 lots of the item it's 3pps. Eg ww bread 1 slice = 1 pp but 2 slices = 3pps. What if I have a slice of bread in the morn which is 1pp then 1 in the afternoon which 1pp. Does that = 2 or 3?!! Please help me!!

I mean 4pps not 2! I hate maths! And diets!

Just bit the bullet - at least it's got zero pp's - and yes 2 crumpets = 5pps! Wot happens if I have 1 crumpet at 8am n another at 2pm is that 2pps or 5pps?!!

Yes I'm not a fan of 1+1=3! Only just worked out that aunt bessies yorkshires r 1=1pps but 2=3pps. Boo hoo. Also normal sliced bread 1 slice = 2pps but 2 = 5pps! I'm reluctant to work out 2 crumpets! I just know it's gonna be 5 pp's not 4!

Not sure wot secrect means but u've baffled me for a word starting ct - it'd have to be a google cheat! Off to bed now brain tired!

Don't beat urself up hun just get back on the wagon! Don't worry about July just concentrate on now. I've seen some of ur other blogs n ur really supportive n give good advice so all u need to do is listen to urself! I've just blown 40 of my weeklies on an Indian meal so we're in the same...

Pizza is a killer on pp's. I've not had any for 6 weeks! I just watch my other half eat his! Weird huh?

Good lord! I've been on pp's since the new year n tonight I've had my first visit to my favourite Indian restaurant. Eek! I've smashed my weeklies n they only started again today. I've used 40 yes 40 of my 49! I'm gonna be on fruit n homemade soup til next Monday! Wish me luck!

Do u feel any slimmer? Clothes fitting better? Measuring urself? I did slimming world about 10 years ago n sts for about 2 months after losing 7 lbs in first week! I was gutted. I started measuring myself and this reflected a change whereas the scales were stuck. I cried whilst on them one week...

Veg curry's 8 so I count plain curry sauce as 8.

Hmmm I've a look on joes website n there doesn't seem to be enough info to work out pp's. There's only cals fat n fibre listed and as u know cals dont feature in pp's calculation but protein and carbs do. I've looked in the ww 'shop' book n basic sausages are 3pps but some others are 5pps...

Are they crispy bakes? If so the ww 'shop' book says that lightly salted are 5pps for 38g which it states is a quarter of a large bag. That kinda makes sense to me if compared with walkers for eg as they are 5 for normal 34g bag. Rach x

Dairy milk caramel nibbles are 5 for 39g bag crunchie Nuggets are 6 for 50g Rach x

I'd say 12 pps for the beef curry. A portion of boiled rice is 12pps. Portion of hot sour soup is 4 so only 2 if u had half. Not sure about the rib tho Rach x

I would guess at 12 pp's for k prawn curry as veg curry listed as 8 so extra 4 for the prawns. it's 16 pp's for egg fried rice Rach x

As people have already said, most of us with weight probs struggle with emotional eating n cravings. Some behaviourist theories advocate acknowledging the craving and accepting it for wot it is then responding by doing something different. I work with substance (drugs n alcohol) misusers n do...

Weighed myself this morn (I do it online) n I've lost half a stone! Sooooo pleased! I've been pro pointing for 6 weeks so it's working for me. Out of interest I'm only eating about 20-25 weeklies (the debate rages on eh?). Good luck to all ESP Saturday girls X

The 'eat out' guide lists veg curry as 8 so u'd have to estimate amount of chicken u eat. A medium size chick breast is 4 so I'd guess 12 for chicken curry. If u can -avoid the boiled rice! It's 12 pp's per portion! Eek. If u like chow mein it's only 6 for mushroom n 9 for special. I have chick...

Yeah that's right but 150g is only half a pack x

Well that's annoying! I've been counting 1+1=2 for ww bread. Never thought it would b 3pp for 2 slices. Bummer!

Try taking a magnesium supplement. I have ibs n can't poo without taking at least 600mg a day. The recommendation is generally 300mg. I buy tesco's own brand which is about £2. Magnesium is also supposed to regulate hormones...... I personally don't need my hormones balancing - honest!

I want to look down n see a much smaller pot belly! I've taken to leaning my arm in it! Horrors!

I've lost 6 in 6 weeks. I'd like it to go quicker but I know that this way it'll stay off longer n my eating habits are improving every day which is brill. Periods suck. Hormones suck. Don't let them make ur decisions! Ur doing fantastic x

Forgot supernoodles to go. They're 10 per pack except chinese rib, curry, nice n spicy, roast chicken flavours r 11.

I checked the ww 'shop' book n all supernoodles are 14 pp's per packet which I think is alot - almost half my daily points(29). The low fat ones are 8 per packet but I think they're a bit rubbish x

I'm a Chinese food fan n I think u've guessed about right for prawn crackers as they are fatty little *******! I'm loving the fact that chow mein (my fave) is low pp's.

There's such alot of confusion about 0pps food. I've got a bit stressed with it all to be honest. If u add the calories up they're quite high esp nanas. Eg a 2 banana smoothie with muller light yogurt = 2pps but = 300 cals! I really think that if 0pps should b restricted then weight watchers...

what's going on! Why do u think that so many of us girls struggle with weight issues? We all had different life experiences, different genes, upbringing, attitudes, beliefs, age, height etc so how do we l have the same problem? Do u think we're over indulgent? Victims of modern life? Weak...

Good lord! Fab!

Fantastic! Just sat at my desk craving choc n logged on for some motivation and here u r! Thanks chick keep up the good work n keep posting! X

Well I like ur calculations better than mine! Is that the general shortcut then....cals divided by 40? Good to know. Thanks x

Wow! Sounds fantastic! Mine doesn't even buy me a card then tries to give a special present (if u get my drift).....hey ho x

"Laugh out loud" babe. I thought it was "lots of love" for ages!

The formula is listed on wikipedia as 50 cals per pp. So 29pp = 1450 cals. this seems fine but then some 0pps on top, maybe a couple bananas = 200, couple of apples 100 n a couple weeklies = 100, it starts to mount up eh? I had 34pps yest along with 0pps which was well within my dailies n...

Eeee bless u! I have a similar problem as my weight doesnt come down for ages. However if u stick to it u will lose weight. I'm really impressed with ur commitment n weight loss to date. I've lost 5lbs in as many weeks. Slowly slowly........

Hey fellow Chinese curry lover! The eating out book has vegetable curry at 8 points so I'd guess 8 for plain curry sauce. Half a tub is quite alot from the Chinese. I had chicken chow mein n half tub of curry sauce last Friday for 13 points! I resisted the prawn crackers too! Come on!

He only went and bought full fat milk!!!

I think I'll take ur advice n make sure I have weekly points left n low pp snax in. Thanx

I find it hard not 2 binge on sunday nights as this has always been my 'sod it I'll start Monday morning' excuse. I had an apple then changed the bed 2 distract myself. Feel a bit better for not hitting the choccy bix but not over the moon. At least I dont feel any worse which would've happened...

U n me both! I'm doing pp online n have agreed with myself to get weighed fortnightly as my body takes ages to lose weight. However I got on the evil scales of doom yesterday, a full week b4 my agreed WI, n still 10s2lb. Only 5lb loss in 5 weeks but hey u know wot - I've lost 5lb! Come on...

I'm a two pan girl too! Then another two for veg as my other half feels physically violated if I give him veg! As Garfield once said 'the only way u'll get a vegetable in my body is to stake me thro the heart with a carrot' x

Good god! I wish I was like u 2! I really struggle 2 curb my hunger so if I stick to 29 I'm hungry - I am right now! I like to drink lots of tea n coffee but each cup with semi skimmed is approx 1 pp which sux. Hey ho.......

I use pro points uk and it's fab. The calclator is accurate (i've checked it against ww and calclator.net and point.ogo). It counts up ur pp's n deducts weeklies automatically. Cost £1.19. Bloody bargain!

Hmmm it's all very interesting. I'm only getting weighed fortnightly otherwise I do my own head in. So 1st fortnight I used an average of 20 extra pp's per week n lost 4lbs. 2nd fortnight I used almost all 49 both weeks n lost one pound! Go figure?! I'm gonna try n avoid them this fortnight n...

Hello fellow slimmers! Wots the view on weeklies? First 2 weeks I hardly used them n lost 4lbs then following 2 weeks I used nearly all of them n only lost 1lb. I'm ashamed to say that I then ate a load of digestives in protest! No rational thought involved. Anyway....any similar stories...

Recipe advice Try this I love it; Onion Leeks Garlic Red pepper Mushrooms Any other veg - broccoli carrots peas whatever you fancy. Extra light Philadelphia Fry up the veg n add Philly n cooked pasta. You could also fry with some chicken or prawns! Delicious!

Hot dog banana! I can't believe I never thought of that! Sounds fab! I love peanut butter!

Magnesium is the answer! If u want to poo regularly then take magnesium supplements. I buy them from tesco's own vitamin range for about £2 for 30. I take 2 x 300mg a day but i'd recommend taking one daily at first cos they will make you have runny poos if you take too many. The key is to take...

Be nice to yourself! You've done brilliant all week and still haven't used all your weekly points!! They are there to be used! Accept that your hormones are having a laugh and playing with your head and know that they dont rule your decisions! Recognise how well you're doing and don't let WI...

Fellow bingers! Hi - ive done lots of reading on this as ive been a control/binge eater for about 20 years- keep losing and gaining the same stone n a half! There are two main schools of thought really; 1. We take comfort in food when something upsets us (even if we don't consciously know what...

Knees knackered! My friend lost a stone doing the 30 day shred combined with healthy eating so I tried it but my poor old knees were so sore from the lunges. Going back to swimming much better on the joints!

Buy the book! Hi - I read a book called 'eating less say goodbye to overeating' by gillian Riley. found it positive for binging etc. I'll never be cured from food probes but this book helped. Be kind to yourself x

First weight in I lost 4lbs! Very pleased. I'm doing it o line (oo err) & have decided to get weighed fortnightly otherwise I get obsessive with the scales so next weigh in will be sat 29 jan & I'll update thread then. Can't beleive you can eat so much.....

Yummy I mash nana between 2 slices of toast for a 4pm breakfast or snack - very filling!

WW eat out book Hi - sorry but sausages aren't listed in the chip shop section of the eat out book however grilled pork sausages are 3 pps and grilled beef are 4 pp's Educated guess?!

Chicken chow mein queries Hi - I treat myself to chicken chow mien last night. I'd love it to be 9pps but as a pack of supernoodles is 14pps I don't think it can be.

29 pp per day Its my 2nd week and I'm surprised at people struggling to eat the 29 pps - I eat them easily and have used them everyday with an average of 5 weekly points per day as well. I do have a big appetite and get really hungry. here's a bit of an average day from my first week - I did...

4lbs! Well done everyone! I've lost 4 pounds after 10 days on new pp...it definitely works! I struggle to diet as I've got such a big appetite but free fruit really helps - that and points free veggie soups!

I just made sausage casserole (shared with my partner) with low fat sausagses (2=4pp) colmans sausage mix (half pack =2) with onions mushrooms carrots served with 2x small Yorkshire puds (2pp) and cabbage broccoli sprouts = 0pp. Total for tea = 8 was pretty good even if I say so myself

Wow! Will he recognise you?!!! I'm inspired!

Well done - I'd be over the moon if I lost 6lbs. I'm just about to finish week 1 on the new ww propoints. It's been pretty painless so far although I miss biscuits! Ta 4 pics lady who lost 80 lbs - Sooo motivating to c u achieve that amount of weight loss!

Hi orange Rachel. I'm new too. Not to weight loss diets n all that just new to his site. I'm starting ww next week. I've done slimming world cal counting Rosemary so need a new approach. I know it's simply eating less and moving around more but need some motivation!
