Has anyone tried a slendertone and does it work!?

Have you reduced your carb intake. I had a headache for the first couple of weeks and in think it was my body adjusting to the lack of carbs.

2.5lb off this week making 5.5 in 4 weeks. Much happier with that result. It was the boost I needed to stay on track! Yippee :-)

Similar to the above but I grill them and just when done I spread on a teaspoon of apple sauce 0pp, then sprinkle on some low fat cheddar and stick it under the grill to melt the cheese.

Hiya thanks for that. Yeah plenty of fruit which had me thinking maybe I need to cut back on the fruit but up the veg as less natural sugars! Oh who knows all trial and error for the first few weeks I guess. Still sticking with it though so we will see what this week brings!

Week 3 and I have gained 1/2 lb! So disheartened as I weighed and pointed everything and still had 43 weeklies left. Where am I going wrong. Can't even use totm as an excuse as that was last week and I still lost which was a bit of a surprise! Can anyone help? I am an online ww user so...

1pp per sweet

Yeah I live alone so I always have 3 portions of most things to freeze! Hard part is remembering to take them out of the freezer before going to work! Lol :-p

Great idea I hadn't thought of having it with bns chips. I still have 3 portions stored in the freezer so that's tomorrow night's dinner sorted! Who needs takeaway! :-)

If you are an online user there is a recipe builder application were you type in the weights of all your ingredients and it gives you the total points value, you then say how many portions and it converts to propoints per portion! It's fab.

I rarely drag mine out but would also love to try more recipes especially if I can just chuck everything in and leave it on while I go to work!

This programme is quiet scary! Well except when I was lmao at the above comment! Why are these people being interviewed while on the loo!?!?!? TMI

That sounds lovely, will be giving that a go.

Can you give me the recipe for your chicken and chorizo risotto? Sounds lovely :-)

-1.5 this week making loss of 3.5 in two weeks. Still on track to lose 1 stone by Easter! Long may it continue!

Lmfao. Thats hilarious. Mine is defo not voice activated lol!

On no wi tomorrow morning. Still have 30 weeklies left so hopefully another loss but totm so not sure! :-(

Just about to start tonight's routine. I'm trying to get into the habit of doing it as soon as I get in from work before i start preparing dinner because "if I don't, I won't" lol ;-)

Enjoy everyone. I was so surprised how tasty it was. Think I'll add a bit more chilli next time though as I love spicy food. :-)

Just be careful the supermarkets are stocking both old and new point goods a the moment. If your buying old stock you will need to repoint it.

Lol. It's certainly not glamourous and yip looks a bid odd ;-). Defo an exercise to be done with the blinds firmly shut. Trying to will my butt off the sofa for today's session!

I bought my sis a voucher for one for her Christmas. She's not been yet though. I was going to get a voucher so I could go with but have really tickly feet so decided against it lol

I have just made the butternut squash and cumin one mentioned above. Wow that is amazing. Just what you need on a cold winters day. That's my lunches shorted for this week and 0 points yippee!

Hi just checked it again and it seems to be 3pm per sachet for the mild discovery seasoning

iPhone app says the discovery seasoning is 1pm per serving. Hope this helps

It's full name is minimins.com. I have it and love it. Everyone is so helpful.

I gave it a go this afternoon. There is a DVD with two workouts a six minute upper body workout and a 10 min full body work out. I gave the 6 min one a go and my arms feel all jelly like now. Will try and do both most days and see how I get on. Plan is to banish the bingo wings by the time I...

Hi guys. I found a rather strange sounding recipe and have just given it a go. At first I was put off by the name coca cola chicken (sounds disgusting doesn't it) but curiosity got the better of me and I put the ingredients into the recipe builder and when it came up with 3pp per serving I...

Don't get disheartened chalk it up to experience and go easy on your weekly points and I'm sure you'll be fine.

2lb loss on my first week. Was hoping for more but hey ho it's going in the right direction for now.

Can anyone tell me would Singapore noodles be the same as chow mein???? :-)

I have been using Liz Earle for over 12 years now. I couldn't live without cleanse and polish and the moisturisers. I have so many skin allergies but never a reaction with this!

I have just bought a shake weight and plan to get started tomorrow. Has anyone else tried this? If so what do you think of it? :-)

iPhone app says 3pm for a standard soft tortilla wrap. Hope that's what your after.

Ah yes I think you have to be an online member to use all the functions in the app. Sorry forgot about that.

Just type weightwatchers into the search engine of your app store I think it comes up top of the list.

Can't see it either. Fun size mars bar is 2pp so likely to be the same. Hope this helps

Hi how did your first weigh in go?

I think it's great. You can track everything you eat as you eat it so there is no forgetting to add that odd treat to your food diary! :-)

iPhone app doesn't mention them specifically but nearly all the other shapers crisps seem to be 3pp.

Thanks. I'll try using them or not over the next few weeks and see what works best for me. First week WI tomorrow! Eek :-)

Hi again Kerry There seems to be a lot of conflicting advice esp on the ww facebook page. A ww leader has now gone on facebook to say daily points must be used but weekly are optional. Some people seem to be saying they only lose the weight if they use the 49 and others are ok. I guess we...

Hi iPhone app says a box is 12 points. Dies anyone know does this mean the made up value i.e does it include the milk or do I point that separately? Thanks in advance S

I have also swapped over from sw this week. I feel like I have to deal with my portion control and the whole pasta is free on a green day was just a green light for me to fill up on carbs. I very rarely had a red day so think I was losing out protein wise. Will give this a go for now and try...

Oh oh. Shop bought ones are about 4 each! This is my first week so won't be making that mistake again. Do you know are you supposed to eat all your weekly allowance and still lose weight? I have 29 daily and so far today have used 34 but still have 33 of my weekly left?! Now feeling very...

Bit naughty at lunch as it was a friend's birthday. Can anyone tell me how much vegetable spring rolls would be. I don't have an eating out book as just signed up to online. Thanks

Great thanks. :-)

Thanks. It does kinda make you wonder if the propoints plan is just a whole money making scheme as everyone will just have to start buying new cookbooks. Or is that just me being cynical? I did discover a few years ago but I feel I am eating more on propoints so not sure I will lose much...

I have just joined up to the pp plan online this week. I have some old ww cookbooks. Does anyone know is there a quick way to convert the points on the old recipes? Seons

If your looking for a slightly sweeter tea you can try the tetley rooiboos tea. It's like ordinary tea but slightly sweeter. They also do a version with added vanilla flavouring which I love. No need to add sugar or sweetners.

Result. Good to know. This site is great for picking up tips. Good luck on your journeys :-)

Sounds great Kerry would be great to have a diet buddy. :-) S

Thanks auburn. I have managed to space it out better today and have used all 29. All a bit trial and error. I hope the ww products get updated with the new points soon. I have a couple of meals in the freezer so will be sure to re-point them before I eat them.

Sorry Kerry Anne forgot to add I only started on Tuesday. Think I need to work out a way to spread my point better over the day. I still haven't touched any of my extra 49. I'm sure it's just that first week eager beaver syndrome and within a week or two I'll be using up every point possible...

Sure no probs. For breakfast I had mini weetabix 4, skimmed milk 1 Snacks I had a banana Lunch I had 2 slices warbatons healthy inside brown bread (the small loaf) 2 slices is 2 pts. 35g low fat cheddar - 2 pts. Slices tomato- 0 pts A tin of ww tomato soup 1 pt and some melon 0 pts...

Hi Kerry. I have the same problem and was about to ask the same. I have an allowance to 29 but have only used 19 and have had my three meals. I feel like I would be having a bag of crisps just to top up the points, surely that is not the aim of a diet! Hopefully someone has the answer...

Hiya thanks for your response. My problem is that when I start a diet I do ok but can never quiet reach a loss of just 1 stone so I get fed up and lose my mojo too easily. Hopefully with this years goals I have more reason than ever to keep on track. I absolutely refuse to be the fat...

Hi my name is Seonaidh and I have just joined the new ww pro points online plan. I tried ww about 2 years ago and lost a bit but put it all back on. I then joined sw about 18 months ago and was going great guns until last Christmas when I relaxed off plan for the hols and then lost my mojo...

Hi I have previously tried ww and sw. Each time I lose about a stone then get stuck and lose motivation. Does anyone have any advice about whether to try sw again or the new ww pro points? I need to lose about 2 stone by August as I am bridesmaid at my sister's wedding. I also have a...
