    What shakes do you guys have on DDs?

    The food sachets on slim and save are really nice, the cottage pie and spag bol are really yummy! And only around 150 cals each. I was never that keen on the bars from there though, very small and weird tasting I always thought.
  77. C

    YAY!!!!

    Well done that's a great loss! Would be interested to hear how your weight goes with changing the times around, sounds like a good way of doing things!

    Oh No! Nerves are setting in!

    Just a thought, (I only started this on Monday so sorry if I'm talking carp) but on the website I'm sure it says to weigh once a week after a down day, but aren't you on an up day today? Maybe best to leave weighing until after your DD tomorrow?

    Question about mealpacks and carbs!

    How many of those 4 packs is a meal pack (as in, not a shake or a bar). I just thought the names of them sounded really carby, as in pasta and potatoes, so wondered if the weight loss would be as quick as with Cambridge. Thanks for the reply :)
  105. C

    Question about mealpacks and carbs!

    Hi, I'm thinking about starting slim and save. I've done Cambridge before so one of the things that stood out about S&S was the mealpacks. However, are they not to carby? Looking at some of them i.e. cottage pie and the macaroni cheese, would they not cause you to come out of ketosis? Just...

    When did you start having the veg drink mix?

    I've had all tetras, 2 strawberry and 1 choc. Managed 8 pints of water so I'm quite pleased with that. I think I'm just going to have a veg drink, how much harm can it do???
  117. C

    weigh day almost nil by mouth anyone else?

    I do exactly the same thing, when I was on WW our weigh time was around 630pm so we wouldn't drink from 1230pm. Water weighs a lot!

    When did you start having the veg drink mix?

    Ooooh happy day one to you! I'm so cold, I don't remember being this cold last time :( other than that things are good. How have you found the first day?
  119. C

    When did you start having the veg drink mix?

    I'm on day one and absolutely freezing! I've had all my shakes for today, I'm thinking about having a bouillon drink to warm me up a bit, but my counsellor said not for the first 2 weeks. I did Cambridge before and can't remember leaving it for that long - is this right? It's the Marigold...

    Thanks :) have pointed the Kulfi as 4 points (it wasn't very big to be fair), and the mushroom bhaji as 4 too. Wine was 8 points. Quite a lot of points but not as many as I thought it would be!!!

    What do you eat for breakfast (or rather, what can I eat for breakfast!)

    Yes this seems to be the problem with me - I'm ALWAYS hungry :o :D I might try that then, sticking with the special K but taking something to eat in between breakfast and lunch. The crumpets idea sounds good too, I used to eat those a lot last time I was on WW, with WW cheese spread on them...
  125. C

    What do you eat for breakfast (or rather, what can I eat for breakfast!)

    I'm having cereal at the moment (special K or branflakes) and I'm finding its not keeping me full until lunch time. I don't eat breakfast as soon as I get up (never feel like anything) so I have to take something I can have at work (in an office) and so it has to be something transportable...

    Help! Can someone explain Esource to me?

    I joined WW last week and have signed up for the monthly pass and so get free Esource. I've just had a quick look at it and I haven't got a clue where to start! I can see that you can add foods to your list and it will keep track of them but if I'm honest I can't see me having time to do this...

    Joining SW next week....HELP! (lots of questions!)

    Just thought of something else. When you go to weightwatchers, you can buy a book with the points values of different foods, one for supermarkets and one for eating out, do SW do a similar thing? Also, how do you work out the Syn values of things? Thank you!

    Breakfast muffins recipe for you

    Oh I'm not to sure! I weighed all the ingredients and wrote it all down but then threw the bit of paper away. I think the fruit on the scales was 14.5 points so taking that away I would think they would then be 2 points each (ish). HTH!
  132. C

    Breakfast muffins recipe for you

    Hi. I started weightwatchers again last week and lost 3 pounds this week :) I thought I would share this recipe with you for breakfast muffins. You need a mug to measure the ingredients, the recipe makes 12 muffins and each muffin is 3 points. They're great if like me you don't like to eat...

    New WW plan?

    You do get new books, it a nice little folder with all the info about the diet in (I prefer this instead of all those little books they used to give you!) of course for all the "filling" food points you have to buy the new shopping guide.........and eating out book!
  136. C

    New WW plan?

    I went to a WW class just before Xmas, and it seems to me to be the points plan but with filling foods encouraged (these appear in green in the books). There is now only this plan, no more core/points plan. HTH!

    Sleepless on SW

    I have heard this one before but personally I don't believe it! Apparently your body goes into starvation mode and holds onto everything it can (i.e. fat) in case it needs it. So if thats true how come you lose weight when your ill?? I don't believe it, not one little bit.
  142. C

    How does it work???

    Thanks for that RuthyJ - makes a lot of sense!
  147. C

    How does it work???

    Yeah it's just baffled me to be honest - I've done WW and Cambridge in the past, you can easily see why you lose weight on those whereas this ones not so obvious. Sometimes it's nice to know how it works and not just that it does.
  148. C

    How does it work???

    Never thought about either of those to be honest!
