Sorry for the double reply, what about 4:3 instead xxx

Thank u so much Hun for your reply. So you think it's possible to lose 8 stone doing 5:2 xxxx

Hi all, I have 8 stone to lose and was wondering if 5:2 would help me lose this weight or is it more of a maintenance plan than a weight loss plan. I have read so much conflicting information and I hope somebody can help advise me. Thank you so much xxx

Hi all, I am thinking of combining 5:2 with slimming world and following slimming world on my "feast" days but was wondering if I will actually lose weight on 5:2 as I have read posts that say 5:2 is designed to help you maintain your weight and not actually lose weight. I have a lot of weight...

Hi all, I have just been given Orilstat by my GP and told to follow a low fat diet of 1800 calories per day. I have a considerable amount of weight to lose – 9 stone to be precise. I am just wondering whether I should do this or give WW a good go, as I was very successful on WW a few years ago...

Hi All, Starting Herbalife tomorrow, so nervous xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks for your comment however there are reasons behind the reasons I stopped other diets. I don't go into a diet expecting to give up, I generally try my hardest. I am not giving up on slim & save, I was just having a low point and a self doubting moment. I have Bipolar so these low points...

Yeah I thought the exact same, I understand you can do loads with it like add fruits etc and blend it but when you are at work this is impossible to do, and you have to have it as a normal shake. I wanted to be able to have a chocolate and a tropical, 2 completly different flavours which will...

I bought some ready made shakes yesterday, and I have had one today and I totally agree with you, they are nowhere near as filling.

Hi All, I know this is a Slim Fast forum, but I didnt know where else to post this question as there is not a Herbalife forum on here. I have started Herbalife but I am really confused about snacking ideas and I wondered whether I could have a Slim Fast snack in place of a Herbalife Snack...

I lost 0.5lb which I am really gutted about, I really thought I would lose more, I didnt have all my dailies most days and I stil had 30 weeklies left. So I dont know why my loss is so slow.

Today going okay, I have had 20 propoints so far, still have 34 for the night. Mmmm takeaway sounds good to me! What you thinking of? We should create a mens group on here

Wow, really? This is probably why Propoints has never worked for me before because i always take the weight once cooked. I will take raw weights from now on, and see if that helps. Thanks mate

I am going to definately switch to Wholemeal carbs, I hope that helps. I just felt like crap yesterday! But I have woke up this morning with Man Flu, so that could possibly be why! :cry:

If anyone was wondering, I found out it is the raw weight you go by.

Yeah I really liked the old plan, I think it just clicked with me, but losing weight was the easy part, maintaining was the hardest part, hence why I am where I am today. I am just going to try and forget about the other plan and work really hard at this one, and try and get my weight back on...

I have put all the 8 back on, but yeah u r so right the old plan wasn't great for maintenance. How u getting on? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I did really love the old plan, I just hope I can be as sucessful on this plan, how do you find that the 2 plans compare? Do you use your weekly points? Do you always use your dailies or do you ever go under? I love Darenth, it is such a country village feel, but not too far from the busy...

I changed from Slimming World because it just didn't fit into my hectic lifestyle, it was so hard to eat on the go especially when at work! And I found the plan so complicated, can't eat bread and cereal in the same day or milk and cheese in the same day! It just took so much planning! And had...

So annoying !!!!

I hope they do bring back half points, that was so much better and so less confusing than rounding up and down. I heard that it was something to do with the way we calculate activity points. I suppose we are not going to know until next month! I hate waiting!

Mmmm, I do wonder what this is! I hate it when they keep us guessing like this, surely if they know that there is a tweak to the plan or something that will make our weight loss journeys more sucessful, they should release it instead of making us wait a few weeks. I mean Christmas is only round...

Totally agree with you, I just think it is incredibly high, and I am just going to eat to satisfaction, as long as I dont too little I should be okay.

I have got 6 stone to lose to get to goal, so I have a lot to lose too! So I hope my losses are as good as yours. My daily Propoints are actually 54 and not 58, a mistake made by my leader, so that may help too. The fruit thing sounds really good actually. How r u finding it? I take it u...

Wow that is amazing - u must be so proud! Well done I don't understand the 5g of fat per 100g rule. What if something is 8g of fat per 100g but the serving size is 25g and only 3g of fat per serving - is this still banned? x

Hi all, I seriously need a kick up the backside, I have done so well on PP and them in the last week, I have just eaten all the possible crap anyone could eat. I really want to lose this weight but I'm really struggling to get my motivation back. Please help me someone, im so depressed xxz

Hi all, Feel a bit at the moment, just wanna cry. I have food optimised 100% this week and I have put on 1lb and I don't know why. I really don't. Im heartbroken

The Spag Bol OXO cubes are amazing!! And they are also Free and they really intensify the flavour. I love it! Much better than Dolmio!! xxx

Hi all, Was wondering if anybody knew how to put a silver 7 on my signature on here. XXX

On the old system you are meant to drop a point for every time you go into another stone barrier. So you should now drop a point. x

Welcome to WW xxx

That's what I thought which was why I was worried when I see that I had gone over my daily points. Could I now have my other HEXB and have an Alpen Light Bar or is that pushing it too much xxx

Hun my daily food is below; Green Day BREAKFAST 2 Alpen Lights (HEXB) LUNCH Jacket Potato Baked Beans Side Salad 100g Coleslaw (5.5 syns) DINNER Omelette (28g Cheese - HEXA) Mushy Peas SNACK Apple 2 Satsumas Mullerlight Yoghurt xxx

Hi everyone, I'm a ww reject and can not get my head around the whole no counting and weighing business as iv always been told that the only way to lose weight is to create a calorie deficit, well I had a really good sw day so curiosity got the better of me and I ww pointed everything iv eaten...

Hi all, I am finally back on WW after doing SW. I really enjoyed SW and think it taught me so much about healthy eating however I wasnt really teaching myself anything about portion control, I was eating so much pasta, potatoes, rice. I know I need a healthy eating plan that I learn...

Thanks for all your replies, I am going to stick with it and hopefully i will see a weight loss or STS on the scales this week. xx

I think I am ready to throw the towel in, damage limitation I think it is called. Been following the plan for almost 2 weeks, lost 4lb in the first week, was so pleased and now I have gained 3lb. Do not know why? As I have followed the plan. My weigh in day is not until Tuesday but surely to...

Thats what I will do hun, thank you! x

I decided to Flexi Syn but then didnt know whether it will be best to limit my syns for the rest of the week. I am pretty new at this (2nd week on the plan) so just wanted some advice from some exsisting members. Thanks for the reply

Hi All, Been doing so well on the programme and then yesterday my parents called and wanted me to go round to their after work to help with something, because of the rush I never managed to eat and everyone was having a fast food take away at my parents and I ended up having a McDonalds Big...

No offence taken! I hadnt really thought of it like that actually. Your dead right .... thanks for the wake up call :)

I have a chihuahua and he always a bit of what I am eating! His 2 years old and has done that all his life and he is still going strong. The vets are all pleased with him at his check ups. So cant be doing that much harm to him xxx

Not enough food?? Really? How do I see your food diary? xxx

I am also questioning what plan to do? I am not really a meat lover although I will eat this and I just feel like I am not following the plan properly as I dont feel like I am having my 1/3 SFF. For instance today I have Pasta, Sweetcorn, Cucumber and Onions for lunch. And tonight In have...

Hi, Well done on your weight loss, that is amazing! I lost 4lb!! And I am so pleased!!! xxx

Thanks for all your replies, I will let you know how I get on! I am weighing tonight!!!

How much did u lose on ur first week hun xxx

Hi all, it's my second weigh in tomorrow and I'm so scared!!!

Chloe, just draw a line under it and start again today. Remember this is a lifetime healthy eating plan not a fad diet and we will have days or even weeks were we feel rubbish about ourselves and binge, but when you get to goal, I can gurantee you will not remember that one bad day or that...

Hi Hun, Thanks your message, it really encouraged me and I will be here to do the same for you! Good luck hun and here is to a slimmer future xxx

Hi All, I have finally bit the bullet and joined my local slimming world meeting. Wish me luck, I have 4 stone to lose!

Hi All, Can anybody tell me how many propoints in an aldi less than 70 calorie bar (they are like Alpen Light) I read somewhere that these were 1PP each? XX

Cheers Hun xxx

Thank you all for your replies, I have drawn a line under it now and i am back to normal eating! Amazign how clearly you can think the next day whereas on the day you just feel totally out of control!! I am determined that I will lose some of this weight for my nieces christening. xxx

Hi all, I am so gutted, can not beleive I have blown it! I had such a good week but then completly blew it this weekend, I ahve just eaten crap to the point of feeling sick. I have my niece's christening to go to on 21st August and I really wanted to lose some of this weight by then...

Hi All, Just wondering if anybody has a printable Propoints tracker that could be emailed to me? It would be really helpful! Hope you are all doing well xxx

Hey all, So pleased it was my second WI yesterday and I lost 2lb. I am so happy!!! :D

Morrisons Eat Smart Pork Sausages Hi all, I have read on here somewhere that Morrisons Eat Smart Pork Sausages are Syn Free. Is this correct or am I going crazy? x

Hi all, I have started Slimming World today after recently converting from WW. As money is a bit tight at the moment, I have been advised by the mother in law to do our shopping in Aldi's as you get alot more for your money. Can anybody share any good SW food from Aldi's? Any help would...

Cheers hun, I will have a read now x

Thanks for the replies - yeah I have got the latest copy from a class I went to in March but then had to stop going. I am a bit nervous about the change over from WW, but I just feel it is not working for me. I am eating so much crap. Do you think SW is better? I need to lose 6 stone :-(

Hi All, I am new to SW and starting tomorrow (changing from WW). I have the Food Directory but can not afford to go to a meeting at the moment, please can you tell me is there a way of working out how many syn values are in a food or drink which isnt listed in the Food Directory. I know that...

Hi are these 70 cal cereal bars from Aldi or Lidl?

Hi all the way I was explained about the weeklies when this came up in my meeting is that on the points plan you were able to save 4 per day and store them up for the weekend or a blow out. Well now on Propoints WW have automatcally stored those points up for you (7 per day) and put them in a...

Hey hun sorry I never messaged back, I had a family emergency :eek: I have just worked it out and it says you have a daily allowance of 29 Propoints also your weekly allowance of 49 Propoints and any Propoints you earn through exercise. Be careful when following this plan that you do not...

Yeah on Propoints you get your daily allowance + Your weekly allowance (which is 49 Propoints) and then you can earn Activity Propoints also. It is really good hun, I think you will like it, read the thread titled Introducing the new Pro-points plan it is really good and indepth read hun...

How tall are you hunni - in feet and inches? x

Hey hun, love the stuff you sent me, some of it is for Propoints and some of it is for the old points. Email me your details and I will work out how many propoints you should be on as now it needs to be done on the calculator and not via a quiz, but I think the majority of ladies are on 29...

Hi all, I am feeling really positive about this and I know I can do it. I need to lose a considerable amount of weight, but I am going to take this one step at a time! :)

I think I will give this a go hun, I will let you know how I get on xxx

Totally agree with you hun, I am going to do this as it seems so much easier than counting calories in everything, it seems much more manageable in the long term also. xxx

Hi Lou, I have access to WW online as I used to be a weight watcher leader when it was the discover plan. I have been calorie counting but found counting calories in everything I eat and drink including diet drinks is a bit much and becomes a bit too obsessive. I was thinking that following...

Hi all, Was just wondering if anybody following the Propoints plan has slim fast shakes for breakfast or lunch. I am thinking of doing this, but not sure if this will have a negative effect. What you think? xx

Hi Lou thanks for coming back to me on this, how sucessful have u been pointing slim fast xx

Oh that's great to hear hun, my fitness pal has put me in 1580 calories, so I am still under xx

Thanks for that hun, including the time out bar I have consumed 1377 calories. Have you ever had an extra snack out of the remainder of ur evening calories? Xx

Does anyone know the points in a large doner kebab and chips from the kebab shop? Please help xxx

Hi all, I have just been on the slim fast site and re-reading how to follow the plan and I read that for every stone lost you must reduce your calorie intake by 150. A bit worrying as my daily intake is 1560 calories and I have 4 stone to lose, so if I drop the 600 calories then I will be...

Hi All, I thought I would post my food diary on here, I have posted it on the main forum but now realised it is in the wrong place!! I feel really good to have got the first day over and no dilemmas. But think I could have eaten more healthy snacks. DAY ONE Breakfast SF Banana Shake Lunch...
