thanks a mill Lil Miss, I will be heading into town at lunchtime to buy the first couple:)

please help!!! I have heard so much about Jo Nesbo, and I want to buy the first one and start from there, but I have no idea what order they go in!! What is the first book? Also, I found Larsson a bit rambling at times but have heard Nesbo is more structured? Thanks:)

a bit late, but here you go:) Chicken Wrap (no sauce) 11PP Regular Fries 9PP Medium fizzy drink 4PP

I actually LOVE quorn mince, but I think it would be too dry to stick together for the meatballs, but you could use it all the same, and have a bolognese bake instead:)

Loop the loops are my saviour at night when I feel as though I could eat the legs off the table for a bit of sugar:)

good luck smiley jo, ww is a fantastic way to lose weight, it really works:)

oh persevere BBNH, PP does work, so it will kick in, maybe your metabolism takes a little longer to rev up hun:) maybe try to fill up more on 0 propoint foods, the more fibre you eat the more the weight will come off:)

I had this at the weekend, and it was absolutely delish:) Meatball Pasta Bake- 10PP Serves 4 400g (14oz) Lean Beef Mince 1 large onion, chopped finely 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Low fat cooking spray 175g (6oz) dried penne pasta 2 x 400g cans chopped...

ha ha, well that helps too, less time at the table, less time to eat lol:)

If I am going out to eat I spend the day drinking literally litres of water, I don't know how it works but it does, I just can't eat as much as I like, and what I do eat doesn't seem to have too much of a negative effect on my weight loss:)

I'm in Athlone Bindi:)

I came across a list of Supermacs foods there a few weeks ago, I must root it out and put it up here, handy to have to refer to in case you need your fix of chips!! And some of it isn't too bad on propoints:)

oh and Marks and Spencers have their count on us ready meals on offer at the minute, 2 for €7, and they freeze really well, most will cook from frozen too, they too have the propoints values on the back. Very handy to have on stand by for those times when you don't have to cook a meal for the...

I definitely find Dunnes the best... I got these little weightwatcher bun things there last week - Mini Victoria Sponges, and they are just to die for, but sweet enough that you could only eat one with a mug of tea:) Tesco's light choices stuff can be good sometimes too, and have the propoints...

Just thought I'd start a thread for us irish peeps, as we have different shops and fast food chains here, so maybe we could pool what we know here:)

oh but i do walk a couple of miles most evenings but I never use those activity points, I walk more for the health benefits than weight loss.

yep I keep them for booze to be honest, I see my dailies as food and my weeklies as drinks and have used at least 40 of them each week - that may sound like a lot of booze but when you convert them to wine or beer it's not a lot in a week!

well done:)

hey there Pixar, just wondering how you are getting on, I can see you lost 6lb in the first week, well done hun, that is brilliant:) How are you finding the diet? Or new lifestyle as I should call it lol.x.

Hello:) Just have to share - When I joined WW 3 weeks ago, I thought I was 12 stone 7, but when my leader weighed me I nearly belted her when she told me I was in fact 13 stone 4! Well just got weighed and I am now 12 stone 6 - a pound lighter than I thought I was that day, thank god for...

I think everyone is different, as a few years ago I did the old points and found it great, so I dubious about propoints as they are so different. In the first week on propoints I lost 3.5lb, and to be honest I was disappointed, as even though it was a good weight loss, I really thought I would...

well done Bertha:)

It's one of the most unfair facts about life, it is so so easy to put it on, yet so so hard to get it off again:(

good luck curvy girl:)

well done Laura:)

Just thought I'd share - anyone in the Republic of Ireland M&S have an offer on their Count on Us Ready Meals - 2 for €14 and they actually have the Propoints values on the back - all 9 or 10 points. And even though they are good for you, they are M&S so they are yummy:)))

a two finger kit kat is 3pp, and so is a solero ice cream, yum:) weightwatchers jaffa cake bars and chocolate mini rolls are only 2pp and they are surprisingly good. And Walkers baked crisps are 3pp. As you can tell, I have a wee bit of a sweet tooth!

calcium has been linked to metabolic rate and weight loss, and you don't seem to be having any at all each day apart from the milk in your coffee - so maybe try introducing some yogurt and cheese to your diet for a week, and see if that helps. Plus calcium is good for you!!!

oh no no chips are evil, they are so so yum but so not worth it!!

oh that's not good, if it was too hard I would never keep it up, I think I may stick to walking too:)

those sessions are so costly but if they worked they might be worth it!! would love to hear from someone who tried it!

every day is a new day, just draw a line under it and move on mentally, one day's overeating can't ruin a whole week, so chin up and get back to being good hun:)

that's fantastic, well done:))))

I find I can't get through my weeklys as well as my daily propoints!! I would be interested in hearing other peoples views on this as it worries me that if my body gets used to not having them, when I do use them on occasion I will put on weight:(

hi there here to lose, with ww you will lose weight all over, but to lose weight from specific areas is a bit more tricky. Obviously exercise around the abs will build more lean muscle under your belly, but in the short term this can in fact make you look a wee bit bulkier in that area, but...

good luck Bertha at your first weigh in, be sure to let us know how you get on:))) Wow Kirsty, that was a great wl for your first week!! Well done:)

Hi there, I used to make my own bread using soya flour so it was quite low on carbs and high in protein (I was on atkins!!) And given the way propoints are worked out that might be lower than conventional wheat based bread. If you want I will root out the recipe:)

Me again!! I was just thinking, maybe you could add in a couple of yogurts into your diet? Calcium has been linked to metabolic rate and weightloss, and it seems it could be something you are lacking so maybe this would help too?

Hi K4c3y, is that what you would eat normally everyday? I just noticed that you are having two bananas, I know that they are zero points, but in reality bananas are quite calorific, and they take up to 48hours to digest, so it could be them that is stalling your weightloss, as the rest of your...

ooooh, I was thinking of getting that DVD Laura, is it any good?

Good luck Charlotte, you have taken the first step which is always the hardest:)

Hi there Lisy, and welcome:) I'm a newbie too, half way through my second week. I did discover before too but always found myself starving after I had eaten all my points, but with the new propints I am actually finding it hard to eat all my points each day and never hungry, so I am finding it...

we all have our bad days, but I think you just have to accept them and start again a new day on the next day. Realistically how much weight gain can 1 day cause? So go out, enjoy your birthday and the next morning put it to one side and start again:)

aw thanks everyone for all your good wishes, I was down 3lb on my first weigh in, thought I would be more with all the effort I put in, but I guess small steps are better:)

yes, that could be true:) I'm just heading into my second weekend now so I'll know more on Monday!!

if you can toast a pitta in work I love to have one with some thin cut ham, laughing cow cheese and loads of salad, and it's all only 6pp, and of course quite yummy:)

thanks:)

great thread:)

that sounds great, thanks:)

mmmm, some lovely ideas there:)

hi michelle, I am wondering about the weeklies too, how did you get on at weigh in?

Hello:) I have just started WW pp, and am finding it tough to eat all my points, I am just about managing to get through the 29 a day. The 49 weekly ones though, I just don't know what to do with them as I don't need them! I have always been a small eater, my weight gain has been completely...

Hi Kelly, I have just started too, and am finding it tough to eat all my points, but I am managing to get through the 29 a day. The 49 weekly ones though, I just don't know what to do with them as I don't need them! I have always been a small eater, my weight gain has been completely down to...

oxoxallyaoxox just spotted your week by week weightloss there, wow, I am impressed, you have done fantastically well in such a short amount of time:)

sounds like it could be cutting out coffee/cola or refined carbs

I'm hoping for 10lb:)

Hi everyone, I have just started Weight Watchers, and am looking forward (well kind of!) to my journey. This looks like a great forum with lots of support.

a drink for 1pp? I am intrigued:)

ha ha pixar I love that smiley in your signature eating the choc bunny:)

thanks:)

well done, that is just fantastic:)

yummymummy, well done, it must feel so fantastic to be nearly at the other end of the journey, I'm just starting out but it's great to see posts from people that are near or at goal, it's exactly the inspiration I need to plod along taking small steps:)

Hi Sammy, best of luck with your weightloss:) I only started WW a week ago, and while it's a lot to get your head around, it certainly does seem like a sustainable and liveable diet plan, so you won't be disappointed:)

ha ha pixar I will get back into the singles if it kills me.... My goal for now is 10stone, but I would really love to be 9st 7lb, it is a good weight for me as I am quite short and small in build.

hi losemenow, I have just started again too, best of luck with your weightloss:) Our leader has given us one bit of advice for Lent - give up nothing!! As livable and flexible as WW can be, it's still fair to say that we have to give up enough to be on it (like the five sneaky biscuits while...

Hi, just thought I'd say hello to everyone:) I have just rejoined WW, after three long years of steadily gaining weight. I got the shock of my life when I was told what weight I had grown into, but in fairness it just makes me more determined! These new propoints are confusing the life out...
