Hi everyone, I'm getting a takeaway on Saturday night, will have all my 49 points as I am weighed on a Friday. We've settled on an Indian, haven't had one for so long. Was going to get a chicken dopiaza, half a portion of boiled rice and half a plain naan. Assumed dopiaza would be a decent...

it says 27 in the guide, it is only listed as "cookie dough" though.

hi guys, i have the eating out guide and calculator, i think they are from last year though (eating out guide is green with a fork on the front and it says eat out in pink) now that i have decided to start following weightwatchers again (from home) i was wondering, have the pro points changed...

here's your mate, i love takeaways! usually have 2 to 3 a week, but now that i'm on w.w i am only allowing myself to have one on a saturday night. indulge once a week, surely that's the beauty of weightwatchers, that you can still eat what you like within reason? just use your eating out guide...

5lb off this week for me :D i didn't weigh in last week as i couldn't make, so that 5lb is a 2 week loss. i'm over the moon!

9lb in 4 weeks for me and i am thrilled! this week i've eaten a takeaway pizza and a bar of chocolate, so i'm clearly not on a diet, i like to think i am making a lifestyle change. i couldn't cope without my treats and W.W allows me to have these. i love it!

i like my soups fairly spicy so i would go for a good, full teaspoon, so maybe in your case try half a teaspoon and see how you go? do you mind telling me what the recipe is? i fancy making a butternut squash soup.

well i lost 5lb this week!! (over 2 weeks, couldn't make weigh in last week) i will be enjoying that big mac tonight, so glad i listened and didn't have it last night.

thanks guys, i've been good and just have a grilled chicken kebab and salad. tomorrow after weigh in, i'll treat myself to that big mac ;)

hi, i'm craving a mcdonalds, desperately!! it's my W.I tomorrow and i'm worried if i have one tonight that it may effect my loss because it's obviously quite fatty (medium big mac meal) i've eaten fruit and cereal today, so have the points available to spare. do you think i'm better...

thanks kiwi chick, i'll take that into account next time.

i'm only into my second week, but last week i used 42 of my weeklies and lost 4lb. this week i've used about 15 weeklies and i will be getting weighed tomorrow so it will be interesting to see how i do using less weeklies.

i asked a similar question and was told 12 pro points, but that's for a regular sized kebab.

yeah, it is. i take it that is a chicken shish? that's what i will do for the breakfast, thank you.

thank you for replying. the place i'm going to is an independent, high quality place where everything is cooked to order, so i'm wondering if this might mean that the points might be slightly lower than 25? i'm going to sound so stupid, but i don't know what shish is??! the chicken kebab i...

hi, i'm planning on eating out at a lovely local bistro/cafe at the weekend. they do a lovely breakfast and i'm doing a little forward planning and i'm hoping it won't be too high in points, any help would be appreciated on the points value. 2 sausages (really good quality type of sauasages)...

thank you, i feel great, i know it's only 4lb but it's a big deal to me to find a diet that actually works and allows you to have a life! i'd be really happy with 2lb next week, so fingers crossed!

thanks for replying! i have 2 stone to lose :sigh: i started at 11st 10lb. i tracked every single thing on my calculator, i was completely honest with myself and will continue to be, i used my weeklies on an indian takeaway and a couple of glasses of wine, that's what i meant by not using them...

my first week on W.W and i lost 4lb, i'm over the moon as i used 42 of my weeklies and probably didn't use my points in the wisest way at times. in your opinion, should i still use the majority of my weeklies this week? or maybe only a few and see how i get on? oh, and i'm using 29 dailies...

this is my first week on W.W and i really fancied a takeaway last night and my OH wanted an indian. i opted for chicken tikka tandori pieces, just over half a portion of boiled rice, salad, 1 popadom and a couple of spoonfuls of mango chutney. i also poured a little bit of mint raita over my...

hi, i just wanted to know how you maintain your weight with W.W? i've just started and i'm using 29 points a day (26 would be a challenge, so i'm going to see how i get on with 29) and i'll probably use my weeklies at least 2 weeks out of the month (and hopefully still get a loss) anyway, i...

thanks alot girls, will stick to 29 for now (26 would be hard!) and when i find i'm not really losing i will drop a couple of points. i did used to find i barely lost if i used my weeklies, so i'd really struggle on 26 points and very few weeklies.

hi guys, i was on W.W last year for a while and lost about a stone, long story short it's back on because i didn't stick to W.W. this time i'm determined, i feel much more positive and actually want to do it rather than feel i need to do it, so i'm after a little help (as i won't be going to...

after a week of celebrations (best friend's 30th, auntie's 50th - loads of chinese food and LOADS of alcohol) i'm pleased to report i lost 1/2 lb! very pleasantly surprised as i definitely went way over my 49 weeklies, although i did do two really long, intense power walks.

another 1lb off this week, been really ill so haven't exercised. used most of my weeklies once i felt better! :)

wow! some great losses this week :D bindi - that's great considering you were expecting a gain. i lost 1lb, that's fine by me though, i've munched my way through most of my weeklies and i've done no exercise (well, 1 power walk last thursday) would love 1.5lb loss next week, so wish me luck!

i'm in a similar boat to you, 7 weigh ins and only 6.5lb loss. but it's still a loss, that's what i keep telling myself and i'm pretty certain that if i made better food choices and drank more water to flush myself out that i would be seeing better losses. my weigh in is tomorrow and i'm...

another one here who is dreading it... i've been quite good, only used 20 weeklies but the only exercise i've done is a 1 hour power walk. i just feel so heavy :mad: i look at myself and i'm still big, i don't seem to be able to notice a difference to my shape at all. normally at this point...

thanks tribecamegan - i really hope it works for me, can't see why it won't if i keep up with it. just had a chicken foo yung for tea, i had the points for it but still feel guilty!

apologies, i do eat veg! completely forgot it was 0pp, i don't really eat fruit though. thanks for the replies, just sticking with PP and hopefully, a month down the line (i'm already 7 weeks in) i'll be able to feel/see the difference.

Purple_Star - i don't eat any 0pp food! :eek: nobody has noticed a difference in me yet, but i'm sticking with it and they certainly will a couple of months down the line ;) supergran - lost a couple of inches, nothing major. i'm hoping for a 2lb loss this week.

hi, i'm currently on PP, enjoy the plan and feel better since starting it, but it's a bit discouraging when 7 weeks in, i don't really look any different, my face is still as round and my jeans are still too tight... i know it's a lifestyle change and it will take time, but i think 7 weeks in...

a couple of years back i was on discovery plan, i didn't have much to lose but i lost it in a few weeks, it seems to come off quicker on discovery. been on pro points for a while now and have only lost 6.5lb. i love the plan because i don't feel so deprived, but it's frustrating me a little...

had my weigh in last night and lost 0.5lb, felt ok about it with it being TOTM, i haven't actually had my period yet but will do by tomorrow at latest. it's the week leading up to it and then first couple of days of it that i bloat. hoping if i stick to plan and exercise that i will see a...

wow, some great losses, well done! lost 0.5lb this week, not great but not awful as it's my TOTM and i feel terribly bloated. hoping i'll see a difference next week, aiming for 2lb.

hi, after putting on 2lb last week (fell completely and utterley off the wagon as it was my birthday :o) i have been good this week, pointed everything, but used the majority of my weeklies. weigh in is tomorrow and i feel bloated, i feel full of water as i was due on a period today, now i'm...

hi everyone, it's my weigh in day tomorrow and i only have a few weeklies left so need to be sure i haven't gone over? been shopping today and popped into asda's cafe for some breakfast, i opted for a small breakfast which consisted of 1 pork sauasage, 1 piece of fried bacon, 1 fried egg...

I also get weighed on a wednesday, so will be joining this thread. put 2lb on this week, but it was justified, it was my birthday and i went out for a chinese banquet, lots of alcohol and lots of cake. i was devastated when i weighed in on wednesday, but it's given me the kick up the bum to...

i'd go for the shepherds pie and broccoli :)

covent garden soup is gorgeous, i'm having half a carton of the spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup (5pp per half a carton) with 2 slices of W.W wholemeal bread, spread with some countrylife light butter.

i treat myself to a chinese every saturday and usually dip in to my weeklies for that. if i eat out i use my weeklies, don't tend to use them if i'm just cooking at home through the week. i actually had my biggest loss on the week that i used all my weeklies, although i had done 3 big power...

thanks so much for the replies, you're all really kind and have definitely helped me to stay motivated. i'll be happy with anything as long as it's a loss, i was feeling a bit desperate last night when i posted (in shock after putting 2lb on!) but today is a new day and i know if i stick to...

oh bless you! i feel exactly the same, i've put 2lb on this week and i'm very frustrated with myself, feel like hiding from the world because i feel like a failure and like i'm never going to shift the weight that i need to. all i can suggest is that you do what i'm doing... start again...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and it looks great. Started W.W around 5 weeks ago, was doing quite well until last week (my Birthday week :mad:) Up until my Birthday I had lost 7.5lb and was over the moon, then I went to my weigh in on Wednesday and had put on 2lb. Feeling disheartened...
