Not been a good girl! Didn't weigh last week - was just busy busy busy. This morning at least I haven't put anything on since 2 weeks ago - have nt been feeling too good, have doused myself in jammy dodgers and other scrumptious but dreadfully naughty delights. Am not going to meet my target...

Popping by to say now Day 5, I haven't been sticking to slimming world by the book, but I have been eating only at meal times, no snacks in between other than melon, no alcohol, no sweets. No reason other than time and planning. So far I have lost 4lbs. So I have had overnight oats for...

Hello It must be 3 years since I was last on this forum, trying to lose weight. It never happened and I am at my heaviest ever in my life. So I have a couple of free hours over the weekend when I will be reading up, (I have bought the books and joined online) to get my head totally in gear to...

Hello all As the title suggests this isn't my first diary......I probably have one for most of the last 8 years :eek: However, all other diets that I have pinged and yoyo'd from and actually managed to get to my heaviest weight ever, have now been binned and I am settling with WW. I have been...

Hello all May I join please? I am re-starting on WW tomorrow after trying over again and failing at SW miserably. I am actually going to follow the Simple Start plan that somebody posted on this section, and then do F&H in a week or so time. It makes more sense to me, seems clearer than EE in...

could I ask a question about chips please? On f&H as they are stating allowed upto 2tsp healthy oil, could they be moved in the actifry with oil too and still be OK? It sounds like it is right for me but from having spent time mooching around SW where oil is pointed I just want to be sure x

thank you so much SlimmingKitchen. This is really useful, am going to print it out today and get started!!

Hello all I've dibbled and dabbled and messed around and started SW on 16 September for what I hope to be the last time. I've very little self discipline when it comes to saying no to food, although I can be very disciplined with every other walk of life, so I totally expect my journey to be...

thank you Serena, your support is very much appreciated. I spent a couple of hours reading WW stuff last night, purchased the directories etc 2013, and a WW pedometer. And downloaded a recommended motivational book to my kindle which I started, "I'm not overweight, I'm undertall" which I...

thanks Serena, kind words. I'm angry with myself not just for Tuesday but for the total lack of self respect over the last 10yrs or so. Nobody should do that to themselves. Today I have prepared fresh strawberries for lunch, grapefruit for breakfast tomorrow and have given my skin a good...

Morning all I am back with a huge confession that I did nothing but gorge yesterday........anything I could lay my hands on, lots of wine, chocolate and bloody nuts! And all because I had darted into M&S for a new pair of jeans and caught sight of myself in the full length mirror. A little...

thanks Serena, looking on WW online brisket is 6 pp per 100g but that doesn't say cooked or uncooked. The wine I'll count 3, and then mash will be 1 for me and loads of veg, so not too bad 10pp, altho I may have more brisket (cos it is bloody delish!!) I think the wine is quite high because it...

Oh thank you both of you!! Thats a little clearer......so effectively I could have cheese as an A and as a B on a green day?

Not difficult!! I have read that calcium rich stuff are generally HEA, but I've been trying to plan something and have looked at my downloads from SW but for a Green day it includes Cheese as a HEB, where I'd have used it as an A choice. Also, I can't find any A choices on the downloads...

Time to use up some of the ready meals in the freezer so I can start making space to cook for EE and freeze portions Monday 8 October B - wholemeal toast (B) with scrambled eggs L - lamb salad, 1 tbsp EL mayo (1), T - WW Beef lasagne (5.5) lots of vegetables Anytime - milk (A) 2 x Babybel...

Hello Have just spent ages reading your diary!! Congratulations on your brilliant weight loss and the pictures of you are truly inspirational!! x

Decided against EE today as couldn't be bothered doing anything last night to take into work so have just thrown a salad together. Jumped on scales this morning - absolutely zilcho lost (proper WI tomorrow)............can anyone please look at my diary and point out where I am going wrong - I...

Funnily enough, tomorrow is my first EE day - also because I love roasts on a Sunday!!! I'm just coming to the end of my first week, I've had my first red day today and I am absolutely ravenous. I've felt much more satisfied on Green days, but miss my meat. I suppose it is just trial and...

thank you, I am trying to be really focussed but I have to say that today (Original) I am absolutely ravenous!!! Going to plan ahead for an extra easy tomorrow to try to stop these hunger pangs!! :)

Hello I'm in work this morning (very shortly actually need to kick my ass into gear lol!!) but a "treat" I always have if I do an early on a weekend is breakfast (which is good because I have adapted to an original day) and a latte from the machine , which is lovely, and so much nicer than my...

Hello I'm starting SW today - hope you don't mind me keeping an eye on your diary for ideas!! Good luck with WI x

Hello Can anyone recommend any decent sausages that are low syn? Also - chicken - is it OK to eat the pre-cooked thighs and drums etc as long as skin is removed before eating - does that still count as Free? thank you Sorry for the numpty questions!! xx

Hello :wavey: I'm a dreadful "dieter", lose and then regain, have tried everything in the world, my eyes are truly bigger than my belly (but not by much :o ) so this is it! I've rejoined SW which I haven't done for several years, and certainly haven't done it since EE was introduced, so a bit...

Thank you both so much for your replies :) I acknowledge it will be trial and error but hopefully I'll get it in the end!! Yes, the WW meal is just using the freezer up, and the porridge is just plain oats no added sugar. thanks again. x In fact, edited to say I may make it into a green day...

Hello I've joined SW online this morning and am hoping to start tomorrow.......would somebody please be good enough to check out what I am proposing to eat to see if it is OK? Going to take some time to get my head around it after WW so please forgive me if I seem to be asking stupid...

thank you, I will do exactly that :)

I have had a few of the NUME meals and they are delish! A refreshing change from WW and Tesco lighter choices, and bulked up with plenty of Veg they make a real good satisfying meal!

Starting a new WW journey tomorrow but have just been given a breadmaker as a gift which I have used over the weekend and love!! How do I point bread made from it? Can anyone please help? thank you! x :)

thats great news!! thank you x

Hello Here to follow your diary if that is OK! I'm getting stuck back in tomorrow after my holidays (I absolutely refuse to worry about anything on holiday :) ) so looking for some diaries to read this evening for inspiration! Looking good, good luck! x

Hello! Hope it is OK if I follow your diary! I am "restarting" or picking up from where I left off prior to my holidays....... tomorrow, so reading through some diaries and hoping to get some new motivation! Good luck x

as a matter of interest then how many PP are the shop bought meringue shells? You know the ones in packets of say 4 from most supermarkets? thanks

Been far too busy to keep up with diary, but have weighed in this morning and have lost 4lbs this week, reached my 5% and dropped to 26 pp per day. Missed by first target by .5lb!! :rolleyes: Anyhow off on holiday on Friday and certainly not thinking about WW then, so I will simply weigh in...

I inputted my weight into WW last night and it has dropped my points to 26. I was previously on 27 but upped them to 29 as I was hungry, but I think I will give it a go as from today, kind of re-start my week but limit my weeklies to 35 until I get to Wednesday again. If I am too hungry I will...

Week 6 day 2 Busy old day today so not really sure what or when I will eat! Had planned berries with my OSS this morning but OH has forgotten to get them out of the freezer so it will be jam. Will just add to my tally later! OSS - (3) 1/4pt semi skimmed (2) 1/4pt skimmed (1) 1tsp jam (1)...

Replying to my own thread to say that I have a day off tomorrow and after having just put my freezer block bag for my cool bag, have noticed the cans of Stella Cidre winking at me... :eatdrink051: .........at 6pp per 440ml I may well be ditching the Wendy and going for one of those this...

Hi :wavey: It basically splits your 49 pp over the 7 days and I believe is supposed to just give your metabolism a bit of a wobble! I did it last year and lost 4lbs that week so thought I would just give it a go and see if I can get maybe 2 or 3 off this week so I am on target for my mini...

Morning Jaly, its lovely, like a mousse! scrumptious at 3pp!! :gimi: Well, not posted because there was a malaware warning to the board, but it seems fine this am I have weighed in and miraculously lost 1lb!! So I am getting there slowly but surely and every little loss gives me more...

Week 5 Day 4 Wendy plan = 29 + 18 = 47 pp Now this will be a struggle!! I could blow my wendy points on a bottle of wine but I have no meal plans for the day and am planning a random picking snacking type of day, so therefore just adding pp to a long list at regular intervals until I hit the...

today has been even worse!! What is up with me at the moment? I am on a self destruct journey and cannot stop!! I start with the best intentions every morning but go off track so quickly and then instead of trying to claw it back just think I've screwed it up for the day and carry on...

I managed to find them as a pack of 4, and had one of the honey ones, and it just tasted like a peach yoghurt, I couldn't taste anything different. Have yet to try the cherry ones, but if they are as disappointing then I will have done my market research and decided to stick with the ordinary...

Beautiful morning here, not a cloud in the sky. Yesterday's splurge well and truly splurged :break_diet:oh dearie me! Today and tomorrow I will do my bestest to remain at 29 points, but I really need to focus and not sure if I have lost that right now!! Weigh in on Wednesday, and I am going...

Thanks Jaly, I reckon 15 will be OK based on that.......I'll weigh the roasties and meat, and even if it tips up a point or 2 more I still intend to be 29 the next 2 days so have some weeklies in reserve. I should be within my limits by weigh in :) Have a good day - the sun is beginning to...

Splurge day Sunday Can't begin to think of a day off on Sunday with a Rugby match to go to without a Sunday roast and bottle of wine, my true splurge days. But today I am meeting a mate at Maccies too so need to think of what to have and I think it will be: Brekkie - grapefruit and banana...

Morning! Think its the size of them Jaly!! absolutely teeny.....and I could have a bag of WW crisps or an Alpen light or something as a snack for the same points. Anyhow, day off today so busy bee, not home for lunch so no idea what I will do yet but the rest is as shown below Week 4 - Day 3...

Not feeling very good today, too tired to eat! Won't hit the 29. Back to diary tomorrow

hello :wavey: I was on 28 when I originally joined WW online, then dropped to 27 when I dropped into 14st bracket - but I have put it up myself. I would rather have 29 a day because I don't feel as hungry, and adjust it myself. In all honesty my aim is to reduce in my weeklies, so when I drop...

Soooooo hungry!! Still feel hungry as soon as I eat ??? Am going to look into simply filling to see if it stops me constantly thinking about food because I am so hungry!! But am not sure how you can do a day , surely that plays havoc with your points?? Will go and ask some questions later...

Hello I looked for these when shopping yesterday and the only ML greek style I could find are the corner pot ones. Are these the ones you are talking about for 2pp?? thanks

thank you and no I don't at all - but I am allergic to kitchens so you may find very easily it gets very tedious and repetitive!! But I tend to follow a few and then see if I get any inspiration from them! thank you again! I'm very pleased and full of motivation for this week! :D

Thank you both, so basically I'd have to make it, weigh it and point it and then weigh a slice?

Dang thats bad news Pastagirl!!! I only had it because I didn't feel well and just wanted something quick and hot!! The spicy one is now in the bin!! Thank you for picking it up and letting me know :)

Here to follow your diary - your food is really inspiring! :)

Hi Pasta girl I've just done the spicy one again which is 67g pack (the thai is a 55g pack but unfortunately now in the bin) on the PP calculator on the official WW site and it is showing 2 (think I may have put 55g in last time). thats a huge difference!! Now we really don't know :(

Loving your diary. Here to follow if thats OK :)

I worked it out on the calculator on the WW site.......I was pleasantly surprised, will be gutted if somebody now tells me it is more!! The spicy one also worked out as 1.

Feeling pretty lousy today - started with sore throat and earache last night, feel this morning like I have got a golf ball stuck in my throat!! Hubbie did offer to bring some chocolate back to make it better when he went for his paper this morning, but I resisted! Sunday - day 5 Breakfast -...

thanks Jaly - that's good advice!! I think once I have got used to it a bit more and have found how best to deal with my hunger I will be willing to drop a couple of PPs. x

Just been reading up on the WW site about the 29 points being reduced, and after considering all points made I am going to put myself on 29 dailies, and reduce as I either begin to slow down, or my appetite (hopefully) reduces. I am finding myself incredibly hungry and these 2 points may help...

I love cornetto and they are so reasonably pointed for a treat - thank you for this list!! :)

Many thanks for that reply :)

Hello Re-starting WW tomorrow and have been browsing through some diaries - but I can't make out how to PP tinned fruit. Can anyone please advise? thank you!

Hello Josiecat :wavey: Here to follow your diary, which sounds lovely too!! I am returning to WW tomorrow after my shopping, after wobbling and wavering between every imagineable diet under the sun! I had a reasonable loss on WW last time I followed it, so I am hoping to do the same. I will...

I am quitting Atkins and going back to WW probably mid week when I have sorted a menu plan and points out. I've weighed in this morning and have lost 1/2lb in 2 weeks of sticking to it religiously and MFPing everything so knowing I am within carb limits. Also I have experienced a health...

Thanks both for your comments :) Re the cream and cheese when I first did Atkins I used much more! I'd have cream in my coffee as well as my cooking and also squirty cream on my jelly (of which I have had none!!) I've really tried to be much stricter this time, so altho I have put cream I...

Really getting frustrated now! :sigh: Had a sneaky preview on the scales and still not so much as an ounce off! Yesterday - B - 2 x BFD, 2 x bacon, 2 x egg L - cheese salad T - brisket, mushrooms, garlic and 30ml cream S - 1/2 avocado and cream, black coffee, Water + 1 x glass NAS...

Brisket with a creamy mushroom sauce and cabbage and leeks :)

Oh ladies! I bottled out of a cabbage but got a bag of sliced cabbage and leeks from Tesco and had a handful of that and it was lovely! thank you - a new greenie for me to enjoy!! :D

As my diary testifies I am struggling for a loss on my return to Atkins, but am doing my best to stick with it. I have had some great advice (thank you :) ) but reading thru some of your diaries I read of people stating that you aren't be able to avoid carbs whilst away. What does this do to...

Thank you for your messages :) Spent a lot of time last night contemplating if I should continue Atkins as I expect the slightest slip up will stall me like this, or return to WW. I have holidays in just over 8 weeks so I really need to focus on that. I will continue with Atkins until the end...

I know that this sounds stupid but I don't know how to shred cabbage. I've tried a few times and ended up out of a lovely cabbage with next to nothing because I cut those big veiny things out and there seems to be loads of hard stuff. And most of it ends up on the floor!! lol! I will try...

thank you again! I love dressed crab from the fishmongers, I may ask him to do me one without breadcrumbs and lemon!! :D x

Thank you so much for your reply! Day 2 - it was all Atkins orientated, I didn't deviate, I just didn't have time or motivation to post, but it was good food wise! I will try to up my leafy intake, tends to be salad leaves and broccoli.........don't like cabbage or kale or anything like that...

Soooooo disappointed, weigh in this morning and exactly the same as last week, really could cry!! Sunday 15 April Unfortunately the same as yesterday as I am on another weird shift and easier to just prepare the same! B - 2 x fried eggs, 3 rashers bacon L - 150g frozen broccoli and cauli and...

Can anybody help me please? I have just completed my first week on induction and stuck entirely to it- my diary is in the diary thread, weighed in this morning and not shifted even a inth of a pound!! Feel absolutely gutted - I'm in ketosis, I'm peeing like there is no tomorrow and I am...
