I plod along at 1lb a week until recently when I lost 2lb. Before I joined slimming world and dieted at home I used to get frustrated at how 'little' I'd lose a week and would give up after a month. This time because I'm actually eating properly and I'm enjoying the food that I eat I have stuck...

I've never been a fan of breakfast (used to drive my mother crazy!) so usually just have a piece of fruit with either a yogurt or alpen light cereal bar, or sometimes just fruit. It's bad that I don't eat breakfast but its the way I've always been, it doesn't seem to affect my weightless :)

Week 7, 11st13lb Thought I had a bad few days from Tuesday (my 1yr old caught hand foot and mouth and has not slept since Monday night, I've been on a grab and go diet or I won't be able to eat until tea time) expected to gain but very surprisingly lost 2lb! I'm now in the 11st bracket and no...

Haven't wrote down the last couple of days, there has been an outbreak of illness in our house and I'm rushed off my feet! Friday I had my weigh in and lost another 1lb taking me to 7lbs and my 1/2st award, chuffed about this only to be told by a lady who joined at the same time that she got...

Hi Doreen thanks for stopping by :D I go to group on a Friday morning, I have tried before from home but I need the extra motivation of a whole group of people who love food just as much as I do and to keep me on track, I give in to takeaway and chocolate too easily otherwise! Week 5, Day 4 -...

Heya Jellanut, thanks for replying! I did a mix of slimming world/weight watchers/slim fast all from home but I can only stay motivated if I know I will have to face group, it was easy to say 'oh go on then!' to the takeaways my husband loves (it's ok for him he has an active job plus goes to...

Hi all, I've been a member for quite a while but haven't posted for a very long time. After trying lots of 'from home' diets where I lose weight then gain it back (plus some!) I have finally joined Slimming World and have been attending group for 4weeks, going into my 5th. I'm enjoying not...

I've also used this recipe but add more peppers (and sometimes a courgette), low fat sausages and some smoked paprika, it's more veg, less syns and still tastes just as yummy!

Hey ladies can I join you? I'm new and am going to start SW from home tomorrow, I will go to group eventually but at the minute it's hard - I had a baby boy 6 weeks ago, 2 older children (6 and 3) and a husband who does long hours/works away for one week out of the month so it's hard to find...

I've tried both and WW is the one for me. Like others have said, WW is better for portion control - with SW you can eat as much as you want when it comes to healthy food but when I'm a sucker for treats and takeaways! SW syns are extremely high for this and I felt like I was denying myself - I...

This ^^^ This week I only lost .5lb but my jeans have got baggier this week - I think it's to do with fat and muscle weighing the same so even though you're losing fat you might be building muscle at the same time so it balances out and makes it look like you've not lost anything on the scales...

Tuesday 10th May Breakfast -> 4pp Toast with light marg (4) Lunch -> 3pp 2 apples (0) Penguin bar (3) Snack -> 5pp 2 mini cupcakes Tea -> 11pp Bacon and spinich pasta stuff (3) Pasta (5) Cheese (3) Total used -> 23pp Total weekly left -> 24pp Exercise points -> 7pp Busy day and really...

So it's the first time I'm making one of my orders for a birthday cake since re-starting WW. It's in the oven and smells soooooo nice! It's my fave, a white chocolate mud cake! Usually I'd put all the carved off bits from evening out onto a plate and munch them later (if the kids don't get to...

Well done :) I'm dreading WI this week for the same reason, it's going to be right during the middle and the worst thing is I NEEEEED chocolate! Nothing else will do! Ha! My food diary at the minute is all sweet stuff, bad me! :o

Thank you! In the end I fully pointed the curry because it was still a big serving but halved the rice because the foil tin it came in was a small one person size. I skipped the side so DH had all of it to make up for the small amount of rice and had a nan to myself instead. 43pp but oh so...

I am going to get the calculator but I'm using the wheel for now, it's not so bad when you get the hang of it. I've found lots of things that are different so I use it for EVERYTHING now, even WW pre-pointed stuff, for example, 1 wrap is 3pp points but 2 is 5pp, yay! :)

I Know the points from my eat out guide, I was just wondering if the points stated are for the whole tub? Me and DH usually share - so 4 chunks of meat and loads of sauce each and the same for the rice as well as a side dish. Would I count half or the full amount because it's still a big size...

You could try normal foods if you really want to use all your points, I don't tend to use 'low fat' things as such, I use my extra weekly points for treats. The problem with me is once I eat a little bit of chocolate that's all I have on my mind and before I know it I'm raiding the cupboard...

It was a take away chow main, I did google about it being the whole tub or not but it seemed to be a split decision so I went for the safe option of over pointing. It was in a LARGE tub and it's quite oily, so I assumed it couldn't possibly be for the whole tub, if so I shall be eating this...

I was looking at the generic bread. So my cheapy asda bread is only 2pp? I doubled the amount to see if it came out as 5pp like it sometimes does but still firmly in the '4'. 2pp less over all! Yay! I shall be using my wheel for everything from now on :)

At the moment if I don't know the points I'm using my wheel. I know that in the pocket guide it says white bread is 3pp, I used my wheel out of curiosity on my bread and it came out as firmly in the 2pp not even borderline 3pp. So I'm wondering if everything else I've used it on is correct or not.

I bought the magazine yesterday too :) I found the same with group, I couldn't go sometimes because I had nobody to look after my children if DH was working late, then I got caught in the same pattern of thinking - "I'm not going this week so it's ok to have a 'treat'" and then lost control for...

Good for you, well done! I think the first three days are the hardest so once you're over them it gets easier. Hope you get a good loss at the end of your first week :) I'm also at the end of day three and am finding it easy so far :)

I work from home Gracie, I started out by making cupcakes for my little sisters party - somebody asked where my mum bought them and she told her that I made them, she then came to me and said she'd pay for some and it's kinda just moved on from there. I don't earn a lot from it because I enjoy...

Saturday 30th April Breakfast -> 1pp Banana Coffee (1) Lunch -> 7pp McDonald's grilled chicken and bacon salad - I sooo wanted a burger :cry:(4) Balsamic dressing (1) 1 Fish finger (2) Diet coke Snack -> 0pp Banana 2 small apples Tea at the mother in laws -> 25pp :( Wholemeal roll with ham...

The ones I make are very fatty (the hummingbird bakery recipe) and putting the ingredients into the recipe builder they come out at 14pp per serving, I could make skinny ones but my family don't really like them. I don't make these as often but the cakes I do as a money earner so it's a bit more...

Friday 29th April Breakfast -> 1pp Banana Apple Coffee with a dash of milk (1) Lunch -> 8pp 2 white bread (6) 2 bacon rashers (2) Salad (0) 1tbsp Ketchup (0?) - It says 1pp for 2tbsp so is 1tbsp 0pp? Grapes Water Snack -> 0pp Pineapple Water Tea -> 17pp Nando's 1/4 chicken (7) Spicy rice...

I'm doing WW at home with the things I have already because I can't really afford to go to class anymore. Usually walking my son to school and back twice a day amounted to 4pp points on the online calculator. I no longer have the calculator so have to use the pocket guide booklet. The thing is...

Hi, I've restarted today and going to keep a food diary to stay on track and so that you lovely bunch can tell me where I'm going wrong if I mis-point. I promise to write it down even if I use 10million points on a bad day! :p So day one! Breakfast -> 5pp 2 Wheetabix (3) 1/4pint semi-skimmed...

Lesley thankyou for your gook luck wishes, i'm sure we can both do it if we've done it before - positive mental attitude and seeing food as fuel and not for fun is what has got me through in the past. Kagome75, thats the sort of motivation i'm talking about!! Lol, now for more excuses - It's...

Hello, i'm new to the forum :) I've been on weight watchers for a while, lost 13.5lbs... Then stopped. :break_diet: I found PP weird to adjust to and didn't even bother to try. I've gained 6.5lb back and need some motivation to stay on track and lose weight again. My major weakness is baking...

Hi!! I'm Carley, I've been doing weight watchers for a while, lost 13.5lbs then went off the rails when the new PP system came into place, I've now gained 6.5lbs and am not liking the bulge reappearing in places I'd lost it before - that and I can't afford to buy bigger clothes again!! I won't...
