Technically you are correct, banana not speed so should have something else that is. However has it been working for you? If so then stick with it!! Don't change what's not broken is my motto!!

Hope ye don't mind me butting in here. Just had the very same "discussion" re: cooked v raw and finally managed to get my group to understand!! Ok so my numbers may be off but this is just for explanatory purposes. Cooking food DOES NOT reduce the number of points, it may change the weight...

Hope you don't mind me popping it, I suffer from blockages too & find that prune juice is amazing stuff. I have a small glass before bed and it only takes a day or two to get things moving. If you can hack the taste (I actually quite like it but I know a lot don't) it might be worth a shot! I...

No worries! I was delighted when i found it as it kept me drinking, whereas before I'd forget! Wouldn't happen with eating! Doh!

Sorry for jumping in, If you have an iPhone there is an app called iDrated or iDrate that reminds you to drink. You put in how much you've had and it works out what time to remind you. Not sure if its available on other smart phones, it's pretty cool!

It happens because there are no half points anymore. So for example if something works out as 2.4 points, you'd round down to 2 points because there is no such thing as 2.5 points. If you eat 2 of them it would work out as 4.8 points which you'd round up to 5. Make sense? Baffled me for a...

You've lost 4.6 lb :)

Hope you don't mind me popping in; I think what she was referring to was an article that was out recently about diet drinks. Basically cos they contain artificial sugar, when you drink them your body is now expecting something sweet, when it doesn't get it it starts to crave the something sweet...

This one is for Linda; it's 19.735. The .3 at the end is .3 of a pound not 3 pounds so it's 19x14 plus 7 and then .3 of a lb. hope that makes sense :)

I don't post a lot on these boards, but felt I had to here. I've read through your posts, and can I just say, without sounding like a weirdo that you are gorgeous & I really hope & wish some day you realise that!!! Your doing really well so can't wait to follow you to your goal!

Im not familiar with sw so I'll let someone who is explain. Ww however I am familiar with. You can eat whatever you want, once you track it. All food has a points value (some foods are 0 points) and you get a certain number of points a day & then your 49 weekly to use as you wish. So i get 26...

Hello! Just wanted to check in and see how your doing?

If your sticking to a few points below what you should then your not eating enough. I know people really struggle to get on board with this but if you don't eat enough you won't lose. Ww is designed so you can eat all your daily points (and even all your weeklies) and still lose. Eat all your...

Hope it's ok to jump in! Recipe I found for sweet potato is to bake in the microwave / oven, then scoop out the inside, mash with phili light or extra light, mix with bacon (quorn bacon??) and put back into the potato skins and grill for a couple of mins. Yummy!

Coolio! I used to have a podcast before but the music was awful & it was bad enough jogging without having to listen to crap music! I got now that's what I call running so I'm sorted!!

Sorry for jumping in here but if you have an iPhone there is a free couch 2 5k app that uses your own music. It just buzzes / dips the music when it's time to change. Least you get to listen to your own tunes! I'm sure you can get it for android as well?

Just checked, they're also 3!

3 pro point for the ritz ones and for the nacho ones! Eating one as we speak!!

Butternut squash, red pepper and onion. Chop all 3 and bring to boil in veg stock, simmer for 20-25 mins and then blend! Yummy 0 pro point soup!! Can chuck in a little curry powder if you like a kick!

I'm the same with sit ups, try a reverse sit up. Lie flat with your head on the ground, then bring your legs up and cross them, put your hands under your bum and lift your hips up...hope this makes sense. Maybe google it. But it works!

Butternut squash, red pepper & onion. All chopped up and brought to the boil in veg stock, simmered then blended, yum! Spinach and broccoli, same idea. Sounds strange and looks weird but is actually likely, can use a triangle of extra light cheese to make it creamier, altho it's pretty creamy...

As far as I know you can only go 5lb under your goal weight as well, least that's the way it used to be, may have changed so don't quote me on that!!

Hi, Am going to a friend for dinner later and he's making carrot cake, think he's using the following recipe. Would someone who has access to the recipe builder be kind enough to work out the points for me? Would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance Ingredients 3 cups shredded carrots 1...

There should be a wheel with your pack that you can use to work out points. It's fiddley tho so I'd recommend getting a calculator. Can buy one at the meeting or if you have a smart phone there are tons you can download. IWatchr and ultimate value diary are the best 2 I've seen. Both let you...

Are you sure? I bought the tesco own brand ones and pointed 2 biscuits as 3, can't see the real ones being that much more.

Hello, there is a recipe in the April edition of the ww magazine for spicy chickpea couscous. The recipe calls for 23g slow roasted tomatoes; anyone know if this is something I can buy or do I need to go and slow roast some tomatoes!!! Thanks in advance for any help!

You should get a book when you join with various leaflets etc with into on the plan. There is a wheel with this book that you use to work out points. It's not as handy as the calculator but its free! Also there are free apps for phones that will work out points or you.

Have yet to find it anywhere myself but (and double check this as I may be wrong!!) I think the full fat version is the same points. I was making the curry that was in the blue book you got when you joined and pointed all the ingredients separately to factor in my full fat greek yoghurt & it...

Are you sure it's 11 for 2? I hope that you are cos I got them recently but pointed 11 for one, if that was wrong then I will defo be getting them again!!!

I think ww just wants to you exercise a bit of caution. Health experts recommend 5 portions of fruit and veg a day; ww recommend not to go over that or it could affect your weight loss. If you are genuinely hungry then eat fruit and don't count it, but don't just eat it for the sake of eating...

According to the ni on the back of the tin it's 4 points for 3 sweets.

No worries! Its fab stuff anyway, your skin feels lovely after it. But also apparently good on that "chiken skin" (who knew it had a name!!!) hopefully it helps!

My friend has that skin thing, she says that the soap and glory flake away is amazing for it. She wouldn't wear t-shirts cos she hated her skin, but since using that she's happy out. Might be worth a shot??

You need to tell them ww is a lifestyle change not a diet, it's not about giving things up completely, more about making changes and incorporating them into everyday life! Then prove them wrong when you lose the weight and keep it off! And come here for support, best ww site ive found for...

Just has a quick look on the tesco site and pro pointed their value savoury rice and their regular savoury rice and they came out as 12 and 13 respectively...so might not be as bad as you think!!! Post up the nutritionals from that pack you have and we can check :)

Oh just realised these could be similar to cup a soups in that the ni for 100g is very different to the ni for the packet made up.. Interesting! Good to know (1pp did seem crazy low!)

That's mad cos I got it from the Heinz website. http://www.heinz.co.uk/ourfood/soups/squeezestir/cream-of-tomato-soup.aspx Obviously the packet says something different in reality!

I just googled these and worked it out that they are 2pp for 100g and the serving size is 70 so that comes to about 1.4 which rounds down to 1. That's for the cream of tomato soup one; not sure if that helps! What info are you putting into the calculator?

I used to always make the 0 point veg curry, it was a recipe from the old plan but should still be 0! Was butternut squash, pepper, green beans, (any veg really!)Ginger, curry powder, stock and tinned tomato. Have the actual recipe somewhere but thats the gist of it. Big bowl for free or have...

I need to post more on here, I'm a total "lurker"!! I'm from Dublin, can I join in too?

It's cos there are no half points any more. One is probably say 2.4 which rounds down to 2 but 2 would be 4.8 which rounds up to 5. Make sense? Best things is to always double check, just in case. Works the other way sometimes too! I know cracker bread is 1 for 1 but 1 for 2 as well! Score!

Well I'm not a happy camper; had a terrible week and put 2lb on, not a good start :( my head totally hasn't been in it recently and it was totm so hopefully I can get my act together for this week. Well done to all that lost!

Thanks Azwethinkweiz!!

Happy august! Ok so my pounds for august are 10! Bit more than I'd like but it is what it is! Would someone be able to update me as I'm not sure how to! Thanks and good luck to all!

Thanks primegirl!!

Wondering if I can join in? I've been lurking around for a while and figure its time to jump in! My goal for august is to be under 12st, will weigh in on monday morning for my starting weight and figure out how many lb that will be then! Thanks :)

Lunch is my problem meal as well, can't seem to get my head around a good filling low point one that's portable!! But what I do is have a big 0 pp bowl of soup when I come in from work and I find that it keeps me going so I can have a later dinner. Just an idea!

Hi, I'm from Dublin too! If you can get to Iceland they have the ww frozen meals for 1.50 or 2 euro a pop. Much cheaper than other shops. They have a pretty good selection too.

Hello, wondering if anyone can help. Going to wagamamas tomorrow and really want to get the chu chee curry but haven't a clu how to pro point it. Would anyone have any idea?? Thanks in advance!!

I have my eating out guide here and it just says vegetarian breakfast is 22 pro points. Doesn't say the size tho sorry.

Sorry! Remembered being shocked as well as I loved them as a snack, not necessarily for brekkie. Handy to throw in your bag as I liked them cold. Not worth 11pp tho, even 1 for 6 is a bit much. Boo altho maybe could have them as an occasional treat out of you weeklies?

Nearly sure the frosted strawberry ones are 6 for 1 or 11 for 2, but don't have one on me to double check. They're defo high enough though. Not sure of the other flavours.

Ah right! Phew! Sweet chili isn't listed on their site :( boo. Ah wells. Aye southwest is delish but not sure if it's worth the extra pp!! Tks

Am new to this site so hope you don't mind me posting!! Just a heads up, the chipotle southwest sauce is 5pp for a 12" (3 for 6") (had to edit this as had posted it wrong!!) Couldn't believe it when I pointed it! Presume when you say chili sauce that's what you mean??
