I earn between 50 and 60 activity points a week and don't use mine. I don't think I'd feel like I was on a diet if I ate those as well as the dailies and weeklies. Mind you, I only use about half the weeklies too. Part of the reason for not using weeklies is to allow for any mistakes in point...

Thanks for the support. Some great losses on here again this week. Well done everyone. I'm revisiting week one in the hope of breaking the plateau. Downside is that we are off to the house in France again this weekend for a couple of weeks and it's likely to be too warm for much walking...

Thanks. Will be having this when the weather cools down a little. Lamb is my favourite

STS for me:cry:

STS again this week. Really disappointed. I think I have hit the dreaded plateau :cry:

Don't tink I will achieve it this month. 1 more WI left for me and I'll be gobsmacked if I do 3lb this week! Well done everyone Laurenasha - 9lbs (- 5.5, 3.5lb to go) wishbird007 - 5lbs (-1lbs, 4lbs to go) Kernow Jo - 8lbs, (-2 lbs, sts, -1.5lbs) 4.5lbs to go! Anj - 8lbs LittleRomany-7lb...

STS this week. Quite annoyed with myself really.:mad: I've given in to far too many boredom temptations! Well done everyone. CarlyLanky140: 64lbs (8.5lbs lost, 55.5lbs to go) [need 2.64lbs a week] - Tues WI/ 21 left Laurenasha: 39.5lbs *GOLD*(6lbs lost, 33.5lbs to go) [need 1.53lbs a...

Made these today...have linked to the recipe as it was one I found online. Choc Chip Cookies I don't think it states how many this cookie dough will make but I managed 48. Based on making 48, the cookies are 2pp each. Quite chewy and satisfied my rare sweet tooth.:D

I was a little like you. My diet was very poor with very little fruit or veg. It's not that I don't like it, just seemed a waste of time cooking it just for me (hubby doesn't 'do' veg). I had no problem sleeping though. Probably slept too much, I could lose an afternoon very easily. I joined WW...

It's going good :talk017:

Ooops, forgot to say...well done everyone! Some great losses there!!

1 off this week. Have abandonned the 2lb lost last week as that was the holiday weight I had gained, this is the first loss from the Xmas target I set originally. Carly, my WI day is Monday. CarlyLanky140: 64lbs (7lbs lost, 57lbs to go) [need 2.48lbs a week] - Tues WI/ 23 left Laurenasha...

Where did that week go!? 1lb off:o) Laurenasha - 9lbs (-4lbs, 5lb to go) Hannah - 6lbs wishbird007 - 5lbs (-1lbs, 4lbs to go) Kernow Jo - 8lbs, (-2 lbs, sts, ) 6lbs to go! Anj - 8lbs LittleRomany-7lb Kellie mum of 4-7lb (+1lb, 8lb to go) smirnoff - 4lbs (-2lbs, 2lbs to go) LittleMissThin17- 4...

2lb off for me:) Well done everyone. We are a motivated bunch:D Laurenasha - 9lbs (-4lbs, 5lb to go) Hannah - 6lbs wishbird007 - 5lbs Kernow Jo - 8lbs, (-2 lbs,) 6lbs to go! Anj - 8lbs LittleRomany-7lb Kellie mum of 4-7lb (+1lb, 8lb to go) smirnoff - 4lbs (-1lb, 3lbs to go) LittleMissThin17- 4...

Finally lost the 2lb I gained on holiday. Back to where I started now with 28lb to go! Well done everyone on the losses so far. Goog luck for the coming week! CarlyLanky140: 64lbs (5.5lbs lost, 58.5lbs to go) [need 2.44lbs a week] Laurenasha: 39.5lbs *GOLD*(4.5lbs lost, 35lbs to go) [need...

Thanks for the calculations Carly...it makes mine look very achievable. Well done on the losses everyone.

It's so frustrating isn't it! Keep your chin up, at least it's going in the right direction.

Bag of Rocket leaves Red onion 250g cherry tomatoes on the vine 2inch slice french stick (3pp) 4 slices back bacon (6pp) 2 tbsp Olive oil (8pp) Coop Truly irresistible Balsmic vinegar (0pp) Leave tomatoes on the vine, drizzle 1tsp of the olive olive on them and roast in medium oven for 10...

I have 4 WI's, though 1st August falls on a Monday and it would cover weight loss for the last week of July so does that count as an August WI or July? STS for me this week after a 2lb gain last week. Happy with that as it's a short week. I weighed 2 days late last week due to getting home from...

It does sound like we all have a similar attitude to goal. Another question...how do you feel about the phrases that people use at the slimming clubs? I'm thinking along the lines of 'no shame in a gain'. (Someone said this in response to my gain status on facebook yesterday and while I didn't...

Well done everyone CarlyLanky140: 64lb (2lbs lost, 62lbs to go) Laurenasha: 39.5lb *GOLD*(+3lb, -3.5 39lb to go) Littleromany: 24lb (1lbs lost, 23lbs to go) Karen: 50lb (6lbs lost, 44lbs to go) ErinW: 32lbs (0lbs lost, 32lbs to go) Katie68: 40lb (0lbs lost, 40lbs to go) Jackieb68: 35lb (1.5lbs...

Gutted. My first gain since January. 2 weeks away though so not too bad in the grand scheme of things I guess. Asamieds - 6lbs Hannata - 4.5lbs (+3.5 -5.5, -1.5) 1 to go Nomes - 4lb (-3.5lb, 0.5lb to go) Festivalfairy- 5lbs LEB - 5.5lbs (-2, ) 3.5lbs to go Skessa - 1lb Boo - 6lbs (STS, STS...

Well done everyone! For those who have set the ultimate goal, what made you come to your decision? Is it the healthy suggested weight range or something else? I'm not sure what final weight I want to be but will stop when I feel comfortable. I don't think I want to get into the range suggested...

Laurenasha - 9lbs Hannata - 6lbs wishbird007 - 5lbs Kernow Jo - 8lbs Anj - 8lbs LittleRomany-7lb Kellie mum of 4-7lb smirnoff - 4lbs LittleMissThin17- 4 lbs marylou - 6lbs Aliwsmith - 7lbs Boo -7lbs Slimandtoned - 4lbs dablaksista - 8lbs NeedsMotivation - 6lb Michellethegooner - 8lbs Nomes- 6lbs...

I hope I'll still be around even if maintaining, as already said, that's the hard part! I find this forum a great support.

It does get harder further in but don't be disheartened. You're doing fantastic in the grand scheme of things!

Well done all those who lost! Hope those that didn't can pull it back. Thanks Trefoil! Good luck everyone! I can't wait to get on the scales next week and see the damage!

I bought a couple of the old cookery books last month off ebay. The points for some of them have been updated on the WW site and can be found here Weight Watchers Cookbooks

Whats 'IYKWIM' ? It's so frustrating, particularly if you have been good!

Well done everyone!

Might just buy this one on your recommendations. Thanks

Hard work and determination. Loads of veg and lots of walking. Beginning to falter a little at the moment but that's partly because I'm in France and in company. Kept control of the food and the walking- it's the wine when we are in company! CarlyLanky140: 64lb (0lbs lost, 64lbs to go)...

I'll go with 28lb though I may increase or decrease as Xmas gets closer. No ultimate goal for me yet but having lost 38lb upto now, not sure how much further I want to go. Aiming for a look rather than a number on the scales. Hubby is going to tell me when it's time for me to stop. WW guide...

1lb a week is achievable. I'll go with that. Not sure I want to lose another 28lb though? Haven't yet set a final goal. Right, now to find the teams section on here!

WW have posted a message on their Facebook page. It says The earlier technical problem should now be fixed, but if you tried to log in today, you may need to update your foods again to ProPoints or delete those foods to get through to the Plan Manager. If you would like support with this...

I emailed customer services and complained in the end. If I was new to the diet I could have understood it perhaps but 4 months. My averages from the start of the diet are now completely useless. I know it's only numbers but I find checking past progress helps to keep me on track. I deleted...

Hope all resumes to normal soon. Not happy with the WW site this morning. Really annoyed!!!

:)well done everyone! I can't update until the end of the month now but still sticking with it

Has anyone tried to log in to their WW online tracker yet? I was greeted this morning with a 'points conversion' page and cannot access the normal site until I have gone through this ridiculous ritual that WW feel they need to put us through! What is the point. If I could access my account...

Well done on the losses everyone:D 2lb off for me this week. Off to France tomorrow for 2 weeks, hope I can keep the momentum going there. Question is, do I take my scales:confused: (It's home from home and not so much a holiday but more relaxing than here!) asamieds - 6lbs Hannata - 4.5lbs...

Thanks Lilacwine. May try the pork when in France next week.

Maybe if you are not eating all your points (I'm talking dailies not weeklies) you are not eating enough? x

Better than a gain but fristrating! Did you measure your waist etc. when you started? You might find you have lost there if not on the scales. I'm tempted to take my scales with me when we go away. It's home from home so not a holiday in the true sense of the word. We have some down there but...

Well done all you losers:D We can do this!!

That's a toughie! I love to crunch now and then but it's a savoury crunch I like. What biscuit do you usually have? Is there a lower pp alternative or perhaps something like a rich tea finger might be less? The other alternative is to break the cycle of the mug of tea...change your routine...

80g drained weight is 2pp. Not sure what the drained weight of a small can is but it should say on the label

I lost 1lb. Would have preferred 2 but hey ho. It's better off than on! When do you weigh in? Good luck with it!

Lovely. Just a pleasant spicy kick. I don't like anything too hot...it was only a good shake from a shwartz spice jar but made the bns a little more interesting

I am told that they are but they could also be diet breakers. While they are heathy snacks as opposed to chocolate and crisps, they are still laden with points. I was told one box is 7pp and one is 8pp. I don't know if this was for the entire box or if this was for one particular snack in a...

I never use mine. I earn between 50 and 60 per week (active dog) and like to set myself activity challenges as much as weight challenges. It's just something else to aim for and takes the focus off food a little. Are you an online subscriber or do you go to a class Caroliano? I believe there is...

Well done! Keep doing what you're doing. It sounds like it's working.

I was never big at school - not stick thin but average. Left school, developed asthmas and take aways and I'm sure you can imagine the result. I've dieted in the past. Did SW and lost just under 2 stone in 2005. Went on 2 trips abroad within a month and put it all back on...and more. Got to my...

I set myself 7lb goals. The one I am currently on seems to be taking forever but I'll get there. While I don't make a big deal of the 1/2 stone goals, I was on holiday in France when I reached 1 stone, I had a wine tasting weekend away when I reached 2 stone. Not sure what to do at 3 stone...

Looks lovely! Using the online plan manager tracker database and amounts given in recipe, the points work out at 17pp. This is for the entire recipe, not inc. the 'to serve' ingredients. 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 175g/6oz each), cubed 8pp 2 garlic cloves , roughly...

Good luck to all you newbies...hope you are all losers:D

I'd agree, I've lost 2st 8lb since end of January. Only had 2 or 3 weeks where I didn't lose but even then, I didn't gain. You can eat loads, it's really flexible and I think it's simple to follow. Good luck!

I'm sure my guinea pigs weigh more than that. Good luck with weigh ins!!

Oh right! I'm an online subscriber and have never been to a group meeting so don't get these titbits of info but, to be honest, I don't think I could eat them all! You get the advice pages but I only ever skimmed them, I got the impression that they were just a buffer. I wouldn't feel like I had...

1lb off. had hoped for 2 but I'll settle for 1 and hope that the missing 1 attachs itself to next weeks loss asamieds - 6lbs Hannata - 4.5lbs Nomes - 4lbs Festivalfairy- 5lbs LEB - 5.5lbs Skessa - 1lb Boo - 6lbs hilbil21 - 5lb KookietheKat -10lbs Lucylis - 10lb Karen -10lbs (2lbs lost, 8lbs to...

It's only a pinch egg yolks need a pinch of salt or sugar beaten in (depending on whether they'll be used for sweet or savoury dishes later). This will stop them from thickening too much upon freezing. Defrost frozen eggs in the fridge overnight and use them straightaway. From BBC - Food -...

google it first as, from what I remember, there are quantities per yolk. I'll see if I can find the link I looked at.

Might bite the bullet and try them then. Rum truffles are dead easy but I have never pointed them so couldn't comment on what the damage is. The only recipes I can think of are sweet ones - custard, creme brulee or not sweet could be eggs benedict? They are all going to be high pp at 2pp per...

Rum truffles! Probably not allowed at all but it's the only recipe I can think of for egg yolk!:D Is artichoke fiddly? I've eaten it at a restaurant but never prepared it myself

Having them for tea covered in jamaican jerk seasoning for a bit of a kick:)

Here you go Gemma. You could always add potato to any soup recipe to thicken it and make it more filling. Butternut squash soup. You only need to count the potato. Butternut Squash Potato Chilli flakes (optional) Parsley Peel and chop Butternut Pumpkin and place in a large pot. Peel and chop...

I never liked SW chips. I'm not a fan of ovened chips at all really. Prefer to make bns wedges or forfeit the points and have real chips once in a while.

Not sure if this counts - burnt strawberries a few years ago. Left gas hob on after cooking breakfast. Returned from shopping and placed a carrier bag on the hob. Up in flames it went!

OK, I think I have a chicken stew type recipe somewhere. It'll lend itself to become a soup quite easily....just ladle it into a bowl instead of onto a plate:D Will go through my recipes this afternoon. Sounds like tomorrow will be a day in the kitchen for you!

I lost under between 1 and 2 stone with SW about 6 years ago. It's a great diet and I don't think it takes a lot of thinking about but I did find it a little restrictive at times and I also found meals to be a little too repetitive.

Low point or no point? I assume you will want something satisfying to keep you going? I like potato and leek but I can't give you exact amounts. I just throw it in a pan. Couple of leeks, clove of garlic of you like it and a potato and either veg or chicken stock. If you use oxo cubes, you will...

Thanks Delleh

On the left of the activity tracker is a calculator. Only you know if what you did was light, moderate or intense activity. Select one and then put the time you were active for. It will give you the activity points and you can add that to your tracker. Hope that's helpful

Hi, I only joined the forum last week but started ww online at the end of January. I want to lose around 4 stone but have not yet set myself an end goal. I'm waiting until I feel comfortable or until imindoors suggests it's time to stop. Whichever comes first lol. I marked goals on my calendar -...

lol. It hasn't me either. I don't usually peel cucumber but I did yesterday.

I think I paid 69p for a whole one in Aldi yesterday. I love bns soup but have to add a small potato to help with the texture. I prefer it peeled when doing chips.

Assuming you go for one of the Ainsley Harriott varieties, it has flavour. It is dry though. (I've never made my own from scratch, it's probably one of the only convenience/ready made foods that I buy). Cube some beetroot, cucumber, tomatoes, spring onion, radish and maybe a bit of stilton type...

Has anyone been put off salad stuff with the German e-coli problem? I popped to Aldi and Tesco this morning to restock and there did seem to be some good offers on salad stuffs in both stores.

The only way I could describe it is like ground up rice

Well done on the losses so far. Hoping I will be there with a - or sts (it will be a relief!) and not a dreaded + !! Good luck everyone

Well done! Weigh in day for me is Monday. I've challenged myself to 5lbs this month on the June goals forum topic. Hoping to achieve it though will be surprised at any loss this week. I succumbed to Dominoes pizza mid-week after a stressful evening. My pup was attacked by another dog when...

He will eat a brushetta type meal, especially when he has made it and we do have salad but it's a polite helping (an obligatory leaf and made a cube of cucumber!). He'll eat it but it just clogs up the plate he says. He's a very typical 'I eat meat' bloke.

For speed, I like the Ainsley Harriott couscous, particularly the spice sensation. Not really that spicy but tasty. 5pp in half a made up pack. Just add water and either a drizzle of oil or knob of butter. Like Celtictiger, I like to add all kinds of salad veg to it. Roasted veg also works but...

I used to love golden syrup but find it that little bit too sweet for me these days. Has anyone ever made their own caremtl using splenda or canderel? Does it work? This recipe could be very low pp if so:)

Just had roasted cauli for lunch. Just cauli cut into smallish florets, crushed garlic, lemon juice and olive oil.Roast in a very high oven until cauli as tender as you like it. The cauli will char but it didn't affect the taste for me. Lovely if you like garlic! I suppose you could cover the...

Well I blame this topic for making me give in to the urge for a Dominos pizza on Wednesday. Have counted it though and at 6pp per slice of medium pizza, I doubt I will succumb again! Can't tell you the guilt I felt after. And the indigestion!!

lol. I'd agree about the exercise. I've done 'eating regimes' before and though they have been successful, not this successful. I think the increased walking is helping. I have 2 pooches. The one who is encouraging me to get out is an 18 month old westie x jack. She sits, stares and woofs at me...

1/4 of a 500g jar of Uncle Bens sweet and sour with extra pineapple is 3pp. With a small chicken breast as well for 4pp, it'll be a filling low pp meal that imindoors will eat with me. He's not into all the veg meals I've been having. Thanks Leanne

I find I have better/bigger losses when I have more veg too Slimandtoned. I can't get excited about fruit though. Wish I could but banana and grape or strawberry is my limit and I can't abide fruit on cereals....mind you, can't say I'm keen on cereals. My breakfast doesn't get much variation...

Do you get your 5(+) a day of fruit and veg and how do you get it? As an online subscriber, the drawback is not being able to share meal suggestions in the way people do at the group meetings....until I stumbled on this forum:) I love most veg (unlike fruit) and and can tick off 8 portions on...

Right. Sounds intense :eek: Think I'll stick with shortening my dogs legs.:)

Thanks Auburn

Soo funny. How many pp in the Warburtons square things please?

There are no pp if you use Oxo cubes but I think Knorr cubes are pointed. Like you say, they are still so low that it's hardly a concern. I made carrot and coriander last night to have for todays lunch. It made a change from just mixed veg. I've got half cauli in so might make your recipe...

Completely baffled by your exercise regime Kaz? What exactly do you do? Is it at the gym?

1st June today. Let the fun begin! Good luck everyone

Some of them. I was logged out when I searched for that one. Can you view that link?

This is the link to it WeightWatchers.co.uk: Weight Watchers Recipe - Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

I'm doing it online too Kaz. I try not to use my buffer points unless going out for a meal and even then, I try to eat low/no point meals for the rest of the day. I've never used more than 30 of them in one week. I earn between 50 and 60 activity points per week but have never touched them. I...

sounds like my kind of meal. I've found loads of lovely recipes on here. Trouble is, I want to try them all right now!

Well done on the loss. I'm new too and do the weigh in at home alone lol

This is the recipe I use for turkey burgers Burger (makes 3 smallish burgers) 300g turkey mince 1/2 onion 3tbs soy sauce 2 tbs sweet chilli sauce Dressing 1/2 onion cherry tomatoes balsamic vinegar (3tbs ish) For the dressing, slice the onion and quarter the tomatoes. Put in a dish and pour...

I could just throw it into a no point soup at lunchtime to bulk it up (& count it of course!) I hate to see waste

When I do it again, I'll be sticking to the recipe to see what difference there was. I wouldn't think there would be much other than being more tomatoey

Thanks. Had lost my way a little in May but am now finding it again

Can anyone join in? I'd like to aim at 5lb. I have a 2 week trip to SW France from mid June so that might be a little optimistic! My WI day is Monday but thought it was Sunday today so not done it yet. Will do it in the morning now as I never ever weigh at night (lol). I'm an online subscriber only.

Wow! That hit the spot!! I'm not sure that the finished result was anything like the original recipe though?? I've not shopped yet so had to improvise. I only had a few cherry toms so used them but instead of adding water, I added half a tin of chopped tomatoes. I also had no spinach so used...

Thanks for the welcome. It'll definitely be less of me. I am determined lol

Hi, I've been following the WW propoints plan since end of January. 35lb gone so far and still pushing for more. Stumbled onto this site on a search for recipes to help me along the way. Have to say, there are some fantastic suggestions on here, my meal tonight is decided thanks to the prawn...

Hi, new to the forum. This sounds lovely. Think I might have it for my tea tonight though I prefer to use raw prawns not that it will make any difference to the pp. Just added it to my recipe builder on the ww online tools and it calcutes to 6pp per person. Still a nice low point meal though. My...

Did you try this recipe? Is it any good/worth trying? I wouldn't have thought it particularly filling as it uses 1 chicken breast between 4 people though there's plenty of other ingredients. Thought I might try it with a pitta bread and salad to bulk up more?
