Well done to everyone for the last weigh in. Ive kinda been missing for the past week, as ive not had a good couple of weeks on a personal level so thats kinda spilled over into my journey. But things are starting to look up and im seeing light at the end of the tunnel so to speak, so im now...

I also made these biscuits which come out at 1pp each (they are fairly small though) 50g low fat spread (i used the ww one) 25g caster sugar 75g plain flour 1/4tsp vanilla or almon essence 1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180 degrees/fan oven 160 degrees 2. Cream together the low fat spread...

Sooo sorry. Had a bad couple of weeks and not been on here much. Heres the recipe for the chocolate fudge. I halved all the recipe when i did it and it made 18 pieces, but i suppose it depends how big a pieces you want! This recipe makes 36 175g (6oz) golden caster sugar 170g can of...

yes, its 1pp for 1 sausage or 3pp for 2

The fudge is in 'cook smart desserts' book. It has the old points in but easy to convert. I can post up if you want. This bis a pic of my attempt at the dark chocolate one then i tried it with milk chocolate too. I also made a cake, was going to go for the white choc and raspberry one but...

I made some chocolate fudge today from one of the books. Not really what id call fudge but its not bad works out at 2pp per piece or 5pp for 2 pieces. A bit bitter for me as you use dark chocolate but i think ill have a play around with it and see what i can do. Tomorrows bake off is white...

I have my books! yay! i will post tried and tested recipes as and when :)

I have just picked up my books from the library (after reserving them 2 weeks ago). One has been updated with propoints but the other hasnt, and sods law that the nicer looking things are in the book that hasnt got pps in. Im picking out my fave recipes and converting them. There are some...

Not been a good week for me. Everything just seemed to go wrong, rounded off with a rear shunt when out on Sunday. I have to admit I kinda stuffed myself with chocolate cake! Anyway, I knew id put on but was surprised when it was only 1lb. So a lb on for me this week. But its the start of a new...

Good luck on your journey, im sure you'll do fab! X

Well I tried the mint one today, and whilst it was nice I wasn't overly impressed. So I had a third of it then put it in the fridge for anyone to eat. I'm actually pleased, its stopped name from eating them as id rather spend points on something else!

2lb isn't too bad and completely fixable. Get back in the saddle (so to speak) and im sure you'll have a great week :)

congrats, that's 1lb you'll never see again :) well done x

Thank you. Good luck to all Thursday weighers x

Well after 2 weeks of losing a lb, i was starting to think my body was rebelling against all the exercise i was doing. But it seems that it's starting to work with it now and im sooooooo happy to say ive lost 5lbs this week :)

I found some, yay. In morrisons, not with the chocolate or even near the checkout, near the chicken counter! Yes, the chicken counter. Whose idea was it to put it there! I have a mint one but not going to eat it just yet, im going to chop it into 3 and have a piece on a Thursday after weigh in...

I completely misread your post, thought you want low point snacks d'oh. Sorry. But if im feeling peckish I'll have a cup of tea, usually the sweetner in it curbs my cravings.

Malted milk biscuits (1pp) with a cuppa. Jaffa cakes also 1pp. But ive bought some mini ones from morrisons so i can have 4 for 2pp and makes me feel like im eating loads lol. You can have mini rolls for 3pp if you want something cakey. or a kitkat for 3pp is you want chocolate. Theres...

i bought some biggest loser (UK) workout dvds from poundland today. They had a few other workout dvds and yoga ones.

i cant either, i visit various supermarkets and none have them (asda, morrisons and sainsburys) :( I'm kinda glad that the mint ones are just like the 2 finger ones, i wont be tempted to stuff my face. I'll still have to try one though, obviously!

well done, a lb is still a lb to be proud of. Bring on next week x

Good luck to those weighing tonight, fingers crossed for you x

Its called cook smart baking, still not sure if official but it has weight watchers logo on. i shall let you know if its any good when i get my hands on it

yes they do :) ive reserved one at the local library (not due in for a week or so). i think it may be a yr or so old but it said that its reissued with propoints so fingers crossed. Actually, not sure its an official ww one, ill see if i can find it again at check. It was called smart baking x

online it just says 'sweet potato', i cant find anything that says cooked etc. So i assume whats listed is raw, but i can give you those points if they'll help? x

25g bag is 4pp 34g bag is 5pp 55g bag is 8pp Didnt realise there was more than one size!

I signed up online just after christmas and so far so good. I did try it by myself october time last yr (bought books of ebay) and i did lose weight but i found it easy to fall off the wagon as it was just me writing what i was eating and if i was naughty i'd just cross out the day and not...

Just a lb off for me, but all in the right direction :) Good luck to all weighing in today

That's fab, congrats. I prefer ww to previous 'diets' I've done :)

no, I bought a step so I could do it at home. There's various videos on the internet to watch and follow, but I had my iPod on and a few songs came on that really made me move. :)

Not yet, but i have just reserved a ww cook book at the library called 'smart baking' so hopefully i can add some recipes soon. Can't wait, i have a real sweet tooth! I have a couple printed from the internet, but not tried any yet! Maybe if anyone adds recipes, they could add pics if they...

I've just done 20 minutes of step, to say im sweating is an understatement!!

i tend to have my evening meal fairly early at about 5.30 and then a biscuit with a cup of tea about 8. If i eat my meal too late it always sits heavy and leads to an unsettled night sleep.

Im an online member but i tend to weigh in first thing, before i have breakfast. So far, so good. I did it last year but completely alone (i bought the books on ebay) but struggled, so this time with the support of the info online, and all correct points for everything im finding it much...

I weigh on a thursday so i'm in :) Week 1 - -8lbs Week 2 - -2lbs Week 3 - -1lb

Poached/boiled/ scrambled egg on toast. Beans on toast Bacon medallions, poached egg, mushrooms, ww sauages (my weekend 'fried' breakfast!) WW bagel (i usually just have mine with lf butter) Porridge with fruit mushroom omelette Belvita biscuits Just a sample of my breakfasts, i try and have...

Sainsburys do some sugar free marshmallows and you can have 4 for 1pp If you want crisps, stick to something like french fries for 2pp (from multipacks) Chocolate wise, the little snack/treat size bars are good - treat size flake, ripple, buttons are all 2pp

I was going to start a new thread, but thought i may just hijack this one ;) Talking of activity points, is there a point when the more activity points you earn but dont use become detrimental to weight loss? Ive been an online member for nearly 4 weeks so its still early days, but last week i...

While we're on the subject of kit kats, has anyone seen chunky minis? They are listed in the 2012 shop book but I've never seen them. I hope someone is gonna make my day and tell me where to get these 2pp pieces of heaven!

I dont like peanut butter on its own, but with chocolate...yes please!!

I haven't found this yet, has anyone seen them anywhere? I'm hoping the mint has a layer of something minty rather than just mint flavoured chocolate! Ooo I love the reeses mini cups. There's a shop near me that sells some American sweets and they have peanut butter m&m's, haven't tried them...

Pork ones are 3pp for 2. Not sure if the cumberland ones are the same.

Does anyone know if the recipe has changed from the old Eat smart ones. I assumed the nume was just a rebranded eat smart range and i used to quite like those sausages. Havent had any since its become NUME though.

Grrr Last time i was on a 'diet' (not ww) nestle started their campaign to choose a kitkat chunky and i couldnt resist peanut butter! anyhoo, ive just seen an advert on tv that theyre starting another chunky campaign this time theres a mint one! MINT! my favourite thing ever! Now im just gonna...

Just after a bit of advice really. Ive started walking a fair few miles at a time and my current coat is a padded waterproof thingy. Its fine for short walks but the ones ive been doing recently have left me soaking with sweat. Now ive bought a few tops with some sort of technology thats...

2 x ww sausages, baked beans, potato crunchies, mushrooms and onions. with meringues, frozen yogurt and jelly. yum :)

Toad in the hole with plenty of beg, feels like proper comfort food, can't wait :)

Does anyone know when an app will be available for the windows phone? Im an online member and it says app coming soon, but when i click on it for more info it says page is forbidden (dunno if its just my computer playing silly bu**gers) I also cant track my points via the net on my phone as it...

Pitta breads or wraps are a good alternative to conventional bread. Or as chubbyduck says, soups or pasta. a big batch can be made and frozen so just needs to be taken out the freezer the night before :)

Turkey breast, potato crunchies, peas & carrots. :)

Oh a small packs of mushrooms are 50p (also in morrisons)

After i thought 50p was good at asda Petits pains i saw today that they are 49p in morrisons. Might only be a penny but every little helps! NuMe crustless quiches were 2 for £2, Belvita biscuits are half price at £1.24 And im sure when walking round i saw some ww frozen meals for £1 each.

Chicken stew for me tonight with loads of veg.

ww sausage and mash with carrots, mushrooms and onions :)

Its not a multi layer lasagne just plain and simple :) 500g turkey mince (17), passata plus chopped tomatoes (0), - have it as tomatoey as you like. onions (0), mushrooms(0), mixed herbs (0), 3 wholewheat lasagne pasta sheets (4) (3 for the size of dish i used was just about right) 60g...

i tend to decide what i want before i go shopping and usually stick to it 95% of the time. I'm getting good at planning my meals a few days in advance to avoid those moments of going to the supermarket and just picking up whatevers easiest!

Asda seem to have a fair few ww things reduced. Didnt looked at the chilled meals, but chilled desserts (crumbles/choc pudding/sticky toffee etc) were 2 for £2.50. the petits pains were 50p (i bought the last two :( must check again when shelves are stocked!) and quite a lot of their cakes...

homemade lasagne (7pp), ww bread roll and a big side salad. Followed by a ww apple crumble and custard. Wasn't expecting much from the pudding but it was delish

You'll have to let me know how you get on :) x

Good luck to you and your daughter. Stick to it and you will see and feel the benefits, ive only lost 8lbs so far but even with that i feel better. I tured 30 last year and im determined not to see another birthday in being this size. Think positive and you'll get there :)

Well its better than the way i used to do it, but i use a saucepan and fill with about 1"-1.5" of water, boil then return to a simmer. Place in the egg from directly over the water (not a high drop in), cook for 3 minutes and voila! Never had a hard yolk since! Of course this method replies...

no problemo :) Poached eggs are my addiction at the mo (now that ive learnt to do them properly!)

2 pp for a medium egg, points are the same if you boil and poach (without fat). large eggs is 3pp i believe.

My next weight related goal (first was to lose 7lbs) is to get to 10%. Other goal is to swim the length of the channel (in the swimming pool) in 10 weeks. then once ive done it , im going to try and better it!

Is the new shop book worth buying? i have 2012, is there much more added?

I'm sure i saw an advert in the paper that the NUME chilled meals were 2 for £3.50. Some of the chilled ones are really quite tasty.

That advert really gets my goat!! i cant explain why, but theres just something i dont like about patsy kensit! A purely personal thing, but she's defo not someone who would make me think 'oh i must try ww'!

Depends on the hot chocolate. I like the ww one with mint and its only 1pp a sachet. You can get low fat squirty cream which i think can start at 1pp for a squirt (so depends how much you have), and sainsburys do sugar free marshmallows and you can have 4 of them for 1pp (they're fairly big so i...

Sorry, ive only just seen this. It was a postal order, not a vast amount but more than the packet of crisps!

to be fair, the cheese puffs arent bad, you get a packet full theyre just not very cheesy. Im gonna be sticking to french fries, wotsits, quavers and skips from now on! But one weight watcher product im addicted to is the fruit crumble biscuits! yum!

Thought I'd just update this. I wrote a letter expressing my disappointment (1st ever one I've sent), didn't really expect a reply, just wanted to tell them it was a shocking packet of crisps. Anyhoo, even though its been a while, I received a letter from them this morning. Whilst I suspect its...

Hi, im new to this forum having previously followed slimming world. I have big problems controlling my portion sizes so i have decided to give weightwatchers a go. I picked up a packet of ww cheese and onion crinkle crisps at the weekend and decided to treat myself tonight. Anyway, i opened...

Honk :)

Although it is only my third week this time around i have done SW before. I tend to stick to original (red) days as i'm usually a big meat eater. I stick one or 2 green days into my week otherwise my body gets used to what im eating and seems to retaliate and point blankly refuses to let anymore...

I dont mean to hijack this thread but id like to ask for opinions. Im a beauty therapist and have taken the plunge and gone self employed. As you can imagine its quite scary and i want to get my name out there and get it recognised. As i was reading this thread yesterday i had an idea...

SW quiche with bacon, mushrooms and onions (no added extra cheese), salad and boiled new potatoes. Went down a treat :)

I had bacon (medallions) and scrambled egg :)

Well done to those weighed so far and good luck to those still to come. 2 1/2 lbs off for me today. Had a great week so was kinda hoping for a bit more but its still a good loss so can't grumble too much :)

Noodles tossed in soy sauce, chicken and mushrooms :)

Tonight was sausages (morrisons eat smart ones), slimming world chips, baked beans and mushrooms. And it didnt feel/taste like 'diet' food!!

Honk, and i've just done an hour of step on the wii so honk honk :)

HONK 5 days for me and lovin it :)

Wholemeal pasta, chicken breast, bacon medallions & mushrooms mixed with philadelphia light :)

Well done you, thats an ace loss. Keep up the good work :)

Good luck. I too lost weight and put all but 3lbs back on! Ive come back to slimming world after skimming over it the first time round. Ive had a really good first week so i'm sure youll do just fine :)

Bacon (medallions), mushrooms and scrambled egg. Good way to start the day when its miserable outside!!

First weigh in this morning and 6lb off. I expected a good loss due to my first week so im really pleased. :)

Thanks guys. My cravings arent too bad at the mo, but i hate to admit that when i get a craving i cant stop. I can never just have a square of chocolate, the whole bar has gone before i know it! haha. I may try reading a book/magazine see of that works :)

Thanks guys. ive never tried the bird one so will have to give it a go. Anything to work those bingo wings!

I have decided to dust off my wii and balance board and get on with some exercise. Started tonight with some free step on wii fit but what games/exercises do you use? Is there any games you can recommend that are fun and dont actually make you feel like you're working out?

Grilled chicken breast, SW chips, mushrooms, onions and carrots. Followed by an eat smart fat free banana yogurt poured over sliced banana.

Wow, well done you. Keep up the good work :)

Another HONK from me today :)

Hi, i'm new and my starting weigh in was last monday. So its first weigh in in the morning. I've had an ok week, off to a shaky start but ive got better as the weeks gone one, so fingers crossed. Hope everyone else getting weighed tomorrow gets the results they want x

Good luck, im sure you'll be fine. :)

Best of luck. I restarted SW last week after realising i needed a long term solution instead of a quick fix. Ive tried sooo many diets and after starting this again i'm wondering why i didnt stick with it the first time round!

Honk from me :)

I've been a long time lurker, and this site has helped me so much i decided it was time to join up! 3 years ago i lost 5 stone, going from 17st 3lbs to just over 12st. I felt fantastic but i did some things along the way that i am not proud of (skipping meals, eating less than a 1000cals a day...
