    Crumpets with choccy philly and banana

    It's not as chocolatey as nutella, and tbh I didn't really like it when I just dipped strawbs in it (the way I do with nutella) but I love it on digestives or the wee meringues

    Esource/ww app

    Thanks for your responses. In the end I just signed up for the ww online membership (plan to join classes when I start my teaching job in August) and so I wanted all my weight loss tracked in one place, and I'm hoping that having paid for it will give me more motivation! Can use it for scanning...

    Esource/ww app

    I just downloaded that app and the first thing I looked up off the top of my head gave me different points from what WW say.. (galaxy ripple, says its 4 when it's 5) and now I'm worried it's inaccurate? Got it in the hope of it saving me the ww online subscription fee. Have you found that most...

    Joining WW tonight....again ;)

    I'm rejoining again on Monday too! just been on holiday and put about half a stone on. Tried to lose weight before it, but I've just finished my PGDE and it was way too stressful to be thinking about dieting during it. Good luck!

    Do you cc veggies?

    I don't count my veg, but I also lowered my cals by about 200 on mfp so i didn't have to. It recommended 1460 for me but I aim for 1200-1260 plus veg. I count potatoes, parsnips etc tho.

    My diet would last about 2 days if I couldn't have wee bits of chocolate or a take away now and again!

    PROTEIN

    Ah ok, thanks! All sounds too scientific for me lol. Maybe worth looking into things like that when I'm closer to goal and it's harder to shift though! :)

    PROTEIN

    I've never really considered how much protein I have, or carbs or anything really as long as I'm within my calories. Should I??

    I just had the most yummy salad!! Spinach and rocket mix, chunky cucumber and onion, strawberries and 30g feta. I don't count my veg so strawbs and cheese was 110 cals. So filling too and took me ages to eat so it was really satisfying! I didn't use any dressing just salt and pepper but the...

    Eating back burnt off calories?

    I haven't really been doing any exercise since I started calorie counting, as I've been unwell but I think when i do start doing more I won't eat the extra calories. Some people may do, and find that works for them, but il try not to. Apart from maybe if I have a night out or meal where I know...

    January Challenge!

    When I was on weight watchers last year I used to get really demotivated when I went on the scales during the week and see a gain, I'd try persevere though and it would usually lead to a loss by the end of the week :) its hard though to see that coz sometimes it makes you just want to say stuff...

    Low calorie but FILLING lunch options

    That's just reminded me actually that I bought a flask before Xmas and haven't used it yet! Need to sit down and think about this, gonna get my tesco delivery ordered today full of healthy lunches of course :)

    Low calorie but FILLING lunch options

    I struggle to think of lunches too, particularly at uni coz I can't heat anything/make toast etc! I'm probably going to stick to salads and cous cous, things I can prepare in advance, with lots of chopped veggies to nibble on as well.

    online subscription?

    I liked having access to the tracking facility with online subscription but if you already have that then that wouldn't benefit you. It also gives access to all the recipes and stuff but aside from that, not much else.

    new ww ad on tv

    I think it's an awful advert! Really cheesy, lyrics are awful and didn't inspire me at all! Slightly offensive to overweight people, making out all we do is sit at home ashamed of ourselves not wearing make up and watching tv. Seen a lot of people tweeting about it, everyone seems to either...

    do you still get your weightwatchers pack with esource?

    If you join online you only get online materials. If u go to class the member ship is more expensive and you would get the starter materials plus a wee booklet each week. If you only do online though you don't get anything and you can't attend meetings.

    Does anyone know?

    I thought this when I was reading WW mag yesterday. The cover girl started at 10st 6 but a 12-14, but im 12st7 and I'm a 14! If I was 10st6 I'd easily be a 10. Shes also a similar height to me! Then the girl on the next page, her end Weight was 10st6 and she's a 10 as well. It's weird!

    Beef mince question

    How many pp in beer?

    A pint of lager (not branded, so may vary) is 6pp. Depends what size can you have then wether it's 440, 500 or a pint can! Smirnoff ice is 5pp.

    quorn

    I used to have quorn mince because I was a vegetarian for a while. My mum used to use it in things like spag Bol and as long as the sauce was flavourful I really enjoyed it. My brother and my dad hated it though! Not really sure about the nutrients in it though.

    Really wary of weekly allowance!

    The extra points is what makes the diet really liveable. If you had to cut out everything you loved it would be so hard to stick to it. I always use my 49, I think if I didn't use them and then later on in my diet I reached a plateau then there's nothing else for me to cut out! Also, if you...

    WW Online to WW Classes

    Help!!

    I think that would probably be the minimum of 29 daily pp and 49 weekly! This is just a guess though! I'm not sure how they calculate your points now, the books don't have the wee list anymore like they did on the old plan!

    The ww choc cupcakes are yummy, but at 2pp I don't feel it's worth it compared to a curly wurly or other chocolates at 3pp! They are gone in 2 bites! I think milky way are also low, maybe 3pp. I also like to have a blob of nutella, and chop up and apple to dip in for a chocolatey fix! :)...
  94. RedOwl

    Yeah I find it really good. Love having the weekly 49 coz you know if you fall off the wagon you can take it off of them! I like having them for a few ciders at the weekend, whereas with the old plan I'd just end up feeling guilty after over indulging!
