good luck! am here to follow. You had a rough start to the morning but i hope the rest of your day goes well :)

hi everyone! didnt have the best start to the week, ended up going out for dinner and a movie and have no idea how man points ive had today =/ but i wont let it ruin my week and hopefully it wont affect my WI Hope everyone had a great bank holiday :)

exercise is a fantastic way to loose a few extra pounds :)

we all binge a bit now and again the main thing is to not let it ruin the rest of your week :)

week 1 (again) but feeling optimistic and so far so good!! hope it goes well for everyone :)

i have around 70g dried weight with some passata pasta sauce with chunky veggies and cheese

u can do it without but exercise is a great way to get healthy, keep fit and loose weight quicker :)

First day back and so far so good. About to eat lunch but thought i'd write down my menu for today as im going out in the evening :) 4th May 2013 Brekkie- 2 golden syrup wheatabix with skimmed milk (5pp) Snack- 1 banana (0) 1 satsuma (0) Lunch- 60g uncooked weight wholewheat pasta with pesto...

Hiya everyone, I was on WW before and lost two stone on it, but i ended up putting a stone back on as I went through a lot of emotional ups and downs and didnt stick to the diet properly. I did Lipotrim for a couple of weeks to loose as much as i could and then resume WW so here i go. Tomorrow...

Hi Poppy, your on the right track now. We have all struggled with weight but the good thing is that it will come off hun so dont worry about it :) Im on this diet called Lipotrim, its a meal replacement diet and was designed by doctors and is currently run through participating pharmacies. It...

your allowed nu phar breath strips endorsed by LT, and ive heard the Listerine strips are also allowed

my pharmacist gave me the shaker which i found out wasnt actually free but i thought it was initially. Quite suprised to find out that it wasnt included in everyones starter pack. I asked for mints so he showed me the ones im allowed and let me have them for free. The success journal was my idea...

thanks Kay :) a skinny latte is a latte made with skimmed milk so it should be allowed i think

just spoke to the pharmacist and he doesnt think its safe for me to continue so he said to start refeed today and then come in tomorow to talk about it more =/

thanks Cloe, i hope it all goes well for you too, i guess it really was a much needed eye opener :)

thanks Louthlady, normally i hardly ever get ill, but it seems im going downhill with this nasty cold instead of getting better, and i felt weak before i got it. I was hoping to do another week but i dont think i have it in me to continue for now, and so im just going to start refeed tomorow and...

thats fantastic!! well done :D

yep thanks :) tbh im sick of dieting and quick fixes, although LT works well for most its just made me feel miserable and so i dont think its right for me. Eating healthy and exercising is the only way forward, a lifestyle change. I must say though, i learnt a lot about myself on LT, that i...

Hi Cloe, it looks great!! i have my WI on Friday but dont think i can carry on so im going to start refeed tomorow, but reading your diary will help with my own planning :)

Hiya, im planning to refeed from tomorow and will be going to catch up with a few friends on Sunday, were meeting up at Starbucks and was wondering if having a skinny latte would be okay on my day 4 of refeeding? thanks :)

hope you fell better hun :) xx

Hiya, hope you feel better soon. I tried exercising and couldnt manage something like running on the treadmill which is (or was) part of my daily routein. Its difficult but try doing light exercises such as yoga and dont over exert yourself because its not healthy. As for food, you were unwell...

Ive been feeling so crap the past few days because of a horrible cold that wont go away!! :( since i didnt have enough energy to begin with im literally finding it hard to do anything at all. My familys worried and want me to stop LT but i dont know what to do, can anyone share their thoughts on...

Good luck Torikus, seems like your confident and in control :) were always here for support :) xx

Hi Sam, Welcome :) People usually loose a lot of water weight in their first week, i always drink a lot of water even before the diet so my weigh loss was comparatively less than that of my friends on LT (and on this forum of course). But dont worry, a loss is a loss and it means your that much...

i got a white tongue, but when i was checking out ketosis on other forums many people said they also had white tongues and that it was a sign of ketosis, i have a horrible cold so i dont know if its linked. As its sore i think you should perhaps have an allergy test with the lipotrim at your...

hi Dee, i hope you get well soon, it could be your body just flushing out toxins from your system, however these drinks have a high fibre content which should prevent getting an upset stomach, either way I would suggest calling the pharmacist or doctor and explain whats happening, i hope it all...

Hi Bec, i understand its really difficult to get into it, i would suggest to walk slower, not look down just look straight ahead. Have your shake just before your about to go out becuause it will give you some energy. I think you should ask your pharmacist aswell for advice, good luck hun and i...

you could also ask a friend or a neighbour to taste xx

welcome :) i think you should ask your doctor or speak to your pharmacist to be on the safe side but hopefully you'll be okay :)

Hi Emma, Im feeling really weak, dizzy and have pins and needles and nearly collapsed. I dont think i should continue really for health reasons so im just doing it until my next weigh in date in 3 days, then ill do refeed n maintenance. I wish i could continue and feel so bummed but well done...

i miss coke zero :(

Hi Nutty, :birthday:!!! i know its difficult but im sure you'll get through it, and your efforts will soon be rewarded when you get into those perfect 10's :) I went to my aunts house yesterday for a family get together and everyone was eating yummy food and all i had was my shake, felt really...

hiya, that is confusing however i suggest you contact Lipotrim (you should have the number on the bag or in the guide) and ask them. As far as im aware the only thing your allowed is peppermint tea, green tea and nettle tea, black coffee thats it. I think its best if you contact them yourself to...

good luck Sarah :)

walking is a good exercise because your burning calories :)

thankyou all for your replies :) phew i thought i was out of ketosis but glad im not. Soontobeskinnyminni, thanks for the advice about the ketostix ill pop by the chemist and get them. Also i wanted to ask if anyones been experiencing pins and needles a lot? im getting them all the time and was...

yep, true. When i was on WW it took me nearly 2 months to loose 1 stone, and in 1 week ive lost nearly half a stone. Hang in there xx

well making it this far is a fantastic accomplishment and credit to you, and now that your closer to your goal you will hopefully get that push to loose that last stone, don't give up and remember u worked so hard to get to this point and WILL reach your target in no time :D

wow!! you look fab and well done:D:D also you may be classed as 'overweight' if your not within your BMI range, its better than being obease :(

So i've been on LT for just over a week now and have stuck to it 100% (except for the pepper i had in my soup on day 5) but today i started experiencing hunger pangs and my tum was rumbling, does this mean im out of ketosis? please help!!!

Hi Sarah, welcome :) i've just finished my first week. I started on Saturday so i can have two days of being in bed because i knew i would feel weak and cranky, but hopefully you'll be fine from Tuesday onwards. Im having my first shake at around 11, second at around 4 and third at around 8...

Hi Kay, can you put me down for 10lbs and my weigh in day is Friday, thanks xx :)

wow thats great!! hopefully you have lost 10lbs if not more :D and i completely understand about evening meals, i always have a chocolate shake in the evenings to feel like its desert and it makes me feel better. Last night a friend of my dads gave us a whole plate of samosas and i was literally...

Maybe its just adjusting still because ketosis affects the liver and kidneys and on this diet we drink enough water to swim in :p see how u get on today and if it gets worse contact your gp. Hopefully you will be fine though :) hows it going so far anyway?

I just put my strawberry one in the shaker and when had it there was a smell like gone off milk made me feel really like i was going go be sick!! Definately going to talk to my pharmacist about this

Even though i was overweight i was still an active person. Used to spend an hour and half at the gym 4 days a week!! When i started LT i tried running on the treadmill but felt tired and a little light headed so i stopped. I think its best to keep busy at work/home and to go for long walks now...

Thanks for sharing that with us Emma, it will help keep me focused on my most difficult days :)

Yeah i made a vanilla shake and some coffee in the blender and was not a happy bunny. Had to just gulp it down and get it over and done with. I have a shaker that my pharmacist gave me and i prefer that. Also i drink it through a straw now and find it better. As for the foul smell, talk to your...

im sure your resistance and will power will pay off and you'll be brimming with smiles after your weigh in :D

hun dont put yourself down, a loss is still a loss :) hopefully next week you'll loose more hang in there :)

one of the major downsides to LT is bad breath :( so i asked my pharmacist what i could do, he suggested to use nu pharma breath strips (endorsed by LT) so in meetings etc ive been using them and they do the trick :) Also, i use a tongue scraper, mouthwash and brush my teeth aswell because bad...

im a petite 4"11 and am currently 11st13lbs, so ive lost 6.4 lbs in the first 6 days on LT, how are u getting on? :)

i asked my pharmacist about this and he said its because bacteria forms so you need to have it within that time, also so it tastes better and is more nutritionally rich.

ooh loool i was a little confused for a sec :p but am glad and well done!! i think the first week is the worst until you finally weigh in, then it sets the mood for week 2. Im doing okay thanks :)

thanks Angela :D hows your day been?

wahoo!! a lipo-linkdn :p im a project coordinator at a human rights organisation (focusing on stopping violence against women) :)

wahoo!! i lost 6.4lbs for me thats a huge achievement because on Weight Watchers i used to exercise and follow the plan and was lucky if i lost 2lbs a week. ive lost nearly half a stone in 6 days which feels awesome :)

hows it going Amiliya? :)

im sick of them and im on week 2 from tomorow!! but unfortunately we have to stick to it, why not try jazzing it up? heres a fantastic thread on recipe ideas: http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/154410-lipotrim-shake-recipe-book.html also, if your sick of it, try a refeed week it might help :)

thankyou!! i had it and found it so spicy and so i called the pharmacist and he said that apparently were not allowed to put pepper in soup because Lipotrim is a scientific formula and pepper has things in it that can disrupt your ketosis :( i did some research and heres what i found: Making up...

Hiya, was just wondering if its okay to have coarse black pepper in my chicken soup and i dont have the ground version, ive been reading that the ground version is okay so wanted to know about the coarse version.

i hope your okay and feeling better now, please be more careful and up your water levels and take plenty of rest hun :)

Hiya, i was just wondering if its permissible to have a pinch of coarse black pepper (as i dont have the ground version) in my chicken soup to spice it up? thanks :)

i've has low BP since i was a teen but my pharmacist said i need to monitor myself and to notify him of any changes. I think you should too. Also, i do sometimes feel light headed but its to be expected, i agree with Soontobeskinnyminni that you should avoid hot baths, or if you do have one try...

Hiya, this might sound like a silly question but i was told that were only allowed tablet sweeteners, so it is okay to use canderel? im planning on making an iced coffee with my vanilla shake blended with a shot of coffee (and canderel dissolved into it) tomorow :)

wow thats great!! im getting so bored of the shakes so this will spice things up :D

yeah women usually put on water weight but since your on ketosis and drinking gallons of water on LT you should be fine :)

i feel your pain, my mums cooking one of my favorite delicious meals downstairs and i can smell it, they get to enjoy this delicious food and all i have to look forward to is another strawberry shake :( aah well, i guess ours is a struggle to get what we really want. Im just keeping my goal in...

hiya, i managed to loose an inch a week for the first month of doing kettleworx. its a routine of exercises that targets all the muscles in your body to help you burn fat and tone up, sculpting your figure and its 20 mins long, 3x a week (but i did it 5 days a week). It is expensive however...

wow!! thats fantastic LeeLee!! :D its really motivated me as im on my first week atm and have my wi on Friday, cant wait to see whats on the scales!! xxx

Hi Sherie welcome :) im sure you'll reach your target in no time and look fab for your sisters wedding!!! im here to support :) Also i highly recommend doing a kettlebell (im doing kettleworx) exercise. Its only 20 mins a long 3 times a week and it works wonders, especially with rapid weight...

im with you Emma, hows it going for all of you? Im re-starting Kettleworx tomorow and am really excited about it :)

was super busy yesterday and felt really drained at the end of it, but i feel lighter already and im really looking forward to my wi on Friday!! hows everyone elses day going?

had a good day today, felt more energetic and wasnt craving food as much, but i was wondering if this means im in ketosis yet or not. I've read that you get metalic taste in your mouth and smelly wee but i dont have that. Im on day four tomorow so hopefully will be in ketosis then if im not on...

it depends on your chemist, (you can find a list of participating chemists in your area on the Lipotrim website). i called up a few in my area and was given different prices. The lowest was £36.00 a week which is quite expensive but well worth every penny if it helps me get to my goal :) Good luck

hiya, im new on LT too but so far so good, but anyway good luck and were always here for support :)

i feel your pain, ive been there and struggled with my weight since i was 15 yrs old. im 4ft11in and was super morbidly obese but worked my way down to 13.6st. Its the biggest challenge ive ever faced but i knew that if i wanted to be happy and successful in life, i would have to overcome my...

i know it couldnt have happened at a worse time, but your health is more important and so your body needs proper energy to fight this virus. I would suggest that you take it easy and eat proper and healthy food until you are well enough to resume LT. Otherwise, i would suggest you contact your...

Day 2 was much harder, i was in bed the whole day because i felt so weak! hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, hope everyone else had a good day :)

aww yes he definitely is a beauty :) hows LT going for you?

thanks Louthlady, i have reallly bad pms so being on LT is going to make me like godzilla!! but hopefully it will soon pass with you, and i still have a while to wait :D and good on you for not caving in to those comfort foods!!

i did IPL for 2 years, and i was virtually hair free, spent thousands on the course. I started to get pigmentation so had to stop but not long after it all came back...with a vengeance. Ive realized that i can try getting rid of it as much as i want but its the hormones that make it grow out of...

i tried it and it took a few days but i noticed that the hair took longer to grow back

glad your day went well :) mine did to, although i did feel a bit drained towards the evening and had lots of water. Thinking of adding exercise once i begin getting used to the diet.

i feel your pain, ive been there and struggled with my weight since i was 15 yrs old. im 4ft11in and was super morbidly obese but worked my way down to 13.6st. Its the biggest challenge ive ever faced but i knew that if i wanted to be happy and successful in life, i would have to overcome my...

wow thats fantastic, well done you!!:D:D i cant wait to measure mine. I started LT today but ill be doing the measurements tomorow. Im also doing the kettleworx workout and previously used to loose an inch a week!

Thank you everyone :) First day went better than i expected it to. I had a strawberry shake to begin with and thought it tasted quite disgusting but sipped it slowly to find it more satisfying and it kept me going for a few hours. I had a chocolate shake for lunch and a black unsweetened coffee...

how was your first day? im starting mine tomorow, good luck :)

i found this Seated Upper Body Toning Workout: Chair Strength Training Exercises - YouTube there are other ones and hopefully it will help :) Good luck!!

Hiya, im a newbie to Lipotrim and my first day will be tomorow. Im hoping to keep focused with this diet as im willing to try something new. I was on Weight Watchers for a while but it was on and off because i was so tired of constantly counting points, however i did loose quite a bit of weight...

wahoo well done you!!! :D im excited its my first day tomorow and looking at your fantastic results is really motivating me :D

wahoo well done you!!! :D im excited its my first day tomorow and looking at your fantastic results is really motivating me :D

my pharmacist said its okay to use those minty breath freshener strips while your on LT so i bought a small pack today

i read about this on another forum a while ago, someone said its due to visceral fat (fat surrounding organs) which is what your body burns first. I think also to do a kettlworx or any kettle bell/ HIIT workout will definately help sculpt and tone your body into a natural slimmer figure. Im on...

Im starting tomorow and im so excited!!! how'd your first day go?

thankyou! just one more question, do i need to consult my GP before going to a participating pharmacy to buy the products?

Hiya, I was on the Weight Watchers programme before and lost a significant amount of weight. Then had a few personal issues which lead me to put on nearly 1 stone again within 3 months. Im going on abroad for my friends wedding in June for 2 weeks and i want to loose as much weight as i can by...

hey everyone, how was your weekend? i had a good one, i stuck to the plan properly and even saved on my dailies. i weighed myself yday and was 2 pounds lighter so im happy about that. I went out with my best friend for dinner yesterday, we hadnt seen eachother for around 3 months. She couldnt...

wow go you!! thats a fantastic result for your first week back, you've lost a good amount so im sure your going to keep motivated throughout the weekend :) best of luck everyone :)

haha thanks Sarah :) i had a break for a couple of months but started again this week. In the first two days i felt a difference so i jumped on the scales and it said i lost a pound :D i havent weighed since but will on Monday. I feel better like more motivated now and have a dress i bought but...

thanks guys :) had a good bounce back today, heres my menu: 14/09/12 Brekkie: 7pp 2 Wheatabix with skimmed milk 1 hot choc with semi skimmed milk 1 apple Lunch: 8pp 1 yogurt 1 cheese sandwich on nimble bread 1 tea with 1 tsp sugar Dinner: 13 pp homemade minestrone soup 2 small homemade...

not a good day today. I had a good healthy brekkie, and good lunch but we had a late meeting in the office and ordered Indian food. Even though i had around 14 points left im sure i must have eaten more points because we had a really oily curry despite my portions being small. Just incase im...

yesterday was really good, and i indulged a little today and ive dipped into my weeklies: 11/9/12 Brekkie: porridge with honey 7pp 1 apple Lunch: 1 banana 1 starbucks grande coffee frap 6pp Dinner: quorn garlic and herb fillet with ww chips, ketchup and some coliflower on the side 14pp...

haha Sarah have some!! it was really yummy though, just one of those days when you cant really be bothered cooking :p

Had a good day yesterday, was completely on the straight and narrow: 10/9/12 Brekkie: Porridge (skimmed milk, 2 tsp honey) green tea banana and strawberry smoothie (skimmed milk) Snack: 1 apple and banana Lunch: boiled egg sandwich (with no butter and nimble bread) Dinner: 200g chips, 4...

oh great! thanks for that :D ill go to Asda this week sometime and get some

thanks for the tips, im definitely going to buy some ww spread. Where do you get it from because i've never seen it at my local supermarket? ive only done sf for around 3-4 days in total and i see now where ive made a few mistakes, but now i love the fact that you can alternate between pp and sf...

its been good, i was at my cousins house y'day for dinner and there was a few fried things in the menu but i didnt eat them all, just tried a little, and i didnt have desert so i tried to do the best with what i had. Also, i prepared myself by not eating anything but fruit the whole day so if i...

thankyou!! :D i thought i was pointing it wrong, i used the normal chedder (not half fat) and didnt measure it so i assumed it would have been that much giving myself extra pro points just incase i went overboard. I kept thinking honey was 2 pp for 1tsp for some reason but thanks for telling me...

Hi everyone, thanks for all your messages :) Had a rocky start but now i think ive settled into the routein (yaay)! :) Y'day was good and i didnt have a single chocolate bar or bag of crisps, i was good :happy036: Heres my day so far on sf: 08/09/2012 Brekkie: 4pp homemade porridge made...

thanks everyone :) Sarah88 its so hard to stay on track with so many distractions but we can do this :) Anyways, y'day was my first day back, and even though i went to pizza hut with my cousin i was good (only had two slices of thin italian base veg pizza and a salad) and didnt eat anything...

Also my cousins getting married in mid October so i have to loose at least half a stone if not more by then so i need to be on point literally!!

hello everyone!! Its been ages since i last updated but ive been really busy the last couple of months but ive tried my best to stick to my diet although it hasnt always been easy...but now things have quietened down and im back starting properly again tomorow. Ive put on 2 pounds which...

well i dont go any exercise on Sundays but its up to you really and how you feel about it :)

wow well done!! its really encouraging seeing you so motivated! so thanks for that :)

yummm the tuna pasta bake sounds great, im hungry now lol how do you find doing SF each week? i havent been able to properly concentrate on doing SF just on the weekends but im keeping to it properly this weekend. It sounds really good though :)

no worries Sarah, i hope you achieve fantastic results from it :) although i suggest to keep one day as rest because your muscles need time to recover, Sundays are my recovery days :)

yep, ive been doing it 5 sometimes 6 days a week. Some weeks have gone by without exercise because of my own laziness and i havent been to good with the diet eithier. I started this in March and had a month of no activity and ive only just begun again so in three months ive made what i think is...

its amazing you can do 50 minutes, i cant do more than my 20, i get to tired!! but i do other workouts before and leave that til last

nope it was collectively, i lost 1 inch in my waist, half and half on bust and hips, didnt see any difference on my thighs or arms (suprisingly) but from when i started till now ive lost 2 inches from my arms and 3 from my thighs, 5 from my waist, 3 from my bust and 4 from my hips so its worked...

thanks guys! it was a hectic weekend but i guess its a part of life. Anyways im glad the kettlebell classes were good for you Atomic, and im glad you had a lovely weekend with your daughter Bulldogdaisy :) Ive never done classes as such but i do want to try them out if its any good, you will...

hi all, feels like forever since i last wrote here, but basically i had a very naughty weekend completely off plan which went into yesterday, but im back on point from today onwards. The weekend was full of weddings ans sadly a funeral as well and a birthday which didnt exactly go to plan but i...

thanks Atomic pink :) i dont think i could cope with an 8kg kettlebell, im just about coping with 5kg!! but its good that you can, that way your workout will be more intense and you can loose more, but 5kg is a good one for me. I dont want to push my body so far so soon, when ive done my 6...

thanks Atomic pink :) i dont think i could cope with an 8kg kettlebell, im just about coping with 5kg!! but its good that you can, that way your workout will be more intense and you can loose more, but 5kg is a good one for me. I dont want to push my body so far so soon, whwn ive done my 6...

Also, i have some really good workout videos on youtube if anyones interested, just let me know and ill post them here :)

im glad this has peaked your interest because it really works, for a beginner i would suggest using a 5kg kettlebell, you can buy one from tesco direct for a tenner here: Buy One Body 5kg Kettlebell from our Weights range - Tesco.com Im still using the 5kg kettlebell and its worked fine for...

it really is a fantastic workout and because its short you dont feel lazy about doing it, the thought of working out for an hour at the gym sometimes used to put me off exercise, but you can do this at home as well which suits me more, and the best part is that im achieving results quicker than...

its a very good question but to start of with i bought the kettlebell from tesco direct because its really cheap there (if your interested go for cast iron) and was just doing the workouts from Youtube. Then my cousin told me that groupon was doing a great deal on the Kettleworx set so i bought...

Hiya, Im fairly new to SF myself, last week was my first week on it, i find weekends suit me most to stay on it, and do pro points on weekdays. Its really good because you can alternate what days your doing it and its a really good plan. Anyways, heres a list of free foods on SF...

hello all, just calculated my daily allowance and ive used up 31pp. Didnt have lunch and had my brekkie at 6, and my mid morning snack at 10am. so heres my diary 03/07/12 Brekkie: 2 Nimble toasts 3pp 2 small servings of light butter 2pp 1 digestive bicci 2pp tea 1pp Snack: 1 banana 0pp 1...

thanks! I only did SF on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday last week, but ill just do it on Sat and Sun this week :)

hi all, i just weighed myself and ive lost 2 pounds! yaay!! :D i felt quite bad that i ate a lot of junk so i expected to stay the same or worse but im happy i lost

i just found a really nice recipe i might try for sharwama, i think most of it would be free on SF Arabic lamb shawarma: Recipes: Good Food Channel

hows SF going for you? im loving it at the moment :) i think though ill keep it for the weekends because i can enjoy them without stressing lol

yeah lol i was very grumpy and until i had my food, but basically a shawarma is like a doner kebab but different, its marinated meat (which is really tasty) that they make into a wrap with salad, pickles and different sauces, and its quite big. They serve them in Lebanese, Arab or Turkish...

Hi guys, hope your all having a good weekend. Juat a quick update, i ate nothing but fruit the whole day yday because my brother was treating us out to a meal and i had a sharwama meat with chips (none of which i finished) and this delicious halloumi cheese with pesto and salad as a starter...

happy birthday! hope you have a great day :) x

its weird, i always get the crazy chocolate munchies at night and earlier i had a big bag of maltesers which came up to around 15pp in addition to iced coffee my mum made which i think came up to 10pp but ill take it out of my weeklies. 25 weeklies today eek!! anyways, heres my diary for yday...

aww thats sounds lovely, i hope you have a fantastic day with your family, enjoy the treat you deserve it :)

Happy birthday for tomorow!! :D i hope you have a great day and dint worry about having a bad day we all have one of those but dont let it ruin the rest of your week :) aww i caved and ate some maltesers because i was feeling a bit down lol but its okay because i will have my weeklies to dip...

haha! oh it was so delicious, i felt guilty afterwards but now not so much :) hows it going for you?

Hi everyone, I had a good day today until my uncle came over and bought homemade cake...yeah it didnt end so well lol but ive taken out 10 pp from my weeklies as a guesstimate (even though i did take of the cream) but just incase im taking out 10pp. Okay so here goes. 28/06/12 Brekkie: 1...

thanks guys, i know its to soon to tell but because i felt more free about the foods i could eat on SF and allowed a day without much point counting, i found it a lot easier today like i was more relaxed with it (if it makes sense) so im going to see how the rest of the week goes and will let...

yuck i hate shredded wheat, but dont mind porridge so i guess that or bread in the morning will suit be just fine. I was thinking about it last night and thought that i would save my weeklies for the weekend and so SF on Saturday and Sunday so i have something to look forward to and do my pp...

yeah i was told i had to have 29 points a day at my meeting so im stuck on that. I dont always use up my points but i try not to have anything under 26 or anything over 29 :)

thanks :) I ended up doing my pro points system today because i had special K in the morning and i dont know if thats free on SF and dont want to have to point that from my weeklies, so i thought i'd do my dailies today. Heres my food diary for today: 27/06/12 Brekkie- Bowl of Special K...

Hi everyone, I was doing some research on kettlebells and found a study by the American Council of Exercise on the effects of kettlebells on the body, its a very interesting read for all you kettlebellers out there :) http://www.acefitness.org/getfit/studies/kettlebells012010.pdf

Hi Sarah, ive been reading through your diary and its really motivating me and im learning some valuable tips, so well done for loosing such an amazing amount of weight :) Im here to sub

next Monday, i figure that if ive lost weight then its the perfect start to the week and if ive gained then it will motivate me to loose for the next wi :)

Thanks Bectoria79! :D youve achieved great results yourself, and your already half way there!! :) just a quick update i had a crunchie bar (it was staring at me the whole day and i finally succumbed) :( so that brings my weeklies to 39/49

well just for me i use half a carton and if theres any leftovers i take it for lunch with me the next day

sounds yumm ill try making that this week sometime :)

yeah its really easy and quick to make, it takes less than 10 mins to make

yeah its simple but it does the job and tastes nice lol

thanks :) btw ive started a new diary which ive linked in my signature, thanks for the suggestion :)

well here goes... ive been reading many diaries and other threads since i joined Minimins and its encouraged me to start up a new diary since this is a new start for me. I have another diary on the pro points system where ive lost nearly 2 stones since Feb 2012 but ive been struggling recently...

i was thinking of starting one, might start today :)

does anyone know if we have to point a fried egg (in 1 tsp olive oil) and two slices of nimble bread? thanks :)

thanks, and hope it goes well for you too :D

lol we can both learn and benefit from eachother :) have a lovely day!!

thanks for introducing the simply filling plan to me, i was completely unaware of it. When i was reading about it earlier i felt so relieved because im having way to many slip ups and cant afford to back to square one and two stones heavier!! i actually feel like i can eat more and feel...

so from what i understand, you can eat certain proteins such as chicken, beef and unprocessed meats and can also eat whole wheat breads and pastas without having to count them, right? if ive misunderstood this then please let me know because i hate obsessing with my current pro points :)

Hi everyone, Ive been following the ww pro points system from home for a while now but im beginning to finding it difficult to loose weight. Whilst reading other posts i came across the Simply Filling plan but im not sure what it is and what it involves, but i want to try it because im not...

Hi sorry everyone, i havent posted in a while its just been really crazy atm but just a quick update, ive stayed the same since my last weigh in which im happy with since ive been a bit naughty with the snacks but have been exercising when i can. Thanks bulldogdaisy!! yep kettlebells is really...

my story really stems from my childhood, lets just say that i didnt really have a good one and my pain and isolation led me to comfort eat. Growing up i was teased and bullied in middle and high school, and being called names, not being able to wear nice clothes (especially in high school)...

Hi everyone, Recently, I've been hearing a lot about this wrap treatment that helps you loose up to 6 plus inches per treatment, by lifting and firming the skin as it drains out toxins from the body. I'm thinking of getting a few sessions but i don't want to get it if its short term or if it...

Hiya everyone, Basically i started off this diary on a high after almost reaching my two stone mark, but then hit another low when i injured my foot and couldnt exercise for two weeks. Im the kind of person that tries to stick to the plan when i know i cant exercise but it doesnt work, my diet...

Heya hun, sorry for the late reply ive just been really busy but im glad your focused on your goal and i know you'll reach it soon :) I am doing the kettleworx plan and yep there are lots of DVD to that, and its also very expensive but before i started kettleworx i would follow some youtube...

Hi all, i havent been very sensible this weekend because ive been working really long hours and havent had time to eat so ive just grabbed the quickest think i could during breaks to keep me going. My foot injury hasnt really helped because i cant exercise but im feeling better today and ill...

Hi Emma, thanks for your support and well done you for loosing a stone!! thats fantastic and keep it up!! :D Dont feel discouraged because we all have bad days so i understand completely, (i had a bad weekend of eating junk so im sure i must have put on) but i wont let that put me down...

Hi all, I haven't updated in a while but the last couple of days i haven't been able to exercise as i injured my foot and the doc said i need to rest it for a week so im feeling a bit down about that. Nevertheless im going to keep at the points and hopefully will manage to loose something with...

Hi all :) I've been reading some very inspirational threads on this site for quite a while now but decided to finally write a diary to hopefully keep me motivated and focused on my goal. My name is Sarah and im 23. Im on the Weight Watchers plan and im doing the Kettleworx challenge to keep...

sorry its not 25% but it does boost your metabolism.

i just read that drinking 4 cups of green tea a day can boost your metabolism by 25% so count me in!! :D

i know kettlebells helps you tone up and loose inches but im not sure if it will help in bulking up. I think maybe he should consult a nutritionist and a personal trainer for best advice tailored specifically for him and that might help. Good luck :)

Hi Ellen, I was looking for the same thing but i found this on another thread, its called 'Zero Noodles' and its very low in fat and aids weight loss. Im thinking about giving it a try and others who have tried it have recommended it. I think you can order it of here: Zero Noodles Good luck :)

Hiya, I had a little break during Easter because we had family around, and ive been back on track but every night i get these intense chocolate cravings and i find it difficult to stay away no matter how hard i try to. Has anyone else experienced this? Im on point every day but this only...

i found this butternut squash soup recipe on youtube, the best part is that its zero points and yumm :) Weight Watchers Recipe - Butternut squash soup - zero pro points!! - YouTube enjoy :)

Im on WW and have noticed that im loosing weight on the scales, as well firming up on kettleworx :D I think it makes a difference if your following a specific diet that helps you loose weight.

i was on the Montignac diet a few years ago and lost over half a stone in a month with exercise. I must say that its fantastic but i couldnt stick to it. I hope it works well for you though :)

Hey everyone! I was speaking to a friend who told me that loosing a lot of weight quickly will give you saggy skin, and the KB workout makes me loose weight quicker than anything else ive tried. Im worried since i have to loose 52 pounds which is a lot of weight, but at the same time the KB...

hi, welcome to Weight Watchers! :) I find Weight Watchers convenient because you can eat whatever as long as you point it. You have 29 pro points a day (you cant reuse some points from previous days, each day is only 29) and you have 49 weeklies meaning you can go over on your dailies but i...

i think you should just point it the same as normal chicken stock but if you want to add a couple of points on top just in case.

chicken chow mein is 9pp pro points to a handful of chips will depend on it its been fried or oven baked, but a standard portion from the chippy is 13pp so maybe half that, lets say 6pp theres around 13 pp in a portion of chicken balls, so lets say 8pp a drizzle of sweet and sour 3pp (depending...

on my calculator it came up at 2pp for 1 stick

with one sugar and semi skimmed milk its 2pp, but with just milk its 1pp :)

Hi, ive read around and theres nothing in the pocket guide or on the website but from other forums people have pointed a small one with pitta bread and garlic sauce at 25-30pp just to be safe. I hope that helps :)

Hi Donzy, that looks fantastic! Ive only been using KB for around 10 days so far but ive already lost over an inch in most places! Thats a huge achievement especially since it usually takes me to loose that much in 2-3 weeks with other workouts. Im really impressed and keep it up :)

Hi steph, if you need to know anything about WW then just ask away:) good luck

Hi Zoe, well done for joining Weight Watchers, im sure you'll find all the success and support you need. Just keep focusing on your goal to become a parent (hopefully) and i wish you and your husband the best of luck :)

Hi Clairebear22 your diary looks great so far, keep it going :)

yes :( my foot got injured while exercising so i cant workout for 2 weeks and on top of that ive been careless with my food by not eating healthy foods and eating junk instead (although i keep to my daily allowance)...hopefully tomorrow will be a better day

thats a fantastic loss, well done and keep it up!! :)

i tried the recipe out and it was soooo yummm!!! i was tempted to have a second serving hehe...thanks!! :)

thanks everyone for all your encouraging posts! i did lapse a little in the last couple of days but im going to get back on track and do this, good luck to you all and hopefully we'll all reach our goals in no time :)

hi welcome! this site and its members have been a huge inspiration for me too and im glad its helping you as well, all the best :)

if you have an android or apple you can download it off the market place, just look for weight watchers calculator or pro points calculator, hope that helps and good luck :)

my WW leader said you need to eat it in moderation, anything more than that you will need to count in afraid

my WW leader said the same, a small portion is 0 points but if you eat more then you need to count it

i know how you feel, ive been through it as well but you must remember that a womans weight always fluctuates and that some weeks you'll loose more, some weeks you wont loose as much, some weeks you'll stay the same and unfortunately you might put on some. Dont be disheartened, its a part of the...

I have a friend on slimming world who has lost heaps of weight in a short time, she said that she can eat more on SW than you can on WW. I just wanted to ask a question to those that made the transition from SW to WW, what made you decide to change to WW? thanks :)

8/02/12 Breakfast: 3 indian rotis (1pp each) 1 tbsp Greek yogurt (2pp) tea with one sugar (2pp) Lunch: WW tin spaghetti (6pp) 2 nimble toasts (2pp) snack: 1 WW mini roll (2pp) 1 pkt skips (2pp) 1 WW fromage frais (1pp) Dinner (late): Scrambled egg with chopped onions and tomatoes (4pp) 2...

thankyou, i hope its not serious and just something manageable like a muscle pull, but i guess ill have to wait and find out. I began with doing the weight watchers exercise programme and then slowly added this Quick weight loss workout to help YOU Lose 15 pounds fast - YouTube and then...

hey everyone, Does anyone have any good recipes they could share for Xenical users? Im going to see my doc about starting this so some recipes would be a big help thanks :)

thanks for your reply, do you exercise or do a specific diet? your weight loss is fantastic!! :)

I have a high BMI and will be speaking to my doc on Thursday about weight loss aids. So far ive joined Weight Watchers and have begun exercising, but i would like to know more about Xenical. So my question is how much have you lose on Xenical and how long have you been on it? Also, have...

wow!! that sounds amazing, congrats :)

thanks everyone :) i might use it to tone up once ive lost enough weight

Hey everyone, I started weight watchers again 2 weeks ago and i lost 4 pounds which i was really happy with. I was very careful with my diet making sure i stuck to my points allowance and was exercising everyday. I began with doing a lighter exercise to build up my endurance and then added...

ive been feeling quite down today because i injured my foot during exercising so i wont be able to exercise for a couple of weeks...so i did the worst thing i could have and junked out today which has made me feel even worse! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Heres my food diary for...

anyone know the points to sweet and sour chicken? with rice or noodles thanks :)

thats fine, everyones allowed a treat once in a while, were only human after all! i used to binge as well and it used to make me feel sooo guilty, but remember that you lost all that weight by resisting and that you can do it again. Take that day as a one off and start a new day with a new goal...

you can ask them for a skinny hot choc when ordering which will be made from skimmed milk

wow!! thats great, by this rate i think you will reach your target before June, good luck :)

i used to go to meetings and was motivated but then final year uni stress and sitting down for hours on the computer doing essays and, exam revision and dissertations, coupled with family issues and i stopped going for 2 months. I decided to go back and resume my weight watchers but when the...

i like skips (2pp each), same as quavers (2pp each), ryevita crackers (1pp each), curly wurly chocolate (3pp each) heres a few snacking ideas: http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers-propoints-queries/256602-snacking-ideas.html and heres a list of ww foods from 0 pp to 10pp...

i only buy WW products if its on offer, or occasionally from poundland, but i use low fat, or lighter brands from different supermarkets and just point them. Its easier with WW because you dont need to calculate the points but its not hard to do anyways.

hi there, you can work it out here: Skinny Healthy Lifestyle: ProPoints allowance hope that helps :)

hi, here are two threads i think might be useful. The first is snacking ideas: http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers-propoints-queries/256602-snacking-ideas.html and the second is a list of pro point foods ranging from 0-10...

i eat nimble bread and thats 1pp a slice

i love skips (2pp), or ryevita crackers (1pp) or tikka masala wedges (3pp per serving) found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opSA54wnUE4&feature=channel_video_title 3 rice cakes (2pp) options belgian hot chocolate (1 sachet 1pp) and i found this, it details foods from 0pp to 10pp...

hey, you could do that with the old discovery plan, but the pro point plan doesnt allow you to. You cant use any saved up points on different days, every day you begin with 29pp (depending on your weight) and you have 49 weeklies which you can dip into if you eat all your dailies (29pp)...

oven baked its 5pp and if you microwave it then its 6pp (according to my calculator and the McCain website). Hope that helps :)

each sandwich thin is 3pp, hope that helps :)

hi, you can save your daily points but you cant re-use them the next day. Each day you only get 29pp and 49 weeklies, hope that helps and good luck :)

this morning i had 2 homemade Indian roti (1pp each), 2 teaspoon of natural honey 1tsp (2pp), altogether 4pp.

A few years ago my nutritionist told me that its better to eat before 6 because after your metabolsim begins to slow down and its better for your food to digest before sleeping because it slows down the process a lot, but theres no problem in eating later eithier, but not when your about to go...

thank you!

so then does anyone know whats the lowest pro point easter egg?

1 egg (large) is 3pp, but ive read in other places that 1 egg fried is 2pp, how does that work? :confused: How many pro points is it for 1 large or medium fried egg? thanks

hi, you could get some quorn ones from any supermarket in the vegetarian section. they do some nice garlic and herb fillets for 2 points a fillet. I get mine from Iceland.
