Hi I've just started ww again and I also have a stone to lose . I'm 11st7lb and I feel so uncomfortable . I'm doing ww at home as I personally don't feel there is much interaction at my local weigh in it was just a case of paying your money and getting weighed :( so hopefully I can stick to it...

I can't remember the name but its by a lady called Dana fowley , its the most horrific story of a girls fight against sexual abuse by nearly every member in her family and parents friends and associates . A true fighter who, as an adult tries to get these discusting people sent to prison for...

I've just finished Kate mccans book " Madeleine " . This has totally changed my views on the way they presented themselves throughout the case and the ever hanging over opinion of " did they or didn't they " views . Sadly as we all know this book doesn't have a conclusion apart from.the facts...

Mmmm that does sound nice thanks x

I love paranormal stuff me and my auntie and cousins are always going on ghost walks . Last Tuesday we went to my other cousins house as she'd been having a few strange experiences , as we were sat downstairs there was this sound as if someone had walked straight from the bathroom and right...

I sometimes have an egg fried with no oil a ,table spoon of beans, 1 slice of grilled bacon with the fat removed , chopped toms and 1 slice of toast . It fills me up a treat :-) best to regret the things you have done then to regret the things you haven't done

Hi , has anyone got any ideas as to what else apart from salads i could use feta cheese in ? Its the first time I've tried it so i don't know if it melts so i could use it in a pasta dish ? best to regret the things you have done then to regret the things you haven't done

If you go to morrisons cafe you could always choose the flying start breakfast which is going to be lower in.points then a full size breakfast . Im not sure of the points as i can't remember if there is 1 sausage 1 bacon a fresh tom 1 egg and half a slice of toast but id point it at 9 pp . best...

Wayhey ! Well done :-)

Id do it with trainers on , just for the support on your ankles

I would of thought so , its only the same as doing it on the wii fitness games

Well the minimum used to be 29 pro points now its 26

And it doesn't mention the fries either

The spicy bean burger is 17 pp but it doesn't mention milkshakes in the eating out guide but i would guess it was made from full fat milk .

I would be fuming if my hubby spoke to me like that o_O . I can't believe how many husbands arnt supportive , if im in the mood for a choccy biscuit my hubby wouldn't question it , my boss came into work yesterday with a empty bag of chocolate buttons just so she could put the empty bag in.our...

Yes ! I was feeling like that a few days ago and i spoke to my leader and she said i had to eat more protein as i was feeling sooo tired bloated but never full and always starving ! So i tried to encorperate more meat into.my food and hey presto ! I also changed over to simply filling yesterday...

Has that offer expired ? That seems excellent for under £3.00

How are you finding it ? I've been.on sf for 2 days and finding it ok x

Its the green one from the ww folder x

Thanks red :) would you mind telling me is there anything else I should know that's not listed in the book ?

Is sweetener free on these days ? You know the ones that go in your coffee and the powdered stuff . I can't seem to find the info about it in my book . Trying a filling and healthy day today and just realised that it might need to be counted from my weeklies . Thanks x

Yes apparently you do . My leader says the 49 weeklys are a safety net but you have to eat all your dailys .

Yay ! I was pretty pleased x

Just spoke to my leader about my.immense hunger and she thinks its lack of protein which when i think of it , i hardly ever have meat in my diet so I'll give it a go ;-)

Well i was surprised to learn.that i lost 1/2 lb not bad considering ! I think i was probably having one of those days but back on track now .... Onwards and upwards ay !

Well today i started off pretty well then when i got in from work it just went down hill from there ! :-( feeling pretty fed up these last few days as i always seem soo hungry (see my other tread on gready ) so tonight I've gone right over my daily points and ran.out of weeklys yesterday . I've...

Ooh that sounds promising ! Thanks x

Yep I do all that . I've purposely made myself slow down , cut my food into smaller pieces , using a smaller plate and drink before and after I eat . I seriously don't know what else to do . I'm going to have a word with my leader if it doesn't settle down because honestly I could eat just about...

ah so its not just me then ! Im eating a full tin of peach slices (rinsed) as i write this bearing in mind I've just had a big Sunday dinner ! Im going to check that link out for sure ! You know saying about blood sugar , i do get pretty shaky at times but i just thought i leave it to long in...

Well done !

Ok but i can't remember cigs ever tasting like that , but i suppose the nicotine is clouded by all the other toxins and chemicals in a cig but inky using it when i desperately need to . But yeah so far so good but i yhinkbweek 2 is better then week 1 of quitting

I didn't think of that . That's a good tip ! X

I had my first weigh- in yesterday and lost 1/2lb .....not bad ...i stuck to my points religiously and drank makes more fluids then i normally would x

Does anyone combine their 49 weeklies into their dailys ? Im on 26 per day but as i've stopped smoking I've discovered a real hunger and feel 26 is not enough at the moment . So I've decided that i Will divide the 49 into 7 days leaving me with 33pro points for the full day breaking this down...

If you follow the plan then yes but don't cheat . Ww is livable and it makes you very aware of how much you eat . I know with kids it is hard to find the right time to go a meeting but statistics do show that you lose , keep to the plan and maintain if you do attend . Plus there are loans of new...

No I've just received mine today

So you have to get it elsewhere now and not in the newspaper ? X

Me to ! I've just resisted pizza and chips . That was the first time I've had to use my will power but my chicken salad tasted so much better !

Well unless one catches my eye then i don't think I'll be buying it again as i don't even read that paper and i know its only 90p but it could be 90p spent on something better . Im not knocking the chefs but i think people on here could of come up with better .

In my ww journal it says I should measure my hips waist arms and thighs . Is this something you do and do you think it's necessary ?

Yeah I've just got one . Not that I want to smoke anymore (as I passed someone with a cig and it stank ! ) but I still miss the had to mouth part . I know it sounds completely insane but I've been smoking on and off since I was 14 and I'm 28 now so doing that movement with my hand daily for all...

I was on slimming world for a while and i do like big portions but for me it didnt work ,but i think i just took advantage of " the more you eat the more you.lose " i still like big portions but i know im limited to stay within my daily points so i always have extra veg . In fact i don't even...

Some really good tips there thanks ladies !:-) i knew about the cheese triangles which is a blessing for me as i love cheese and I'll defiantly have to get that bread as i am.missing toast x

So would you make chips out of them ?

I got some frozen and chilled meals just for those busy days . I also did my shopping just the same as i would normally

No you've probably gone down to 26 as well but if you are still loosing weight on 29 then they are saying stick with it

Yeah in.the book it says how you could spread your points throughout each meal and then there was only 2 pp left for a snack . I think it could be quite expensive to follow and tears on top of the weekly fee .

That's for semi skimmed . i think its 3 pp for 1/2pint of skimmed which is what im going to start doing tomorrow as im going through a fair few cups of tea !

1/4 pint is 2pp 1/2 pint is 4pp

Honk for days 1-2-3-4

Hi everyone , so for those of you who buy the daily mail what do you think of the recipes ? In all fairness I don't think it's something that I could afford to eat judging by the shopping list ! This is the 7day meal planner Toast with banana ginger and yogurt 4 Salmon with tomato and herb...

I'm 28 5"2 and weigh 10st 11lb and I'm on 26 pp a day so I wouldn't of thought so . Someone will be around to tell you pretty soon .

I did 3 soups last night and they were really nice Carrot and corriander Loads of carrots and corriander easy ! Red pepper and tomato Red peppers Fresh toms Shallots Fresh ginger Celery Garlic Fresh chilli Then i halved the ingredients and added passata basil and Italian dried herbs to...

Yeah i was gonna say that but add different herbs and spices even if you don't think it "matches" the veg . The best meals are caused accidentaly !x

I started ww again today as i put on over half a stone at xmas ! Im hoping to get to 9 and a half stone but at the moment 10st would be super ! X

I've just started today aswell good luck !x

Not smoking is going better then i thought but i do miss it if im honest i miss the hand to mouth action but still no cigs since nye so looking good . As for ww i started it today and I've discovered real hunger . When.i smoked i didn't eat all day until teatime so now im not smoking im having...

Hi all just been to my first meeting today and need to go shopping , should I shop as normal or change altogether ? My normal shop consists of veg meat fruit etc as I do cook from scratch but what about those "in a hurry " times ? Also has anyone got any low point "must haves" ideas that I...

1st weigh in / meeting for me today as well .10st11lb really enjoyed the meeting to be honest , nice leader as well x

I think it's nice to know that there is always someone who's going through the same situation , I get the support at home so I should be ok . 2012has kicked off to a good start already :) x keep it up x

Hi all this is it now stopping smoking (no cigs since NYE) and starting weight watchers again tomorrow morning . I'm guessing I could weigh anything between 10& 11 stone and on my frame I look dumpy and ........well just a mess really so much so you'd think I was pregnant . I'm so making this...

Hi yeah I'm also starting ww tomorrow as well . I've decided 2012 is gonna be my year ! I've also bought one of the ecigs off groupon tonight so I'll see how I get on with it , you'd think a scare would be enough to stop us from smoking but I've read stopping smoking is harder to quit then...

I all I've been using this app for ages and never realised there was a stop smoking section ( there was me trawling the net for stop smoking forums when ive got one right here on my iPad /phone ! Anyhow ..... I'm 28 and have smoked on and off since I was 14 ! In nov I found a "growth" on my...

Ok Thankyou

Are cheese triangles free ? I notice a few people have crumpets and triangles . Any particular range for both items ? Thankyou

It's oats so simple sachets :)

If he's anything like my dad then anything you do will never be good enough . My dad didn't have a maternal bone in his body and constantly put my mother down to me when i was a kid . As an adult he must of still saw my mam in me leading him to be just plain horrible , him of all people used to...

Thanks guys im feeling miles better now ! Ears are still ringing and a bit fuzzy but defiantly on the road to recovery ! :-D

hi im getting over a cold virus and it has knocked me for 6 as they say . when i get a normal cold it doesn't put me out but this one has, so much to the point were I've spent a fair few days on the couch and Thats not me at all . It started a week last Monday and im still not over it . Apart...

For egg custards ? No I've not im afraid ... Shame as i love em !

Its lovely ! And i suppose if you add some nutmeg it could possibly be a nice christmassy treat . Cinnamon and nutmeg always remind me of Christmas :-) x

Simply filling Correct me if im wrong but i think this recipie Will only be 1pp for the full lot and its huge ! Remember to stop when satisfied Im thinking its the baking powder that is 1 pp ? Apple and cinnamon cake 4 egg whites 4 yolks 1teaspoon of baking powder 1teaspoon of...

If i boiled fresh mince within an inch if its life would i get away with it being free ?

Jeez where has this diet been hidden!? I think this is the answer to my prayers ;-) ....... That's if I've read it right :O

What is simply filling please ?

Yum !

Mum I'll give it a try as i was looking for a nice soup to make for lunch time .

Ignore that i thought you were asking whether to buy them Haha totally misread that one :-P

I dont bother tbh . My hubby bought a cheep round silver one from asda for under £10 and we just use them. obviously it doesn't tell me the points but your calculator can do that for you . I find using scales makes me more aware of portion control and sizes .

Totally bizarre post but has anyone noticed the amount of rubbish they are throwing away since being on ww? I've noticed that I've hardly had any packets ,boxes etc and my bin has 1 bag in it and were a family of 4 ! Probably one of the most boring posts you will ever read :-P

Yes im still confused about this as well so i can't really help but im sure someone will come along and explain it . There probably is a post on here about somewhere but its just finding it .

Do you mean your weekly points ?

Thanks ill just put 3 pp down as it was neither small or medium

I had to go into hospital for surgery and to be honest i was worse getting over the anesthetic then i was the actual opp ! It could throw you both ways . You could feel so pants that you might not want to bother taking care of yourself as you normally would do and just eat for the sake of it or...

I tend to only have smoothies as a quick breakfast if i don't have time for cereal etc . I dont use any juice in my smoothie at all , i sometimes add a muller yogurt or fromage frais or even quicker just skimmed milk .

Yeah i agree but I've just thought if i were to make a smoothie it would take me a whole minute or so to drink it whereas if i were to eat the banana apple etc seperately it would take me longer to eat therefore more filling and for longer . On the other hand its a quick breakfast x

thanks hun just had a look in my book and yes that's right .... yummy ! x

when i did swimming world as you know all fruit and veg are free foods but once fruit was cooked or purred it had a syn value as the sugar change's in it .i love smoothies as well :)

cherry even !

Am i right in thinking that if u blend fruit to make a smoothie then it will not be a free food as the sugar changes when blended ? Would i need to use points for this ? Thanks

I've been on pro points before and in my first week i lost 3.5lb (i was 9st10lb) now im nearly 11st so im starting ww on Monday after being on sw for the past few weeks . I don't think sw was right for me as i put on 3lb and i don't think large portions of pasta helped (my problem is portion...

When i went to coronation street years ago before they stopped the tours you could go into a resturaunt there and have a bettys hotpot served in proper hotpot dishes it was beaut ! We still have the hotpot today :-P

I can't either but I've just changed over to android and there is no rely button ?

Tbh I hope that's it .my normal day would be Breakfast : nothing Dinner : nothing Tea : big portions Supper : tea and toast So I hope it is my body getting used to more then one meal a day ! X

So I've been on sw for two weeks and can't believe I've not once felt hungry ! But I've just weighed myself today and I haven't lost anything :-( so me being me thinks" oh well" and I've probably gone past my syns today and I've just stuck my finger in the nuttella jar and scooped a blob out ...

Away in a manger . I heard the kids in the hall singing this today and it always sounds extra special when children sing it

Try all the scart leads ... That's the biggest reason for callouts . failing that unplug from the wall for 15 mins

I think I'll have a go at this ...... Dear parent in the playground , Why have you and your partner got a nice new pair of new shoes each when your children are going to school with shoes that are falling apart ? Yes your feet look lovely in them but your childrens feet are soaking wet...

When I used to babysit the neighbours kids years ago, one of the children did the same thing but it was always a wet nappy so the mum stuck the nappy on backwards until he was ready for potty training ! Still makes me giggle :-)

Serum serum serum ! My hair frizzes up at the slightest bit of dampness and I think serum is a wonderful invention for us with fluffy hair !

You could wash your clothes in a bit more softer ? I use the yellow lenor and I constantly smell it all day .

Oh no you cant see them :(

There is also :-p isn't there ? I don't know if you can see these either ? ???????these are from the iPhone app I love it ?

Wish I had eaten them raw knowing what I know now ..... It won't be happening again haha

Yeah I know I can but to be honest I'm quite boring when it comes to dressings etc... The nearest to a dressing or sauce I get to is mayonnaise or sour cream bit I see what you mean .

Each morning I've been having weetabix as my healthy extra but I'm not one for water so I don't supposed all the ruffage has been lubricated much ! As for my teeth I do use an electric toothbrush and sensodyne toothpaste . It's not like these things are bothering me I just wondered if maybe it...

Haha !

Oh wow I've gone over on my syns big time then ! Ah well it was nice while it lasted a whole 30 seconds sliding down my neck

Thanks ! :) I've just used that method to work out a mission deli orange and cranberry pitta at aprox 172 cals so I came out with 9 rounded upto the nearest syn so I hope it's right :)

That's my excuse but with my thumbs .... They're like spoons !

Hi chaps and chapesses So I've done slimming world since last Monday and I don't think I've ever graced my stomach with so much fruit and veg etc in my whole life like I have this last week or so BUT .....I haven't had a decent poo since ! I thought with all this ruffage I could of made a bit...

Oh dear ! I haven't got a clue what my 1 banana 1 apple 3 plum and quark smoothie was today then :-p

Yeah I do sometimes think that ! But tonight I'm full off tea but I needed something sweet/chocolaty to "round" my tea off so I've just had a tablespoon of nuttella and a warburtons orange and cranberry pitta just so I could use my syns . But oddly enough I haven't craved the usual copious...

I just threw mine in the wok with the rest of my stir fry for about 1 minute or so basically just to warm them through .

How do you guys work out the syn value ? Every time I've googled " how may syns in ..." this is the site that constantly comes up with an answer . So how do you know what's in what ? (I'm new to sw and to this site )

My pet hate is " of " and " off " and it's a typical mistake that happens on Facebook a lot .

Ah right I was only asking as sometimes I'm so stuffed on free foods I don't really feel the need to use my syns

Oh no ! So does that mean when I chop them up and put them in my blender to make a fruit smoothie it would be turned into syns ?

Yeah they are to be fair but there is just something that draws me to these types of books .. Even though they make me so angry . I suppose it's like not ignoring that these things go on maybe it's the shock factor I dont know but other books just don't seem to interest me ....apart from Roalh...

It's a true life one. It's a " normal " family life is good but they have a few problems and the father works away .

I love coronation street , I want to live down that street :-) I also like bedlam can't wait for it to come back on .

Just been reading this post and I was wondering ... Does fruit have a syn value if it's cooked ? I like apples done in the microwave with cinnamon on them so I hope it doesn't change ?

I'm just reading " how could he " by Emma Charles . Heartbreaking !

fantastic info ! now i know why i didnt lose in my first week .....cutting back on my syns didnt help ! can i "save " my daily syns for the weekend ?

Thank you very much ! Yes those are the ones I'll be sure to check stuff like that in the future now ,thanks again for a quick reply :)
