    well here i am about to sound like the most stupid person on the planet, but i don't know what chowder is made from! But anyway, whats done is done, there's little point beating yourself up. Just forget it happened and keep going, i'm sure you'll be grand! If it was only a spoonful i doubt...

    Since you've stuck to the rules, you can't possibly have put proper weight on. Are the scales you sneaky peaked on the one's you normally use?

    i dnt get how it works...

    Hey Vicky, To lose a lb in weight, your body needs to be deprived of 3,500 Kcals, either through cutting back on food, or burning them off through exercise [thats a heck of a lot of exercise!]. You're probably eating as much as you normally did, but just eating healthier foods, which are...

    If you divide the kcals of the food by 70, then divide the saturated fat by 4... add these two figures together, you have the points for that item. [You'll get fractions doing this, so round up, or down, to the nearest 0.5pt, depending on the figure]. However, there's also Zero Point foods...
