Activia 0% fat free are veggie and alot are syn free. Check the flavours though as I'm not sure if some have low syns as haven't been on sw for a while and only just coming back. Good luck Dani x

I'm a serial diet switcher and have been for years but have to say I'm really enjoying the new smart points plan. I've tried sw over and over again and I can see how it works for a lot of people but it just doesn't for me. Sw just makes me feel so guilty. If I have cereal for breakfast I can't...

Hi Duffy The basics of rc are low fat calorie counting, allowing a cal allowance for each meal/snack. I've tried every diet club and I find this the easiest when it comes to shopping as you can just look at the back of the pack as to whether you can fit it in to the plan rather than having to...

Hey, I'm just coming back to ccing. Was meant to start a few weeks ago but life got in the way. Starting today at my heaviest ever would love some support to get back into the 15's! I've put on 2st in 2 months because of medication. Doc has now taken me off them for obvious reasons but still...

There's a Bella that came out on Tuesday. 4.95 for your first week.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. My first official day is tomorrow and I'm looking at about 6stone to lose in total . I really struggle with sticking with one diet so hoping that by signing up for the year it should help stop me. Hope you don't mind me asking but how much did you lose on...

I'm a serial swapper and get no where because of it. Personally I find ww easier if you eat out alot or don't have much time to cook. It's easier to grab food on the go. Sw is better if you don't mind cooking the majority of meals from scratch and like big portions. Ww does have an option...

Hi all. I'm a serial diet switcher and when it comes to clubs know them all. However I'm so fed up of jumping from one to another with my weight increasing I've decided to go back to basics. I've joined rosemary conley online, calorie counting, for a year hoping it'll help keep me on track and...

Thanks both. I've actually gone and joined rosemary conley online, essentially cal counting but will be using slimfast with this. Today is my first day cal counting but haven't got the stuff in for slimfast at the moment. As a binger I know if I purely do slimfast and for some reason have to...

Hi everyone, I'm debating whether to give sf a go as have only been on ww a few weeks and the constant counting has kicked off my ocd. Thinking that taking the thought process out of it using the shakes would really help. Has anyone had a longterm success with sf? Or lost a lot on it? I have...

Well after Friday my week went dramatically down hill fast. However I managed to lose 2lb tonight in group so need to be extra good this week to keep it going in the right direction. Good luck everyone, Dani

Went back to group on Tues and was doing really well until today. Eaten loads of rubbish food but on the plus side I've pointed it and line drawn now. Back on it in the morning and I'm going to try filling and healthy until weigh day. Just to try and make me make healthier choices. Good luck...

It's 6.25 weekly and monthly pass is 21.50 I think. They're definitely around those prices. The first month you can usually get for about 10. Dani

Hi both thanks for the replies ☺ I always end up back on ww to chocolate so this time I'm going run with it. If I can help Minniemouse I'll try my best. What exactly are you finding hard foodwise? I personally don't use the ww meals as I'm a veggie so they don't really have many I eat. You...

Just wanted to say hello. I use to use this forum quite a lot but then turned into more of a lurker so now I'm giving ww another go I thought I'd get more involved in the hope it would help keep me on track. I'm a serial diet switcher especially when it comes to diet clubs. Know them inside out...

I changed group after my consultant refusing to discuss green. My new consultant said she won't discuss in class as they've been told not to but to approach her on her own if I'm struggling or need help. Slightly better than my last consultant but seems it's actually sw head office telling them...

Only online and the mag a one off apparently. Dan

Hi all. I'm considering rc online and just wondered if anyone had any experience of this? I've decided to post here as the rc section is deserted and essentially it is calorie counting. Thanks for your help. Dan

*has not gap.

I can see that people who usually follow ee don't think this is major difference to them and that's fine but being a veggie I feel like sw gap a complete disregard for those who follow green days. Yes I could syn my extra hex b but then I'm left with very little syns for anything else. Plus my...

I'm not sure what to do now as not really fussed about going back. She said that all I have to do is lose some healthy extras so couldn't see why it was a problem. I find it hard enough with 2 healthy b's I really don't think I could manage with 1. I use for cereal and bread mainly as work full...

My consultant really annoyed me when talking about the changes. She basically said that she will no longer discuss red/green so if I continue in on it not to mention in class as it can cause confusion. Not impressed at all, surely that is what I pay for after all, the support of the class. I...

If your doin ee then your fine, can't see there being any major changes only the usual update to healthy extras. Dan x

Hey all I've heard that sw are apparently getting rid of red / green days and going more towards high protein low carb for fast losses so similar to red and running this along side ee. Just wondering if anyone has ideas if this is true or not? As a veggie this is not good news for me if it...

Hey all Just wondering if anyone had done sw online and what they thought of it? I'm currently a group member but finding it hard with work and family commitments so am considering switching to purely online. Many thanks Dan x

Hi, You can have 2 treats a day that should be listed in the booklet. You can have things like ww bars which would give you your chocolate fix or have you been using these in your meals for things like cheese, yogurt etc? I found simple start restrictive but once you pass the first week it...

Hey I'm starting from ccing today from sw. I'm staying with my group and weighing though as I need it at the moment to keep me on track. Sw just isn't flexible enough for me. I often get called into work at the last minute and find it hard then to try and grab things on the go. Good luck Dan x

Hey all, I'm a serial dieter and have tried all the usual sw, ww, ccing etc. I join and rejoin groups but never really give myself a chance. I went back to sw on Thursday but have been rubbish ever since. I can't get out of counting points or calories and continually compare the diets in my...

Hey, I've been trying to get into the 14's for years :( I get right down then binge my way back up again. The amount of times I lost this stone over and over I could be at target! Good luck for weigh in an hopefully you'll fly through this stone bracket Dan x

Thanks all for the welcome :) I never did actually get around to starting as ended up going away but now I have no excuses left so I have to face the dreaded scales in the morning. Feeling positive though that I can actually do this so fingers crossed this motivation sticks around! Good luck...

Hope you don't mind me jumping in just thought I'd help with some of the confusion. Discovery, vintage are old point plans and simply filling is the old version of filling and healthy but you could only do uthe plan a week at a time rather than be able to switch daily like you can now...

Hey everyone Well after switching from one diet club to another and back again for so long I can't even remember, I've decided to give up on diet clubs and go back to basics. Calorie counting is simple, effective and best of all free! I'm hoping with the support of some of you lovely people...

In response to your earlier question, fruit has 0pp so you can fill up on it if your hungry. An the same with regards to most veg, however the starchy veg has points, things like potatoes, sweetcorn and peas. Also tinned tomatoes and pasatta are 0pp so if you use them as a base for sauces like...

I was thinking of starting this as my friend has had great success with it along side ww. It's taken her less than a year to hit her target of over 5st loss and says this helped her loads. Let me know how your getting on as I'd be interested to find out x

I'm back after trying every other diet there is. Time I just got on with it. Good luck Dan x

Good luck! I'm starting in the morning and actually looking forward to it. I've tried the usual diet clubs etc but suffer with binge eating so need something that I don't have to think about/plan much to take the emphasis off food. Keep updating I'd be interested to see how you find it Dan x

31pp then your weekly of 49 on top. Good luck Dan x

The fine egg nests are 4pp and medium are 5pp. Hope that helps x

Hey all Well I been doing sw since Jan and have come to the conclusion it just isn't for me. Ever since starting I've had problems with my ibs and I just don't think it fits in with my lifestyle. Have been back on ww since Monday and back to group tonight. Am loving it so far. As a working...

You can pay using your card in class for a monthly pass then all you have to do is register it online so that you can have access to the app etc. Also if you buy your monthly pass before you go to class you will need to print it off and take it with you but make sure it's a monthly you sign...

Hey all I been on ww for the best part of last year and got nowhere (through my own fault). I recently joined sw with a friend and she is doing really well. I on the otherhand just feel ill :( I have ibs and since starting sw I'm suffering with major flare ups, this then leads me to feel down...

Hey Karen, Thanks for checking up on me :) I've turned into more of a lurker lately as completely lost it diet wise. I've managed to gain half a st in the last few weeks and need to stop it as I'll have xmas weight gain to deal with aswell. You seem to be doing really well, mind if I...

Hey Don't know about buying it online as the only place I would think to look is eBay but as you've looked there I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions. Saying that maybe look on the ww website online as they have a shop. You do get everything in your first meeting now, well I did anyway, unlike how...

Hey Chickster Well done on your loss you really seem to be in the diet zone :) Well I weighed at home an have gained 1.5lb this week and if I'm honest I'm surprised at how small a gain it is. Being an emotional eater this week has been really hard as a close relative passed away...

Hey all Still binging :( still not back at group :( on a more positive note according to my home scales I've stayed about the same so happy with that! Thinking of just giving it a go at home for a bit to take the pressure off so a small blip might not turn into a big one. Well done...

Yay more people lol. There's a free app called ww diary if you want online tools. Only thing is you have to build your database but once you've saved it as favourites you don't have to keep looking up points :) I'm hoping to lose about a stone by xmas so a challenge might keep me on track...

Glad to see it isn't just me but I'm still doing it and first posted this thread in Sept. It really is taking over my life at times. Think I it's time to try a new approach but what? Need food to be in the background of my life instead of consuming it :( Dan x

Well done on your losses! I haven't been back to group as been binging :( just can't seem to get my head in it. Going up and down the same half st over and over. Think I need to address my relationship with food and not just stick to a 'diet'. Good luck for next week Dan x

I'm back to, starting in the morning. I keep trying with pp but it just allows me to binge so back to vp for me:) Good luck Dan x

If you used alot of weeklies it might not have had chance to even out so maybe a bit of bloating or if you changed the time of day you weigh will also affect your weight. You weigh more in the night than the morning so if you changed from a day to an evening group it will so on the scales...

Just wondering if any of you have had a go at f&h? I know there's a sub forum but no one seems to use it at the minute. I'm one of these people that like sw and ww but get bored on sw so I'm thinking I could get the best of both worlds as its very similar and being able to switch daily really...

Mind if I join you all? I'm switching to ww online instead of meetings and may possibly switch to completely at home at a later date. Look forward to getting to know you all Dan x

Well I've decided to give online a go. Don't think I could go it alone just yet but having to pay for it helps keep me on track. May try going it alone with the value app at a later date but for now I need the accountability to keep me on track Thanks everyone, Dan x

Thanks for that x Can you keep track of your weight on it or is it just a food tracker? Dan x

Hey all Been back on the ww wagon a couple of weeks now and losing slowly, don't mind the slowly bit but debating whether to give up meetings and have a go at online. Since starting my new job I now work shifts so never stay after getting weighed because I'm always to tired and I pay...

Thanks Chickster x Aiming for 1.5lb this week for my first silver 7, hopefully the first of many. Hope your week is going well Dan x

Hey all, I'm back at my Thursday group so just thought I'd say hi:) been struggling for a long time with binging but the last 2 week's I've managed losses even though they're only small it's a big achievement for me. Had 1lb off this week, not much but they'll add up! Good luck everyone Dan x

Thanks everyone for the welcome:) Been ill this week but another 1lb off, not much but can honestly say it's the first time in a long time that I have had consecutive losses. I know it's not a great deal lost, 2.5 in two weeks but those of you have seen me around will know the problem I have...

Found you :) good luck!

Thanks both for the replies :) Binging is getting better as nowhere near as frequent and not as bad as before. Thanks for asking Serena x Binging is probably the reason I'm back on ww if I'm honest. I struggle with feeling guilty if I eat 'bad' food and then this leads to a complete binge...

Hey all, Havent posted in a while as my head was all over the place diet wise and kept diet switching and getting nowhere. After taking sometime out and realising this is the only eating plan i can stick to long term im back on track. Went back to group on thursday and had lost 1.5lb, not alot...

Well done on your first silver seven! Hopefully won't be very long until I can say the same :D Dan x

If you tend to use your weeklies on the weekend then you may be better off having a mid week or Friday morning weigh in. That way it's gives you chance to get rid of any bloating or anything you get from using your weeklies over one or two days. Good luck Dan x

Mind if I join you? I was recently going to meetings on a Friday but getting nowhere. Last week I decided to start afresh at home on Wednesday so today is my first weigh in. 4.5lb gone, so pleased. Looks like taking the pressure off by not going to meetings has worked :) Good luck for today...

Hello and good luck :) Dan x

Thanks hules x. I'm stuck in two minds to honest. Am thinking of giving up group regardless so discover is looking tempting as I have bigger losses on it. Really need to make my mind up and go with it. How have you been getting on Dan x

Anyone who has seen my posts will known that I struggle with the whole 'diet' thing and general relationship with food. At the moment I currently attend meetings and use to find them helpful but of late I don't. The leader has changed every week for the last 5 weeks and still don't know when a...

Maybe I am being a bit hasty in my decision as you said I'm only really just getting into it. I need to start looking at the bigger picture instead of wanting instant results and making me feel the need to switch diets all the time. Think it's time to throw out all diet books so the only...

Hey all I'm one of those people who has tried every diet going but now I just can't seem to stick with one for any length of time because I constantly compare them. It's so frustrating but I just can't get out of the habit. I promised myself I would not be in the same place this xmas as I...

Hey all Thinking of coming back to discover. I've been going to group so been having a go at pp but after about 8 weeks I've lost a total of 3 lb. I just can't seem to get on with it and don't know why. Was doing discover not so long ago and lost around 6lb in the 1st week. Thinking I may...

Thanks for the encouragement and advice all :) Managed a 1.5lb loss at weigh in so happy with that. Realised why I felt the need to binge, I was really down because it's coming up to totm (the joys of being a women). Now I just need to find ways of dealing with it without food. Thinking of...

1.5 lb off for me this week. Can't update on my phone though so if anyone is updating theirs would you please update mine, it would be much appreciated. Good luck everyone Dan x

Thanks for that got a morrisons just down the road :) Dan x

Hey all, Well after a good few days on track last night I had what I thought was a bit of a mini binge (binging is a problem for me). Then when I sat down and worked out the pp it only added up to 18 and had only used a few weeklies this week so it is more than covered but its the guilt that...

Honk day 3 & 4 (if i don't blow it later) Finally getting somewhere :) Dan x

Thanks for adding me :) Dan x

Mind if i join you? i cant cut and paste on my phone so if someone would be kind enough to add me it would be much appreciated. I would like to lose about 2st i think. Dan8317- 28lbs to lose, 0 lost so far Thanks and good luck, Dan x

Been awhile since anyone honked so thought I would :-) Honk day 1&2 (again) Dan x

Hey all, Anyone who has seen my recent threads will known that I have been struggling to control binges and just generally with my eating and diet. After taking on board advice given I have finally stuck within my points for 2 days. I know this isnt much but I have to start somewhere :-)...

Hey Sashkie, Know what you mean about the old plan because I found it easier aswell and think the reason was because I felt like I had to earn my treats. Done it a few weeks back from old books and done well in the first week or two but felt like I needed group support. Then when I went back...

Thanks both. I've decided that in the morning Im having a fresh start. However Im going to give rosemary conley a go. Ww is too flexible for me at the moment and knowing i can have anything aslong as i point it is not good when Im in this frame of mind. Plus it incorporates exercise so...

Thanks for replying, Im going to look into the books thanks for the suggestions. Suppose Im just looking for reassurance that there are others that struggle with the same issues and that they have overcome it. Dan x

Hey all, Feeling so out of control around food at the moment that its getting me down. Then because I'm down I eat more and so the cycle continues :'( I just can't seem to break it. I've been going to meetings for months now and lost a grand total of 3lb. Not because of the diet but...

Hey Sarah, I wouldn't reduce your points as you should still lose even without exercise. Instead maybe leave your weeklies if you don't feel like you need them or only use some of them. As for weigh in good luck :) if you stuck to your points then you should have a loss. I struggle just...

Well done that's fab! Good luck, Dan x

Know what you mean with ww. Its to flexible for me at the minute especially as I have a lot to lose and I can't make myself pick healthy foods when I know I can have unhealthy ones within my point. Hopefully if we start using this forum abit more then it may get a bit busier. I know rc is...

Hi, I'm starting back on rc in the morning. Been trying to do ww as I need a class weigh in to keep me on track (no rc classes near me) but just can't get my head into so dusted my inchloss book off. Still going to weigh at ww for now just not tell them until I feel like I can go it alone...

Hey Sarah, Just wondered how you're getting on? Dan x

Hey all, I've been trying to lose weight for what seems like forever but I just can't get in the right frame of mind. I go to group and joined with a friend who is doing really well and I'm so pleased for her and even though I know I'm going to gain I still go every week as she doesn't like...

Ww simply filling is really similar to sw so have you thought about giving that a go maybe? Goodluck, Dan x

Hey samsmum1, Funny enough I was thinking about going back to sw again yesterday lol. I have decided against it though after re-reading through this. Just wondered how many pp you have daily to be hungry? I don't find I'm hungry unless I use them all on rubbish foods. I do crave more food...

Hey all, Had a 2lb gain this week. Its the joys of the totm. Couldn't stop eating because of it so got to find ways of dealing with it next month without reaching for the biscuit tin. In total I've lost 7lb overall. Won't be hitting my 14lbs target but its half a st less than I weighed at...

Well peeps I faced the scales and only put on 2lbs :) so pleased as it could of been so much worse and feeling motivated for this week. Just wanted to say thanks for the advice as I know I wouldn't of gone to weigh in otherwise and my bad week would of turned into a very bad month etc...

Well today I've seemed to have woken up a completely person and in a much more positive frame of mind. It was only then it finally clicked why I had eaten all week and felt really down. Totm has made an appearance :( I always struggle the week before so need to address this. Any suggestions...

Well done all on your losses and the ones lucky enough to moving down a stone bracket :) hopefully ill be moving down soon but not this week. Weigh in in the morning and expecting a gain due to a major binge :( Trying my best to get back on track today and put it behind me, this time I...

Thanks all for the replies. Had another bad day :'( struggling to stop the rot. Will go to weigh in on friday no matter what but am worried if I've gained too much ill just feel even worse. Dan x

Having a bad week and just can't seem to stick to my points at all. Dreading weigh in on friday and knowing what I normally do ill probably end up not going. I can't seem to break this cycle. I do well for the first few weeks the binge terrible and can't face going back. Feels like I'm going...

Yep that sounds right :) as 26pp is the minimum you can have you're points won't go down either. If you get the ww mag they normally do a weeks menu plan on 26pp to give you some ideas of the type of food you can eat to make your points last. Plus don't forget that fruit has 0pp and most veg/...

Hope you don't mind me jumping in but just to let you know that your allowance is 26pp per day and then 49pp weekly allowance (this is assuming you are female). Also if you have an android or iphone you can buy an app called ultimate diary (I think), doesn't cost much and its near enough the...

Mind if I join you? I was doing vintage ww at home but really struggled without a group so I started back a couple of weeks ago and so far lost 6lbs :) hoping for my half st next week so must think of that when the kids chocolate is calling my name! Think this time around it actually...

Hi all, I've been in the 15's for what seems like forever :( got down into the 14's then put it all back on again. 15st 4lb as of my friday weigh in so hoping to be in the 14's by the end of august. This time its coming off and staying off! Good luck all, Dan x

2.5lb off for me this week. Was not expecting it at all so very pleased :) How did weigh in go Hules? I got 5lb to lose in 2 weeks aswell the_last_time, can't see it happening but look at the positives at least its not going up :D Good luck everyone, Dan x

If you go to sub forums there's one for the discover plan (vintage). Good luck, Dan x

Welcome back and good luck, Dan x

Thanks Hules :) See your still doing well! I'm not holding out much hope for this week if I'm honest. I've gone back to group and pp aswel as I need the weigh in to help me stop the binges. They're a lot less frequent when I go to group. Plus I've started with a friend so less likely to give...

Hey all :) Forgot to check in on weigh day. Half off this week and can't see me making my original target but at least its going down instead of up. Well done everyone on your losses, need to get my bum into gear and soon! Good luck for the week, Dan x

On the newer ones you can but on the old ones I don't think it does so it all depends on what one you have purchased. When you press propoints then then enter if its a newer one it will say per serve (I think) then press the down arrow and it will change to per 100g. If you enter all the...

Hi, Just wanted to say your not alone. I am the worlds worst diet switcher. I tend to do ok for a couple of weeks on one diet have a blow out so think its not working for me and switch to something else :( its so hard to break the cycle when you know all the different diets and how they work...

Hey peeps, Struggling again :'( got a lot going on at the moment so turning to food which is not the answer I know but doesn't seem to register when I'm eating it! On the plus side had a sts this week so I'm happy with that as it could of been a lot worse. Laptop is broke so if anyone is...

Blue dragon fine egg noodle nests (pack of 2) are only 4pp per nest. Usually noodles are around 6/7pp a portion so these are low for anyone who likes their carbs :) Dan x

I find mine stays around the same because I don't buy as much 'rubbish' foods. There are things I do though to keep my shopping bill down like planning my main meals for the week so that I only buy what I need. Buying seasonal fruit and veg keeps cost low and also if you go shopping near closing...

Welcome back :D

Sorry not been posting, work been hectic this week. Well first weigh in this morning and I've lost 6lb :D Will update later as can't cut and paste on my phone. Good luck everyone. Dan x

That's what I get annoyed with when ccing not having anything 'free'. Maybe you could take your cal allowance down by say 300/400 and eat fruit and veg without counting it. If the weight doesnt come off then assess if your eating to much or take your cal allowance down a little more...

The food you eat shouldn't contain more than 5% fat per 100g so as long as less than that on nutrition info then I can have it. Don't follow for every single thing but the majority and I'm no longer in pain so the doc obviously got it right :) Last few days have had a complete turn around...

Well really pleased with myself as 2nd day on plan :D 6 points under yesterday and 5 under today. Have split points into meals breakfast 4, lunch 5, dinner 7, milk 2. I'm on 24 points a day but faststart is 22 so going on faststart for first few weeks. Doing it this way I still have points to...

I've got a little conversion table in my discover folder. Have you not got one in yours? Dan x

See its not so bad on the 'darkside' after all ;)

Hey rosierose15, Good luck with making the switch to ww :) I'm a serial diet switcher so know both plans quite well and my best advice would be to try and completely forget the sw way while giving ww a go. Reason being somethings you'll find 'free' on sw will be quite high in pp however...

Do you make your own soups? I only ever make butternut squash and red pepper so it tends to get a bit boring. Hopefully work will take your mind off it and I find the busier I am the less likely to eat as you don't have time to think about it. I'm starting today and so far so good lol...

Cheers Hules :) In all honesty I will more than likely switch back after a month or two which is why I want to stick around here. Its just my mindset at the moment is to consumed by points and with rc I just have a set amount of calories for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks. The way its set out...

Hey all, After seeing my doctor today I've been told that I have a problem with my digestive system where I can't tolerate certain foods, mainly being high fat, processed etc. When I do eat these I'm in agony for hours/days :( I have been advised to go on a low fat diet and have to cut...

Well done on your weightloss so far that's fab :D With regards to your 100cal alcohol allowance I would use it on something else if you don't want the drink. I would say though to stick to the low fat rule when using it. Also really try and do the exercise as it helps with the weightloss and...

Thanks both :) Been getting into last 2 days but today is my weigh day as its easier for me with regards to saving points etc. Things been a bit hectic lately as started a new job and with the kids and hubby been abit of a juggling act. Finding it easier diet wise though as I'm not stuck...

Copy and paste works for me :D Well today is my weigh in for start of challenge and I'm 15st 12lb. So gutted as I got down to 14st 7lb around march time. Oh well onwards on downwards! Good luck everyone, Dan x

Hi, With rc you do have to cal count everything and the first few weeks are quite strict especially if your going over to it from sw. It does get good results though and a faster weightloss in my experience. You have a set amount of cals per meal and then a milk allowance and also cals...

Right then peeps are we going to get this started :) date 6 weeks today is the 7th of aug so I was thinking take your start weight as what you weighed on weigh in this week and then whatever day you weigh on the week that includes the 7th aug will be your finishing weight. Hopes this makes sense...

Hey peeps, Well I've been struggling but today I've decided is the last day that I let food control me. I'm so fed up of it being what I think about all day everyday, what I can and can't have and if its 'good/bad' for me :( So from tomorrow its going to change, I'm taking back control...

Hey peeps, Still here just struglling but won't bore you with that lol. Wow razzle dazzle that's an amazing loss. If you don't mind me asking how many points are you on a day? Dan x

Unfortunately there aren't any rosemary conley classes near me as I've done the diet before and had good results even though I done it from home. Maybe I should have a look for my book again and give it another go. Been trying to get into vintage ww but struggling. Just need to get my...

Not the best today but not as bad as usual :) little steps and all that. Just found my fast start book so might give that a go for the first 2 weeks as its meant to give you a boost. Thinking a bigger loss may give me a bit more motivation. Just got to stick with it now. Easier said than done...

Hey peeps :) Still here (just), keep thinking I need a group so wanting to do pp but know it just doesn't work for me. Hate getting like this, constant battling with myself. On the plus side I have a really busy day so hopefully take my mind of it and only had time for a cereal bar and got...

Will have a look at c25k as I really need to get myself moving as it helps with my mood aswell so in turn helps with my eating as I eat with my emotions. Food sounds really nice, think I may need to dust off my recipe books to keep it interesting. That's why I always tend to come back to ww...

Just wondered if anyone fancied starting one for us on vintage? Have been trying to think what it could be though. Could do just a something like a 6 week one or maybe xmas one but didn't know if that's to far away that ppl would lose interest. Any suggestions? Dan x

I'm going back to vintage in the morning. Pp just don't work for me. Good luck, Dan x

Hey Sarah, If you have a look on the sub forums there's one for discover (vintage). There's a few of us on there all doing vintage so feel free to join us :) Good luck, Dan x

I wouldn't mind trying running but to worried about how stupid ill look and doubt ill even manage a shuffle lol. It all helps though so well done for starting some exercise as that's something I really struggle with but will have to fit in somewhere. How many points do you get a day? I find...

Starting in the morning and this time I mean it! How you finding it so far? Hopefully after your first weigh in it'll give you the motivation to continue. Its just the first week is always the worst. Good luck, Dan x

Yep Hules your right I need to just stick with it, I'm terrible for switching but no more :) Got my notebook ready to track everything and starting tomorrow means I have a good few days to save points for my friday night treat. I've taken a before photo and measurements. Really didn't want...

Hey office angel, Just wondered how your finding vintage? I'm starting back on it in the morning as pp didn't work for me either. Good luck, Dan x

Good luck Hules Dan x

I tend to swap all the time but starting in the morning I'm going to give it a good go instead of making excuses. How much are you looking to lose? I'm on my phone so can't see the stats. I have 5st minimum so don't think you're on your own ill be around here for quite some time lol. Good...

Hey all, Well didn't actually manage to start as I thought I'd give pp just one more go after speaking to my leader and yesterday I actually stuck to it. However today I have completed binged because I have weeklies :( I know they are great for some people but with me they just make me think...

Me :) Pp just aint working for me because it allows me to binge using the weeklies. Weighed in group on thurs but won't be going back so starting fresh in the morning. Hopefully we can get a couple of us posting on here for support :) Good luck, Dan

I have both the hip/thigh and inch loss and there isn't much difference to be honest. Not sure about the fab one though. If you just follow the calorie allowances then I can't see how they differ that much but if you follow the suggested meals/recipes then maybe worth investing. Good...

Honk day 1. So pleased I'm finally getting my head back in it. Only day 1 but got to start somewhere :) Good luck, Dan x

Good luck x

Well weigh in today and its going up not down :( 15st 12lb. Seeing it as a fresh start and need to get on with it now. Don't want to feel like this come the end of this year so nows the time to sort it. Good luck everyone, Dan x

I weighed tonight, still have monthly pass at the moment and giving it this week to get my head into it. If not I think ill leave the meetings as paying for nothing. Put on half but was expected. Fingers crossed I can get my head in the right place this week. I only need one good week to get...

Think I will give it go actually as I start my weeklys again in the morning so its the ideal time. Hopefully it'll help with my binges aswel as it cuts down on the rubbish foods I can eat. How you finding it now? Dan x

Just can't get into it at the moment. Even thought about giving sw a go but know I get bored on that. Just need to get my head in the right place but easier said than done :( Dan x

Hey all, Well as the title says I'm thinking of giving sf a go. I have done every diet club going and now have a really bad relationship with food. Binges are my main issue as all I do is think about what I can and can't have on other diet plans. Think if I give sf a go it may take this...

Welcome back:) I been messing around lately trying pp and thought about ccing but I keep coming back to discover. Hopefully this time I can stick with it. Good luck Dan x

Well done you look amazing. Good luck with the rest of your journey, Dan x

As a rough guide 40cals is 1pp. Doesn't work for everything but will give you an idea. Good luck, Dan x

Hi all, Thanks for the replies :) think it might have been my body adjusting because the following week I didn't stick to plan as went on hols. Weighed in at group an lost half pound. Not much I know but considering what I had on hols should have had a big gain so think the week before...

Thanks for your replies both :) I've got a good set of digital scales already but when I try and go it alone I fail. I think its the fact that someone else is weighing me that makes me stick with it. I'm a serial diet switcher and already comtemplated vintage ww, sw and giving ww pp...

Good luck for tomorrow :) I got weigh in aswell and been on hols so slightly worried I may even be back in the 16's :( oh well ill soon see. Good luck, Dan x

Hey Hules, Know what you mean when it comes to photos. Was on holidays last week and not in one of the photos which when I actually think about it is quite sad. So I have promised myself I have had my last fat holiday. So I'm starting today. I actually weigh in group on a thurs night but...

Well I've been trying to get into pp for the last few weeks but they just don't work for me. I went back to my meeting thinking it would help but the weekly pp just make me want to binge :( plus being a veggie I love my carbs and they seem to be high in pp compared to protein even if they're...

Hey all, Well after a long discussion with the oh I'm going back to ccing. I have been trying for some time to get into ww but just can't. Its not that it doesn't work its just the weekly pp are not helping my binging behaviour. Only thing is I need the structure of a weekly meeting to keep...

Hey all, Well been around here for a while and getting nowhere fast. I'm a serial diet switcher and have finally managed just to stick with ww for a while so that's a start. On the otherhand I'm not getting anywhere with it because I feel guilty all the time. I feel guilty if I use my...

Good luck, Dan x

Hi Sparkle88, On my calculator it comes out as 27pp. That's your daily allowance and don't forget you have weekly 49pp aswell to use :) Good luck, Dan x

Hey all, Well I went back to group last week hoping it would give me some extra motivation and help me stick to plan. I've been doing vintage points recently and was slowly getting in to it but decided to give pp another go because I need a group to keep me motivated. 1st week in and I've...

I think its the first Thursday of every month x

Well done so far :) I went back to group on thursday and am 15st 10lbs :( Onwards and downwards! Good luck, Dan x

Back again and heaviest I've been for a while :( starting at 15st9. Onwards and downwards :D Good luck everyone, Dan x

I've started and restarted over and over lol. Hopefully this time it'll stick :) I'll keep an eye out for your diary then incase you do start one. Good luck and keep posting :D Dan x

How do you find it then with carbs being quite high in pp? As I'm restarting today I'm in two minds if I'm honest. Reason being I like the filling and healthy aswell and swap between the two. Hmmm decisions lol Dan x

Found you :D First week is always the hardest and you seem to be breezing through it. Keep going and good luck, Dan x

Will have a look for your diary now :) I don't count fruit on vintage but I drop my daily by 2 points to make sure it should be covered. I'm a veggie so find pp hard as low pp foods are high in protein and carbs are quite high. I think pp are good but just don't suit me so will try and get...

Hey Serena, Unfortunately I have a lot to lose, about 4 1/2st to be in a healthy bmi. Did lose a st and half but have put the half back on over ther last few weeks. Oh well can't dwell on it, onwards and downwards :) Have you been doing ww long? How you finding it? I tend to do the...

Hey all, Aint been around for a while as got a lot going on so gone completely off track :( Back on it now this week, good luck everyone, Dan x

Hey, Just wondering if anyone still about and how your getting on? As of today I'm back on it and no more excuses! Good luck, Dan x

Good luck x

How you getting on? Dan x

Well done that's fab :D I'm thinking of giving rc another go in the morning. Been doing ww but not getting anywhere because use my points on rubbish foods. Keep going and before you know it you'll be at target :) Good luck, Dan x

Hi all, Hope you don't mind me asking but was wondering how you find doing sw at home compared to meetings? I know the diet but really don't fancy joining a meeting as the 1's I've attended previously seem to take hours and I don't really get anything from it as I'm not a person that likes...

Well done Hules :D I'm not really doing anything now but will keep checking in, just trying to take the pressure off. Keep doing what your doing as seems to be working :) Good luck for the rest of the week, Dan x

Good luck for tomorrow x

Morrisons are 2 for £9 Dan x

Good luck with what ever you decide :) I have major issues with binging and its a constant battle so know how it can get you down. Hopefully you'll find what works best for you. I personally can't do meal replacements as they make me want to binge even more. Let us know what you decide...

Hi LouMo, Kickstart is 18points and can use them on anything you want. Only suppose to stay on it for 2 weeks though. Don't know whether I'm going to do it as I just can't seem to get my head in it. Don't know if taking a break or just trying something like ccing is the way forward. Really...

No matter how good I say I'm going to be it just doesn't happen :( I say I'm not going to binge then the smallest of things can just trigger me off again. Now feeling guilty and want to eat even more :( I really do need to find a way to address my food issues. Since 'dieting' I have attached...

Day going good so far thanks Hules. I'm determined to stay within points today to geta good loss next week. Planned my day and so far so good :) Think I'm going to get some of the old recipe books I had out and have a nose just to keep it interesting. Really hoping I can get my head into...

Hey Redflo, There seems to be a few of us at the moment doing discovery so the more the merrier :D I personally didn't get on well with pp and done every diet club going but trying not to switch again. Good luck and keep posting :) Dan x

Most fruit has half a point. Apple, pear, orange etc. Not got my book on me to look so just thinking off the top of my head sorry. Banana's and grapes(100g) are 1point and I think you can have two small fruit like tangerines as half a point. Sorry its not the best but will check for you...

Morning :) Well I'm up bright and early as always on a sunday (kids have swimming lessons). Weighed yesterday morning and lost 1.5lbs, slightly confused as I binged all week but I'm not complaining. Didn't have the best day yesterday either but done lots of decorating so hopefully the...

Curry sounds delish, love a good curry :) what did you have with your strawberries after? I like crushed meringue and yogurt with them, proper sweet treat. Had another binge :( got a lot going on at the moment and need to realise that the answer doesn't lie in ice cream! Oh well tomorrows...

Wish I was getting close to getting into the 13's, got to get into 14's first :( Saying that have been good so far today, used about 12 out of 24 points so pleased with that. Just tonight now to stay on track and that's the hardest time for me. I love carbs to LouMo and think that's why...

48pp. Good luck, Dan x

Yay you found us Hules :D Well I decided to stick with old points and just getting back on it in the morning. Good idea about something to aim for Sweet-Temptation, now I just have to find something lol. Thinking maybe my wedding anniversary, not until the end of the year and would like...

Well done for not caving :) I've been rubbish though, total binge day and don't want it to turn into a week, month etc. In the last few weeks I've put on 7lbs as just can't break the binge cycle :'( I did post in another thread about taking a break from being on a 'diet' but I'm not. I...

Did you find it? I only started posting on there the last couple of days but I need all the support I can get lol. Good luck, Dan x

Hey Hules, Don't know if you've seen it but there's a sticky doing ww from home, doesn't matter that your doing vintage. There's a couple of us that go on there most days so maybe worth you joining in if you feel like you want some support :) Good luck, Dan x

Well done both on your losses :D I been rubbish (no change there), really need to get my head into it but struggling. Binging is a major problem for me and just can't seem to stop. I'm doing vintage points but thinking about giving pp another go. This way the weeklies would mean I don't...

This exactly what I'm doing :'( OH said the same thing to me about leaving it for a while because its getting me down but don't want to get bigger either. Seems to me the minute I'm on a 'diet' all I want to do is eat. Dan x

I think if you go into account settings on your ww account you can switch to monthly pass. This is more expensive though than online but some people prefer the discipline of having to weigh in a meeting. Good luck, Dan x

Hey everyone how you all getting on? I finally got started today :D so my official weigh in day is now a wednesday and I weigh in the morning. Just hoping the motivation stays with me as I really need to get this weight gone! Good luck everyone, Dan x

Grapes are 1p per 100g :) Finally got started :D fingers crossed this motivation will last the day. Just taking it meal by meal for now. OH is doing it aswell even though he only has a little to lose. Think this will definately help with the getting started. Good luck everyone, Dan x

Just posted on the other thread :) think 2.5 going on cals from mfp. Dan x

2.5 for mints I think, going on 170 cals per pack according to mfp. Hope that helps :) I been rubbish again :( always say I'm going to start and then something comes up and completely throws me off. No more excuses now need to get on it in the morning no matter what. Dan x

Hey all, Mind if I join you? Just weighed myself as starting ww from home in the morning, no point in me going to group as I'm doing the vintage points. Have about 6st to lose in total so really need to get started. Going to take it 7lbs at a time because seems a bit daunting otherwise...

Sounds good to me :) can still join in the general forum, weigh days etc. Just no matter how hard I try can't get into pp at all. Just weighed myself so I know ill definately start in the morning and its not good :( have about 6st to lose so going to take it 7lbs at a time. Seems impossible...

Just wondering how your both getting on? Dan x

Good luck starting LouMo. Today didn't go to plan as kids and oh been ill so going to weigh in the morning and start. Going to plan food tonight to make sure I actually start and going to give faststart a go. Going on hols in about 4 weeks so need to get as much as possible off before then...

Hey chips, Well was suppose to weigh today but all gone abit wrong :( oh and kids all ill so been playin nurse but will definately start in the morning so tuesday weigh day for me :) Only thing is already thinking about just giving pp one last go, grrrr hate it when I do this. Do you...

Propoints. Its the system ww use now :)

Amberv86 - 26pp Rosieposey - 34pp And yes you still get your 49pp per week aswell :) fruit and most veg are 0pp but some need to be pointed eg potatoes, peas, sweetcorn. Lostris - 35pp Hope that helps and good luck, Dan x

Thanks for the welcome :) Discover is the ww plan they had before they brought in pp. Its still counting points but is calculated on cals and saturated fat instead of protein etc. Works better for me because I find I use the weeklies to binge and you don't get them with discover. Plus as I'm...

Mind if I join you? I'm starting back on ww in the morning but doing it from home as not getting on with pp so going back to discovery. Seems a bit silly paying for group when using vintage points. Have about 5st ish to lose so going to take me a while. Hopefully this time ill get there...

Glad to see its not just me that struggles with pp :) I keep going back to it thinking it'll eventually work for me but it never does. I've also found that because I'm a veggie that a lot of staple foods for me are high pp because of the carbs eg pasta, potato etc. Hopefully this time I...

Thanks :)

Hey, Once again I'm back to discovery ww but this time I'm staying here :) in the last month I've switched to that many diets its stupid and always end up back on ww. Problem is that pp just does not work for me so I've stopped going to meetings and found my old discovery folder and doing it...

I don't find meetings all that good but like you said its the thought of going to one that keeps you on plan. Have you thought about getting someone else to weigh you, eg bf/oh? Maybe that would keep you on track instead of weighing yourself or go to a chemist and use their scales same time...

Aint got my book on me but looks like around 24ppish lol. Hope that helps. Good luck, Dan x

Hey, It sounds like your exercising quite a bit but not actually eating all that much. If your body doesn't get enough calories to fuction properly then it will hold on to everything that your putting in. I'm no expert but I would say try eating a bit more. Not rubbish foods but maybe...

Also they encourage you to listen to your body and stop eating when you are full. With your meals being made up of low cal food and stopping eating once your full and not stuffed you should create the deficit needed in cals to lose weight :) Good luck, Dan x

Hi sammi, You seem to be doing really well on sf, wish I had your motivation lol. Think I need to get myself a bit more organised when it comes to food so going to do a meal plan and shopping in the morning. Hoping this plan will just be a bit more natural than point watching all the...

Not sure of the fat percentage of an egg but in some of the rosemary conley meal plans they're included so I would assume they're fine. Good luck, Dan x

This is the problem I have when trying to switch over to sw and always end up back on ww. This is simply because I can't get the system out of my head and not because I think it is a better diet. Wish there was a switch I could flip in my brain that would just shut it off :( I would say just...

Good luck. First 2 weeks are hard but well worth it for the losses :) Thinking of giving it a go again myself but no classes near me. Let us know how your getting on, Dan x

Hey all, Well as title says this week I'm going to give f&h a proper go instead of half trying then pointing it so I can eat rubbish food. I'm a serial diet switcher and went back to ww last fri in the hope that it would help me stick with it but I just can't get out of the mindset of...

I've done this the last few days and end up feeling guilty and eating even more. Take me ages to break the cycle so if anybody has any suggestions how to stop it I would be grateful to hear them. Good luck with getting back on track, Dan x

I like both plans but unfortunately for me this means I switch all the time and get nowhere. I would say though that I find sw more expensive when I follow it and ww a lot more 'liveable'. If I have a naughty day on ww I don't tend to write off the week as I can just count it but seem to...

I joined ww again this morning after ccing since monday but need a group to keep me focused so back again lol. Well pleased though as I lost 2.5lbs since monday. Think having my weeklies renewed every friday will really work for me aswell so actually excited about losing weight again :)...

Good luck x

Good luck, Dan x

* what works for you lol

Hey, I use to do this all the time and the only way I worked around it was to set pp allowances per meal and only a few for snacks. Its hard at first but its the only way I manage to stop the snacking on rubbish foods. I found I was less hungry as I had more points per meal and would then...

Hi all, Just wondering how everyone else uses their allowance. I'm only on day 4 but already noticed that I have a tendancy to use a lot of cals on not so healthy snacks that I really don't need. With this in mind I'm thinking of splitting my cals into indiviual allowances for breakfast...

Well done 3 full days on cc and haven't switched to another diet, this is a miracle for me! Finally feels like something is clicking into place, now to get some exercise on the go. Just hope I lose come weigh in if I carry on like this otherwise I'll be devasted. Good luck, Dan x

Can't see it taking you long so fingers crossed for your next weigh in :) I will be here a little longer though lol, hopefully if I can keep my head in it then no longer than 3 weeks. Good luck, Dan x

I have never tried the green tea but have mint tea everyday as it helps with a medical condition I have. I wasn't all that fussed to begin with but have got so use to it now I actually miss it if I run out. Can't say its helped me with weightloss though but has other health benefits :) Dan x

Anyone in this weight bracket? I started back ccing on Monday at 15st7lb :( Been good so far this week, I know its only 3 days but got to start somewhere. Good luck, Dan x

Good luck x

Well done good today and managed to stay within my cal allowance. Baby steps and all that :) Did feel the urge to point it though, must get out of this habit as that's when I want to go back to slimming clubs. Just need one good week to prove to myself that I can do this on my own. Good...

Good luck, Dan x

I started back on cc today aswell and so far so good :) How you both finding it? I have about 5st to lose at least so will be here for a while. Good luck, Dan x

Hey all, Well what can I say serial diet switcher back on cc. Don't know what it is with me but I always feel like I can't stick to a diet unless I join a club but enough is enough. Starting in the morning I'm ccing and my oh has agreed to do it with me so I think this will really help...

Tomato and veg, tomato and red pepper and the chicken and noodle. Dan x

Hi, Most of the ww breads, eg wraps, bagels, pitta but not naan bread. There's a couple of ww soups and ww meats. That's all I can think of at the moment. You don't have to buy ww stuff though as there are loads of other cheaper brands aswell. Things like crumpets are 'free' and sugar...

Only ww filling and healthy I can find are tomato and veg, tomato and red pepper but if its just tomato on its own then needs to be counted. The ww chicken noodle soup is also filling and healthy just incase your looking for 'free' ones. Good luck, Dan x

Hey, Just wondered how you are getting on? I'm on day 2 of pp and find the old style much easier. Signed up online for a month now though so think I'll probably stick with it for a bit. Shame that they couldn't keep both so that people had more choice. Good luck, Dan x

Hi gemst, Last time i didn't really have my head in the right place. I like the diet but kept looking for a quick fix so constantly switched diets and got nowhere. This time i realise that i need to be happy with just a lb week and that eventually they'll add up. I've got about 5st to lose so...

Can i join please? Started back on ww this morning, joined online this time instead of groups as they don't really work for me. Good luck for weigh in, Dan x

Hey all, Hope you don't mind me joining? Been here before but then switch diets but this time Im back for good. Joined online last night and actually found some determination from somewhere, just hope it stays! Weighed in this morning at 15st 3.5lbs which is not as bad as i thought it would...

Hey all, Thanks for all the replies, i decided to join online in the end even if its just for a couple of months. Im a serial diet switcher so feel like i need to join up to something otherwise ill start a different diet again and then switch back etc. Im hoping this way it'll keep me on ww...

Well after being on rc for a couple of weeks Im coming back to ww. Only thing is can't decide whether to join online or go it alone. I'm worried if i try it on my own i tend to start again the next day so get nowhere. Just wondered if anyone using the online system and if its worth it as Im...
