How's everyone's bank holiday going? We've been to a Bushcraft show today for somewhere to go which was fun. Anyone wanna guess the points for a buffalo burger? I shared one with the hubby. I've gone for a beef equivalent and have guessed about 8vp for the whole thing. What do you think?

Ha! I'd like that, but could really do with smaller ones to keep me focussed, I'm happy to do a June one.. Been thinking I could do with some sort of water challenge too.

That's brilliant news! Just shows how well you have actually been doing considering! Most veg is free, just the starchy ones need pointing. Fruit is free on PP but I do actually binge on fruit (i.e grapes - mmmm), so I prefer to actually count them. Right, tangerines x2 =0.5 points gin pub...

It's got her foods, but might give you a bit of a start.

Hi And welcome to the board Established :) Those points are correct. My shopping guide has a paper bag of groceries on it. I use it all the time - the pages of basics at the front are starting to fall out now. If you just want some basics I did this list for my friend a while back (it's on...

I think you're right Danders, I'm sure I've already replied you but it seems to have disappeared!!?? I'm having all sorts of probs on my tablet, I've had to come on the desktop to log on and post! It's brill that you're exams are done, you can relax a bit now and focus :p Hey Pollyanna! I...

No idea why but I've stayed the same this week. I track EVERYTHING and I've eaten brill. Ahh well, hopefully it'll sort itself out next week with a mega loss. danders: target = 7lbs loss (5.75 lost so far) Hules: target = 7lbs loss (0 this week - 4.25 lost so far) pants! Sharkbait1983 = 7lbs loss

Hiya! Busy day! Nah, sts sadly. I haven't moved all week, no idea why? I'm going to try drinking more water this week. I've also got too plan around a takeaway I'm having tomorrow. I'll need to plan very low meals to let me enjoy it. So are you all done now exam wise hun?

Hey slimgirlww, congratulations food the first weeks loss! That's fantastic! Are you following vintage? Any goals? thanks, I can't believe in 4 weeks in already! I've not got high hopes for tomorrow weigh in, I haven't moved all week. Fingers crossed for at least a stay the same xxx

I'm really sorry to hear that too mrsprids x Glad you're joining us though, welcome back. Have you started yet? What are your plans?

That's great! Only 1.25lbs to go and you've still got another weigh in! Definitely doable!

Woohoo! That is brilliant, well done hun!

Fab, proper countdown now then!

Thanks, feel fine now. Been to body combat and sh'bam so have gotten out all the aggression and my inner diva. Had a lovely lunch of roast veg crustless quiche, with potato salad (with red onion and chive) and salad. Yum yum yum! Have a good weekend too danders! Are you nearing the end now?

I track everything and there's nothing else really out off the ordinary. I had a burger in the bun, but it was a nice 'finest' one and I have mince stuff often (burgers too, just usually with a sweet potato these days rather than bread). Stomach feels odd too this morning. It's making all sorts...

I've had a bit of heartburn tonight. First time in ages. First time I've had bread in ages too, just a little Warburton's flat square bun thing. I think my body isn't overly keen on bread any more (it's certainly not happy tonight!)

I think mine does too. It's really the only thing I lose weight on. You do have to stay focussed though, it's really hard if there are any distractions around. I'm doing this at the right time for me. Nothing to distract me, no parties or outings til my jollies. I keep telling myself that I can...

It really is, it's the only one I lose weight with consistently and healthily. No extras, just clear guidelines and limits

Yay! I lost 2¼ this week - really pleased with that. I've hit my first target of half a stone and now lost 8lbs overall. Not bad in 3 weeks and feeling sooooo much better already.

Another 2¼ lost this week woohoo! That takes me to 8lbs lost overall and 4¼ for this challenge danders: target = 7lbs loss (4.25 lost so far) Hules: target = 7lbs loss (2 this week - 4.25 lost so far) Sharkbait1983 = 7lbs loss

You can do it! How long til e-day?

Hmm, you might be able to do up to 4 extra, I seem to remember that I was on 20 then was allowed 24 to maintain (were talking 10 years ago now!) So I might have totally made that up...? I guess everyone is different, maybe try to stick to points but don't beat yourself up over it if you go a few...

Yay! The more people the merrier! Good luck with your first week Sharkbait! I've had a good few days. I'm really busy at work but I've really settled in now - relaxed into it all, and even went out to dinner and dancing all within points. I guess I'm mostly pleased that I'm eating healthily too...

Me too. Got rid of the smaller clothes in the wardrobe, by chucking them in the loft. I'm looking forward to rummaging back through them to find 'new'stuff to wear.

July. I cannot wait! I really really REALLY want to feel like I can wear a swimming costume at least, if not a tankini :D Currently I wouldn't even feel comfortable in shorts and t-shirt. I'm definitely a goal orientated girl. Are you working towards anything?

Ahh, portion control. That's why I'm back with vintage too. I have none usually!

I want another 2 - if I could keep that up I'll have lost around 2 stone before my hols. If I actually manage to do a stone and a half I'll be well chuffed!

Good start :) danders: target = 7 lbs loss (3.5 lost so far) Hules: target = 7lbs loss (2 lost this week, 2 lost so far)

Oh, and 2lb loss today :)

Hi honey-j! Yay! Welcome and how exciting about the calculator :) Do you mean scales for weighing out food? I do, I'm fully pointing so I need to know exactly how much it weighs or how much I can have for my points. Pasta, rice etc and I always weigh my spuds before I cook them. Saying that...

I guess about 2½ stone overall but at least aiming for getting into the 11s I feel comfortable there. How about you?

I feel that way too! I lost 4st before I got married thinks ago and had a blowout after nearly every weigh in, I reckon that's why it took me over 2 years

That would be fab, but I think I will write them off as it's the start of my new week. I'm going to have a slice of (pointed, once I've worked it out) cheesecake today instead :) Fingers crossed for that 2lbs next week xxx I've got mine crossed for 2 as well!

16 is good, you must be so focused too! I LOVE jacket spuds. I've realised though that I don't need as big a spud as I thought I did. Even so 2.5 - 3 points is is a bargain to fill you up! I've had a good couple of days bring a few under and have 3 points extra to spend today. It's the day...

It's good when you find something that works/makes sense. Yep, totally still in it :D It's all about where your head is isn't it? I've now settled back in to pointing and feel pretty comfortable. If I have a snack attack I have a few weighed out tortilla chips and houmous or date balls and...

Yay! That's fantastic! Do you have probs with milk? I don't have trouble with it but I don't have a great deal myself as I have smoothies for breakfast with oatly instead. Have you tried it? It's basically just oats and water. I really like it, it's like muesli milk. About the same points as...

Hey honey-j, how are you getting on hun?

Ahh, you'll do great! Just think ONLY two more weeks, then rreeelaaaaxx! :)

Oooh fab! I'll join you on 7lbs as I've no idea how quickly I'll be losing this time. danders: target = 7 lbs loss (0 lost so far) Hules: target = 7lbs loss (0 lost so far)

It could help, I'm really off it. I've realised it gives me heartburny pain and kind of sits heavy. I have it occasionally but prefer rice or spud at the mo. How's the studying this week? How long before exams?

What about posting your days food on here? I can have a look and might see something that could help?

Oh no, is this each morning? Are you tracking hun? I track EVERYTHING. Right shown to my cuppa. I have to or I cheat, then my hubby checks my mathsat the end if the day (and makes me accountable). I also seem to weigh heavy after I've had bread too, or eat after 7 at night.

Hee hee! Thanks x I feel even more positive now :D bring it on!

Woohoo! It's May :D I love May! And woohoo! I lost 3¾lbs :) It's also crossed a psychological barrier for me weight loss wise as i've struggled to get under 13.8 for a long time! Yay! I actually did a little boogie! Roll on week 2!

Actually I think you are right, I've managed to be aware that autopilot seems to have switched on and I've started to binge and I've managed to stop it before it goes too far AND then manage the remainder of my day! Long may the enthusiasm last!

Thanks hun x :) Well I've managed to end the week on exactly the right amount of points with a 20.5/20.5 day. I'm really hopeful about tomorrow weigh (pleeeasssse let me have lost a few!). I want this so bad now, I'm done with this extra weight! How has your day gone?

Good morning! So this is day 7, I weigh in tomorrow. Feeling positive still though it's been a bit harder the last couple of days I feel the binge monster creeping up. I went over the day before when I felt peculiar and had a 26/22. Yesterday I clawed a couple back and had a 19.5/18 which I was...

Perhaps I need more protein or something?

Not scary, just odd. I've had migraines all my life and I get a bit like that when one's brewing. Didn't happen though, maybe I just hadn't had the right things to eat today - energy wise? Feel okay now, though I might give my run a miss in the morning.

Definitely a fluctuation! :) aww what a shame hun! Are you having enough points? TOTM? A big dinner? ;) I reckon it's a blip! Or the scale is pants! I've just returned from sh'bam class where I had a bit of a funny turn! My legs wouldn't do what I wanted them to...! I'm going to put it down to...

What plan are you on honey-j? Well done danders, fingers crossed for tomorrow x fruit ryvita sound lush!

So I ended the day squeezing in a 24/24. I came home from work and got into a bit of a panic eating frenzy but managed to stop myself at 3 chunks of apetina and a corn cake. Hubs then took over and made dinner (chilli wraps) getting me out of the kitchen. Hope everyone else's day went okay! X

So if you are 'walking most of the time' you will be on 26 points or 24 points a day if you are 'occasionally sitting, but mainly standing'. The thing is with ww if you start too low you will lose drop pounds, but you'll have nowhere to go when you need to drop points as you start to plateau...

I'm on 22. Go back to the vintage main page and one of the stickies by Starlight tells you how to work out your daily points. Otherwise I need to know your age, weight, height and whether you are mostly sitting, standing or moving in a day and if you're breastfeeding. Have you done old ww...

I guess it will be Friday as that's when I started. No planned exercise for the next few days. I've a full day at work tomorrow which will be mostly on my feet and I can only eat what I take with me so that should be fine. The danger time is when I get home from work! Well done staying in...

So how has your day gone? I'm just having a cuppa which puts me to 23/25.5 (did a 18.5/22 yesterday). I'm not counting any exercise yet. And just to add to my crazy weekend of activity I played golf this afternoon, fab in the lovely sunshine! I'm feeling it now though, I had to stretch when I...

Heh heh! Go rainbow drops!

That some serious revision! Perhaps you need a plan of action? What about working out your meals, seeing what you have left, take off a few points for emergencies then divide the rest between treats. You can then use these as a reward when you've completed a task or set amount of time studying...

Oh, they're co-op, I'll have to scout them out!

Hey Honey-j, are you following vintage too? How are you getting on?

It's so difficult when you struggle to find time to exercise (or often can't be bothered like me :)) I tended to snack on low point rubbish before too and I wanted to change that. My tastes have definitely changed over a year. I think diet is the main way to lose weight rather than exercise...

These sound lovely, I'll have a look for them this week when I do the food shop.

I remember them all :D This may be too late for you now but 123 Success is just one of the old points guises. It's not much different to discover, pure points etc. If you go back to this board's topic summary there is a sticky by Starlight that explains how to work out your daily points.

I am in the zone - Go Day 2!! I know old WW really well too, I've done it for years. I've looked at loads of other options, but just can't be doing with learning something new - especially when I know this so well (point values for things just pop in my head!). The problem I've had for the...

Definitely worth a go! Be strong with your last point, perhaps have a drink of water to fill up? I've done pretty well today food wise. I've had 18.5/22 - tea was broccoli and blue cheese soup (one of my faves, I've posted it on here somewhere), ryvita and lightest phil. 3.5 all in. Hubby made...

That's fab! I'm never sure whether to use activity points or not. I certainly lose quicker when I don't but they are great for that treat or emergency (I remember once running round and round the garden to work back points I'd gone over by :)). I've actually earned loads of points today - I did...

Congrats on your losses and motivation so far danders :) I like the way you record your points too. I did a fairly tight 22/22 yesterday!

Hey there! I used to post on here all the time but it became soooo quiet and I went off on a bit of a healthy eating journey (not weight watchers). I am currently eating lovely healthy foods (green smoothies - yum, date balls, salads galore), but struggle with binge eating (good foods but still...

You can use an old shopping guide that you may be able to pick up on eBay, I think there are a few basic lists on here. Otherwise the formula is (calories ÷ 70) + (saturated fats ÷ 4) = points (which you will need to round up or down to the nearest half point)

Hiya, just wanted to welcome you to the WW vintage boards hun. Did you start? How did it go in your first few weeks? I'm back on it as of Wed too :rolleyes:

Hi Tins and welcome to the WW board. You should be able to find a fair bit of old point info on this board. I'd also keep looking on ebay. They do come up from time to time. I've just found this list that I did for a friend, hope it helps a bit! Wholemeal bread 1.5 Seeded bread...

Hi Rosie and welcome to the WW Vintage board! Sorry that no-one's been around to answer your post, it's been soooo quiet on here! I don't really know of any specific boards with points etc, but you'll probably find a few by searching this board. I'm about to start over again on Wed. I...

Wow! Some good losses this week, well done ladies! Sorry that I'm not around, I haven't been on here at all go a couple of weeks, I feel a bit a fraud chatting on here but not actually following the plan. I'm watching what I eat, generally eating healthily but am not ww or dieting in any way. I...

Hey ladies, good morning. So sorry to be AWOL I've had a very long, busy (work wise) and tiring week, along with a grumbling toothache. I'm away this weekend too with little chance if any of getting on the net. I weighed in again this morning at yet another STS. I guess this isn't going to...

Yay!!!! I STS so I didn't make mine. I have made lots of positive changes though so I feel it's actually been quite a good month for me.

That's really brilliant! You'll be in the 13s for sure next week! I don't know what happened. Well yesterday I managed to get showered, dressed and have breakfast before I remembered I should have weighed in. Weighed in this morning and I've stayed the same. Hmmm. Anyway, I've been for a run...

Welcome to that WW Vintage board Zanthee. It's fairly quiet on here so it's lovely to see a new person pop up. You've done really well so far despite your blip, 13lbs is brill! I love the old points too, though I'm currently doing my own version of No-count (or Core depending on which...

Good news about your friend. I wouldn't want to do without my carbs either. I honestly think it should be everything in moderation! Dentist was pah! I've managed to crack a big chunk of tooth that although hasn't fallen out, is no longer attached to my molar. It's very annoying and due to...

Still absolutely loving the smoothies. I dunno if the Maca powder actually does anything or not, but I actually really like the taste so I'm going to stick with it. Got on the scales for a sneeky peek and it looks good. Fingers crossed for 1lb+ (though 2.5 for the challenge is a bit of an ask...

Hi Hollyt60 :D welcome to the vintage board! I'm sure there is a link to it somewhere on here, I'll try to find it when I'm on the computer (on my phone at the mo). It's lovely to have you here! We have a general chat thread called The Check-in Point, and a weigh in board. Feel free to jump...

I guess so, what are the points on the Doritos? I bet you have. Good going though, I think it's great that you worked it off, you could easily have just said 'oh well, it's a bad day's. You do need a book! Well done smirky hun, 8lbs is fab! :D I'm doing okay, I had to work all day at home...

No. It's not healthy and non sustainable. We are already bingers hun and it would just take you back to square one. You have given your friend advice and she must make her own choices. However we both know that you're in it for the long haul, a change in lifestyle, not a quick fix or it'll go...

That's great, knowing you CAN just stop and you don't have to easy the lot is half the battle. I think people will start to notice soon. Even those close to you. They'll see you walk towards them, or see you in a dress :D and they'll realise you're looking good! I'd love to see you in your...

My arms are big too. They did slim down when I was at my slimmest before I got married, but they also looked really good when I was 11.5st and running. All that arm pumping.....I need to get of my backside....! I expect that you are really starting look good now, are people noticing? You really...

Good idea. I was just realised it hadn't been up updated for a while. I could do that too, my scales do 1/4 1/2 and 3/4s. In fact I think I will.

Yay! Atta girl! That is brilliant, what is it now? 8.5? You are really on the ball and focussed, it's brill. Well done hun, and fingers crossed for next week!

Just got in from a lovely night out in town where I could have gone dancing but didn't. I didn't feel comfortable, I want this weight off now..... Mmmmm broccoli and blue cheese soup..... that's lunch sorted for tomorrow (or today actually! :p)

You can do it! I have faith in you xxx

Yay!

Hooray! 2.5 off from last week and now 4.5 in total. Really pleased as I'm now under the first week's weigh in!

Wow, that's great! It does show you that a lot of the niggles, aches and pains etc. are actually down to the excess weight. I know that the little knee pain I get will be gone once I'm under 13. It all a learning curve! I did need to sort my eating out, I just needed find the balance and...

Hey ladies, You have to live your life and you need to be able to include stuff like pizza into it too. Though obviously you are accountable (on the scales) so you do need to be able to adjust the rest of the week a bit to limit the damage. It looks to me that you are both doing that...

It is, it's great. Well done hun! Send some of of your fairy dust my way! :rolleyes:

Hi Lou, I've never heard of them, where do you get them from?

It could be all sorts of reasons hwy it's over, I think you should only worry if it gets close to weigh-in and it's still there. It might be as simple as your dinner from last night hasn't gone through yet?? Maca is a powder that you can get from holland and barratt its a ground peruvian root...

At least you knew it was coming. Half a pound is still half a pound off! Well done hun! So another good day so far. Cereal for breakkie, yoghurt strawberries for snack, smoked salmon and prawn with stir fried veg and rice for lunch, green smoothie (drinking now with banana, pear, maca...

Morning! Where is everyone? It's gone all quiet again. It must be at weekends! I'm beginning day 3 of the new me. I really feel good. I had another day of eating healthy meals and pointing the extras and it's working well. Bought a smoothie 2go yesterday which I'm still undecided about, I'll try...

I did totally miss it! I think I just clicked on 'last post' and it was trinab's message, but on the next page. Sorry hun! I'm not switching diets really, it's still vintage but you only count the points above and beyond healthy meals. I've done it today and I feel much more comfortable. I...

I'd love to be 11.3 again, I felt really comfortable there, it's a good weight for me. You'll get there hun, you've done so well already! I think you just need to track everything and shake things up a bit.

I love that you're on my side in a scrap!:p I'm back from work now and feeling much more positive, I think maybe in a mucked up way, I needed a bad weigh-in to do something about it!

And plan to punch it on the nose! Already feeling better! xx

GLad that is helpful for you hun x You don't need any other resources to try it, it was just someone called Wendie who first put a structure to it. Just do what you are doing but vary the points accordingly.

As you should be! That's fab!! Well done hun.

Today is actually weigh in day :(. I think I'm going to give core another go, at least for a week. I've got to get a handle on the snacks as you say. Fingers crossed for me eh? Hmmm, yep, decision made - core plan (I may also weigh in tomorrow), not sure now what I actually did last week...

You're sounding so positive Lorny honey, can you send some my way!? I feel truly pants, I don't know why I can't help myself!? I'm thinking I may need to go back to core plan for a bit as I have a limit on the amount of extra points I can have on crap snacks the rest needs to be wholesome...

Ahh, so I feel like I've let everyone down. I weighed in at 13.7 this morning which is 1.5 over what I weighed last week. I'm struggling to get a grip at the moment. I don't want to diet, so don't have the motivation to track - yet I really don't like how I look *sigh* Not good for the 4WFFFC!

Yay!! Welcome back Lou! 6lbs is good going there lady! x It's nice that its a bit busier, I do hope it stays that way too.

Hey Deborah71, welcome from me too! Sorry I didn't notice your thread until I came on my computer, the phone app just shows the threads I've posted to unless I go hunting. I think it's good to take it all one step at a time too!, Small steps all add up. I think the nice thing about the...

I need variety too, I think I'd struggle with shakes for just that reason. Yesterday I wrote out a list of all the meals we eat as a family and the idea being that I can just chose one off the list each day and get the stuff out of the freezer, rather than getting home and wondering what to...

I also think 1.5 is great Jackie. Off is off! X

You're on!

Your lunch sounds really nice. I could have something similar, I've got wraps in the cupboard (mind you, got a freezer full of soup too!). I hope you get it sorted today hun x I've now got a hen do and wedding to go to at the end of June. Very exciting, but I really want to be slimmer for...

Good girl! You turned it into a positive! And burned a few cals to boot. So, uni work wise, do you know what you are doing now? Can you talk it through with anyone? You really do need to get bashing on with it first thing tomorrow, I've found it's the work hanging over you that's the worst bit...

I've had pumpkin pie, it's very sweet and a bit sickly, you can't eat much. Soup was delicious. Pumpkin is very similar to butternut squash if you've had that, but more watery and less flavour. My soup had sweet potato too so it was lovely. I also put in ginger, onion, Korma paste (2?) and a tin...

Right, so the Uni work is the priority. You need to make a start on this and get at least an hour under your belt before you do anything else - you'll feel loads better. Then you can take a break to get on your bike, it'll help you evaluate your work so far and re-organise it in your head as...

It does sound lovely! I'm not up to much today I don't think. I quite like days like that. Going to try NOT to snack (to excess anyway!). It is quiet!

Well I'm not doing very well either. Oh well! I might just do the same. 20 points Mon-fri and not worry at the weekend. Ahh I dunno! The cheese doesn't really melt, but stays in lumps like goats cheese does. I still like it though. I've gone off the cheese heavy pizzas the older I get...

Actually I think they are lovely, not plasticy at all, I've had them on home made pizza and salad too as well as on crackers etc. I've lots of low point snacks around but they are adding up.

What a shame hun. Just going to have to face the music then :( Soup was yummy. I've posted it on the 6 point and under board. The soup and bread only came to 2.5 points! Mmmmmm! Seem to still be snacky though - TOTM so putting it down to that.

Broccoli and Blue Cheese Soup My Broccoli and Blue Cheese soup was delish. Really creamy and only a point a bowl! Yum! Frylight 1 tsp oil (I used coconut - yum!) A large head of broccoli (chopped up and stalk and florets separated) a 200gish potato cubed a large onion chopped 3 veg oxo cubes...

Wow!!! That is absolutely brilliant! Good going lady!

Oh dear. Could you just replace it and not tell him?

Hey honey! Congrats on your upcoming wedding! How exciting! Why don't you join us over on the new main vintage board (it's got a new name :p)?, we've also got a challenge on there which might be just what you need! We're also happy to kick butt as and when needed! A stone is totally doable in...

I've not got Singapore chow mein but special is 6 and rice noodles Singapore style is 5.5, plain rice is 6.5, no s&p chicken I'm afraid, chicken kung po is 7.5 and beef in black bean is 8 so I'd probably go for somewhere around there. Hope that helps a bit! :p

Heh heh! I love how crazily excited you sound :D

Yay for new sized trousers! Love it! That's when you start too feel really good about yourself! Well done honey! 2 1/2 lbs it's good going too! I decided to wait until Friday to weigh in so fingers crossed for tomorrow! (If it's not great I might leave it until Saturday :p). I've been within...

Well, my hubby is simply not allowed chips from the chippy :p if he chose to have them anyway he knows that he'd never hear the end of how it made me fall off. I can't resist chippy chips mmmm! Did you manage it Jackie hun? If you did you are a far stronger woman than I am! I was back at work...

Heh heh! Sorry about your bike hun, hope it gets going tomorrow x I always keep a book - a new one whenever I start again. They are A6 size so biddy. I use a page a day to write what I've eaten with the date, points for the day, days in a row I've been wwing and my weight if I weighed in...

Oooh busy :D I love it! Well I have been such a good girl today. Considering I have just worked for 8 hours straight and only had a green smoothie, lunch which was pasta, rich tea biccies, grapes and then chicken caesar salad without the caesar and with chilli instead as the dressing had gone...

We're trying to get it going again :D. I for one can't do this very well without having people too talk it through with, especially those who are going through the same thing! Your dinner sounds lovely! I'm doing work at the mo so will probably defrost something. Maybe taco mince?

You're more than welcome honey! Our regular daily chat thread is called 'The Check-in Point' and feel free to jump on in with the weigh ins and challenges. I'm on 23 points at the mo too. What are your plans for dinner? (Just being nosy, I'm always looking for inspiration :p) x

Hi ladies, I've woken up feeling positive. Day 2 here we come! I wasn't too try to get a soup on today but I'm back at work tomorrow and I've loads to do for that. I snack badly when I have to work at home. Not today though hopefully. Annalisalud, we've all been the same boat this weekend. You...

Was it really July? Ahh pants! And I'm at least a stone heavier now :(. Right, this is day 2, I will not be chunky this summer! Lorny, draw a line under it. Today will be a good day, and you have a plan. Home from uni, and prepare dinner. Then you are going to put your gym stuff on and get on...

You might found that you have a good loss with high and low points over a week if you can do it sweetie. If it all totals up it'll be like doing the wendie plan (dunno if you've heard of that?).

Well done hun, it's all about the small victories. You can do it!

Heh, you're right there. Now ladies, it needs to be now! Or it'll be summer before we know it and we'll be no different. I know I just need to get my head back in the right place. I think I'm suffering sugar and junk withdrawal which makes it hard to resist. If i can get a few days under my...

Start weight (if you want) then I'll update the rest when you weigh in x

Heh, nope won't do it again (only two cupcakes left now :p). Nah, I've had a good day, we had the rest of the casserole for tea with some fake Pringles and parmesan scrunched and sprinkled on top. It was lovely. Had a meringue nest with nana and Greek yog. It was lovely. I've only had 21 points...

Hey Jackie, want me to help load your info? You don't have to put your weight, we can just put your name on x By the way, these tables don't work in the minimins app so if you don't have access to a computer let us know your details and we can update the table for you x

So far so good. Had special K for breakfast then walked to the DIY shop with the hubster which is about 20mins each way. I didn't get anything in costa for the journey home when the girlie wanted a hot choc either (would usually have something like a cookie or a flapjack but waited til I got...

Found you hun :) subscribing x

I ate 3 cupcakes yesterday :( no excuses, they were there and I ate them. I worked them out later and they were 5 points each. EACH! So after all evening with heart burn and feeling very disappointed in myself today is a new day. My hubby made me scrambled eggs on toast for breakky before I came...

Morning ladies! How exciting! Your backside will be so slinky Lorny :) I only really run, not on a treadmill though I like being outside (when i get off my bum). I like to dance too, I used to salsa with my friend which I loved, but when I get heavier it gets sweatier which, when you are...

Hi and welcome back Loser85, I love that you have bouts of shouty sweariness :p. I also get sugar dips, but have found that if I have something like a biscuit it does pick me up, but not for long - I get on a kind of sugar rollercoaster. I do better with some fruit like a banana (had one of...

Hi ladies, I've returned too if you'll have me? I'd really like to sort out my house and as it's actually been fairly tidy for Christmas now would be a great time to jump back onto the flylady train. I'll look out the book in a mo and i do like the idea of a family calendar with a column for...

I reckon so, but I'm not sure if I could do so much now-a-days. It all seems to have slowed down in the last couple of years (or perhaps my heart's just not been in it? I managed 2st in 3 months a few years back so I guess it's just my state of mind, I will keep cheating!). Anyways as much as I...

Ooh sounds lovely! I like veggie every now and then and I could totally meatify this anyway for only a few extra points.

Pancakes Makes about 8 (50ml each) which is 2.5 points for 2. 112g plain flour 2 med eggs 210ml skimmed milk 90ml LF Spray oil Sift in the floor, whisk in the egg, gradually add the milk and water until you have a smooth batter. Spray the pan and then get it really hot then reduce to med...

I don't know about everyone else but most of my meals need to come in at less than 6 points. I thought it might be a nice idea to have somewhere to post any good ones so feel free to pop any you have tried in here (please remember to point it up :D).

Ooohhh nice, that sounds exactly my type of tea! Hmm, I think we need a recipe thread! Annalisalud, if I start one on the main vintage board could you please post this recipe in there too? (*off to start one...:p)

How's it going honey?

Thanks hun! Got a busy day today but plan to be home for meal times so should be okay (fingers crossed x). Katniss? Annalisalud? Savinac? How's it going? Feel free to post on here, it's our daily 'meeting' board :D

Hi savinac and welcome to the vintage board too! Good luck for your first day ladies! You can do it! A holiday is a great incentive. I cycled round Guernsey on a little folder bike and whilst I loved the experience, boy, did I feel plump. Looking back on my photos I wasn't so bad, but at the...

Just me then :p

Morning everyone and a happy New year! Me too Lorny! I was a little distracted by the nibbles out new years eve but, trying to get focus back now. I'm doing my usual mix of counting points and core planning it depending on where I am. We had some sad news yesterday that's made me more than...

Oh no! What a shame, I do hate it when you fancy one thing and ended up having to have another, you never feel satisfied. I was rubbish, hubby was great sorting me some soup from the freezer (butternut and pear) but everyone else was having crispy chicken in par baked baguette. I just didn't...

Not sure, been snacking myself rather today (my vice) and I had a lovely but a bit expensive points wise lunch (quorn stirfry inspired by yours yesterday, I'm not veggie but didn't have any chicken. Was nice though!). I might just raid the freezer for some homemade soup. What are you having?

Heh! That's the best way to avoid snacking, keep occupied!

Hi Nicola, I'm here to subscribe too! It's always nice to find another vintage follower (have you been on the vintage board yet? I'm back after a few months away and unfocussed and am trying to rally a few Old Pointers to get things going on there again!) How did you get on over Christmas? Did...

Hi Annalisalud and welcome to the Vintage board! The calculation is indeed calories/70 and Sat fats/4 (or fats/2 if you don't have the sat fat value). I'd definitely consider having a look to see if you can find any of the points books second hand, you could get the Shop guide (for the main...

Sorry, still not been able to get on the computer. It's the NHS one though so perhaps you could try their website? x

I'll try to get on later to look it up for you. So dinner was nice, if a bit different. It was veg (onion, carrots and brussels) sauteed, with some salmon and smoked haddock. Then I put some milk, Philly garlic and herb, garam masala, and coarse grain mustard in the pan too. I topped it with...

Well one of our bedroom walls is now a lovely warm grey instead of Kermit green :) I feel calmer already. The c25k is free and you'll easily find it if you Google it. I'm on my phone or I'd find you the link. I can have a look later if you're struggling. I can only do about 15 mins without...

I'll let you know how it goes :) I prefer to make everything from scratch if I can or if I can be bothered! That way I know how many points are in it and I can stuff it full of veggies. The ocean pies are nice though! I follow weight watchers but the old plan (ie vintage) not pro points. It's...

With my renewed enthusiasm I thought it might be a nice idea to see who we've actually got on the Vintage board at the mo and do a new role call. So who is here? I'll kick us off :) I'm Hules and I live in Notts. I'm a chronic yo-yo dieter whose biggest problem is snacking on junk with no...

You're welcome :) You're a stronger willed gal than I am doing shakes :) I do vintage weight watchers. I know one of the other girls on the vintage board often has shakes as part of her daily points count. I totally ate what I wanted over Xmas, though to be fair I wasn't even pretending I was...

Hi Hulahoop, Firstly you have done amazing well so far, you lost over a stone and a half in a month!! I'll bet you looked great! You then had Christmas where I think EVERYONE struggles to eat normally. I personally think you should enjoy the time, life's too short to beat yourself up over a...

Hey Laney, welcome to the vintage board too honey, I've just checked back at the previous message pages and realised you were also there (I know it was over a week or so ago, hopefully you're still around!?). How are you getting on hun? Did you manage over Christmas? I'm also starting back on...

Morning! I need buddies too, I definitely need company to stay focussed. I felt motivated yesterday and I had a good day. I'm on 23 points and only ate 21 that was allowing myself 3 bits of fudge (I don't eat choc so that's my Christmas treat) and some tortilla chips and dips the the hubby had...

Hi katniss and welcome to the vintage board. I'm sure you'll do great, hopefully there'll be peeps around regularly to chat to, it can be very quiet! When do you plan to start? I need to get my act together and sorry out my eating. I'm going to weigh and assess tomorrow though will probably...

Hey Lisa (and Laney if you're still around) and welcome to the vintage board! I've been totally awol the last couple of months. I've been so fed up with dieting and rebelled a bit. Sadly as much as I hoped I could just stop dieting and try to eat healthily it's obvious that I can't! I feel huge...

Hi honey. Yup, back and 4 lbs heavier :/ I ate what my brother had and didn't over eat (except for frozen yoghurt yummy!) But they ate out or got food delivered EVERY day! It's the norm for them! I did eat some lovely stuff though. I've made the decision not to diet, at least for a while. I'm...

Hey ladies. I'm posting from the states :cool: I also managed to lose 4 lbs before I left and really pleased with that! Well done Lorny and Lou x No plans to be 'good' while I'm here but I I'm not going mad anyway. Chat when I return x x

Be strong honey! There are all sorts of reasons why you might be feeling low, not least because it's getting wintry! Perhaps you need some energy foods? I'm still feeling okay. Not over eating, but not too overly concerned about the points. The odd thing is that although I'm kind of allowing...

Ahh, well done hun! Sounds like you're doing great! Why do people do that? I do wonder, it does sometimes seem that some peeps hate to see someone doing better than they are. It's a shame! You did do well not to eat it x I've had another good day. Went for my run in the rain. And have eaten...

Is it the superfood pasta salad? if so it's about 7.5p. The chicken one is 11p and the salmon one is 12.5. points heavy aren't they?? Loads of other options here though, what do you like?

Hi honeybee I'm afraid the eating out guide is too old to have that in it. Can you find their nutritional info on their website? I can work out the points for you then x Super foods salad sounds lovely x

Hi Karen and welcome, this is probably a little late now, but what dpi you need to know? I can look it up for you in the eating out guide.

So pleased you've cracked it with the shoulder :p and well done too with resisting the buffet and chips. You sound really positive hun x I hopped on the scales this morning and I've lost 2 lbs so I'm chuffed. I've been keeping an eye on points but just trying to eat healthier generally and...

I had another good day. I seem to have calmed down a bit. Had a homemade couscous salad for lunch and fish cake and h/m wedges for tea. It's always a worry when you start getting obviously weight related symptoms. Really hope that you don't get many more of those honey x How's your shoulder by...

Sorry hun, only just seen your message. Lots of us are on our phones so don't see new messages, just those we've participated in unless we go look for them. Probably a bit late now but I'd probably say 5 or 6. The biggest issue is if it was tasty our not? :) I do love lemon cake! I wouldn't...

I know burger buns are supposed to be 4 so that sounds about right to me.

Oh and I'm liking the fact that it's 10 days too, anything else is a bit daunting at these mo x

Ahh, a nice little challenge group I think! Thanks for the telling off Lorny, I need keeping in line :) I've had a good day so far, mostly due to being at work, but I didn't go mad when I got home either so I'm pleased. Day one done! :)

Hi guys, I've been at work all day so not able to snack. Had the munchies when I got home but just had sultanas and a cheese triangle so quite proud of myself. Had about 18 points so far (out of 22) so a good start for me. Now what to have for pud...?

Okay, I'll give it a go too, though still not really focussed. I talked the talk......

I understand that, I was saying the same thing to the hubby about how I am MUCH more focussed when the house is tidy. Sadly it looks like I've been burgled at the moment! (totally not joking either!). I'm also home today and tidying is on the agenda.

I'm going to do a monster push now, hopefully not do too much damage over there (only away a week), then really go for it again until Xmas. How about a little challenge not to keep us going? 10 Day challenge? 10 days 100%? Or I'm up for a 10 weeker if you'd prefer? I'll account for my trip.

So here I am again. I'm all prepared for a new start this morning. Notebook is organised and I feel quite optimistic (thanks Lorny, you got me going x x :p). I'm going to give it a real push for 2 weeks before I go away, then when I get back another real push to Christmas. Anyone else around? I...

Ooh, motivate me Lorny. I need switching on and a good shove to get going :D I could do with a bit of a Xmas challenge, how many weeks is it anyway? I've got 2 weeks until I'm off on my jolly (ABSOLUTELY no chance of WW there!!) then I'll be back and could do with a solid push until...

I love frozen grapes, they last much longer and are delish :)

This is the board you're after :) Discover is just one of the many 'old points' systems. How are you getting on?

Hi Beverley22, welcome to the vintage board! :)

Hey missniki, I've been off the boards for a few weeks but do need to see if I can get the ol' mojo back. How's it been going?

Hey everyone. I've been totally unfocused. I've been super busy at work and so not had much time for anything else the last week or so. How is everyone? Nice to see you back Loser hun. And Lorny and Eviljo too! I now know that without the support it just doesn't happen. I'm off to the states...

Hey vintage peeps, how's everyone doing? I've decided to relax a bit and just try to eat healthily rather than actually point for a while to get my head in the right place. I'm also preparing for a run this morning, though it's raining outside (I actually quite like running in the rain so...

I went for a run!!! Whoohoo! First in a looong time.

Hey hun, I'm still here! Really not focused though, I guess I need to talk about what is going on, but I'm just waiting for that motivation. I've only got 5 weeks until I go away, I've got to try to limit the damage!

Well, I started out well, got to tea time feeling good, then wrecked it again. What on earth am I doing?

I definitely need the support, I just can't do it on my own. Feeling quite down about it at the moment actually!

Hey loser85! Welcome back hun! I'm all over the shop at the moment, really struggling to just get back on it. I did think it was because I was on summer hols but I've been back at work for 2 weeks now and I'm still doing rubbish. I tried clothes on yesterday and felt really plump, I've got to...

Welcome to the new Vintage Points board!! This new forum has been set up to make it easier for those who followed the old programs such as Quick Start, 1,2,3 Success, Pure Points, Discover, Switch, Core and No-Count using the old Weight Watchers Points system. The system is no longer recognised...

So I think I need to get my head focussed with the support and motivation of a bit of a challenge. Anyone up for it?

I need to. I had some toast this morning, buttered it, then remembered! Luckily as I'd just written my woeful message I stopped myself from eating it, gave it to the hubster (who didn't eat it as he'd already had a bit (!!? I would NEVER say no!). Then made another with laughing cow light...

Ahh, me too. I've been madly busy at work and wrecked the 2 positive days I'd had. Just can't seem to get back on it :( my son had a sleepover yesterday and I went and got them chips (gaming you know :D they don't even stop for a pee :D) and we still had the fish pie I'd planned. This wasn't...

Hi lovely, sorry I've been awol too. Can't do it alone and fell off again. I managed 2 good days and then wrecked it. I TOTALLY get what you say, I'm healthy enough, maybe I'm just supposed to be this way? Then why do I feel so plump and unhappy with how I look? I want to do it, I just wish...

Oh, and I did some cleaning exercise today too - scrubbed tiles like a mad thing!

Heh, I do that, I'm so pooped and I've a busy day tomorrow so I thought at about 9.50 that I'll go up to bed in a few minutes and here I am, still awake at 11.30! Well done getting to 2 jacqui x x I've managed day 2 100%. I'm pleased that I managed it though quite a few crap snacks sneaked in...

Thanks Lou, didn't go over points today mostly thanks to those I banked yesterday. I did find myself snacking though, those crisps are sneaking back in. That will need sorting, but I'm pleased. Well done lorny, buffets are a nightmare for me so you did really well! Did you weigh in today? I'm...

lol bloomin' auto correct eh? :D

Hey Feeneyfoofoo and welcome to the Discover board! Hope it goes well for you tomorrow. I never took to pp either, I just 'know' VP, and it makes sense to me. I also know it works. So what do you have planned for tomorrow? It's mutt day off and I want to sort my house, plan my meals and do a...

I did! Yay! Managed to stay within points for three first time in ages. Even have 2 points left. Feeling chuffed (and full up, I do like pointed dinners, they're so full of veg with very few points). How's everyone else's day gone?

Well done jacqui! That it fabby! How your will power held out! And it sounds like you had a terrific time, I love a good do. 1/4lb is good going, but I get the whole 'next day' effect. Rubbish that, when you just want to nibble all day. Well, I've done it! I've had a whole day without going...

Oh no, poor you! Really hope you get a better nights sleep tonight! So how's it been going? Are you still focused? How's the exercise? I watched the hubby go off for his run this morning with no urge to do the same. I might have a go tomorrow... I am, however, going to do a good day today...

Hey lovely lady, wondered where you were xxx Ugh, dreams! I rarely have scary ones but I do have lots of odd ones when my sleeping pattern is out of kilter. Did you manage to get back to sleep? As for not being able to get on, what was going on there? Was it the new tapatalk upgrade? How odd...

Let's do it! I just don't want to be back in the 13s AGAIN! I'm really going to give it a go tomorrow. Keep checking on me Shez, I need monitoring! My food today wasn't too bad, but wasn't great either. I'll try to focus and not go over my points. Wish me luck!

Heh! I wouldn't mind now and again, but I've not managed a fully pointed day yet (she says, sitting in her car eating a cookie!). I guess I don't want it enough today. I've 7 weeks until I go to the states, you'd think I'd have my head on by now! I also work in a school and the hols meant...

Ahhh, hi lovely! Thank you for taking pitty on my in my loneliess :) xxx I've only had grapes so far so I'm still positive. How's it going on PP honey?

It does, doesn't it? I wish more people were around Lou, loads have read this, but no-one else has commented. Shame that! I'll pm mini later today if there's are no further comments. I think you're right on 'points' rather than 'plan' too, I'm thinking that most people call this programme VP for...

Morning! How's everyone doing? I seem to be Billy-no-mates on this thread at the moment :) I'm still struggling to do a 100% day. I've gone back to pointing and nearly managed it but then the hubby came home with mcDonalds and I ate it all! :s I'm going to give it a proper go this weekend -...

Morning ladies. Well, I'm definitely getting there. I would have done a 100% yesterday had hubby not arrived home with a mcds :(. I shall give it ANOTHER go today. How's everyone going? All being good girlies?

Yes, I think f&b do do a light mall section of their menu, I had a chilli chicken salad. You've done well. I've never seen those pizzas, they sound great. Can you get them in Tesco? I wrecked it! Hubby came home late bringing mcds with him :( I ate it, it was lovely :( I had 8 points left...

It's hard to know on points sometimes. I think with frying in oil you can easily double it! I'm really pleased for you, you seem very positive! I've done well so far today, I've had 12 points so have 10 left for tea which is plenty. I'm trying to think what to have, I might have some sort...

Agreed, though I'm not sure I think old points sounds as nice? 'Old Points Board' etc?

Hmmm, not knowing how many points were in the cornflakes cake (sounds yummy) I'd guess probably yes but not by much. Slices and cakes etc tend to work out at about 4 points each. I'd just write it off, things usually work themselves out in the end as we over estimate points x How's it going...

Ahh, lovely! Really pleased that you're feeling so positive. And I love that we might have some more company on here :) I need to focus. I think I shall join you on pure vintage (rather than core until I get back into it).

Ha, I love your little zappy man! I can feel them already! (I'm going to give tomorrow a good go!) Ta hun x

Well I did pants. Sorry ladies....:cry: I had an INSET day at work with yummy buffet lunch. There was masses to eat and only lettuce was WW friendly. Soooooo, yep, rubbish! I've got my folks up on Sat too, so I guess that will be hard too. I'm gonna give tomorrow a good go though. Well...

That's brill! Well done on yor first 2lbs X I've been sort of trying for the last few days but went back to work after summer today and had a REALLY nice lunch laid on which is always un-WW friendly. It was lovely though and now I feel I can concentrate on WWing properly (though it may wobble...

No-one? I said I'd get back to Mini about the name. I'd hate to say go for it without the thoughts of others!

Yep, move along, move along! It'll be off next week, hun, at least it was expected! xx :hug99:

Afternoon! Can you all please check out the new thread in the main Discover board about a board name change x (I know that I miss new stuff if Im on my phone as it only throws up subscribed messages!) xxx Okay day so far, though I have had 2 (counted, but even so...) packets of crisps. Shan't...

Hi peeps, time to get your thinking caps on! I've always thought that it was a bit odd that this board was called the Discover Plan as there were so many different 'plans' on the old system and we often have new people coming on to the site looking for the old programme and not realising that...

Well done lady! You sound chirpier too xx I think little and often is definitely the way to go, I felt horrible after I ate too much at dinner. I'd like to have a bowl and say 'that's enough, I'm full'! (yeah right!) :D I've got some prawns left over for tea, I'll have to see if I can create...

Yup!

I'm here swetie and I'm pleased that you're back xx I want to do 2 stone too and I'd love it to be off for Xmas. I'd feel so fabby! We all fall off (I only got back on yesterday) but it's the getting on and head in the right place and support from each other that we need - you can do it xxx...
