Hit my target weight loss yesterday, actually overshot by 1.5 lbs, well pleased. Went on a shopping expedition to buy new trousers and new jumpers that fit my new shape. Lost 2stones 1.5lbs.

I try to keep off the snacks, as I can go overboard on them, so even if they are low- don't have them in the house.

Luckily we guys don't have that problem- it must be difficult to cope with when you know you have followed the rules carefully.

Here is a basic one 1 cooked skinless chicken breast 2.5 pts 1/2 onion 0 pts 1/2 package bean sprouts 0 pts 1/2 packet fresh egg noodles 3 pts Soy sauce 0 pts Instructions Cut the onion into long thin strips, add to non stick frying pan (or if not non stick add a spray of oil) and fry gently...

100g is 5 points according to WW look up table

Be careful not to overdo the veg part- eventually all the calories will mount up and you could trip up. Taken at normal portions with a meal should be OK.

I'm doing the online PP system- it took a while to get used to looking up the foods and finding out the points, but I'm finding it OK now- don't find the weight watchers forums all that helpful, they are to messily set up- this forum works well for me. I'm just over halfway to my goal since last...

Poundland also do some weight watchers meals for a £1.

Lost a sperm whales brain to date.

I get the urge now and again- then resist it by thinking of the end point in the weight loss goals and eat a bit of fruit instead.

Brilliant weight loss-just waiting until I can do that as well. I agree about celebs- Patsy kensit is not at all inspiring.

Me either!

I'm glad it gets updated for me- saves any hassle.

Baileys one made as a small version sounds good- would only need about a teaspoon of Baileys in it.

Well done. If I do have something more substantial, as long as it comes in with my dailies, I'm OK, but still wonder until the next weigh in day. Has been OK so far.

I weigh in online on Tuesday and the system resets my points for me.

I resist temptation and eat some fruit instead in this snowy weather.

I don't go to wigh ins and do it online- discovered that both our home scales give different results, so stick to one only and weigh in at the same time and same day each week, so I don't forget!!

Agree with Howies buller point post- find out what works for you, I also don't use all my dailies, and don't exchange any exercise tracking either.

I did that the first week- was trying to get to grips with it all. Did gain a pound, but OK since.

I struggled a bit with the propoints and gained the first week, then moderate losses, but now have a system of meals that helps a better loss. average is 2.2 lbs per week.

I think the weeklies are there for such a situation. I try not to dip in to them in a normal week, but there will be times when I will have to.

Got ideas from the weight watchers site for some good tasting recipes, that are lowish points as well.

Nice to know it is 10 points- I have wondered about that.

If I have a treat, it is because I have left room in the points for it. We have a whole chunk of Christmas cake to get through, my OH is eating some and I have a small piece when I have the points.

I'm catching up on all the threads, so this will help keep it going.

I set my target weight at the beginning- I know roughly what that should look like physically, as that was my weight 10 years ago.

Not had one of those for ages!

Roast beef and veg.

Lost the weight I gained over Christmas plus a bit more, so just short of 1 stone lost since November 2012, one stone to go.

Mine isTuesdays

We have some electronic scales that can give you a weight in either kgs. lbs or stones- trouble is, if you do the maths conversion between each figure when done on the same day, the conversions are very different. i.e. don't tally up, so I stick to the pounds and hope they are consistent- never...

Roast chicken, without any skin, and veges

You're welcome.

Went up 2.5lbs over Christmas, doing my best to get that off again before Tuesday

1 ml of water is 1g, anything else is very likely to be different, lighter or heavier - a LEVEL teaspoon will be about 5 ml, so you could try that as your measure

I usually add a touch of vinegar to the water- got that from my mum, don't know really if it helps or hinders the process. 2 points? I think I see a poached egg coming for lunch one day.

125 ml (a glass) is 3 propoints

I would like to know that as well- would like to get one from local takeaway, but won't until I know- will be a treat.

I just use the standard cheese and cut down the amount- can't be bothered with looking for low low fat ones.

100g is 8 propoints according to ww site - you will need to weigh your slices to work it out.

Well done sparkle, that is brillaint.

As a male, i'm not sure what the dress size would be, but I think it would be 14 now from looking at the sizes- my best weight would be 10.5 stone, as I used to be that weight when younger, but to be realistic I have set 11.5 stone as my goal. If I am happy when I get there, then will go on to...

Not tried that but I will have a look next time.

The best range of weight loss per week I have seen written that seems sensible is between 0.5 pound and 2.5 pounds per week, any more per week is supposed to be to fast and could mean you will put it back on more quickly once you stop the diet. Mine has renaged so far from 4lbs to 1lb per week...

Unfortunately I injured my knee many years ago doing to much running, and so I can't do that anymore, hence the weight pile on over the years.

A friend advised to go online instead of the weekly meetings, to save money, especially if you do so for 3 months.So this is what I did, and you get given your pro-points values per day and a weekly allowance as well. You can also see what propoint values foods are or use the calculator to work...

Don't really eat between meals, but will have an apple if feeling a bit rumbly tumbled.

Using the same name I have on other forums- came from my old job, designing and making alcoholic drinks, so liquineer seemed appropiate.

Just getting used to the buying with OH- we are getting to know what we can buy and try and avoid a few things, like biscuits cakes and snacks!

Caught one programme the other day- the one with pies, indian and chinese meals- all looked good, would want to know the pp values though before attemting them all.

I don't think I could eat a whole pineapple in one go, to filling.

I have lost a Bald Eagle (Mind you so have the Americans!)

Hoping a Morrison will open up near us soon, they have applied for permission, so we will wait and see. Nearest one is 45 miles away - BooHoo

Sounds a yummy recipe- I would personally not have as much onion or peppers as they make me windier than I already am! And zero points, thats great!

I have been suffering from constipation to/hard to go when I do- I will try a few of the tips here and see how it improves. Started to take senokot already- drink lots of fluid though mostly in the form of tea- might switch to some to plain water. I did wonder about the lack of oil in diet and...
