You need to eat 26 if that's your allowance. 12 is dangerously low.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking eating less means losing more. Using more points doesn't necessarily mean eating more

What kind of things have you eaten the past few days

I know its jut because i had just came off SW and was use to eating a lot of fruit and little meals but iv tried to have my allowance but everything seems to be low in points ha! Really finding it hard to get all them in? Does it matter what you eat daily as long as you stick within your points

You can eat what you want so long as it's in your allowance - it's great lol

All seems too good to be true haha but if I eat anything an still lose weight this will e amazing haha thanks for your help xx

Skip the WW meal. If you want a ready meal get Asda or Tesco own brand. Slightly higher in points. Swap to semi skimmed milk. Have 'proper' crisps instead of Quavers. If you combined all 3 of those you could easily use another 4 points but you're not really eating any more

Haha! You are brilliant thank you so much

I've just changed from SW to WW and I'm having no trouble using my 26 points!
I've been eating similar foods but I've been using olive oil on my salads and to cook or roast veg in. Also been having avocado and nuts and seeds too. Trying to get more of the healthy oils I never used to have on SW, and not using my points on crisps/choc.

I have been very much enjoying seeded bread instead of diet bread and a larger portion of cereal that I'm used to.

I've been a bit hungry so goodness knows how hungry you are eating so few points. I may be wrong, but I thought you had to have a minimum of 26pp a day and only the weekly pp's were optional?
