ProPoints Livi has loads to lose!

[livi]

Well, I bit the bullet and went to my first meeting last night. This makes today the FIRST DAY ON PROPOINTS!
I'm pretty excited!

So, I probably should give a little info about myself. I'm Olivia, 23 and doing a psychology degree with Open University and engaged to a lovely bloke called Ian
Having struggled with my weight for most of my life (early teens) I've tried pretty much every diet going, but propoints is now the way forward! I was a member of slimming world for a year before this with very little impact so here I am :sigh:

I have 45 daily points which seems an awful lot but I'm sure I'll get used to it and get my head round it

It'd be really nice to get some firm friends on here how have at least 7st to lose like me

Todays food

• fruit and fibre cereal 30g - 3pp
• low fat supernoodles batchelors 300g - 8pp
• banana - 0pp
• half pint of semi skimmed milk (in cereal and several coffees) - 4pp

This leaves me with 30pps left for the day and I have no idea about dinner... I'm pretty sure I'll struggle to use them all!

Welcome Livi. The very best of luck to you this wk . I know 45 points seems a lot but try use them daily cos as you will see from other posts on here you might not lose if you dont. Sorry to sound negative. Its a great forum and you will get amazing support and loads of tips. Good luck x

I'm just a bit stuck as to what to do for main meals. Do I use a lot of ww ready meals or carry on cooking from scratch myself and just weigh and measure to control my portions?! Am I just being thick? lol x

I always keep a ww meal in the freezer for emergencies but generally cook from scratch. That way i can eat what i like once i point it and dont feel like im deprived of anything. See what works best for you x x
