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 before weigh in though so probably won't get through them ask just in case it effects weigh in.
That makes sense Hules. I must admit I changed the day when my weekly points started so I could have a little blow out with saved points if I wanted on the day of my weigh-in. Then I'd have the whole week to work it off if necessary. That said I've never done it yet and have been so chuffed with my losses that I haven't wanted to ruin it!!!
I will be ladies from bank holiday that Monday
I'm currently on a meal replacement diet to shift some stubborn lbs. im a proud owner of a calculator vintage style plan from eBay...
Well done on your losses too. Xx

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 though I do get a rough idea about how much of something I can have after a while for my points and can do it by eye or by counting (i.e. 10 grapes= about ½ point). They're just cheap digital scales.
How has it gone so far on the meal replacement journey? Has it been working for you?

Morning Hules. Well done on your loss today. You wanted 2 off didn't you?! Don't forget to update your challenge.
Honey-J. I'm like Jules. I do use my kitchen scales a lot in conjunction with the 'Shop' book and calculator. Things like pasta, cereal, chicken, potatoes, grapes all need to be weighed out. It's amazing how much a portion can be overestimated. Like you I did meal replacement but I couldn't cope with the excrutiating constipation. I'm glad I've gone back to vintage Ww as the losses are steady and I'm learning portion control at the same time.

hi all, i am returning to the boards having put 4 stone of the 9 stone I originally lost back on. This is the only eating plan that works for me so I am digging out the old books and starting again. So pleased that there are still other people who follow the old plan!
Looking forward to posting more on here and getting to know all of you!

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.
How's it going Danders hun?

Morning!
I'm fine. Lost 0.75 lbs this morning which is just crashing me into the 11s!!! Whilst I'm very happy with that, I am conscious that I've cheated a little to achieve this as I have weighed-in first thing rather than my usual evening weigh-in. However, TOTM is threatening and I am a bit of a carb monster at the moment, despite sticking within my points. So hopefully next week I'll have a 'truer' loss. But as I'm so stressed about my exam, I'm just going to accept this little tweaking of the figures!!!!
I am so chuffed that I've stuck to it whilst revising as normally I'd be munching to get me through the stress and boredom of revision. So I could easily be 12.75 lbs ON at this stage, rather than off.
How's everyone else getting on?
