Hello all, I started Weight Watchers today (well, counting in points, since I can't afford the actual meetings). I'm at my heaviest weight ever - 13 1/2 -14 st depending whose scales you ask. :cry:
I've been a pretty terrible 'yoyo' dieter I suppose, I'd stick to a 1200 calorie diet for 2 months, lose 1 1/2 stone and then pile it back on and more when I went back to my binge attitude.
I tried to get back on track with 1200 calories and I kept shaking and getting really dizzy so I spoke to my doctor and she more or less recommended I ditch the calorie counting (and slight obsessing) for a more leniant plan, so here I am!
Might aswell get stuck in with my food diary then - please let me know if I'm doing this wrong:-
Breakfast:
Porridge (40g) and Milk (200ml) = 5 pts.
Lunch: Tesco value fisherman's pie = 4 pts.
One clementine and approx. 5 strawberries = 1 pt
Snack: Ryvita Limbos crisps = 1 pt
Dinner:
Chicken = 4 pts
3 Tbsp Coleslaw = 3pts
1/2 average sized potato = 2pts
15 grams Flora extra light butter = 1 pt
1/6 of a tub of Asda GFY soft cheese = 1pt
Salad = handful of lettuce and rocket and 5 cherry tomatoes (came out as 0 pts, not sure if this is right?)
Snack: Weight watchers yogurt = 1/2 pt
Total = 22 1/2 pts
