Newbie, help!

[Littleslimmingbee]

I've just joined ww online..

And i'm finding it completely daunting. I cant seem to find a basic guide.. i've been given my daily allowance (33pts - i'm nursing) and set my targets etc.. but I can't find a page with basic advise as to what i should be aiming to have, basic breafast/lunch/dinner suggestions (im seeing some day plans but not just big lists in groups?)


can anyone direct me, give me some tips.. any meal ideas?


Im a slimmingworld girl but feeling like its time to change, so i'm trying not to compare the two or think of sw in terms of food etc.. but im panicing now that ive gotten myself into something really complicated!!

Theres the recipe bit - where the 4 circles are tracker/weight chart/ something/then recipes?

I've not got it up but they have recipes there - I've only ever look at the dinner ones though so not sure what the breakfast/lunch suggestion is like.

Tbh I don't make alot of WW recipes I just adapt what I eat

For breakfast I have the belvita breakfast bars/bran flakes/ready brek/toast & peanut butter/crumpets if im in a rush or if I have time I do a full english with grilled mushrooms & tomatoes, bacon medallions, eggs and brown sauce.

For lunch I do wraps with tuna/salmon and I use Warburtons Wraps to make toasties, wraps or pizzas. I also eat the So Glorious Skinny Soups and have a WW ready meal if I dont have much time!

For dinner I have jacket potatoes, mini kievs and homemade chips and sometimes even a chinese takeaway
I also like the chicago town mini pizzas- theyre 13pp for a 4 cheese one.

I work shifts and this plan fits completely into my life so much better. If I can help anymore just let me know, sorry for waffling!!!!

Also, I agree with Kimbowee, I sometimes use the WW recipes if Im going to make something like Spag Bol/Macaroni Cheese etc but I generally fit the points around my general life!

Thanks girls- Trefoil, i recognize you also!

i've measured out 35g of oats this morning, 100mls of semi skimmed milk and topped the rest with water.. i counted 4.5pp? is this ok? .. ww was a bit of an impromptu decision so i'm stocked for a sw week but just going to work around it and get exploring different things next week. Feeling well out of my comfort zone! x

I did we online last year and I remember that in the food part you could make a list of your favourite/most used food items and simply click on them to fill your tracker in. The list has all food items with their pro points values. Hope this helps.
