Yaay - I'm 4.5 lbs off 3 stone too.
Some great losses here - well done everyone. And to those who gained - draw a line under it (like Monife - with a cheeky chipper! Love it!:p) and move on to this week.
Good luck to all.....0 -

Woo hoo
Just in from my first WI and down 5 pounds, so chuffed, so loving the pro points and those 49 weeklies that allowed me to have a few drinks, a pack of crisps and a couple of chocolates! Happy day!
Thanks to everyone here who's been so inspirational!0 -

Well done, Caros, great result for your first week.
I 'thumbsed up' a few posts to say well done to all the losers. Great weight loss again this week.
I was actually down a lb last night. Cldn't believe it, was really expecting to see +2 or 3. Really think it was the pasta for lunch that put me up the week before, so I feel like I've STS for two weeks. Delighted!
Last nights class was brilliant! Our usual leader was on holidays, but the lesson was all about refocusing your mind. It was like she had read my posts here yesterday. She talked about spring cleaning and used cleaning products like finish (what will finish off your weight loss i.e. hinder it), pledge (pledge a new, achievable goal), mr muscle (he won't help with weight loss unfortunately, but symbolised that hard work that has to go into losing weight), bold washing powder etc etc. She had a sweeping brush and asked what did we need to brush up on...things we were really good with at the start, but had let slip.
I thought it was genius. Everytime I walked through my utility last night and seen all the cleaning products, I was thinking about what I needed to do.
@Bubaloo and Lady Lainy...I'll have great company in the 3 stone club. I'm hoping to achieve mine by June Bank Holiday weekend now, that's roughly 1lb a week. Shld be doable, fingers crossed.0 -

Wow mcb81! ten pounds - fair play to you! fantastic loss!!!
Does anyone know the propoints per raw weight of monkfish/scallops please??? Had some in the freezer and wanted to do something tasty with them tonight.
The WW book says 2PP for 100g of raw scallops - no mention of monkfish though.
Bon Apetit! 0 -

In spite of my rant earlier about not wanting to be up, I haven't exactly behaved myself at work today. Normally on WI day, I eat normally up to lunch time after which I might have a yogurt at 3pm but don't eat anything substantial until after my WI at 7pm.
So far today, I have had:
30g Porridge,
0.25l Slimline milk
2 bananas,
Some blueberries & grapes
1 diet yogurt
1 bowl spicy lentil soup
3 S&V rice cakes
1 low low cheese triangle
1 fairy cake
I've only eaten 5pp more than I would normally but feel like I might have blown it, all because I made fairy cakes last night and brought them to work where I hoped they'd be devoured but I caved in and had one at 12 with a cup of tea! Do you think this will show on the scales? My losses have been getting smaller and smaller the nearer I get to goal, I really want to see a loss tonight:(:( 0 -
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to this thread. Decided to join WW on Tues. I joined it a few years ago and successfully lost about 20lbs to get past goal...but over the years I have regained those 20lbs...plus about 2 stone more. Eeek!
To get into the healthy BMI range in the ww book I need to lose about 3 stone. Yikes!
Anyway...I was hoping you might be able to help me point some foods/drinks?
I am still getting used to the new points system, so am unsure which foods are the best choices at times.
Would anyone be able to point the following for me pretty please:
- 330ml bottle of Coors Light
- 500ml can of Coors Light
- what are the lowest pro point crisps and snacks?
- are tangle twisters still really low, or are there better alternatives?
It probably sounds like I am just worried about junk food, but that isn't the case at all. I find it easy enough to choose low point foods for lunch and dinner etc. It's just when I get to a shop and am peckish and am with friends who want to get an ice-cream, I'd like to be prepared by knowing the best "bad" choices, if that makes sense?
Any other "bad" foods that are reasonable enough in ProPoints?
I'm thinking of making the Fritata from the WW book today. Anyone tried it before?
Sorry for all the q's!
I'm hoping to be on here alot, as reading all the posts is great motivation.
Here's to week one!0 -

For anyone stuck in a rut or looking to get their weight loss going again, my leader gave us a different option last night. For a week you don't use your daily points at all. Instead for your 3 main meals you just have the healthy filling foods that are marked green in your folder. Then if you want anything else on top of that you use your weekly points for it.
I'm gonna give it a try when my exams are over. Don't have time now to plan meals. It should be only done on a once off basis every so often when you need a kick!
I'm not sure I get this - are you still pointing your main meals? Because everyones meals are different pp, for instance my main meals might only add up to 20pp per day, but someone elses could be 35pp a day! And then using weeklies on top of it? I must be missing something, I'm slow on the uptake sometimes

Welcome to the thread. Try and read the posts as often as you can, great source of motivation and help.
Bottle of coors light is 4PP.
Twisters and Loop the Loop's are 2PP.
Velvet crunch, skips (from multipack), snax (from mulitpack) and meanies (from multipack) are 2PP.
Salt and Vinegar snack a jacks (from multipack) are 2PP and the larger singular ones are 3PP.
Don't know the PP in the cans sorry, but I would assume you could work it out based on the PP for the bottles and a bit of mathematical work.
Don't worry about the amount you have to lose, I have lost 3 stone in 6 months (I know not a lot in the amount of time but happy with it) and I still have 5 stone 8lbs to lose to get to goal. Just think of mini goals, which I think all of us on here do. One silver seven at a time or a bigger goal of the first stone and the next one after that.
Good luck.0 -

No you don't point your main meals. You just use the healthy filling foods. But you need to make sure that the foods you are using are definitely the healthy filling foods that are highlighted in green in the book.
Then for any snacks or anything else you eat/drink you use your weekly points.
Last night was the first time I heard of this but I think its supposed to have a similar effect to the fast start week on the old plan.0 -
