Totally if I don't have all my usual suspects that I use on a daily basis I would panic and struggle. Thats why I find myself buying extra of all those things, porridge squash etc. Always have the presses stacked of the healthy stuff. All fruit at the mo seems to be going off real quick though :mad:

Our leader said tonight that there are 10 more weigh in's until next bank holiday, halloween. Good mini goal if you aim for a pound a week. 10 pounds. DO IT!!

I haven't used my weeklies at all since I began and could only manage to lose a pound a week. So this week I aimed to use them to see if it made a difference. I only managed to use 22 and lost .5lb?? My leader said thats good now eat more. I don't get it. When I didn't eat weeklies I lost more. Any thoughts peeps?? Thanks in advance.

yeah I always buy it in bulk....all my bulk just kinda ran out at this week! Just didnt have money to "stock up" lately...and dont get me started....10 euro in strawberries chucked out last week....2 days and they were covered in fuzz....i'm spoilage freak....tiniest bit and i'm not touching it....but these were COVERED!

Right....for the next week gotta REALLY focus on theory test....been doing....pretty okay i think with it My sims addiction is back in full swing! Oi! Just ordered Sims 3....but not opening it until after My theory test...and I lose at least 1lb! haha! Lose 1lb then I can play! haha!

Lady Lainey that's the first time I've heard that for motivation. It's like rewarding a child, ha!! Yea I know what you mean, I thought pay day would never come this week. I was having beans on toast for lunch all last week. On the upside though it's low in pp has carbs and protein so was well satisfied.

Guys I was feeling totally retro tonight so made semolina....I know! It was almost like my Ma had made it for me 1pp per 10g so 20g was loads. Used milk from daily allowance. Had with warm strawberries....yum

Hey everyone! Im new to WW and had my first WI last night. I wasnt expecting much cos i've been sick all week and had a mini-pigout on Fri and Sat .. but i did loose 300g (im in NZ so work in KG's)

Love all the support from this thread, i'll defo be trying to keep up with ye

Hi, i'm new to this board, i have just joined ww 3 weeks ago, but i'm not sure how to calculate activity point. I currently weigh 10st 13lbs and do a spinning class that is about 55 mins long with a 10min warm up and 5min warm down, how many activity points would i get for that, i have worked it out as 5?

Thanks in advance

The skinny mocha, they're Necafe, there in dunnes, tesco, supervalu, 3 euro 50! feck off my coffee addiction aint that bad....i just cant be arsed making real coffee in the morning even tho i have decent coffee mocha beans...

I got the 220g tub of Options banoffee hot chocolate in dunnes...its so expensive...i'm making sure i weight out the freaking 11g!

I dont like tea...and too much caffine messus up my sleep....i have noticed last few days...my sleeping is ALOT better since switching to hot chocolate...and if i want a soft drink i now drink sprite zero instead of diet coke

I can never find them anywhere apart from Sainsburys

The Skinny cappucinos are 1pp per sachet, you get 11 in it I think and they might be slightly cheaper if thats any good to you?

awwww feck i keep forgetting there 1pp tooo....but u know what....it'll do me no harm to lay off the caffine a bit! i know i'll be guzzling the stuff once im back at college!

Edit - Tesco online have them BOGOF at the mo!

took me a while to figure out what BOGOF meant LOL

Handy, considering I need to a big "stocking up" shop....non perishable stuff

Down a lb yesterday. I was slightly disappointed as it's only cancelling out last weeks lb gain. But I stepped on my scales this morning and I was 11st9lbs which was my first time being that

I'm going out for dinner tomorrow to TGIs and was wondering does anyone know any dishes offhand that might not be too bad. I'll have most of my daily's and all my weeklies. And I'll be going for a very long walk today and tomorrow!

OBHOB do you have the pack? The activity points and how to calculate them are in the purple book. Generally if in doubt I go for medium intensity! Spinning would generally be high intensity.

here's a list of some of their foods:

rib eye steak and chips - 34pp's
jack daniels chicken 37pp's
southwest burger - 55pp's
bbq burger - 53pp's
classic cheeseburger - 44pp's
double stacked bacon cheeseburger - 77pp's
chicken fingers - 36pp's
sizzling chicken - 38pp's
wicked chicken - 33pp's
grilled chicken sandwich - 30pp's
sizxling fajita & chicken 29pp's
sizzling vege fajita - 25pp's
cajun chicken penne - 30pp's
spicy diablo pasta - 18pp's
bbq chicken salad 21pp's
chicken caesar salad - 24pp's
j.d salmon salad 20pp's
" SHRIMP SALAD 17pp's


i looooove the bruschetta it's all i go there for, but it was 12 points, i can only imagine the propoints, all that bread

jesus christ 77 pp for a burger!!! :O shocking!!

considering you have all of your weeklies and most of your dailies, there area couple of ok things i suppose, the steak or fajitas or the chicken sandwich (i have had it before and it's delish, and i wasn't dieting at the time), though that seems to be without the chips. You have to treat yourself once in a while and should be able to stay within your weeklies if you're happy enough to use them all at once. Enjoy, my mouth is watering here i think i'll have to take a trip myself!!! :pac:

Whoa! Serious points there. Thank goodness there's not a TGI anywhere near me cos I love the sound of some of their stuff!

WI this eve, ref my own scales and the one in the warehouse at work !!!! I have cancelled out the 6 1/2 pound gain last week, will be very interesting to see what the WW scales says. Did WI in the AM before I left for work , my home scales weighs 4 pounds lighter than the WW scales and it was showing me at 13st 9lbs - bless it!!!! Anyway time will tell!!!

Hoping to get back to walking from saturday as my rib is so much better now!!!

Thanks for that ld2011. Not sure what to have but I had a low point lunch and fruit for breakfast so I still have the majority of my dailies so damage won't be too bad for something that is 30pps!

Lainy unfortunately I can't go somewhere else because it's a girls birthday and it's a big group so I don't really get a say. I did think about not eating but that just leads to bitching so that's not an option either. I'm also trying to fit WW into my life and not my life into WW so I'm determined to get something reasonable, tasty and within my points

Maybe you could get a side of salad as well without dressing and load up your plate with that?? Also I sometimes order fajitas and only have one of the wraps and then eat the rest with the salad which is just as nice. And also as hard as it (and maybe crazy talk here) but just cos your in a restaurant and your out doesn't mean you have to finish everything on your plate. TGI's normally do BIG portions so 'if' (I use it losely) you can stop when your full it would keep you in some control and damage limitation......
