According to ww.co.uk 80g is 4pp - medium is 155g and 9pp
thanks for that
Love avo and 4pp for 80g isn't as bad as I thought!!!
tis my WI tonite, so toosties crossed the scales are nice.....I have had a good week and managed to do 3 walks so am hoping the scales reflect this!!! can't have a snaeky peek cause my scales died on me last week and I haven't replaced them yet!!!
KC83, you will get there, you just gotta take 1 pound at a time....set a series of small targets and you will get there goal by goal.....I find it easier to look at it that way rather than the total amout I want / need to lose!!! at the moment its getting my first silver 7!!! you will get there and feel fab when you head off on your hols.....where in SA are you going if you don't mind me asking???
oh the M&S mocha sounds yum but at 10pp :eek: I am sort of glad there isn't one near me!!!!0 -

Great news Jackmax I was the same yesterday a total starvin marvin. I think it was because it was so cold! Fortunately/ unfortunately this happened in work, I'm out at a clients in an industrial estate with the nearest shop a 15min drive away so I couldn't exactly leave so had to make do with what I had with me! Which was a banana & 2 squares of dark choc @ 10.30 & a cheese & tomato sandwich on Hovis nimble & an apple at 1. By 1.30 I was still hungry & had zero to eat so when I got home at 5.30 I had a bowl of fruit salad ( which I'd forgotten to bring for lunch!) & 1 slice of nimble toasted. Then I had dinner of chicken stirfry which I'd to bulk out with extra veg so that I wouldn't pick all evening!
We all get days like that I'm just glad they're rare!
Well done on all the losses everyone & anyone who STS or was up don't lose heart you will get there! Slow & steady wins the race!0 -

Hi All!
First WI yesterday eve and down 2lb! happy with that.
The next week i'm going to introduce the excerise see if that helps but totm creeping in this week so fingers crossed.
Just regarding the water - should you stop drinking water heading towards WI time? Does drinking water close to WI affect it. I just have this idea in my head which could be nonsense! Anyone any ideas?
I drink 3 litres of water a day but on Tuesdays i found i was drinking none because of weight in! Then last week i realised i was going a day without water because of it! So i drank 2 litres before lunch on the day of my weigh in. The first week i did it i only lost 0.5lb but then this week i lost 2lb. I just think if it is something you do the same every week then it shouldn't affect you! It might just make a little difference the first week! Hope that all makes sense!!!

Just read this article & wanted to share it :
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1390988/Want-shed-pounds-Go-Weight-Watchers-GP.html
Interesting article, thanks for sharing.
It was good to read the comments and see two WW'ers who had lost weight and kept it off. Hope for us all 0 -

Wow 3 litres! I trying to get through 3 pints and struggling at that, end up feeling like a water balloon. Suppose i should keep trying to drink it.0 -

Thanks for that....I hope so!!!I just cant seem to get under the eleven stone mark. I could be 11.05 and put up half instead of losing!!!
Im flying to Cape town, then no idea from there!!!Going for 3 weeks....I must book hotels soon though!! Have you ever been and like to give me advice or tips???0 -

Yeah well i have a 1L Volvic water bottle that i fill from the water machine in work. I find it easy enough to drink it when i am sitting at my desk! I only get in 2 litres at the weekend though. I find it harder then! I gave up diet coke 3 weeks ago, was addicted to that! Feel much better now for drinking the water! 0 -

Thanks for that, I have never been a patient person but I will get there
On another note just back from wi and I am down 1lb so all good. 2.5 away from my 2nd silver seven and 9 from goal...
Good luck everyone that has wi's coming and well done to all the losses0 -

just back from WI, down 1.5lb, little disappointed as was hoping for more but its still down and I'm now just under my previous WW lowest, and 2lb away from first stone. gonna try and be super good this week so i can get my stone before friends wedding next week which has been my target from first WI.
saying that there's a cake afternoon at work today. will have a small bit of whatever looks the best choice... I guess merange is prob best? have been good so far on points today so small slice should fit within dailies.
actually - any advice to avoid bloating etc? the dress I bought for the wedding is very figure hugging - I want the weight loss to be noticed!!! but want to be sure i'm looking as best as possible on the day - so guess drink lots of water and avoid bread/pasta (anything else?) for day or two before hand? thanks in advance!0 -

Right will give this a try. 2 pints down so far today, will try for 2 more before i finish work.
Then this 2 this eve. I'll be docked money on wages for toilet breaks over the next few days! 0 -

I have been to SA a few times, mostly the Durban area and was in Cape Town a few years ago with my DH. Its really beautiful, defo go up table mountain, do Robin Island (great day tour), and do a tour of the vineyards if you like wine there are loads of boat tours etc from the Wharf which is a nice place to spend the day as well. We hired a car and sort of drove around exploring. We stayed in Self Catering cottages in one of the Bays just outside the city and that was brilliant....eating out was really cheap and the food was really good!!!
we went to Sun City as well (short plane ride) and stayed in the national park beside it which was also brilliant!!! saw loads of animals and it was great craic.....Sun City is something to see as well....sort of Vegas with an African twist!!!0 -

Fibre! you can get soluble fibre you mix into water...i say health shop or chemist would have it..dont know what its called...but yes... plenty of water....avoid bread/pasta.
Soups and smoothies, liquid foods means food isnt sitting in your stomach/intestines waiting to pass. so gases aren't forming and making you bloat. but make sure your getting your protein...with soup add some slices of roast chicken...dip the chicken like its bread! and avoid salty foods. 0 -

I am pretty new to this being only in my third week of Weightwatchers but today for some reason I am in a bit of a slump and am having a pretty bad day foodwise. So, I have a question for the more experienced at this than me? Should i write this day off and start afresh tomorrow? Do others have these kind of days? Thanks:)
Don't write your day off! If you say that out loud you will allow yourself to do more and more damage. Write off whats past and move forward. There are plenty of hours left in the day so try to limit the damage to whats already done.
We all have 'blow out' days where things just don't seem worth it but its a temporary state of mind and you will get past it. Set yourself a new mini goal and a realistic time frame and work towards it! You can do it. 0 -

Thanks for that, that makes plenty of sense. No point making a bad situation even worse!0 -

Well done Aspie Mum thats a great result!
Lainy I gave up using lasagne sheets and I replace them with sliced aubergine. Its a lovely texture and cooks really well! You could use any veg really, corgettes work well too. Just slice and layer instead of pasta?
I'm milling the water the last ocuple of days, and I havta say, its getting easier now that I have it in my head that this is why I'm not seeing a loss:Pfingers crossed it yields a result!0 -

Why is everyone so hungry this week? i have been starving for the last 3 days ,this evening i had a huge chicken stir-fry with loads of veg and brown rice and bang an hour later and the stomach is falling out of me with the hunger.
I have been very tempted by the choc chip cookies in the press for the last hour.Well done to everyone on the weight loss this week 0 -
had my WI this evening and I am down 2 pounds delighted as I reached my first mini goal as well as I got my first silver 7 :cool::cool: so next goal is my 5%
me was also a hungry horse this week but I think it cause I wasn't drinking enough water. when I felt hungry I would have a small glass of water and wait and see......I found that I was actually more thirsty than hungry cause the hungry sensation went away and didn't return!!!!
way to go ASPIE MUM that is just awesome!!!!!
Lainey with lasagne I tend to just use one layer of pasta now and do another layer using cougettes like one of the other posters mentioned. I also added grated carrot to my mince, it bulks it up so I use less mince and it cooks to the same texture, so you don't notice it and I use heaps of garlic and herbs (I am a bit of a garlic fiend!!)0 -
