Hey Das Kitty, once you get goal you dont have to pay as long as you stay within 5 pounds of your goal weight at a time ! losing weight on it isn't a problem, as long as its healthy! Good luck to you, I was goal for a year and christmas/ college weight boosted me back up 10 pounds :eek: so aiming to be back to goal by summer
For everyone else, just read about a fabb cravies kicker on this really great lifestyle blog called the londoner! If you freeze banana slices, whiz them up in a blender and add your choice of flavour eg cinamon and vanilla, or a heaped tbsp of choc powder for 2 or perhaps maple syrup for 2 then you get a delicious frozen dessert really similar to ice cream! add some chopped strawberries, blackberries or pineapple top and it can be a really healthy dessert or alternative to a smoothie if you dont want to waste extra points on a yogurt!
I'm trying it tonight and fingers crossed it goes well :PHope everyone's WIs go as planned this week! trying my first ever F&H day today and have to say I've really noticed the difference
not nearly as much cravies or tummy rumbles 
xxxxxx
Would you mind posting examples of what you ate today, I want to try a F&H day because I find myself not being full enough sometimes on my 26pp, but I'm afraid to try it for fear of going ott!0 -

Cheers - thought it was too low, so thank you
(Incidentally - it is one of those 'Chicken Breast Platter Meal's from aldi, feel flu-ey all day and wanted something asap that wasn't a takeaway. Can't believe it's 9 pps - some of the Weight Watchers Frozen ready meals are 9pps! - And this has way more in it) :cool:0 -
Lost 2 and a half lbs this week! I'm happy with that because I was really good this week. I didn't drink any alcohol and pointed all the sweet things I had on Mother's day so I was really hoping for a loss. Only 2lbs to go to hit 2 stone loss since January 17th! Really want to try hard this week to make that goal, but TOTM is lurking around the corner so I'll just have to hope for the best. Well done everyone on the losses! 0

It sure is! Protein/Carb/Full Fat/Protein. If thats what your doing that's right. Are you using the wheel (grrr it drove me mad for the first week) After that I bought the calculator which was great but more often I use the iWatcher app on the phone0 -

No, MaggieMay - I use an app on the phone called 'Foodcalc' - Just thought it was wrong as I had figured 13/14, or more, in my head! 0 -

Had a bigger bowl of cereal than usual for breakfast, and a rice crispie square and hot chocolate for break. My head is just melted. I am expecting a definite gain tonight, and am hoping its only a pound or 2. Its like i need a slap in the face or something to get me back into it. 16lbs since jan and i dont want it to go back on!
Girls, i'm the same but felt too ashamed to post. Was very bold at the weekend and also can't get properly back on track. Tiny, you are like my twin, I too had a cereal this morning and didn't weigh it like I usually do and had a packet of tayto for afternoon break instead of usually a WW bar or fruit
I have also sent myself into a downward spiral of depression after stepping on my home scales. Showing a gain of 3lb. If it's not fluid retention and I see that number at WI on Thursday, I will be so upset. It's taken me 7 weeks to lose 7.5lb so gaining 3lb almost makes it not even worth while. It makes me think, why do I bother, working so hard and then going out at the weekend (which inevitably is going to happen at least once a month, I can't/don't want to become a hermit just because I want to lose weight) and then ending up back at square one. 0 -

Just a heads up if anybody is in the Swords area there is a shop called JC's and they do a lot of the WW food including the frozen chips / pizza's and loads of frozen desserts and meals.
They used to do ww chocolate digestives which were a 1pp per biscuit but they have not been in for a while
Does anywhere still do the cheese / sausages / ham and rasers? Dunnes used to stock a lot of the ww food but not anymore it would appear?0 -

you could be right about that Taz, haven't been on propoints for too long and just read about the F&H days recently and thought I'd try to give it ago! yes I do think you're right about not counting up the points but wouldn't trust myself honestly :P for me i was just trying to eat mainly (as far as possible!) of the highlighted F&H foods in the book and see if it would make a difference to the hunger as some days i feel a bit deprived when i've used up all my dailies and amn't satisfied! If you do find out anymore info on them please post here as sounds like a positive way of thinking for long term results 0

Note to self: ALWAYS go to the WI. I was praying for a STS this week as my scales was showing +1 and +2 over the last couple of days but miracle of miracles I was -1.5 today!!! Only .5lb to go to next silver seven Must be extra good this week though in case the weekend tries to catch up with me!Thanks a million for that EveMT, thats really interesting!
I thought with filling and healthy days ya dont count points
at all as long as its F&H and if ya have somethin thats not
F&H ya take it from your weeklies, for e.g. the jelly tots, no?
We covered F&H days in the ww meeting this eve and your right - no points for F&H foods and use your weeklies for anything else you eat on an F&H day. I still haven't plucked up the courage to try it but your menu looked really good EveMT!0 -

Nice one JudyD its such a great feeling.
I would definitely recommend to everyone to always go to your meeting, leaders defo understand that there are wks that we're gonna be up, my leader reckons that the wk we contemplate about goin or not is the wk we need our meeting the most. It gives you the motivation to keep goin.
Ok lecture over.
Back on the ww bus again today and it felt good not to have that bloated and sluggish feeling I've had over the last few days.
Advice needed please, can someone tell me how they point danone activia fat free yogurts, I've always thought 2pp but a work colleague points at 1pp as her leader said the 125g pot would realistically work out at 1.25 pp - round it to the nearest pp therefore = 1. Would love to know your take on it my pp are precious!
Thanks in advance0 -
Well done on the losses.. it pays to go to the meeting puts you in a better frame of mind for the following week!! Iv missed last two weeks due to hols and im dying to go back sat.. to see if theres any sort of change!!
I was wondering if anyone knows the pp for natural confectionary jellies/ haribo tangfastics.. I love jellies and i seem to guess alot of the time. but i bought a digital scales and now i can weigh my own portion and not feel deprived yay
Thanks in advance!0 -

Our leader said last week that there was 18 points in a bag of natural confectionary jellies- I don't know which variety, but I'd suspect they'll all be similar/the same. There's a bag of haribo starmix in my food press that someone brought one evening weeks and weeks ago. I pointed them one night at 9 pp per 100 g. Think it's a 250g bag, so needless to say, it went back in the press unopened!!. I don't know about tangfastics, but they'd probably be similar...0 -

just home from my first weigh in and i lost 2pound, im a little disappointed with that but there again i have been eating a lot of normal bread so will try cutting that out or switching to danish this week.
good luck every 1 else
ps oh lost 3 and she got a silver seven
Well done tubbydave!!! 2lb down... thats brilliant!!! especially seen as you are eating normal bread.... I hate the WW bread... can't abide it at all... the Hovis Nimble is better for the same pp... or look for low value wraps. Also I found that the hot dog rolls.... We have bundys here (not sure if they are available in scotland, i know i couldn't find them when i lived in glasgow... ) these hot dog rolls are only 4pp... they are soooo nice and sweet and yummy!!! Or the burger buns in Aldi are only 3pp... Im such a wagon for bread so i go mental pointing in that aisle of the supermarket...The app on my phone came back with 8- I don't have my wheel thingy at the moment to double check!
my calculator said 8.8.... you must have the same one as me... mine is Pro Points calculator that has a little cocktail icon on the fone....0
