Thats great news about your little girl,our first lad who is 4 has down syndrome and we just had another little lad, the relief when he got a clean bill of health was amazing.

there actually exactly the same as the old system. even the text to describe them on the ww site is the same text as the old sytem. its the stress and effort it puts on your body....exactly same as old sytem like its walking on treadmill i do, so 60 mins walking old system 6pt and 60 mins new system 6pp

but with the new system....activity doesnt count for as much as in the old sytem over all...cos ppl are eating extra now that fruit is 0pp and with the weeklies.... i

activity is just a bonus...adds to my health my fitness and inch loss...its eating right is more important....not just eating weeklies for the sake of blowing them...but spending them on nutritious healthy food cos your actually hungery and require the food!

[Lady Lainy]

Can anyone recommend a pizza thats low in points?.. Maybe they don't exist

What I do for my lunch somedays is get a pitta, cut it in half, put a little bit of tomato puree, some cheese (weighed and pointed of course!!), a little bit of pesto, onion and then I chop up a mini pepperami (only 1 point!) and put it on the top. Stick it under the grill until the cheese is melted and you will get a yummy pizza. Of course it's only the size of a pitta bread but you have two because it was cut in half, load up on salad and eat it with a knife and fork and you have a lovely lunch!! Of course you can use any type of topping you want, my mum uses ham and my leader uses bacon medallions!

It went good. I think I found "the dress". It's €875 though without alterations and veil etc but my mam said she will pay for it Some of the shops we went to were awful and the size 18 wouldnt even fit but the shop I found the dress in had a great selection

WI tonight! Have had a really good week, or at least I feel like it's a really good week. I limited the amount of bananas down to 1 for the whole week , limited the amount of treats I had, tried to eat healthier and more filling foods during the day and also earned 21pp in activity points. Haven't used all my weeklies either So everyone, cross fingers and toes for me that I will be down!

Have a lovely dinner lined up for tonight - Ostrich Steak and BNS Chips! Might have some normal chips too cos the Ostrich Steak is only 5pp for 200grams!

Had my wi last night and was down 2.5lbs, was so delighted. Didn't think I had lost anything as had a sneaky check on my own scales and they weren't showing anything. So 9.5lbs gone, want to get to my first stone before my holiday in 4 weeks so I think that's doable , fingers crossed anyway!

I also tried cous cous for the first time at home last night and I loved it! I used half a vegetable stock cube, a pinch of chilli powder and a pinch of fenugreek with it and it was delicious . Mixed loads of veg in with it then, it was so filling that I could only eat half so I have the other half for my lunch today, it is definitely going to be my new go to thing for dinners!

[Baby75]

Gem you gave me some hope! well done!

I have my WI this morning had a sneaky one when I got up and its not showing any thing either so we shall see later I guess

[fofany]

Well done everyone on all the great losses I've been reading about.

Monife, glad the dress search went well. I remember getting mine (nearly 12 years ago now) & it's still hanging in the wardrobe! I tried it on recently, just to see if I could get back into it - and I could.

[flamelily]

morning all I have my WI today and my scales this morning weren't looking good but tis TOTM so feeling bloated and bleh am hoping for STS at least but will see.......

Great news on your little girl Aspie Mom, it is always soooo hard when you are waiting for assessments!!! Thanks for the info on the pizza have seen those bases and never pointed them. I love pizza, but avoid it cause its points heavy never thought to make my own toppings ..... so now tonites shopping list includes wraps, couscous and pizza bases this thread really is the dogs pyjamas!!!!

delighted that you found your dress Monife some wedding dress shops can be super-snooty and dress sizes well dodgy which is annoying!!! but then again dress sizes in ireland are annoying no two shops seem to carry the same size plan!!! I am now a 14 in some shops but still a 16 elsewhere

Even more fustrating when it is the same shop! Was in Penny's the other day, tried on one skirt in a size 10 (), then another in a size 12 and the 10 fitted grand but the 12, I really had to suck in to get the zip up! Ok so the 10 had an elastic waistband but still the 12 should have been bigger! I'm normally a size 12, but I so bought the size 10 skirt just because I fit into it I have NEVER fit into a size 10 in my life!

Hi All.
haven't been posting for a while but I had to get the word out.
I nearly collasped with shock. One of the gold members in my class decided to point a scone from her local cafe. It wasn't a particulary big scone sort of medium sized. It worked work at 20 propoints.

5 propoints per 50 g and this weighed 200g ie 20 propoints.
