I've never tired. Think its just egg whites and sugar tho?

Also, new find if you fancy a change from meragnues, someone mentioned these little flan bases at my meeting.
I found a pack of 6 in tesco for 1.29. They are 2 points each, had with low fat creme fraiche (1 pp) and some berries, really delicious and thought I was having a "proper" dessert.

Had my WI tonight and I was down 3lbs! I'm so happy as I really didn't think it would be that much.

Now down 21.5 lbs and got my third silver seven tonight Hoping to get down into the 11st mark next week I haven't been there in about three years!!

Well done on everyone else's losses

Up 1lb tonight at wi :mad: totm so hopefully will show next week as had a good week :rolleyes:

Down 2lbs tonight so only half a pound away from my 10% was a bit disappointed because I had been hoping to get it tonight but actually think I might have been under-eating last week. Ah well still 2lbs is great and will definitely get there next week!

So is the pea soup 5pp for the lot, I had 2 bowls out of it, and left the second for my husband.. Should I only count 2.5 points for the portion I had??? Or 3???

The whole lot is 5. I counted my half as 3 , in the spirit of rounding up and all that! No doubt I'll redeem the half point somewhere else!

Thank you Caros;) that means I've 11 pps left for today... That's a lot but I'm full now.. Am I sabotaging myself by leaving that many dailies??

Hey everyone!

Me and my friend started WeightWatchers tonight. Really motivated but one thing Im not sure of is our target weight. Nothing like this was mentioned?
Did someone forget or is it just not done?
Thanks! Will be an interesting week

good luck they normally wait on till you have a good bit lost before setting a goal you will have your 7 pound goal then 5% and then10%

can someone tell me how to point a portion of avocado??? I know the book says its 8pp for a 'medium' one but I always find that my idea of medium often is vastly different from theirs??? I ate an 80g portion last night but am not sure what points to give it

According to ww.co.uk 80g is 4pp - medium is 155g and 9pp

Well, I hope they're all the same, but that's Lyle's Lyle's Golden Syrup on ww.co.uk

I just realised 9 weeks til my hol to S Africa!! I really need to shed this weight, 2 stone in the last yr!! Im sickened Feb last yr I was competing in duathlons and races.....ugh I feel soooo fed up tonight.
I was doing well all day... 10pts between breakfast and lunch as knew was going out for dinner tonight. I had no starter, I had pasta carbonara(not great menu) 18pp and no dessert as I had a ww lemon cake when I came home!!! I just feel soooo down as I started this diet thing before xmas but only rejoined ww about 3 weeks ago cuz I knew I couldnt do it on my own as Ive no friends or family up here with me to support me.
I lost 5.5lbs first 2 weeks,up 1 this week.
SO MUCH TO LOSE SO LITTLE TIME!!!
Feel like having a cry!!Sorry for my rant.....just feel like I have nobody else to rant too at the moment

yeah the M&S ones are higher cos they make the mocha by melting down squares of chocolate instead of using coco powder...they are insanely devine!

you done great the first two weeks and you will have the pound gone before you know it and more just keep at it, your still 4 and a half pounds lighter than you were two weeks ago! that means something! if you lose a pound to 2 pound that's 9 pounds or double that 18 gone in 9 weeks
I know how hard it is being in a new place knowing no one! I moved from Dublin to Australia and then back home then moved to Carlow, I still have friends at home but have more acquaintances here LOL I have my DH parents and they are lovely but not the same as my sisters and mum.

going to the meeting might be just what you need get you out chatting to like minded people
