hi ,
does anyone know if there is an app for the android phones , i've tried several but they dont seem to calculate the points correctly compared to the wheel i got at the meetings
I downloaded one "pro points calculator" The icon looks like a cocktail glass with an orange sticking out of it. I find it quite good, especially for things that are say 1pp each but 3pp for two... and its free!
I got the Iwatcher app too... think it was a couple of cent, can't use the calculator on it though coz it seems to be the old points calculator (Kcal & Sat Fat) but its great for tracking and calculating activity pp.
I am going to be a complete disaster tomorrow. so much for me playing Florence Nightingale for my family, i ended up dying last night! The worst is definitely over but I have no appetite at all. Its now 1.15pm and I can't stomach anything. Brought a cup of soup with me, one that is 3pp rather than the 1pp one I usually have, and im going to get a plain ham sandwich for lunch and give them a lash. I don't want to mess up by not eating at all, especially not the day before WI. I wouldn't mind but my scales had me down 1.5/2lb this week already! AAAAAAAhhhhhhh NICKERS!!!!0 -

Weighed in this morning, am back to where I was two weeks ago 9.5lb to goal lol... Its getting kinda boring been up and down the whole time.. Good thing is I don't even feel like i'm on a diet any more this is just normal eating for me at this stage.
One thing I miss is going to the shop at lunch and getting cheese in my roll every day as i fill up with my ham and veggies i lust at the cheese hehe i just can not trust my eye to guess how many points of cheese id eat! I have nearly given butter up completely I just get a spoon of sweet chilli sauce instead now.
Making homemade burgers and chips tonight for 10pp I can even imagine spending the 30 or 40pp I used to on a takeaway anymore! Its funny I used to have Chinese 3 times a week now I can count on one hand how many i have had in nearly 9 months! I do have the occasional KFC but that's all point-able which I love
We have our first weekend with no plans in ages this weekend so hope to chillax a bit were moving house May 11th so will have to start prep for that any advice? Think I will move the kitchen stuff first so there is no excuse for rubbishy food for the first few days which always happens.
~Just giggling at how much rubbish I just typed that no one else is going to want to read but it really helps me to get my taughts on it all down here.. best of luck for the week lads! 0 -

I really enjoyed your post gave me a bit of motivation. I am in the middle of house moving and finding it hard to stay on track when everything is packed away so be careful and plan! Pack the scales last and keep out one bowl and plate that you know your portions sizes.0 -

I'm in the same boat! I was stuck in a rut a few week backs weight-wise so I stirred things up a bit and that seemed to move me on a bit. I'm about half a stone away from goal and I'm finding it difficult to even get a 1lb loss at this point! I lost 1.5lb 3 weeks ago, another 1.5lb 2 weeks ago, was down 1lb last week and stayed the same this week so I've kind of hit that plateau where it just doesn't want to go! I know I could stay at this weight if I wanted and it'd be within my BMI but I just want to lose that little bit more! SO.... A bunch of people at my meeting last night told us that they had the very same problem, at wits end, had tried everything, didn't know what to do, then gave F&H a go (even though they too were terrified of it, afraid they'd eat too much etc) and lost from 1lb to 2lb the weeks that they did it, finally losing weight after weeks of STS or putting on weight. So I've decided to have some faith in myself and give F&H a go for the entire week! Fingers crossed the change will help, I'll let ye know how I get on next week!
In relation to your own thoughts, its like that for a lot of people on here, in fact a lot of people describe their whole day in points on here almost on a daily basis. Its a great place to let it all out 0 -

Same here 1pp each. Forgot that the tiramisu ones would have coffee in them, yuck! Are the banoffee ones nice?
I really wanted to get those yoghurts because I have been searching for 1 or 2PP (preferably 1PP) yoghurts with no fruit bits (HATE BITS) but I hate coffee also so I am not going to waste my money on them
Anyone know any nice 1PP yoghurts (not WW, sick of them) that have no fruit bits? 0 -

I buy the pots of muller light and get the guts of 2 portions out of them for 1pp per portion. They are 165g in weight which in total would be 3pp but I have tiny sealable tubs for sauces and the like and usually weigh out about 75/80g into them which comes in at 1 pp. I find that a nice portion to go on top of a massive bowl of chopped fruit! They have some really yummy flavours, all the same points - strawberry, vanilla with choc bits, vanilla and mint with choc bits, banana and custard, rhubarb, raspberry.... I find them great!
Heres what they look like! http://www.ocado.com/catalog/images-hires/15677011_H.jpg?identifier=d3f5e9e78b4eff50303cc34a8bd9fa200 -
