Well done every1!! Something to jazz up chicken:

On the chicken fillet put a small spoon of philadelphia light (garlic and chive) then on that a small spoon of ballymaloo relish (sorry about the spelling!!) then a sprinkle of bread crumbs for a bit of crunch! Serve with veg and a small portion of spuds, really delish for 10pp!!

Hi girls, just read through all 66 pages :eek

you are all great for the tips & motivation!

I joined WW this day last week so I have a weigh in tonight!
I joined originally 9 years ago & I lost 2 & a half stone but was still a stone away to goal & becoming a Gold member. I got close a few times but got fed up & gave up! Since then I maintained the same weight & then in Dec 09 I had a baby boy. In April 10 I joined WW again & lost a stone & a half got down to the weight I was before getting pregnant but still didnt reach goal.
So now here I am, still the same weight as when I left WW all those years ago but the difference this time is that I am determined to get to goal! Loving the pro points system, had a great week so here's to the weigh in tonight! :o)ll

Hi guys Well done to all of you on your weight loss. I am hitting into my third week of weight watchers. The first week i lost 4 pounds and was so motivated. the second week i increased my exercise to 2/3 times a day and lost 1 pound. I was a bit disappointed with that. This is now my third week and i was sick a few days so i have not tracked what i ate. On my first week i culdnt stay for the meeting but my leader told me to read the books and it explains everything. I am just wondering how you are working the point system. Are you using you 29 a day AND the 49 points a week. I am a bit unsure of this. I am using my daily points but not using all my weekly points. So far this week ive lost nothing and put on a pound but i have not exercised much this week as i was ill. I am desperate to loose the weight as i am gettin married on 1st June 2012. Any help/ tips / advice would be much appreciated. :xox

Got weighed in last night & lost 6lb, yipppee, I'm so happy! And I only exercised two nights last week so this week will have to get out more.

Lezah252 I am only doing it a week so can't really advise you much but this week I didnt touch my weekly allowance. I suppose on the first week you're always gonna be super good! Shouldnt really have an effect on your weight loss though whether you use them or not!

Question, anyone know how many pro points in a Go Ahead Yogurt break bar, strawberry?

workinggal · by **workinggal** » Wed Sep 07, 2022 2:15 pm

hey tinyfeet, are these the bars with 2 slices? if so each slice is 2 points as far as i know. O-O

tinyfeet · by **tinyfeet** » Wed Sep 07, 2022 3:11 pm

Thanks mrswoods! Ya 2 slices in a packet. I tried to work it out on the points wheel and it came out at 2 so I must be doing it right! I thought it was a very complicated yoke to begin with!

workinggal · by **workinggal** » Wed Sep 07, 2022 3:35 pm

you should buy the points calculator tinyfeet. its great. think its only a tenner at your meeting. i wouldnt of lasted without it . O-O

tinyfeet · by **tinyfeet** » Wed Sep 07, 2022 3:51 pm

Was looking at that last night but didnt have the cash on me. Do you find it good ya? Might purchase one next week! How does it work exactly?

workinggal · by **workinggal** » Thu Sep 08, 2022 5:00 pm

Hi Tinyfeet,
yep i find the calculator great .i defo suggest you buy it. You just need to input the nutrition details and it tell you how many points really easy to use.its great for shopping. i spend ages shopping as i point everythig that goes in my tolley. my boyfriend does be going mad. O:|

you can also use it to track your points .

Best of luck with your WI , O-O

Hey Ladies,
I had an awful week in that I was sick as a pack of dogs but on the bright side I lost 2.5lbs as a result so im now up to 20.5 lbs and delighted!! I still have another stone to go and by God its slow but at least its going in the right direction!!!

Tiny Feet you definately need the calculator - I do nothing but give out about that wheel thingy it drove me demented!!!!!! O:|

The calculator is really easy to use you literally just type the values into it and it tells you the propoints!!!

Lezah252 I use my 29 daily and anything over comes out of my 49 the only thing I don't spend is my activity points. I try to only use half the 49 but I was away on holidays for 3 weeks and used every last one of them and still managed to lose 1.5lbs so it does work!!!!
