Hey girls- have you ever debated the whole carbs vs calories issue?
I often try to cut my carbs- (bread mainly or spuds), i just made six low carb pancakes with almond flour and one egg, xylitol, skimmed milk and porridge oats........... feckin delishus but i am dreading putting the points together for it..... would you rate a lower carb but higher in good fats dish or condemn it to points purgatory? its something i struggle with....
*sorry if my post is a bit nonsensical.... i am real tired today!
You could try them without the almonds, the egg, porridge and xyilitol are all low points anyway, what I do is blend egg, porridge and soya milk, add cinnamon, xyilotil, mix and leave overnight and cook the next day like crumpets
:D I threw in some blueberies when cooking too - fab:D Low carb and low points!! Or is you want try chickpea flour (gram flour), havnt made them but will report back! 0 -

Well done Pink Bottle, that's a fantastic start. Jojoc123, fingers crossed for next week for you. Ryaner, I noticed that the men in my class apart from 1 don't say much. If you feel you're not getting support from your group try a Men Only group and see what you think.
I'm very surprised at the lack of support for you in your group. We're all in the same boat trying to get to goal.
Pembily well done your loss I forgot to mention in my last post, sorry

Having a tough time of it at the moment but the weight loss went well this week at least! Lost 2 pounds on Thursday! Was delighted!
Total loss now is 68 pounds (48 at WW). Next seven is one pounds away so heading for that as my next mini goal! Then the 50 pounds certificate! My mum managed to get that on Thursday!
Congrats on all the losses!

Hi guys, have loved reading this thread. I started weight watchers 3 weeks ago lost 2lbs my first week and lost 4lbs on wednesday. So i'm happy so far but i've a long way to go. My problem is trying to fit in exercise during the week as I commute to work. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Well Done Sparkydee!! I joined WW 2 weeks ago, and so far I have lost 2.5lbs. Hopefully I'll have lost more this week, it was kinda a crazy week in the Uni!! But I have the same problem as you do for excerise, I'm just trying to put aside an hr in the evening to go to the gym/pool. It is hard sometimes with the amount of course work I try to do but in the end it will all be worthwhile!! 0 -

ladies and gents, I normally stick to my own thread within the food diary section, but come in here at times..........mostly when I need a funt up the backside..........this is one of those times, I seem to have become more comfortable eating the foods that god me to 16 stone 4.5 pounds..........I arranged for a chocolate cake to be made for my Mum for Mother's Day but to be fair, I seem to have eaten most of it............so can someone please give me a bollocking cos I feel like I'm slipping slowly but surely back into the old habits - I'm also on a week off work, so my routine is out the window at the moment and I don't want to go back for my next weigh in being a few pounds up........
Ok what's done is done. Whatever damage you have done can be undone. You obviously don't want to slip backwards or you wouldn't have come on here. Well done for that, it's very brave. So you need to decide you are going to get back on track right now. Not tomorrow because there is still time to do more damage tonight and you won't do that right!!
Plan out now what you are going to eat tomorrow, get out a pen and piece of paper and start tracking what you are eating. I assume your on WW, so get tracking and stick to those points.
Having a week off work means yes your out of routine but it gives you more time to prepare nice low points meals, like soups and salads. So get out your Fast start and have a look at what you fancy.
Also it gives you more time for exercise, so start undoing some of the damage by getting out for a walk/run/swim whatever you do tomorrow and for the rest of the week before weigh in.
Track, drink water and exercise are my key tips.
I know how easy it is to slip backwards (have a look at the first post in my food diary and you will see what I mean. ) But all you have to do is think about the weight you have lost and how you don't want to undo all that hard work. Also think of how much happier you are when eating healthy and loosing weight rather than being miserable when eating junk.
You can do it. It's obvious you want to so best of luck. Keep us posted. We're here to help. ( I hope that wasn't a bollocking ) 0 -

Hi cjd
Firstly well done on the weightloss... you have done so well and obviously have lots of skills and tools that you have learnt to have got so far... I am sure you can put this bad day behind you and get back on track.
I am just starting out with the weightloss and have a lot to lose. I have enjoyed reading all your sucess stories and even appreciate the honesty of you still being able to talk about how hard it can be. You are inspiration to us.
We are all rooting for you and look forward to hearing you get to goal.
Maybe on your week off you will have time to get more walks in and as previously said get cooking low point receipes to get back on track.
Good luck and keep us posted 0 -

Well I finally bit the bullet and got back to a meeting. As I gusessed I'm half a stone over my goal weight, tho my personal goal is 10lbs. I treated myself to a lovely little notebook that I can stick in my bag, so i don;t have to pull out a tracker
so its back to basics. Best of luck to everyone this week. 0 -

Hey guys and girls i've never posted here but i am doing WW since mid Dec and have lost 1stone 7lbs upto last Thurs. I am on my last 4lbs to my goal weight. Fingers crossed i'll be 10stone by start of April latest.
Have found WW the only diet to work that you stick to and you are not starving yourself of vital foods.
I just have one question i'm a villain for jellies and have been avoiding them but last week lidl were doing 1kg of jellies for 2e and couldn't resist buying them but i don't know how to point them as there is no cal or sats listed on the container. Can anyone give me a rough idea even?
Best of luck to everyone on their journey, its well worth it

Jellies can be lethal as they are full of sugar, they are generally no fat but loads of calories. I'd do my best to resist them if I were you. Or maybe divide them up in to small portions for a treat. I know it's hard to resist what u love though. But maybe just have a look at another pack of jellies that has calories and you may think twice about opening them Damn packages without calories etc lull you in to a false sense of security! 0 -
