Hiya!
Haven't been able to get online in days! But I've been good at staying within my points over the weekends, I did have a few treats but because I had points in the bank it evened out.
Had my first weight in and I've lost 3lbs in my first week
Feeling great.0 -

ya-what-now? wrote: »Aye, I actually pointed it up accurately the last time I made it and it's crazy low - the whole bag of quorn is 3.5 pts and the tin of Kidney Beans is 3.5/4pts depending on the brand!
Like for the amount you'll get out of that, it's loads!
If you're in a decent supermarket, there's also actually a Weight Watchers jar of chilli con carne sauce, which is quite nice. En general, I'm not really a fan of jarred sauces, some of the WW ones are dodgy, but I find that one alright - adds a bit more flavour!
It really is one of those dishes where you can't go too wrong so experiment away!
I made this last nite and it was gorgeous! I left out the kidney beans as I'm not fond of them but as a recipe this is great. I couldn't believe the amount that I got out of it as well, there was so much and all for 1 point per serving?!! I had it on a wrap with lettuce and philadelphia so the whole thing came to 4.5.. actually even less because i had budgeted for 2 wraps for dinner and was so full that I only needed one and only used half a serving of the mix yippee! Have it with me for lunch today Weigh in tonight, so fingers crossed it goes well
It also reminded me of another wrap I used to make as well, stir-fry some chicken, peppers, garlic, onion, (what ever you fancy really) and have it on a wrap with philadelphia,... Its lovely.0 -

Hi all
Just been for WI and a bit disappointed as I stayed the same.... It was my second week and she said as I lost a lot in the first week (6.5lbs) that this was probably the reason.... I guess it is but I would have liked to have lost a little to keep the motivation up as I had been very good this week.
You all seem very motivated on here so I thought I would share to get some encouragement to keep me on the straight and narrow 0 -
yeah, I'm the same - but I think keeping the 6.5 off in the second week is a major achievement (I don't count weight loss in first week, when it can be undone easily in the next week) - for weight loss I think it's keeping the weight off as much as losing it that's crucial.Hi all

And experts all saying 2lbs per week is the most sustainable weight loss....
You should be patting yourself on the back:)0 -
Down 5.5 lbs in my first WI
I stuck to 18 pts per day and walked or swam every night, sometimes both.
I am thrilled however my leader said not to take on 2 much 2 quick so gonna relax it a bit and see how 2nd WI goes.
Could this be the reason for the last 2 posters, 2 much 2 soon?
Main thing to do is keep the chin up !
We can do this!!0 -

Hey everyone, had my weigh in today and down 4.5lbs!!! I'm absolutely thrilled cos i had a pretty bad wknd but i think it evened out because I only lost 2 in the first week altho I shouldn't really say 'only' when it comes to weight loss!
Posting on here seems to really help, especially the food diary, all the ideas for recipes (check out ya-what-now's recipe for chili con carne, its yum, my new addiction and sooo low in points for a massive serving), and of course the encouragment from everyone is great! Really happy, had set myself a goal of 10lbs before Valentines day (not that i'll be doing anything for it being single haha) and i'm well on my way 0 -

first weigh in tonite down 4 lbs...really im delighted i worked hard an stuck to it but i couldnt say i felt deprived at any time. It'd be great to get 3 lbs next wk for the first half stone..but we'll see!
Im goin out at wknd with some girlfriends and i dont wanna blow the diet any suggestions on wat is best to drink to keep the points down?
Btw foundry..that pizza recipe looks good..are the small round pitta breads only 1 point each? i always thought they were more..
Well done, great result on first weigh in! I'm just .5lb off the half stone so will defo achieve it by next week. I used to make those pizza's as well but using a slice of bread. This one is actually less points as I think foundry means to just use one half of the pitta bread. I normally have a pitta bread for lunch and I know the ones I use are two, so just using one side of it would mean its just the one point. Unless foundry has found a pitta bread for 1 point? If so I would be delighted to know what make they are, always great to save points where you can!
In regard to drinking, a btl of bud light is 1.5. I tried to drink that this wknd, I normally drink bud, but found that i just didn't like the taste of it. I was drinking cans so maybe the btls are different? Really your best bet is a short, ie vodka with diet 7-up or diet coke, they're much less points than beer (my downfall

Aw lads and lassies. Lost a measly HALF pound on Thursday. Annoyed. Like it's grand, it's down... but I worked so hard!!!
really banging my head against a brick wall here like. Wish I could just get a 1/2 pounds loss get be back on the losing streak properly.
Cracked then today and had a brownie with the girls. Staying in points but that's not like me at all to go so far out and have something like that. I usually find a better option.
50 odd pounds later... this is getting seriously hard. I still have a little under 2 stone to go and here I am stuck.
Apologies for the rant.0 -

i feel your pain
i lost half a lb this week too and was not too impressed as i had worked hard last week too. im down 2stone and for goal on the WW scales im 4lbs away but i want to get another 12 13lbs before ill be happy. my leader reckons ive hit a plateau and suggested i reduce my points by .5pt a day so ive been trying that since tuesday ive been on 19.5pts a day. i reckon and am hoping that upping my exercise will help get me back losing again. went back to aquafit on wednesday and been doing the WII fit as well so with a bit of luck il get better results next tuesday morning!!
all i can say is stick with it. you have come sooo far and your sooo close now DO NOT GIVE IN!! you can get over this bump so keep it up;)
ergonmonics fair play to ya for sticking with it. that can be a killer to be up like that it just feels like a kick in the guts.keep with it im sure you will get back on track in no time!! your right to about the scales they really are just a number. your better off going by how you feel!!keep it up!0
