Hi guys what is the best low fat butter to use?

I use Flora light. I think it's 1pp for 10g.

Plus one for the flora light. I find its better than other butters for cooking as well.

Louloubaby - welcome to the thread. Don't be embarrassed about being a WW, we all started the same and you should be very proud of yourself for making this decision for you! Sounds like you're getting into the swing of it. When I started, making sure to faithfully weigh my food and record what I was eating really helped me to make good decisions and learn where I am likely to gorge on bread and cheese (about eleven o clock in the morning and also at eleven o clock at night!!). Best of luck, come hang out with us here, it really helps, particularly on days where it's a little bit harder.

Cavangal - congrats on the 5k! Great feeling to get there, isn't it? It's such a shame the manky weather is disincentivising getting out there, though it's also disincentivising icecream, pint of bulmers and barbeques, so you win some lose some ;-).

Tiny - I'm just trialling your flapjacks too (they're in the oven). I'm using maple syrup (just to be contrary as it's my favourite) - I'll let you know how I get on. I will admit I licked the spoon and the mix is YUM!

Duffy - Sorry to hear you're feeling bloated. I find drinking more water helps when I feel that way - if you're worried though maybe talk to your doctor, just to put your mind at ease.

Shellybelly and Purplepawprints - so glad to hear that your week is going well - I'm trying very hard here to have a very good one and the inspiration is very welcome.

Hey everyone I went away last week to France and had a active,refreshing holiday and I was sooo nervous about the scales today but because of my good doings on my bicycle I managed a 2 1/2 lb loss....I got my second silver 7 today and I have to say the motivation I got from it was unreal I realized I can still live and be a healthy gal so Thank you WW for making me feel this way and keeping me going

Hello! Congrats on your 2nd silver 7! I got my 2nd one yesterday and have 6.5lbs to go to goal. I was just wondering if you were on an organised activity type holiday as I'm thinking of going on something similar later in the year... I'm getting addicted to the endorphin high with exercise
Thanks

Hello all!
Does anyone know a good app for training from 10k to half marathon? I've used ones for couch to 5k and then another for bridging to 10k and love the support of it.
Thanks in advance

Foxxykate - Hal Higdon's programme was recommended to me - he has several for different levels. I'm starting the programme on Monday, but it looks quite sensible to me.

Had to hide Tiny's delicious flapjack's in a tin up on the high press - the maple syrup worked really well but there's some taste of more off them! Great recipe - nearly too nice :-)

I'm the same. One post a week and I generally post after weighing in but I think I might do one tonight so that'll be 2 this week.

I know you mentioned your feature in the RTE Guide but just after having a look at it there on your blog, you look absolutely beautiful!

Hi,

Can I ask is has the Pro U been given out at this weeks or last weeks class?

Thanks

Down 2lbs tonight. Not quite what I wanted but still happy. Our meeting was so good tonight. It was about identifying our weakness in relation to Weight Watchers and making an effort to change them this week. I'm going to avoid all fizzy drinks as I think the carbonation is causing bloating so it'll be a double plus if I manage it!

Well done great loss! and a very good challenge to set yourself for the coming week

Today is my biggest challenge of the week, breakfast out with work AND lunch out with work! Hoping i can keep it to eggs and coffee for breakfast. Lunch is at a yum cha restaurant which serves dumpings Asian style so hoping i can get some steamed ones and maybe some san choi bao as its yummy

Have a great weekend everyone

Hi guys, Back again (like me name!!) Have missed meetings due to work commitments but hope to get to one next week. I paln to get cooking over the weekend as it really helps when I'm organised. Does anyone know the points for a full can of kidney beans and borlotti beans. The purple book only shows it for a small amount and I'm not sure that when I calculate up if I'm accurate enough. Please help. I find looking at all your posts really helpful btw!!

Shellybelly - I've a class reunion dinner this evening and I'm ferry concerned re what I"m going to have. The place we're going has a vegetarian option that changes daily so I can't plan - if it's not suitable, I'm just going to have to get a boring salad with the dressing on the side...

CavanGal

Down 3/4 lb! Thank goodness! I have been STS now for weeks since I took up running so I think it may be the swelling and cramps from a new exercise and some water retention. I am so motivated for next week now. And I also know my scales aren't broken.

I made Caramel Squares last night for bakeathon in work today. I went with full fat butter in the end to make sure they tasted nice but I cut some of them quite small so that I can have one. I also made Tiny's flapjacks for only 2pp each and I tried one last night. YUM! I will definitely make them again as they are sweet and filling.

My OH is away for the weekend and I am stony broke so it will be a challenge not to sit in and gorge. I have made a to do list like sorting my wardrobe (I hope to throw out some clothes which are now too big and fit into some which used to be too small), cleaning the apartment, going for a run. I have a wild weekend ahead of me

Onwards and downwards!

Hey!

i was going to say even steak with vegetables if possible but i assume your vegetarian doh! :-\ if you eat fish maybe try out that option or maybe if they do anything like an omelette maybe if you don't fancy salad!

My lunch worked out at 22pp! was very enjoyable and didn't feel sickly full afterwards! i basically got the pp from Googling the nutritional info for each dumpling and adding them up its the most accurate i can be unfortunately! but i have my weeklies so well covered!

Enjoy your dinner out :-)

Day 3 of Operation Fifth Silver 7 is going well

LouLouBaby

Think I'm doing well feeling really good today I haven't gone outside of my points or used my any of my weeklies yet and I have managed to have really filling meals and still have a cuppa and a little treat in the evening which is great :-).
Going to treat myself in the morning to the mushrooms in Philadelphia and toast recipe but I'm going to add some some bacon to it yummy
