    Hello everyone...
    Please may I join as well? I'm at uni so it's a bit hard to weight myself, but my goal weight is 11 1/2 stone, so I imagine I have about 3 to go (eek). I've joined online as I don't think i'd feel comfortable going in public. I find I keep going over, and it's definitely because of dinner times. I need to sort that out! It's fine when I cook cos I specifically choose something low points wise, but I live with boys and we all share the cooking, so they don't really get the concept of 'girl food' although I do get a girl sized portion!

    Most boys like stir fry. Why don't you do a stir fry next time it's your turn to cook? Toss some chicken in some chinese five spice and then stir fry it with loads of veggy sticks and bean sprouts.

    Wellll i just signed up to WW online and i am confused!! Whats the best way to search for foods? I'm trying to add what i plan to eat tomorrow to see what my points are like and it's so confusing. It's taking forever and like i said 1 portion of WW yoghurt for breakfast and one the pot it says 1 point but my tracker says 1/2 point... i am confused!

    you will find quiet often that online it will say 1 point but when you add it to your tracker it will be 0.5 so maybe thats what is happening with your yoghurt . or try putting in the nutritional information in the pannel on the left of your screen and see what that says .

    Feeling hungry tonight but have kept busy on the macbook, so stopped me from going stairs. Yay! Not sure I will buy curly wurlys for a bit, they are just too nice and I want them morning and night!

    Today I have eaten/drank:

    Breakfast:

    Shreaddies 35g = 2.5 points
    Skimmed milk 1 pint = 3 points

    Mid morning snack:

    Apple = 0.5 points
    Apple juice = 1 points
    squares crisps = 1.5 points

    Lunch:

    Weight Watchers chicken noodle soup = 0.5 points
    Curly wurly = 2 points


    Dinner:

    Asda chicken korma = 7 points

    Curly wurly x2 = 4 points

    2 litres of water.


    = 22 points. Over by 2 :( But have done a lot of walking about today so hope that might help.

    Just thought I'd report in with my WI for this week - I lost 1lb. :)

    Better than I thought as I assumed I'd was going to sts but the 1lb loss will do me, especially after losing 3lb last week. I need to definately get into exercise and get my 'Claire's 5 Step Fat Attack' dvd back out to do :D

    Mexican Friday today in our house. Nomnomnom. Pointed my 4 tacos with mince, onions, peppers, jalapenos, salsa and sour cream at 16pts *death* BUT it's my treat day so blow it! ^_^

    (To make matters worse..my g/f just came home from uni with a cinnamon swirl and a tub full of pic'n'mix strawberries for me as a 'treat' as I was feeling down this morning..aww..but ohhh poinnnnnts lol)


    Well done on the weight loss!
