I'll have to decide on the rest of today's food/exercise later. I missed my yoga class last night, and slept in a weird position (face down with arms overhead) so I've all sorts of aches and pains.

Hate this, when I'm tense I sleep in a funny shape and my do I pay for it.


That sounds like an unusual but nice breakfast!!!

Good morning


Thank you for a shiny new thread shala I'm in for the new challenge for sure; please could I have a target of 8lb for the 8 weeks Although hoping to smash that.


Weigh in tonight and I am feeling slightly more hopeful. At least a 1lb is what I'm hoping for; that will then be my starting weight for the challenge. If it's 1.5lb then that would mean that if I lose my 8lb in the challenge the final weigh in would take me in to the next stone bracket down.


I have been thinking this morning. I have a pair of New Look denim shorts which I last wore a few weeks after finding out I was pregnant (in 2012:eek: ) I would love to be able to fit back in them by the time we are due to go on our familymoon (21 weeks time) at an average loss of 1lb per week I shouldn't be too far off that. If I lost 1.5 a week then I'd probably smash it.


Think once I need to go on an adventure with soups and try some new combinations for work as I have been enjoying a hot lunch some days

Morning all

Still cold... but the sun is out.

I'm currently tracking in SW and WW and WW are down on carbs a LOT. e.g. a medium baked potato is 7 points, and a chicken breast is 2, veg is mostly 0. I have 30 daily points so carbs would make a big dent. I tend to stick to getting lots of speed foods as those are mostly zero points.

Do WW still do the 'Filling and Healthy' plan? I tried it for a while, there were lots of free foods you could have, some of them surprising, like skimmed milk, bread, shredded wheat - foods that are limited and have to be measured on SW. The only problem is finding things to have with them that aren't high in points as you only get 7 per day and they don't last long.

I love soup and often make a big potful that makes enough for lunch for a couple of days. My favourite is minestrone and it's very quick and easy to make. Trim the fat from 2 rashers of bacon, chop it and fry in Frylight with a chopped onion until the onion is softened. Add frozen mixed vegetables (about half a bag), a tin of chopped tomatoes, 2 stock cubes, some tomato puree or passata and a handful of soup pasta (or broken up spaghetti). Bring it all to the boil then simmer until the pasta is tender.

Off for lunch now - see you later.

ETA p.s. I left out water - about a pint, or enough to make it the consistency you want.

Yes, they do, it's referred to as "No Count", has various "free" foods and 35 points per week above that. I find that on a day where I would maybe use 28-30 point (full daily allowance, but not using any of the weekly points) if I use the "no count plan" it ends up eating into the weekly points. Items like spread, muller light and quavers I can fit into the daily amount, but they aren't free, so instantly appear in the weekly points in no count.
