OK, maybe cos it's XX stone and 12.5lbs, maybe there's a cut-off point lower than 12.5
I'm full of the cold so I'm struggling not to fill up on milky coffee and a big chocolate bar - normally they'd perk me up - have had 4 antiseptic lozenges, and they're nowhere near as warming as the coffee and chocolate, but I'm holding out so far, I'm determined not to let a little cold ruin this week.

I've only got about 8 weeks till I go into hospital for my little op, I'd really like to take a few points off my BMI before then.:o

worst thing about 'feed a cold', starve a fever, is you have to count the points in the lozenges

I've got a rotten cold too and must confess I did give in to the milky coffee earlier (still finished the day with 4 points saved though) and have eaten more/felt hungrier than usual. Took the kids to the beach earlier so hopefully burned a few calories off there.

ailuro2 have you tried working your points out manually again (think it's on page 4 of this thread) to see when it will change?

Just realised that I'm set to lose another point soon - poop! It's my birthday next month and I will change WW age bands so 1 point less

I've tried to find the points, but the only thing that comes up is a bag of fisherman's friends is one point - no rude jokes here please!!:rotfl:

I've points left over for today, and having recalculated using the thing on page 4, it's as I thought - I should have gone to 26 points from 27.(I know it sounds like a lot to some folk, but they do seem to get used up quickly!) so I can afford to leave the lozenges off - I'm guessing half to one point - there's no nutritional value on the packet, they're sugar free though, so would only be one point for four at most, I'm hoping!

NBirdy

The only thing I could see on there was Hall's Mentholyptus Sugar Free, and they're 1 point for the whole pack, so sounds like you're right. G'night!

Anoyone know when the new points get calculated when you become a new stone value...like going from 11st 1lb to 10st 13lb (I wish!!) , when does it become one point less on your daily allowance?

tia:D

That's a very apt question as it was just what I was going to post about. Had a good week but all started going wrong Fri night ... red wine, cheese (...I'd had a hard day!!) then went to a lunch party yesterday which I thought was going to be a buffet but was a sit down thing so I didn't have a choice about what I ate.

Had WI this morning and still lost 1lb. I went and typed it into my account and it said my point balance needed recalculating and i've gone from 22 to 19!!!! I was so shocked that's almost 2 glasses of wine!!

I'm just about to have a look on the recipe section to find low points ideas.

But you couldn't have lost 3 stone in a week, you must have put in a different level of activity, or a different age or height - afaik we only lose one point when it goes down a stone - see the post on page 4 NBirdy pointed me in the direction of

Sunday is a good day for being good - plenty of time to make some no points soup, and to make up a food plan to make sure you can go shopping and buy healthy food we need instead of a grab and run halfway through the week.

plzhelpmesave!

welcome morocho - hope you lose weight with us!
Had a not very good couple of day - looooooads of chocolate binges - BUT havenot started TOTM which is what I thought was making me crave chocolate - but hopefully for next month i'll know what is coming and be able to handle it better.

Gonna make sure i keep up with excercise routine as well as i normally feel lethargic when im on so will do what i can today and get back to the gym as normal tomorrow. there's a new bums and tums class at 10.30 tomorrow so will do that too - so that wil now be 3 classes a week if i can get to them all PLUS any gym stuff i do. Will try to add in 15-20 minutes of swimming when i can as well.

having porridge for brekkie today - have found l- lots of sachets in the cupboard so may as well use them up and make the most of their low points - although my weetabix does keep me regular!

Anyone used Alli or Lipbind? Just wondering whether it is worth adding a supplement like that to my new healthy eating and excercise to help speed up weight loss......?

NBirdy

Thanks for that plzehalpmesave! We've got a box of Oatso in the cupboard but I didn't realise it was only 2 points (+ milk) so that could be a good breakfast for next week

ailuro2

plzhelpmesave - I tried xenical,the prescription fuller strength version, I got the Dr to prescribe it for me - even tohugh I followed the diet recommendations rigorously I still had the worst side effects - I stopped it before I'd even done a month - orange oil is all I'm going to say!!:eek:

Much better to lose weight naturally, then we'll learn how to eat in moderation rather than putting up with horrible side effects and not eating much less.;)

If I'd lost 3 stone in a week I wouldn't care!!!!
According to the explanation on pg 4 I should be 21 points which I can manage. I didn't change anything it said click here to update your points and I did!
