    just looking through peoples weights and points allocations, and noticed that some people are allowed more points than me, even though they weigh less, is this normal?

    I think it depends on how much you have to lose and what your lifestyle is e.g if you spend all day sitting down you will have less points than someone on the go all day even though you weigh the same.

    Quidco were giveing £30 off but up until Sunday it was £29.85 to join (so free) but I believe its gone up by £10 now, so you still get it for £10.

    Ah, I see!! Sadly WW 3 month package is now £49.95 (or there abouts), still a very good bargain at £19.95 for 3 months!! I wish Topcashback was also £30 cashback as I prefer them (the don't charge an annual fee)!!!

    lexuslass my youngest is a May 08 baby too, and I'm still firmly blaming my excess weight on the all-day sickness I had with both my kids (only eased if I was eating :() hehe. It's much harder to shift after kids isn't it, plus I do love my carbs :o

    1.5 points for a banana!!! :eek:

    I wish I could just find a list of zero point, low point and filling foods that I could print - instead of having to look them up in categories. Anyone able to help?

    I'm a carb monster too lexuslass, mostly sugar! :( I've stepped away from the Nutella, will be having a teeny dinner with some herbal tea and going to bed early if I get hungry! lol

    I've signed up too (I'm one of the lucky ones who get's 5p for joining), so count me in...I'll PM you my weight though , if that's OK, too many people I know in the real world know this is my username,

    BUT...... you can publish it at the end of the three months, how's that sound for an incentive for me to do well?:p

    I'm also the heaviest on this thread, with a massive 27 points a day to spend.

    I've joined the wonderful half pound challenges before, but a month was just too long for me to go between pats on the back!
