I've double checked using other websites to get nutrition data, and it's definitely 7 .5 for a measly toffee apple. I just thought it was a bit of sugar coating the apple, but turns out it's butter and LOTS of sugar.
Oh dear, will definitely be dragging DD out for a long walk tomorrow night.:o

it would depend on what the toffee part was made of - tbh shop bought toffee apples tend to be covered in just red sugar (similar to the stuff rock dummies are made from), rather than the traditional caramel toffee - so you may find the points are actually lower than you think

just checked and a stick of rock is only 4.5pts, so i would say the sugar on a toffee apple would be 2pts tops + the apple

will experiment tomorrow, with making my own sugar based ones, to see how many tsp of sugar it takes to cover one apple - seeing as they are a necessity at this time of year

ailuro2 - what about Christmas Eve as the last day of the challenge? With a follow-up WI on 2 January ha ha ha !!!!

I am now home and very tired, so shall catch up with you all tomorrow. I ate quite a lot of crap on the journey home, but am hoping to start afresh with the good stuff.

Goodnight xoxo

plzhelpmesave!

welcome back properly tara! now go get some sleep!

HOW MANY POINTS??? Haven't had a toffee apple for years, was supposed to make some with kids this week but may leave it in case I succumb and eat one!

Rotherham - weetabix cake is a butter & egg free cake made of ..... weetabix! got the recipe from old style board i think - just did a search in forums. Was lovelly and even better at only a point a slice - although my slices were big!

Didnt make it to the gym again today.... half term and all that! but did have a made housework hour and was sweating loads at the end of it!

I also had an informal job interview today and GOT THE JOB! So will be working one day a week at one job and 16 hours flexible working in new job - really excited about the work and future prospects.

So good things come to all those who do WeightWatchers!!

Taking the kids out tomorrow so will try to build in some walking time - in fact I may even take them on the bus or train if we get up early enough!

I'll have to be really good for the rest of the week, that's all.:mad:

GoodLuck in your new job, plzhelpmesave.

My last weigh in will have to be on the 19th of December, we travel to Edinburgh then to fly to Orlando the next day.:j:j:j so I don't mind when the last day is. No intentions of weighing in on 4th January when we come home. I might leave it a few days, just to get rid of the water retention I get when flying.:rotfl:

Hi everyone!

just been having a quick catch up and you all are doing really well :T

I have lots of catching up to do... I haven't really been following WW the last week or so, but big bro had his appointment yesterday and everything looks like it's going to be ok! :j

So I can rejoin you all on the thread and get focused again!! WW put my points down to 21 on Friday when I weighed in too!!

Thanks for the encouragement everybody, must admit this thread helps keep me focussed :smileyhea

Oh, and I used to make that cake with tea-soaked raisins years ago on Slimming World, and it's actually very nice, no taste of tea at all.
