Sesame bagels (all different brands, nothing generic) seem to be 4 points, according to ww online. Plain bagels 3 points, seems heavy to cost an extra point just for a small amount of seeds. Hope this helps!

Thanks for that! x

Also has anyone got a nice recipe for home made tomato soup which is healthy and doesnt contain garlic? I really want to make some but normal recipes call for cream of some sort, which isnt very weight watching lol x

It is odd, but sesame seeds are so high in points! I made a stir fry recipe out of a magazine recently which called for a sprinkling of sesame seeds, and I was shocked when I worked out the points value. Dreadful!

It's funny how all these things that the media, supermarkets and health experts say are 'good for you', yet when you see the calorific values and hidden fat contents..it hardly seems worth it for the portion!

Seeds, beans and other healthy nibbles are loaded with points. Even though they may have health benefits, you really should only snack on them in moderation because they're loaded with natural fats and sugars boosting calories and it can be pretty shocking just how high in points these 'healthy foods' are :eek:

Hi All

Weighed in yesterday and although I only lost 1/2 lb it takes me into the 8stone category (8 stone 13.5lb). Woo hoo. I had hit the wall at 9 stone and have never been under it (apart form primary school ). Ok need to get to target now and get a lovely gold card. (no 94 on list)

Thanks for your support

It's mighty quiet in here of late..I can only presume this is due to the kid's summer holidays?

I've got my WI tomorrow, not looking forward to it really, even though I know I've eaten well. Hmm

But after my WI it's treat day for me - can't bloody wait!!

I did WW successfully a couple of years back but since then some of the weight has crept back on as I have limited control over what I eat. However for the next three weeks I am able to prepare every meal in a proper kitchen. I was planning to follow the fast start plan/recipes for the three weeks to try and get back in the right mind set and change the direction of my weight. Does anyone know if there would be any problem with this? Its an 18pt plan and technically I should have 20pts - but for three weeks would it matter as its really just to retrain myself on portion sizes and sensible foods.

Hey all got weighed this morning and im -1lb! and im chuffed with that as although I have been trying this week its gone a bit out of the window! (I cant seem to find me on the list???)

Ive got a meal out tonight so im not going to drink and im going to attempt to get a healthy(ish) meal.

you_wicked_gay I was shocked too about the bagels but as I had a pack of 5 in the cupboard ive had to eat them although will not be getting the seaseme ones again!

Im away for the weekend now with my boyfriend so will attempt not to go too overboard, mortgage shopping for our first home on Monday wahoo! x

Had my WI this morn - a big fat STS for me, so I'm still stuck at 10st 12lb

Getting me down now..I want to shift those 2lb that I put back on (that I lost after being ill for a week) HMMPH!

Must push harder next week eh!

HI All,

Well, OH and i have decided that tomorrow is our start weight weigh in.

We have ordered the books but they are waiting for us at the post office becuase they are too big for the letter box, so this week is just eating healthier in preperation and then next week its full steam ahead

Already have a zero points curry recipe so am all ready to start

Hope everyone is having a good week and fingers crossed for your weigh ins

Good luck Puzzles!

Weigh in yesterdays so-so, no loss, but as I had been bad (very bad, box of Thorntons:eek::eek:) and then trying to make good the damage , STS, still 79kg , am number 84 on list was as actually better than expected.

See you next week, hopefully back on track then.
