    Anyone using WeightWatchers, this is a useful link and useful website guiding you through their points system as well as other helpful hints. I lost 3 stone on WW - you can do it!! :T

    well, i've tried the 'bangers and hash' from the new SW magazine and yeah yummy :D - OH said i can do that more often :T (and deadeasy - only 15min!!!)

    oh consultant - a question to sw please?! mix and match: that's when i go eg. green for lunch and red for dinner; is there a limit to foods i have to look out for? - if i had stuffed potatos (with no red foods) for lunch and that 'bangers&hash' for dinner (with no green food) - that's allright, right? thanks :)


    happy losing everyone :j

  • Evening all :hello:

    not had a bad day today :D been really busy in work so absolutely no time to think about food, only just managed to eat my lunch in fact :eek:

    we had fish, homemade chips & baked beans for dinner, i'm trying to cook stuff that all 3 of us can eat (hence the healthy eating not diet thing) and just exercise some portion control :rolleyes: well i'm trying anyway ;)

    OH has just gone out so planning to run a nice bubbly bath & have a mug of chocolate options to relax :D

    have a good night everyone

    I used to have a WW journal and in the front is had a page on how to work out your daily points allowance. Does anyone have this info available, as my DH and I have decided to try and shift a couple of stone :A and can't find the journal to work out our points allowance:mad:...

    Have you tried looking on their website?

    Hi all :wave:

    I've made a few amendments to the chart, click here to see them.

    Marion - I've just noticed your post so I haven't added your name, but it will be there for next week's update, welcome to the club. :)

    Consultant - your comments are very kind, and to repeat what others have said, you deserve support from the users of this thread because you're input is so valuable. By the way, I think your user name is a bit too formal, so I'm going to nickname you Connie! :D

    I'm off to finish my Sainsbury's shop now, so night all.

    Just popped back after finding this, which will amuse you:


    The Month after Christmas

    'Twas the month after Christmas and all through the house,

    nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

    The biscuits I'd nibble, the sherry I'd taste,

    at the holiday parties had all gone to waist.



    I remember the marvellous meals that I ate

    The gravies and sauces all over my plate.

    The wine, rum sauce, the bread and the cheese

    The lack of 'no thank yous' just lots of 'yes please'.



    As I dress myself up in my husbands' old shirt

    And prepare once again to do battle with dirt

    I say to myself, as only I can

    'You can't spend all Winter disguised as a man'



    So away with the last of the sour cream dip

    Get rid of the fruitcake, every cracker and chip.

    Every last bit of food that I like must be banished

    'till all the extra ounces have vanished.



    I won't have a biscuit - not even a lick

    I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick

    I won't have pizza or pasta or pie

    I'll just munch on a carrot and quietly cry.



    I'll be hungry and lonesome and find life a bore

    But isn't that what January's for?

    Unable to giggle, no longer a riot

    So month after christmas, and 'Have a good diet!'
