I have to say I disagree with this - I've had poor leaders and excellent leaders and to be honest, if my leader is poor, I'll go to a different class. Some of it is repetitive but what I find invaluable is the setting aside of an hour each week where I focus on the fact that I want to continue to lose weight. By giving this time every week, I find I'm more focussed. We'd spend EUR10 very easily elsewhere and maybe the return from a WW meetings is worth a lot more than the EUR10 spend. Plus there are savings when you pre-purchase in advance so that's a good option too..

I just personally find €10 a week a little steep (especiallty compared to what uk prices are), and these days I cannot afford it to be honest!! But each to their own what works for some doesnt work for others! I find if my clothes are tight or something thats as much motivation to me as going to class. Everyone's different..the classes are good for motivation i will agree but find im doing just as well at the moment without..and like I said that €10 could be spent swimming a couple times a wk or on a few aerobics classes..Just my opinion :wavey:

I agree, everyone is different and we shouldn't say which way is best as what works for me wont work for someone else. Wish you continued success!
Now maybe if anyone has special offers or recommended products available in ROI please let us all know! It would be very helpful!!

I agree. I like to stay at the class, sometimes you can get great tips, sometimes not, but I like to be able to sit and focus on my weightloss and motivate myself for the week ahead.

Dunnes also do their own brand of rasher medallions, 6 in a pack and its 3pp for the pack, so 2 medallions would be 1pp. They are very nice and are very reasonably priced at E1.49. I love putting them on a blt sandwich.

those rashers sound good..thanks for the tip!
Does anybody have any recommendation on breads?i find the ww bread and even the dunnes low fat one very thin and unfulfilling to be honest..one slice leaves me wanting more! Any body any ideas on any that are a little lower in points?

Tbh think the ww bread is awful and as far as I know 2 slices of it is 3pp, so not worth it. I ususally have the brennans wholegrain 2pp for 1 slice or 5pp for 2 slices, but its proper bread.
The ww sausages are really tasty, they are 1pp for 1 or 3pp for 2, or you can have 3 for 4pp. Only prob is they are very dear here, bout Eur3.69...but as the the dunnes rasher medallions, think they are the best buy at Eur1.49 for pack of 6 and 3pp in whole pack. BLT made with 2 bread and 2 medallions and 0pp salad works out at 6pp without your mayo. Thats whats on my lunch menu today

sounds good..i like the brennans wholegrain too! i always counted it as 1.5 points (the old points thats wat im on) and i just find its 100 times more fulfilling! I think i was pointing it about rite..i havent had ww sausages i must go searchin even to just give them a try! somebody told me once that those chilli or garlic sausages from aldi are only 2 points each aswell! and they can be very filling..i could be wrong i dont tink i ever pointed them myself but they'd be worth a look.

That's exactly the bread I use too Bindi - it's yum. I don't like the Brennans wholemeal at all but love the wholegrain and definitely worth the 2PP per slice too! I had rasher sandwiches three times this week and loads of salad in it. I used a tomato relish that Aldi do on the bread and it was heaven!!! The relish is similar to the Ballymaloe country relish - yum!! It's great we can still eat "normal" food on Propoints!!

Hi Caroliano - I am a fan of pink and whites too!! Never knew you could microwave them - gonna try that!! They are great when you're craving sweet food.
Hey, I'm a drogheda girl
Hi gracienoods I saw that too - I often thought Dunnes was cheaper than Tesco in Ireland. I bought fruit/veg in Tesco recently having usually bought it in Lidl and it lasted no length so I think I'll be returning to fruit/veg in Lidl from now on!!
Enjoy the weekend everyone!!
