Emma's Food diary - taking one day at a time!

[PinkxEmma]

Hello all, I just joined WW last night. Still pretty unsure about the points values of things, but think I'm doing not too bad so far. Does anyone know any of the points values of items i've got down here?
Any pointers, advice, tips and support most welcome!

Edit: Finally getting my head around points values, thanks to WW online!
Allowed 33 points a day.

Day 1:
Special K cereal bar, glass of orange juice and coffee - 5am 4pp
Bowl of cereal (kid sized) and skimmed milk, slice of french toast, bottle of water - 10am 4pp
2 Slices brown bread, 1 slice chicken, babybel, WW lemon cake slice, bottle of water - 1pm -10pp
WW Chicken Tikka (12pp) - 8pm

Have you joined meetings etc Emma?

I'm sure there are plenty of people who will guide you on the points but honestly, you do need to sit down with the books over the next few days and have a good snoop
It's really hard, and propoints take a lot of working out but you can do it! When I first started I went around writing the points value over EVERYTHING! I still do sometimes! Just made life a bit easier!

You can buy electronic points calculators at meetings and they are one of the best investments you can make!

Best of luck! x
