Yeah, got the deluxe starter pack. I was hoping it would give me a bit more info on simply filling and how to calculate whether items classify as simply filling such as different types of rice, some cooked ham does and some doesn't etc so was a little disappointed about that but it does seem so much easier to point the "extras" now. And the calculator is really useful. So frustrating that SW never managed to produce something like that. It would have been great.
Did you end up going to group? I would be interesting to hear how much info and support was available for the simply filling side of the plan. I really feel that I need something to keep me on the straight and narrow at the moment.

Hello - I'm back, I went to the meeting this morning 
I'm so glad I did!
I managed to get free membership and free first meeting, so far so good. I wanted this in order to spend on a delux pack and pedometer I knew the prices of these by post and thought so long as it worked out cheaper by turning up in person then I'd be happy, go home and have a go all by myself.
Well, this is what happened......... I weighed, the ww leader spoke to me about what I wanted to get out of the class etc, I went along with this. Headed to the shop and managed to buy a delux pack for 14.95, this had some vouchers in which had £2 off the pedometer, which made that 14.95. So all in all I was very pleased. The leader was very nice, I sat next to a really friendly lady, the group was busy but had loads of helpers and 3 weigh in stations, then I found my neighbour was sat behind me All in all, I dedided I'm going to give the ww group a go !!!!!
So, I was quite surprised with the turn around in my thinking ! Only thing was, I mentioned to the leader that I used to do the core plan, she said that there was the filling and healthy plan, but to start with they like everyone to do propoints and get used to pointing things. During the talk she didnt mention filling and healthy, so first impressions are that there's not as much support for those doing filling and healthy, but we'll see.
Here's my diary for today: I'm on 27 pp
B- 50g porridge and 200ml milk - 7 pp
sn- apple, grapes, ww bar, ww oat bites - 4 pp
D- 2 wraps with tom puree, tomato, peppers, onion, 20g cheese - 8 pp
T - wholewheat pasta (4pp) with roast veggies in olive oil (2pp) = 6 pp
pud- tropical fruit salad
sn- perhaps some more milk for a latte (2pp)

That's a good looking day's food planned. And not bad amounts for pro points either. I am tempted to give pro points a go for the odd day in the near future just to get my head in a bit of a portion control mindset.
Hope the rest of your weekend goes well.

Glad you enjoyed the meeting. I always have to do pro points after being off the rails for a week or so, gets me a bit more disciplined. Actually I tend to have more counting days than SF these days but often have a lot of meals that are SF. Sounds like a good days menu. Hope you have a good week. Xx
Thanks both I'm surprised but today has gone really well and I'm definitely not hungry - hoooray!

Are you experiencing wrap withdrawal today Gobbolino?? Seriously though those look like some great few days of food and exercise. Are you enjoying pro points so far this week?
Is your hot smoked salmon the john west one that comes in 3 strips? If so very useful to know the points as I have some in my freezer minus the wrapping so didn't know how I was going to work out points for it. Have you tried the pepper one? I LOVE that with a baked potato and salad. Or flaked through pasta.
How are you finding the 30 day shred? I started day 1 of it today, its been about 7 months since I last did it so was a little apprehensive but really enjoyed it and found it easier than I remember which is enouraging. Though I suspect using weights 3 times bigger than last time might not have been the best plan... We shall see how my arms and shoulders feel tomorrow.

I'm ok with no wraps today - he he But thanks for asking!
The hot smoked salmon was a vacuum packed one from aldi. I used the calculator to find the points per 100g then I whipped the skin off and weighed what I would actually eat The john west one sounds good, does it come frozen then ?
30 day shred is going well, I've been doing it before work most mornings which means an even earlier start, but I'm enjoying it. I love Jillians attitude, I've not watched much of biggest loser but I think she's pretty cool. This morning I thought I'd have a day off it and took the dog for a walk instead. Hubby went golfing after work so I managed to squeeze day 5 in after work. Tempted not to do it tomorrow am as I plan to go to a yogacise class (mind you I've been planning to go back to this particular class for the last 6 week ha ha ha!). Good luck with Day 2, I know what you mean about the weights, I used 2lb weights (quite heavy for me) I think, but for the final set I switched to baked bean cans (quite light!).

That is some very committed shredding this week! I am planning on easing myself in more gradually with a few days each week, I have an irritating inability to lose weight if I exercise too many times a week so I am trying to stick to 3 days a week at the moment as I have just started a new plan. The weights I used were 2.3kg, maybe that was a bit optimistic but they are the weights I always use for the Davina workouts I have got.
The john west salmon comes fresh, I think its only sainsburys that do it. I will have to google nutritional information and get weighing the pieces in the freezer to work out the pro points. Its probably unrealistic to try and convince myself it could be free on simply filling isn't it??

1st day wasn't as horrific as I remember though it wasn't exactly fun either! Hope my boxset arrives soon so I have a bit of variety too x
