I don't know if anyone from WW head office ever looks in on this thread, but I'd like to thank you for giving me my life back. My heel spurs used to hurt so bad I could hardly walk, my heart was murmurring to the point of stopping and I couldn't even bend down to put on my shoes without my stomach getting in the way. I felt ugly and depressed, but now I feel fantastic and its all down to a sensible diet that is satisfying, filling and fun. Thank you WW

wow! I don't know either if anyone from WW head office reads this, but surely your story will help many of the miniminis girls who need a focus to lose weight!

You should send your story to their success stories. I did and was invited to a photoshoot... it was AMAZING! Do yourself a favour

I ask because for example if I have a slice of bread worth 2pp and I eat 2 slices. Would that not make my meal 4pp. Very sorry for asking something that's probably been asked a thousand times before on another thread. I'm just coming off my night shift and the eyesight wouldn't be the best now!

Thanks in advance for your help everyone

Sometimes, because of rounding, one thing might be 1PP and two are 3PP (or one is 2 and two are 5). This is because for example, if something works out as 2.4 it would round down to 2PP. However two would be 4.8, which rounds up to 5. This can also occasionally work the other way eg. One might be 2PP but two could be 3PP.

To deal with this, whenever I am having more than one of something, I multiple the nutritional info by however many I'm having before entering into my calculator. That way I know for sure the PP value for exactly the quantity I am having.

I believe the calculator also has the option to put it how many of something you are having, and it will do the multiplying for you!

Hope that helps x

Kagome, are you ok? Your BMI reading to your height is reading at your weight being 4 stone.

I think it's a mistake as i use the metric system... my bmi before pregnancy was 20.7 now it's 24.5 I'm 20 weeks pregnant. Worry not, I'm all right and very healthy

edited to add: I have just updated the stats... the current weight works better if you put your weight in lbs... funny!
