3lb lost for me this week! (so really I got off the 2 lb I put on, + another lb). Pretty pleased with that after having a pizza last week & eating out yesterday. 
However, I am gonna kickstart my losses again by sticking to the old Discovery plan this week & doing the 18 points kickstart. Don't know if I'll go back to PP or Discovery after that.

Well done Bindi & LaurenAsha!
Sherrie, don't be too hard on yourself, it doesn't sound like you went too overboard and as we've said, we all have little slips. It's hard to conquer that thing inside you that makes you want to mindlessly eat goodies even though you're stomach is full and your brain knows not to, but that is what we're working against and even though we keep it locked up 9 times out of 10 when we are tempted, it is bound to bust through occasionally! So chin up, get rid of the guilt and start again. Glad to see you are enjoying the jogging and I hope you haven't seriously injured that leg!
Welcome Mazie6 & Yass & congrats on that stone and a half! That's about the same as me, except I started on Jan 01st. I see everyone else has given you tips, but feel free to ask if there's anything we've left out!
Alb & Lou, just put Mother's Day behind you, one day won't ruin everything!
LaurenAsha, maybe you're not getting as many nutrients as you should be, try fitting in a bigger variety of fruit & veg as well as your dairy & red meat!

Thanks Erin I know we all have slip ups, but I'm such a slow loser I can't afford to have these slip ups. Never mind though, back on it today! Had bran for breakfast with a fruit salad (I say breakfast...I woke up at 2pm!! The life of a student eh )
My leg is feeling better today, isnt hurting at all actually. I think I'm going to have to get some running shoes though because I'm running on pavement sometimes too and its not healthy to do that even in the best running shoes.
Whats the discovery plan Erin? I'm thinking about changing again too, I had a look at the Atkins diet yesterday but it seems impossible to limit myself to 20g of carbs a day. I had a look at the fruit I had this morning and just the pineapple in it was 26g!!

Haha, I only got up at 2.30.. the life of a bum! ;D And I know what you mean about being a slow loser! It bloomin' sucks. But I reckon under all this fat we're looking pretty toned from all the exercise!
Glad to hear your leg's feeling better! The Discovery plan is the old WW plan, from before ProPoints. Everything has lower points than it has on the PP plan, but you only get daily points to use in the low 20's (obviously depending on your weight, sex age, etc.) and no weeklies. You can do one week on 18 points to kickstart things and I usually get a good loss from it, even though you tend to be a bit hungry sometimes, but I can handle it for a week! I think you are better sticking to a diet like weight watchers where you can eat all types of food, without limiting your carbs, etc. It seems healthier to me. Also you can't really go far wrong with calorie-counting! If you want to give Discovery a try I will look up your points for you & help you work out anything you can't find the points value for online.

Haha, no worries! Thanks, though!
Yup, that's fine! Are you wanting to know your points that you would normally be on with Discovery (probably about 22, but I can work this out properly for you later), or are you gonna do the kickstart 18 points with me? I'm only doing 18 points for one week and then I am either going back to PP or going onto 24 points on the Discovery plan.

If you read around this forum Weight Watchers - Discover Plan Points - MiniMins.com - Weight Loss Support Forum you'll find the thread for working out your normal daily points on the old plan and also you can ask what points things are and see what kind of foods people are getting in on a normal day for the amount of points you're allowed.

I'll do the kickstart with you, starting tomorrow and I'm going to make Tuesday morning my WI so its exactly 1 week. On the discovery forum it says I should be on 25 after the kickstart.
Now all i gotta do it find out what the points values of things are
When I google the discovery plan I dont get many results, everything has been taken over by PP! I found an online calculator Weight Watchers Points Calculator so I'll use that I think, see how I go. But does 25 points sound right?

Excellent! We shall succeed! Yeah I noticed there weren'y many WW non-PP areas of the internet left!
Hmmm, well I'm on 23 points, but we can worry about that this time next week as we'll be doing 18 points until then! Here's the points for some of the basics:
Bread (medium thickness) - 1.5 per slice
Low fat spread to cover 2 pieces of bread thinly - 1
Small can of baked beans - 2.5
Low fat cheese slice - 1
Medium egg - 1.5
Ketchup/brown sauce (2 tbsp) - .5
Pasta (125g uncooked) - 3
Low fat cheese (40g) - 2.5
Oil (1 tsp) - 1
Low fat/semi-skimmed milk (1/2 a litre) - 2
Egg Noodles (per nest) - 1.5
Potatoes (per 100g uncooked) - 1
Veggies are 0 except for things like parsnips, sweet potatoes, sweetcorn.
Apple - .5
Clementines (x2) - .5
Banana - 1.5
Pear - .5
Kiwi - .5
Pineapple rings (x2) - .5
Then anything in a packet you can work out from an online calculator (make sure it's not a PP one!) or ask me and I'll work it out on the old version of the wheel.
