Tinyshoes, I found it easier to stick to ww when my bf is away as well! No temptation and nagging to get some "unhealthy" but nice treats!

0 points soups are great. I dont think I would survive without them at all. Usually I have one cup at lunch and one around 6ish so I am not starving before dinner is served. My favorite is roast peppers and tomato. Let me know if you need any recipes for soups!

And for that three points I would have some ice creams

It would be great if you could post a few different recipes for me (and method if poss coz I'm not that great at cooking!), thanks! Bf's hey, what r they like? We have a 'naughty' tin and buy the mini choc bars just in case I need some choc at least they are small bars, not too much damage to be done with one of those, but he sits and eats maybe 4 at a time right next to me grrrr! I've told him if he is gonna eat that much choc to go buy a big bar for himself and leave my mini ones alone! Gonna have to start hiding them away somewhere....

As promised some recipes for soups. Hope you manage to pick something you might like.

Roasted tomato and red pepper soup 0 pts
6 halved tomatoes
2 halved red peppers
2 onions quartered
2 cloves of garlic
Put tomatoes and peppers cut side down on a baking tray sprayed with frylite. On top put onions and garlic. Spray again. Roast in oven at 200 C for 40 mins. Put in a food processor and blend. Push through a sieve and add 1 pint of veg or chicken stock. Warm up and serve.

Leek and Potato Soup 0.5 per serving makes 6
300g potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
3 leeks cut into rings
1 big onion chopped
2 pints of stock
In a large pan sprayed with frylite cook onions until soft, add leeks and cook for 10 min. Add potatoes and stock and cook for 20 min. Season with salt, pepper, oregano.

Also here are some nice ideas. I have tried all of them and my favourite one is Asian one. http://www.weightwatchers.co.uk/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=32351&sc=3023

Thanks Ugg! I try to have a variety of food otherwise I quickly get bored and crave naughty things even more than I do already haha! The WW sour cream I got from Tesco (online shopping), and the wraps too. I don't know if there are different brands of wraps for the same points value as the WW ones - i find that they break up quite easily (better if you warm them in microwave before using them). My chicken wraps were lovely last night though - h2b doesn't like them so thought I would make them while he wasn't there!! Yum!

Snack:
WW choc biscuits 1.5

Lunch:
WW tomato & lentil soup 3
4 wm crackerbread 1

Thanks, I know, I didn't expect to lose any really, I did go a fair way over my points!! I really struggle at weekends so I'm setting myself a higher amount of points for Fri's and Sat's - if this completely stops me losing weight I'll stop doing this, but I think it might stop me going totally out of control every weekend. We will see!! Having said that I've finally got around to looking at the thread regarding how many points you can have because I have an old book which says 10-12 stone is 20 points, however I should only be having 19 now I'm down into the 10's!! So I will start that on Monday - 24 points for Fri and Sat, 20 for Sun then down to 19 starting Mon! I know it's a bit naughty upping my points for a weekend but whatever it takes to control what I'm eating I'll give it a go....

 

[nuneczka]

Tinyshoes: I think you have a good idea to experiment like this. It is like a 'wendie plan' on your own. I think I will have to move my points around coming week because it is my BF bday and we are eating out three times! Have a good weekend

 

[tinyshoes]

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Unfortunately yesterday didn't go as planned - it was either go and see my Dad and his wife and eat what she had cooked, or go home and eat alone! I opted to go to my Dad's and the food was great but definitely NOT great for my diet! I will post my diary from yesterday in a few minutes. Anyway I have done well today and done LOTS of housework so I'm just hoping I have worked the extra points off! Sounds like you've got a nice week coming up, enjoy!

Saturday 28th February - bridesmaid dress shopping - knew it would be a challenge to stick to it today as eating at other people's houses!!

Breakfast:
2 x weetabix with 125ml milk 3

Lunch:
Small portion ww chips 2
2/3 WW pizza 4

Mini naan bread 2.5
3 x mini onion bhaji 2 each? = 6

Piece of 'light' cheesecake 4?

Total points used: estimated at 30.5! Just hoping that all the walking around I've done today will offset this a little bit. Ah well, you've still got to live - I considered not going to see my Dad coz I knew I would end up going over my points coz his wife was cooking a curry and then realised that was just ridiculous!! He has been ill recently and I can't believe I even considered letting my diet get in the way of going to see him! Sometimes ya have to put the diet aside I guess......will get straight back on it.....

Depressed.

Hi , Can I join in? Feeling very depressed today. Joined ww again in Sept and lost 9½lbs by Christmas - slow, but ok. However, since then between the ups & downs have only really lost 1lb. Was up again ½lb last night - help!

Hi everyone! Ok if I join in? I've been sort of half doing Slimming World since last July but only lost 10lbs now I'm fed up of it coz all I seem to do is think about food and I've got that fed up I don't want to eat anything but junk now!! Decided to change to WW because I lost 3 stone on it 5 years ago (2 stayed off!) and you really can eat anything as long as you stick within your points so I'm looking forward to it. I think I can have 20 points (weight is 11 st 1 lb - is 20 right does anyone know?). I'm 30, and am getting married in October so want to lose a stone and a half by June time really so that I can maintain up to my wedding, or that's the hope! I don't do ANY exercise and know I need to work on that just trying to pluck the courage up to go back swimming but I HATE my thighs!!!! Anyway that's the introduction over, I will post my diary on here every day - if anyone has any tips or comments please feel free to tell me as I don't go to a club and some things may have changed since I last did this!!! As I don't know anything about the 'new' plans I will just be following the old points one!

Sherry - I don't know about my local Asda's selling those 'Real Crisps' but I have definitely bought them from Wilko's/Wilkinson's in the past, again don't know if you have one of those shops anywhere near you!!

Hiya, yeah sure join in! 9 1/2 lbs is a good loss! I was doing a different diet from July to Jan this year and only lost 10 lbs!! Maybe try eating different things, or adding in just a little bit more exercise than you normally do (which for me was easy because I don't do ANY!). Just need to find ways to keep motivated.....good luck!!! We can do it!
