Couperwife Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I want something you know the feeling...im "heathy eating" (im NOT on a diet ) and I want something. now, todays dinner has been really healthy, tons of fruit, a slimming world Tuna Pasta Bake, salad stuff with fresh herbs. now I want something, what can I have that hits the spot, but doesnt knack the diet (that im not on ) would a mince pie be horrific?? Help (before I go and open the 4 large bars of Green and Blacks in the kitchen) cathy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Eek! I hate that feeling - it's when I usually succumb to something silly and blow the whole days efforts! Have you got any options hot chocolate? I've got some in the cupboard for emergency chocolate requirements. Or clean your teeth - I never feel like eating with clean teeth!

Couperwife Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I had a mince pie but now I feel better and im not seeing it as spoiling, im not feeling well at the moment, so just not eating all the stodge in sight is making me feel good thanks for the idea though Snowy, I had never thought of that one before cathy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well I've finally got around to joining Weigh"Ooops, word censored!"chers tonight and nearly hit the floor when I stood on the scales. I'm the largest and heaviest I've ever been except for maybe when I was 9 months pregnant. So it's Propoints for me from now on. I'm determined to get fit and lose weight - another colleague from work came too. OH has promised me £10 per pound lost and kept off. Miffy, I love your photos, they are truly inspiring. And I love the tip about brushing your teeth Snowy So I'll be back here in a week with hopefully good news. I'm off to brush my teeth now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I've just succumbed to a cup of hot choc and a couple of those Go ahead yoghurt bars. But I have been very good today and had some points to spend before bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I lost 3lbs at my WW weigh in last night. I wanted to do a little dance smiley , but we don't seem to have one that would match how I feel. In my 29 daily propoints & my 49 slush - I even went out twice - steak & jacket one time - then a Beefeater steak, chips & onion rings - followed by chocolate cheesecake! Yes you can still live & lose weight. I had no alcohol though. Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'm so glad of this thread, its helped me stay on track and lose 3lb this week...... only another 4.5lb to lose to be back to my pre xmas weight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I didn't get to go to my weigh in because I've got two poorly little people at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Is anyone doing the new WW ProPoints system? Just wondering as I'm concerned that fruit is "free" - I think I've decided to count all fruit as 1 propoint, otherwise I'll find myself eating it just for the sake of eating it . What do you all do and is WW ProPoints working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi Can I join in please. I havent a clue what I weigh but I know it's stupid lbs . I need to get rind of about 4 stone. I would love to loose 1st for Easter. My problem is I love cooking & baking & eating. No such thing as small portions in my house. Sage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 All fruit is free and i don't worry at all about the amount I consume of it. I eat the most when I'm bored and I try to make sure it's just fruit now. I take grapes, apples & pears to work with me to munch on throughout the day.

Thanks Griffin, I guess it's working for you then!!? I just worry that I think I went wrong on Slimming World 'cos I ate too much fruit 'cos it was free . Maybe if I don't point it but limit it to say 5-a-day of fruit that might be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 We were told to limit bananas but not to worry about the rest - the 29 P P s have an allowance for a 'normal' amount of fruit so if you don't eat it you are actually eating too little. I was doing that and wasn't losing weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Yes we were warned a bit about bananas too. I have a vitamix smoothie with my fruit, which I put one banana, a mango & some frozen strawberries in - along with a bit of water. It's yummy & does me & hubby 2 servings each. So one banana into 4 servings isn't bad & it's so filling. One lady at my class had over indulged on fruit & had a very poorly tummy.

Snowy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Not lost anything this week, but I realised that before I even weighed myself! I felt so bloated! I know I've been good though, so hopefully will see the results next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 ay my SW meeting, some people find too many grapes can sabotage their weight loss as well as bananas. For me bread is a BIG problem...just treat myself to toast once in a few weeks (with butter ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 With butter is good - far better a small amount of real butter than the evil margarine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Doing OK think I've lost about 4lbs or so. Had a bad wine day though but only one thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 So pi**ed off. Put my name down for a weight loss trail. Thought this would give the big kick up the bum I need. Just got an email back saying they only want people with a BMI off less than 30. Know wonder there is so much dieting cr*p out there if they only test slightly overweight people. Anyway don't need them I can do this on my own. They can shove it where the sun don't shine and swivel. Sorry about the rant. Sage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
