me too. i was 13 points over for yesterday...good one...

[champs]

becca, there was a ww plan a few years back (came free in a woman's mag or newspapper) that limited points in the week to 20 pts and then weekends were free. sounded good at the time,

i think my brain thinks the weekend is every day tho as it begs me to pig out daily

maybe you could try to save some points everyday and then spend them at weekend.

[champs]

maybe i will follow my own advice

[Beccarollover]

There is also the Wendy plan isnt there where the points fluctuate from being very high to very low...

Im dreading weigh in tonight now!!

[champs]

chin up becca!!! you might have done better than you think.... isn't it weird that the week you work so hard and stick to it you loose nothing and the times you do not so well, you loose??!!
(my old leader used to say it was the weeks you stuck to it that helped you when you didn't and the times you slacked caught up with you!! )

[Beccarollover]

Ive eaten hardly anything today

Fingers crossed for 7pm

[CountessDracula]

Oh Becca so do I!

Was good on Saturday but Sunday OH GOD! Can I come with you to hypnosis?

[Lisa78]

Never mind Becca! Why don't you save up your points a bit, so you can have a blow out without feeling guilty? And get some exercise in - even if its something like vigourous housework or gardening (then you can feel really virtuous as wel1 )

[champs]

becca, i have brought some ww recipie books would you like some 0/low pointers?

[Beccarollover]

Low pointers would be fab champs

Im thinking of getting the time to eat cookbooks

Im afraid bonus points and saving up through the week dont even come close to covering what I can put away!!!

[champs]

what things would you like? sweet, savoury? meals, snacks? what are your naughty treats? maybe I can find an alternative

[champs]

i have also found a fat free cookbook I had from years ago, not ww but has cal and sat/fat values so could be converted into points. so can look at recipies in there for you too.

[Beccarollover]

champs - main meals and snacks would be great - im more of a savoury than a sweet girl

Well, I weighed in and lost THREE POUNDS

F*ck knows how but there you go!

[Hulababy]

Well done Becca.

I always try and keep below my points level each week day so I have extra for the weekends. I usually manage to save 2-4 points a day so have between 10 and 20 points extra to spend!

[champs]

well done becca!!!

Enjoy it Champs. Going anywhere nice?

Might try your recipe later this week as both DH and DD like tuna, as well as me. It'll be nice just having to make one meal for a change too.
