( oh and weakness too)

Cod
10 5
10 3/4
aim 9 12
weakness post supper picking

OK, looked it up,
Peanuts are 157 cal per 25g
As a comparison:
Strawberries = 8 cal per 25g
Cheddar = 116 per 25g
Prawns = 28 per 25g

So I guess you could have them but only if you counted them in completely honestly! Not a diet food, I repeat, not a diet food but very good for you.

hey www
go your scales working?

yes have got scales Cod but am not goin on them til Weds when I will come and tell you what the loss or gain (please God no!) is.

Ok, today I have had porridge made with low-fat rice dream and a chopped banana. Lunch was baked potato with baked beans. I know no spuds but we were at a play place and it was the best of a bad bunch! Was starving whilst cooking tea for ds so scoffed a few slices of Quorn pretend ham. Have just consumed chicken with roast butternut squash, broccoli and runner beans and an apple. I am absolutely starving still. Have bought an Options low fat hot chocolate turkish delight flavour sachet thing I'll drink whilst watching ER and lusting after Dr Kovac. I bet it's minging.

www - re. standing up and eating, just make a rule that you have to sit down and eat off a plate!

Day 9 on the wagon and it's the first night I'm really, really missing it.
I'm trying to keep thinking the mantra about being slim, but honestly nothing feels as good as a drop of ice cold sauvignon blanc slipping down...

TURQ, No, don't do it! If I can do it you can do it...have you opened it yet? Is it nice? Can I have some vicariously? Tortoiseshell, I think I might have to make that a rule, that French Women don't get fat book tells me to too!

Going to see a vein specialist tomorrow afternoon. My left leg has been killin me and my acupucturist wants me to go. You don't think he might ask me to take off a few stones do you?

Also now had a bottle of Becks BUT within my points still!

ok, off to bed now. Had bowl of veggie soup for tea, and WATER to drink. Feel very virtuous!

3 walnut halves = 1 ww point. I mix them in a low fat yog with a squirt of honey.

My top tip for filling up - lots of veg, I piled my plate with broccoli tonight. Also, fizzy water or diet drinks - have a glass whenever you are tempted to sneak to the fridge. has stopped me reaching for a Stella.

I had chicken breast and veggies for tea, and a pack of snack a jacks this afternoon. Have stuck to 18 points today, hurrah.

That is very sad news about walnuts, but probably goes a long way towards explaining why I haven't lost very much weight yet! I knew about peanuts, but kidded myself it was to do with the oiliness/honeyroasting or whatever.

Can anyone tell me the ww points for dried apricots? I hope I'm not going to get as big a shock on that one.

WWW thank you - I resisted. It was hard.

Just a question to all you weight watchers people....

a salad, does it matter how big the salad is? I had a dinner plate full of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, spring onions, grated carrot and beetroot, is that all no points?

I then grilled a chicken breats with two lean rashers of bacon and a a very small grating of half fat cheddar (it needed using) with a low fat dressing (only 0.1 fat saturate) and it was lovely. Even dh didnt moan and ate the lot, but it was so filling that I think i must have used too much salad stuff, can this be possible?

am off to my weigh in this morning btw

fio, yes i think all that salad is fine.
As logn as you don't do what the chap behind me in the canteen did yesterday, had a "salad box" filled with cottage cheese, grated cheese, sausage salad (basically chopped up sausages in some kind of tommy sauce), potato salad with loads of mayo! oh, and a bit of cucumber...
Is it a sign of a food obsessive when I'm eyeing up other people's lunches??
My tea last night was fish finger sandwich (very late so needed to be qucik) but in fact I only ate the fish fingers, couldn't face the bread!
weighed myself.....
10st 10 (oh heck! well, not as bad as it could have been...)

Hi, Is it too late to join?
Stats are:

Suzy
11.0
11.0
9.5
Weakness: Picking/snacking/no will power when it comes to anything sweet!

It's never too late suzysox. Does anyone else wake up feeling terrible? Maybe it's my body detoxing but I wake up feeling like I've been drinking and I haven't, so it's most galling! Dehydration I suppose, although I am trying to drink lots of water during the day. I'm probably going to bed too late too at 11pm, with a 6am waking baby.

yes, www I am waking up with headaches even though I am not drinking!

I try to drink at least a pint of water before i go to bed, does mean i get up once in night for a wee though

Do I have to do anything? how does it work?

I always find I wake up really tired if dieting - have to drag my eyelids open! Much more so than normal. Apparently, people who sleep more tend to be thinner than people who don't - something to do with the metabolism. So good excuse to have a lie in and an early night I say!

apparently if you are a drinker and you stop, it is recommended if you take a milk thistle supplement to improve your liver function again, apparently it also improves liver function of people with liver cirrosis (sp?)

OK yesterday food diary
fresh squeezed orange/grapfruit juice
veggie sticks (lots)
banana/satsuma
3 oatcakes
prawn provencale (ASDA ready meal only 170 cals the PACK!!) broccoli, carrots, asparagus
large (very large) salad, 1tbsp low fat salad cream
bowl of dry shreddies (starving at 10.30 pm!!)

Plus a 1/2 hr spin class (nearly died) and 1km power walk.

Actually written down not too bad, I worried about the shreddies but they were my 'carbs' for the day.

I am trying to have carbs once a day in the eve (I have to have them then)

This week I am on a ready meal diet!! Justto keep it interesting I chop and change each week. So I am having a calorie counted Ready meal in the evening with loads of veg and salad. Sticking to veggie sticks and fruit all day.

What is a veggie stick? Loads of people have mentioned them - do you mean stick of carrot etc? Or is it something entirely more sophisticated?

feel tired and miserable today - inspiration needed to stay on bloody diet, really want a large latte with a cosy pastry.

And I burnt my lovely homemade soup heating it up this morning so have nothing for lunch.

just chopped up raw veggies tortoiseshell (being a tortoise you should know that )
