Sorry, people I've been very quiet of late too on this thread.  We've been away (its half term here in the UK) so am not expecting great shakes come Monday's weigh in but back to the plan.

The insurance company is being really quite viscious about my car and it looks like I will be car less for the next week or so at least.  That alone should shift some pounds!  :-\

I'm a bit confused on the extra points we can use during the week.  I know that we should use all of our daily points but what about the week's allowance.  Should we use it all or is it optional??  Anybody know, anyone help??

Hi all I have been to three weigh in and have lost 3 kgs.  I was really discouraged yesterday because I only lost .2 after bigger losses the first two weeks.  I have been well beneath my points which apparently has backfired!  I am trying to move more buy really want to close my eyes and wake up 20 kgs lighter!!!

Well done on the 3 kilos. It would be great to wake up the weight we want. The flylady says (About house and body clutter) that it didn't it didn't get this way in a day so getting tidy or losing the weight won't happen overnight. Keep at it 3 kilos is 1/6 of the way to 20kg  ;) I think go the glass half full  ;D

Thanks Megan! I went to the varomA demo last night and I think I blew the ww equivalent of having your car towed lol!
! I am trying to figure out what bread to eat.  I usually make the 5 seed or issi Portuguese loaf.  If I have calculated correctly there is 98 points in the five seed which makes it massive! What is the group thought on the bread question? I generally eat one piece a day with avoid so I am o kay point wise but it seems like a lot when the store bought ones are lower in points

Hi Nik
The weekly 49 points are optional to use as needed.

Hi Joynatalie
I count the seed bread from the EDC as 6PP for quite a small slice (about 1cm in width & maybe 9cm long & 7cm high).
I do find this keeps me full for longer than 2 slices of store bought grain bread. I don't have seed bread as a sandwhich but like you have the one slice. I couldn't afford the PP to indulge in a sandwich!!!

just to add, if you want to count calories and not points, go to
www.calorieking.com.au and sign up for free.


i have just started a diet again last week too, but i don't count points or calories, just really healthy eating, no preservatives.

Hi all, my weigh in day yesterday - really pleased to find that I've lost 3lb (over a fortnight).  I think I'm doing a test week this week to see what happens weight loss wise if I eat all my daily points AND all my weekly points.  I'm still carless so doing lots of walking - at least that means extra points!

Oh you have got to be joking - I could eat anything in sight - not that I've had a period for going on 3 1/2 yrs!!!    My last child seemed to signal the end of those (thankfully ...)

Good on you girls, i lost 600g this week so that makes 1.3kg on 2 weeks.

I am hungry anytime so that's why i am in this predicament!

Pretty cool though, still using my tmx and cooking what i want and losing weight all at the same time. I guess i am eating in moderation now!

Catch up later, i am off to cook!  ;D

Congratulations everyone.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Yes, congrats everyone.

I'm not expecting any losses this week - I've been really hungry all week.  I've tried to stick to low cal things but in the end I just had to feed the carb craving!!

My youngest has been poorly and it might have been my body's way of fighting off the virus.
