Hmm, it says pork is, but not including ham.

Although she doesn't do like ham steaks, its like a pork roast? Think of roast beef and its the pork version of it. Mmmmmmmmmmmm! I'll just have to be good and not eat any breads or anything. Not too hard at P's mom and dad's, the only bread they serve is pumpernickle which is like 1 point a piece (which is AWESOME).

Its my Mom's house where that really sucks. She serves the italian dense breads, like Ciabatta and Focaccia. She also does a sugar icing glazed Panettone as well. Its like cake bread? Sweet and dense like cake, but its bread. Gah! This sucks!

What's a set point? I'm so new to this and already confused! And horrified to find out how many points I use first thing in the morning, on breakfast and coffee!! lol...better change this quickly or I'll be starving the rest of the day!

 

[Sherileigh]

Oh and do you guys keep track of your weight on this thread?

 

[Vickie]

The UK system is different so I'm not sure if they have set points there or not?

You can keep track of whatever you want in this thread, I update weights weekly if you give me your loss I put it on the first page

A lot of us track our daily meals, helps keep us on track and also maybe give others ideas for meals

I think they do setPOINTS over there, it was someone from the UK that first mentioned it on this thread if I remember correctly. Although I think the actual point value is different.

On the upside, while reading about them more it doesn't just pertain to restaurants! It just says when you aren't eating at home.


So yeah, setPOINTS is a list of certain foods that are considered filling. So you can take a reasonable portion and give it a setPOINT value. So like turkey, is a setPOINT value of 5 over here. It kind of takes the guesswork out of eating out.

Yes, I had to change my breakfast habits too! My coffees used to be like 4 points before I trimmed them down. I was using sugar and coffee whitener! The morning java sucks now, but at least I'm losing weight I guess.

 

[Vickie]

I need to look more into these set points I think

Here's the Link

I bookmarked it as it is freaking impossible to find it while searching the site.

 

[Vickie]

thanks I'm pretty sure you've sent it to me before and I lost it will have a look at H's naptime

 

[Vickie]

I forgot to mention my food porn dream last night

I dreamed that I was telling you all how I'd done well with my points for the day blah blah blah and than I suddenly decided to go to Sonic (fast food place) and get a double cheeseburger (huge and I'm sure is a horrific amount of points) and I was so ashamed that I ate part of it and than ordered 2 chicken wraps and ate those because it was "better" than I woke up

 

[RainbowMum]

OK, so the M&Ms have been destroyed(read:eaten) so back to being good tomorrow. I don't even feel good after eating them, not sure why I bought them...

 

[Squidge]

Anyone have any masking tape i can have? i NEED to tape my mouth shut!

 

[Vickie]

Rainbow I ate Oreos on Saturday and they weren't even very good

Squidge bad day?

 

[Squidge]

[RedRose19]

had my second weigh in today and by the evening id lost 3 lbs .. i was worried cuz i had a big bowl of soup just b4 i went out was worried i would be the same.
think im going to stick to 18 pts a week

 

[Vickie]

well done babyhopes! Is that three pounds total loss? I'm going to post it on the front page

 

[Squidge]

babyhopes you'll still lose if you went back upto normal points. I think you can only do fast start once or twice, don't think you're allowed to do it every week

Oh and well done on the 3lb

I don't even think i'm going to dare weigh in on wednesday....i may give it a miss

 

[RainbowMum]

Squidge, I think I'm going to give my weigh-in a miss this week too after indulging in Maltesers & M&Ms this weekend

 

[RedRose19]

yeah 3lbs was the total loss i was so nervous..

yeah i am only allowed do the quick start for another week.. then ive got to go back to 22 pts tho im hoping by next week im under the 11 st which means one pt less..

 

[Vickie]

wanted to make sure I had it right

Squidge and Rainbow hope this next week goes well for you and you have good weigh ins next week!

 

[RedRose19]

thanks vickie

i got my fortune told today.. so been positive all day.. and kinda hyper lol hoping to get alot of exercise done this week

ladies im sure you've still lost.. good luck with the weigh in
