So I am having snack a jacks and hummus for lunch and I am going to make WW morrocan chicken with cous cous for tea and try not to eat anything else in between

sajo ive found them nibble bites with caramel i haad some which led to a whole bag oppss nice thou x

Thanks for that Sajo. Will give that one a go. I know what you mean about going off track, seems every week something comes up that means you go out and eat/drink. So annoying. I'm tryna get rid of all the weight I put on when h2b and I moved in together. Managed to get off a stone of it so far...still another 1 and half to go (at least)...evidently I can't eat the same size portions as he can. Damn his hollow legs!

I really need to lose some weight for my holiday over Christmas (want a sexay bikini bod) and then when I come back keep the weight off until the wedding, lol!

I really got on with Weight Watchers but struggle now as I work in a new office with no microwave and I don't like sandwhiches, they bore me. Plus I'm picky as hell and don't eat salads. I used to live off soups and homemade stews with plenty of veg which was like 1pt a serving

I also then got bored as I knew no one else doing it. Would anyone on here like to set up maybe a joint weigh in day so we can do this together? Lol

I hate the amount men can eat- its not fair!!
My dad weighs about 8 to 9 stone and eats twice as much as me.

Ive just had 2 salad wraps that I made (with a smear of light mayo on the wrap). How many caloried is in something like that? Just mixed lettuce, some cucumber, red pepper and cherry tomatoes.

I count weight watchers points rather than calories I would say what you had maybe had about 3 points in total 2 for the wrap and 1 or maybe even just 0.5 points for the light mayo x
