WW points

[smirnie]

I've been dieting on and off since I had my son but am now at my heaviest ever and really must do something about it. I've done WW before so am thinking I'll give it a go without going to the meetings but can anyone tell me how many points I'm allowed if I'm nearly 15st? I need to lose 3 stone.

10/12 stone 20p
12/14 stone 22p
14/16stone 24p

hope this helps

Its diffeent now, it takes into account your age, your height and your activity level. Would you like me to check yours for you smirnie?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

didnt know it had chnaged

though way i see it

what worked then, will work now iyswim

but out of interest, can you do mine please

im 35, 5ft 7 and fairly active

thank you

[Blondeshavemorefun]

using this

i should be on 22 - which is what i am on (as over 12 but under 14)

[smirnie]

According to that site I should be on 25 points.
Suwoo - is that how you would work it out for me too?
Thanks all - I will join you on the other thread!

[suwoo]

Sorry just got back in from my (ww) meeting. Will work out both yours shortly.

[smirnie]

Thanks Suwoo.. I'm 37 and 5ft 8.

Don't do any regular exercise at the moment although I intend to start swimming. My job is fairly active, although no lifting etc

[suwoo]

Blondes, how many stone are you? You use that number in your points, so if you are 13 stone it is 22. Although you do get 2 more per day if you are 'occasionally sitting but mainly standing' and 4 more if you are 'walking most of the time'.

Smirnie, if you are in the 14 stones and you are 'occasionally sitting but mainly standing' you will be on 24. You would go up to 25 if you were 15 stone.

I think I have made that sound very confusing..its not though.

[smirnie]

Thanks!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

12 thought might be 13 at end of week

fairly active and 35 5ft 7

[suwoo]

Ok, so if you are in the 12's and give yourself the 2 points for 'occasionaly sitting but mainly standing', you would be on 23.

Why do you think you will gain this week?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

erm

the 15inch pizza on fri

the chinese and wine on saturday



if you are going to be, then blonde was very bad!!

[suwoo]

You never know, you might be one of those who 'gets away with it'. Were you trying to have a 'last supper' weekend before you started???

[Blondeshavemorefun]

not at all, been on it 5weeks

but just needed wanted pizza as dh did

saturady was out with friends and had ameal oooked and was a set menu

[suwoo]

Well, there are definitely worse things you could have had. Good luck with your weigh in

[Blondeshavemorefun]

worse than pizza (15inches btw) chinese and wine

curry?

but thank you

[suwoo]

Spot on! Curry.

See there are small mercies

[Blondeshavemorefun]

oh yes

indeed there are

[suwoo]

If you make the right choices at the chinese, that is about the best eating out choice you can make.

Wine is only 8 points a bottle . Less than 'volvic touch of fruit' dontcha know.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

it was a set menu so had no choice and tried a bit of everything

where at home i always have char sui pork 4p and then 1/2 rice or noodles so another 4/5

[Blondeshavemorefun]

8p a bottle?

had several large glasses so prob neare 2 bottles



thought it was a very good weekend

[suwoo]

I always have chow mein when being good. Trying to cram as much food in as possible before the baby is born and I have to start counting again

[Blondeshavemorefun]

and if you bf dont you get extra points

when is bubba due?

[suwoo]

Aye, 10 points if exclusively bf. Due in 6 weeks, I am mahoosive.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

oh to have an extra 10p a day

that would mean i could have a chinky every day
