WeightWatchers ProPoints Plan - Our thread is expanding but our waists are not!

[NormaSknockers]

Welcome one and all to our 3rd thread

If you're just starting out or you've been following WW for a while and you're looking for support you've come to the right place!

There are lots of regulars who are well on their weigh (get it! ) and others who have just joined us - we're a mixed bag, all shapes and sizes and all with different goals to achieve but we're all striving for the same thing. We're all here to will one another on with advice, support and lots of cheering!

Androbbob is our resident stat checker and keeps us motivated by totting up the total weight loss each week. So far this week we have already lost over 37lbs collectively! I believe in total there has been over a 9 stone loss since the thread started!

We're quite fast moving at times so just dive in and make yourself at home

Okey dokey, I have joined - yay!

For the spreadsheet Androbob, my starting weight is 12st 3 lbs & my first goal is 5% - 11st 8.4lb to be precise :)

Is it wrong to be excited about this???

PS - Blondes am wishing you happy, healthy thoughts, hope your week-end is better than the last few days....

oh no blondes, hope your ok! Gutted about the 2Ibs but at least you know what caused it.

House move went smootly although I did eat some celabratory cake with a rather large glass of champagne, 11 points down the drain I rekon!

May have an unexpected child free evening tomorrow and wondering if I should suggest a valentines meal out with dh?!?!? Now I know that I can use weekly points and stay on track.

Good luck everyone xxx

you are offically welcome loopy

dh and i are finally home, after spending 10+hrs in the last 24+hrs at A&E

going to have a chinese for tea, but will be with in my pp:)

omg - there is piccy :)

though think is needed after the past 24hrs ive had

blondes that sounds like a hectic couple of days! I do hope that everything gets sorted with DH very soon and they get to the bottom of what's causing it.

BTW you're not the only one who's done a sympathy faint - DH keeled over after an op, I was 6mths PG and got such a fright thinking he was dead that I keeled over too! The nurses clearly thought we were a pair of loons.

Not a bad week so far since pooey, sucky, buggery, knobendy WI on Tues . Only used 3 weeklies so far, and with no weekend plans I'm hoping to get on the plane on Monday night feeling slightly better about the bod!

sweetheart - go for it and snatch that child free opportunity for a romantic meal! (and maybe some "activity" point =- ahem!)

Already over my points for today, but seeing as I won't have any other opportunity to live a little this weekend, I am definitely going to it tonight!

Have a great weekend everyone!

loopy in regards to eating when you're pregnant I lost a stone and a half as I was felt sick all the way through the pregnancy. Put on 2 stone when she was born! I was still very overweight when I feel pregnant and it meant extra hospital visits/scans and a lot of worry, when we are TTC for nummber 2 I will be a lot lot slimmer, not going though that again!

Evening ladies

welcome Ijordan

blondes hope your DH is okay, although are you okay now? Scary stuff.

vnmum think norma is still ill at moment.

V annoyed at pizza hut, have been saving all my points to share garlic stuffed crust with DH, so ordered it and some garlic bread to start, ate the garlic bread and then they come over and say, "oh we haven't got any stuffed crusts", well if they'd have said that at first we wouldn't have stayed and come back another day with my points, so I had to waste my points on a cheesy bite one at 9 points per slice. So won't be able to have the stuffed crust again with no points. On the good side I worked out when I was full and didn't eat 1 and a half slices! Oh well, sure it wasn't any good anyway!

sweetheart def go out or have a night in

norma hope you feel better soon

sparkle :( at no crust pizza

noway we are both fine now, juts hope no bleeding starts again

Is no-one about today? Am hungry :( saving points for pizza night tonight - soup at lunchtime today, but will be worth it for the pizza and tonight.

Now on level 2 of the SHred and it's killing me! Not fun...

i here with a in my hand :)

been to the gym, dh seems to be keeping his bllod in his body

just about to have a fruit salad and then ommlette for lunch

ab if hungry then snack on fruit or make a huge vat of 0 point bns/tom/veggie soup

i did that wed and ate o pp all day so had 29 for dinner lol

blondes about to make my first batch of your bns soup! Need to save every point I can for Tesco Valentine meal tonight (30PP incl 1/2 bottle bubbly, so not too bad).

Can't wait to have it!

noway yah, enjoy, i cheat and buy ready chopped bns from waitroise , lazy but so much easier and add onion and litre of stock and simmer for 20mins and blitz

I have been sat in my car for an hour now going nowhere. Dh thought we had enough petrol to get here then go to a garage after. Err no. Car won't start again.

Bil took dh to fill a small can with petrol but wasn't enough so they have had to drive back to garage to get some more. Am stuck here with dd3 and dd4. Am starving and need the loo grr.

Apart from that diet going fine. Ran 3 miles on treadmill last night. Shred finally arrived so if I ever get home will do it today.

loopy well done on taking the plunge and officially joining us! It will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

Hope norma is ok!

Welcome ijordan

blondes glad your dh has decided to keep some of his blood!

noway could you chuck some of that soup this way? Sooooo hungry!

Dh should be back soon with second can of petrol...

Betcha want to throttle dh HHY

Glad all is now on the up Blondes - long my your dh's nose stay bleed free!

We are off out in a few minutes for a long dog walk with the dcs to enjoy the sunshine. Tonight I am going to a Burns night (dinner and wine will be consumed)- unfortunately after the pub quiz on Thursday and the ...ahem...3 pints of bitter I consumed (plus chicken and chips), I only have about 7 weekly pp's left for tonight - ooops!

HHY oh no,silly dh :( he should push the car to the garage

hmc sounds a fun night

im bs tonight so taking a micro meal with me as dont know what their fridge is like

Oooo hmc you have no idea how much Enjoy your burns night

blondes if I'd let him do that would still be sat in the car this time next week

Anyway, finally home, been to the loo and had lunch (relief beyond belief on both counts).

Taking dd3 and dd4 for a game of badminton in half an hour.

And then.....

GOING TO DO THE SHRED FOR THE FIRST TIME! Very scared...

Better go get changed. bbl!

Get ready to ache tomorrow hhy !!! I have to take nurofen just so I don't wake up the night from hurting due to shred ! It has happened each time I have gone up a level .... Level 3 not harder than level 2 imo but makes different bits of you ache - buttocks especially and as my buttocks are rather large that is a BIG ache . However worth the pain as I do seem to be getting some muscle definition even tho only doing it 3 times a week . Good luck !

hhy you are a shred virgin?

enjoy lol

Norma, hope you are feeling better.. we miss you!
HHY I think in the circumstances you should relegate DH to just H. Let me know how you go with shred. I am really struggling with getting activity points.. always keen in the morning, but then enthusiasm fades during the day! Maybe shred is the answer!
Blondes.. glad to hear you are vertical once more!

hmc enjoy your night tonight - sounds like fun

HHY my DH would be sitting on the time out mat if that had been him!! Good luck with Shred - just did Davina Kick Fit so I'm sure I'll be empathising with any aches tomorrow!

Blondes the soup is SCRUMMY. However, I foolishly bravely put a few chilli flakes in too and suffice to say it's bloomin' hot! Definitely be making that again.

Have a great Sat everyone!

froot at you BIG ache in the buttocks. The only big pain in the butt here is dh atm...

He is now watching the flamin' rugby so looks like I will remain a shred virgin until the morning blondes

wizzler ooo please get the shred dvd - we can struggle together! Yes, will relegate dh to h for the rest of the day. Well until he has taken us out for a carvery tonight at least

Had our game of badminton - good fun. And I whipped dh's arse Revenge is sweet...

Have just discovered that they have a gym at the brand new high school in the next village to us a mile down the road. We went there to use the badminton court for the first time. Had a peek at the gym and it is lovely! And only costs £2.30 to use compared to £4.95 that I am paying at the gym 4 miles away! And even better, they say it is always very quiet so I should get it to myself most of the time. No more waiting in line for the treadmill! So have booked dd2 and I in for an induction on Monday night.

Thanks noway We can revel in our pain tomorrow!!

Evening all :)

So my first day
BF:Porridge with banana
L: Soup and 2 pieces of fruit
Leaving dinner for pukka pie, few tatoes & veg - and wine OBV!

I can be quite disciplined in the week and it's really the week-end where I eat like a pig fall down...is it ok to use all the weekly points just for the weekend? (looks sceptical with eyebrow up) I tend to eat light in the week as get in late & don't cook main meals then...

Also, does anyone add housecleaning & the like on their activities or am I clutching at straws??!!

you should be bale to eat all your weekies whenever you want .......
