WEIGHT WATCHERS PRO POINTS - OUR THREADS ARE EXPANDING BUT OUR WAISTS ARE NOT

[Blondeshavemorefun]

STEPPING IN FOR NORMA

Welcome one and all to our 4th 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. !

We're quite fast moving at times so just dive in - pour yourself a or and make yourself at home :)

Shred is an exercise DVD that is only 20 mins long (plus warm up and stretching) but is very hard work (for me anyway). Have a look on Amazon, it's by Jillian Michaels, it's full name is 30 day Shred. I hate it and love it at the same time.

I sort of plan, weekends I plan quite carefully (and I save my weekly points for weekends), weekdays less so as I don't know what I'll have for lunch each day.

chicaquapa you definitely need to write down and point EVERYTHING! I do not lose if I don't - you could easily be eating 10pps extra a day without thinking you are.

mrsharry it's an exerise DVD, much loved on MN. I have it, but I haven't done it yet
And I don't really plan meals much - just for the day

LUCKY REACHED GOAL TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was even half a lb under!! So I am now:

9 st 11 lbs
Size 10 in everything
Tons more energy
150% happier

A gold member for life!!!!!!

So so chuffed and happy. Unfortunately, none of my friends who I go with could go to meeting today, so I was celebrating alone...!!! .

Just had crumpets and custard creams to celebrate!!

Bump, bump, bump (this was the sound of me falling off the wagon last week) bump, bump (etc. etc.)

So had a blip over half term, couldn't get out of bed to exercise in the mornings and the cheese acquired on day trip to France was just TOO tempting, stopped tracking as well so no idea how much over I was. Did take DSs on a 3 mile walk and go swimming.

However desperately trying to climb back on to the wagon today, got up early and did Davina DVD before DSs woke up and have tracked everything today. WI tomorrow so keeping fingers crossed that the damage won't be too bad...

Really need to think about being consistent with ww when I am out of my usual routines - I have another week off for Easter in 7 weeks and want to behave a bit better then...

Well done lucky - woo-hoo!

thanks abgirl, loving the squeezed in there...LOL!!

mrsharry dh does all cooking of main meals in our house as I work FT and he is at home in time for school pick ups. He also plans meals and shops I try to stick to a healthy breakfast and lunch and work out points for whatever meal he has planned, and always save some in case the meal is more points-expensive than planned (i.e. he's added a cheese topping) or so I can have an evening treat.

lucky am a bit but it's very inspiring to know that there are some people out there who do manage to get to goal!

Well done Lucky !!!!!!!

And, have to ask, WERE you naked when they weighed you???

That is brilliant Lucky - very well done indeed!

Back later to 'talk' to everyone properly

Lucky congratulations! So happy for you :o :o :o

Well done Lucky! hows arrogantman doing?

hmc tried running 1min 12km/h, 1min 7km/h, but nearly died after 5mins Also, the machine took ages to change between the two and I couldn't run and keep my finger on the button very well!

Congratulations Lucky well done you - hope you enjoy your custard creams - you have earnt them!

Yah lucky

Well done :)

How much have you lost and how long did it take?

Hi All, sorry I have been AWOL for half term but it has been such a busy manic week, just didn't get chance to log in and catch up.

Have skimmed the posts and so much to read so will do a better job later on!

CONGRATULATIONS lucky that is brilliant! I bet you feel like a million dollars and bet you look like it too.

Abgirl climb back on board, you know you can do it!

I had a very busy h/t, charging around all over the place and aet out 3 times but made fairly good choices (not including a visit to Belgos where I had 2 cherry beers and a large pudding). I must have walked miles this week though and I did Shred 4 days and Zumba 1 day. Had a really crap day yesterday and had a huge chunk of very fresh french bread, loads of butter and very thickly sliced ham. Was so tasty though and then in the afternoon had 4 chocolate chip cookies!!! However, still had some weeklies and exercise points left.

Was dreading weighing myself this morning but lost 3lb so am properly happy !!!

Got Zumba tonight and am doing level 2 of Shred which isn't as bad as level 1 in some ways! I am now only 9lbs off my goal weight (although want to lose a bit more really).

I think I am struggling to see how much weight I have shifted though as DH keeps saying what a difference there is but when I look at myself I don't really see it! Hopefully eventfully I will look in the mirror and stop seeing myself as overweight!

Really hope everyone else has good WI's this week and just keep positive & keep going!

littlefriendsusan sounds like you had a lovely meal and 73pp a day is fine, i did 115, tho did gain lol

chica i think i did better on old ww tbh, i would go and eat/drink each week and still lose a lb a week, new wwpp i sts if been out :(

and seems some can eat all weekies and lose weight and others gain if eat all - trial and error im afraid

mrsharry i plan the day but not week

lucky again congrats on reaching goal :)

abgirl 'dusts off and lifts gently back on wagon' good luck with wi tom

lou 3 lbs loss, thats fab, well done

Hey all

So much for getting back on MN after hols - hbaven't had a second to myself! Feels like trip was a lifetime ago already, and it's hard to believe that this time last week I was eating dinner with my sister overlooking the sea

Well done lucky that's amazing news! I love reading these stories when you can see the success someone's had - it makes it all the more believable that it can happen to you.

I technically have WI tomorrow am, but got dentist appt shortly afterwards and a lot to do whilst DS is at nursery, so I'm tempted to sack it off. I know I've been good this week (still have 34 weeklies left) so I'm fairly certain I've counteracted the holiday. My clothes also feel slightly looser, which makes me feel slightly more comfortable about missing WI. TBH, I'm contemplating stopping meetings and doing it from home (think it was you, blondes who suggested this up thread?). Feel like I have the tools and the scales and am paying for not very much at the mo, especially as I'm only a few lbs off goal.

Anyway, will have a think about it...

Made feta stuffed roasted peppers (off e-Source) for dins tonight, and had 2 portions as it was only 7PP! Absolutely scrummy!

Good luck for any WI's tomorrow!!

chicaquapa I have 2 stone to lose too!. I have been losingg 1.5lbs per week on average since 6th Jan. I use my weeklies for the occasional meal out. I try to count everything, so I allocate myself 2 propoints for the milk I drink in tea throughout the day.1 propoint for butter on a slice of bread. I dont use my activity points.

Lucky thats fantastic. I am so proud of you.
Well done Lou, 3 lbs is good going
MrsHarry, I am the same as Abgirl. DH does all the cooking so I have what ever he prepares, but try to minimise white carbs. I have same cereal everyday,and during the week my treat is to walk to M&S and choose a low fat sandwich and some fruit.

Just a quick pop in - trying to tidy up - never ending task!

LUCKY well done you! [grim [ smile]
You are now officially the 2nd Goal member on my spreadsheet after Vnmum and it sounds like there are a few others who are getting close - come on all!!

I have had an ok weekend - thinking I will go for the Sat morning class and make that my new class for the month of March, so not techincally cheating blondes

lou - well done at your 3lbs!

noway - I can see your point about jibbing the class when so near to goal, but I would stick at it to get that gold membership as then you can use the free monthly WI for maintenance.

I am stuck on my plateau - will someone please push me off the edge and back on the downward slope!

Thanks so much everyone. I have just posted a photo of me today, having just got back from spinning, which I thought was rather fitting as it was spinning that helped me lose it!! Bit sweaty I'm afraid!!

Loopyla No, I was not naked!! leggins and a t-shirt!

Blondes I was 11st 6lbs when I started losing weight, but had got to 11 stone when I started WW, so in total I have lost 22/23lbs since last summer, August. The last bit was V-E-R-Y Slow, but finally came off.

BTW, when you get to goal, if you are on 29 pps a day, you then get 36 pps a day as maintenance!! Seems loads!!

Thank-you all for your good wishes and for your support on here which was invaluable, sorry I had to be a part-timer on the thread more recently.

I wish I could tell Norma....please let her know when she's back?!

L XXXXXXXX

[Shoves androbbob runs away giggling]

Back later on...

Lucky you look fab

I put on 2 - could have been worse, seeing I ate a shedload of cheese, etc. Back to tracking tomorrow!

Yes, where / how is Norma?

lucky you look amazing and loads younger!

Ooh, just seen the

Evening ladies, just a quick one, WI tonight and lost 3.5lb so up to 18lb. Please can I just say a big thank you to each and every one of you that supported me last week when I had my unexpected gain, was all ready to throw in the towel and was thoroughly down in the dumps but you were all great with your words of advice and support, so thank you again.
