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 :)

botterbutter!!!

Well that is certainly a cliff hanger HHY

Happy hols NoWay (lovely post)

Well done Sparkle, abgirl and going on your losses this week, and keep the faith littlefriendsusan and Bigtilly - a week of sts is a disappointment but is often followed by a good loss the very next week.

Bluebump - you must try harder! (sorry to be stern but you did ask for a kick up the arse and I was hoping the school ma'am tone might do it)

Can't make my usual class for weigh in tomorrow due to school piano recital so was wondering about going to a different class. How does that work, do I just shlep up without prior announcement or do I have to contact the leader of that particular class to say I will be gatecrashing?

Feeling a bit bleurgh and demotivated today - think I am suffering a touch of the SADS, can't wait until Spring has sprung!

I was thinking of going to another class next week, we'll be staying with the ILs, I was just going to pitch up, get weighed and leave.

sparkle going and abgirl yaaaaay well done on fab losses!

Sorry to rant and run earlier, just needed to blow off some steam before getting into the car... VERY LONG POST DISCLAIMER!

Was nothing major, just everything getting on top of me atm - working almost f-t, got 2 kids meant to be getting HE'd and trying to do ALL the shopping/cooking/housework whilst trying to fit in exercise too. All came to a head when dh ironed his shirt this morning (that's the one job he does do) and shoved the ironing board in the cupboard, over the door so that I couldn't get in... There is a spot behind the door for the ironing board which is where he gets it from, but he is incapable of putting it back there. So who has to do it every day? Yep me. So had a go at him this morning, in between trying to race about like a loony to get ready for work. His reponse was to roll his eyes and say 'nag, nag, nag'. I basically blew a fuse. Sick of having to do it all.

So wrote a list of what I did before getting to work this morning and what I will have to do after, and what HE does...

DOES THAT SEEM LIKE A BALANCE OF DUTIES TO YOU??? Still seething about being told I nag...

That qualifies for the longest post in the world ever

hi all,

Welcome to shiny
Well done sparkle on your first stone, you must be pleased at the milestone. Well done to other losers aswell (sorry can't remmber all as just a quick post before taking DD to nursery

Blondes i don't know if or when i will be in magazine, i have to take my success story into my meeting on thursday and then leader sends it off and WW contacts me if and when they want to.

Ok, all,

I have been very brave and posted a before and after photo on my profile. I have also but before and after face shots to show my new hair.

High - I feel your frustrations as i work full time with 2 dc's and whilst my dh is quite good at helping out I still feel like an awful lot fall's into the "my job" catagory! Have you shown him the list? Perhaps you should simply stop doing it all for a while and see what happens. I'm pretty sure he'd notice the build up PDQ!

hugs and massive sympathy - here have a and put your feet up

vnmum you look A MAZE ING ! ! ! Very brave woman!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair!

HHY - blimey, he needs a good talking to!!! I hope when you show him the list it speaks for itself and encourages him to do more

Fab photos vnmum - you've lost so much weight and the new hair cut is very flattering

WOW vnmum - you look amazing!!

Hair looks great vnmum and your weight loss it brilliant, well done you!

Thanks for the kicks up the bum I weighed again out of interest this morning and the 3lbs are gone just 24 hours later I'm still going to be good this week.

Love the hair vnmum!

vnmum WOOOOOW! You look amazing and LOVE your new hairstyle! What an inspiration!

willaby I would go get weighed if I were you. If I didn't I would get it into my head that I had a whole week before next wi which would give me 'permission' to go off on one food wise!

sweetheart yeah I am considering going on strike. Can't stand the house being a mess though so it would probably annoy me more than him

hmc Have shown him the list but he just tried to make light of it all by trying to snog me instead (which is the LAST thing I feel like doing to him)

Have calmed down now. Perhaps all the stress will have a positive influence on wi tonight

Thanks for letting me rant

vnmum you are an inspiration well done !

Ive lost another 2lb this week so 17lb in total now :) Pleased as drank lots of wine on Sunday !

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but on wwwthebookpeople.co.uk there is a book called Weightwatchers little book of recipes for £4.99 instead of £14.99, all the recipes are in the new pps it looks good, waiting for mine to be delivered. Free delivery code UAR040

lorealai blame loopy, she said about sex first

sweetheart i can be veeeeeeeery naughty and seriously eating badly fri/sat then good for rest of week normally works

going wow 3lbs thats fb

hhy what has dh done?

abgirl well done on lb loss

hhy he has done nothing, and thats the problem lol - grrrrrrrrrrrrr for you!!!!

'passes '

vnmum wow your pics are fab - yes you were a porker (sorry, as was i) but you look amazing in 2nd pic and the haircut really flatters you and makes you look younger!!!!

willa def go and get weighed but be warned if a really different time you may notice a difference in weight, ie if normally weigh in motn you may weigh more at an evening class iyswim

hello,
marking my place on shiny new thread for my weigh-in on Thurs!

well done to the losers and STS-ers.

liked Blondes comment about earning activity points...

vnmum wow you look great, and your hair is lovely! very inspiring to see your before and after! hope to see you in the magazine soon

mumto2 thanks for the tip about the book, will check that out

I have finally opened my Shred dvd and started it today - went OK but am sure body will have seized up by tomorrow!! do people usually do it every day, or a few days apart?

am also following some advice from the last tthread, I think from androbob to look again at what I'm eating, and am trying some new things for breakfasts and lunches to try to get the weight loss going again. fingers crossed.

ive been very good and had today (to try and counter balance sun curry/last nigths vd and tomorrows zizi)

b rice crispies and skim 5
l ham and salad sandwich with sc lite 6p
t spag bol 12

and fruit inbewteen

btw has anyone got a nutrional link to zizi's menu, trying to eat low tomorrow and studying menu online

obv anything with cheese/cream sauce will be out

the pollo limone sounds yummy

zizi menu

there's a few here
www.myfitnesspal.com/nutrition-facts-calories/zizzi

I remember their apple crumble desert....yum

iheartiona thanks for link but doesnt have fibre so cant work it out :(

what new things are you trying to eat?

eggs for breakfast being protein do seem to keep fuller for longer than cereal or toast

sorry, forgot to check that!

can you put zero for fibre, that was what my leader said to do if it wasn't stated.

had a boiled egg with ww toast this morning, did feel nice and full. made celeriac and carrot 0pp soup for lunch, also v tasty.

gotta go now, dd waking up!

vnmum OMG your pictures are amazing, I love love love the new haircut (and may nick it when I get down to goal) well done you, you're a real inspiration.

So I spoke to my leader yesterday about 3 egg omlettes and she said 2pp per egg, fair enough, but also suggested 2 whole eggs (minus shell obv!) and one egg white = 4pp as one egg white is 0 points, 2 is 1pp. Could I find medium sized eggs at my local co-op or M & S today? Could i eck!

Bought a packet of salt and vinegar baked crisps from M & S today and nutritional info says 1pp. Going to double check as i know there has been some issues with their stuff but if that is 1 I am going to buy them all.

HHY He wants a nag, put him on here, he'll bloody well get one!!!!! In a few months I am back to work after maternity and feel like your post will soon be written by me but fingers crossed.

Well done on the loss mumto 17lb is excellent!

blubump was going to kick you up the bum but can't now..... keep on track and it will come!

Oh M & S crisps are 2pp. Still not bad though really!

ohhhh yes I feel like hsaking up my food a bit too. I have eaten the same thing for brekfast and lunch now for about 5 weeks and I'm getting a bit sick of it.

Can we have a brainstorm of some new brekkfast and lunch ideas?

If anyone wants to steal mine I have fruit (usually melon and grape or banana or fuit salad) for brekfast with a cup of tea and a ww yog = 2pp

lunch is 4x ryvita crackerbreads with a pot of philli light and 4 slices of ham = 4pp I usually have fruit or carrot sticks too so it bulks out a bit.

Afternoon snack is a 2 or 3pp ww cereal bar or peanut bar.

I'm possibly thinking I wouldn't need the afternoon snack if my brekfast or lunch was more substantial.

I'm yet to try my microwave omlett maker as if I'm honest I'm a bit scared it will muck up my daily points routine!

Having chorizo lasagne left overs (I froze it) but can't remember how many points per serving. Can check at home but wanted to add it now so I can see how many I'll have left!

sparkle 2pp is good for crisps - my monster munch are 3pp

willa think 10/12 but dont quote me lol
