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 :)

Hello trinity - the more the merrier!

My breakfast WOULD'VE been two slices toast (6PP), Flora Light (1PP), with Marmite (0PP) on one and 1tsp marmalade on the other (1PP). However, my DS decided that he wanted the marmalade slice, and instead of eating it like a normal human being, he licked all the marmalade off and gave it back to me!

I suppose he was doing me a favour in the long run...

Trying the WW recipe for veggie pasta wedges tonight - sounds weird, but I'll let you know how it turns out!

Any more WI's today??

Had special K this morning with red berries and milk. 2 coffees so far today. Got lunch out planned with a friend and will go for jacket potatoe and beans. Got to start somewhere....

Tea tonight is gammon and oven chips for the girl and DH. I'll have gammon and veg. Now I've written all this down, I feel more committed. Will check back tomorrow...

How do you find out about the new WW points system? I'm still working on WW old system as that's the one I've got 'prior' with :)

Welcome trinity

huffy I guess the only way would be to join up? Either online or at a meeting. If you don't want to attend meetings and are happy doing it on your ownyou could attend the first meeting, get the material and then use that at home without paying anymore fees. That way you'd get told what points you were allowed (most people seem to be on the minimum of 29PP a day unless they are very tall). You might also get the calculator, shopping guide or eating out guide to help you as I find the wheel they give you to work out points very fiddly.

huffy, I second ClaireDeLoon - I'd go to one meeting, get the starter pack, starting weight, and your PP allowance, and also stay behind afterwards for the short talk by the leader to introduce you to the system.

If you can afford, I'd consider signing up for WW online (eSource) - it's £6.95 a month, and you get access to everything you'll need to do the plan - ProPoints calculator, WW recipes, online tracker (food and activity) and more...

Welcome Trinity.
Froot, sounds like a helluva party!
Huffy someone said you could get monthly membership of WW v. cheap via money saving expert.com. That gives you access to the e source stuff. Also, suggest you buy the calculator but not the useless "Shop!"

And me...

I have 11 kg to lose in total to be where I used to be pre kids but will be happy with 8 kg...

Today I had poached egg with burgen bread

for lunch I've made parsnip soup with wholemeal toasted pita
snacked on pineapple

dinner is spiced chicken, salad and new poatoes

I do a lot of walking, about 4-5 miles a day with kids/dogs etc

I've just had 2 fillets of pollock poached in a curried water with boiled carrots, steamed brocolli and raw mushrooms - 4 points

I'm stuffed but I fear I may be fartign later

I had sushi for lunch as went shopping with friend. Meant skiving out of the office but hey ho!

Quickly popping in . 0.5pm off at WI for me this week. Am pleased as didn't make it there last Thursday and am sure I would have gained so this is a good result considering. I am going to lose 2lbs next week to get to my 3.5 stone .

Hope everyone is OK and looking forward to the weekend, that's when I love PP and the weekly points !

huffy we all have days of struggle, but with the support of others we get back on the diet train - can we help at all?

always good to try and plan your days menu so have a rough idea what to eat

i was an oldie on old ww, but just brought the eog and shopping guide and calculator and do it at home alone

jojo bad dh trying to sabotage your diet

froot sounds a yummy high pp time was had last night, but hey we have to enjoy ourselves every now and again

trinty welcome - some of us are long term,some semi newbies and some just started, but all are helpful and supportive :)

and lol at farting - a day of 0 pp soup does that to me

noway and you still ate the licked toast?

piffle welcome

wynken well done on 1/2lb loss - why on earth does lb turn to pm on iphones/pad etc?

EEEEEWWWWW blondes, of course I didn't eat the toast!!!!

Well done wynken and :o at NoWay and her manky licked toast.

noway oic, i thought you meant you had saved a pp or two from not having the marmalade and butter

DH ate DS' left-over toast once - before I had a chance to warn him that it'd been licked!

Poor thing, I hated seeing that scarred, haunted look when he realised what he'd just eaten! Maybe he'd prefer it if I just didn't say anything - ignorance is bliss, and all that!

def should have kept quiet

if you dont know it has been licked/sneezed on/spat in, you wont taste the difference :)

I'm about to start ProPoints in the morning. Not sure where to start with this thread however...

Wish me luck!

Good luck Ceolas it's really not too difficult once you get your head around it!

Just had a banana as am famished, buttering dd's toast and was salivating

Now to resist wine o clock

My Granny gave me a bottle of gin that she had sitting in her cupboard, cracked that open last night, had to do a special tesco trip for sl tonic. More tonight me thinks

ceolas welcome

piffle surprised you didnt lick it and then give to dd

willa yummy G&SLT

The best way to drink, willaby! I shall be guzzling a homemade Cuba Libre after DS bedtime (possibly before if he continues to be so stroppy!) - bacardi, diet coke and hefty amounts of freshly squeezed lime juice with the squashed lime chucked in the glass for good measure!

Well done wynken on loss, and hello ceolas!

if I was to want a cuople of drinks tonight what is the best points wise to drink?

vodka and diet coke, wine or lager?

lager is not good
Wine is ok but think clear spirits and low cal mixers are best
I stick to wine and soda on a diet, buy cheap nasty wine so make really weak spritzer and am never tempted to just drink the wine
Or fizzy water instead of booze
