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

[Blondeshavemorefun]

STEPPING IN FOR NORMA

Welcome one and all to our 5th 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 :)

checking in so I can report back after WI tomorrow! (gulp)

Another 0/5lbs off for me this week, bringing me up to 12.5lbs

well done benbenandme!

Marking my spot

marking my spot too! I had some WW mini cookies in my shopping, so that used up my final 2 PP for today - were rather tasty, hadn't had them before!

Well done benben

We have a Hotel Chocolat dip pack in the house (pot of white choc, pot of plain choc, mini marshmallows, biscuits etc) that was a Christmas present and goes out of date at end of March. To eat or just to bin? No idea how many points it would be. DP diabetic and I don't have a sweet tooth so in a way it would just be calories for the sake of it.

Hi :) I just started a week ago doing ww online but this first week have actually gained half a pound .
I am breastfeeding my 7.5 month old so I clicked the breastfeeding option on signup and then clicked "breastfeeding with solids " as she has around 5 breastfeeds a day plus 3 meals. It added a load more points to use up etc which I have followed and made sure about the water tick boxes and fruit and veg every day. But it's actually a pretty normal days food, I haven't had to reduce what I eat at all from normal so I suppose it's not surprising that I haven't lost weight!.

I am 12stone 10 and 5 foot 3 so Its not as thought I am just trying to lose a few pounds I have a few stone to go, my doctor has advised me to lose weight as I am only27 and already on medication for high bp etc :(.

I was wondering if I should reduce the number of points a bit - I need to lose weight but I had planned on breastfeeding until she weans so will be a while yet and I don't want to have to give up!

Any advice anyone?!

P.s I can't actually go to the meetings as it would mean dragging my four children with me - not a fun day out !

Hi Fernie and welcome! I'm not sure about reducing points you eat, you should always aim to eat all your daily points. Try doing (making healthy choices) and not eating your weekly points and see what that does. Can you find a way to increase your exercise? I think most of us do some amount of extra activity now.

Marking my spot! Are we ditching thread 4, or using it till it's full up? blondes are you up for a bit of "got the last post" about 16 times so we can all move here? I'll race you...

Oh, in case you missed it from previous thread, congrats hmc and shoulders and commiserations iona.

Welcome fernie! I would stick to the points given to you if still BF - everyone should eat their dailies, but you don't have to eat your weeklies if your dailies are enough.

I'm still hungover, unsurprisingly.

Just reserving a seat [slings coat over chair back), see you later

Hi ladies can I join you please.

I have been doing ww since sept and have lost 18 pounds which I am pleased about but it does seem to be coming off painfully slowly. Im hoping with some extra support it may start shifting a bit quicker.:)

thanks I am going to make some more effort with exercising and hopefully that will help next week.

Watching :) Just been given link to this thread by HMC on my thread in chat :( Im getting bigger :(

I am 4ft 11 or 5ft depends who measures me and i weigh 10stone which is LOADS for me. I want to go back to 8stone as i felt happier when i weighed that.

Welcome insanemumma and cheeky :o

cheeky I just looked at your thread in chat and I second what notyummy says about the 30 day shred, it's only 30 mins including warm up and cool down, works you really hard and there's a great support thread.

That joke was for Blondes

loopy hehe 'squats herself'

Blondes evidently Noway took your directive to heart when you created the new thread last night:

"... so just dive in - pour yourself a ...and make yourself at home"

Noway do you have access to Diet Cherry Coke - it's my tried, tested & never beaten cure for a hangover

indeed loopy maybe i should have said, grab a glass of water

marmite on toast with grated cheese works for me

Blondes you are champion!

I am still alive - panic not!

Hi all, just popping in with a 2lb loss this week which got me my 3.5 stone award and am now half way through the total I need to loose.

Am celebrating with strawberries and the WW thick cream which is lovely, 30g for 1pp. Am also loving the WW fromage frais which are also 1pp.
