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

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Welcome one and all to our 6th 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 we have lost an amazing 147 lbs since jan 2011

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

Marking spot...

well hello shoulders

fancy the last post today

Marking :)

loopy are you pissing again to mark your spot?

Wahey! - another lovely new thread

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i got pipped at the post, as did loopy and hmc

Personally I think we should send Iheart to coventry for those dirty thread end stealing tactics

Wow that was good!!!!!! Just happened to look at thread at right time I think!! ;-)

Dd had chicken pox now we think , do let me off

Has not had...

I am signing up again tomorrow. I am fat, fed-up and think that my diet is also making me a grumpy old cow. Need to lose four stone, but having done it before know I can do it again.

And even if my diet isn't affecting my mood, at least I'll be a grumpy thin cow

is everyone still motivated on WW PP?

I seem to have lost my way and not losing atm but have kept off a stone and 10lbs which is great.

Am currently 12st 3lb and would love to be 11 stone for August hols!

I would like to (a) mark my spot, and (b) offer some HEARTy (geddit?) congrats to the new "last post" champion!

Haven't caught up on the old thread, sorry guys, but suffice to say big congrats to all the losers, and commiserations to sts and gains. Another thread, a fresh start!

Well, except for me, I refuse to track till new week on Friday. Feel like shit warmed up on a shit day in Shitsville. Having to take some hardcore legal highs painkillers just to get vertical, as I swear I can feel every organ in my body aching, and every nerve in my skin tingling.

Good luck for any WI's for the rest of the week!

hmc i agree, that was downright sneaky

very unladylike and bad sportmanship!!!!!

welcome mrsk and collision

noway ive fallen off wagon this week as well and i promise i will not maon about the gain on friday

i only moan when been good and well under 49 and then sts/gain

stands on box

ive been a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery bad blonde and will take all gains on the head without moaning

OK will let you off IheartIona - hope dd is better soon!

Collision - I'm still pretty motivated. 3 stone off so far and only 13lbs until I'm at BMI 25 (although I intend to go further than that, probably aim for BMI 23/4). Comments I am receiving from others has been really motivating (lots of admiration and respect for doing so well - which is nice).

It's good that you are maintaining...what can you do to fire up your enthusiasm for the next stretch?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm iona guess we can let you off,if dd really has cp

i want to see evidence!!!!

NoWay - feel lots of sympathy for you because weren't you ill a couple of weeks ago too?

x-post kwazii and collision - hello!!

WW pp seems to work better for some than others - I personally really enjoy the buffer that the weeklies give me as I found myself becoming slightly food obsessed on the old points system (when am I going out? how many extra points will I need? Which days shall I save them from, i.e. on which days am I going to starve?)

I lost 2st on the old plan, put 8lbs back on last year, and have lost 12lbs since the second week of Jan this year. Only 3lbs off goal which I want to get off before a wedding in May, so a bit of time.

I am on week 3 and have so far lost 7lb so I am pretty pleased.

First week was like a monk, hardly used any of my weekly allowance. Second week - less so used a lot more of my weekly, mainly on wine!

Still finding my way, but I hav a few top tips that are working for me.

Stop eating bread - not worth the points!

Cooked new potatoes are great to have about in the fridge - 100g at 2 pts is a lot. Great in salad. Much better point wise than rice/ pasta for salads at

Sainsburys Greek Salad cheese 1/3 of the pack only 3 pts and tastes good (great for lunch salads)

Miso soup - 0 pts I buy the box with 5 sachets, a lifesaver when you want something saviourly

Meringue nests - 1 point and a real treat. I eat with a cup of coffee or cover with berries.

2 poached eggs and crumpet for breakfast - fab and filling and only 6 pts.

What I have yet to discover is a really tastly low fat fruit or plain yougurt. Tried the 0% Total Greek but didn't like it.

Been trying to find a good 2 pt pudding - been searching for Mini Cornettos (don't seem to exist) Fab ice lollies are just not doing it for me!

x-post hmc - yip, had sinusitis a couple of weeks ago and now have tonsillitis.

Sat in Dr chair today with head in hands going "will I ever be well again?"

He said, "probably not, not with the nursery-aged child!!"

Basically, it's a lose-lose, as every time I'm sick, my immune system is compromised, and when it's compromised, then I pick up stuff easier, which totally isn't fair!

Everyone keep an eye out for a runaway WW wagon with a blonde and a NoWay hanging off the back of it.

Skinny Cow icecream lollies are only 2pp iirc. Also, Muller Light yogs are also only 2pp and a yummy dessert option if you go for interesting flavours like vanilla with dark chocolate sprinkles.

Should have added that I am also trying to avoid artificial sweetners where possible. I can really taste them in the Muller Yogurts - fussy I know!

i love the vanilla with choc sprinkles, its less cals then the toffee one
