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 :)

okay have answered my own question - think I need to go to bed now

Well done willaby and hmc on losses!

vnmum we sound like the same person! Same height, same fine size, same Dr Whatshisface true weight!

fine bone size, even.

well done willaby

was just curious about the bacon because its shows medallions not rashers IYSWIM
I want one of those calculator wheel things nifty, how much are they?
I've worked out about 36 out of 48 points i've used, been a bit greedy today tbh stuck in :(

had a glass of wine just one not even a half glass, usually mine are mega :)

night all

just did my true weight 13st 5lbs :O what! I wanna be 10 :(

Morning all. Am on phone so can't catch up properly. Well done Willaby and HMC on your losses. Am hoping to join you as have WI this morning but am a bit nervous as have eaten all weeklies and 20 of the 30 activity pointsI logged. So am eating breakfast and have gone for the most filling but weighing fairly light thing I could think of. Will report later.

I did the Dukan true weight thing, can't remember exactly but it put me roughly a stone over my goal, so a stone over top of BMI range for my height.

I'm 5ft 6 so 9st 4 is pretty slim for me but in fairness I have ickle hips and skinny legs so I just need to shift this stone of Lard on my belly!
I'm hopeful of a decent loss this week, next week is PMS coupled with school hols so anything could happen!!!
Going to try and be good today- all weeklies have gone have only had 3 exercise PP all week ( bad back, buggered Achilles)
So to lose will be mind bogglingly weird!

morning all

my true weight is 10/7 - i will struggle to get it there, let alone keep it there

That Dukan fella looks shifty to me!

I did my true weight a few weeks ago and it was more than my ww target of BMI=25. So I ignored it. I agree hmc (how's your head?) he looks dodgy. Someone at work has lost about 5st I think on Dukan, was sitting next to him at partners meeting the other day and he ate a load of crisps and the cheese out of a sandwich. So it's a healthy diet then! I'd been virtuous and eaten before the meeting so I wasn't tempted.

Well done willaby and hmc on losses!

I had WI this morning and sts - first time and I'm on week 10 so I'm OK with that, plus TOTM.

Back from WI, 3.5lbs off for me this week so flipping delighted. Very, very shattered from all the exercise but feels worth it so will get my lardy arse back in pool tomorrow morning and make sure I do some crawl as it definitely pushes me a lot more. Got into 14 stone bracket and am 1lb off 4 stone. F

Sorry ClairedeLoon, didn't see you there. Glad you're OK with your WI result, think you've done really well to get this far with out a STS, I managed one on week 2 !

Wynken 3.5lbs off is great well done!

well done claire on sts

wynken fab loss

Well done wynken on loss and on getting into new stone category. Claire glad you're glad you've sts!

I think we should all ignore shifty Dr bloke and his "true" weight. I think his playground scientific method of working out true weight involves taking the least we've weighed and the most we've weighed and randomly choosing somewhere in between. And what's with recommending a weight that's still over BMI 25? Surely that should be everyone's aim at least - to get into the healthy range?

Anyway, rant over. Have had a strawberry and banana smoothie for breakfast (on the recommendation of you lovely ladies) as well as a boiled egg. Don't really fancy anything else, so will just pick at food as and when I get a bit hungry.

Also did a cheeky (one day early) weight check and it would appear I'm the same as Friday's WI, which makes sense when you consider the huge amount I ate and drank over the weekend, and my illness counteracting that.

Good luck for any more WI's today!

wynken that is fab, you are doing so very well

I think that true weight thing may be faddy tbh

lasy year from tyhe gym I was told 12st was good for me

5'9/10 with size 9 feet big bone structure. I hate having to say it irl coz people thing its an excuse for weight, the 2 things are different though.

I see many 'skinny people' who clearly have big frames

Congrats wynken

Sue - i have a big frame too, height 5ft 8/9 and size 8 feet (very broad too - can't wear many styles of shoe)

CDL - head is fine, thanks for asking , think you are right to be philosophical about an STS after having lost consistently for the preceeding 9 weeks. All being well you'll get a good loss next week

Noway -well done on forcing down brekkie

Wynken - great loss, well done!

My WW leader was talking about easter egg choc last night - apparently it contains 3x the amount of regular sugar (the additional sugar acts as a preservative for easter egg choc as they are manufactured months in advance). She gave us a sheet with pp values for many easter eggs if anyone is interested...

Meant to type '3x the amount of sugar than regular chocolate'

I'm lucky :-)
I don't like chocolate or sweet things much!
I do like cream though ESP on meringues I can binge on them

Hi all, well done wynken that is a fab loss and claire glad you are ok with a STS

I have to report a 1.5lb Gain. I'm not surprised, i have been off the wagon for a number of weeks and think it may well have finally caught up with me plus i have an impending AF(was due yesterday, getting all the pains but no actual AF yet) so i think that could be contibuting to it.

hmc that is really interesting about the easter egg choc, how sneaky of the manufacturers. You would just think to calculate the PP for x grams of dairy milk say, when you would actually be eating alot more

Forgot to detail food for today!
Shredded wheat and semi skim 5 PP
2 choc ch cookies 3PP

Spiced pork fillet on salad with yoghurt dressing 8PP

Pitta pizzas with chargrill peppers, ricotta and pepperoni, 9PP
And salad.

im off out on a 21st tommorrow night im saving my pro points for then is this a good idea

had no pro points this week

Sue I hope you mean no weekly points and not no pro points - would hate to think you'd been surviving on fruit, veg and water :o

vnmum sorry about your gain, are you all motivated to climb back on the wagon now?

hmc tell me that Lindt gold bunnies aren't extra sugar? I've bought DP a small Lindt gold bunny egg as didn't want him to miss out all together but will take it off ocado order if it does contain extra sugar!

With regard to build I have a tiny build, slim wrists, ankles, ribcage, very skinny feet etc which makes it even more embarassing I had got to the weight I had. I've never hidden behind the big build excuse I am slight with way way too much padding :o
