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

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Welcome one and all to our 7th 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 have lost an amazing amount since jan 2011

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

Oh, sorry dandy forgot to say...

I find online works well for me, but i know a lot of the lovelies on this thread find the meetings to be a good motivation and kick up the bum. Just depends on what works for you. If you can't do meetings, though, then online isn't lacking in anything, it's just a different offering.

Also, not hungry all the time on WW - find you can eat a great deal actually! Especially filling up on 0pp fruit and veg, or low pp carbs like ryvita.

morning all.
noway you just need a toilet visit

I am reporting a 2.5lb loss. I'm really pleased as thats 5.5lb lost in 2 weeks, so well on my way to completeing my summer challenge

yay... so pleased 3.5lbs loss this week very pleased and think im on track for my june challenge although cant quite remember what i set!

oh and it took me down to the next stone bracket... ive been trying to get into the 11's for weeks!!

Well done Vnmum and Benbon.

Nipping on while I am at work.. a colleague has asked if there are any ways of converting old WW recipies to PP? Does anyone know of a convertor, or an easy way of doing this ?

Hello, I'm new to this thread but desperate for some urgent help. I joined WW about 6 weeks ago and in my first week, lost 5 lbs, 2nd week onwards about 1 to 1.5 lbs per week and this week, gained 1.5 !!!!

I really need to loose about 2 stones by end of September and dont know what to do. Have just started going to the gym, not sure if that would help.

I've been sticking to my 29 dailies and eating about half of my 49 weeklies but it dosent seem to be working as well as I would like.

Feel extremely demotivated and depressed !! Can you please help with some tips. I'll be extremely grateful

i think the main key to good weight loss with ww is exercise especially if you dont have lots of stones to lose... ive been doing it since feb and have lost 3st 2lbs and for the first couple of weeks just followed the diet. once i added exercise weight loss picked up,i do notice slow losses if i dont exercise!!! im now a stone away but managed to lose 3.5lbs this week and it is defo down to exercise. 20-30 mins 4-5 times a week

Hello, I'm doing this too. Does anyone know the pp value of a medium sized grilled pork chop?? I can't seem to find this on the system at all! Thanks

well done benbon
wizzler some of the cookbooks were converted and can be found on the website. Otherwise it is a case of painstakingly putting the recipes in the recipe builder on the website
olivetti i'm afraid i don't know but could you weigh it raw and work it out as pork, raw, for instance

2lb loss this week so happy. I'm going to the pictures tonight. Does anyone know how many pps in popcorn?

Well done benbon getting into the 11s.

I do think losing a lot in the first week can then affect how you feel when you gain at a later date. At my meeting this week there were 2 people who were newbies and lost 7.5lb in their 1st week. One of them didn't look like she had much to lose. I don't think that can be 7.5lb of fat i think that's water etc so you have to take a look at the whole picture. As was said recently it's a marathon not a sprint.

well done whiter

DH took me shopping today as he was fed up of seeing me in clothes that were too big, so we hit next and i came out with a pair of jeans and 2 tops all in a size 10! The feeling from that is fab and is actually stopping me from wanting to spend my weeklies on rubbish.

Wow! vnmum size 10 well done.

Way to go you skinny minx vnmum

I am secretly aspiring to size 10... size 12 atm but jeans fairly roomy, so who knows...one day soon

one day very soon probably hmc. My 12's were roomy but didn't think i was slim enough yet for a 10 but I was, so you never know until you try

Well done vmum - no wonder you are inspired to careful with your points, that is great going.

sorry havnt been on here for a while, i will try and name check but sorry if ive missed out anyone

'cracks fingers and starts typing'

whitershade well done

Hi all just joined here and found this so glad.
Joined weightwatchers 7 weeks ago and have lost 11 and a half pound.
I do find it easy apart from when im having a down day.
Looking to lose quite a few stones i have seen a big difference already when buying clothes in same size and had to take back as too big lol.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
We can do this.
:o

vnmum - WOW! Size 10! I can't begin to imagine how fabulous that must feel. Congratulations.

I'm now comfortably wearing a size 18 in most things which I'm sure will sound huge to most of you, but I used to be a size 24 - 26 so to me, it's tiny!

Littlefish - size 18 doesn't sound huge to me - that was me at the beginning of January!

What size are you now hmc?

vnmum- I'm so but pleased for you. I have not been size 10 for 30 years Maybe by the end of the year I will make it. I am a 14 ,almost a 12 atm.
Blondes- you need to eat full stop atm,it is always difficult for people when they have have a very emotional time< un MN hug>
hmc- blimey almost 4 clothes sizes down in 6 months ,thats amazing
Littlefish - you're doing so well 4 sizes down as well.
My leader warned me that my blowout at the ball may catch me up next week, but I will be happey to STS tbh. 10 lbs to goal so will not let myself lose heart.

Littlefish - size 12 now, so I guess that will be you by Christmas!
Thanks herding
Blondes joining herding in the a-hugging and the a-squeezing. Don't be hard on yourself x

Meant to say - welcome joanneNDubz and well done on your first 11lbs!
