Weight Watchers PP - Rain Rain go away as we are waisting away!

[androbbob]

New thread for us WW devotees.

Blondes is head honcho but is busy showing off her tan.

Me - I am the resident statistician - weekly updates for thread losses.

So jump on in and post away - we are having a summer challenge to keep us on track.

Waves to HHY - wishing you well in your final few pounds - it just shows we are all different as I have tried SW and low carbing but I need the framework of reduced portions to keep me on track - I really need a smaller stomach (inside!) and to lose this pesky sweet tooth - perhaps need to see the dentist

Littlefish - wow you are doing so well!

I can report a 1 lb loss this week - total of 2.5 over two weeks and that is without writing anything down, just cutting down. Promise to track this week and see how I do!

HELP! I need some help from all you wise ladies. I weighed in yesterday and had lost nothing. Nada. Despite taking my points down to 26.

My leader looked at my tracker and said i eat too much unhealthy food - she was fixated on my having Belvita Breakfast Biscuits for breakfast - even though I've been having homemade soup for lunch and we cook every night. I don't eat ready meals or much processed food really. She also said I was having too many carbs and that I needed to completely change my eating habits. I felt like a naughty child and I cried all the way home.

So I am now flummoxed and not sure what I should be eating. Would some of you mind sharing a typical day's food with me? Just to give me an idea?

I've done WW twice before - once, years ago, when I was young and thin and just wanted to look better in my bikini (those were the days) and last year I lost 3st after having my baby. Both times I found it really easy and by week 4 last year, I'd lost 12lb. I'm on week 4 now and I've lost 2lb. I'm not sure if it's me or if it's propoints that's the problem but I'm very upset and need all the help I can get!

Hi Everyone!.
Just popping in to hay hello as I haven't been posting on this thread for a month or so.
Only read the last page or so, so well done to everyone who has lost and an especially big cheer for Littlefish I am really proud of you !

I am keeping on track, at just above my goal weight.

Feel so much better then I did this time last year. I remember shopping in Nov 10 for something to wear for a posh do, and resorting to buying a red velvet jacket to wear with my standard black trousers, as that was the only thing I didn't feel hideous in. To the same "do" this year I wore a size 12 dress in electric blue with oceans of cleavage on display and I felt a million dollars... so anyone who is struggling with motivation.. keep going, it really is worth it!

littlefish - you rock girl you really do

mrs do you honestly track everything? itd not that time of the month? how many weeklys do you eat? do you exercise and if so do you eat those activity points? how much fruit are you eating?
give us those anwsers and we will try to help.
some people on the ww website have reverted abak to old points as it works better for them.
chin up!

Hello, am trying to pluck up the courage to go to my first ever WW meeting today - help!

Have lost motivation with online WW, but am too scared to go to a meeting . What happens, will there be a cringey talk, will I have to be weighed in front of everyone?

Go for it! I joined ww two weeks ago and have lost 7lb so far. I find the weekly weigh in is the most important part, otherwise I can just eat and hide if it haven't lost anything. The meetings very much depend on the leader - I went a few years ago and hated the meetings and didn't bother to stay. The new leader is great, helpful tips on what to eat, how to get the most out of the tools etc and very supportive. I would go along and see how you get on, and if you don't like it try another meeting/leader instead. Good luck

Sorry, meant to add weigh in is private, just you and the leader.

Well. I'm a very, very, very happy fish tonight!

My plan was to lose 2.5lbs in the next three weeks to reach my five stone loss by Christmas.

I'm delighted, actually, ecstatic to report that I've lost 2.5lbs this week and have reached my 5 stone loss!

Mrs Kbpw.

Don't lose heart. The programme really does work.

Here is a typical day's food for me. Bear in mind that I'm on 32 points (although I've just dropped down to 31!)

Breakfast:

Porridge made with semi skimmed milk, plus teaspoon of golden syrup and a banana: (5 or 6 points)

or

2 slices of bread with 50g wafer thin ham (5 points)

or

Muller light yoghurt with crunchy granola, blueberries and pineapple (5 points)

Lunch

Butternut squash soup or Courgette soup (0 points)
2 slices toast with extra low fat philadelphia (5 points)

or

Mushrooms cooked and mixed with extra low fat philadelphia (1 point)
2 slices toast (4 points)

Supper

Chicken breast with jacket potato, veg, low fat creme fraiche (12 points ish)
Beef casserole with cabbage and roasted butternut squash (14 points ish)
Bolognaise sauce with cabbage and broccolli

You get the idea!

Basically, I try and have 2 meals with carbohydrates and one without. I also try and have about 12 points during the day, and the rest in the evening. I prefer to have a big meal in the evening, and divide up my points accordingly.

You really are an inspiration........and to be able to say 'I've lost 5 stone' is just AMAZING, Hope you feel proud, you should be. Fab Achievement.

Well done littlefish that's an amazing weight loss.

I've managed 7lb in 2 weeks, but still at least 3 1/2 stone to go.

Just discovered mashed potato can be done 1/2 and 1/2 with mashed cauli - 1/2 the points and even DH couldn't tell the difference!

Hi everyone. Have been off this thread for a little while and have changed name for Xmas.
Have now lost 13lbs. Started on 24th October. Hoping to lose two stones in total.
Are you all ready for lo-cal Xmas or are you having the holiday off-diet?

Hi all
Little fish you deserve to be proud, well done? I have lost again this week,and I was very surprised after having a chest infection last week and just eating mainly rubbish. I have 4lb to go to my final target, not sure if I will manage it by Christmas, but will try my best.
I am amazed to report as well that I have just realised my cellulite has gone,after years and years! It must be down to this way of eating as I've had since I was about 20. Even when I was nearly as light as i am now .

Well done Little Fish!! You are doing great - the shrinking fish

Hey all!

Haven't been on in a while (have been hovering around goal, sometimes a couple lbs under, now sometimes a couple lbs over!).

Just wanted to come on and say a MASSIVE congratulations to littlefish - you have incredible perseverance and dedication to the journey. You completely deserve your results, well done!!

Big congratulations to LittleFish

Well, I lost 2lbs this week . I am still doing the 29 per day plus using up my weeklies and it is working. Some weeks I don't lose, some weeks I only lose 1lb but hey, I have lost 13lbs since September so it does work.

Try not to lose heart mrskbpw. It might take longer but then your habits will change and you will stick to the healthier eating pattern. You do need to track everything which I find a PITA when you have a busy life. I thought I had had a low points day yesterday but when I totted it up at bedtime, I'd actually had 30 points. I hate the idea of someone checking my tracker like a naughty schoolgirl and that's why I prefer the online version but you do have to be really honest with yourself and write it down scrupulously. FWIW I don't think you get much "value" for those Belvita biscuits. I like a big bowl full of food in the morning. I have a WW yogurt with a weetabix, a banana and some fruit - low points, lots of volume, quick to prepare and less likely to have me reaching for the points heavy buttered toast!

Reporting a 2.5lb loss this week - a total of 5lbs which is good. If I can manage to get to the half stone next week then I will be happy.

Hi

can I join? I've been doing WW PP for 5 weeks now and have lost 15lbs. Hoping to lose another 15 at least.

AIBU to have just eaten a (small) bowl of spaghetti with ham and (very light) cream cheese at this time of the morning?

Afternoon everyone, just popping on to report a1lb loss this week, only another 3 to go and I will start to maintain. I almost think that is going to be harder

Hi, can I join too? I joined WW ages ago and have lost 9 pounds (need another stone) but have lost motivation. I lurk on this thread. :)

I want to get back properly..... and am sitting here with black coffee as I typiclly use 7 points alone on my breakfast coffee!

I am going to visit family in mid-January who live abroad. My DM and my DAunt are OBSESSED with weight and they are always very critical of mine, which is counter productive! If I can lose even half a stone I will be happy. I have a large post-pregnancy belly (people ask me if I am pg) and DC is nearly 2! Plan to cut out stodge also, as i bloat like a puffer fish.

For this week (WI day is Tuesday) I commit to my points, commit to not using my weeklies as I know I have used them up already and I commit to going to the meeting!

have good days everyone!

Does anyone know how many ppoints that you have for no-alcohol beer like Beck's Blue?

Hello all, and welcome to MissWooWoo and redstorm rising.

Redstormrising - 7 points on breakfast cofee????????!!!!!! That's more than I use on my whole breakfast! Ditch that coffee woman. You just need a couple of week's good losses and your motivation will be back. I know that is real chicken and egg stuff, but you need to dig deep, write everything down, weigh everything and you know it will work. You could easily lose half a stone by mid January. I managed to lose 2.5lbs over the Christmas period last year, so it's definitely do-able.

I think we should start to think about Christmas and how we are going to cope with it.

I'm hoping to stay the same this year. It really is do-able. My thinking about food has changed over the last 15 months. For me, this isn't about just losing weight, it's about re-educating myself and changing my eating habits for life.

Christmas is getting longer and longer each year - it seems to stretch from 16th December (when the chocolates and mince pies appeared in the staff room) to 2nd January. Nearly 3 weeks of excessive eating is just ridiculous. I don't want to eat excessively, I want to eat in a way which means that I am still in control. I want to enjoy delicious food at mealtimes, but I really don't need all the accompanying chocolates, nuts, snacks, cake etc.

So, my plan is to eat with enjoyment and awareness. To eat delicious food at mealtimes, but to avoid all the extra stuff.

I know that I will feel happier eating like this, less out of control, and therefore, more stable.

I have long term food issues, and for the first time in my life, 5 stone lighter than 15 months ago, I finally feel like I am starting to understand myself and know how to help myself. There is no way I am prepared to sabotage that with a mountain of chocolates.

What about you lot? What is your plan?

Hi, can I join? I lost weight twice with WW, but that was on the old system. I joined online yesterday and I'm not sure how I'll get on with the new system. It seems that food that used to be a good option is worth a lot more points so I feel like I'm starting again & feel a bit lost.

One big difference is that fruit doesn't count - can you really eat a load of fruit and still lose weight?

I'll start tracking tomorrow. I've got around 9lbs to lose. Last time I lost 2stone, but I'm currently taking medication that makes you gain weight/crave sugar so I'm really doubting whether I can do this. Fingers crossed - I'm currently at the point where I will have to go out and buy some fat clothes if I gain any more and that will.not.happen.

Im jumping on this wagon, I have been cheating on WW for about 4 mths now..and lost in total about 3lb...thats great news isnt it!!

Grrrr....I lack motivation and need a kick up the backside.

So Im here looking for tips and motivation..can you buy them??

Is there any before or after photos on here? Im new on here too
