Hi again, just had a read through the first few pages of the thread, and just wanted to say, for anyone doing WW old system, I would highly recommend trying propoints. I did WW on and off for 10 years, by myself, stuck to it very rigidly, and did lose weight, but found it hard to maintain. I never went to meetings, just had all the books at home.
In Nov 2010 I joined WW officially, with some of the other schoolmums. It was when Propoints first came out. In my personal experience: Propoints, once you get used to it, is much eaiser to stick to, and the 49 bonus points are great. The fruit being zero points is great too, as all I have to do is count points for 3 main meals a day as long as I only eat fruit in between, which I do mostly.
I also found going to a meeting helped, well, tbh, I didn't often stay for the meeting as I felt motivated enough, but the public weigh in, and even just wanting to please your leader, is a big motivational factor.
I was 10st 7lbs in most of 20's, crept up to 12st 7lbs after birth of DD1, managed to get back to 11st 4lbs after DD1 and then DD2, but just got stuck at the 11 stone mark. Since starting propoints, I got to 9st 11lbs after 5 months of doing it (my goal). Got Gold membership, which is also a massive incentive to keep the weight off, cos you get free lifetime membership.
I go to WI's about once a month, to keep me on track, and at times like just before christmas, I go weekly, to keep me even more on track.
Anyway, sorry to harp on, just trying to be a bit motivational if I can be
