Someone explain new weight watchers plan to me in a nutshell...

[MummysHappyPills]

Used to do it years ago when it was just point counting. But I gather it has changed?

Just bought a 3 month subscription on groupon but haven't got the voucher yet so want to know what I'm letting myself in for!

5:2

how you getting on happypills........ im like you it wasnt alot to pay, but it is making me more focussed on my eating habits....

i hope to lose 1 stone before offer runs out and then depending on how i do i will stop paying...

Not too bad! Will be going over on points today again as I plan to have some wine, but I have plenty of weekly points and 10 activity points as I went out for a couple of runs!

Just went shopping at aldi near my uni and fruit and veg there is so cheap! Usually shop at sainsburys which is ££££!

How are you getting on?

im on the wine too......but no point left for today just weekely points... i want chocolate crisp cake .....but will try to resist. got weighted this am i ant lost and ounce

Well an ounce is better than nothing! Give it the full week and I'm sure you'll lose...

I snuck on the scales today but have only maintained... Mind it has only been one day! I've set my weighin day for Monday...

well happypills started out with all good intentions today and its gone to pot........so back to it tomorrow for me.hows u getting on

no point left for today just weekly points
and that is why WW know that the weight will come back on and they will keep making money from you.

PLEASE, please, please come and try 5:2
two days per week - Monday and Wednesday or Monday and Thursday seem most popular
you consume 500 calories (and all calories are counted and all are equal)
the other 5 days a week you eat pretty much what you want.
And each day counts on its own merits.
There are no 'good' and 'bad' foods - it is not possible to fall off the wagon as you just make the next available day a fast day.
The days can be moved if things crop up.

It is mind buggeringly simple
and its free
and its scientifically checked out
and it works (even for husbands)

Thanks talkinpeace, I may look into it after my subscription is up if I still have weight to lose...

Going well thanks! Had a cooked breakfast with lots of mushrooms and tomatoes, then went to Giraffe for lunch - had this lovely salad that had lots of naughty bits like flatbread, but just about managed to tot the points up I think!

So then I made a casserole with beans and lots of veg for tea, which was hardly any points! So yeah, on track just about!

well weigh in day...ive lost 2lb yay.... this is actually normal for me it usually takes 3 weeks for me to lose more that 2lb, but i am more than happy.

the 5:2 sounds interesting, but im not sure i would manage on 500 calories a day.... still i never say never, ill see how this subscription goes 1st..

God I just cannot imagine trying to survive on 500 calories twice a week. That's just would not be a sustainable thing for me AT ALL. WW worked fine for me before, and I am sure it will work again now post meeting hubby and gaining two babies. Lost 12lbs already. Not aiming for the stars here (ie 9st) be dead happy if I got to 10st 5lb or so.

Hey belle, how goes it? I have lost 3lb in just over a week, which isn't too bad considering I was already dieting when I started. Plus, I am really noticing it in my clothes, I bought a pair of size 12 jeans today! And they were Levi's so no vanity sizing either I suspect. Very chuffed!

How you getting on? I have decided to quit drinking til Xmas. It is my biggest downfall. Last night I used up all my weekly points on wine!

Oh and congrats on your loss btw. Think I must have missed that update somehow!
