Weightwatchers

[Beccarollover]

Post about all things weightwatchers here......

you can save some points but its not loads. Excercise points can be redeeemed whenever. The excercise has to be abnormal - if you always do it (or did when yu were fat) you cant count that

think its 2/4 - no you dont have to eat them

I've got quite motivated reading this thread and hearing about all your success. I'm thinking of joining WW online but before forking out £49 I'd really like to know if anyone is doing it this way and if they think it is worth the money. Paying up front would give me another reason to stick with it but I'm not terribly clear what I'm getting for the money. I need to lose at least 2 stone. Can anyone recommend the online version?

hi everyone just wanted to tell you all I have been trying to do weight watchers for ages but not really succeeding on my own, so I am taking the plunge and joining a class tomorrow with my neighbour she has lost 5 stone in a year, I will let you all know tomorrow my weigh in and how much I have to loose.

Thanks Hula, have just emailed you.

allegra think cd reckoned it wasnt as godod as the classes. I would recommend them

Oh dear, I don't do any abnormal exercise!

I've just won a starter pack on Ebay so its all systems go here! I officially started yesterday and have lost 1 lb already! I love the first week - its so encouraging.

I have to admit I'm struggling keeping to 18 points though I was spoilt when I was breastfeeding - I could have 24 points!

Demented:

You can gain up to 12 points a week through exercise; up to you whether you use them for extra food/drink points. If you don't then you may lose weight quicker. You can only save points for up to 7 days at a time.

You can save up to 4 points a day for up to 7 days. I often save up 2-4 points a day if I have a big weekend coming up where I want to drink and eat more. I just eat lots more sald during the week

Thanks Hulababy, today is my first proper day and I have had 8 points already. Does anyone know how many points are in a Milkyway? This is the only chocolate we tend to have in the house, I buy them for the kids but end up eating most of them myself (shhh don't tell them).

I think I will try not to eat any points I gain from exercise but it is always handy to know they are there in case I need to use a couple of them, emergencies etc!

Don't know choccy points sorry. I avoid chocolate now cos I can't just have one. DD has some fudges in the fridge and it drives me mad when I open the door

Further down is says that a curly wurly is 2.5 points so maybe aorund that amount maybe?

Demented - there are 1.5 points in a funsize (17g) milkyway and 2 points in a standard (26g)

I am about 5ft 5in and weigh about 10st 7lb in the mornings when I wake up. I've always thought I look kinda ok but reading this I am quite overweight I must be kidding myself! Can someone tell me what my ideal weight should be please. I am trying to follow ww but not sure how many points I'm allowed each day.

Thanks RexandBen, I'll need to cut down on those then!

magnum this site here may help.

Demented, great site, I know I'm really thick now but are there 13 or 14 lbs to a stone??

14lbs in a stone.

Thanks, i need to lose over a stone then Easier said than done.

Have a yummy soup recipe which is no points - made with Pumpkin (when in season) or Butternut Squash. Mind you having said that you really wouldn't know what vegetable it was made with - it just takes really good.

demented have you got the points claculator piec of card thing?
you can put he sat fat int o it and work it out. read the cals per 110g and sturated fat out and I willl have a look

Thanks Coddy, Per 100g - 449 cals and 16.7g fat, each bar is 26g.

Meant to say, no I've not got the calculator card thing, just a sneaky list of points from you know who.

Week 3 - just got weighed and lost 2 lbs!! Only 14 more to go....

Well done Grommit Told you it'd come off this week. It was all that excercise trekking around Ikea !

Well done Grommit!
