WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread

Feeling a bit sorry for myself, but only have myself to blame. My scales are showing a gain of 2lb
Haven't tracked the last few days and attempted to write down all what I ate/drank and looks like I have gone over my PP and weeklies by approx 40PP
And I think I left my mp3 player in the hotel Was all ready to go for 5km walk and then ripped the flat apart looking for it and now totally demotivated and don't have time to go for one now as going for Easter dinner with my mum in an hour.
So after today, only have Monday and Tuesday to get back on track which I don't think will be enough to balance the scales. Really don't want to see a gain, any tips on what I could do? Going to go for 5km walk tomorrow. Was going to attempt the 20 minute jog of couch to 5k on Tuesday but am thinking I might do another 5km walk, would that be better? Also going to try and just eat 29PP (out of my 33PP) for Monday and Tuesday...
Ugh, I need to get back in control!!
RING THE HOTEL! I WOULD DIE WITH OUT MY MUSIC0 -
Happy Easter everyone... to those who are having an egg enjoy and those who are not be strong.. I was given a lindt chocolate bunny 200grams 30pp:eek: it worked out at so gave it to my niece, instead im having 2 malteaser bunnies and cheese and onion taytos Yummy:D cant wait...
went shopping yesterday, spent a fortune (opps:o) but more importantly was down a size:D so happy so done a huge clear out this morning and got rid of everything thats to big for me:D... Happy out:D...
hehe i did that too this week, while my mum is away...washed and ironed my whole wardrobe....threw out all the stuff thats too big on me...cos it just makes me look even BIGGER! lol there's been a few times recently where i've had to throw stuff into the dryer to kinda shrink it a lil to make it fit better :O
Got out last years maxi dresses, great thing is...even if you drop/gain a size they still fit....but wow they are just hanging in me SO much better than they were last year
must get shoes....i refuse to buy new clothes at the moment....but i cant deny my self shoes :P 0 -
Thanks Lil Kc I had to finally bite the bullet and lose weight it's definately not easy!!! Just have to work on the exercise now as well and get fit. I would not be a huge fan of chocolate, crisps would be my downfall!!! Not a huge drinker either my DH always calls me a cheap date haha!!!
Oh god you're lucky then cos all of those things are my downfall! Well getting the food side of things correct i.e.: planning, pointing and tracking first was the best thing for me and then about a month into it I got on board with the exercise. Its always about small changes for me anyway and then once i get used to a new change ill make another one. Also variety in foods is really important, I know I got used to having the same foods all the time and got very bored very quickly and started picking again. I'm sure you know all that from your classes anyway

Hi guys I am two weeks into Weight Watchers and so far I have lost 9lb:D and I am delighted with the results so far. Have been reading over some of the posts and I love the recipes. Can't wait to try them. Everyone is doing so well so far, I hope you don't mind me joining in. I think this might keep me motivated as I am doing the WI at home my DH does this every Tuesday morning as I don't think I would be motivated enough to do it myself. Hope everyone is having a great Easter
welcome on board! today i think will be mostly about chocolate. lol
this thread is great! I'm doing it from home too so this is my meeting...except its 10 times better than a meeting
This is a spreadsheet that GT_TDI_150 did out with all the recipes :Dplenty to keep you go
No easter egg for me...but i will be digging into a few skinny cow ice creams letter

My easter egg is staring at me. Seriously. Through the cupboard door.
I've left weeklies for it, but I don't want it until later.
Roasting a chicken later, lots of veg and a few spuds, if I roast them in flora light do I only have to count the points in the potatoes and the flora? I think that's a stupid question but I want to be sure 0 -

Thanks a million Lady Lainy I'd say this will also become my meeting there is great support on this from what I can see. I am putting together a recipe folder so thanks for the recipes:D.0 -
AH see Lainy I'm not a fan of lucozade at all so I do the water! Yes you are learning Now go study...
Misslt yup that's all you have to point - spuds and butter, if you add some salt, pepper, garlic and balsamic vinegar and roast on high they are fab
I'll post a 0pt Butternut squash and leek soup later when I'm on my laptop
Monife I'm not sure about pulling back on the points, I would but though you're not meant to

Hi Lainey,
Just to say, there is no way that you are putting on muscle. To put on noticeable muscle you need between 300 and 1000 mg of testosterone per declitre of blood. Most men have 500mg per decilitre.
Most women have 50mg - a heck of a lot less.
Second, even strong men who work out hard can only manage to put on 1lb of muscle PER MONTH.
Third, they generally eat 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight, and eat about 100 calories of surplus per day.
You aren't getting that much protein, you're eating at a deficit, you're not doing hard weights (I really mean hard here), and your testosterone is insufficient to put on any noticeable muscle because you're a woman, not to mention all of the other factors....
I think it's good that people know this, cos u often hear "ooh I must have put on muscle since I joined the gym two weeks ago, I'm heavier." If it was that easy we would all look like Schwarzeneggar.
I hope you don't take this post wrongly.... you are doing BRILLIANT work with your weight loss. But muscle growth ain't happening
This is really good information to know! I didnt know this, that's that excuse out the window now when i kill myself exercising and only lose 0.5lb 0 -

i'll be on prepay so wont be going that fancy..that phone is about 400 euro prepay,
looking at the sony ericsson x10 mini pro €179 on o2 prepay, or €113 sim free on ebay from the uk
Tip for ppl: Never buy mobiles outside europe on ebay. Less consumer protection! (i speak from experience) UK & Germany are best countries i've found for buying electronics 0 -

I may not have any chocolate...but dear god i'm going to enjoy this malibu and diet coke i just poured my self!
You totally deserve it! Congrats on not having any chocolate, maybe have a cry, it helps I never liked it with coke but I LOVE LOVE it straight or with pineapple juice If I lost weight from study I'd have been a rake this time last year
I may have eaten a bit too much, but I'm not going to beat myself up, i'll take the slow approach 0 -
Have been so good all day but can feel my willpower dwindling by the minute Made the nicest dinner today, pork steak wrapped in parma ham, potato bake (no cheese tho), salad with corguettes. Had a piece of my mam's lemon meringue pie. Then went to the in law's and resisted the nicest choc cake ever - seriously it looked devine! I had no Easter Eggs, but have come back from the in laws with THREE to add to the OH's two so now FIVE in the house and I really want chocolate now Have 43 weeklies left, but don't want to open an egg coz I know it will be unleashing the inner demon in me Will try and wait a bit longer.
Defo going for a big long walk tomorrow, took today off, but will be back on the exercise tomorrow!0 -

What about Lindt? For the first year ever, my work gave every employee a Lindor Easter Egg - of all the years, they had to pick the one where I'm trying to lose weight I just told the OH that he needs to get rid of the eggs out of the house asap 0 -

Happy with that!!
Although I think I might have had a false loss last week, the morning i weighed was the morning I had my dizzy/weak spell(followed by an upset stomac ...) I have a sneaky feeling that next week will make up and but me back a lbs or 20 -
Hope everyone had a nice day today! Easter Sunday has been non-existent for me what with study it feels like a normal day. I banned easter eggs from the house this year (brothers were not happy). I did however get myself a little lindt chocolate egg, the one with the red wrapping. They're only 5 propoints Only went over my dailies by 2 points!! Having our proper family easter dinner tomorrow, lamb and all the trimmings. Just gonna have zero point soup and save my points for that. Portion control will be my problem.
Feeling very positive atm. Took a sneak look at the scales today and was down by about 2 lbs (have non-digital scales). But it is definitely down so I feel like I'm finally back on track. And that's all with no exercise so really hope that when I get back exercising this week that it will give me a further boost!!!0 -

Woohoo lainy, love getting new phones
Okay as my meeting is meant to be tonight I'm going to go tomorrow morning instead.
It might show a false loss but I can cancel it out next week.
I should be okay doing that shouldn't I?0 -

it wouldn't be false loss...its a real loss. but i say maybe have breakfast really early before few hrs before your meeting if possible...so at least your body will be in similar condition to what it would usually be at an evening meeting...
where you prob would have eaten during the day. just to balance it out.
New phone is a non food reward....before ww if i had a tough day, i used to have the mentality of ooooh i deserve a nice treat now...i'll have nice big chicken curry dinner and have pringles and chococlate later to relax....
but now my rewards are.....oooooh i think i'll treat my self to a few songs on itunes....or a new pair of ear phones....
but this 3 stone mark is a big celebration...i been fighting with my body trying to get 3 stone for so long...i had hit 2 and half stone last summer before the platue and the college gain of a stone :O0 -

what kinda music do you like? where are you walking? is it safe to be listening to music...where i live its too dangerous to have ear phones in cos you cant hear the traffic, so i use the treadmill that way i can zone out to my "happy place" ...which is a night club dancing and drinking with friends :P

Ugh. I fell off the wagon with a major bang this weekend. I'm not even going to bother listing what I ate (stopped tracking on Friday night) but needless to say, I'm WELL over my weeklies, by dozens if not more. I got that "well I've been this bad so I might as well keep going" attitude. Disgusted at myself
I also have my sister's wedding on Friday so it's going to be a looong weekend of celebrations. I don't think I'm going to bother with my WI tomorrow cos I'll possibly be up again next week. I'm just going to work my ass off until the wedding and even then, try to make good decisions over the weekend to try and undo some of the badness of this weekend.0 -

Hey don't beat yourself up over it, after all we do need to live too,and remember its probably nothing compared to what you would have eaten before joining ww.ibarelycare wrote: »Ugh.

However I would go to your meeting, you might be pleasantly surprised, and it will keep you on track until next weekend. Try to drink lots of water and plenty of fruit between now and your wi if you do go, and do a bit of exercise. All is not lost
