WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread

Welcome to the thread. Try and read the posts as often as you can, great source of motivation and help.
Bottle of coors light is 4PP.
Twisters and Loop the Loop's are 2PP.
Velvet crunch, skips (from multipack), snax (from mulitpack) and meanies (from multipack) are 2PP.
Salt and Vinegar snack a jacks (from multipack) are 2PP and the larger singular ones are 3PP.
Don't know the PP in the cans sorry, but I would assume you could work it out based on the PP for the bottles and a bit of mathematical work.
Don't worry about the amount you have to lose, I have lost 3 stone in 6 months (I know not a lot in the amount of time but happy with it) and I still have 5 stone 8lbs to lose to get to goal. Just think of mini goals, which I think all of us on here do. One silver seven at a time or a bigger goal of the first stone and the next one after that.
Good luck.
Thanks a million for the info!
It's good to know that there is a low-point option for those times when you really want something bad. Tangle twisters will get me through! haha
Another quick question....bread. Are most WW people avoiding it altogether? Or is there a certain type that is way lower in carbs than others?
With the old WW program the Pat the Baker bagels were great at just 2.5pts a go. I had a bagel this morning though, and felt it wasn't really worth the whopping 5 pro-points it cost me.
I'll definitely be taking it one smaller goal at the time. I'd love to have 7 lbs gone by the end of my exams at the end of May (5 wks). That is my first mini goal. Obviously I'd love to have 10 or 14 lbs gone by then, but I am saying 7 to be more realistic...0 -
No you don't point your main meals. You just use the healthy filling foods. But you need to make sure that the foods you are using are definitely the healthy filling foods that are highlighted in green in the book.
Then for any snacks or anything else you eat/drink you use your weekly points.
Last night was the first time I heard of this but I think its supposed to have a similar effect to the fast start week on the old plan.
Ah ok, it's like the old core plan. I'm not sure I'd be able to stick to that, you are relying on stopping eating when you are full and having a lot of self control, which I don't!
Knowing my luck, I'd ended up putting on about 5lbs! 0 -

Lost a ridiculous 10 this week!:eek: was expecting maybe 5 because I'm on holidays this week and have walked every inch of the mountain. Makes me a little scared for next week though, really hope it wasn't too much of a false loss. That brings me to 6.5 stone in 6 months. I just keep repeating "this time I'm losing weight for the last time" to myself, it's like my mantra.
WOW!!! That is absolutly amazing, a massive congrats to you, you must feel so great! Whatever you are doing keep doing it! Thats a huge achievment in 6mths. 0 -

The leader said only use it if you really need a change! And the 49 weeklies can be used up very quickly in that situation!
For snacks, time out fingers are only 2pp each but require a lot of self control to stop after one! Also the ww wafer caramel bars are really nice and are 2pp as well.
Micki spirits are 3pp for each 35.5ml.0 -
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to this thread. Decided to join WW on Tues. I joined it a few years ago and successfully lost about 20lbs to get past goal...but over the years I have regained those 20lbs...plus about 2 stone more. Eeek!
To get into the healthy BMI range in the ww book I need to lose about 3 stone. Yikes!
Anyway...I was hoping you might be able to help me point some foods/drinks?
I am still getting used to the new points system, so am unsure which foods are the best choices at times.
Would anyone be able to point the following for me pretty please:
- 330ml bottle of Coors Light
- 500ml can of Coors Light
- what are the lowest pro point crisps and snacks?
- are tangle twisters still really low, or are there better alternatives?
It probably sounds like I am just worried about junk food, but that isn't the case at all. I find it easy enough to choose low point foods for lunch and dinner etc. It's just when I get to a shop and am peckish and am with friends who want to get an ice-cream, I'd like to be prepared by knowing the best "bad" choices, if that makes sense?
Any other "bad" foods that are reasonable enough in ProPoints?
I'm thinking of making the Fritata from the WW book today. Anyone tried it before?
Sorry for all the q's!
I'm hoping to be on here alot, as reading all the posts is great motivation.
Here's to week one!
according to the shopping book 300ml of coors is 4pp
the alcohol is really difficult to point as the labels dont give all the info need but your leader may have a chart with them on I know mine does
Super splits are only 2pp
twisters are also2
solero's are3pp
calippo shots are 1pp
For chrisps i get the satin crunch in Aldi for 2pp or if out and about tayto snax 2pp
Curly wurly is 2 pp and a penguin is 3pp a full crunchie is 5pp the little dairy milk with the cow on it is also 3pp
Welcome aboard and good luck with the programme everyone here is so helpfull0 -

I'll find the details in my books at home and post it then. I remember it distinctly because I'm on maintenance and if you use that option you can have 90 weekly points instead of 49 so it's really handy. It would be very boring without the weekly points though, but so very healthy - if you think about it fruit, veg, lean meat, fish, plain potato, brown rice/pasta - you'd never have a bother if you could eat like that all the time.
I have my books and I am looking, I can live on that... Can you do it every second week?? I am super intrigued Thanks! 0 -
