Bag of Aero Bubbles - 5ppts

Can anyone help me with the following:

Ryvita Original - according to the info on the label it comes out at 1 ppt a slice but in the old system it was 0.5 pt. Is the 1 Ppt a slice correct or is this only because there are no half points in the system and it is 1 ppt for 2 slices?

I know it is probably 1 ppt a slice because the system has changed but I just want to double check.

Missyxx88 · 17-01-2011 4:36pm

Thanks

Missyxx88 · 17-01-2011 4:38pm

Chamade · 17-01-2011 5:46pm

The Feb edition of the Good Food guide has a WW propoints recipe supplement too (It's available now), plus has loads of superhealthy recipes and give the protein, carbs, fat values so it is easy to point.

Hey folks, its been a few weeks since I posted here. Ye all seem to be doing really well which is encouraging. I could only go for two weeks and I lost 5 and a half pounds but then I came down with the flu over xmas which then turned into an horrendous chest infection:mad:. Ended up in hospital for three days and only starting to feel normal now.

However, I've only put on 2 pounds according to my weigh in from today which is really a big relief considering that I havn't been tracking and I still ate all around me! Just goes to show that its very doable even if you're not tracking.

I got that horrible flu over xmas aswell and was left bedbound with sinus infection and a bucket load of antibiotic. It was horrible! But recharged my batteries and i'm back on track with vengeance! Exercising, eating right, drinking water!

The sinusitis is the worst bit of it though the sudafed nasal spray helps. Be careful of getting conjunctivitis:eek:...thats going around too and most of the people at work have it. I was talking to my boyfriends dad (hes a GP) and he said he's getting a lot of people in with both sinusitis and conjunctivitis since xmas. Just thought I'ld let ya know.Well done for keeping going!

Vickysg24 · 17-01-2011 7:43pm

HOw can I work out how many Pro points I'm allowed each day?? I know someone said you need to have a private consultation to let you know but I really can't afford the 20 euro to go... so is there any other ways I can work it out myself... any help would be much appreciated

rachel · 17-01-2011 8:50pm

Oh yum! that sounds delicious! I'm totally saving this!
I'd tweak it just a tiny bit.
Aldi do already diced ham bits at 2propoints a packet. (saving of 2pp)
And in Tesco you can get a ww creme fraiche 40g is about 2 tablespoons, which is 1pp (saving of 2pp)

Excellent. Thanks for those suggestions, any points saved is great as you well know!

I'd also be interested to hear how those muffins turn out, I'm always on the hunt for breakfast ideas, I find it the hardest meal to prep for.

Tonight I had a very quick and easy dinner to prepare, I used:

1/4 jar Uncle Ben's Chilli Sauce (you could use WW but I prefer this one) 2pp
100g Quorn mince 2pp
1 bag of Tesco microwavable wholegrain rice 10pp :eek:

This was 14 pp in total, I was only going to have half the bag of rice but I started my 20km round trip commute by cycle again today and was starving when I got home so splurged a bit on the rice (and am now only 1pp over my daily allowance and I have plenty weekly & activity points left to counteract that).
If I hadn't been so hungry/in a rush to have dinner, I would have chopped peppers and onions and used those to bulk it out and just used half the rice so you can make this for 9pp which I think is great value

Week 1 down, weigh in tomorrow morning...

if you know someone with a propoint calculator they might be able to work it out using that, our leader said the calculator works out your allowance.

on a seperate note if a food has 60g of carbohydrates of which 17g are sugars do you use the 60g or can you deduct the sugars?

rachel · 17-01-2011 9:00pm

Congratulations on the weight loss. I definitely agree with you in terms of eat what works for you when on a diet.
I started off that way on Weight Watchers but then got so precious about my points, I started making ''healthier'' decisions and even when I fell off the wagon still found myself using skinny milk, quorn & brown pasta/rice. I developed a taste for them all! However, I'll never be much of a fruit eater and that's not something likely to change even if it is 0pp now on the new plan!

Ultimately, the only way to make a diet sustainable is to have it not feel like a diet at all which is why I think the freedom WW gives you over more prescribed diets makes it unbeatable.

It's the end of week 1 for me and weigh in due tomorrow so I may change my tune tomorrow depending on how successful I am!

You count the 60g ie total carbs.

venus11 · 17-01-2011 10:07pm

Can someone tell me how to configure iwatcher I can't use the calculator.

Thanks. I would really appreciate it.

StrawberryJazz · 17-01-2011 10:10pm

Hi everyone

Firstly let me just say this thread is amazing! Quite frankly it's more useful than the Irish weight watchers website which is a joke. Thank you so much to everyone for putting up info and recipes

Secondly, I'm twenty and joined ww last summer at 10'10'' and although I Im two stone down now (secret yay) I've had doubts about rejoining my local meeting. The leader is doing her job but isn't exactly awe-inspiring and as a student, I don't know if I'd be willing to give her E10 a week. I'm fairly tech savey and I think I've worked out this pro points thing but it doesn't feel like I'm on a diet!!! I love fruit and am eating (low fat) icecream and sweet things everyday.
Can this programme actually work? How much weight (on average) can you be expected to lose a week?

Thanks

smileyface1 · 17-01-2011 10:15pm

Welcome StrawberryJazz!!!!

I am still following the old points system just gearing up to learning about the new system really! Planning to do old system for Jan and then try to learn hte new system.

Apparantly you can join the UK WW site for about 12 euro A MONTH!! You just need a UK postcode- bust you can just use a UK hotels postcode for this. Plus you wont be able to buy online. But its way way cheaper!

I found this calculator online
http://www.calculator.net/weight-watchers-points-calculator.html

Everyone here is great and the new system does appear to be working for most people.

Eabhabear · 17-01-2011 10:25pm

Welcome Strawberry. I am relatively new to this thread and I've found it great for inspiration and recipes as well especially if you read back through some of the older posts.

I stayed the same after my first week on pro points because it took me some time to get used to it. This week I feel so much more comfortable with it and I reckon I might be down at my next WI. Other members did have significant losses in their first week of pro points so it does seem to work.

Good luck with your journey!

Well done dottie. Like you say a loss is a loss at least it's .5lb down and not up!!

StrawberryJazz · 17-01-2011 10:36pm

Thanks so much Smileyface amd Eabhabear!

I have a brilliant free app on my android http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/health_and_fitness/wwdiary_bjxv.html which I would really recommend.

I'm really interested to see how this plan works out. Its almost too good to be true...if only Pizza was lower. Desperately trying to come up with a pizza recipe only using egg white, apple sauce, Worcester sauce and vegetables lol:P

smileyface1 · 17-01-2011 10:39pm

Hiya- I posted up a low point ( but old point) recipe for pizzas and they are yummy- its just back a couple of pages!

MTF1 · 17-01-2011 10:48pm

Week 2 WI tomorrow

Getting the hang of the PPs better this week & think I used all 49 weekly points on vodka...lost count as the tracker wouldn't fit in my bag

need some nice handy lunch ideas-that's where I get stuck

smileyface1 · 17-01-2011 10:53pm

Hi MFT1

I love homemade soups with ryvitta's and lots of fruit throughout the day and lot and lots of water!

Big salads are another idea....salad takes so long to eat that your full by the time the plate is clear!

Yummy dressing
Balsamic vinegar
Olive oil
Little pesto

I always add seeds to salalds too- Tesco's do pots of mixed seeds for salads and soups and they are yum!

Thank you! I will try this out very, very soon!

I found this article online explaining the rate of weight loss with the new programme if anybody is interested.
http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/research/diet.htm

It basically says the overall weight loss will be slower but the fat loss will be greater (due to the new emphasis on protein). Good stuff

Lady Lainy · 17-01-2011 10:55pm

I need a bit of help. I'm heading to Spain at the weekend with college crew and I've no idea what I'm gonna eat over there. I know most of them will be living off McDonalds as its the cheapest and handiest option. Does anyone have any advice as to how to control the eating?

What annoys me is I have to miss my meeting on Weds as I have an exam in college and I'm a pound off my third silver seven and I'm afraid when I WI next Weds after Spain I'll be up a few lbs.

Don't worry too much its possible to go away and still maintain a loss. I was away last year twice and came back 3 lbs lighter each time! you just need to remember you're doing this for you and don't let "ah sure you're on holidays" be a mantra!

If you have to go to mcdonalds, maybe get one of their chicken salads (no dressing!), drink plenty of water, and if you're walking round sight seeing sure you're earning activity points

One thing i would recommend is on the first day of the trip go to the supermarket and buy some low point snacks like what you'd have at home, that way you can have them in your bag to stop you running into McDonalds when you get hungry! but don't stress too much, enjoy your trip, you've picked up the skills to manage it in your class.

catcha · 17-01-2011 11:57pm

Hi All, great thread - it's inspiring to hear so many of you are doing so well with your weightloss (and comforting to know I'm not the only one who struggles occassionally)! I just returned to ww for the first time after being away for months, and I'm practically back up where I started. Trying to be positive though - its a new year and a new plan so I'll get there! I like the look of the plan, it seems to encourage eating the right things more (no more choosing chocolate instead of fruit!). My goal is to loose 10 lbs in the next 12 weeks. Good luck during the week.

Thanks dottie. I forgot that McDonalds do salads. Its not something you normally associate with them! That's a good idea about the snacks. I might bring some of my usual snacks with me. It's encouraging to hear that you lost weight after holidays.

Welcome catcha. Forget about before and start afresh now. Your plan is certainly achievable. If you lose 1lb a week you will reach it no bother. Some weeks you may find you could lose more than that. The main thing is to stick with it even on your bad days

The internet is your friend! If it was me i'd be googling the local area to see where the nearest market is the day you get there - can't be hard to convince a crowd of girls to go bargain-hunting! Use that to stock up on fresh fruit and stuff to keep in your room/apartment, so even if you do end up heading for McD's, you can fill up on something healthy before you go (link for McD's nutrition info is somewhere on one of these threads), and have a smaller meal.
Check out restaurant reviews online to see if you can find a cheap restaurant that you can suggest as an alternative to McD's, otherwise just take advantage of the weather to get out and about walking or swimming.
Enjoy the weekend, doubt you'll do as much damage as you think!

Hi all.

Im totally new to boards but Iv been following this thread and I just had to jump in because Iv found it a fantastic help! Im also hoping to get some advice and help from you guys with regards to pointing things as I havent got a calculator and the wheel points finder can be very fiddly.

Has anyone tried any of the M&S 'Count On Us' meals? I bought 3 last night (there was a 3 for 2 offer) Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka & Chicken Lemongrass Curry. Using my wheel points finder I got a points value of 11 propoints for each meal.

However I had to do a bit of rough estimation because on the points finder wheel the protein only goes up to 25 and there were 29 in each portion roughly. If anyone knows exactly the propoints value or even a website where I could find out that would be great.

Best of luck this week everyone x

Hi I've checked online on the food tracker and this is what I found:
Count on us chicken tikka with rice 100grams = 3PP
Count on us chicken tikka masala with rice 400grams = 11PP
There are lots of count on us stuff on here, but not the other ones you bought. If you give me the info per 100grams I will work it out for you.;)

hillyrob · 18-01-2011 9:25am

I found this usful website for checking out food products and there labels.

https://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/FirstTimerWizard/Step1c.aspx

I had dried chickpeas in my cupboard and had placed them in a container so no longer had the label. I found them on here and was able to point them on my calculator. It might help to look up your favorite foods and point them before you buy them.

mickoneill30 · 18-01-2011 9:31am

I've just started doing this and noticed a few posts for iPhone apps.

There's a few free ones for Android too but I've been using this

http://www.appbrain.com/app/ultimate-point-calculator-plus/com.fenlander.pointcalculatorplus

It's not free ($2.99). Tracks your progress, you can put in your favorites, has a calculator if you don't know the points and it has loads of favorites already defined. Has been pretty helpful for me so far.

Thats fantastic! Thanks so much for working those out, I really appreciate it

The wheel is very fiddly to get things 100% accurate

Finely dice the onions and put into a frying pan with some black pepper and spray oil. Cook on a medium heat until the onions are translucent
Into a large pot or slow cooker, put 3 tins of tomatoes, two bags peppers, tables spoon Italian Herbs, 4 cloves of crushed garlic, 2 stock pots. Turn onto a low heat
Finely slice the mushrooms and add to the pot
In a second frying pan, dry fry the mince on a hot heat until browned. When browned add to the pot with the sauce. I usually fry the mince in 4-5 batches depending on size of frying pan.
When you are finished frying the mince pour the wine into the frying pan and cook off the alcohol. When reduced add to the pot.
When onions are cooked add to the pot.
Give it all a good stir and cook on a low heat for 3 hours - or more! This is even better reheated the next day!
