All things WeightWatchers MkIII- *** Mod note- no links to blogs please**

Managed to stay ( mostly) within my points on Saturday night. Dinner party and drinks but then yesterday was a disaster I'm so disappointed with myself I really want a loss on Wednesday. One more half pound and I've to pay again! My clothes are starting to not fit and my belly is back. Trying hard today and tomorrow so fingers crossed

I have to be up this week, I've eaten so much crap and got zero exercise. I might not be able to make my next two meetings as well which is irritating as my meeting is probably exactly what I need right now.

I had a look a couple of weeks ago and none suit with the hours I work. I might make this week's but I'm not sure. For today my plan is just to get my eating back to normal and go for a short walk. I've had a few badly needed days off work and ended up having takeaway twice and Chinese when I was in.Newbridge yesterday... Back on.the wagon now. I'm beginning to think I'll never see goal.

Went to weigh in today even though I felt so sick since yesterday, swollen glands, sore throat, headache and nauseous. I lost 2lb. That's 4.5lb in the last 2 weeks. I'm very happy with that!

To be honest once I am losing each week I'm happy. I think I have learnt from my past weight loss that the key is patience and perseverence when it comes to weight loss.

My heaviest weight was 17.1.
I am now 13.8 and my goal is 10.7. Over halfway there!

I think the gym is really helping as it's the only different think I have done in the last 2 weeks!

Hi folks. New to the board but long time ww. I went from 15st 7lbs at my heaviest to 12st 4lbs at my lightest (was that back in college) now 34. I've crept back up to 13st 7 and my new clothes don't fit anymore so time to get back on focus.

One thing I can't find answers to online or on the app is: I love grilling meat in the oven into a draining tray. My favourite are minced lamb kebabs (the butcher calls them torpedoes). 3 kebabs is 280g roughly of lean minced lamb with some spices etc but nothing else added. When I put in that I get 23 propoints! But as experiment today I measured the fat that drained out and there was 40g of thick hot fat in the end.

So my question is how many points does that represent? If based purely on calories that would be like 360calories which is usually about 9 points.

I'm really confused on this one so any help from anyone who drains fat off mets while grilling would really help?

Ps I only eat them with salad and are so tasty but would rather not have to eat nothing for rest of day when I have them!

Thanks.

Hi Tigger. Thanks for reply. I didn't make that post very clear.

The lamb in the ww app is 23 pro points (a rough guide to calories is 40 per point when stuck) so that would be like you say much higher - something more like 900 calories.

The 360 calories I meant was that apparently fat has about 9 calories per gram, so if I measured 40 grams that drained out, it would be 360 calories of pure fat.

So if I ate the whole portion of mince say without draining, I'd be eating 23 propoints and the 55g of fat like you say.

Just wondering if anyone knows how you can calculate how many points to deduct for all the fat (40g) that drained off?

Cheers for any help!

Thanks Keesa.

I do it online so don't have a leader alas!

Just wondering does anyone else have any experience in grilling meats and what the drained fat amounts to in pro points?

Would it be as simple as if you drain 40g of fat then put that in the ww app and that's 10pp saved out of the 23pp for 280g of raw lamb mince?

I was doubting that cos maybe what drains includes more than fat?

Thanks for the warm welcome. Gosh it was freezing this morning! Still doing well....if I could just stop hopping on the scales it'd be great!

Forgot to say - I lost 2.5lb this week, was dancing around the bedroom afterwards! 4 weeks to my sister in law's wedding and 8lb to lose to be in the next stone bracket. Also currently my lightest in 2014 and not far from my first stone!
