Well done
That is brilliant. It just goes to show that if you get a result (or 4) on the scales that you don't deserve/expect but you continue to persevere, you will see the results you deserve. Great loss

Thanks Girls!! Delighted! The boyfriend is also down 9lb in the same time! He hasn't much to lose so thats amazing!!

Hi folks,
I have been on the missing list from here for weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks now! Between one thing and another I have been up and down in the motivation stakes....
I haven't been to class in 4 weeks but im going back tomorrow. At my last WI I was 10st 1.5lb, so I had got within 8.5lb of my goal. Like I said I have been really good some days and reeeeeeeeeeeeally bad others. A look at my scales over the weekend and I was flopping between 10st 1 & 10st 3lb... this morning I was 10st 2lb... Going to be really good today and tomorrow and hopefully I will STS, which i would be delighted about.
Exercise has been non existant bar a few short walks so that is definitely back on the menu in the Ali Household tonight.....
I may have lost my motivation a little but I have never been so close to goal before and I really don't want to throw the towel in now.
33lbs down 8.5 to go!!!!
Welcome back Ali, thats great that you are so close to goal! keep it up now and you will have that precious gold card before you know it! 0 -

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker of this thread and have finally decided to join in as its so motivating to read about everyones tips and weight losses! This is my THIRD attempt at ww in three years, I'm always super motivated during the summer but when I go back to college I go completely off the rails.. I joined last week and had my first WI today-was down 1.5lb which I'm happy enough about as when I did WW last summer (my first time doing propoints) it was a disaster. Something I have been wondering though-did anyone else feel that the old programme had more of an effect at the very beginning? I lost 5.5lbs on my first week of the old programme and lost 13lbs in 4 weeks. For some reason I feel like the weight loss will be much slower for me on PP which I don't mean is a bad thing, I'm just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience to me?
Anyways sorry for the rambly post, can't wait to start following this thread properly! 0 -
I'd like to say briefly that WW is the only thing that's ever worked properly for me and would recommend it highly to anyone who is wondering. It seems overwhelmingly complex at the start but it's worth it. It is the only plan on which I've had worthwhile sustained weight loss !
I tried many of the other faddy diets and always always I lost a pile of weight and put more than I'd started with back on. I wasted 6 years of my life trying multiple times to follow Atkins especially !
On WW I've lost 2st 3lbs from start weight, 19st 6lbs down to 17st 3lbs, 3 stone to go 0 -

Hi reeny, I slightly agree with you I found it v frustrating when the pp came in, I was doing really well on the old plan and found that my weight loss slowed down big time.
But having said that I do prefer the pp now. I had a lot of quick fixes on the old plan, and though I was sticking rigidly to my points I wasn't doing it in the healthiest way. I think with the pro points plan the focus is really on healthy eating, and it really encourages you to eat more "natural" foods, and it definitely encourages you to cook more foods from scratch rather than pre prepared things. Which was a big adjustment for people at the start.
My weight loss on this plan has been slower but I'm definitely a LOT healthier on it0 -

I hit a major plateau between 11 10 and 12 and was there for MONTHS. I eventually got to 11 8 and my leader had to adjust my goal up one for me because she said I clearly wasn't meant to be much smaller than that. Its so nice to hear simillar stories here because in my class I was one of the only girls with a long way to go from the start. It felt like everyone was getting to goal before me!
My goal was always 10st but right now I think the best thing for me to get back down to 11st 9lbs my previous low and then focus on toning up. I'll never be one of those skinny girls but as long as I'm happy with my weight then I'm ok with that Some leaders I believe place an emphasis on getting to goal asap. My leader recognised that I was a young college student so she said take it one week at a time and to focus on one mini-goal at a time.
I am going to play devil's advocate on the 2 plans! I think that certain aspects of propoints are healthier but it is certainly not a perfect plan and this was proven when WW made the changes. Yes fruit is free but you do have to remember you are still only allowed your 5 a day of fruit and veg. People abuse the points on both plans i.e. eat the junk food rather than the healthy food. I find that it is actually easier to do on propoints because you have the 49 weeklies. I have had friends who are on WW say to me oh I can eat this Dominos because my weeklies will cover it. I am all for having a treat. I think both plans are good plans, it all comes down to how you make the best of your weight loss journey. Some people have really struggled to lose weight with propoints and I was one of them until I stopped using my weeklies and if I had more than 3 pieces of fruit, I pointed them. If I need extra points, I do what we did on the old plan, I save a few points a day and I exercise. I know you're not supposed to carry over points but the logic behind it is the same i.e. you still end up eating the same amount of points at the end of the week.
One thing I have found is that at the end of the day we're all different and our bodies react differently. Its important that we find what works for us in order to lose weight
Just want to add I am in no way anti propoints. I just wanted to offer a different perspective as I do know a few people have struggled with propoints 0 -
I haven't checked in here in awhile. Just finding the summer so hectic! But have been sticking with ww and was down 4lbs this week! Not sure where that came out of as didn't do anything outside of the norm but I'll take it!
Feeling quite motivated at the moment as my slim jeans that haven't fit me in 3 years (and lets face it were stuck to me then!) are fitting really comfortably. So delighted!!
Also finding that keeping a list of mini-goals keeps me on track. As of now:
-1lb = 20% of start weight lost (no sticker but its a milestone for me!)
-3lbs = next silver seven
-4lbs = 50lb cert (!)
-6.4lbs = 12 stone bracket.
I don't know when I was this light before, but I'm guessing it was nearly a decade ago!
I had lost 6lbs on my own before I started weightwatchers last November, so I've lost 3stone 10lbs since the beginning of october! Feeling quite proud of myself but still a ways to go yet.
Just for anyone who's feeling a bit de-motivated and wondering whats the point - stick at it. Just keep doing it through good days and bad and if you fall off the wagon, get back on again. Its just a case of keep trying and it will come! We'll get there!! 0 -
