WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII

Is it not a bad idea to reduce your dailies? I was under the impression that WW set 29pp as the minimum so your body doesn't go into starvation mode and hang onto fat?
WW have made changes to the propoint system over the last few weeks. They were implemented in the UK last week and will be implemented here in Jan if there are no problems in the UK. The main change is that everyone's dailies will be dropped by 3 points so the minimum is now 26. Weeklies are still 49. Its because there have been complaints that people weren't losing on propoints so they're hoping this will rectify it.I couldn't possibly put on 4 and a half pounds of food/bloating in that short amount of time!
A 4lb change during the day is not that impossible. You can drop 2lbs alone after going to the bathroom! In the morning you haven't eaten or drank anything for at least 8 hours and it depends on your clothes as well. You should either take your morning weight or your evening weight but you shouldn't compare the 2 as you're not comparing like with like

I joined WW last week, being 15st 8lbs at my first meeting.

I lost 3 lbs in my first week after trying very hard (long walks, v.healthy food, small portions - but had a blow out at the weekend including a bottle of wine, a chocolate brownie on friday night, and chocolate milk and a chocolate pudding on sat).
I'm eating a big bowl of porridge every morning, made with water, with a banana and a small box of raisins. This totals 5 points and completely fills me up til lunch. I don't even think about snacks, so this is doing me a huge favour.
For lunch today, I had a WW microwaveable pasta chicken thing which was 9 points, followed by a Curly Wurly which is 3.
Daily total so far is 17 and it's 2pm. I will be home at 8pm tonight and usually have a dinner with lots of salad.
My problem is I have 19 points left to use for my dinner - which is ridiculously high? am I doing something wrong? I'm a bit confused... have I been given too many points? am I not eating right? Tips / Suggestions?0 -

I would imagine you could up your breakfast a bit. Do you like yoghurts? Milk? Add in extra protein. Are you counting in the milk you use every day in your tea/coffee?
For breakfast if you used 50g of porridge, 1 tbsp raisins and then possibly a yoghurt, that would be 8
You could have a skinny cappuccino for 2 mid morning.
If your not eating anything between breakfast and lunch you could squeeze in a couple
Lunch if averaging about 12 like you said
Milk for day 2 - which is what I use 200ml
Then that would leave you with 12 for dinner, which is a good amount. Maybe cut back a little on the salad if you are using it instead of pro points. I would up the protein a little as this seems to work for a good few people and if your only having 40g pasta up it to 60g? My only advice from doing it so long is to not use up points on snacking and junk as such (well like choc biscuits or crisps) but to up your healthy and filling things like protein and carbs.
Hope that helps a little0 -

I might do the 26 points the week running up to christmas, so then I might get away with the extras at christmas... (going to have what I want on the day..a fry up Stephens' Day, then back to normal) :pac: nom nom0 -

Morning all! I was doing great until yesterday morning! I fell about 6-7 steps down the stairs (running in my socks=bad idea) so now I'm in bits, apart from being winded for about 10 mins I've bashed my elbow, my neck hurts like whiplash and I've a huge lump with a few nasty bruises on my back. It hurts to drive and walk and any weight on my right leg hurts:( I still had to go to work though and had no one to relieve me til 4... I was so flustered I forgot my lunch so the crisps and sweets won in the shop I work in.. I was determined to have a sweet free week but I felt so miserable and sorry for myself I caved in.. So that was my Thursday! Today I have lunch and soup and those sweets can get lost today.. I'm still very sore and limping but I'm back on track.. The pride is very sore too... I'd give out to the kids for running in socks

hey just wondering if anyone has an idea as to how many points are in chicken with black pepper sauce from the chinese? dying to get one but wondering if its worth it.
Thanks
Chicken with black pepper sauce isn't on this list, but the skinny doll blog has the propoints value for a lot of chinese dishes, so it may help http://theskinnydollsjourney.blogspot.com/p/sweet.html0 -
