WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread

Just wondering what people actually eat. I am on 29 points. I use 6 for breakfast, and usually aim for 8 or 9 for lunch and around 10 or 11 for dinner. But wondering what people are actually eating for lunch in particular. Trying to find low point, filling lunches that don't require too much shopping or too much effort! I bring my lunch in but I need it to be quick to make if I want to keep it up.
!

I love throwing some fresh water prawns on top of shredded lettuce, carrots, tomatoes... any veg lying around the house. It's really filling and with a splash of seafood sauce only ever comes to about 4-5 pp. Great for lunch boxes too.

I suppose you could do the same with some leftover chicken if you dont like fish.:)

Hi again! Hoping someone out there knows the approximate pp value of nasi goreng, the Indonesian fried rice dish? Alot I'd guess but it's so yum. A portion of special fried rice is a massive 23 Propoints. So I'll go by that unless somebody here knows better!

I have my first WI tonight on PP plan...really hope I'm down! Have been really good all week, we got take away over the weekend but used weekly points for that & haven't had any alcohol in 2 weeks!

My OH weighed himself last Monday (10th) and weighed himself today and he was down 9lb...he's following PP plan with me but not going to classes. It's much easier having someone supporting you with it....I find when we're both being good it's better as we're not being swayed to dial a chinese as easily!!

Well here's hoping for a good result tonight

Argos have all the Tefel frying pans on offer at the moment. I think the sale ends in a few days. I fry my chicken in a bit of water in a non stick, and it turns out perfectly! I'm getting a 26cm (standard size ) tefel fying pan tomorrow for 13 euro! its down from 30! I would still choose low fat spray over olive oil if i had to choose.

just finished 40 mins on treadmill....I was watching LOST while doing it...i was so focused on trying to follow the story the 40 mins flew....and i'm wrecked...so hopefully i'll get another good night sleep tonight!

Now that low fat cooking spray is pointed I'm back to the olive oil.
However, if Im cooking a family dinner and am frying 5 or 6 chicken breasts, using only one tbs of oil...do I count the pp seeing as Im only really having a tiny portion of it....

I know its only one point but I am curious!

I think I'd rather over point a tiny bit than under point and all those under points add up to loosing nothing. If that makes sense....

So went for my first WI on PP and was down....7lb!!! :D:D Silver 7 on my first week :D:D

Ecstactic to say the least....I dint even feel like I was on much of a diet this week! I've had my treats but haven't over indulged and am eating loads more fruit....am really really loving the PP plan!!

Going into my second week with so much optism...writing this so i can check it out in a couple of weeks when I'm sure I'll be having a bad day and will need to remember how I feel tonight

Well done, excellent results. I lost 3. Lb first week and 1 lb this week.. I do like the pro points..keep up the great work !!

Had mad cravings for chipper pizza and chips so gave into temptation after weigh in last night (down 3lb).

Shared a 12 inch very very thin pizza with pepperoni and 1 chips with the OH.

Any idea on what the pro points for that would be?

Hope I havent f***ed up my good work. Dont have gym membership but going to go to the gym tomorrow for an hour and try and make up. Also weekend, have to have my few drinks and nibbles, so will prob use all of the weeklies this week, do you think that will have much of an effect?

My WW leader said if you eat all your dailies and weeklies that its nearly like eating when your on maintenance....

I'm going out tomorrow night and am so worried about keeping in my points!
I'm not a heavy drinker but all the same my sweet tooth is huge!

What drink should you keep to?

Thanks:)

I find spirit and a diet mixer the best value...it's 3pp for a pub measure. What's your normal drink?
I always get a pint of water with my first drink too, when I'm sober enough to remember to drink water! Lol!

@smileyface...I'm not sure why ur weight wld fluctuate like that. But just draw a line under it and keep focused for nxt wk.

@ladylainy....I was having q nose in the off topic thread and someone was recommending magnesium spray. Said they had used a couple of sprays the night before and had a great sleep. Might be worth checking it out. It is a full moon this week and I know that can sometimes have a weird effect on my sleep.

I have the banana loaf from the Sunday world supplement in the oven...smells good. Had the chicken curry from the folder the other night and it was Delish. OH loved it and normally he asks is this WW or normal food! what a support!

Hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend
