WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread

I'm in my first week of ww and i have been cheating a little all weekend, its nothing in comparison to what i would usually eat but i still feel really guilty and disheartened
I have tried and failed many times but i was so determined on wednesday that i thought i would be really good.
Here's hoping i can pick myself up and be good for weigh in wednesday

This is why for me Pro points is so much better than the old plan....i can go out tonight....and get back on track tomorrow morning as it didnt even happen...where as in the old plan....one night out..and your kinda paying for it all week, trying to scrimp and save points everywhere possible...that was just mental torture...
And for newbies to ww and this thread....this place is just beyond great! You really get out what you put in. No question is too small or stupid...cos there all questions we asked when we started....
A few weeks ago I was in the horrors when I lost my ww calculator...i really didnt know how much i used it until it was gone....well incase they dont want there name put out for all to see.....but one of these amazing people...PMed me and wanted my address so she could send me a new calculator cos she knew i was doing it from home so would end up paying a fortune on Ebay for one....that blew me away....i was speechless!
this place is good, safe, comfortable, we all have different reasons why we want to lose weight...and different reasons why we gained it in the first place... some times we complain.... sometimes we vent.... sometimes we rant...but thats all apart of it....cos well...before alot of us would have prob just gone to the press and take a packet of biscuits....where as now we'll have our rant here....and we might take A biscuit instead of the whole packet!
Sorry i'm just in a very relfective mood today :P thinking about where i was....where i am...where i'm going to be kinda thing
That was such a lovely post lady lainey, ive only been on boards and been doing ww for 5 days and im so delighted to have this thread. Its so lovely to have people who understand what the process is like and have a place to come when things are going good or not so good
Thanks 0 -

Had an all round good weekend
Was quite active with cleaning and prepping the house for the visitors arriving on Thurs and also went to Step on Friday, then ran 3k yesterday in 20 mins :D Will do more running tonight, then pole tomorrow night.
Have been doing quite well with limiting my treats. So far I've only used 7weeklies and I won't be using any more now till Thursday, I've got a lot more food with me today at work to try to make sure I don't end up with a load of pp left at 8pm tonight which is when I usually start reaching for the snacks
Am a bit nervous about WI this week though as am going to a different class at 10am instead of my usual at 7pm. I've been before and I hate the leader - she's a right ole cow At least it's only just the one week - just hope I don't get a false loss 0 -

May be try and bring some colours and paper I did that and I had got her some girly toys a fake hair dryer and mirror kinda thing. worked a treat she was very quite for ages. sitting close to the door so you can leave if needed is good as well
Thanks baby - I was thinking I could bring some food (raisins, banana)! For some reason he's quiet and happy when he's eating! Wonder where he got that from!
I had a horrendous weekend in terms of food intake. I went to the WW fashion show on Friday night which was great. One of the models had lost 7 stone! :eek: All the models looked fantastic and the clothes were lovely too.
Anyway, you would think that would have inspired me to behave myself all weekend but in fact I did the opposite. I ate everything in sight including nuts, crisps, pizza, chicken skin, chocolate - you name it, I ate it!
My WI is on Tuesday and if I'm not up it will be a miracle. And to top it off I have a bad head cold so I feel miserable! Any PP in a Lemsip??
Right - enough whinging - back on track and hoping for a miracle tomorrow!
Good luck to all.0 -

wow seems like we all had one of those weekends! it was my nanas 96th Birthday yesterday and all my aunties are brill at making cakes to die for!
I ate more sweet things than I have done is ages, one slice of roulade, a tiny slice of strawberry cheese cake, some chocolate sweets have to work out the points but I had all my weeklys and my dailys so know I didnt go over but not very healthy food choices gald I dont do that all the time!
Going to be much better today and stuff the kids easter eggs in the bin if they dont eat them! they got some yesterday!
normally we do a good walk on a sunday but my 8 year old is not well so hoping this evening I might get out for an hour I really missed it!
2fat my WI in thursday morning as well, I love maltesers too sooo yummy LOL0 -

WI tonight...definitely going to be up!
Aw well, I have found I have my best weeks the week after I've been up.
The end is in sight exam wise, thank god, Saturday is my last one, then I can get stuck back in to WW with a vengeance.
Just realised I got my 10% last week, I had forgotten my card so was using a temporary one - I knew what my weight last week was and was concentrating on getting the silver 7 I never thought about the other! Will that show up tonight when I'm back on my old card?
Whoever was talking about ReadyBrek the other day put me in the notion for it, I went and bought a box and had some for my breakfast, brought me back yeeears! Just like being a child again
Baked potato and tuna for lunch, om nom nom!!0 -
Ugh I've been so bad the last couple of weeks. Need to get back on track properly! I think I might be down this week though, simply due to being too hungover to eat yesterday (I must come across as a right alco on here!)
I'm down to a 3-day week in work My usual class is 18.45 on Tuesday evenings but I won't be working on Tuesdays and I know that if I'm at home I'll eat more during the day than if I was in work and had a more structured eating plan. So I found out there's a 10.15 class in the next town on Tuesday mornings and am going to give that one a go tomorrow and see what the leader's like. I'm hoping to use my 2 extra free days a week to get some more exercise done. I'd really love to buy a bike but can't afford one at the moment. Will have to keep my eye out for some second hand ones on adverts.ie. 0 -

Where do you get the WW chips Lainy? Are they nice and how much to you get for how many PP?
there the old ww chips...there not great to be honest...they're handy for emergencies...and compared to potatoes they are a complete waste of pp value!
100g ww chips is 5pp.....where 100g of raw potatoes is 2pp... much better point value to just make your down wedges from potatoes....
I got the chips at christmas they have the old system on them, havent seen them anywhere since christmas. they mightn't be on the new system.0 -

Lady Lainy, you're a legend! 42.81% weight loss. Now I'm motivated to finish! Thanks
WOW :eek: that's fantastic! I've a 12.86% weight loss since I started last Sep. It's slow but I don't mind because it's staying off bar a lb give or take.
Had a terrible weekend food wise and I'm now dreading my WI. Might go on Thurs to give myself an extra day to try and salvage a STS. I know its cheating but I'll allow it because of exams! Like you Lainy I'm finished Thurs so I plan on getting back on track with exercise and eating properly.0 -

Yep! 8st 13lbs and only 3lb left to go! However, I've had no real loss since January, up 1 down 1 sort or senerio. Very frustrating.
But I'll get there, when I started this, I reckoned I had not chance of ever finishing but was happy enough with that. All I wanted was to be in a size 16 and no more. Boy did I smile when I bought my first 12.
Keep up your good work, if I can do it anyone can! Good luck with the rest of your exams. 0 -
Wow - well done you fionas046!!! That is some serious and brilliant change of life for you! Gives the rest of us hope!!
I have my first WI this Wed - fairly hopeful as mainly I was good bar a few drinks on Sat night out of my weekly allowance. I really like the new pro points so far the way you have a daily and a weekly so when you need to splurge out you can!!
Thanks all for all the helpful posts so far - just been following this for the past few days. All tips gratefully received!! 0 -
