WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII

xxkazxx · 20-09-2011 03:59PM

Hey everyone,

Have been following this thread for a week or so and i have to say it gave me the motivation to get myself to a Weight Watchers meeting today! So far am feeling confident about it hopefully it wont wear off!

Just wondering if any of you could help me point something? I had a roll from the deli before my meeting and dont know where to start to propoint it

It was a white demi baguette with 2 slices of ham about 3 tablespoons of egg mayo with some onions and tomatoes!
If any of you could even give me an estimate on how many points that would be I'd be very greatful!

Thank You

A demi baguette is 8PP. I would point the 2 slices of ham as 2PP depending on thickness. Bad news on the egg mayo. It was probably made with full fat mayonnaise, which is 3PP per tablespoon. So if it was say one large egg which is 3PP and it was mixed with 2 tbsp of mayo, then the egg mayo would be 9PP. Total PP for the roll, I would guestimate as 19PP. Next time if you are getting a roll, try and go for plain chicken and salad or meat and salad and ask for a scraping of mayo.

Thanks for your reply

I knew it would be bad, just wanted to squeeze one more delicious roll in to get it out of my system for my fresh start!

Thought it would have been more points to be honest!Still have 10 left for dinner which is grand!Hmmm hope it stays this easy!

Well I went to my meeting.. down half a pound... better than gaining, and I'm feeling bit more motivated now. Thanks for the advice ladies, probably wouldn't have come to meeting had it not been for the advice

Well done to everyone on all the losses this evening!

I got my Davina DVD and gave the 1st 30 min workout a go. Well I was in bits after. Hopefully it will do some damage control from Sun but still expecting a gain tomorrow!

Hi guys

I was just wondering if anyone here is going to college? Im back now, and it's so hard to make my points stretch out during the day!

Im into my second week of college, and I've just been so hungry all day, I hate this.

And also, what do ye do about nights out? We all know college involves nights out, i.e. alcohol, and I haven't been going out at all. I feel so unsociable!

I'm so frustrated, cos I was doing so well before I started college. Was having no problems whatsoever. I started WW in july, and so far have lost 18.5lb's. I don't want to give up, but I'm finding it so hard.

Im in college too.. heading into fourth year now! :0
Im also finding it so hard so far. I have my breakfast at about 9 and by 11 im STARVING! I think its just because I do be sitting for a long while in the class, on the bus etc..

Im also so tired leaving college that I dont have any interest in exercise!
Oh, hopefully Ill find some kind of solution!

Ditsy Dotsy · 20-09-2011 09:33PM

Hi,

Hope you don't mind me joining - I started back to WW 3 weeks ago today. I have 2 and a half stone to lose (hopefully by Christmas!) - I lost 3lbs my first week and 2lbs this week and I'm pretty happy with that so far. I bought the eating out guide at the meeting tonight and was shocked to realise the points in some of the meals! I think I was underestimating when eating out - so I've no excuse now!!! Anyway, hoping the loss will be steady till Christmas.

lisa_celtic · 20-09-2011 09:43PM

Down 2.5 that's 12 in 4weeks and last week I had gained so doing well overall

Dubgirlww · 20-09-2011 09:44PM

Well done Lisa, that's a fantastic over all weightloss!

s.a.man · 21-09-2011 07:16AM

My first weigh in, fingers cross that I lose something hopefully!

Good luck to everybody!

GT_TDI_150 · 21-09-2011 07:48AM

Didnt really want to post this today ...

up 4.75LBS this week

we had a relation from england over for the week, so there was chipper food, maccyDs, chinese take out, bottles of real coke, cakes, biscuits, very poor water intake.... and I didnt track for the week

I kinda knew it was coming, but ... nearly 5lbs?

dammitj · 21-09-2011 07:57AM

Wow that seems like a lot, might be a fake gain, see how you go next week.
Once I put up 3lbs in one week, was gutted. The following week I was down 4 so there you go.

I've put on 2.5lbs between Electric Picnic and being sick the week after - not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it scuppers my plans for getting to goal by Christmas.

Half of that could be water retention from all the salty food and not taking in enough water. Flush your body out with loads of water before your next WI and you might be pleasantly surprised.

On a negative note though, I have noticed, as time has gone on in my weightloss journey, it is SO easy to gain weight. I wasn't even that bad the last week, like I had 1 not so good meal and 1 bad meal and a homemade scone made it in there too but my scales is showing a 1lb gain and I definitely don't deserve that. Will see at WI tonight

LizT · 21-09-2011 10:32AM

Put on 2.5lbs this week. Knew I would back I hadn't been tracking and was just eating what I wanted. Plus a week of french baguettes for breakfast, lunch and dinner probably didn't help!

LizT · 21-09-2011 10:48AM

Anyone have any suggestions for lunch? I'm getting kinda bored of wraps and pitta breads and I'm trying to stay away from bread type foods.

Also trying to eat loads of the filling and healthy foods (the green highlighted foods) because my leader said people who do that lose more weight. I'm really trying to stay away from the treats because I can feel my weight loss starting to stall and when I'm still about 5 stone away from goal that is not good!!

s.a.man · 21-09-2011 12:22PM

How many pp is in 125g 95%lean mince from dunnes stores? Anyone? Thanks

Some of the cully &sully soups are only 4pp, I eat that often for a lunch with 1 slice of brown bread with a fruit afterwards, if you are still hungry you can make a salad worth 2pp... That will really fill you up and it will keep hunger at bay at least till dinner or a snack!

You could have a range of different salads. Whatever salad veg you like with chicken or tuna or sliced salami/ham. You could encorporate some wholegrain pasta into a salad too so that and the protein would be filling. 30g pasta would be enough in a salad. You could make some homemade 0PP soup and have 2 slices of mccambridge with it for 5PP. Even mini portions of dinner you make, or leftovers.

AnnaGram85 · 21-09-2011 01:35PM

Have my 2nd Weigh In this evening at 5pm. Lost 4lbs last week and weighed in at 13st 12.5lbs, although I was wearing lighter clothes I think also. Have eaten out twice this week [new boy on the scene, taking me on dates!] and one of those times was last night so not hopeful about the weigh in. I've also got my period since Monday. Have bootcamp again this evening though so if it's not a good result at WI I'll just have to work my butt off[ I wish!] even more at bootcamp afterwards. Will update later!

cailindana · 21-09-2011 04:24PM

just back from weigh in.. the recipes in the little free magazine sound lovely! def gonna try the cheesy chicken dippers!

xxkazxx · 21-09-2011 04:31PM

Hey all,

I got a recipe off my leader for a 0 point basic veg soup but when I point the ingredients it gives me 2 points would anyone be able to tell me if it has or hasn't got points in it? I'm new at this and don't want to point anything wrong:o

Ingredients: 3 carrots,1 medium onion,tin of tomatoes and 1 stock cube
Thank You

Shinnie0503 · 21-09-2011 05:22PM

Well totally disillusioned!! Lost 3.5 first week, up 1.5 last week and up another .5 this evening. Stuck to basically same food as first week, exercising more...what's going on?

Anyone know how many in kfc mini chicken fillet? Have still 40 min drive ahead and starving!

Eabhabear · 21-09-2011 05:45PM

Well as predicted I was up today at WI but it was much more than I expected 3.5lbs :eek: :mad: So I go from being 0.5lb from my next stone to 4lbs away. Every time I get close to that 2nd stone I blow it.

Anyway start of a new week tomorrow so I'm gonna work hard. I'm gonna try and do Davina DVD every day and get most of that 3.5lbs gain gone by next week. Wishful thinking but here's hoping!
