WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII

lizt wrote: »

Up 3 pounds at WI this morning. So upset because I did a lot more exercise this week, wasn't too bad with the food either. My leader thinks it is fluid retention because I am in the middle of a cycle. I hope it is because I have had weeks way worse than this and I've lost weight.

So so upset was nearly crying in the meeting.

Like everyone else has said, don't let it get you down. There are any number of reasons why this could be showing on the scales and if you just stick with it and keep going with your tracking and exercising then your hard work will show with a loss soon!

*Guilty Confession time*

I do no exercise. Sure I dance around the kitchen after the baby and walk around work but I don't do anything else. I really hate exercise. 22lb gone though *shrugs*

Ditto.. I went mad in the gym and walking for my first six weeks lol.. then got lazy 5 months later I am lucky if i play the kinect or wii once or twice a week and I am down 24lb I know I should exercise but I really don't need the extra points and I am gone plain lazy lol.. My current excuse is i like to go straight home after work because I do not like coming out of the gym in the dark.

Down 1.5lb this week. Had an attack of the munchies last night which I try to avoid the night before WI, had popcorn, tortillas and an ice cream.

Its my birthday on Sunday so my boyfriend is cooking me dinner and making me captain morgans super splits on Saturday night so there goes my weeklies this week. I moved from 29pp down to 26 and don't miss the extra points atall if anything with the exception of last night I am having one treat instead of two!

Is it just me or does anyone else just feel heavier on WI day - no matter how good a week i've had I feel like i have a big rock sitting in my belly. I know it is totally psychological but all day today I just feel so heavy!

I always feel heavier. l feel so bloated and like I have put on half a stone. I thought it was just me.... glad I'm not on my own Tiny Penguin!!

I know I have been good but I think this week might be stalemate.

You could be under eating. If you've earned 20pp in activities and only eaten 3 weeklies then chances are your body isn't getting enough food. What you could do is eat your activity points rather than your weeklies. That way you can ensure you will get enough food.

Thats the thing though I am actually eating perfectly... Having at least 3 decent meals a day... and I NEVER ate breakfast. I even find in the evenings I am having a poached egg on toast or something like that just to use up the points.

It could be water too though... I have been drinking a lot of water the past few days which i don't really do normally....

oh well... I suppose I will know tomorrow....

Down 3 \o/

Very happy with that

yaaaaaaaaaay thats brilliant!!!

Hi All,

Picked up the WW toffee & Vanilla yogarts tonight in Tesco for €1.12.
Used the €1 voucher from the book we got at class last week so got them for 12cent.

I know the ww branded foods can be expensive so its great to pick them up at that price and they are yum for 1pp.

Hi everyone,
I havent been on here in while and it's great coming back and reading about everyones progress. Im back on the wagon after a long time to undo all my previous good efforts but between this, the Biggest Loser and Operation Transformation I'm feeling super motivated-long may it last-fingers crossed;) just wondering if anyone can answer a 'calculator question'. My calculator is stuck on the pp and weight, height etc I put into it when I got it first but my hubby has decided to give ww a whirl but he wants to just do it at home,no meetings etc so I wanted to check his propoints allowance. It's stuck on my details so Iwas just wondering could anyone offer any ideas to clear my data..even would be handy for when my own points go down?

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words, I know I just have to stick with it and if the weight gain was due to fluid retention it will be gone next week.

Just really disheartening because I lost half a pound over christmas and a pound and a half last week but now I'm heavier than I was before Christmas

Really really hope it was just fluid retention, still can't make sense of it.

Well done on all the losses guys!
I used to always get a smaller loss/gain a few weeks before my TOTM too, it happens to lots of people?
On an exercise related topic, do many of ye do spinning? I started it in October( I go to 3 or 4 classes a week) and have noticed that my thighs are getting quite chunky! Just wondering if it's related?! Going to book in for another assessment at my gym, haven't been weighed since the start of December, would love even a 1lb loss, but with my ever increasing thighs I don't know if that is asking for too much!:rolleyes:

I LOVE spinning....its soooo gud 4 u!!! Muscle is heavier than fat so u may not lose as much however muscly toned thighs are way better than fat wobbly 1s!!!!

Finally got off my ass tonight, went to my 1st proper zumba class (I say proper cause the last 1 I did was a waste and I didn't even break a sweat) and I'm a super swaety betty after it!!! What a laugh!!! And I'm booked in for my 1st spinning class since last october (dam recession) tomorrow!! Cannot wait!!
WI in the morning so think I'm just gonna have some fruit rather than waste points on a lil treat!!

It's so addictive though isn't it! I love Zumba too, had that tonight, along with a toning class, xumba is a great workout because you're using all your body and it's so fun it doesn't feel like exercise:) Only problem for me after going to 2 classes in a night is the hunger is unreal when I get home!! Should really try to hold off having dinner until after the gym but I'd never survive! Enjoy your spinning tomorrow:) I'm already looking forward to my class!
