WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII
Comments

Im also 5'5" and hoping to get down 2 9n half/9! The lowest iv ever gotten over my various WW attempts is 11.....iv yet 2 break into the 10s!!! I can def say that@ 11 i was no where near 2skinny!!! Definatly could get to under 10 and stil not look too skinny i reckon!!!
On the subject of people wanting "chubby friends"....i have friends that are much heavier than me and a few that would be a little thinner than me but in no way would any of us begrudge any1 of us losing weight, any real friend should be happy for you making a choice to lose weight and be healthier!!!
I am 5'3" and WW have set my goal at 9 stone 9lb. I don't even know when I weighed that as the first time I remember being weighed was when I was around 13 or 14 and I was just under 14 stone then. Starting weight 18 stone 3lb, currently 15 stone 8lb. The lowest I have been in my adult life was 14 and a half stone. I can't wait to see what 12 or 13 stone looks like on me. Best of luck girls, we can do this

After loosing a whooping 5lbs last wk, I went to WI very positive this evening as I was just as good, if not better this week!
Was shocked/upset to see I was +.5lb.
I realise it's probably my body adjusting and even-ing things out after my big loss last week. Buuutttttttt... so disheartening not seeing a result after a wk of constant tracking, soup drinking, fruit chopping, butternut squash chipping, swimming 26 lengths, walking 5 days, water aerobics ........
However!! I will not allow this get me down.
Just gonna forget about it and move on, something I haven't done in the past very well!! But this time has to be different.
Congrats on all the weight losses, so inspiring!0 -

The exact same thing happened to me at the start of December. Think of it as 4.5lbs gone in two weeks rather than a loss and a gain 0 -

K ladies... panic averted.... i was down 1lb.... thats 5lb in two weeks... very happy with that...
I was so afraid I would be up coz I felt so bloated but thank god there was a minus sign up on screen.
Spoke to my leader about the bloated feeling and she said sometimes it takes the body a few weeks to get used to drinkin water especially if like me, it was something completely foreign!!!

Same as my fella... "Ah I know how much you love cooking, and you do it so well... i would only mess it up!" even when it comes to my tea (I don't take milk) he tells me that he always forgets and puts milk in so he has to make it twice, so I'm better off makin it myself....
He makes the bed!

Ahhh hahaha. yup exactly what he says....:rolleyes: sure.... as if I love cooking THAT much that I want to do it every day for every meal!! I also get the "god you should be on that masterchef thingy....
Mine makes the bed and puts on the clothes to wash so I get two jobs out of him
Congrats on the one pound loss after all the panicking you had.... Alot of it is a mental thing like we were saying, I always feel 2 stone heavier on WI day, but I would say it's all the water and extra fibre you wouldn't be used to.0 -

Hello again! My dailies are 37pp! I find it very hard to make up these points and feel guilty for snacking! I keep going to the fruit bowl, snacking on fruit and then remembering they're not using up any points! Any ideas on tasty snacks? (I usually have between 8 and 10 pp left over in the evening!)

Do you actually feel hungry in the evening? Don't just have something for the sake of filling points.
You could do some scrambled eggs with melba toast, some babybel lights etc.0 -

Try have healthy but high point snacks - like some avacado. You could make it into some healthy dip for veg sticks or even pitta bread. Hummous is a good one too. Throw a bit of extra full fat items into cooking. Use read oil instead of the spray stuff. Add slightly more protein to your main meal instead of bulking up on extra snacks and carbs! Things like this will make it easier to cut back on again when your daily allowance starts going down as you are losing weight.0 -

Decided to introduce myself as I think support (however anonymous it may be)
Recently my Dad became very ill and it is very important for him to regain the weight he lost and because of that our house is filled to the brim with high fat, calorific and high fat foods which provide HUGE temptation for me!
Thankfully the nearest WW meeting turned out to be very near my house so I have no excuse but to go!
I abs LOVE the new pro points system, shocked at the increase in the points values of foods high in protein but it's working well for me!
Down 1.5 on my first weigh in which I am deelighted with! Scrimped on the exercise and had a family meal the night before the weigh in! This week I plan to get out walking every evening! Partaking in a water aerobics class tomorrow night which I'm really looking forward to!
I wish you all the very best of luck and I'm really looking forward to giving and receiving hints and tips, and the odd recipe here and there :cool:
Welcome and Best of luck with the weight loss!!...Plenty of great ideas and support on this thread!0 -

I've gone through my notebook thingy and I paid for 12 classes on the 14th of June last year. I think that they use 2 of your prepays when you come back after missing classes. This would make sense since its €20 to rejoin. From the weigh-in notes I have it went like this:
14/6 - prepay 1
*missed 2 weeks*
5/7 - prepay 2 & 3
12/7 - prepay 4
*missed class*
2/8 - prepay 5 & 6
9/8 - prepay 7
So that would mean there should have been 5 prepays left when I went back last week, which should have meant the girl at the desk used 2 of them leaving 3 prepays, one of which should have been used last night too.
Instead it looks like she used the 2 prepays when I rejoined last week *and* took the €20 off me. And then last night took the €10 and used a prepay.
Its all very confusing. I know I won't know what the craic is until I speak to my leader, I'm just hoping they keep decent records of when you used them and when you didn't 0 -

I need something to get me out of the house! Fresh air! even if its freezing cold fresh air LOL.
Right....off for a much needed shower! I smell of wet dog (from grooming) and olbas oil (from the kitten)
You're like myself so! I'm mad into horses, don't have one of my own mind. You have some great recipes by d way!0 -

Our leader actually spoke about it the first week & said you don't lose your pre pays - she used the example of if you broke your leg 7 couldn't go for a few weeks. She said they just stay on your card until you go back.
Hope you get it sorted next week.0 -

That analogy sounds like exactly what happened. They owe you €30.
I haven't gone back to WW yet (going back next week) but I had 4 prepays on my card too. I also had 1 or 2 out of the 7 special christmas prepays on my card (it was a deal where you get 7 classes for the price of 5 in the run up to Christmas).
I know I should still have my prepays but I wonder would I still have my special prepays?0 -

exam results in the bag! woop! hope for an even better semester this time round as my exercise and good food kick in!
Going away for the weekend with himself to the druids glen in wicklow (got one of those groupon thingies!) and I'm terrified I'll fall off the wagon altogether. We're going walking on the Saturday though and the gym too at some stage over the weekend. I've looked up the menus, nothing seems low fat but I'll try to be wise with my choices. As for the red wine....well we'll see!! Think I deserve a glass.....or 4.
Good luck with all WI's! 0 -

Well done on your results Shindy! you definitely deserve a few red wines this weekend!!! Best thing to do is to roll into your weeklies... I haven't used too many of mine since I started... but I definitely intend on using them when the OH brings me away next month!!!
Have a great time! you deserve it!!!!! 0 -

What time is your WI BaileyPants????
I have set out a meal plan (well a loose one) for the week. I have really lean steak mince defrosting at home - Mexican night again.... :P Got some avocados in Aldi so I'm going to have a blast at making my own guacamole.... just to bump up what I'm having.
Also found a brilliant fishmongers in Clondalkin village, so I shall be frequenting that either tomorrow or Saturday because I really really enjoyed the haddock I had last week. Considering how low in points it is and how filling and tasty it was I'm definitely going to try my hand at a few different fish.
I have a WW pizza in the freezer too which will come in handy when the other family members are having their dominos on Friday or Saturday
Hi! It's at 7pm this evening eeek! You know I feel like I'm down, but I only just stayed within my points & I didn't really exercise, so I guess I'll see later on! Congrats on being down yourself!
You have to give me your recipe for your Guacamole! I LOOVVEE Mexican 0
