WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII

I think you're under eating for the amount of exercise you're doing. If you're not going to use your weeklies then you should use your activity points. Bulk up your meals with extra protein. Its a common problem with weight loss as people don't realise that they could be under eating. Ask your leader for advice about it. Have you tried a week using all your weeklies? Maybe try that and see if the scales budge
Eabhabear you beat me too it. I was going to suggest that also. Show your leader the tracker, tell her how many weeklies u've used and try and record all exercise and see if this may be it. This happened to me also and I was driving myself mad with all the effort, I was being 'too' good and not eating near enough to keep the metabolism up and to lose. And it was hard at first to use all the weeklies. I admit I'm doing it a good while and I've only used them all up once or twice. I only use about 25 a week on average but I do understand thats its important for when your on maintenance....0 -

My boyf has gone back to work today after a week off and i'm finding it a lot easier to stick to a plan! He's a lover of goodies and I found it hard to resist nibbling during a dvd the other night but I took it upon myself to sit in the amchair on the opposite side of the room while he munched!
Weigh in tomorrow, v nervous as scales at home is saying +1 pound! My Mum says the batteries are dying in it and I really hope the scales at WI tomorrow prove her right!
Best of luck for the coming week!

If you've lost 5lbs over 2 weeks then you're not doing anything wrong. That's a brilliant loss given the optimal loss is 1-2lbs a week. Don't be too hard on yourself as if you set the bar too high you're more likely to find it harder. Good luck with your WI on Weds. Mine is also Weds and like you I feel bloated and I don't think my WI is going to be good. But I'm looking at the bigger picture. I've 5lbs gone over 3 weeks and they're going to stay off 0 -

Well got my hour exercising in, have to say the first 20 minutes drove me mad all toning upper body, but I made it through and enjoyed the rest. hope its doing me some good
Meringues, I made some with 2 egg whites, 100 grams of cane sugar sweetener and a tablespoon of hot chocolate, I got 9 out of the mixture, but what would you point them at! I think the cane sugar sweetener is 0 but wanted to double check before I made a mistake!
Any one like Nachos I have a weight watchers recipe but need to point it, here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmq4dCAktXw

Hello All! First post in this thread, a long time looking but only posting tonight! Had a day off today and spent a long time reading through a lot of it - Ye lot are inspiring, that's all I can say!
I must've joined WW five or six times since my teens, in my late 30's now and the weight has been creeping on the last few years. Really makes you feel bad
, but all my own doing I know! While I have not joined WW again, I am doing it myself this time at home - a friend joined a few months ago and left and has given me the books, calculator etc. I started 'the new me' (:D) on January 3rd - 5lbs off the first week, 4 last week. And, I am kinda following the OT crowd on the telly, so usually weigh myself on a Wednesday.
Some great recipes here which I'll be trying, so thanks! Getting in to my walking again and feeling a bit of looseness in my jeans already! I feel determined this time and am enjoying it so far - touch wood, it'll last! Have a wedding in October and I'd love to look a million dollars for it. I am very surprised at how filling and tasty things are that I wouldn't have dreamed of eating in the past. I am now taking time to cook things and eat slowly, whereas before I would have gobbled it down in 5 mins and be hungry again in an hour! White bread and Crisps were my killers! Now, the white has been replaced with brown, but I do still have a bag of Walkers Baked every night - I couldn't do without them! 
Also, I am getting up earlier in the morning to have a breakfast, which I never did the last few years.
Anyway, sorry for such a long first post! 0 -

Second WI tomorrow. I stuck to the plan all week, was smothered with a headcold at the weekend so I did treat myself to a packet of maltesers! (5pp a bag, happy days)
I'm hoping I'll be ok. Excercise was non-existant this week apart from the cycle to and from work and my water intake was pretty crap, again! Having said that, I feel like my belly has gone down a little and this is the first place I always seem to lose it (damn you thighs and upper arms!!) so I'm hoping for a loss. If its even half a pound I'll be happy
Best of luck all for the WIs!0 -

I made them once before and they turned out alright, not fantastic but that was because I used very bland apples for the apple sauce... where my friend has made them with Granny Smiths and they are DELISH!!!! 0 -
