WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII

Wow!!! 12lbs already!!!! you are doing brilliantly!!!!

I love the low low stuff..... I am addicted to the tubs of spreadable cheese. Either the plain or the one with cracked black pepper. I love them on wraps. Its much more economical with points rather than adding the light mayo and then cheese... I spread it like butter then add my toppings... YUM!!!!

The tubs are great if you are having nachos or anything like that...I would never have thought of it but its actually on the foil lid!!! So much nicer than the normal nacho cheese dips that are totally loaded!!!!

Yeah I feel like I am having more cheese now than I ever did!! But its so low fat and obviously I am only having one slice, maybe two a day but it is great!! Thanks for the nachos idea...yummy!!

Just wondering if anyone here is on more than 26pp a day?...Most people seem to have that as their daily total.

I'm on 34pp a day. I'm asking as most people here are stressing that we should use all daily propoints total, or come as close as possible, but would I get more results if I aimed for 30/32 instead?...

Thanks y'all!

Ugh.. Was awful today! Had to go to a child's tea party and all I did was pick and pick, am so annoyed with myself cos I know if I'd filled up with fruit/yogurt I wouldn't have been bothered with all the bits, live and learn I guess
The only thing is I didn't eat dinner as was too full from party so I doubt I'll be actually over my dailies. I'll work it out now though. I'm bloody ravenous now and the OH has suggested a Chinese- not a hope! I'll go to bed and sleep my hunger off!

I hope you had some fruit, don't starve your self! Thank god for weeklies for when life gets in the way eh!

Ive found and Im sure Kay will agree with me she only posted about this the last few days, as well as others on the program a while will tell you, you have better losses when you eat all your daily PP and weeklies! In fact if you don't eat them all you may find your weight loss stalls or you get a gain I got one when I did not eat my correct amount!

I would use them, add them to your dinner use some healthy food but higher pp.

as tiny_penguin says as you lose weight they drop, so use them while you have them

I'm on 33PP and I use all of them 95% of the time. The only time I would be down a couple would be weeks where I am really good and having fruit salad for breakfast and salad for lunch. At the weekend I use all of them and all weeklies as I like a big brunch and then dinner in the evening and a few drinks on friday and saturday

I know it's been on here before but what do ye put on butternut squash chips before popping them in the oven?

Did shopping in Aldi this morning, had loads written on list from here.

One thing I was curious about is the passata, how do ye use it? Is it mostly with pasta? Coz I never eat pasta, not a big fan!

Took a few hours this morning to just have me time... Did nails hair make up n tried on all my clothes... Feeling great now... Have 25wk pp left n they won't be used before weigh in everyone else having a nice weekend?

I burnt my hand on the grill, bit the inside of my cheek, hot water bottle burst last night and scalded my foot and had to try and put a very very drunk OH to bed at 2.30 this morning which kept me up till 4 :mad:

Food wise though having a great weekend. I would have loved to go for a walk today but I'm freezing and walking in the rain as much as I've done it before ain't appealing to me. Might put on a movie with lovely dinner planned for later

Omg maggie! Disaster!! I'd of crying if my hot water bottle burst let alone the rest of the misery on top of it!! I burn myself bout once a week so feel your pain!!

Good to hear you had a good food weekend tho!

Mary is my leader too! I got that recipe on tuesday. Was gonna make it this weekend but think I'll be having it mid week instead. I love mary - she was my leader 3 years ago when i got the closest I've ever been to goal and she is so great.

I have been on the WW wagon that many times and tried so many different classes and I can honestly say she is the best one I ever had. She is brilliant. I love the way she admits to having a bad day, or being addicted to carbs... (she had the WW mash with her on wednesday... don't know if she had them at your class too) but i got them yesterday and had them with my roast today.... it was lovely and im not a really big mash eater...

I also likes the way she doesn't pressure you to set your ultimate goal. I usually set a goal for the following week with her and then see if I can make it the following week. Something is working anyway coz I lost 7lbs in 3 weeks and i haven't lost the motivation yet....

That is a lot to do with you lot on here too.... its great! The OH does be laughing at me, "yappin to strangers about your weight when you are so shy about it with everyone else.." I think he is realising that this is just what I need... And he is looking great for me being on WW too.... lucky thing!!! I would say he has the best part of a stone gone....

hey guys just to let ya'll know I tried that ww cookie mix in a box where basically you just add a bit of water and some unpolysaturated maragarine and I have to say the cookies are really nice, and only 1 pp each, perfect for seeing to a chocolate craving!

I made them too and they were lovely! Great for 1pp :-)

Oh I shall be pickin them up!!! I am so into cooking/baking... and its great that there are so many recipes out there now for us Weight Watchers.... It means that my brood don't have to suffer rabbit food after rabbit food!

I am just after sticking a kind of banoffi in the freezer... crushed up a digestive and a half with a teaspoon of low fat spread into ramakins with a few slices of banana and the WW toffee yogurt on top... going to let it set a bit then put some more banana on top....

Fingers crossed it will work out ok... not bad for like 3 or 4 pps....

i LOVE banoffee, let me know if it works out!!

Hi all, I bought 2 mini ww recipe books yesterday in Easons for €3.99, and was thrilled with my purchases! I flicked the first few pages and on the introduction it had the pro points sign on it. Looking at it properly today though, and there are no points at all on the recipes........Anyone know what is going on? It makes no sense to have a ww cookbook with no propoints

the ones in tesco were the same!

Aldi didn't have the bacon medallions today so annoyed because I love 2 of them (1PP) with beans, a slice of toast and an egg on the weekend. Got the skinless sausages, haven't tried them yet but hope they are nice. Don't know if I would fancy spending 4PP on them though (having 2) with my brekkie on the weekend cos 1/2 tin of beans is 4PP and an egg is 3PP so that would make my brunch 13PP!!!

Was reasonably good WW wise the weekend. Although I did use all my weeklies and went over by about 8PP but that is me just adjusting to tracking properly and not cheating anymore (used to not point low low on toast, or say ah sure that's 3PP when it's actually 5) and will try and make those points back up through exercise during the week

I got low fat dunnes stores sausages 2 for 3pp were such a treat with toast with out high points so worth it!

I am just settling down to my dvd night.... love having mondays off!

Having some of the WW tortillas with the low low cheese .... (I dont really like the tortillas on their own... but EVERYTHING tastes better with low low spreadable!!! )

have 7pps left for the day might even have some popcorn!

BTW banoffi was actually nice... i didn't eat it all... but was lovely all the same...
