WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII

Morning all, I havent been on here in ages. My weight loss kind of stopped in June and in frustration I just kind of gave up. I decided to go back as they ran a class in work (incentive thing). I wasnt shocked with my first WI, but am feeling motivated again and hoping to get another 2 stone off ((lost 2 stone last year and kept almost all of it off despite not going to WI). I was shocked that the pp's have come down and thought I would find it very hard, but am finding it grand. Well done on all the successes on here, I will add recipes as i find them and hopefully keep this up until I hit my own goal :-D

Hey guys! Me too! I made a stir fry last night for the first time in years. I always thought they were boring, but I think that my sauce was always crappy. So I made an extra effort with it last night and yum!!

Well done on staying the same Dee that is a great achievement in itself. What do you mean by the pp coming down?? I did read something about the allowance being dropped but I joined last Thurs and am on the same pp allowance as I was when I was there last June

Searching high and low for the motivation to go for a walk! Even a 30 minute one!!

The weather is horrific!!!! Hoping if I get going soon i'll be able to get it over and done with and relax for the night!


Best of luck to everyone for the coming week!

hi All
just trying another filling and healthy day and shock horror here i am sitting in front of the fire with my little one sharing a punnet of red grapes instead of the usual saturday nibbles and she says to me " mam i love sweets and all but these are really tasty" out of the mouths of babes eh but she's right sometimes it's just the habit of dipping your hand in whatever is in a bowl in front of you when your watching telly.

i'm getting used to the filling and healthy days though i've had totally lovely meals today a lovely pancake this morning and soup and homemade potato cakes with egg and beans and bacon medallions for lunch and beef stir fry for dinner with egg fried rice yummy

Hiya! I went into Design & added a Gadget. It was for a description or something like that, and I put it in there.

I'm a big lover of subway (obviously not as much as I used to be ) and when I found the bread that I would normally get in subway in the bakery section of tesco I was delighted!


Sadly I cannot find ANY nutritional info for them anywhere! Planning for tomorrow's meals and would really like one!

Can't quite believe it's not printed on the bread! If only things were that simple eh?!

Rant over

Well we did my measurements the other night & they seemed to be up by a half! Dunno what that's about as I'm down half a stone. Obviously not too good with a measuring tape! I get the OH to measure me, and I thought he was going to pee himself he was laughing so much! Sure I ended up in a heap laughing too then! The state of us haha :-)

Can't believe there is only 2pp in rice krispie cereal bars. They are really nice for a snack and taste really Like white chocolate. They are on offer in Tesco at the moment 2 boxes for €3 :-)

All the talk of soup on here got me cooking and made some carrot and coriander yesterday! It was delicious with a nice crusty bread roll - and because the soup is 0pp, having a slightly larger bread roll was ok. And I have now a 0pp lunch for today so I can have my big sunday dinner tonight and not feel guilty.

Had a night in last night with the OH and I made the lasagna everyone here seems to have tried. I like really thick pieces so I bulked up the bolognese sauce with LOADS of veggies. On top of the carrot, celery and onion the recipe looks for, I also added a red pepper, half a courgette, half a small aubergine and a few mushrooms. I also added 30g low-fat cheddar to mix with the parmesan for the top of it so it was 12pp per portion. But it was really delicious and the portion was huge. Served it with a big salad and me and the OH were absolutely stuffed. My treat for the week was last night since I didn't have a night out on the booze - so I had half a bottle of wine and also got a full fat dessert! We got tesco citron tarts - and since blueberries were on special in lidl, I made a blueberry sauce to go with them. Put a punnet of berries in a frying pan on a high heat with 2tbsp of water and 1tbsp of sugar (i would have used sweetener if i had any) and cooked until it reduced to a sticky sauce, mashing the blueberries up a bit while cooking. I then swirled 1tbsp of ww cream through it so it marbled and served it with the tarts. The tarts were 11pp each and the sauce I counted as 3pp. I used 19 of my 49 last night but I shouldn't have to use any more before tuesday!

Off to the gym today and wanna really push myself as hard as possible. Wanna do a 10k run in April and get myself in shape by June to try and get my 10k time back as close to 1hour 6 mins (where I was 4 years ago) as I can!

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend

Thanks the minimum pp allowance used to be 29, but they've reduced it to 26 now. The weekly's are still the same tho which is great. Good to have them to fall back on.

My leader also said it was optional to change ;-)

my leader said that she wasnt losing on the 29 so went down to 26. shes now losing weight but finds it hard at the weekend so does five days at 26 and two at 29.
i think its really up to each person if your losing on 29 why change something thats working but if your not losing on 29 and find 26 too hard to stick to at the weekend do a few weeks of five days 26 two days 29 and see if your losing if so stick to it
