WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII
Comments

I've decided to treat myself to a takeaway tonight, I'm between Thai or Eddie Rockets, now I know Thai would probably be the better option health-wise but Eddies is more easily pointed. What ya'll think?
Skinny Doll has chinese takeaways pointed which some of the dishes would be similar to thai dishes. For example, chicken and cashew nuts is 9PP. Then extra for your rice and you should always weigh your rice (if at home) to make sure of the points, 200g cooked rice is 8PP. Also, as with all takeaways, sizes differ, so use common sense when pointing too

I was thinking that the other day, there used to be a lot more men posting but not so much lately! I would ask the mods! Jump in more here though! 0 -

I do it at home - like I only have about a half stone to 10 pounds to lose so it shouldn't be that hard should it? I'm sticking to the points every day and exercising (spinning, gym, walking). I'm only doing WW officially since Mon but ive been watching what I eat for about 2 weeks.
Are you tracking? I have a friend in WW (she only started 2 weeks ago) and she hasn't tracked yet. The first week she put up 1.5lb and the second week she STS. She thought she was eating well and making good choices the majority of the time but it just shows that you really need to track religiously. Failing that, perhaps mix up your exercise routine and the foods you are eating or try eating more or less weeklies 0 -

Yep I've been tracking religiously - I have a big hardcover A4 copybook!! Ah well sure I guess I'll just have to keep at it. I still have 38 weeklies left - 6 of which I just used there on a ham sandwich so still have a lot of weeklies left.
I just read there that when you start exercising and dieting that you can retain water at first? Something to do with the muscle?! I don't understand these things - it's prob rubbish!0 -

I cannot get the grasp of posting a pic here so I will use this link - I am so in love with these! But if I buy the Twin Pack, I eat the twin pack!
No such thing as saving one for tomorrow!

Oh I have these in my fridge:-) Haven't opened them yet though. Can't wait to try them now :-)0 -
Can't stop eating tonight. Dunno what's wrong with me. Had a homemade chicken curry, about 6 rice cakes with choc philly, crisps and a ww bar. Worst thing is I'm not even hungry. Just want to eat for the sake of eating. Disappointed in myself now :-(
Don't be disappointed! The downwards spiral will continue if you dwell on it and keep making yourself guilty. We all make mistakes. Draw a line under and start again tomorrow. Tell yourself you will be better tomorrow and plan what nice healthy brunch/dinner you are going to have and what exercise you are going to do

Had a lovely dinner tonight, felt like a proper takeaway. Had a WW pizza and 125g (frozen weight) of Green Isle mexican spicy wedges (5PP)... nom nom nom!! Whole thing was 18PP, seems like a lot but I didn't mind because it stopped me from getting a takeaway. Had a 50g packet of jellies too YUM! Took them out of my weeklies. Still feeling really crap and sick so I said I would treat myself tonight seeing as I won't have my few drinks this weekend 0 -

Are you keeping track of the amount of activity pp you are earning? try using the same amount of weeklies as you earn in activity pp.... it might work for you... it worked for me. I wasn't touching my weeklies at first and although i was losing for the first few weeks, it all came to a halt... staying the same and struggling to lose 0.5lb...
Just remember this is a long process... I thought i would be losing 3 or 4lb every week and hit my goal in no time, but its not that kinda programme. The general weight loss is around 1 or 2lb a week which is a lot more sustainable in the long run...
Definitely keep at it, especially as you have your goal in sight. you won't know yourself..... 0 -

Thanks a million Ali - I've calmed down a bit now! I'm trying to remain positive so hopefully I'll reach my goal eventually :-) thanks for the encouragement!0 -

Hey guys sitting here crying - of course I had to go and weigh myself in boots cos I was convinced that I had lost a few pounds over the last 2 weeks but didn't lose a single solitary pound. I'm finding it more difficult to lose than when I did it before.
Really down now :-(
You know my friend said the same she went in day before WI and told her she was up 4 pounds! I said no way! those scales when ever I have used them always have you heavier! and at WI she was down
Check you are eating enough! esp if you are doing a lot of exercise and track as well it will show!BaileyPants wrote: »Does anyone know which are the lowest brand of frozen oven chips?
Weight watchers ones a 5pp per portion I got some in Iceland haven't seen them any were else, what about making your own wedges they are pretty good0 -
about 9 points i think so wroth it
I would imagine it is a lot higher then that. I think you would have to take into account that the Sausage is double if not triple the size of a regular Sausage and you can bet that a chippy doesn't use anything like reduced fat Sausages!!! Then there's the batter and the deep frying part....... :eek:
My greatest downfall is the Chinese - i could eat spring rolls until they came out my ears and saying to myself that they're made of veg 'mostly' doesn't really count!0 -

Try the Dunnes veg spring rolls. They're in their fridge section. I eat soooooo many of these. I always buy loads and have some in the freezer and a stock of them fresh in my fridge. They cook in a few minutes and are only 2pp per roll. Even if you eat 4 you'd be saving so much in comparison to the deep fried chinese ones. So nice to have 2 before dinner for 4pp. ( i do this alot with salad for two courses:)) I think they have duck and chicken ones for the same points but i'm not into them.
Since I started on these I can no longer stomach the deep fried ones as I love the oven cooked consistency and you realise how much oil these bad boys actually soak up when deep fired.
Just try em with some sweet chilli sauce. NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!0 -

I got home and started to calculate the points in each wrap! I was GOBSMACKED (to say the least) when I ended up with 6pp per wrap!
I was planning on having 2 enchiladas and a heap of salad veggies!
Now i'm thinking of just cutting one in half and making 2 that way, rather than use 12pp for 2 wraps!!!!
The multi-seeded ones from tesco are 4pp - great value and lovely 0
