WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII

Well I was down 5 lbs this week!!:D:D

I was absolutely shocked and delighted! It made up for gaining a pound last week. Though I would have been really annoyed as I was super good over Easter, didn't have an egg and only had 1 glass of wine. It's funny but this Easter was just as good as other Easters when I would have been stuffing my face! I think we have a tendency to over-blow holidays and just go crazy, when in fact I had a great time and I wasn't left feeling crap this week. Not for one minute did I feel deprived!

Another plus was that I was one of the top losers on The Skinny Doll's blog Easter Challenge and she is sending me out a small prize. That's given me great motivation for the coming week!:p

Well done the west wing that's fantastic. Great wi result too, go you.

Great losses to read about, i too was down 1lb. I don't weigh each wk every second wk or when i really feel i need to. That 1lb loss was so not deserved with all i drank Sunday nite & then not being able to eat yesterday, but up until 7pm on Sunday i was in fact very good so had my eating not been good i would defo have been up.

It feels good to draw a very thick line under the last few days.

Nothing feels better than eating well, tracking & exercising.

Have a good week everyone.

Ginger_Nut · 10-04-2012 10:35PM

I went to my weigh in and I was up 1.5lbs. I have to say it was deserved though, i was out two nights and had a take away both nights. I was very good with the exercise. RachaelFergie I started the 30 day Shred this week too! Oh my God did my muscles ache the next day!! it took me five days to chance doing it again but def not as sore the second time. I walk/jog and go to spinning classes as well.
Anyways I've drawn a line under my bold weekend and am starting a fresh tomorrow!

Hey all.. have not commented in a few weeks.. basically was just stuck in a rut with WW over here. I needed something with a new angle.. I have joined the 12 week challenge in the gym and I am 1.6kg down after week 1. I weigh in on thursday evening. I have a personal trainer once a week and challenge boot camps twice a week and I try to do 2-3 sessions myself too. I did not get an egg.. (would have eaten every bit.. !!!) I did have some malteasers and a slice of malteasers cheesecake. Last night I had some cinema popcorn but other than that I have been good. 1kg a week im hoping for to start (2lbs) so really hoping for a loss tomorrow..

Well done to all of you getting back on track.. its the hardest part!

Also do any of you do weight training? If so what do you fine most beneficial??

Thanks a mill

Michelle

Thanks BaileyPants, that was awfully nice of you to say! Congrats to all this week, ye're all great regardless!

tiny_penguin · 11-04-2012 09:58AM

I've done something to my back, im in a lot of pain sitting in work and all I can think is that I wont be able to do any exercise before I go away on sat night. Something wrong with me...but seriously I do hope it gets better soon. I do not handle pain well....

Yeh I got a night B&B with a bottle of wine for 2 for 40 euro, was a bit of an impulse buy but really looking forward to the treat of a night away. Also planning on popping accross the border to pick up some weight watcher products that you just cant get down here.

Fota is meant to be amazing - and I love cork in general. Have a great time!

Good god..... Weigh in later. I can practically hear the ominous music.

Delighted for the rest of you, you're doing great!

Me too, dreading it. Going to be extra bad for me too as I am weighing in a day earlier because I usually go to WW after work on a Thursday but I am off Thursday and Friday so am going to a meeting that my leader covers today. My own scales has me +2lb

Think it should really only be 1lb gain though... it's not fair, always gain more than I deserve and lose less than I deserve... worst metabolism in the world!

I have a mean metabolism as well, I hear you :mad: Fingers crossed it's not the +2....good luck!

Same I think you have to eat an extra 3500 calories to gain 1lb and I managed to gain 4lb after 3 days bad eating in London. and I lose about 0.5lb a week so the maths speek for them selves hehe

Boop22 · 11-04-2012 12:33PM

First day back on track. My scales has me up 2lbs too. Can't make wi this week but really hoping I can lose,those 2 and an extra 1 before wi next thurs to get my stone. But I reckon that's asking way too much :-/

I'm the same, was only a half pound away from my 1st stone at last weeks WI, but I dare say I'm a bit further away than that again now though

^^This here is key! The important thing is not to let WW rule your life but to also remember why you are doing WW and what caused you to gain weight. You need to prioritise life events especially if they occur on a regular basis. Easter only happens once a year so yes enjoy it but don't follow it up with a take away at the weekend and a bottle of wine. It's so easy to fall off track but it's much harder to get back on

I agree with you, don't think I explained my self very well, my 1 year old is very clingy these days so I tend to cut it short:)

I think the beauty of WW is you can work it to suit your life and not feel deprived, I am enjoying my healthier lifestyle ( gas thing is I had a healthy diet I never ate a lot of take aways or junk I love my vegetables I was not and still am not a big drinker, I gained weight from two very stress full events in recent years, and I think my portion size needed to be looked at. that and a big love of pasta!)

its OK having a little of what you fancy, but getting back on track is the key to successful and sustainable weight loss

FX for bloating it should be well and truly gone by next Tuesday!

Well and truly back on track, I still managed to track over the weekend but this is the first time since I started WW that Iv'e gone out for a meal and drank some wine catching up with an old friend, I just hopped I tracked it correctly ( gave it 10 PP for half a bottle of wine) we had Italian some focaccia bread and I had a pasta dish with tomato sauce yummy and not huge portions either managed to get in some exercise have Zumba tonight which I am living for

Boop22 · 11-04-2012 04:38PM

Have you any eggs? An omelette goes a long way when I'm stuck!

Or have you any small pitta breads? I use them for very low pitta pizzas.

I was down one tonight.... Gahhh it's so slow this time! Still, it was a loss and I'll get there.... Even if it is slow and steady.

Cliodhna26 · 11-04-2012 05:29PM

Thank you very much Bailey Pants..

We had a 'stand in' leader last night! She made a big thing of my loss and it felt great..

My boyfriend lost 6lbs in the week, his first week!

The leader politely reminded us that it's not a competition to see who looses the most but somehow I think that'll be a factor whether we want it to or not!

Got my 10% sticker and my 3rd silver 7 and only 4 lbs away from my second stone!

I'm on a high now and i'm really motivated to loose those 4lbs before the wedding on the 19th of May..

Good luck to everyone for the week...

Das Kitty · 11-04-2012 05:46PM

Was down 1lb.

She took my blue card from me and I'll be getting my gold one next week.

Eep!

Monife · 11-04-2012 06:10PM

As expected, up 2lb

Oh well, new week and all that...

mamie73 · 11-04-2012 06:21PM

Was down 2lb tonite. Thrilled only 3.5lb away from my stone. Going to have a treat nite and then back to it tomorrow!

Thanks I ended up having 2 crispy pancakes for 5pp and 100g of those mc Cain rustic oven chips for 3pp. There was 6 chips in 100g. 6!!!!! Still hungry needless to say but my own fault for having a stupid cornetto earlier :-(

Congrats on ur loss!

Snap!! Just can't seem to stick to it I'm like pacman going around the kitchen!!

bear1234 · 11-04-2012 08:48PM

down 1lb! not expected at all! had a stand in leader too tonight so was dreading being up!

does anybody else feel like sometimes they see the results a week late?? what i mean is sometimes i can be very bad but may still get a good result on the wednesday but then on a week that i might be very good i don't get such a good result? so then after either of those weeks i might see the good/bad result the following week? i'm sorry if i'm not making sense, its hard to explain but i'm just trying to get a grasp on why i'm getting confusing results, sometimes good, sometimes bad!
