DOCTORWHOGIRL Ultimately you need to be the one to decide what best suits your body, you have done absoloutly fantastic and are an inspiration to me and I am sure the other ladies who have a lot to go. Do you attend classes if so ask your leader I am sure she has experience of this type of thing and will be able to offer advice. It is amazing how hard the last few punnds are to lose, maybe you could alter your diet a little or do more exercise. Whatever you decìde keep remembering how well you have done!

Thanks Astra!
I do attend classes, and the leader is great, but does rush us at the scales!

Thing is, I am now 5 pound above my WW goal, which I got to last June. I got to it through hard work, but lost a good pound a week to get there.

I seem to be dancing around the same half stone for the past 3 or so months with no great shift despite a real effort, particularly since January.

I exercise at least 3 times a week and a few light bits thrown in with that!

I understand what you mean though about listening to my body!
Just curious to see was anyone else finding the same with propoints?

Well done to everyone here btw. It's been a while since I dropped by and you're doing brilliantly!

Kasmir! Defo not undereating! :P

Be careful with the merginues! It's 1 pp for a nest weighing only 12grams! I got the supervalu own brand at the weekend, and they are 20g each, so 2pp per nest! Still good value for a treat! Had them last night for Valentines with blueberries, grapes and strawberries and some of the Linessa Spray Cream from Lidl - 1pp per tablespoon

Just weighed my Merguines they are 25 grammes ooooops!!!!
Nust try the Linessa as i find i through out some of the WW as i dont have it that often or else throw it in my soup kinda beats the purpose of making zero point soup when i stick 2 points of cream in it

its so sad isnt it? i feel exactly the same Eabhabear
myself and hubby would be out and about and id catch a glimpse of myself in a reflection or something and be horrified at waht id see or (this is going to sound awful but) see someone overweight and feel like im the same size even though my husband insists im not but its easy for him to say but its how i feel so far ive lost 1st since jan 4th and still going strong

its just so hard to shift that perception of yourself that you've lived with for so long

That is the same as me! I am always comparing myself to other people. When I see people the same size as me (according to friends anyway) they always look a million times smaller then me. Last time I lost the weight I got down to the same weight as my friend, we fit into each others clothes but I was still convinced that to everyone else I still looked like the fat friend out of the 2 of us!

I hate how your perception can change so quickly, like you say a quick glance in a mirror or look a photo can instantly ruin a day that you may have been feeling like you looked good!

Down 1/2 lb so not too bad I suppose!! On and upwards!! Writin this
From spin bike I'm gym waiting for class to start.. Hoping for my first silver 7 next wk..

Just caught up on todays postings. Well done for those who had a good loss & well done too who weren't too happy with their loss - a loss is a loss. Maybe it's all that water you all seem to have been drinking! I don't eat or drink anything before my WI, but it's easy for me as my class is at 9.15am & I go straight there after I leave the kids to school. And for anyone who had a gain - been there, done that & that was after a good week. There's nothing for it but to keep going. After my gain, I had a 4lb loss the next week - kinda made up for the previous week's disappointment!

Well, here in France I have had my 3rd bad day in a row. I always start off well, having my 30g packet of porridge I brought in the suitcase. We went into Disney this morning & our friends (who were going home today) texted for us all to meet up for lunch. The restaurant had no healthy options:eek:. Had a burger & chips & enjoyed every mouthful. The kids didn't eat all theres & at least one thing being on WW has taught me - I didn't eat their leftovers, but I would have before. Made a healthy (but maybe not low pp) chicken fried rice for tea when we came home. Also went swimming, but only for 10 mins as the water was so cold & youngest's lips were turning blue, so had to take her out. I know I could go back now for one as she is sleeping, but its freezing & wet out there & the thought of getting back into that freezing pool just doesn't appeal! Thinking of taking a day away to myself tomorrow & head into Paris (shopping more that sightseeing). Hubby has booked to take the kids to the princess lunch, but I really need to stop all this eating out, so the booking is for 3 instead of 4 & I can make a healthy wrap & bring some fruuit in my rucksack to munch as I walk around Paris. Au revoir.

Hey all!!!
Long term weightwatcher and I have to say I'm seriously concerned about these propoints!!!!

My first couple of weeks were ok.

I find that now I'm literally maintaining and not losing at all over past few weeks despite being very good.

I've never gone two weeks and stayed the same at ww so I'm a bit frustrated.

I've only 12 pounds to go to get to my personal goal, having lost around 6 stone.

Just want to know is anyone else feeling the same?

Am thinking of just returning to points!

Hi Doctorwho, I remember a few years back a girl in a class I was in was struggling to lose the last few pounds and the leader went through her tracker, it turned out she was drinking a lot of diet 7-up, the leader suggested she gave it up, and also to try eat more points at lunch time and less at dinner. That girl lost the weight within a couple of weeks, anyway just a suggestion!

I'm so stupid! I threw the packet away but all I remember it saying was that it was lean, don't think it said extra lean or anything!

200g of standard beef mince is 12pp

As promised some details from meetin this evening.
It was mostly about portion sizes and the importance
of weighing foods if in doubt.
Some propoints: dolmio sweet pepper stir in 4pp s
Youngs cod fillets in butter sauce 3 pp s each
dunnes stores own brand "better for you" stone ground wholemeal
1slice =1pp
2slices=2pp.

dunnes stores own brand "better for you" stone ground wholemeal
1slice =1pp
2slices=2pp

No way? its 2 for mccambridges and 5 for 2 slices!????

You should be able to! Did you try Dunnes? I find them quite good, and better than Tesco if you want to buy WW stuff, which I don't really except for the hot choc, biscuits and the dessert style yogurts which are yum!

I'm having WW bread this week so I can save more pp for the evenings. I like to have something for dinner and save a couple of pp so I can have a couple of rich tea biccies or something later, otherwise I feel deprived!!

Dunnes stores have a bread, I think it's the Dunnes stores better for you granary bread and it's only 1pp per slice, it's nicer and slightly more filling than the ww bread!!
