many thanks in advance!

Hello there. The minimum pp you're supposed to eat is 29pp per day.

removed - wrong place!

hi can anybody tell me how many pro points my husband would be on? hes 5 ft 10 and 15 stone 10.
thanks new to all this forum thing!!

I don't know if anyone from WW head office ever looks in on this thread, but I'd like to thank you for giving me my life back. My heel spurs used to hurt so bad I could hardly walk, my heart was murmurring to the point of stopping and I couldn't even bend down to put on my shoes without my stomach getting in the way. I felt ugly and depressed, but now I feel fantastic and its all down to a sensible diet that is satisfying, filling and fun. Thank you WW

wow! I don't know either if anyone from WW head office reads this, but surely your story will help many of the miniminis girls who need a focus to lose weight!

You should send your story to their success stories. I did and was invited to a photoshoot... it was AMAZING! Do yourself a favour

I lost 6 1/2 stone on the old weight watcher diet. I started at 15 1/2 stone down to 9 I'm now back to 9s9lb and going to try pro points from tomorrow to try to get back to around the 9 mark.......will let you all know how it goes

Thanks in advance for your help everyone

Sometimes, because of rounding, one thing might be 1PP and two are 3PP (or one is 2 and two are 5). This is because for example, if something works out as 2.4 it would round down to 2PP. However two would be 4.8, which rounds up to 5. This can also occasionally work the other way eg. One might be 2PP but two could be 3PP.

To deal with this, whenever I am having more than one of something, I multiple the nutritional info by however many I'm having before entering into my calculator. That way I know for sure the PP value for exactly the quantity I am having.

I believe the calculator also has the option to put it how many of something you are having, and it will do the multiplying for you!

Hope that helps x

A whole loaf of WW White Danish is 20pp and there are 20 slices in the pack. I did the calculation here Weight Watchers Points Calculator
