2.5lbs off tonight. :D Lost 4 stones just before I go on holiday to Orlando!!!!

Well done everyone & thank you for all the encouraging messages. Keep going with the weight losses & don't give up, even if one week you put on or stay the same or don't lose as much as you would have liked. It will come off in the end & you will feel so much better for it. I feel a lot more...

Started on 11th Jan this year. Had a couple of blips on the way but I persevered, & I am so glad I did.

Another 1.5lbs off for me. :p. Just need to lose another 2lbs then I will have lost a whopping 4 stones!!!!!!!

1 1/2 lbs off tonight.

I lost 1/2 lb two weeks in a row, and then lost 3lbs. I think its just your body adjusting to having less food. Good luck in getting into the 14's.

Put on 1lb last week, :cry: lost 3lbs this week :D. Lost 51lbs in total now.

Hi,does anyone know how many propoints in pimms? (For a 25ml measure)

No-one knows??? What a useless bunch we are!!! LOL!!!!!!!!

Hi, does anyone know how many propoints in a can of pear magners?

2lbs for me. :D. One more pound and I will have lost 50lbs!!!!!!

Please, can anyone help????????:wave_cry:

Anyone know propoints for dishes at Wagamamas????

Lost 2lbs tonight, yay:)!!!

Sts last night- bit disappointed but I ate later than I normally would on weigh-in day & didn't do much exercise over the dreary bank holiday:wave_cry:

I've lost 45lbs since January, I lost 0.5 lb 2 weeks in a row, then I lost 4lbs. On average I've lost 2.3lbs a week so far. I don't always eat all my weeklies but I do use a fair chunk of them on some wine which I thoroughly enjoy without feeling guilty. Stick with it, and the weight will come off.

1.5lbs off tonight- lost 45lbs in total now. So, so happy. :D

I would advise staying at the meetings if you can. You meet some really nice people & get some hints and tips too. The classes always really motivate me.

It's great isn't it!! I often make some homemade veg soup at the weekend for zero pp so I can have some wine without using too many points.

I started ww mid Jan & I have also lost just over 3 stones eating normal food & having alcohol at times. I don't use ready meals, i cook everything myself. You will be fine on ww & will be able to eat normal food!!!

Just wanted to say, if you have a few weeks of not losing much- don't give up, just keep at it & the weight will come off. I had 2 weeks of only losing 1/2 lb each week, I tried to do a bit more exercise, nothing drastic, and this week I lost 4 lbs which included a bottle of cava whilst watching...

4lbs off tonight!!! :D

It's coming to me too but I think those in Scotland & Ireland should email weightwatchers and complain.

I like the rib eye steak, jambalaya, mango & chilling salmon fillet, chicken cajun pasta & the creole fish pie. Could you let me know the propoints for all those please.

I try & change what I have for breakfast & dinner but I do tend to eat the same lunch. I eat at my desk at work as I don't get a lunch break so I tend to eat ryvitas. Can anyone suggest anything else i could eat for lunch?

Does anyone know propoints of food at old Orleans restaurant???

I have been doing ww propoints since January & I have lost 39.5 so far which I'm really pleased with, but my weightloss has slowed down over the past 2 weeks. Can anyone give me any tips on how to boost my weightloss??? I want to lose,another 4,stone at least .

In the shop guide, most sugar free gum is 1 pp for the whole packet- ww sugar free sweets are the same so makes sense. But, some sugar free mint were 7 pp for the packet - I was so shocked. Surely its a mistake???

If the product isn't a weightwatchers product, how do we know they are pointing the food correctly in the first place?

It definitely said pro points on the packaging so I presume it was for the new plan. I wonder whether they are aware of how you work pp out. On discover you used saturated fat content, not the total fat content so maybe they did that. Just a guess.

Thanks!! I thought they would be more, 4pp isn't bad for how big they are. :D

I am sitting with a cup of coffee & looking at the cookies which are calling out to me to eat them but I daren't until I know how many pp's in one of them :confused: can anyone help???

Yeah, I've had days like that too, usually around TOTM!!!! Luckily the need to be slimmer is stronger than the need for chocolate or other high fat foods!!

I have decided to not get obsessed over dieting & my new mantra is going to be "I eat to live, I don't live to eat."

Just thought I would let you all know that I bought an M&S count on us Asian salad with rice & prawns (sorry, can't remember the exact name) but on the pack it said it was 3 propoints but when I checked the nutritional values using the calculator on my phone, it came out as 7 propoints. Quite...

The belvita breakfast biscuits do fill you up so they,are worth the 6 pp imo.

It is a good feeling when all our hard work is noticed!!!

Lost 1.5 lbs tonight!!!! Only 3.5 lbs to go til I have lost 3 stones!!! :D

4 sprays of fry light is 0 pp so as long as you don't use more than that it is free!!!! I don't count paprika either, well we don't count salt or pepper do we :cool: keep an eye on the bns- I left mine in the oven for 40 mins & they were burnt to death!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't anyone know the correct propoints for rump steak?????????????*

Can someone please help!!!!

I have put some rump steak out for dinner & I am now trying to work out the pp's for it. I've had a look on minimins & have seen conflicting points values- from 10pp for 125g, 10pp for 225g and 3pp for 100g. I am even more confused now!!!!:confused:

30g of mixed nuts is 6 pp!!!

I am so glad that I'm not that keen on chocolate!! It just makes me really thirsty! Now wine- that's a different story!!!

What bread are you using to make toast with? Bread can be as much as 4 points a slice!!!!! Why not have some crumpets in the evening? Or what about some nuts??? Almonds, walnut etc are really good for you. They are 6 pp for 30g. That will use up some of your points.

Ok, thanks for that ;)

If I know I'm going out, I eat fruit for breakfast, homemade veg soup for lunch- all of which are 0 points which gives me 78 points for a great night out!!!! It does mean I use all weeklies in one night but it works for me. I've done this before & still lost weight!!!!

Thanks!!! Actually could you let me know also how many propoints in nuts. I have some mixed nuts- almonds, Brazil nuts, walnut & hazlenuts. I thought I read somewhere it was 3 pp for 30g but not sure!!!

They only gave us the caesar dressing. We left it- was too worried the points would be too high!!!!

The grilled chicken salad is 3 pp in the eating out guide but it doesn't say whether that's with the dressing or not. Does anyone know if it does include the dressing, which comes separately with the salad.

Hi, just been weighed & have lost 4 pounds this week. :D I was really shocked!! I drank a bottle of wine last Friday, went out for dinner on Sat, had glass of wine & cheesecake for pudding!!!! I have been eating homemade veg soup with 0 points for lunch!!!

Lost 1.5lbs tonight- really pleased as I drank loads of wine on Saturday & although i had kept all my weeklies for it I was still worried I may have put on. I love propoints!!!!!! :D

Having to buy trousers in a size 18 as the size 22 ones I bought last Christmas kept falling down on the way to work!!!!! And the 18's were quite loose too!! :D

We are staying in a villa in lindfields, 10 mins drive from Disney parks. Hope you have a great time there!!!

How do you manage to spend so little???*!!!! I go to tesco's once a week & spend about #100. That is for all household stuff as well as food for 2 adults & a growing 12yr old boy!!!!

Wow! Bet you were surprised to lose a pound. Well done!! I had a bad c couple of weeks a while ago- drank lots of wine &,beer & basically ate crap. When I went to face the music i was sure they were going to say I'd put on about half a stone but it was only half a pound!!!! :D it also gave me...

My weigh in is on a Tuesday at 6:30pm so I have a light snack about 4ish & don't eat my dinner til after the meeting at 8-8.30.

I cook the same meal for my oh & my ds. They just get bigger portions. I just make the foods lower fat. They don't even notice any difference ;)

Not sure if this is true but I think I heard that you do weigh more once you'be been up for a while after lying down in bed. Something to do with gravity. That might explain why you weighed more the second time but it may also be a load of rubbish!! :D

Well done!

I think some people use their weeklies regularly while others don't. I try & keep them for special occasions. I find 29 points is fine for me but everyone is different so you need to find what works for you. I have learnt to love fruit & veg & fill up with them.

Another pound (or as my ww leader says- 8 fat sausages!!!) off. I'm loving propoints!!!!!!:D

I lost 7lbs in my first week. Big losses can be quite normal when you first start to follow ww. What a nasty woman- I would complain about her. She is supposed to be there to support you not put you down. Good luck in your future weight loss. ;)

You should measure yourself. Sometimes you see a difference in inch losses quicker than in pounds. Also, pick an item of clothing like a skirt or trousers that are a bit tight & try it on once a week. You may be pleasantly surprised.

There is no reason why it can't be you. If you want something bad enough, you will do what it takes to achieve it. Look forward to reading your success story in the ww magazine soon!!!!! :)

I agree- i would go to your doctor and get them to do a complete medical on you. Something obviously isn't right if you're not losing weight and doing all the exercise. It may be something to do with your thyroid

If old clothes stretch then all my old clothes would fit but they don't. Some do & some don't although the sizes are the same. Bit of a strange answer :confused:

What is the deal with clothes sizes in the shops??? I have a pair of jeans from m&s size 18 which were tight at the beginning of the year but since losing 30lbs with ww, they now fall down without a belt but when I tried a pair of size 18 trousers in m&s the other day, they were too tight...

Good luck tomorrow xxx.

I wouldn't bother with the ready meals. Just adapt meals you cook so they are low fat. Bet your hubby won't even notice!!! I cooked a chicken curry from a ww cookbook last night & my 12yr old son asked if there was any more!! Stir fries with lots of veg is another good tip.

I only use my weeklies for special occasions so yes it is doable. You only have to last 4 days!!

It must be really hard when you gain after being good. Try & look at your weight loss over a month rather than weekly. And track everything for a week, every thing that you put in your mouth. I did this right at the beginning- its shocking how all those extra bits of food add up that we don't...

I walk through the shops and see all the summer clothes & know I would look awful in them unless I lose some of this horrible fat. :rolleyes:

They were my least favourite of the ww choc bars. I'm not a great fan of chocolate. I love the ww peanut bars. I could eat loads of them but at 3 pp each, I better not!!!!!

Hi, good luck in your weight loss journey!! This site has been a godsend to me. Hope you find it useful too. ;)

Hi, I love propoints. I don't feel like I'm on a diet at all- in fact its not a diet, its a change of lifestyle for me. I could quite easily carry on with pp for the rest of my life. You can eat foods you enjoy. You get minimum of 29 pp per day & 49 pp per week. It may not work for everyone...

The scales show you're in the next stone down. I felt I was in the 14's for ages but finally the scales had 13 on them!!!! Can't wait till they show 12's now!!! :)

Well done!

Woohoo!!!! Lost 3 pounds tonight. Lost 30 1/2 pounds in total. So happy :D

I don't normally use them, except on special occasions, like going to TGI's for someone's birthday!!! ;)

I had a crap week a few weeks ago & was sure I had put on at least half a stone but at weigh in, I only put half a pound on! And that was over 2 weeks!! The weigher said I was probably more careful than I realised.

I weighed the same as you when I started in January. I've lost 2 stones since and feel so much better already. Keep up with the walking, drink lots of water & green tea (good for metabolism) and hopefully you will see a big weightloss at your next weigh in. ;)

Bet you're really pleased with yourself! Well done! I'm off to Florida end of July-still got loads more to lose before then.

How rude of your colleague. Sorry to hear about your nan. Hope you can stay motivated and lose loads of weight to make your colleague really jealous!!!!

A few people at work have noticed now & commented. I think of them more as friends than colleagues so it was lovely to hear. I have kept quiet about ww so far- will tell them my secret once all the weight has gone!!

Almost 2 stone lost but another 5 to go!!! That will put me at the low end of my ideal weight for my height which is what I want!!

I have lost almost 2 stones yet no-one has noticed at work. I can tell- my trousers are much looser and I can fit into clothes I havent been able to for ages but I wish others would notice too!!!! How much have people lost before others have noticed????:confused:

Lost 2.5 pounds tonight. Only 1/2 pound off losing 2 stone!!! Everyrtime we lose a stone our ww leader gives us a little stone to help us remember how much weight we have lost. People put their stones in all different places!!!

I must get some meringue nests!! They make a nice pudding for hardly any points with some fruit & low fat ice cream. How many points are in snack a jacks? The large ones and the small packs???

I like a couple of crumpets with a small bit of ww jam on or ryvitas with extra light cheese portions. There are some ww crisp too. The hula hoop type ones are pretty tasteless but the ones like wotsits aren't bad.

Bet the title got your attention!!!! I've just been reading some stuff on the internet where people have basically been saying that diets don't work. What a load of rubbish!!!! Diets do work- except they shouldn't be seen as diets but as lifestyle changes. We go to weight watchers because we...

I don't have that problem with chocolate-I can take it or leave it BUT if I open a bottle of wine I find it very hard to just have the one small glass!!!!! Especially after a hard day at work! And there's loads of pro points in wine too :rolleyes:

My motivation for losing weight is for a holiday of a lifetime to America in July. The thought of fat thighs rubbing together really spurs me on to stick to my diet. Does anyone else have any other reason???

Does anyone know how many pro points in old el pas original bbc fajitas- including the chicken, peppers and onion? I love them but have no idea how to point them

Lost a pound tonight. :(

Weigh in in 1 1/2 hours!!! Did have some wine last week but hopefully weeklies will have covered that. Had a 5lb loss last week so not expecting huge loss tonight.

Southerner here!!! From Reading in Berkshire!:p

I've never done sw so can't say if its good or not but I have always lost weight on ww and I am never hungry. How can you get hungry when fruit & veg is zero points????????!!!!!!!!! :o

I try and eat 2 or 3 pieces of fruit a day and I've lost 24lbs in 8 weeks!!:D:o

I make myself have breakfast at home. Either porridge made with water & blueberries on or special k with a banana cut up on it or even a couple of crumpets with low sugar jam. If I don't, I am starving at work & working next to a marks & Spencer is too tempting!!!!!!

Has anyone made any recipes from any of the ww cook books? I've made the chicken pot pie and the prawns & crab noodles. Both lovely. I did rice with the pot pie for those not on a diet but I just had the pie and it was really filling.

Well done!! I've read that you lose weight slower on pro points than the old ww system BUT that is a good thing because it means you're losing fat, not muscle.

What about a Jamie oliver fish pie? Make some mash potato. Grate some carrots, celery and ww cheese into a dish. Finely chop a chilli and put zest of a lemon into the dish. Get fish mix from tescos. &prawns & put in dish. Squeeze lemon over. Put bag of spinach & some halved tomatoes in as well...

I think I might treat myself to some wine tonight using some of my weeklies!!!

Hi, just wondered what everyone uses their weekly points on? I'm always a bit worried about using mine. Can't get my head round the fact you can eat so much and still lose weight!!!!

Lost 5lbs!! 24lbs lost in 7 weeks on pro points!;)
