Hi all, can anyone tell me how many propoints a 50 year old male, 6ft and 14 stone should be on? Thanks a million.

Have you tried the Spicy Tomato and BNS one? I have that if you want me to post it here. It's very nice.

That's brilliant, well done. Enjoy the shopping trip!

Hey all, I'm back on the wagon lol! I had been going along nicely with WW and then work went crazy which put me off track. I just started back last week after just over 2 months. I had originally lost 12.5lbs and managed to keep 5.5 lbs off. Lost 2.5lbs this week so am back to 8lbs off in total.

2.5lbs for me this week !!

Hey all! Nice to see some losses so far and to those who gained, it's just a blip! 2.5lbs off for me this week. Just a 0.5lb off 1 stone !

Carlylanky140: 64lb (3.5lbs lost, 61lbs to go) Laurenasha: 39.5lb *GOLD*(+3lb, 42.5lbs to go) Littleromany: 24lb (0lbs lost, 24lbs to go) Karen: 50lb (0lbs lost, 50lbs to go) ErinW: 32lbs (0lbs lost, 32lbs to go) Katie68: 40lb (0lbs lost, 40lbs to go) Jackieb68: 35lb (1.5lbs lost, 33.5lbs to go)...

1/2 lb off for me this week which I'm happy about. I had parties, dinners out, lunches out. Watched it to a degree but I had gone over on my points by a good bit. Excercised loads to counter it. I honestly thought I was going for a gain this week, so am chuffed. Well done to all the losers...

And so you should be chuffed! Well done :)

That's great, well done!

That's a great loss Carly, well done. Brilliant Minxy, even better that you had a weekend away and still lost! Edit (Just saw Mama and other Carly's losses too) well done Girls!

Kellie, would you not think of losing something else while you're at it!! Seriously, you don't need negative comments like that. Good luck with your journey :-)

Mother Noah, I was only saying to a girl in my class tonight, who started last week, that I was sitting there 7 weeks ago hearing about all the losses and now I was telling the newbies about my losses. I can't believe it's 7 weeks already and that I've lost 10.5 lbs. So really, anyone can do...

That's great Summer, just goes to show! It's nice to get through little milestones Mother Noah. Bitsize chunks (pardon the pun!) and we'll get there! Well done Stacey, that's a lovely shiny 7 !! :flirt2:

Down 1.5lbs this week so got my 5%! Delighted. Lauren that's brilliant, well done! Stupid TOTM is right and you had to put up with two!! Hopefully it will settle down and you'll have a good loss next week Steph.

Do people leave the skins on or off their BNS chips?? I kinda feel like the skin one's wouldn't be nice, but will wait to hear what people think!!

Brilliant, what a great way to kick off your weight loss!

Bolero, well that's not too bad in the grand scheme of things. I bet you lose well next week ;-) I don't get weighed until later on so I will post later. Good luck to all!

Well, 29 points is the lowest amount of daily points available, but depending on your weight, you might need to be on more. If you post on the thread about how many points you should be on (weight, sex and height) someone will tell you. The weeklies are great because you can save them for...

Agree with Carly, we're all going to "fall off the wagon" (so to speak) I had it the week before last and ended up staying the same, which I was shocked about, beacuse I was sure I was going to put on. It was TOTM as well, so that never helps! Summer, even if you did put on 2/3 lbs that still...

Ah that's great. Nice time of the year too! Don't worry about it, we all have blips! Can you factor it into your weeklies or are they gone? May not be as bad as you think. What did you have?

Hey DB85, welcome (or should we be saying Fáilte!? lol) so when is your wedding? Well done on your weight loss so far.

Hey Holsh, yes you have it! You can use them every day as extra points if needed (so 7 points x 7 days = 49 points) or you can use them for special nights or use half of them for special nights, extra points needed. It's really up to you. I use them sometimes and sometimes I don't and I've...

Yeh, I'm usually ok around time of the month but I just happend to be starving that week one time and I ate more so I sts. However, if I had stuck to points etc I would have had a loss.

That's a great booster alright. I'd say the 1.5lbs is probably more likely what it will be like going forward now. A lot of people lose water weight etc in the first week if you haven't been drinking a lot of water anyway. Before I started WW I would have drank about 2 litres or more of water a...

Hey Curt, yeh I'm into my 7th week now and I'm doing quite well thanks. Week 5 was a bit tough as I seemed to be hungry all the time and went well over my points. I stayed the same that week, which I was very happy with considering. Week 6 I got well back on track and lost 2lbs and so far in...

Hey, just getting a chance to come back to you now. Yeh, that's why I asked your starting weight as I was going to convert it to pounds and then work out the 10%. 10% of 170lbs is 17lbs so I'm not sure why they didn't give it to you. Strange! Ask your leader when you are back. Ask them what...

I'm the same as leigh although for me it was week 5. I was like a savage that week. I ended up staying the same, which I was happy about, because I went over my points! So weird. Things went back to normal the following week and I lost 2lbs and I'm into week 7 now and it's also normal!

That's great! Just goes to show you never can tell what you're going to lose/gain each week.

I'd be happy with a 1 to 2 lb loss next week. Am happy enough to take is slowly because I think I'll stick with it that way. I honestly am not struggling at all so want to keep it that way!

Oops! I was reading it on my iPhone and must have missed the "on" I just read 0.5 for me, lol! Oh well, that's not too bad though.

Well done bolero, that's a great loss. A half pound in the right direction Lauren! Brilliant loss Angie!! That's great minxy, nice to have those mini goals hit. 2lb loss for me this week so am 1lb off my 5%!

Hi Saskya, welcome! Well, you have done so well yourself so far we might be asking you for tips, lol. Are you going to meetings or doing it yourself? For me what I find works is tracking everything, keeping up the water intake (which isn't hard for me as I would have drank 2/3 pints of water...

Tks Carly, I'll check it out.

Hey guys, I've heard a few people talking about the 30 day shred now. Where I can I get more info on it? Tks. Carly, that does sound like a fun/amusing/awkward night all roled into one!! I must have missed your earlier post, but was it a singles night or something?

Hi miss help me, what was your starting weight?

Hey all, never got a chance to update until now. I sts this week and I'm delighted, lol. Because, I was so bad all week. Totm! and I was eating rings around me as they say (well, maybe not that bad). Kept up the water intake (I ususally drink a lot of water anyway) and kept excercising. I was...

Thanks for that Jackie

Hey all can someone tell me how many points a 5ft 7in 25 year old 168 lb male should be on? Tks!!

Well I'm into my 5th week now and I've lost every week. Like Gdundalk I've never felt hungry. I feel like it's a better fit with "reality"!! and will be easier to follow over the long haul, which I'm in for. I want to lose gradually so it will stay off.

Welcome to our new Tuesday weighers!!

Carly don't be beating yourself up. I know that's easy to say. It really is a marathon and not a race. It's better for it to go off slowly and stay off permanently! Initially I was a bit pee'd off with a 0.5lb loss this week and then I told myself to cop on. I had to remind myself of what I...

Hey, as Carly said at least it's not a gain and you know what it relates to. I think I'd be like a demon if I stayed the same and had no idea why!

Well done everyone one the weight losses so far! I'm sure we will have more posting shortly. I'm down 0.5lbs this week and reached my first half stone!!

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm all for using them. I think that in general, and by judging some of the comments I've seen on here, people do feel a little guilty about using them. I think you summed it up well Sam in that WW have researched this and they know what works. We've just got to trust that!

Good luck Vicki, I think it will help that your hubbie is also pointing alongside you.

Damn men, always fecking up our diets. Lol, am only joking. I'm sure you had a lot of fun over those 2.5 months and at least you recognised that you needed to come back. Lots don't and then 11lbs becomes 3 stone! I'd say you'll be back to being a Gold member in no time ;-)

I'm doing good Carly thanks. I've totally gotten into my stride now and hardly even notice I'm following the plan. How are you doing?

Good luck Vicki!!

So what's with the weeklies guilt eh? I'm in my 4th week and I think I'm only now really not feeling bad about having them. In the first week I had a few of them, but felt bad. The second week I had a lot of them and was amazed I'd lost 2lbs. The third week I had about half and lost 1.5 lbs and...

Ok this just made me splutter my tea whilst laughing out loud!

You don't take it away from the total. 10% is simply that of your total start weight. So (as you already got) 157/100*10 = 15.7 which is rounded to 16lbs For 5% of that it would be 157/100*5 = 7.85 which is rounded to 8lbs (or halved!)

Just to say muscle doesn't weigh more than fat. 2lbs of fat is the same as 2lbs of muscle. However fat occupies more space than muscle as it's denser. So the above posters are right and you need to measure yourself too. Well done on your weight loss so far :-)

I use butter

I use them sometimes and sometimes I don't but I have a loss eitherway.

That's great, well done!

Carlyb but you have to look at in terms of what you have to lose. 5.5lbs is 4% of your total body weight. It's easy to forget that when you see people pulling big losses but that's usually because they have more to lose. Plus you've only got a little to lose!! I've only lost 3% of mine so far...

That's brilliant Mammacass24, well done! Welcome bolero982 you're off to a great start!

Well done Carly, that's a great loss!

Down 1.5 lbs myself so 6.5lbs in 3 weeks. Very happy as it's all going to plan! Well done Michillinwoman and Popsicle. That's great !

Awh, I like them. They are harmless idiots and to be fair to them they did a great job on Saturday. 8th place!! That's the nearest we've gotten in years.

Yup, probably. Although I kinda agree with my leader here. Otherwise you could go overboard. So I aim not to have more than 5 portions a day and it's working (so far!!) At the end of the day, do what works for you. That's all that really matters!!

The book, my leader...

Brilliant, well done. Love the dress, lovely colour

Just be careful. It's not "free" it's "zero" points. You're only allowed 5 portions of fruit a day. So, a medium sized banana would be one portion, 8-10 grapes would be another, an apple, 2 mandarins, etc.

Hey Carly, good idea! 1. What is your fave meal of all time? Probably a Roast dinner! or Chicken Pasanda (Yummy!) 2. One thing you couldn't give up? My Laptop or iPhone (I like my techy toys!) 3. Five things you would take to a desert island? Family, Music (couldn't live without...

Just had my weigh in (actually still at my meeting lol) and I'm down 2lbs which I'm delighted with. I really only want to be losing a 1lb a week as I'm in no mad rush and am in it for the long haul!

Hey all, good to have some Irish buddies on as we sometimes get lost when stuff exclusive to the UK is mentioned! I'm in Wicklow. Will post any good point deals I come across!

I still think, even with the varying factors, they could have made a better design. I think it was intentional to make people buy the calculators, to be frank.

Hi all, my sis is considering joining to lose some baby weight (baby is 14 weeks old) she's 5ft 4 inches and 11stone 13 lbs. How much extra do breast feeding mums get on top of the basic 29? Tks!

Well done !

I think that's why this site is great. When you feel like that it's nice to come here and vent and get encouragement from others!

Honestly, don't dwell on it. It happens. Just get back on track tomorrow and it will sort itself out. Look how well you've already done!

You're very welcome. Every little helps!!

Well done! The pics just tell the story of your success :)

I think it's the worst design of this whole change. They really need to fix that! I use an online calculator. Have a home screen app set up to it. Very handy.

Just did a quick calc too and Auburn is right. Nice at 3pp!

That's great, well done

I love nutella. Nice as a chocy fix!

Emm, good ideas!

150g cooked is 4 points in the pocket guide

I use this calculator by the way. Have a short cut app set up on my iPhone home screen so it's very handy! Weight Watchers Points Calculator

Well double up the protein, carbs etc and it will round it up for you. So if it's borderline going over and having two slices makes it 5, that should show up when you double it up. I'm so cautious with it at the moment but I'm sure I'll relax a bit more over time when I get used to it a bit more!

Nice list jojo

Congrats, that's great !

Tweety, do you stay for the classes at weigh in? Maybe at the end of the class ask the leader to go through your tracker to make sure you are pointing correctly.
