Don't worry. Its quite a common phenomena when you start a new diet and you're feeling well motivated.

Perhaps if it goes on for more than a week you need to look at ways to incorporate more food into your diet so you don't go into starvation mode

Thanks once I get used to eating more food i shall be ok I think it is with been new to the diet . Youve done well losing 8 stone how did you do that

But thats the beauty of WW you can eat loads and still lose weight. You might want to think about using more for luhch and breakfast, 9 isnt a huge amount to have used for both meals.

Just think you can have a bar of chocolate or something with a clear concience.

Thanks Starlight you cant believe you can eat loads and lose weight . I did a fresh fruit salad and I had a bowl full for about 3 points i weighed the apple and it took ages for the apple to get to 1 point had to use another. The ww leader has let me borrow her black new scales and they are really good i think im going to get some if you use them you dont have to use your shopping guide is that right.

Thanks for your help

 

[Starlight]

Youll need your shopping guide too. You cant really weigh everything. I wouldnt be without my shopping guide

 

[Bethany246]

Oh thanks You are a real help when you started did you not eat all your points to start with what is the average weight loss a week on ww.

Thanks

Ive ALWAYS eaten all my points. The first week I lost 6lbs and I lose an average of 3 a week.

I usually save 2 or 3 points a day and have them on a Saturday night as a Take Away but I ALWAYS use them all up by the end of the week.

Its the only way itll work

Hi Marie

Dont know why this is happening im just frightened to eat and bothered if i eat them i will go over my points if i have like you say bigger portions it will use points up a bit better than im having now dont want to go too big so i have not got any left for a treat I only have a sandwich for lunch so i might start having a jacket potatoe with cheese or beans baked
Will have to do something
How do you use your points in the day

 

[Bethany246]

Seems to be alot to eat for your points

Hi
There seems to be alot to eat for your points I cant seem to eat all this food makes you wonder how you can lose weight and eat all this food i have been saving 2 and 2 and half since i started ww.

 

[Bethany246]

Thanks Marie

[Bethany246]

Hi Marie
When i have my bfast i have i might have 2 points or 3
then at lunch it is usually 5 then my tea can average between 6 and 8 then got loads left over

Bethany,

I'll eat your points for you if you like!!

 

[Bethany246]

If you want them

Will have to try harder or eat higher pointed foods

 

[KD]

That's the ticket

You will get used to it, and in a couple of weeks will be wondering how you ever managed to have points leftover.

If you are concerned that you won't have enough points for an evening snack that you might need, why don't you plan the day out, distributing the points so that you know you'll have the right amount?

 

[Bethany246]

Hi Karion
I never plan my meals out but i think that is a good idea then you know what you have got left for the day

 

[Bethany246]

Hi I have tried to even my points out through the day ive had my bfast lunch and a snack and ive got 13 points left for my tea
