Lost 2.5 pounds. Neither happy nor annoyed witht that one. My bestie came home from uni this weekend, so we had a chinese. I had half portions of everything, but I still shouldn't have been naughty! Am going to up the exercise and stick religiously to my points this week, as want a 4 pound loss next week! Hope you're all well! x

Hey folks,
So here I am again. Back at WW for the third time. Funnily enough, I've lost 4.5 pounds since I was there last. Think it must be the stress of final year at uni making me lose it. Was just presuming I would have put on a stone(ish).
Can I just ask, am I the only person who is a bit unhappy with the pro points system? It's far too complicated. The wheel is just ridiculous. Is it a ploy to make people buy the calculators? I know most regulars at my meeting have. Surely they're a bit worried about people defecting to SW? Also, I honestly don't know how I'm going to eat all my pro points every day. My allowance is 53 a day. 53!!! I had I think 32 on the old system, and I know it's probably the same amount of food, but it just feels like so much more!
I'm going to give it a go, as obviously they've changed it for a reason, but if I have the same weight loss as I did with regular points, I'm going back to that. I know most people at my meet are still using the old system, and don't want to change!
I have my first weigh-in back tonight, and not sure if I will have lost much at all, as am still getting my head around this, but will let you know how I get on. Got to hold myself accountable!

I think PP does take a wee bit of getting used to, and it's not right for everybody, but I really think it's worth giving it a good shot. I absolutely love it- zero point fruit is genius!! I have had losses that equal or better my losses on Discover, and I also feel that I'm eating a lot more healthily. I loved Discover, but I love Pro Points even more!
The thing I think to do is just put Discover out of your head- no point thinking, oh this was only 2 points, but now it's twice that! They are different plans and work in different ways. I think if you approach it that way and give it a good shot, you'll come to really enjoy it
Good luck with your first weigh-in back!

crooked smile did you go straight from discover to pro pints??this is my first week of doing it and very worried that i wont lose
Have to say that I never took to the Discover programme at all. Loved the one that they had back in 2002 - white books with pics of fruit on them. But I have to say Day 4 on Propoints and I am liking it. Am on 36 points but find I am not using the points all up. Great that fruit is 0 points. Think that you can eat more normally and consider it a DIET as such.

I fell off the wagon for a week inbetween discover and propoints, didn't really do either. So had a very naughty week and gained. Then my first loss on PP was 6 pounds. So some of it was easy to lose in a way because it wasn't a "real" gain yet, but it was also just cos PP is great. Just follow the plan and I'm sure you'll lose
