I have a question for you guys: I have been doing WW for 4 weeks online now. I have 19 Points a day and I eat all of them (otherwise I'd be starving...). The first two weeks I have lost nearly 9 pds and now the last two week STS! Isn't it a bit early for a plateau?? I eat healthily and do a bit of exercise (6 - 9 pts a week) but not enough to build up so much muscle that it would show on the scales surely?!
Very tempted to cut down on some points but I know I'd be grumpy and probably stuff my face uncontrollably after some days - so rather stick to plan but the odd pds loss here and there would be quite encouraging :cry:

Thanks - your all a great inspiration!!!

I am asuming your having the corect number of points? I would not worry until you have sts for 6 weeks ish....that's a true plateau. 9lbs in 2 weeks is a lot and WW is aiming for 1-2 a week so I think ur doing just fine as u are...stick with it, it will start moving again.

I had a sneaky WI today and I have lost nearly 2 pds so you are right! That's given me a big boost to go on - after all 11 pds in 4 1/2 weeks is fabulous!

Thank you for your answer!!!

Hi all I have heard of weight watchers points but it is something I have never tried.
I as just wondering what the average calorie intake would be a day

 

[Starlight]

Its impossible to answer that. Your points are worked out on a number of factors so peoples point allowances are different. One point is between 55 and 90 calories if the item has almost no sat fat content but points are worked out on kcals and sat fat.

i save 4 points a day monday to thursday then i can have the same as the rest friday night and saturday especialy it has worked so far thats six months i have been at target and plan to keep it off this time

Hey I'm new to this so I hope I do it correctly! I've only been doing WW for about 4 weeks now and so far I've lost 8lbs which I'm really pleased with and I understand what you and the class manager is saying about eating your points. But my problem is I have 29 points a day and there are days that even after my dinner I have only had 17 points! What do i do as I can't get my head round the fact that I have to eat more to lose more? I'm also going to the gym which gives me and extra 5 points a day 3 times a week!! I can't physically eat that much. Ha ha eating a lot never used to be a problem as thats how I've got here in the first place.

Not sure I've made much sense but I'm just struggling a little bit!

Thanks

What kind of things do you eat??

Dont eat WW bread etc have 'normal' bread. Replace things youre having with higher point alternatives, have some snacks. Eating so few is really going to seriously screw up your diet

I have cereal and fruit for breakfast, soup, crackers, jelly etc for lunch and then something of about 7 points for dinner. I also have Quavers or something similar for a snack and I'm usually left with about 9 points each day at the minimum. I drink lots of water and sugar free juice too! I do tend to go for WW stuff tho!

Try having yoghurt or something similar instead of jelly. Buy things like Heinz soup, not WW. 7 points is pretty low for dinner, if you use convenience food avoid WW ones and have a dessert.

Fruit yoghurt instead of jelly +2 points
Heinz soup instead of WW + 2/3 points
Asda Pasta Bolognese instead of WW +2 points
WW dessert + 3.5 points
Walkers crisps instead of Quavers +1.5 points

Theres 11 extra points with really no extra eating. Add a WW Ciabatta or doughballs with dinner and add another 2/3.5 points

 

[bear1982]

Great thanks!! It's so hard to get my head round the fact that I can eat things like Walkers crisps and actually still lose weight!!

 

[Loulabella]

I agree, it's hard. I am only on 9 points so far and have another 11 and I am just NOT hungry! x

 

[Starlight]

Wow you havent eatenmuch Is that 9 for breakfast lunch and dinner??

If youre struggling that much it might be worth planning your days in advance and cutting back on the WW stuff (if you eat it) and pick higher pointed replacements

 

[Loulabella]

Yea, brekkie, lunch and dinner... think I am full on water! lol.... just had a packet of crisps and some ham so up a little... bring on the chocolate eh??? lol x
