Hi,
I never thought it would be possible that I ever go back to WW. But I did (probably because the classes are just next door and the Slimming World classes are miles away...haha)..No, really I just needed some motivation to start losing weight again and thought I could try the new pro points plan. I am usually a convinced Slimming World fan..however, due to some lifestyle changes (which means I am more or less sedentary now) I can't really lose weight on SW now... On the other hand (when I was fitter) I was always hungry on WW. But I thought I could give the new plan a go. I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the scales last night..I really wanted to die!!
I developed a severe depression and I know that I have to make changes but when you are already in a cycle of not wanting to do anything it is really hard to even do a little bit of exercise. When I go out I walk a lot to places rather than taking the bus but that doesn't really help, I need to do proper exercise.
Anyway, I have had a first look at the plan and today is my first day. I have not had the opportunity to go shopping yet so my breakfast choice this morning was a bit limited..
1 wholemeal toast (3)
1 poached egg (2)
1 cup of ss milk (4)
3 slices thin ham (1)
1 Orange (0)
So that's 10 already and I wil be hungry again soon. for sure...Will have to figure out the most satisfying breakfast as I go along..
I was a bit surprised that despite the fact that the new plan emphasizes protein and fibre so much, they only have pictures of white bread in their literature (doesn't contain a lot of fibre really)...But I like the fact that calories are not really being taken into consideration on this plan but rather the carb, protein, fat, fibre ratio.
Also, from my SW days I liked buying scan bran (you get that in Holland & Barratt) and you can make really nice cakes with them (using egg white!!) and they are only 0.75 propoints piece (well 6 points per 100g)..Maybe I'll make a WW friendly scan bran cake - it's unbelievably filling!!
Hope to get some support here and recipe ideas
Have a great day!
