Overall

[specialk]

Hi all I joined WW a while back and have been lurking, I joined my first class last week and got weighed, I have a daily allowance of 61 pp and I was told by my leader to eat/drink them... I've been struggling and been bulking up meals with rice pasta and potatoes so I can get near my daily points, but I thinkive put weight on and I'm terrified of going to my meeting tomorrow I case I have!!!

Please help!!

Go go go!! You must. If you have gained the leader will give you some advise, but if you've stuck to the points you should have lost :0) good luck

No really, I think I've over pointed some of my meals out over the weekend as they aren't in the ear out guide to I over pointed them...

I'm still under my dailies and not touched the weeklies the only things I've not tracked is 3 or 4 bits of fruit each day, other than that everything else gets tracked...

I've just put a pair of pants on that was too big for me about 2 weeks ago and now they're very snug :/ so I know I've put on weight!

WW never works for me, all the points just put weight back on...

*sigh*

Aww I'm sorry. Don't know what to say. Hope you make your weigh in though and have a chat with your leader :0)
WW does work. I lost nearly 2 stone before I had my son and now I need to lose 3 stone x

Thanks Emma, I'm sure it really does work but just not for me, 61 pp is an enormous amount to eat and I just can't physically face it unless I have take aways and junk food, but surely that's not the point?

For example today I have only used 33 points and I only have my tea left which is 7pp as its a ww meal... So I am still under...


Argh! Ah we'll weigh in tomorrow see how it goes...

A ww meal isnt much for an evening meal tbh. Just because your on a 'diet' it doesnt mean you have to eat low fat foods, try having semi skimmed or whole milk on cereals/drinks, use full fat cheese, sauces, allow yourself treats etc.

I have 42pp a day and could easily have more by swapping foods about.

Good luck for today

Hi Katy how has it gone:cross:

 

[specialk]

I'm not treating it like a diet and cutting stuff down and swapping for healthier options on purpose, but it's just what's in the house.

I only have the ww meals at night as I work evenings, and have a large lunch so that's followed by a smaller evening meal, like soup or one of the ww options.

The meeting was pants, I had a 3lbs gain which I knew I would as I was advised to eat at least 50 points when previously I ha been eating 45 before going to the classes.

So my leader has suggested to go to 40-45 points and see how I get on, which is more like what I am used to, as prior to going to classes I was doing it online, using 40-45 points as I lost 18lbs or so, so going to the class and being til to eat more was a worry!

Well sorry to hear you haven't had the best start but at you don't seem put off which is great. Hang on in there and stick with what you know works for you!:flowers:

 

[specialk]

I can't be put off, I have a goal in mind and I need to get to it!

I've been marked down to 40-45 points. So we shall see, been at the gym and my best friend is going to teach me how to run!

It is a struggle when you're on a lot of points, I know...currently on 58, but I've been as high as 64 in the past so know it's a bit daunting thinking you have to use them all up. Personally I find I'm eating four meals a day now, whereas I used to do three (albeit larger) meals. I fancy that allows me to spread the points out through the day better, and doesn't leave one feeling so bloated after a meal (which was a problem for me at first, at least). Really I think they should put an upper limit on points (55 at most, I'd say), as it's surprisingly hard for those of us with a larger allowance.
Stick with it, and best of luck. Sure you'll get there.

Much better result today, had my weigh in after the disastrous one last week and I lost a whopping 8lbs

I must have been over feeding my body on all those points I am much more enthusiastic about the plan now just thought I would update
