Hi
I started the ProPoints plan today, from what i can tell most of the people in my meeting were on 29 points a day (im on 30). You have to use all your ProPoints everyday, you cant save any. On top of this you get an extra 49 ProPoints "Living Allowance" a week to use although you dont have to eat all of them. You can also still earn Bonus Points through exercise.
However, a lot of points values have changed. Eggs are now 2pts each compared to 1.5pts on old plan, and looking in the Eat Out Guide, a Harvester Burger used to be 20.5pts on Discover, its now 30pts, a Harverster Sundae Best used to be 5pts, its now 7 pts, and Special Fried Rice used to be 10pts i think, now its a whopping 23!!
We were told this morning that protein based foods (chicken/cheese etc) will have a lower point value than before and that fruit is not FREE its 0 points (? same thing?) so we had better not just eat fruit and expect a weightloss, LOL!
Also, if your an online/esource member, we were told to erase all the foods in our favourites list as the website will not update these automatically when it switches over (it will switch anything else though) and then put them in again using the new system.
Seems to be okay so far, Im only half a point over my daily allowance so ive taken half a point off my weekly allowance, only another 48.5 left for the week
