I can't understand why WW give 49 weekly PP if they think that 29 per day is too many... ?

Susie25 said:If you're losing weight steadily on 29pp then you are doing the diet properly i.e not eating too much fruit and not underestimating the point value of your food, lowering it by 3 pp (120 cals approx) will help if you eat a lot of fruit especially bananas, they can be up to 120 cals each, pears and apples are about 50-60 cals each. I personally lose on 29 pp plus my 49 weeklies, I have no more than 2-3 bits of fruit per day and when I do this properly I lose up to 3lbs. When I under eat I tend to stay the same or have a small gain or a small loss which can be really demotivating as I feel I have starved all week for a measly 1/2lb loss. Also I try to spend all my 29pp on my 3 meals a day and spend the 7 weeklies a day on snacks.
I've also tried having all my weeklies in the 3 days after weigh in and then just 29pp for the rest of the week and lose about 2lbs each time I've done this.
That's really interesting to read Susie, I was feeling positive about dropping to 26pps at the weekend but now I'm not really too sure, I don't seem to have a pattern like you but how I wish I did or would like to develop a routine but I've got a feeling I'm gonna mess up this week.
I WI on a Friday but I've near enough blown all my weeklies already this weekend and I've noticed from doing my meal plans this week what an actual big drop it is although it's only 3pps and without weeklies I think I'm gonna struggle.
I'm desperate for 1lb loss Friday coz then I would've lost 2 stone but I reckon it'll be a STS

Susie25 said:Tracy just for this week try and eat all your weeklies by the end of today and then the next 4 days religiously stick to 29 even if it means weighing your food to get the correct amount.
Try to avoid anymore snacks and fill up your meals to make the 29pp and have 3 bits of fruit in-between meals.
Make sure you count your milk allowance. It might mean looking at what you have to eat and choosing some healthier options but it can be done.
Report here on Friday to let us know how you got on.
I personally am doing the simply filling for a week and see how that goes, I've never done it before but have had a really big bowl of porridge for breakfast, 2 eggs, beans and ham for lunch and I have a really large jacket potato with prawns and salad for tea with fruit and jelly as snacks and a couple of biscuits for supper. Also a milky coffee later on this afternoon.
Ok Susie, thank you. Do you have a food diary on here?

Susie25 said:No I don't I do WW online and fill in my tracker there, but seriously considering starting one.
Fingers crossed you get a good loss this week.
Cheekypasterfield said:I say if you're losing on 29 don't drop down until your weight stalls.
I got to gold on 29 points and only gained twice (both times was when I came off the plan) my losses were between June to Oct 11.
I'd keep the 26/27/28 as an option if you plateau, why restrict yourself if you're still getting losses?
Cat Lover Sue said:I agree with you all. But it still has me confused as to why folk who were on more than 29 points have had theirs dropped as well. I thought it was an option for those already on 29 who were plateuing (sp!)
Susie25 said:Sorry to be thick but how do you add a link to your diary on your signature?
I've just started a diary called susie's diary.
