Weightwatchers - Changing ??

[funcurls]

I dont understand why ppl are saying pp is like sw, Just because they have made fruit 0pts? Like its been said before, ww have made fruit 0pts because its included in the daily allowance (foods pts going up and no 0.5pts) and with the weekly points its always been like this. Just it was done daily but could be saved for weekly, which alot of ppl done anyway for nights out and takeaways.

OK OK I surrender!! It's nothing like SW....totally different...X

If there accurate thanks....

 

[pinkyfluff]

Fish seems quite high to me for some reason, I thought salmon would be but Tuna seems high too? I have a lovely tuna steak in my freezer!

 

[kittykat8]

does everyone get 29 points or is it more the bigger you are I am approx 15 stone I wonder how many

 

[zebredy]

Better eat it before the new plan comes into full force, lol..

But can see what you mean. If I were to be put on 29 points (am now on 19) its gona be 5 times as much and would use a large chunk of my daily allowance, plus bread has gone up slightly too, which is a shame as I love having tuna mayo (extra light mayo) sandwich or bagel, and it seems its gona be a lot for that on this new system even with 10 or so extra points...

Ooh and according to that list, wholemeal pasta is more points for the same amount, even though its healthier (certainly sustains you for longer) I love my brown past so so much...

I wonder who the first Minimins member will be who will get the new plan? It should be someone who goes to a Monday class.

[pinkyfluff]

I have a feeling there is someone who mentioned they have a Sunday class? I am not til Tuesday evening so I will be reading with interest til then. Is the ww esource changing tomorrow or monday? Am thinking I might start using the online tracker wotsit.

[IreneH]

My email from WW said the 8th which is Monday.

[purple_rain]

Im going to class on monday, but im sure that there is a few ppl who go on sunday. I personally cant wait to get the new plan, i didnt really want to change when i first heard but after reading all about it i think it will be really good.

 

[size102b]

Wholemeal pastas higher than White ?

I know we get more points but all foods sound really high even a chicken breast

 

[clarri]

I'm doing it online so hope to be starting on monday! One thing I do find odd is all cereals seem to be 3 for 30g, even the unhealthy ones? Oh well doesn't actually bother me as I'm not a cereal person, just an observation. I am so so looking forwad to getting stuck in. If I can freely snack on fruit then- BARGAIN! How wonderful cause i won't be thinking 'ooh I would rather have a pack of velvet crunch as my evening snack than an apple and pear mid afternoon IYKWIM.

But you can eat as much as you like of comfort foods, chicken is included

 

[Inge Jones]

When I first read about propoints I thought someone was saying saturated fats would be counted differently from unsaturated. But the calculators I have seen seem to be just counting total fat. I wonder if we have the whole story yet?

How do you mean, as much as you like??

I've been following this thread for a while now so time i said hello. Hello all. I was a bit apprehensive about this change initially (i dont like change!) but the last couple of weeks i've hit a bit of a plateau so maybe this is exactly what i need. Our leader asked if we had any questions about the plan last week and we found a few things. Some good like the week before someone had been saying there is no incentive to have a banana instead of a weightwatchers chocolate bar at the moment because they're the same points yet we all know the banana is healthier. Obviously that will change with the new plan so better choices can only be a good thing i guess. Cheese apparently comes off better (few cheese fans at our meeting). But my downfall (pasta) is going to work out about the same. Did notice however in the book we got the mcdonalds burger example. At the moment the burger would be 9.5 points, im only on 18 points so i would be thinking well thats over half my daily allowance i wont have it. With the new plan its 12 points and we have a minimum of 29 so daft as it sounds i would be sat thinking well i've still got over 1/2 my daily allowance left i'll have it. We'll see how it goes. I'm only 3.5lb from my original gold weight (i was a gold member 5 years ago) but i want to loose about another stone so we'll see if i like it.

Thats a bit of a ramble there but thought id share my thoughts.
