Weight Watchers Propoints Plan

[litlemisswonders]

Oh totally Praxis, it is still a loss and I am getting myself back on track now - literally. I have the tracker out and I've got today pretty much pointed. I'm going to aim to point for the whole weekend.

heya's

lost 1 pound and a half. I was rather lazy with tracking this week. Must get butt into gear.

A woman in the class had a few sayings:

"If you bite it WRITE it"

"Put it down or write it down"

Well done Celj! A loss is a loss!

Was it the leader who said those things? We might go to the same class, my leader had loads of those little sayings at the end of class!

Hiya as I thought I put on 1/2 a pound. I'm putting it down to the Toblerone and not walking every day.

So new week, I'm going to give Filling & Healthy a try. I think it might work better for me, get back to the old ways of not snacking during the day. I had three shredded wheat, skimmed milk, blueberries and a yogurt at 8am and was only hungry at 11.30 so had an apple. Having a coffee now and then lunch is a massive bowl of brown pasta with tomato sauce (2 points out of my 49), sugar free jelly and pinapple from a tin. Lots of food.

We'll wait and see.. apparently it takes two weeks to kick in. Anyone else tried it/ trying it?

Hi, I think this is my first time posting. I've been doing wwpp at home by myself for the past almost-3-weeks. I'm 63kgs and am on 29 points a day. I actually find it a struggle to eat all of these most days, so I end us having a full fat yogurt or something in the evening to get to my points level. I don't really use my bonus points, and definitly would not use the whole 35 of them in a week. Thing is, even after 3 weeks, I've barely lost anything - 400g. Can anyone offer any advice?

[litlemisswonders]

SLH - first off, the weeklies are 49 not 35 and without knowing what you are eating I can't really say much. Can you give an example of a days food?

Mine is:

Breakfast
Cheerios, skimmed milk
Banana
5pp

Lunch
WW Chicken Curry / WW Creamy Chicken Pasta
WW Yoghurt
Fruit Snack Pack & Banana
9/10 pp

Dinner
Chicken Kiev / Salmon / Cornish Pastie & beans
Spuds / Chips
Mountain of veg
14/11/12 pp

Snack
Time Out / Snack fingers
2pp

Most days I am either just hitting goal or just over it

49! I'm using the system that I learned at the ww meetings this time last year. I don't live in Ireland, but I don't see how it would be different here.

Anyway on an average week day, I'd eat:
2x slices toast with banana (5 pp) OR porridge with water and a tablespoon milk and sugar (5 pp)

2 x pieces of fruit (if I didn't have the banana)

lunch would be a soup (2 pp), protein (ham or salmon) (2 pp), crackers (1-2 pp) and salad

dinner would be asian chicken soup with loads of veg and noodles (around 7-10 points)
a couple of jelly babies or a square of chocolate (2 pp)
snacks during the day would be a handful of nuts (2-3 points depending)

This gets me to 26 pp, and not hungry. If I am missing points, I'll eat a yogurt.
At the weekends, I'd have a more dinnery dinner (meat and two veg type thing) one night and a very substantial brunch on the sunday. I don't drink a lot of alcohol.

Any suggestions are welcome!

SLH - you seem to be eating plenty anyways! maybe try and add 1pp to each meal? Although the programme here now has changed to 26pp per day and 3 of those to be skimmed milk.

I have been doing the pp system for a year now and am down 43lbs to date.

SLH - when the new system came in last year, lots of people found it took a while for them to lose anything, Im not sure why it happened though. Your daily intake sounds fine, mine would be similiar although with more milk (I love my coffees). Did you think about adding in some exercise, to kick start things?

No it wasn't the leader it was a woman who i was sitting beside me in the class.
