WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread

PinkChick

eimear1 and nanofano, you are both doing amazing!! well done, you should be so proud of yourselves. this thread is great, i find it to be brilliant because you feel that people are wondering how you did if that makes sense!

i went last night and was up 0.5. happy enough all things considered. i think its important when you have a bad week to see the results on the scales! makes me realise i cant get away with it.

foundry that is so true about exercise. i did none last week. this week i am going to try and do at least three runs and hope that will help me catch up. am pretty determined points wise so even if i have one or two less than perfect days, i am hoping the running will help.

Hi all,
Been reading the posts over the last few days, but haven't had a chance to post.
I'm totally shocked that a WW leader could send around an offensive e-mail like that. Fair play to Eimear for doing the right thing and bringing it to the attention of HQ. Hopefully they will deal with the matter appropriately.

Everyone seems to be doing really well this week - congrats all! We're all very focused for Christmas!

WI tonight, haven't done much exercise, but haven't been bad food wise. Fingers crossed the results are ok!

Slaygal

Wow Eimear1 ! what an amazing loss very well done
Have my WI tonight, I've been ok food wise but like you Pink Chick didn't manage to exercise as much as I would have. This if I can stay the same I'll be happy.

PinkChick

Slaygal if it makes you feel better I wasn't ok food wise :-) The weekend I was so bad, I undid the few good days and then some.

Hey everyone! Haven't posted in a while but still always checking in to read the updates...
I was hoping someone might be able to offer some advise.. I FINALLY reached goal this morning and am over the moon!!! Just in time too for a shopping weekend with some friends
The only thing is my leader mentioned that i'll need to maintain for a few weeks and then I can get a gold card.. I'm not really sure though how long I need to do the 'maintenance' for and whether or not it's ok for me to put on any weight in the next few weeks (very possible considering I'm off to Dublin this weekend with the girls
I had planned asking my leader these things after the meeting but I had to rush off to work.. If anyone could help with those questions I'd really appreciate it.

Best of luck everyone in the last few weeks before Christmas!

Hey! congrats on reaching goal!! my leader told me that you have to come back for 3 weeks and maintain and I think there's 5lbs leeway of your goalweight either way! hope that's right and helps congrats again!!

Slaygal

Just back from WI -1.5lbs I was hoping for 2lbs down but a loss is a loss

Monife

Hey Everyone! Well done on all your weight loss!

I just joined Weight Watchers 3 weeks ago (am starting Week 4 today) and so far lost 12.5lbs, lost 3lbs last night.

Have about 7 stone to go, but just taking it 1 stone at a time.

Have my Graduation tonight and I would say there is going to be a lot of alcohol consumed, I just hope I can stay within my saved points (16) and stay on the Vodka and diet drinks.

EJKING

Cheers hopefulloser, thanks for the info.. three weeks ain't so bad!!

Yay, went to WI this morning thinking I would prob be up - but I lost 2 lbs! That makes 13 - only I more to my first stone! I say first cos I'm determined to lose another one. In WW before I always lose commitment at this stage so please God I can keep going! I'm inspired by the stories I read here - yez are all brilliant

eimear1

Woohoo - WI today, down another 2 lbs, so delighted, was only through food control as haven't had time for much exercising this week (anyone else ever wish you could give up work and all other responsibilities just to concentrate properly on this!!!?)

I was lucky enough to have 4 months off from college this summer and thats how I lost my weight so quickly and easily but the minute it hit September, I was only losing half pound here and gaining etc... but great loss this week Congrats.. I'm on maintenance now and I do WW at home, so when should I weigh myself, I feel like I want to continue doing it every week just to know where I stand but then I dont want to be too controlled

Lady Lainy

Thank god this week is over! I have been frazzeled all week cos of a nightmare work placement for college! But finally its the weekend! I have rest, relax, SLEEP, and re-tune my focus.

Feet up tonigt with lo-cal hot chocolate and the toy show i think. and sleep in tomorrow! Not sure where I was reading it, but Sleep is a vital part of a healthy weight loss plan. I believe it! I know if i don't sleep I will crash and burn and nose dive off the "ww wagon".

enjoy your friday nights all.

Hi everyone,
Been following this thread for quite a while now and it seems to be very supportive, so decided to finally join up

Have been a ww member countless times over the years and re-joined yet again earlier this year hopefully for the last time :rolleyes:

Seems to have finally 'clicked' this time, down 3 & a half stone so far with a long way still to go but beginning to believe that I CAN do it this time.

Well done Eimear...
I definately wish all I had to concentrate on was WW.

The last two weeks have been crazy...boyf has been in hospital for 10 days, work is extra busy and about to get busier.
When I first joined we took turns cooking...well whoever was home first put the dinner on and I was able to concentrate on getting in exercise every day. Plus it didn't get dark till much later.
I'm really struggling now that it's dark when I'm leaving work and I have to come home and sort out dinner before going for a walk.
Was planning on doing a long one this morning, but Mother Nature had other ideas.
was up a half this week and was a little bit disappointed, because although I hadnt done much exercise, my food choices had been good enough.

Sorry for long post.

the snow is here which means I cant go jogging, im snapping because I didnt go thursday or friday because those days are my days off... Im prob gonna risk it and try jog in the snow :P I HAVE TO

Muirgheal

Kildareash, hang in there- it's really tough having to juggle all that you have going on.

ill just go out in a bit and see sure if i cant jog ill just walk for an hour or so

kildareash

Thanks muirgheal, feel better after my little moan.
I suppose we all hit sticky patches but it's learning not to pick up the crisps and chocolates this time that's the hard part.

Alpha, please be careful if u do go out today. It wld be alot worse to miss one days run than a few weeks!

Meant to check into say I lost a stone in 3.5weeks on propoints. I loved it, found i was never hungry. I have three to go but made a flying start and it didn't feel like dieting.

Thanks.

I just used your data in my propoints electronic calculator,

Youll be on 29 daily propoints, and 49 bonus weekly propoints,

Here is a link for working out the propoints of foods,
