WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread

WI tonight

Really regretting all the crap I've eaten/drank over the last 2 weeks...But am back on the wagon and am determined to stay there!

Hoping the small bit of exercise I've done will keep me from going any more than 2 up..I'm prepared for that..any more and I'll be disappointed, but I know its my own fault!

We shall see...still in the game for my stone by 10th April...:)

Fellas are MAD... if mine doesn't see the wrapper he's not bothered.. if he sees a WW logo.. its all "I'm not eating that skinny food!" ... he's been eating quorn regularly now for months and has NO idea.. I'm gonna fool him with the chicken mince too.. I recently tried out the WW jaffa cakes and just put his on a plate and he didn't think I'd be allowed to eat them since I'm pointing everything... :rolleyes:

I tried and failed with the quorn mince. He thought it was disgusting. Asked me what had happened because normally my shephards pie is fantastic!! I nearly wet myself with laughter, and had to tell him. I didn't like it either, it is the texture or something. Not for me.

I seriously do not know about this anymore. I am hungry all the time. As I am writing this my stomac is screaming at me to go down to the kitchen! So far today I have had:

Breakfast 9.30am: 2 x weetabix + milk

Snack 12.15pm: Bowl of home made soup + brown bread w/butter

Lunch: 165g of spiced chicken fillet + broccolli + carrots

Snack : Crunchie

Water: 3 pints

That seems like an awful lot of food to me and I still have 12pp left for dinner. Is anybody else feeling my pain?

I've had to experiment a bit to get it right.. but even to mix it through half and half is a good alternative, just to save some points and cut back on the red meat, I find adding worchestshire sauce beefs it up.. so to speak..

. Oh totally!! I know some people are saying they're not hungry on propoints but I find I am and I'm eating loads of fruit. I find the dinners are much higher in points than before and I used bank on having smaller dinners because I need to eat so much durig the day. I've been drinking mint tea a bit which is no points but fills me up more than water!

Yep! Find my PP are usually enough to fill me but the last while I have been hungry and end up just picking at loads of things, thinking 2PP here and there isn't that bad but it all adds up and I could have had a sandwich!!

I dont know what is wrong with me but I just cant stop with the chocolate recently, and I never used to be a chocolate person. I have a WW bar and 2 aldi sun rice choc things today already!!

Up 1lb. Relatively happy given how bad it could have been!

Onwards and downwards as they say!!

I save my weeklies for treats at the weekend!! I actually don't mind being hungry because I'm not going to starve to death but I am finding the dinners hard to get value for points. Used quorn mince for lasange there and it wasn't too bad! I do find I'm in the frame of mind at the moment where I'm like once I lose the weight i'm going back to my normal dinners etc which probably got me where I am today. Is anyone here on maintenance for a good while(like months to years) and how do they find it?

I'm just eatting quorn cottage pie hehe!

Beef Knorr Stock Pots (the small ones) are 1pp, same as a stock cube...they are expensive....but are SO worth it when cooking Quorn! really adds a beef flavour. and i always use a dash Worcestershire sauce in it too. (i think someone suggested that already)

bit of ground cumin, paprika, garlic, black pepper to jazz it up

well done everyone on the last week, i have to say I thought there'd be much worse confessions here this week with Paddy's Day, the Rugby and the long LONG weekend.

I had a lovely dinner tonight. A large tuna steak (7pp) marinated overnight in Cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic, soy sauce and black pepper. I also allowed myself 70g (dried) of pasta (7pp - isn't that right??) and mixed the pasta with a tbs of WW pasta sauce and 0 pp veg. I am soooo stuffed and it was really nice and satisfying.

Keep up the good work and good luck with weigh in's this week. I have my fingers and toes crossed for myself:P

fofany

Glad to see that I'm not the only one whose hungry tonight. I had only 1pp left, but have just had a massive bowl of Special K, but still have about half of my weeklies left to cover it. Think I will go to bed early tonight to make sure I don't eat anything else! WI in the morning - hoping for a good result.

That made me laugh out loud dubgirl!!
I made a pig of myself on Paddy's day and also on saturday when I had my sister and her family over for the night.
Been exercising as much as possible since, but I don't think it's gonna make a dent in the damage done.

I've just had 2 rich teas, my last food of the day, and I feel like I could just eat everything that's in the house so I think I'll just have to go to bed.

And with the egg whites, to what degree to we beat them to!?

Cheers! Can't remember who posted the recipe!!!

It's mine! Have made it twice.
I whisk the eggs for about 2 mins and then for about 1
With the banana in it. It is sticky when Cooked and quite a wet mixture.. however cook for the full 50 mins to reduce this and I tend to toast it to dry it a bit!! Had toasted with custard tonight!! Bliss

dear god....i think the only reason i'll be losing any weight over the next few weeks is cos i literly dont have time to eat or snack! like i have 3pp left tonight....i NEVER have pp left on mondays....if anything mondays are the days i go into my treat points! literly didnt have the energy or time to have my evening snack.

I think for the next few weeks exercise is not going to happen...when i;m working out all i can think about is how i should be doing assignements and studying and when i'm doing assignments all i can think about is how i should be on the treadmill.

Going to put my energy into eating right....college work and sleeping!

night all....going to be a tough few weeks...its never a good sign when the tutors are starting to panic!!!

First morning of a new week, feeling very positive! Dyed my hair last night and it turned out lovely and the sun is shining, it's putting me in great form!


Determined to track 100% this week and get back in the game

Hi all

I usually weigh on a Tues but I cant STAND my leader so have decided to change to a Thursday meeting instead! Do you know if I can just go to a different meeting on a diff day without having to start again??

Hi, yeah you can just go to another meeting, without any charge, and as far as I can remember, if you continue to go to that meeting,the leader will just ask you to sign something,so your 'her' member, it maybe the original registration form,but you won't be charged anything. Also as a ww member you can go to as many meetings as you like,with no charge,but only can get weighed once a week.

I switched leader last week too, my new leader seems much nicer and so much more encouraging.
Like she said "Enjoy Paddys Day - but not tooo much" and laughed.
My other leader would have put the fear of God into us about how many pp are in guinness etc so we'd leave feeling deflated!

You really are much better going cause then at least if you do go up a little you know where you are starting from and then next week you can appreciate fully the loss you have made!

Yeah I guess so, I'm just such a chicken.
I hate seeing a gain on the scales as it totally brings me down.

rachelryan29

Me too.. but maybe your leader will have some encouraging words to help u out! Im hoping for a better leader from Thurs on as the one I have is a bit annoying and really not much use. I know more about the point system than he seems to know!! Not good....

dammitj

Yeah that's definitely not good!

I don't like my leader as she's not particularly nice or encouraging to me, only to her little favourites, pathetic really!
I've lost 2 stone 9lbs now and I don't think she's ever really said "Well done!" One time she said I was a great tryer.
???

She's no good at giving positive advice, only warning us of the DANGERS of certain foods. She'd nearly scare you into eating only fruit!

Leaders really can have such an impact on you. A few years ago I was going to a class and I wasn't mad about the leader. If I had a bad week, she'd pull a face and go "Oh dear, what went wrong?" I just didn't get good vibes from her and during the class she'd only focus on the people who'd had weight losses that week so if you'd a bad week, she'd make you feel even worse!

I absolutely love the leader I have no.w Even when I haven't been there for months, he always remembers my name and makes a big deal about me coming back. He's such a laugh and if you've had a bad week, he gives encouragement and tries to make light of it (no pun intended!) He makes me want to stay for the class, and he's very personable with everyone.
