WeightWatchers & "How Many ProPoints?" Thread MkII
Comments
-
Well I was at Body and Soul over the weekend and I'm hoping for a STS tomorrow. I made good enough food choices - given what was available. I drank so so much though so used a few weeks worth of weeklies! I'm hoping hours of dancing and endless walking around in mud will earn me several activity points though! Even if I'm up though, I don't care - I had a great weekend, and can lose back whatever I've gained
Good luck to everyone with their WIs this week!
Did you have a good time! I ate and drank so much- had to try the food from every stall - hah! But with the constant walking and 4 trips in and out to the car with heavy stuff I'm hoping the damage was limited!
I had the lightly dusted cod from Aldi for dinner last night and it was sooo tasty - would highly recommend it! I think someone said on here recently it is 4pp per piece of cod?
Also, has anyone been watching Gok cooking chinese food? Looks soooo tasty and healthy - gotta try some of the recipes! 0 -

I find the toughest the side lunges with the arm lifts....really struggle with those, think the rest are fine with the 1.5kg weights.
I struggled with this bit as well and could never complete it fully. What I've done now is I only use one weight rather than 2. Jillian does say you can modify things as long as you keep moving.Thinking of gettin the 30 day shred to help tone up a bit, would ye recommend it for that..? Does it have maneable exercises coz I've seen so many with impossible exercises! And do you need lots of space to do it..? My sitting room is quite small!
I love it and have seen the inches fall off. I do it in my bedroom which is tiny. Level 2 you need a little bit more space but is still manageable in a small area. Like I said before, starting out modify the moves if you want. As you get used to it you'll be well able for it.Another quick question about 30 day shred.....am I right in thinking that there are 3 levels?? (I got the dvd but I haven't got the case off it). How long do you stay on level 1 for before moving on to the next??
It's generally 10 days but they can be spread out. I read an interview by Jillian where she said that you should do 2 days, then a cardio day and then a rest day. Alternate it like that.With all the talk, I just ordered the 30 Day Shred. I actually ordered her whole collection for £18 on amazon. Has anyone done any of her other DVDs?
Losing weight is expensive!
I got her killer buns & thighs and ripped in 30 boxset last week. Still haven't used them yet as I only have time to do 30 days atm. I plan on trying them next week as I'll have more time to focus on weight loss and exercise then. I did watch the killer buns one and I'm now terrified
I agree with you losing weight is definitely not cheap. As is eating healthy. I shop for one so it's a pain for buying veg etc. I feel like I'm constantly in and out of the shop. The rewards are well worth it though 0 -

yes monife i know thatWell done on your loss
You shouldn't eat only 26PP if Weight Watchers have allocated you 50PP. While you will lose weight to begin with, you will plateau much sooner than if you had otherwise stuck to the plan given and it will make it harder for you to lose weight for a long period of time and to stick to plan as your points go down.,i only did it for one week to kick start the weight loss. 26 points was ok for one week. i have to lose lots, had a realy bad year last year. had breast cancer being through chemo, two operations, and last but not least radiotheraphy, doing weight watchers now to get mary back to her rightfull self;)told my leader about it and she said be carefull cos it might set me of it cos of so little to eat at my weight..at 50points daily is to much for me cos i just cant eat them all. i know i can do it cos id lost 6stone before.... 0 -

So I think I have figured out how to make a beef wellington for 14pp - let me know if this sounds right.
75g tesco light puff pastry -6pp
150g fillet steak - 6pp
1tsp mustard
musrooms and shallots sauteed with 100ml of white wine and 1tbsp WW cream 4pp (makes enough for 2 so 2pp per portion)
egg white wash
So going to serve it with roast BNS, asparagus and spinach for a treat dinner for my OH that I can make WW friendly for me 0 -

Yeah you are right, I am buying for just myself too. Popping to the shop nearly every day to pick up something or other. Never mind the price of buying new clothes when everything is too big for you! :rolleyes:0 -
Well I made homemade chicken korma tonight, it was delicious if you like indian food you'll like it!
I roasted the chicken for 25mins, in a large pot I fried 2onions, 1/2 green pepper and 2 garlic gloves in spray oil. Then added 1tsp of garam masala mixed for 1 minute. Then added 4 tblsp of passata and 150ml of chicken stock and 1 tsp curry paste.
Let simmer then when my rice was boiled i took the curry off the heat and mixed in 3 tblsp of fromage frais! (do this when its off the heat or it can curdle)
It was seriously delicious and all for 12 pro points!!
This looks yummy!! How much chicken and rice did you use for it to be 12 pro points? How many people does it serve?
Thank you0 -

I had an awesome time! So much messy fun
All the walking and dancing did some good too - I was down 2 lbs at WI last night! Only 1 lb to go until my 8th silver 7 and my 4th stone. Next week, hopefully... 0 -

Was down a very surprising 2.5lbs this week. Im only 2lbs away from being in the 10 bracket, haven't been there in a really long time. I know alot of people will scream at me when i say this but i dont know is it that i am just in the right head space or what but im finding losing the weight this time quiet enjoyable and a surpised how well im doing. I have lost 30.5lbs since March. Getting good results on the scales or non scale results just make you feel great and it def gives me energy. Congrats to everyone on your losses. 0

I feel the same - I've lost 35.5 since jan and its the first time a diet isnt a chore at all. I mean dont get me wrong it takes a lot of hard work and determination - but when its so rewarding that it makes it enjoyable!0 -

Had a brilliant week last week ww wise, I can actually say it was probably my best week since starting the programme. Exercised 5 days which included gym classes, couch to 5k and walking!! Was really looking forward to my WI yesterday so stepped on the scales and ......... down half pound:mad:
I know it is down and going in the right direction and all that but I deffo deserved way more than that. I was up a pound the week before so was hoping for a 2 or 3 pound loss this week.
It seems that no matter how hard I try i just cannot get under 12 stone. Have been up and down on the scales the past couple of months like a yoyo and am seriously pee'ed off right now. Thinking of calling it a day ww wise and just focus on eating healthy and exercise and keep away from the scales for a while cos it is genuienly driving me demented at this stage
Sorry for the rant....Happy Friday every1 0 -

I was exactly the same two weeks ago, I was convinced I was going to be down at least 2 or 3 and I was only down a half. I lost the plot after that as I was away for a few days the next week as well. I couldnt have eaten worse even if I tried! So I was expecting to be up about 5lb at WI but I was only up 1. I think it is because I had such a good week the week before.0 -

I am just so fed up. I was a bit bold last night with picking at bread and crisps and chocolate. Have a work BBQ tonight so will probably use all my weeklies on drink.
I have 2 prepays left on my card. After that, I think I'll stop going to the meetings. My weight is just not shifting no matter how hard I try so I think it's time to stop wasting €10 a week. I'm just gonna focus more on the gym and healthy eating and not focus as much on the figure on the scales:)
If you are thinking of not going back to meetings, I would suggest a monthly weigh in and measurements, just to make sure you are keeping on track and not putting the weight you have already lost, back on Monthly weigh ins are suppose to be more accurate anyway as our weight fluctuates every day, never mind every week. 0 -

Thanks, yeah I am deffo gonna keep my eye on the scales but just not obsess over it too much. I'm gonna just have to accept the fact that it will take my body longer to lose weight than an average person. Just gonna focus on exercise, toning and healthy eating. Also gonna take my measurements over the weekend and see if I have made any progress on that front.
No point in stressing over the number on the scales, at least I'm in good health. Hopefully the pounds will start to drop again eventually:D 0 -

Exactly. I think, no I know, that sometimes (or most of the time) there is WAAAY too much emphasis on the scales.0 -

Good to see you here.. there's great support!Hi all,
Hope you don't mind me joining your thread. I joined ww meetings 3 weeks ago in my area (kildare) and although I have lost a little weight (5lbs), not really feeling it and thinking maybe I won't last. I am hoping to lose half my weight goal by Xmas. I have done this before 10 years ago and reached my goal weight, but then I was 10 years younger, now I am 2 kids older and a non smoker and I attended the weight watcher meetings with 3 friends who are now living scattered across leinster. Don't really like admitting it but I think I did so well last time because there was a hint of a competition going on between us. Anyways, looking forward to chatting with you all in the next few months. I have to lose 4 stone and anything after that is a bonus.:eek:
