Hello, I am half way through my first week on the new diet, is anyone doing this? Any advise? :)

I haven't started it yet but hope to on Monday is it easy going?

It seems to be I will let you know Tues when I have my first weigh in :)

Not on that particular diet but I have lost 5 pounds so far this year!!!

Snap! i joined at Beighton and my first weigh in is Tuesday. Im finding it really easy to follow and seem to be content with what i can eat. I'm trying to vary my diet so i don't get bored, foods containing protein make you feel fuller for longer so i'm focusing on that. Good look for Tuesday Sooper Dooper, think positive.

Thank you same to you will let you know how I do, made the winter veg lasagne for tea tonight I was lovely. I definitely have my positive head on this time, so here we go to a new fitter and healthier lifestyle :)

Bet you all stop doing your diets by March.

And then pile all your weight back on plus a little extra ;)

Thanks very much for your support bobbie :(

The thing that puts me off weightwatchers is that if you gain weight all the others are allowed to pelt you with rotten eggs.:mad:

Just stating a fact, its like the 6 week wonders at the gym.

Get under everyones feet in January, and by February you wonder where they have all gone

They always do it. They are ostrich eggs too!:roll:

This is not just a diet for me, i am being re-educated on healthy eating and it is something i will do hopefully for the rest of my life. Yes, i do want to loose weight but i also want to feel healthier and start looking after myself, and i don't think there's anything wrong in that.

You should see Bobbie's opinions on people who join gyms. Why do I have this vision of a stick thin miserable cow looking down her nose at everyone else when I read her posts? You need to spend an afternoon on the sofa pet, with a chocolate bar and a good film - might loosen you up a bit.

Do you have a personality disorder or something? You really seem to have something wrong with you, you should get that checked out.:loopy:

Ignore the idiot
I have been doing WW for 2 months now and have lost a stone. Lost weight at every weigh-in. slow but steady but thats best for the weight staying off
Like the ProPoints system

Hope it all goes well for everyone

what is the pro points system? I don't actually go to the meetings so i haven. Got the updated file x

It works, but you'll be counting points for the rest of your life... I don't think it's sustainable. I don't know anyone who's done it and thought it was good long term.

They have completely changed the points system

You know get a daily allowance, and an extra weekly allowance which you an spread out over the week, use on one night or whatever.

Almost all foods now have different points values, mainly higher than before, but you get a greater points allowance. The points are now worked out on protein, fibre, fat etc and not just sat fat and calories. Fruit is now free too!

It seems to be working for most people. Might be worth getting a new file if you can?

A lady at my meeting has maintained her weight loss for 10 years. It is about changing eating habits for life, once you get used to the correct portion sizes you should be ok. If you go back to your old eating habits it won't be any good long term. :)

I'm too impatient to mess about with the points thing, the idea of doing it for the rest of my life really does put me off. I'm just going to stick to cutting down and exercising like I did before and lost weight and maintained with.

I think you just have to do whatever is best for you, unfortunately I need to have the meetings to keep me on track. Good luck :)

Exactly. I didnt 'count' points at all over christmas and still lost weight. Its because I have retrained myself with portion sizes, if I have a treat balancing it out etc So it is essentially the same thing as cutting down etc

hmm yea think i may have to :s i didn't realise it was that much of a change x

And people wonder why others struggle to diet when they have people like you posting comments like that.

You ought to be removed from the forums for such insensitivity! I've struggled with dieting in the past and unless you have had to diet or do diet you don't know how hard it can be. So to come on here and post such comments isn't even justifiable!.

Why do people post comments that don't help in any way other than to amuse themselves?.

1) eat healthily

2) do some excercise.

£5 please

YOu don't think my comment is true?

2) do some excercise.

I think you'll find someone has already beaten you to that kind 'witticism' on the other thread

Eat less, exercise more.
That will be £5 each please fatties.

I just don't get why people who obviously don't have a particular problem search out support threads and mock those who do need support

Its not a case of mocking, more stating the obvious

1) eat healthily

2) do some excercise.

£5 please

While statistically speaking what you say is true, the fact that you say it so smugly shows insensitivity on your part. What anyone who struggles with their weight needs is positive support, not your negative predictions on what might happen. If you can't say something nice....don't say anything at all.

Are you sure you mean personality,you're right about the horrible though,would love to see a photo of Bobbie.

hi you can actually buy all the new pro points package on Ebay if you dont want to go to the classes.

Does the thought of going to Weight Watchers for 10 years not fill you with dread and misery?:confused:

Well week one completed, been to the meeting tonight and have lost 3lbs I am pleased with that and it wasn't hard at all, how of the rest of you who are doing WW got on? :)

Hi Sooperdooper-Well done! thats brilliant. Iv'e been for my first weigh in at Beighton and lost 4 lbs and i can honestly say i haven't been hungry at all. I have invested in a calculator though cos a bit was guess work but i'm really pleased overall. So here's to another week of healthy eating and hopefully a few more pounds off!! So good luck to you and any other forumers on the WW plan.:thumbsup::banana:

Hi Gailsnails, that is fantastic well done to you too. I got the calculator last week thought the wheel thing was a bit of a pain, have used it loads :) . Got the mag for some new recipe ideas. I agree with you though not been hungry at all. Here is to another good week, will report in next week good luck :thumbsup:

I lost 4st using the old Weight Watchers points system last year. Giving up drinking the amount of wine I'd been putting down my neck helped.

Really, a picture a tubby middle aged man who was once reasonable, but knows their looks have gone and is bitter about it! Wasting time in the gym, fighting a losing battle :)

Good luck to all on the WW system - it is a plan for life though, not a quick fix diet...

Hi Sooperdooper, if you're not having the full points that may be the reason. I've lost 3lbs this week, i'm really chuffed. I have started having breakfast, which i never usually do and i think it does make a difference and i've also got back into cycling (think i must have sweat it off! ) Anyway good look for the following week-you may find you have a good loss at next weigh in.:nod:

Well done that is great news, here is to week 4 :thumbsup:

hiya hope you dont mind me joining the thread. Im on week three and lost 6 and a half pounds so far :) in the past three weeks I have had my weekend wine a chinese and a pizza takeaway and also been out twice! im eating loads of fruit too!
Im loving the pro-points because I can still fit in the odd meal/night out.

My weekly weigh in day is thursday so i'll post again next week.

Good luck everyone and keep on track :thumbsup:

Hi

I like it, Ive always like weight watchers. In regards to the way new pro points is worked out, if youve noticed although the points allowance has gone up to minimum 29, most foods have doubled in points. Although obviously you now have the weekly allowance of 49 points which is good, although if you are going for a meal one night and a proper blow out 49 isnt enough, what it is good for is, say if your out shopping and dont want a low fat sarnie but want something like a mcdonalds then its brilliant for little blow outs to not have to feel guilty about afterwards.
Does anyone know any zero point propoint homemade soup receipes? I love carbs, so someone at my meeting said zero point soup is good because you can have say 4 slices of bread instead of 2 (because your saving on soup points) and have a nice carb boost :)

for those who have mentioned not losing but sticking to it and doing excerise, just to help you, remember that sometimes excerise gives you muscles as well as working off fat, and muscles weigh heavy!! Our leader always says sometimes on the weeks she does more exercise its those weeks she loses less.

There is one tip I can give everyone and thats to MEASURE YOURSELF! Our leader didnt all the years ago when she first started and its her biggest regret. Sometimes your weight may fluctuate from week to week but your measurements may constantly drop!

Measure every 4 weeks your:

upper arm
thigh
stomach (just above belly button)
hips

:)

Just to add to that, it takes 12 weeks of continual exercise (not 24/7 but regular sessions) for this to begin happening and even then, the difference is slight. It's true that you should measure yourself...but just be careful that you don't use this as an excuse. I weigh people through at meetings and we have had some funny comments in the past from people who have not lost and put this down to the fact they went for one random run at some point in the week!

Exercise can make the body retain water which can be the reason. If someone doesnt lose weight 1 week then I find its better to put a positive spin on the reason rather than a negative, obviously being realistic but keeping it positive. Measuring yourself once every 4 weeks isnt an excuse for anything, its just nice to see the inch loss as well as the weight !:)

I don't think much has "doubled in points" for e.g all the ww meals are only a few extra points and alot of foods are only half a point more than before. Jacket potatoes however are alot more than before but I avoid them and have wedges instead.
I also think that 49 points is easily enough to plan a meal for e.g you could go to ASK and have garlic bread, Lasagne and sorbet with 3 175ml glasses of wine for 39 points and some of those points would be out of your daily allowence too as you would have had one less meal in the day.

I seem to be eating loads more than the old "points" system which I did the other year but couldnt stick to it when socialising.

With regards to soup I just do veg with carrots, swede, celery, onion and I add about 6pts of potatoes with veg/chicken stock and i make a large pan and blend it and its 1 pt i add loads of chilli and garlic too so its got a kick.

ive also done the spicy butternut squash one which is in the ww book.

last night we had a chinese and i had chow mein, egg fried rice, chips, curry sauce, a bottle of wine and i've still got over half of my weekly allowence left because i had a low point brekkie, lunch and loads of fruit.

Sorry to hijack the thread!

I was wondering if anyone has the old Discover plan materials that i could have/buy? That suited me for ages and this new one just doesn't work as well. I have managed to keep my weight off for a while now so its just about maintaining and jumping back on it when i have had a weekend away etc! I stupidly threw my old stuff away but am just looking for the shopping book (that has everything in it!) and the book with the basic foods in that came in your folder.

Good luck to everyone in their weightloss and i'm sure the new plan works great for you all. I just managed to find a plan that suits me and actually works so want to revert back. My own fault for throwing it out!

Thanks xxx

GO Sooperdooper!! thats brilliant well done!! I put 1+1/2 lbs on this week, not done anything different other than more excercise and cycling. Anyway keep it up and here's to another week.:D

R the pro points good, is it better then normal ww's

R the pro points good, is it better then normal ww's

The pro points replaces the old points system on WW. It's been done after evaluating food in a different way.
It's a great guideline for a long term way of life to reduce weight and then maintain in without having to be hungry.
It encourages you to have 3 good meals per day plus a fruit and veg allowance. The old points system made you count fruit and veg as part of your allowance and you could end up hungry each day.
As a long term plan the new pro points looks really good because you should have a re-educated way of thinking towards your food shopping and cooking.
The basics are to reduce your fat intake to extremely low levels and watch the portions of your carbs - ie pasta and bread etc. Protein points are reduced to encourage you to eat a balanced diet and if you use soya or tofu instead of meat in some meals they are lower in pro points. Eating protein means you should burn fat and not lose muscle when your scales show a loss.
To speed up your weight loss you are also encouraged to exercise and burn calories. You have a choice to eat more to compensate, or not - and lose weight.
Good luck.

Brilliant Sooperdooper you're doing fantastic, keep it up and heres to another week of healthy eating! :)

confused already, poxy pro points
Hi there Ting~Tong.
At your next meeting ask the group leader to sit with your for 5 minutes and explain the pp.
If you can afford it, WW sell weighing scales where you input the type of food on the keyboard and it shows the value of points.
Remember that most fruits and vegetables are 'free'.
After a few days you get the hang of the points and it comes as second nature to evaluate portion sizes and points - which is useful when you dine out. You also tend to remember the points after weighing items a couple of times so you know how to count a slice of bread, an advacado, a spoonful of baked beans etc.
Keep at it!

Well I joined on Friday, so far so good.

Ting Tong, you can log into the weight watchers message boards for free. They are great and there is always someone there who can answer your questions if you're stuck.

Good luck for everyone one this. For anyone who don't find this the right solution for them I am happy to have a chat. I lost a stone about a year ago,not using weight watchers though, and I have no worries of keeping it off. Now I am committed to helping others to achieve the shape and size they want.

Hi sorry i didn't reply to your post i've not on the forum for a while, hows it going with the pro points and are you understanding it more? All i can say is just get the calculator it does everything for you. I didn't understand that wheel thingy they give you but the calculator is an absolute godsend !! Good Luck :)

Hi Gailsnails, looks like you are doing really well, great stuff. I lost 2.5 this week takes me to 11.5 hoping to get 2.5 off again this week would love to get to my first stone :) good luck for this week.

ive just signed up to WW.. got my first group meeting on Tuesday @ concord.. tempted to go to the one in town tomorrow morning to start straight away.. but couldnt stick to saturday weigh ins.. would that matter??

ive just bought my self a pro point calculater, i started to count points yesterday (24) and i used them, but this was the old points system ive been told.
the new points system means i can have 29 pro-points, only trouble is i only have a list of foods with their value for the old way.

anyone got the new list please

ive got a brand new pro points calculator if anyone is intrested still boxed and not used £10 no offers.

that good
i just bought mine off ebay for £13.50 free p&p

grab it if you doing new pro points

the new points system is more or less double the old.thats what i've found anyway.

I joined ww online 7 weeks ago and have just lost my first stone :)
Sounds like other people have been doing really well too... Well done :)

I'm on week eight of doing WW Online and have lost about 15Kg although i am going to the gym 3/4 times a week and not using any of the weekly extras.

I have tried cambridge diet in the past and just trying to manage eating healthily myself but the propoints plan is good guidance for me at least when it comes to planning what I can have and what I can't and I don't have to make it a pain to do - this has been easiest method of losing weight I have ever tried.

Also when I joined Quidco had an offer on for £30 quid cashback also so it was well worth it.

Worry less about what you're eating, exercise abit more (dont go over board) and you'll be a happy medium.

Keep in mind every one of us has the same problem trying to keep weight off, so dont think you're alone and give in too easily.

hi

I'm wanting to start WW again as I can't get along with slimming world but can't afford the weekly fee at the moment but i've seen the plan on ebay, what is confusing me is some seen to have more books than others. What books are actually in the pro points pack as I want to know im getting what I should and that I won't be missing any.

thanks

Hi,
Does anyone have the recipe for the WW butter bean something!! and tarragon soup.
Thanks in advance :)
