@ Cooking Mama, the rumours over on the WW boards about the calculator are that the weekly points are going to drop a bit aswell as our daily points - apparently it's done like this in other parts of Europe....

we'll just have to wait and see ( I'm OK with eating all my weeklies at the moment, still losing just under 2lb a week after 17 weeks on plan)

what does that mean ailuro2? That dailies will be less than 29 & weeklies less than 49? Sorry if I'm being dense!

Hey everyone, I wondered if I could join you...?
Cant really afford to go the classes but have borrowed all the books/calculators from a pregnant friend. Want to start this on Monday (mainly because I am still on holiday at home and I start better at work and not near the food cupboards ha!).
I would like to lose a stone, I managed to lose this at the beginning of the year due to stress/not eating when my partner left - not very healthy but I felt I looked great and now its crept back on I want to lose it again, the healthy way. Need my confidence boosting.
Im 11st 12lb, and would love to see the 10 stone bracket again. Would love to join this board for help and inspiration x

The minimum dailies is going to stay the same, it's the weeklies that will drop with weight loss - but not much info on the boards, just a rumour...

however, the "get out of jail card" in it, as far as I'm concerned.....

if we lose too quickly we are meant to add points.

So if we lose too quickly we will get some points back!!:T

So I don't think it's anything to be too concerned about, we'll just have to wait till november to see!

Hi does anyone have a guide to Prop Points of the shop bought pizza please? I have tried the 2 in the weekly mag they have had lately (pan pizza & wrap pizza, pizza toast) but sometimes I would like to just have something from the supermarket or corner shop I can grab, bung in the oven and eat!

I go back to class on monday (there wasnt one this week due to Bank Hols and transport problems for me) so I am really hoping I have lost 2 weeks worth when I pop on the scales this week else I will be quite disapointed if I havent lost anything after the 2 weeks hard work I have put into watching what I eat and upping the exercise.

Keep up the good efforts everyone!

Thanks

Could just make your own with those square shaped wraps you can buy in most supermarkets, they work out around 7-11points depending on what toppings you add (obviously if you add peperoni etc it could be a lot more)

Anyway I have been doing weight watchers with my hubby for about a year now. It all started when the Dr said next time she saw my hubby if he had not done anything about his weight he would be on insulin. He didn't want that so that's when we decided to start doing WW.

We left WW due to lack of money, came back, and then left when PP were introduced as they didn't really work for my hubby that well and after a few weeks of gaining he was not to pleased with the whole PP thing.

Then just under 10/11 weeks ago we were eating a little to much chocolate and I said I was going back to WW with or without him. My hubby weighed himself and after realising he had put a stone back on (not everything he had lost since first joining WW) he decided to join me (fortunately I was 1lbs lighter then when we last joined WW)

My hubby has learnt he can't touch his weekly points at all and he also lowers his daily points by 1-2 and that now makes PP work for him (each to there own hey)

To-date I have lost 44.5lbs and am 6lbs away from being a gold member, and my hubby who still has 48lbs to go before he becomes a gold member, has lost around 50lbs.

Yes I'm proud of myself but I'm even more proud of him for sticking with it (as it just seems like its easier for me then him) He says he wants to be fitter by 40 and not dead and that he wants a family and he doesn't want to ever be the fat dad picking up his kid(s) from school, or too fat to play with them in the park.

Weight Watchers for us, is the best diet out there. As he is on way more points then me, he can still have his burger and chips, or pizza and chips a couple times a week, and still lose the weight (I know that won't be so easy when he gets nearer 29points like what I'm on) Ok so its not the healthiest thing out there, but he is getting better and being on so many more points then me, means he has time to re-train himself into eating the healthier foods, rather then being thrown in the deep end like I was when I was told I was on 29pp the lowest there was.

Don't think he would have liked going onto 29pp straight away and almost going cold turkey and not being able to eat his favourite foods as often unless he saved most of his points for the day till it was dinner time.

I'm not going to say 'if we can do it anyone can' cause that's kind of putting myself down, but its true though, if you are in the right frame of mind and have the right supportive people around you, WW really is that easy to do.

Got WI tomorrow and hoping to be at least 1lbs closer to being a gold member (that will certainly save us a few quid a month)

Anyway sorry for going on, and good luck to everyone else trying to lose the weight, you can do it...
