WeightWatchers 2012 support thread

Go for it! Got nothing to lose with the Quidco offer! 5 weeks in I'm 9.5lbs lighter . This thread is helpful, if a tad slow. I'm trying to get it going a bit more but think people are getting bored of my posts!!:rotfl:

I'm afraid my personal life has put paid to my weightwatching over the last few weeks. Only chocolate and wine was good enough to get me through separating from my husband! However, as a single fortysomething I now need to get back into it, so I'm back at my meeting tomorrow night!

Sorry to hear that mintymoneysaver, but I'm loving the single life right now, it's fun! Hope the meeting went well.

I'm having an unplanned takeaway tonight, but only going to have some noodles with beansprouts, and I have 20pps left for day anyway.

Does anyone do WW online and is it ok, quidco are doing a good cashback at the moment so thinking of giving it a try xx Thanks

I do use it a fair bit. I love tracking my weight loss on WI day on the graph. I also find tracking my points online a lot easier than working with pen and paper.
I also use it a lot to work out how many points things are which don't have the points on the side of the packet. Sometimes I type the food name in and search that way, other times use the amount of fat, carbs etc to work out how many I am consuming.
I think I have used it once for recipes, but mainly get my recipes from the WW magazine. Tonight we had three bean enchilada bake for 8 Pro Points, which even DS1 (5) liked. The main prob is that DS2 won't eat anything where food is mixed, so I end up doing more than 1 meal!

I'm not bored of you, but I'm getting a bit fed up of feeling restricted all the time. I'm on 26 points and use my weekly points just to get me through each day without going over big time. And I do feel I'm often hungry. For example, this morning I had a WW porridge about 7.30 and was hungry again by 9.30. Fruit doesn't fill me up. I have changed the way I am, eating half the portion size I used to and thinking about what is going into my mouth, but I feel like I'll never be able to actually ENJOY food again!

Are you eating enough protein as that fills you up (im a breadaholic so im trying to wean myself off it and am trying to eat more protein to fill me up)

Sorry to hear that, Mintymoney saver. Sometimes your life just takes you along and you do must what you must to get by xx

Onwards and upwards. I'm enjoying how much I can eat!
Tonight we had butternut squash risotto (8 pts) from the recipes. Was lush. Looking forward to my next weigh in!!

I`ve just made the veg soup that i found on WW site. Taste`s really nice too and 4 servings just for me with no points x
I still can`t get my head round the fact that ww will work for me, i`m on 27 points , did you all feel like this at the beginning ?
