hi all, have done weight watchers in the past, and was thinking of rejoining, but thought i could save money by joining this thread.
i have one question tho, last time i did ww it was called switch plan, now it is called discovery plan, has anything else changed besides the name?

First WI (well just weighed myself on my scales at home) after a week.

Im 11 3.5!!

Thats a 6.5 pounds loss!

Thats not too much or un normal right....?

I mean this is the first time in all my life I havent eaten junk nearly every day which has probably helped....

not really.discovery plan is just about eating filling foods, and not eating so much junk. the points are still the same:D
well done kr15snw:T :T :T :T first week is always a good week weight loss wise after the initial change it probably will slow down to 1-2 pounds a week. keep it up :A

Think I need to start measuring myself now, as I guess thats where Ill really ee the change.

To be honest I dont care how much I weigh, I just want to get this flab off my back and hips!! Lol

Hi Pijy

See below for your points allowance. As far as I know exercise should be counted as bonus points, if you choose to use them.:T

Your personal daily POINTS allowance.

1) Are you:
Female...3 Points
Male ......9 Points

2) How old are you?
16-20.....5 Points
21-35.....4 Points
36-50.....3 Points
51-65.....2 Points
Over 65..1 Point

3) How Many Stones do you weigh?
Ignore the lb, the number of stones is your score for this question. Someone who weighs 12 stone 4lb will score 12 Points.

4) How tall are you?
Under 5ft 4ins......1 Point
5ft 4ins or above..2 Points

5) In your day to day life are you:
Sitting down most of the time.....................0 Points
Occasionally sitting, but mainly standing........2 Points
Walking most of the time............................4 Points
Doing physically hard work most of the time...6 Points

6) Do you want to:
Lose weight........................0 Points
Maintin your current weight...6 Points

Now add up your score. This is your daily points allowance.

The OH has said he wants an indian takeaway tonight having looked through the eating out guide it only briefly touches on it.

What do those of you who have a cheeky takeaway order and how do you sort the points? I have 14.5 points remaing today.
