The Weight Watchers Support group ~ over 1/2 a TON weight loss so far!!!

[bathbabe]

My leader said she will tell us about the changes on weds meeting.

 

[Jellycat]

Got an email this morning some changes from what I briefly understand:

- you can reduce your STD points of 29 to 26 if you want to improve your weightless but isn't mandatory

- introducing filling and healthy food days. For days you don't want to count you eat foods on the healthy and filling list (I think there's a list)

- you can use activity points first before using your weekly points.

If you track online you need to check settings and alter if you want as they have automatically changed them.

From what I can see they have just added 'choices' to the standard plan no mandatory changes. Hope that's reassured you all

Yeah I got the same email this morning! I quite like the look of the EASY menu plans. Might use them over the next few weeks to boost my loss ready for Christmas. I like that they give you a shopping list! Nice & easy! The matching your lifestyle to recipes etc. also sounds quite good.

I've been MIA for over a month. So hi Danielle & thanks for taking over the thread I'm in Rotherham too!

Even though I've not been on, I've still been plodding on with the plan. I'm halfway to my goal as of today Now lost 25lb. My personal mini goal is to have lost 2st for Xmas so need to lose 3lb in 5 weeks which FXd I can do!

However, not impressed with the changes to the plan! We're not getting told about them in class til next Sat but my app has changed already (I track on it) & now only have 27 pp a day. Argh! 29 was tough enough for me! I'll use a lot of weeklies without even going out to eat or for drinks I bet!

Oo where in Roth?

I got an email about the changes but only had a quick look at it as on my phone.

 

[mindgames77]

I wonder if the changes are only in the UK?

I haven't received an email over here....nor do I see anything on the actual website. I did however miss my meeting this week, so maybe on Wednesday they'll tell us something!

Our leader told us about the new changes last week, but said they weren't coming in (over here, Ireland) until January.

Assuming its the same as UK, we were told that they were bringing a new system to run alongside the existing ProPoints plan...in other words you can do one or the other...and the 2nd system will be similar to the old Core plan, in other words, you can eat any amount of any of the foods on the given list (which she reckoned would be all the green-highlighted foods in the current ProPoint food list). As long as you only eat the foods that are on the list, and only eat 3 meals a day...ie not suited to 'grazers' like me who may only sit down to 1-2 proper meals per day, and otherwise eat little & often. The idea is that although you can eat as much as you want, you're meant to eat until you're satisfied, not stuffed. It suits those who are able to sit for 3 meals/day....and those who don't want to keep weighing/measuring/Pointing every single item of food. If you want to snack between meals, then these snacks come out of your Weeklies.

For me I know the old Core plan didn't work for me. I couldn't guarantee I would have 3 meals a day, 7 days a week...so when I had the choice on the old system I stuck top the Points system...and will do so this time too.

On the old plan, whilst you could change plans from week to week ie do Points for one week, and Core the next...but you had to do each plan for the whole week, and not swap plans during the week.

However....my caveat is, this is how MY leader, here in Ireland, explained the system...and it may well be different in the UK/USA etc

[Koromaru]

I don't know about your girls but I find it very difficult to stick to my points. I am allowed 29 points daily but I usually eat about 40 points a day. No need to tell you that I run out of weekly point very fast!!

 

[daniellelk]

I have days like that and I have 40 daily points! What do u generally eat in a day? X

I went to that meeting when I did WW in 2009 to lose weight for our wedding. I lost 2 stone then but it came back on plus another 1 & half stone whilst preggers! A green light to stuff my face lol But now having LO's bath & bedtime to do I find it easier to go to one at the weekend when DH can have him so I can stay to the meeting in peace! The Saturday one is quite new so was glad it had started.

 

[daniellelk]

I didnt even know there was one at wicko tbh. I payed for monthly pass so that id go to ameeting once or twice a month but never got the courage to go on my own

 

[Koromaru]

Have you girls been on WW for a while? Is it a nice program? I'm guessing it's working at some point according to your ticker

 

[TTCinBC]

I have 38 daily points and I've only been on it almost a week. Today was a tough day. I just wanted to eat and eat. And lots of carbs and chips I was doing pretty good up until today. Really hoping it gets easier, but I'm not going to get too down on myself for one day. I think I ended up using about 10 WP's today.

38 daily points? How come I only have 29. So unfair

 

[daniellelk]
