sorry to gate crash ladies but i am quite confused! I have just signed up for ww online and ive got 28pts a day and 49 over a week - this really confuses me i dont understand could some please explain to me what the difference is between daily and weekly?

Also what have you found you have had to change the most in your diet? xxx

Hi isabelsmummy - I think WW is really easy now.
So you have 28 propoints to use each day and 49 propoints you can use whenever in the week or not if you so wish.
I hardly ever use my 49 propoints. I use them for if I am going out for a meal or away for the weekend.
My biggest change is doing more exercise these days. I now try to use the treadmil at least 3 times a week esp during winter. In summer I try to get out for walks in countryside over weekends.
GL with your first week.

exactly as Skweek said, you get a daily allowance plus a weekly allowance to use as well as your daily points.

I have now lost 1 stone and 10lbs.

Hello everyone!!!!!

I joined yesterday, and as I sit here sipping on possibly the most delicious brekki EVER!
I found my self wondering if there are any other ladies out there trying to lose weight and become healthy before TTC and WOW there is loads of you yey!!!

Now I did join last jan and only made it to two meeting due to health probems I had last year, I had undiagnosed allergys which led to stomace ulcers GERD cid reflux and IBS.

Now I know and and both dairy and beef intolerant. So my diet has changed since sept and I have cut out those things and I did lose a stone but them I've put it on eating takeaways before and after xmas plus 4 family xmas dinners omg lol and drinks, needless to say I feel awful at the minute very bloated and sluggish, yuk

I'm so glad I have joined and this may sound bad but my Hubby wont TTC unless I am a healthy weight, he loves me and wants me to be healthy and wants the best start for our child in life. My weigh caused a few complications during my first pregnancy, well no labour and recovery from c section. So he wants the best for me, so I know I have to do this.

I have a wedding to attend in june too I would love nothing more than to ditch a few stone before that and feel fabulous x x x

GOOD LUCK LADIES ALL THE BEST

First of all WELL DONE

I'm on 36 points a day and of course the saftey net of 49 a week, ok so first of all you have said that you will not use your 49 and then said last time you did go over your points, so that is what the 49 are for if one day you eat an extra meal or snack, you just deduct it from the 49 this helps you to keep within your daily points.

I'm on day three and I'm quite hungry this morning BUT I have not eaten all my points I've been ten under both days this is not deliberate but due to me getting used to the new pro points plan where fruit is free, I'm used to counting it in you see and I guess I used to eat ten points worth lol

Ok so things that help me kurb hunger pangs are 100% fruit smoothies! The ones I make take 3 minutes from start to glass!
I buy the ready peeled whole pinapples from asda two for £3 I have half of one of these, a large handful of blueberrys a few red grapes and a cherrys (make sure you take seeds out ) and a tangerine I add in a splash of cold water and some ice, now my hubby likes a banana in his but I dont. These smoothies are stunning and filling

I have read a lot about digestion and smoothies and have starting "chewing them" not much, but digestion starts in the mouth and if you want your body to burn the food you are eating you have to get those "juices" flowing and your body geared up for food, its not advice but just something I thought made sense to me

Good luck with it girls xx

Thanks! i've been reading on their site, about hungry girl tips for 100 cal snacks..so i'll try what she suggested. I usually end up buying the smoothie pack things at the store, b/c i dont make smoothies a whole lot..but since walmart no longer carries the Jamba Juice smoothies..not sure if i'll buy any or not..we'll see!

Yup for sure!!!

I have just read back and noticed almost everyone else is on the smoothie bandwagon for breakfast!!
I have 2 or 3 fruits and a pot of WW yoghurt for a whole 1 point!!! that leaves me some points to have a biscuit at morning playtime.

Mmmmmm smoooothie yom nom nom If it shows I've lost weight eating this much fruit I will be surprised!!!

Has anyone lost weight drinking these smoothies? I dont add anything but water or cran juice, as I'm dairy intolerant , I only found out september gone, so I used to have my smoothies will milk and yogurt But they are still scrumptious as they are 100% fruit x

 

[skweek35]

I think they really help with my weight loss. Frees up the rest of my points for the rest of the day, esp with working at a school with a huge staff - always cakes and stuff in the staff room!!
I would think that your smoothies are also really low in points esp if you only add water.
Which day to you WI?

 

[Dimples81]

WI today, another 2.5 down and 10% ACHieved

Oh yikes!!! That must be hard I'm quite lucky in a way to be dairy and beef intolerant becuase from september I've had time to detach myself from those foods, I've bitched and moaned and sulked about it to be honest haha! So now I'm switched of from those foods as they cause me pain A LOT of pain So I figured if I cant eat as I used to I may aswel join up watch what I eat and lose weight.

There cadburys chocolate cookies here in the tin and 2 tins 1 celebrations and 1 heros, now my kids have treats on treat nights (fri and sat) so I was dishing them out last night and old me thought mmmmmm, but then I instantly remebre the nausea and pain and I'm like ergghh gross things So thats how I think I'm lucky with it really.

My weigh in day is tuesday morning, I will post on here around lunch time my hopfully weight loss, my tummy seems flatter already, probs just me imagining things though lol xxxxxxxx

The chocolate banana smoothie i think its by Dole, is so good..and its 2pts for 8oz. I never eat all of my 38 pts a day, its usually 34-37 and so far its worked out fine b/c i've lost 1lb just since starting back up on wednesday! I'm super excited, b/c when i was doing MFP, it took awhile to lose..and i had to be super strict on my calories..i hated going by calories if i wanted to eat it..but now im with ww and so excited! yessss!
