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

[Vickie]

Hi ladies! I am wondering if you could give me some good and low point (easy) breakfasts and suppers. I am a working mom so suppers are the real killers and even though I've lost almost 7lbs, I don't know how

What kinds of recipes are you looking for? I might be able to scrounge up a few if I get some child free minutes PM me what you are interested in? Easier for me to keep track of my PMs than threads

Another 2lb off
Eve, I'm in the same situation- for suppers I spent a Saturday afternoon batch cooking spaghetti bolognese, Shepherd's Pie (with Quorn Mince as I'm a veggie), Veg Stew and a couple of other WW recipes, divided them into pointed portions and froze them.
Breakfast is Weetabix with skimmed milk and sweetener (the golden syrup flavour, yum!) for 5 points. If I'm not working I have a scrambled or poached egg with mushrooms fried in Frylight and tomatoes on 2 slices of WW or Nimble bread- again 5 points.

well done on your loss!

Another 2lb off for me today

Great job!

Hi guys i joined up last night at our local meeting and i have been givin 40 points a day it seems like a lot. Im 5:4 and 117 kg

Can i cut my points down im worried i wont see weight loss on 40 points a day.

How much excercise should o be doin!??

I'm not entirely sure how the program works now I have heard you can cut a few points if you think it's to many but really not sure how that works...hope one of the others can help you more!

I will say that it is important to eat your points in a day. I know it seems like a lot and you feel like you won't lose but follow the plan and you will

I started at 5 foot 4 and 250 pounds, got down to 145 before I got pregnant and am now working on losing the baby weight

As for exercise what are you used to doing? I would start off with easy stuff if you aren't used to much exercise and build up from there. For the first 10 months of my weight loss I lost 70 some odd pounds with no more exercise than walking (and as I lost I walked more and more). After that I started working out 3 times a week and eventually built up to 4 times a week Hope this helps some

Hi everyone,

My last attempt at following the plan from home didn't work, after an awful fright last night with my left hand side going numb for about 10 minutes when I was lying in bed, I honestly thought I was going to have a stroke. I am quite overweight and know this can be a risk. It went away eventually but I was then too scared to go to sleep! I think this is the jolt I needed to get my bum in gear and get this weight off. I've signed up to WW online and started using it this morning

How scary. Good luck with the plan!

I'm starting Weight Watchers myself tomorrow. DH going to do it too. Feeling really positive about it xx

Welcome and good luck! It's great that your DH is being supportive I don't think I would have made it without the support of mine

looking good congrats!!!!!!!

so im finally out of my slump i was down 0.5 but im finnally down from where i was 8 weeks ago. I know my measurements have changed but im finally down granted its 0.1 from my lowest 8 wks ago but since i have been down 3 weeks (minimally) i have gotten over the plateau.

i think my activity is a factor and now i have to play with my wp and ap to lose at a better rate.

Oh my gosh - so much for me to catch up on this week - so here we go...

hi everyone,
well done on all the weight losses ladies,i wi yesterday and have lost another 2lb
my clothes are feeling a little baggy now too so i think DH might have to treat me to a shopping trip
hope you're all having a good week.x.

Fab weight loss! well done! I loved being able to ask the shop assistant to get a smaller size! That is motivation enough for me.

Hi ladies! I am wondering if you could give me some good and low point (easy) breakfasts and suppers. I am a working mom so suppers are the real killers and even though I've lost almost 7lbs, I don't know how

I loved my fruit smoothies for breakfast. Used the WW 1pp yoghurts and 2 pieces of fruit.
Well done on the weight loss!

Thanks for all your advice - I'm struggling with my eating at the mo - Just constantly hungry and find the only thing that fills me is high point foods. So will try one of these brekkies as an alternative to a huge bowl of oats with banana and sugar!!

Another 2lb off for me today

You are all doing sooo well with your WL's!! Motivation to get me back on track as soon as poss after the baby is born - well done again on your weight loss!!

Evening!

I've been up and down for weeks now. Meeehhhhh. I've been really good for the past 7 days so hoping Im back to where I was a few weeks ago

Keep at it hun, You will get there.

Hi guys i joined up last night at our local meeting and i have been givin 40 points a day it seems like a lot. Im 5:4 and 117 kg

Can i cut my points down im worried i wont see weight loss on 40 points a day.

How much excercise should o be doin!??

I too dont know too much about how the pro points are worked out. I am also 5ft 4 and started off with 35pp a day. But found that my pp were cut pretty soon. I would recommend that you try eat as many of those points each day.
As for the exercise - do as much as you can fit in and as much as your body can handle.
GL with your first WI.

GL with your first week on WW. Shout if you need any help or have any questions. The lovely ladies on here are always willing to help.

I'm starting Weight Watchers myself tomorrow. DH going to do it too. Feeling really positive about it xx

Welcome to WW and our support thread. GL with your first week.
Having someone close by, who is also on the program is always a good form of support. In the end I had my mom, sister and best friend on WW with me! The more support the better they say.

Well done on the great weight loss again! The weight seems to be falling off everyone at the mo. There is a small part of me that is sad I cant be loosing weight instead of gaining it - although most of what I have put on is apparently baby weight - which is a good thing.
I loved being able to go clothes shopping for smaller size clothes than I have worn in years!! Even better was having to ask the shop assistant for smaller sizes.
You do look great though - no need hairdo or makeup needed! Natural beauty there!!

looking good congrats!!!!!!!

Well done for sticking with it! it always pays off in the end and is so worth it!

AFM - been rather busy with work this week. I think I might have picked up a bit more weight than I really wanted to at this point. A cleaner at work keeps 'feeding my baby'. She keeps bringing in indian food for me! if its not rice and curry or pakorahs, its chappattis. I just love indian food and DF hates it! So will make the most of this food for now. Good thing that Speckle hasnt complained about all the indian food yet!

About to update the front page. If there are any weights that are wrong, please let me know.

 

[tardiz]

We will all be skinny minnies before we know it

I lost another lb on Tuesday so 19 in total only another 2 till my 10% and 37lbs until I'm where I want to be

Congrats on the birth of your little one!!
I am sure they will allow you back. Breastfeeding mums usually get a stack more daily propoints to use.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. These ladies are always willing to offer support and advice.
