It's ok once In a while to eat a bit under but 13 PTs is alot your body can think its not getting enough and slow down

I find my best weeks are eating all my points and only a bit of my wp and none of my aps

Lifetime is when you hit goal and do maintenance for 6 wks you have 2-4 PTs to play with to find out what your body needs to maintain and not loose

You don't pay as lifetime unless your out of the 2 lb range
You can also have a different goal wt if your dr gives you a note
I know my highest is 160 but I think I want to go to 170-175
As I know what I looked like at 199 and 40 more I'd look anorexic and not be able to maintain it comfortably

I can't grasp the calculator, I'm using it on my phone, and I got that a bag of twiglets is 0 but apparently its actually 3 points.

What info do i actually put in, i understand the protein, carbs, fat and fibre but get confused if i need to do it for 100g or per pack?

Sorry for all these questions, but thank you for your help x

 

[Jellycat]

Carly - YOu can either enter the measurements for 100g then state what the weight of one portion is / or you can enter what the measurements are for one serving. In the app it gives you two weight per and serving.

The per is for example the measurements per 100g
serving is how much a serving is eg 50g

Does this make sense?

Careful you dont enter calories into the protein info as I used to do this alot

 

[Guppy051708]

Thats what im confused about though, because my actual goal weight is 110lb (im hardly 5 foot 1), but WW set it to 179.5lb (which was like 10% of my start weight, i think). So am i considered a lifetime member once i get to 179.5lb or is it the ultimate 110lb?

 

[Vickie]

^believe it's when you hit the final goal. They start with the 10% goal to give you something to shoot for from what I remember

I never did hit lifetime, not sure they do that for online? Not that it mattered I was pregnant within a month of hitting my goal

I always go by the serving size and than measure out my servings (I have a cheapy food scale). So I enter all the information on the packet and save it with a note saying what a serving size is.

Hope that helps!

This is what i do as well. im always sure to note what 1 serving equals.


Thanks hun! thats what i thought....i dont think i've weighed 110lb since i was 10

 

[CarlyP]

Yes, thank you, that does make sense.

I really panicked last night because I thought I'd followed it all wrong, but hadn't, only the twiglets.

that was rude of them hun! Sorry
eating more was the hardest thing for me to do, but once i start buying more fruits/veggies, that made that much easier. I just always try to check off the bars next to the apple button I make it my goal to check those off. With that said, i dont always get them all checked off-but thats okay!
You did a great job on Wednesday! I think if youre within a few points, than its no big deal if you didn't get the total amount in, but thats just my opinion. You are doing a fab job with the fruits/veggies! For breakfast (or whenever) you could try adding an egg in there. With the tortilla wrap, how about adding some shredded cheese. If you eat any salads you could add sunflower seeds to it. I also like to snack on pumpkin seeds. Those are yummmy! If you consume spaghetti you could add some sausage or meatballs to it. or make meatsauce.

I will C+P what i have eaten recently so you can get some ideas. My daily point value is 35.

This is just a few examples, but time of day may be a little off. Since trying to lose weight, the healthy way, ive learned how to graze all day instead of having only 3 large meals. Dont get me wrong, i still have 3 meals per day, but i tend to eat pieces of fruit or something light in between, so really i eat about 6x per day.
I didn't post all of the days but some days I was under my meal points by 2-3 or. I think if you under by a few (like maybe 5 or less) then thats okay. I try my best to reach my goal, though, bc if you dont eat enough your metabolism will actually slow down and then store everything as fat. Best advice i can give is just try your best to check everything off each day. Oh and i forgot to mention, i didn't list when i drink water but i find if i dont drink at least 5 glasses per day my weight tends to be on the higher side, for some reason.

 

[Vickie]

well done on the losses everyone!

When I was having trouble using all of my points I would add a serving or two of fruit juice in (since it's pointed) can you possibly do that?

 

[pdmcd17]

i found i would eat the higher point version ie reg peanut butter then the lower sometimes that helps

plus i find some og the diet stuff is so full of chemicals id rather have the less additive freindly stuff
maybe that will help
plus i find i eat less of the real stuff then the diet stuff

i also limit diet pop to 1 per day if im having it and i rarely do unless out

 

[irishemma]

I'm about 3.5 stone overweight and plan to start weightwatchers tomorrow. I have done it a few times before, usually lose about 2 stone and then become lazy. This time I hope it will be different as I am doing it to be healthy to concieve instead of for vanity.

 

[Guppy051708]

Welcome irishemma

does anyone have that flat flabby piece of skin that hangs over your pubic bone (in the lower baby bump area)? im not just talking about a small one (im 5'1" and 183lb)...obviously im going to lose weight but is that loose skin always going to be there? I have never been thin-in my life so im worried ill lose all of this weight and have that (you know the look-even men who have lost a large portion of weight get it), im not talking about having just a small roll

 

[CarlyP]

Welcome irishemma! x

Guppy do you mean an over hang? I have one of those, quite large, but I don't know if it would go away, so would like to know this too. I hope so, I guess you would have to tone the skin, but I can't as I have a neuromuscular condition that excludes ANY exercise So I really hope it goes as we lose the weight.
