Hi! Can i please join you and be added to the first page?

Can i ask if anyone else is breast feeding? And also has anything changed since last year? I lost all my baby weight after jackson doing ww then got pregnant when he was 6 months lol! So now baby Reid is 6 weeks old and im starting again, though i didnt gain as much this time. I have 1 stone to loose. I have been putting it off a bit though because i didnt do it very sensibly last time, i wouldnt use all my breastfeeding points and if i did i would use them on wine (after expressing feeds!) and i feel it might have something to do with Jacksons poor weight gain at 4 months when i had to stop. So this time im going to be more relaxed about it and use my points for food for a start!

So can i take off where i left off and get away with not joining or have things altered like they seem to with all diets!?

Oh and one more question :) we have a farm shop steak pie for dinner (i know its not ideal lol but it needs eating before i start properly tomorrow) does anyone know how i can work out the points roughly because it doesnt have any nutritional info on it? x
 
:hi: Welcome back and congrats on your second little one :)

I have found that not much has changed except for a few points values (the biggest one for me being chicken) and the daily minimum has shifted from 29 to 26 which has been a pretty big change for me. You'll get more though because of BF of course :)

I'm not sure how to work out the points other than to break down everything that's in it and try to enter it separately. can you find the nutritional info online maybe?
 
Thanks :)

So where my calculator tells me how many points i should have do i take 3 off? because i think i get the minimum plus my extra 14 breastfeeding points.

unfortunatly not, it doesnt even have ingridients on. Its shortcrust pastry with very lean steak and onions in.......hmm oh well ill just enjoy it. Iv got 28 points for tea after healthy lunch x
 
:rofl: Yeah I realized that after I saw your siggy but it didn't clue in to me to change what I said :blush:
 
and yes I believe it is an extra 14 a day but hopefully someone else can confirm that for you
 
I'm breastfeeding and yep an extra 14 points for nursing. I end up doing what try rocking suggested to me, I end up drinking my points if I have left over. Like a glass of chocolate milk or juice. It really does work. .
 
Ladies, this sounds silly but im only eating like 18-22 out of my 34 daily points!! Purely because I don't have the time to snack. I'm wondering if that's why im not losing weight? Because I'm not eating enough? I have oat so simple and banana for breakfast, then a sandwich for lunch with maybe a yogurt, and stir fry/curry/square pizza for tea (for example). I'm so busy all the time I don't tend to think about eating in between. Is anyone else the same? Xx
 
yes it can affect your loss, sorry typing w/1 hand
 
You could always try what I just wrote. Drinking your left over points(chocolate milk/milk/juice) always an easier option then finding something to eat.

My understanding is...if your not taking in the right amount of calories a day your body will think it is starving and go into "save mode". It then preserves all the fat in your body thinking it will need it. It's basically trying to protect itself from starving. The points weight watchers gives you is designed to be a fine balance where it's just enough that your body can loose weight but not think it's starving.
That's why it's so important to have your points every day. You don't need to have the weekly's, but definitely try getting all your daily.

I seem to think you might have been on the thread when i was! :)

I had forgotton about the weekly points how many is that again? Are they like extra points you can use if you are going somewhere unexpected etc but dont have to use them?

I have my calculator stil and a book of some branded foods from last year, but i have lost my booklet with basic foods etc in. Does anyone have an online copy like a pdf or something or know somewhere online that i could access it all? Its just a pain googling things like points for rice, bread, meat, etc.

Does anyone know if stock cubes are free? Its noor lamb stock cubes and oxo cubes, i use them to make shepherds pie x

You have so many daily points (I get 34 but I'm heavy), you have to use them all, then you get 49 weeklies. Some people add them to their dailies, some people save them for a takeaway at the weekend, some people don't use them.

I don't know about the other thing sorry xx
 
:hi: Welcome back hope! I remember you :) Congrats on the birth of your LO :flower:

I haven't seen an online copy of the points stuff :( sorry not much help here

Just did some searching around for you. One cube would equal 1 point :) (of either)
 
WI today- Down another lbs! 27lbs total and sitting just under 200 :) BIG milestone!
 
Hi guys - hope I'm not shoving in here, my first baby is due next week and I'm looking for some advice.

I'm hoping to start weightwatchers shortly after the birth by doing the online plan, I'm hoping to breastfeed and I was just wondering how easy it will be to follow the plan online whilst nursing. My worry is that obviously if you are going to weekly meetings you can have a chat with the leader and she can provide you with the support and extra info that you need because you are nursing.

Basically, what I wanted to know is if there is an option when you sign up online to tell the system that you are nursing so that they can allocate you extra points etc.

Hope this isn't too confusing. Looking forward to joining this thread in a few weeks time!! X
