:hi: Welcome heyyydayyy and good luck on your loss!

I lost a pound this week which puts me back if not just under my pre-Christmas weight :thumbup:

I'm going to attempt to cut the caffeine out this week :argh:
 
I've been terrible the last few weeks. Hence my avoidance of this group :haha:

I keep telling myself I will get back to it tomorroe but it doesn't happen. Wth! Any suggestions on getting back on track? I'm still going to the gym, so that helps. Definitely fighting and internal war with myself latrly on this lol
 
I've been good although I've barely exercised. My weight just hasn't moved beyond what I was at before Christmas (like seriously?) so that's why I've been avoiding the group :\

I wish I knew what to tell you Chelci :hugs: You can do it though!

Hi new girl(s)!

Great losses!
 
:hugs: Honestly I just have to get to the point of being completely fed up so that I can work myself into the right mindset. Once I have a good day I think okay I've done one day I can do another. And after a few good days I find that I don't want to mess it up because I don't want to gain back anything lost :lol:
 
Hi ladies :hi:

Can I join?

I really need to lose weight. I'm gaining again and I really have no idea how as I'm really not eating that badly. :shrug: Some days I even skip meals because I'm busy or PJ is being fussy etc., so I don't get it.

I've never done WW before so I have no idea how the points work.
 
:hi: Chris and of course you can join :)

WW is really about watching what you eat, the portion sizes, types of foods etc. Fruits and veg are free on WW (ie you can eat as many as you want) and everything else is pointed. You get a set # of points to use a day depending on your weight & height (I'm 171 :argh: and 5 foot 4 get 26 points a day which is the lowest you can get) and you also get weekly points that you can choose to use or not use.

Feel free to ask any questions!
 
Is there a place I can go online to get the WW points in foods? I don't want to have to spend the money to actually join but I do want to do the points. Can I still do that? Also, I tend to drink alot of protein shakes from GNC so how would that work with the points?

Also, does anyone have a list of foods that are low on the glycemic index? I know whole grains, wheat bread, etc, are low glycemic and I THINK yogurt. I have Hypoglycemia so I need to low glycemic food so I don't faint. :dohh:
 
hi girls im just looking for abit of advice. since my misscarrage last august ive put on a lot of weight through comfot eating ect ect. ive always been a bigger girl and ive tried countless diets i am now wanting to ttc again but am looing to loose a couple of stone first as i have a busy job i find it hard to attend meetings like slimming world ect ive been on the weight watchers webiste and ive seen the online pro points plan. im just wondering has anyone tried it that have been quite over weight and i has worked for them is it worth the money or am i just waisting my time any help would be much appreciated
 
I don't know if there is a place online, there used to be for the old system but not sure about the new one. Have you checked out my fitness pal? It isn't the same as WW but is a free calorie counting website that you can track your food on :) I know a lot of people who have used it with success.

:hi: Welcome LindseyGarth! I lost 105 pounds my first go round with WW and am now working on losing the baby weight. If you check out the front page you will see there are a number of us who have had a lot to lose and have had success with the program :flower:
 
Hi all -

weigh in for me tomorrow but am feeling alll bloated due to time of the month fingers crossed I get a loss on the scales tomorrow.

Lindsey - I am doing ww online this time round and I would say its worth the money. I lost 70lbs first time round like Vickie I am now trying to lose the baby weight.
 
I'm 186 pounds, I'm way too embarrassed to share my height. :blush: But I'm short. I should be 125 pounds and I was always between 117-125 for the majority of my life until I went on medication 7 years ago that made me gain alot.

I'd be very happy if I could just get down to 140 or even 150.
 
I'm also looking to lose 45 lbs! I'm 45 lbs heavier now than I was before I was pregnant so getting back my pre-pregnancy body would be great!
 
well I'm 5'4 and when I weighed 181 I had 27 points a day plus my weekly points. if that helps any.

good luck with your WI hope!
 
I'd like to join? I did ww 3 years ago and lost 50lbs but gained it all back and then some. I'd like to lose 100lbs (oye) but my first goal is 30lbs, and I hope to do that by may 1/2013.
 
From what I can gather, my WW points is 23.

I'm still trying to figure out points but so far for today I've had

Special K Flatbreak Breakfast sandwich
2 cups of coffee with sugar and milk

That's about 350 cals so far
I understand that cereals such as Crispix and All Bran are only 1 point per serving.

I'm trying to give up bread too which is hard for me. Caffeine and sugar are just out of the question but since I use sugar in my coffee, I cut out the candy, cupcakes, cookies, etc. I am a HUGE sweet eater but I'm doing good so far I think.

I was on Nutrisystem and did sooooooo incredibly well with that. I lost 42 pounds in 4 months but I can't afford it now. :grr: It also kept my hypoglycemia in balance the whole time I was on it. Off of it my hypoglycemia acts up almost everyday. :dohh:

23 seems very low?
 
I used this....so 24 points

I may be wrong but I thought the lowest points (for anyone) was 26. :\

A website you can look at for recipes with WW points is www.skinnytaste.com.

I need my coffee and tea during the day as well. I use more milk (skim) in my coffee than I do in my tea so my coffee is 2 points (milk and 3 teaspoons sugar) and my tea (for 1 cup) is 1 point.
 
the absolute lowest you can have is 26 points :flower:

:hi: Welcome Tillie and good luck!

Doing pretty good here I think. I've done 4 workouts this week and plan on two more but in reality the second one might get cut out because we will be really busy on Friday. Also doing good on cutting the caffeine despite extremely cranky kids :haha:
