I'm surprised with the loss, I've eaten like a pig on night shifts!

 

[piggyfan]

But if you are eating free food it is fine. You are doing wonderfully well.

 

[Veggies Galore]

Just been weighed, lost another pound!

Well done . Just look at that little bunny on your ticker - I bet it can smell that flower now it's so close to it !

 

[BossHogg]

Its going to eat the flower, mine normally do.

 

[helen105281]

Well done.

Hi all, everyone seems to be doing so well. I've just spotted that I've dropped under 35 bmi, let's hope it'll stay that way.

@piggyfan how are you doing with your reduced points?

@piggyfan how are you doing with your reduced points?

Thank you for asking. I am finding it harder. 26 points really are not many! I just really hope I actually lose weight now.

Do you know what that is in calories?

No sorry. I have no idea.

 

[piggyfan]

Do you know what that is in calories?

Google suggests 1400 calories but I do not know if it is accurate. Weightwatchers does not count calories as fruit is free.

 

[helen105281]

I just googled too and found that. Thats not many calories though so can see it would be hard.

I am clueless about calories. You are on less are you not?

 

[helen105281]

Yes should be having 1200 though I do go up to about 1400 some days and still lose so think 1200 is a bit low for me xx

 

[piggyfan]

Gosh that is low. You will be very hungry.

 

[helen105281]

Is not so bad, my stomach has got used to it now.

 

[piggyfan]

Hopefully I will get used to it too.

1 WW pro point is approximately 40 calories

Fingers crossed!

I'm liking MFP a lot, lost another 3.4lbs this week. Had 5 consecutive losses now, most I've ever had previously is 4

Bizarrly, calories are not incorporated at all in the way WW proints are calculated. It's something I can't fully get my head around - but the WW plan works for me so I'm sticking to it !

However calories / 40 = pro points will be a very handy way to estimate pro points so thanks for that info Amanda.

I hope you are adjusting to 26 points @piggyfan. It may be worth speaking to your leader for ideas. I get the feeling that , like me , you don't find those diet sheets in the magazines very helpful . I always look at them but come to the conclusion that they're not for me !

When I started counting , I found it useful to break the points in to sections.

A lot of the WW diet sheets aim for breakfasts between 3 and 6 points, lunches 5 - 7 points , evening 8 - 11 points and the remaining 2 - 5 points on snacks.

My " average day " template was 40 g museli / porridge for breakfast (4 points), piece of fruit mid morning, lunch (7 points), piece of fruit mid afternoon, supper (7 points) , 3/4 pt skimmed milk / day (4 points) , snacks/treats (4 points). I agree it is quite restrictive and I wouldn't have managed it without the free fruit at intervals during the day.

 

[Veggies Galore]

... and don't forget your weekly allowance which you can spread over the week or save for special days @piggyfan

That is fantastic!

Ah yes! I always use those.

 

[piggyfan]

For breakfast I use 6 points having to Alpen cereal bars. For dinner I use 10 points having rice, pasta, cous cous or noodles with vegetables. For lunch I mainly snack or have wraps with cheese.

That's fine as long as it is within your points allowance.

Personally, I prefer cereal to cereal bars - and find porridge is excellant .

Yes it is. I do not like milk so cereal is out for me. I know most people have it though.

 

[piggyfan]

I lost 2.5 pounds. I am so pleased. I am now just in the next stone bracket. I hope I continue to loose now.
