ProPoints New to WW

[swissie]

Hi there,
Welcome to ww. I am also quite new around here. I haven't tried the old points but I have tried other calorie based diets before. They don't seem to work for me anymore - that's after two kids and thirties. I've tried and lost about 2 stones on a food combining diet before but I was always hungry and I put most of it back on in the last year. I tried low carb, which was good but it's not a life style for me. I need something that helps me to control my portions and I'm tired of cooking separately for me. With ww propoints I didn't have to do that. I'm just calculating the ppoints. It's encouraging me to think what I eat. I tend to snack in the evening so until now propoints helped me to control that. 0 pp for fruits and most veggies are great. I would give it a go and see. It all also depends how motivated you're are and this forum is great for support.
Good luck

S.

Today I ended up snacking too much as I didn't get a chance to cook or eat something proper for lunch. I was too hungry so I snacked on things that I shouldn't. I need to go do some grocery shopping. I'm out of fresh fruits. My son is still sick and hubby was working today so couldn't leave the house. Now next 2 days no fresh fruit. Yuk. We are invited for brunch and dinner tomorrow so I'm happy that I don't have to cook, but I'm also slightly worried about the pps of what I'll be eating. I hope the little guy feels better tomorrow so I can watch what I'm eating a little bit more.

Breakfast
Bircher musli 5pp
1 slice of bread 2
coffee with sm 1
Lunch
1/2 slice of bread 1
Beef stock soup 2
Snack
Coffee
cookies 6
pudding 5
Dinner
Lamb fillet 100g - grilled- 5

Have to watch tomorrow. I've been active but haven't been to the gym for 3 days now. Monday will be a new day.
Happy Easter everyone.

activity

I forgot to add that I was on a biking tour today for about 3 hours, with 30 min break in between. Half of the time I was cycling with the trailer that had two kids in it. Not sure how to calculate the activity points. Any ideas?
Thanks,
S.

 

[alona]

R u using monthly pass? If not I can work it out for u, was it a strenuous bike ride or just a relaxing one x

 

[swissie]

Hi Alona,
It was a mountain bike. I'm not using monthly pass. Trying to do it on my own.
Thanks.
S.

 

[alona]

If u were really working for the whole 2 n a half hrs it's 29 activity points , n if u were just enjoying the ride it's 12. Wish I cud do it on my own but I don't have the will power

 

[swissie]

That's great. Thanks Alona. I have a very active, super sporty husband who makes me go on these tours. I'm normally happy to sit on the couch and eat junk.

 

[swissie]

Good morning everybody!
How is everyone getting on?
I've decided to change my WI to Thursday because I feel like with all the treats I had last long weekend WI today will be disappointing. not wanting to lose motivation.
Will try to do my best until then. I'm drinking a lot of water today.

[muslima123]

I think I forgot one more thing 5p bread and cheese and after all this I ate 40 p but tommorow i will not exeed my daily allowence of 32 see you tomorrow

 

[swissie]

Hello there. Don't worry. I think we all eaten a little bit too many treats lately. Me, mainly too much chocolate. I'm trying to stay within my weeklies tho I don't expect loss this week.
For the ticker you need to paste the code from the ticker site to your mm settings to the 'signature' part. It should work afterwards.
I'm not writing my diary today. Again too much chocolate but I worked out at the gym for an hour to cover some of that.
Have a nice evening.

It seems that I was 44/29 yesterday according to my iwatchr app. still have my weeklies left tho as they reset on Tuesdays. I'll go shopping for some fresh veggie and fruits. We ran out over the long weekend.

 

[swissie]

STS this week. It was expected but it's the 2nd WI so I'm a little bit disappointed with myself to be honest. I could do better. Need to stop binging in the evenings. That's why I always fail. Need some motivation again.
Today wasn't so good either. I had some guests for lunch so made something easy to eat.

Breakfast
Coffee 0
Apple 0
Lunch
Pepperoni pizza - homemade - Calculated about 14 pps for the amount I had.
Salad 1
Snack
Coffee 0
Cookies 8
Chocolate 4

Dinner
Banana

27/29
Planning to keep it like this today so I can actually see some loss next week. Tomorrow I will be running around so not sure if I can post here but I'll try in the evening.

 

[alona]

I put 2lb on, it was expected though! I must do really good this wk

 

[swissie]

It seems that we have to. I go on vacation in 6 weeks. I'm determined to see some results by then.

 

[swissie]

I was running around today so I didn't get a chance to make a proper meal for myself.
Breakfast
Oat cereal with skimmed milk 5 pp
Lunch
Pretzel sandwich with cheese and butter (11) - too many pps for what it was.
Afternoon snack
ww yogurt 2pps
ww cookies 3pps
chocolate 4pps
Dinner
Salad 0
cheese 2 pps
2 x bread 5

total 33 /29 weeklies used 4 - weeklies left 20

I bought all this ww food from the supermarket so I had to try some. Cookies are not bad but the ww yogurt wasn't thick at all. Tomorrow I'll try the ww cream cheese at breakfast.
Have a nice weekend all.
