WW Support Thread

The Boar's Head 1pt dogs are gooood!

Also I think a can of MGD 64 has 1pt!

I have been doing really well - first week lost 1.8lbs, which doesn't seem like a lot, but I want to lose less than 10lbs, so I'll take it!

I find BBQs easier than other parties - because there is always fruit - I can fill myself up with melon and not crave a pie!

First full day of ww! I counted my points last night when I signed up. I went over my daily points. I did today, too (but only by 1). I did, however, earn activity points.

Is it BAD to use your weekly points? Obviously you'll lose more if you don't, but is it going to kill me that I used them two days in a row (and probably will this weekend, too)?

I'm so glad for this thread!

As long as Aunt Flo is not in for a visit, I can use my 'play' points 3 weeks in a row and still lose. It may be .8 each time, but at least it's not a gain!!!

Thanks! I think I did better today, and I've been to the gym two days in a row (it's so sad the things I'm proud of), so I hope I'm good!

NO - It's NOT bad to use your WPA's!!!! They're part of the program for a reason.......if you couldn't use them, WW wouldn't give them to you!

And no it's not necessarily true that you'll lose more without using them. Some people don't lose weight unless they eat all of them!

You need to play around for a couple of weeks and figure out what works best for you.....using all, some or none.

just went on vacation all week...and ate like crazy. buffets=no good for WW lol. back to the diet on monday. hopefully i wont gain at my monthly weigh in!!

How do I figure out the points of a fruit salad? We had a huge bowl left over from the weekend so I put some in a 14oz ziplock container. It's all fresh fruit - grapes, cantaloupe, honey dew, watermelon - but i know a certain amount of each fruit is like 1 or 2 points and I don't know how much of each is in my serving.

ETA: Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm on my 6th day of WW online so this is still new to me

Generally a cup is 1 point. Whether it's a cup of one type of fruit, or a cup of mixed fruit.

Great, thanks!

Here's your motivation......before and after pics!

---

You look amazing I've been meaning to tell you that! xoxo

I too have been on weight watchers since I was 19. I lost all together about 40 lbs. I think I was probably too skinny though. I'm just 'built big' supposedly?? haha no really though I'm 5'4 but a size 10 shoe!!..horrible..so yea we're gonna go with I have big bones..but I gained 15 back pretty soon after that & have pretty much stayed here.I'd love to loose 10 again but i'm now 27..not 19 anymore & it's hard. It's harder the less you have to loose too. But this is really the most realiastic diet. I'm like the points queen & I love it & I'll live by them forever!

I saw that earlier! I'd love to order them through the website, but you end up getting so many...and my freezer isn't that big, since I live on my own. Gotta scope out Stop & Shop and Whole Foods in the coming weeks to see if they start carrying them.

I just hope it doesn't taste like fake mint, like the WW choc mint ice cream...that tastes like toothpaste to me

Speaking of WW ice cream...has anyone tried those WW ice cream candy bars? They're three points...those suckers better be either really good or really big for me to spend three weeklies on them! Anyone?
