So. I did it - I put my wallet where my mouth is and I joined Weight Watchers!

Giant Tiger have Hanes for $5 minus the $3 coupon too

I live too far from GT, plus someone posted on here in Hali that the GT isn't taking those coups. That's okay though, I've got a Zellers coupon for 15 AirMiles if I buy $40 worth of stuff.

sounds great. Can you first sign up for meetings and then do it online or vise versa? I just dont know if im up to putting another event on my weekly schedule and talking to other ppl LOL. Lately I have no use for going out unless its to shop hahaha darn weather.

Could anyone give me a example of a meal? if its not to much trouble and tell me the point value and the total point value for the day?

[FallenPixels]

I only do it online for that reason, I know I will not go to meetings every week (and you have to pay for missed weeks). If you do the meetings you can pay extra for etools which gives you access to the online stuff.

As far as a meal, I just entered my dinner so can give you that

Chicken breast 6PP
Cheese (low fat) 1oz 1PP
Broccoli 0PP
Baked Potato 5PP
Peppers 0PP
Mushrooms 0PP
EVOO (for veggies) 1PP

Total 13 points

[FallenPixels]

Point value for the day will vary according to weight but you always get 49 points as a weekly allowance on top and you can offset activity points (although most members do not recommend using the activity points unless you do a lot of cardio several times a week)

Examples
30 y/o female 5'7" 200lbs = 32PP (40 y/o 30PP)
30 y/o female 5'7" 250lbs = 39PP (40 y/o 37PP)

ok, I am going to red lobster for dinner tomorrow.......
I calculated the ultimate feast to be 16 points (am will add an extra 5 for rice, ad 4 for the bun). I double and triple checked but the values still seem low to me.

Please if anyone has calculated this before let me know, I don't want to screw up now, I feel I have done good this week

says 16 pts too and they verified against the nutrition

[kellyschool1]

Well I have decided I am joining. I looked in the mirror and i am a complete box. No shape anymore. I used to have curves now none. ughhh

[FallenPixels]

Welcome to the team then!

[MostarkaGirl]

Good luck, first step is the hardest. I hope all is going well with it

[Abby5]

I started last Tuesday and lost 5 lbs! Only 25lbs to go! Hoping for another 5lbs this week??
Hope everyone has the strength to go on this week
I am on day 8 out of 12 days of my marathon of spin classes>find something u like and DO it

[Abby5]

The crappy thing is for what I want to weigh I only get 23 points!!! I think I eat that in one meal! Give me strength!!!!!!!!!

Abby, if you're doing the Points Plus program, that can't be right. The lowest they'll give you for one day is 29.

[FallenPixels]

Yep, impossible - 29 is as low as it goes and you still get 49 weekly points on top (and it doesnt matter what you want to weigh, it goes by a 2.2lb max loss per week based on your current weight)

[VeeVee]

Lost .4 this week, which is great since I didn't even bother calculating my points since last Thursday haha My mom was visiting and well her food is way to yummy so I went on a ww break haha So I am happy with my tiny weight lose!

[AmberLab]

Adding to Zonny and Fallen....nobody can ever go lower than 29 points on the new Points Plus program, even if you each your ultimate goal. Going any lower, you are depriving your body of calories it needs. There's a reason they go rid of the old program, people report more success and are less hungry on the new PP program.
