Have you non-water loving gals tried drinking fizzy water? I hardly drink any water at all unless I have my soda stream on hand, and now I'm drinking 3 or so litres a day I'm even taking it on holiday to the beach on Wednesday!

I used to have a fab old soda stream machine I picked up in an op shop, but it died of old age...even with buying a new one it's still pretty economical! ]]> Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:04:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1249561&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1249561 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1248794&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1248794 Author: ElfsMum

sheza glad its not just me..I've always been a shocking water drinker..doesnt help mum bought me 24 zero cans lol:)

see thats the problem too..i just guess at the size as well.. i assume 2 rolls is 8 pieces.. form what i got told sushi(8 pieces ) is 16 and a subway 6 inch (turkey and ham no cheese or bacon) is 7 so 2x7 =14..

i mean its working for me..but I'm not stoked with spending all my extra points on eating healthy lol:) i havent got the eating out book yet either so just going by what I'm told.. no wonder some people like the old system better..and it means the calculator and books adn stuff i bought are useless:(

A sushi roll is cut up into 4 pieces I think. So an 8 pack would be 2 rolls.

its the subway salads that are 3 points not the rolls and the dressings are extra too...

each sushi 100gms is 5 points so if you are having 8 sushi thats 800gms - WW have the average 6 inch as 214gms. so sushi looks less but weight wise is more...]]> Sun, 23 Jan 2011 14:15:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1248671&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1248671 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1248659&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1248659 Author: Shezamumof3

One sushi roll is5 points, and most people eat 4-8 sushi rolls, I usually buy the 6 or 8 pack!

A subway roll is is 3-9 points

So subway is less points than sushi, unless you just wanna eat one sushi roll

a classic subway 6 inch melt is 9 PP so i imagine a foot long would 18. whereas 100 grams of chicken and avocado sushi roll is 5 PP. and a four pack of crab and cucumber is also 5. so how is a foot long less than sushi?
oh and with subway the dressings are extra too and it would depend on how much was put on there.]]> Sun, 23 Jan 2011 13:51:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1248655&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1248655 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1248635&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1248635 Author: Shezamumof3

you can bulk out your salads with avocado, hummus, nuts, cottage cheese, eggs - boiled egg whites have no points!

Not quite true... i think it says if you are fully breastfeeding (or worded differently) meaning the main food source for your baby. I breastfeed still but only twice a day and she is a toddler so i dont qualify for bf points. ]]> Sun, 23 Jan 2011 10:48:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1248527&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1248527 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1248438&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1248438 Author: HuntersMama

Man, they change the programme so often!! When I did WW back in 2004 sushi was really low points, I used to have it for lunch every day!

I do love WW though - I lost 15kg after living in Canada & eating far too much (and staying inside for six months hiding from the snow!), then lost 15kg again after I had DS1. I loved the motivation that going to get weighed in each week gave me ]]> Sat, 22 Jan 2011 10:14:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1247780&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1247780 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1247221&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1247221 Author: ElfsMum

sorry have to read and run so cant read replies but i moaned and moaned about it the first week as i wasnt given a choice to do the new or old when i re joined..but i like it now..she did say that would happen..just found it hard getting used to everything doubling in points..i like that i can have fish and chips like today and not feel guilty..it's working for me almost 3kg in two weeks.. ]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 18:52:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1245196&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1245196 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244998&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244998 Author: HuntersMama

I joined up online too! And I got the iphone app which makes it so easy to track food each day. Dont know if Ive quite got my head around the weekly points though? 49 seems a lot of extra points to be able to use per week?]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 15:21:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244998&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244998 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244877&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244877 Author: Mucky_Tiger

do the 2 week free trial online, then work out some meal plans & that may see you through. Then cancel it when the 2 week trial is up or if you keep it it works out to be approx $40 a mth NZ$ so $10 a week & you don't need books etc.

I joined WW last yr & only went a few weeks but got it enough from it to lose 24kgs by myself.]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 12:03:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244780&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244780 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244767&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244767 Author: Mucky_Tiger

you need to go weekly to meetings, I think you can miss 2 meetings without paying for them.

I have been told you need the books to do the plan, but if you are doing it online you don't as all the info is there.

Try the 2 week trial online its free.

meetings are $18.50 weekly, books are on top.]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 11:33:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244746&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244746 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244706&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244706 Author: Mucky_Tiger

can someone tell me how you join to get the books but pay as little as possible each month?

im keen but this $1 joining fee still means $68AUD to join online and does that include the books?
or are they extra on top....

and if i joined a meeting and went once a fortnight (so 2x a month) would that be cheaper? and do i still pay for books on top of the meeting prices?]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 10:50:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244706&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244706 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1244562&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1244562 Author: fattartsrock

I like the weekly points better than the old system. It was too easy to cheat and starve yourself so you could 'save' points.

The new system is more sustainable. You eat your regular points every day, but if you have a night out then your weekly points come into play.

I have worked out that you can drink two bottles of Rose on your weekly points which is awesome if you want to have a big night out (not that I recommend you do this regularly).]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 14:59:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1243760&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1243760 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1243737&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1243737 Author: LouD

ok the amount of points you get is based on your age height and sex.

the minimum number of pro points anyone is on is 29 up to a 72 a day.

you also get an extra 49 points a week which you can use for things suchas you get invited out to dinner etc.

you cannot carry points over each day so if you are on 29 points then you have to eat the 29 any left over get forfieted.

all fresh fruit is 0 pro points.

points are now calculated on protein fibre total fast and carbs. baiscally the higher in protein and fibre and lower in carbs in fat the lower the pro points this is because food high in protein and fibre use more energy to process the food than those high in carbs and fat]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 14:35:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1243733&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1243733 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37535&PID=1243724&title=weight-watchers-pro-points#1243724 Author: LouD
