WW ProPoints - new WW points plan

I tried the thai chicken curry today - I think it was one of the most disgusting things I have ever had lol... the points on the new programme are different - I think it was 6 on the old plan and is now worth 8 points but they haven't changed the packaging yet, I calculated it with the online calculator. I bought a fish pie (irvine's I think) from the freezer yesterday for half the price and it was only 7 points and definitly more filling and tasty! I think I prefer home cooked stuff but on the days I dont manage to bring my own lunch it's good to know there is something else there.

I have had them before & thought they were ok, guess it depends which ones.

I have to make dinner for everyone else anyway, but sometimes I don't want to be tempted & as DH has shown me latley he does not care if he sabotages me so if I have pre made meals for a few dinners he won't feel he is on a diet & try & get me off mine

lol just called him DH - he is still DF - we haven't run off and got married yet!

Has anyone seen the price of the meals at Countdown? I have seen them on a bit of a special at PnS.

goddie thanks i have not decided what to do with meal plans...but will go back to having cereal for b'fast, salad & fruit for lunch & a salad & meat for dinner...will get a few of the ww meals for back ups, unless I really love them

oh & just got $15 from one card so will use it on them ha ha

online is way cheaper than meetings but not good if you arent self motivated. ive lost quite a bit doing it but i very rarely manage to eat all my points so sometimes have to boost it up with almonds or full fat milk etc but some ppl manage to eat all their points worth without too much trouble so i guess it depends on how your used to eating. i think that kind of answers then in a round about way

Thanks Jazzy, I signed up for that about an hour ago :)

I have been trying to work out a menu for the next week before I go to get the groceries tomorrow.

I'm not sure if i like the new plan yet, i feel like i am eating too much (still within points) to be losing any weight. I guess i will find out next week when i have my weigh in. I didnt count points last week as i was away in the gold coast. It does seem to be very popular though.

Wow RaspberryJam great going.

This is my first day of counting points (wish me luck lol)

The new program gives you around 29 points to be used daily - if you dont use them you lose them. You also get an extra ?49 points a week, to be used or not how you want ie 7pts extra a day or all 49 in one day. You also get exercise points.

Food is now worth more points on the whole, points are not worked out using KJ or cals just protein, carbs, fat etc. Fruit and most veg is 0 points, although it does say to eat these sensibly as they do have KJs, so no eating 100 bananas a day

I think thats about it.
