Mel,

What weight did you say you were. Let me know and I can tell you how many points you can have per day.

Mel,

Looking at my old WW books (they do update them periodically), at 10st, you are allowed 20 points per day. Although for your height you could probably go for 22 points and still lose a fair amount of weight.

How many muffins a day does that work out to??????

I'm 5ft 2ins and under 10 st, so I generally try (TRY being the word - succeed doesn't often accompany it) to stick to 18 points a day which is the minimum daily allowance.

HTH

Stace,

Sorry for the delay - had to go and re-check what weight you were.

When I started WW I was 10st 10lbs and I was eating 20 points per day.

If you're taller than me (see above post) you could probably also manage 22 points a day and lose weight.

I really liked WW - have put on about 4lbs since I left (last July) but have really pigged out and not been very strict with myself so I don't think that's too bad.

Tried Slimming World for a couple of weeks, but found it very complicated and as i'm not the worlds biggest fan of pasta, potatoes etc, so my diet was limited to red days (lots of meat) and I felt a bit nausous with it.

Good luck.

im 5" 5" 1

so how many pts do i get

Dawnie · #13 (**permalink**) 12-04-2002, 08:09 AM

Sorry Stace,

Looks like you're on a fairly strict 20 points per day for now.

Never mind - you can still have a muffin!

Once you get under 10 stone, you're on 18 points.

I find 18 points quite hard, but that's coz i'm a greedy pig who likes chocolate too much.

You going to give it a go then. Stick to your points every day???

If so, let me know what you would have for breakkie, lunch, etc and I can probably work out how many points you're having.

Haven't got my points calculator with me at work but i'm sure other WW people will be carrying their's with them.

i had a cup of tea for brekkie.

soya milk no sugar.

for lunch im having a salad pitta bread lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese grated.

and more tea.

Dawnie · #15 (**permalink**) 12-04-2002, 10:29 AM

Only a cup of tea for breakfast - naughty!!!

O.K, sample day of WW.

Brekkie
2 x slices of medium brown bread toast + low fat spread and a cup of tea (with milk) = approx 4 1/2 points

or

60g Cornflakes/Special K - most cereals with half a pint of semi skimmed milk spread between your cereal and tea = 5 points

Lunch
Most Tesco low fat sandwiches are under 6 points
Muller Light Yoghurt (chocolate flavour - yum) = 1 1/2 points
Apple = 1/2 point

Dinner

Chicken breast - no skin with = 2 1/2 (actually, was it you that doesn't eat meat - must check quorn pointage) as much broccolli/carrots/asparagus/ pretty any veg you like and as much as you like (aside from potty's which are 1/2 point each)

You're absolutely nowhere near your points total so you could also have one of those lovely muffins and still allow yourself a couple of gin and slimline tonics at 1 point each. Bargain.

What do you think???

Have to say hon, if that's all you've eaten so far, you might not be eating enough (although i'm no dietician).

Will pore over my books for you.

i dont eat a lot though since i had my accident i was eating any food that could be 'binged' in the micro as i couldnt stand long, and as i was unmobile the weight just piled on.

Dawnie · #17 (**permalink**) 12-04-2002, 10:44 AM

Poor love,

Dawnie · #19 (**permalink**) 12-04-2002, 10:58 AM

I WAS slim.

That was 10 months ago. What a difference 10 months and a well corsetted dress can do.

Nay worries.
