I know this thread isn't in use atm but I need to ask a questions about the WW pro points. I can't do any exercise atm due to a knee injury. I have been losing weight whilst following the program but I have also been doing a combo of walking/jogging and yoga for exercise. Since I can't do any exercise for at least this week only, do you think it is reasonable to expect a weight loss still? I am concerned if I do the 29 pro points per day plus the additional 49 points for the week that I will gain....
RhiChiChi - The program is designed so that you can loose weight even without doing any exercise at all. If you aren't doing exercise, I would simply advice you to look very closely at the 'types' of foods you are spending your PP on and make sure you are only eating to your hunger signals and not just because you have PP left over to use.
Also, traditional exercises may be out because of your knee, but there will be some other weight bearing exercises you can do with your top half of your body (ie, dumbells). Anything is better then nothing. Some of my members with knee problems even go to the pool and do gentle water exercises; but that may not be appropriate with your knee. Perhaps have a chat to your doctor about what activities you can still do which don't impact at all on your injury.
I am trying to keep as strict as possible on the program (ie: no cakes etc...).
I am resting for the week but would like to do some freestyle swimming by next week. I am still going to go to yoga tonight but will mention to the instructor of my injury and modify my poses.
