I THINK there used to be a thread on the WW forums for tracking menus. Anyone want to join in? I love menu threads -- I get ideas from them, and it makes me write down what I'm eating. I track on line with etools, but I'll post it here, too, if others find such threads helpful.
Today:
Breakfast - protein shake (I have about 12 of these left; 4 points, and they're filling)
Hi there,
you talk about using Etools. What is that. We are starting our South Beach tomorrow and I am looking for all tools to help keep us motivated and in tune as well as learning from others and sharing what we learn.
Etools is something on the Weight Watchers site -- it's totally geared to the Weight Watchers program (and you need to pay to join WW and use the tools). You might ask on the South Beach forum if there's a similar tool for South Beach. Good luck!
Boomer, I get ideas from reading others' menus, too! I use a 3-ring binder, with school paper to track my points. And I do that each evening, for the next day, so my hands stay busy while I'm watching tv.
Today I had:
breakfast -1 Tbl. peanut butter
2 cinnamon graham crackers
Shay,

Today has been a little off since I had a late breakfast that really ended up being more like a snack, I'm not sure I'll end up eating all my points today.
B: toast (2), 1 tbsp natural pb (3)
L: Chili's Guiltless Grill chicken sandwich with steamed veggies and black beans (10)
S: 1 square dark chocolate (1), coffee w/ff creamer (1)
S: 1/2 c ff plain yogurt (1), 1/4 c museli (1)
D: small glass of wine (3), high-fiber tortilla (1), portobello mushroom, 1/2 an onion, 1/2 a bell pepper (0)
S: 1/2 c sorbet (3)
= 26.
Can't believe my dinner was 1 point, that was kind of ridiculous!
I can do 28 pts per day. At this point I'm trying to recover from my huge wt gain over the holidays so I'm trying to not use my extra flex points at least for two weeks then work them back in. I have been able to consistently lose in the past using most or all of my extra flex points.
