Ok, New thread. I went through the last two threads and bolded the people who had posted, everyone else has not been active in the thread since at least two threads ago. If you know any of them, maybe poke them and remind them to get their bums back here? Or we can cull the list some so its easier to keep track of people

I italicized the newbies. Welcome! This works if you post!

Simple idea, just post what you've eaten that day!

Introduce yourself by answering any or all of these questions. Then feel free to add your tracker when it's convenient for you. If you have already answered these questions in a previous week, don't worry about answering all of them again! Goal of the Week, Challenge of the Week and How can we help you can be answered every week if you wish!


Name: (user or real, whatever you feel comfortable with)
Location: (share as much as you feel comfortable sharing, ex: I am in the states, so I will share my home state)
Current Plan: (Points Plus? Momentum?)
Current Weight: (or last weigh in)
Lifetime Goal: (this one is easy! If you're unsure, don't feel pressured to fill it in. And if you're curious about what a "healthy BMI" for you is, check out the back of your weight tracker from meetings, or use some google power!)
Trigger Foods: (just list them and feel free to add why)
Goal for the Week: (you set a goal for yourself, self explanatory)
Challenge for the Week: (YOU decide what you want to challenge yourself with. And if you want to skip this, feel free!)
How can we help You this week?: (anything we can do to support and check in on you, etc. post it!)

Any and all Weight Watchers should feel free to join this thread! Whether you're on Points Plus and 30 or Momentum and 50, it doesn't matter! Doesn't matter if you have eTools, if you attend meetings, if you follow at home, whatever--if it's Weight Watchers, you're welcome! But, please be currently following some sort of past or present Weight Watchers plan.

Once you've joined the thread, I will post a one-liner with your user name, real name (if you want to share) and Weight Watchers Plan you're following.

Good day with no dairy and no red meat. I am eating eggs and tuna.
I don't know how long I can go without dairy. I had 1t cream today in my coffee. But went shopping and bought almond milk for the rest of the week.

[patchymama]

Proatthis - I pretty much have to make my own right now. Since I'm not eating sugar/gluten/grain/soy .... mayo has most of that *laughs* IT was my first time doing it and it was surprisingly easy and I think it would be a lot of fun to make flavored ones now!

Proatthis - Thank you! IT is, I feel like I'm constantly eating, but I'm also barely losing this week because I'm not hitting my points goal I think. If were I were not doing the Whole 30 challenge I'd eat my points, plus weekly and some of my activity.... but I'm barely hitting my points. And yesterday I had a horrible eating day *laughs* I barely touched food. Today, eat more! Ugh. I think I need to roast some nuts. Its frustrating. I've said I can do this for 30 days, no cheating, and I know that I can and I've already learned that dairy is probably not good for me because of it.... but I hate the "am I eating too little, too much" waffling I tend to do.
