1/2 C bran buds (1)
1/2 C skim milk (2)
1/2 C strawberries (0)

1 pear (1)

1 6oz light yoplait (2)

3/4 C Great Northern Beans (4)

1/2 C strawberries (1)

3 OZ Chicken (3)
Large salad w/ veggies only (0)
2 tbsp lite dressing (2)

This is hte plan. Posting our menus really holds me accountable....

Cake What are Great Northen beans? Are they whole food vegan?

Peatrix - Yes they are. My dad makes them from scratch but I buy them in a can (Bush's brand) and add salt and pepper. I love them and they keep me full.

Cake Cool! I'll have to check them out. I get tired of eating the same old things.

TUESDAY

vegan toast (4 pts.)
vegan kashi tuscan veggie bake (5 pts.)
1 cup grapes (1 pt.)

Has anyone had to use less points then what WW says you should eat?

I have 30 points. When I would eat all 30 and even exercise I first olost a few pounds and then just stopped. I have only been doing 25 / day now and exercise and have lost about 1 lb per week.

Should I lower the number even more? I know weight loss is putting in less than you put out in one day, but I do spinning 2 days a week, pilates (reformer) 1 day a week, and regular cardio (treadmill ect..) about 3 days a week!

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi Megan-

I never had this problem but I'm wondering- did you recalculate your points as you lost weight (the first few pounds)? Everytime you go down a "decade" (ex. 240's to 230's) or have a lifestyle change, you're supposed to recalculate. Otherwise I haven't heard of anyone following their alotted points and not seeing SOME progress!

Are you following your Good Health Guidelines as well and getting all of your water? Is it just THIS week that the weight loss has slowed down? Because that's natural here and there. I would wait it out before lowering your points on your own! I hope this helps a little!
