Hello everyone. I am starting tomorrow so I hope it's ok if I join here. I need all the help I can get to stay on track.

That would be great if you joined Beach babe the more the merrier.
Good luck with tomorrow.

welcome mcoy! dont feel ashamed, we're here for ya. youre off to a good start. post whatever you feel like

hi beach! welcome!

alli: planning always helps. so does combining carbs protein and fat whenever possible.

good mornin everyone! hows it goin?

Mornin all! Welcome Miss McCoy, your menu sounds yummy!

I didn't manage to do either of my goals for yesterday - husband came and picked my up at work early and wanted to do some other stuff. I didn't bring or wear my sneakers today either (I forgot).

I did lose some weight in my 1st week (today's my WI) so that's good.

wtg allie!

Good job Allie.
I had a great day yesterday, ate well and exercised. Tonight going out and going to be around pizza. Plan is to share a slice with the hubby and that's it. I will eat dinner before going out. Lets hope the plan works.

So today isn't going so well. I just checked the points on my staple Turkey Wrap that I eat for lunch and found out it's 25 points!! Of course I figured this out after I ate the darn thing for lunch

So I'm already into my flexies for the week. Not to happy about that.

Beach Babe, I am sure that has happened to more than a few of us. Maybe you could make some 0-point soup for dinner and have a salad with it so you don't go too far over your daily points?

Thank you all for the support on my loss altho I did forget to tell you how much, lol. A pound down. That's Ok by me. I was and am still learning the ropes the first week so I am pleased.

B Alli - Enjoy your piece of pizza! Good luck on your plan for today.

dont worry beach babe. thats how we learn

alli why eat bf you go? why not just alot points for a sl or 2? thats what i do.

Thanks allison dawn & andreaphillip! The sad thing is that I've been on weight watchers before and I should have known better.


So how is everyone doing today? I went through my cabinets and used a sharpie to mark all the food boxes/packages with the points value per serving. I had some older stuff laying around such as rice, stuffing mix, augratin pototoes. All of this pre-packaged crap. But since there are four of us in the household and I'm the only one dieting (my husband should be also but he isn't quite there yet) I know this stuff will be made at dinner time until I can get rid of it.

I was actually surprised by some yogart that we have. It's the same brand but one is just regular yogart and the other is labled "active". The active yogart is only 1 point each where as the regular is 3 points. My husband picked these up when shopping one day and I doubt that he even realized he was getting different kinds. So I'll be eating the active and pawning the rest off on the others. I just thought that was interesting.

Hope everyone is doing well.

BeachBabe, I haven't tried the Active Yoplait, but I normally buy the Yoplait Light Thick and Creamy...so yummy, and 2 points each.

The 25 point wrap really stinks, but you've learned from it, and that's always a good thing! If you love wraps, as many do, I'm sure you can come up with alternative for about 5-7 points. Good luck!

hi guys!

beach babe feelin better today? thats interesting about the yougurt

Hi All! That is interesting about the yogurt. I never thought that would make a difference but apparently it does.

I am doing well today...happy and highly motivated (at this moment, lol) to stay on track today! I have 26 points available to me and I'm gonna use 'em up! I stocked my work fridge yesterday with all kind of yummy food that I can have so no reason to not eat properly. Are you with me? We can do it!

good plan allie!

im w ya!!! i figure the plain, ff yogurt is lowest in points bc thats the 'legal' yogurt on core and core foods are usually the lowest.
