I ended up on point today after all. Phew!

I finished up with:

Balance 100 cal. bar - 1pt
Pork chop - 4pts
Salad w/ dressing - 1pt
Weight Watcher's fudgsicle - 1pt

So I had 19pts which is fine because that gives me a 1pt addition/adjustment in case I was off on the chicken wing (which I don't think I was, but you never know.).

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone!

You are way better at keeping to your daily points than I ever am. Good Job!

Today: Oatbran cereal with blueberries, (3) and creamer (1) -- at 9am their is a big family breakfast at my parents house. I think I am just going to skip eating altogether and watch the kids run around.

Second breakfast at mom's: blackberries (1), egg (2), hashbrowns (2)
Lunch: roll (2), meat (4), banana bread (3)
Snack: Wheat thins (3), chicken (2), salad (0), hummus (2)

21 points so for and not to dinner yet

Dinner: wine (4), chicken (4), salad (0)

29 points

Whew, what a day! We started landscaping the front of the house, ripping out what the previous owners had and re-doing it...we've been here 4 yrs and are just now getting to it!....I helped hubby by mowing the lawn, which I would think gives me some AP points for sure! I was sweating like crazy!...Mind you, I've never mowed a lawn before! lol
Lunch: Salad w/chicken, cheese, bacon, and bbq sauce 12pts
grapes 2pts
Dinner: Pizza 12pts
Teddy Grahams 4pts

28 pts out of 26, but add my AP's and I'm ok.

AJs Mommy - I added up your points and it was 30, not 28. Don't you hate days like this!?!?! You probably earned quite a few exercise points, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Our weather here has been so wacky and it's HOT. Mid 70's. I don't get it. We washed my car today and I did a bunch of housework, but that's it. Got my daughter a new bike because she has outgrown the one she had as a toddler. It was fun to watch her today

I've done alright today. I have 10 points left and I'm going to have the Tango Chicken Sandwich (7pts) from Applebees for dinner. It's too hot to cook inside and we didn't thaw anything out to cook on the grill.

Oops, yep! Forgot to add the grapes! No worries though, for the day we had, I think I did quite well. I drank well over 100oz of water, sweated my rear off working outside. Tomorrow we'll finish, and then we have a bbq at our neighbors, she's doing burgers and hot dogs, so I'll bring my own buns (1pt) and baked chips and a fruit plate. I'm saving pts for a couple beers, I need 'em!!!! Monday hubby and I are going to a Tigers Baseball game, so that day will be out and about, no worries there as we won't get any concesssion stand food...we'll eat before we go, and then when we get home! Can't wait till WI on Wed to see if I hit 10lbs!!!!

Sounds like you have everything planned out very well! That's important! I find it much easier to stay on point if I have a plan ahead of time. As for today - you've done a lot of work and gained some major exercise points, I'm sure! I definitely wouldn't worry about a few pesky extra (much deserved) points.

Looks like I will be changing my weigh-in day/time from Tuesday at 9:30am to Wednesday at 10am. They have cancelled my Tuesday meeting for now and will reinstate it in the Fall. <sigh> I really liked that one, too. Do you check in on the Wednesday Weigh-in thread?

No, I don't check in on the Wed. WI thread...I didn't know anything about that. I'm still new to 3FC and pretty much just post here so far.

OK - I have got to get out of this rut. The scale (at home) showed my UP that is right, UP 3 lbs from just 2 days ago. I am going to eat 20 point per day until it gets back there if it kills me. I have had 3-4 days of just munching all day at my parents house.

Yesterday I had finished with a 29 point day and then when I got home I had an ice cream sandwhich (2), a bowl of cereal (3), part of Wil's bowl of cereal (3), and some wheat thins (2) --- turning it into a 39 point day. ARGHHHHHHH

Breakfast: oatmeal with blueberries and a latte (5)
Lunch: salad (0), chicken (4), cottage cheese (2), hummus (2), crackers (1)
Later: wine (2)
0
....16 points so far

chili (4), then (4), then late (4) - it was really good. + crackers (3) and more crackers (2)

33 points

Hi Ladies - I'm new around here, but want to jump in & join ya'll! Here's how my day went:

McDonald's fruit & yogurt parfait; coffee w/cream & sugar (DH made it with real sugar since he didn't know I went back on plan) = 5 pts

Roasted ckn breast, green beans, corn, new potatoes, diet mtn dew = 7 pts

1 cup MIL's homemade Banana pudding = 7 pts!!??!! You think this is right?

Chicken quesidilla w/light sour cream & diet green tea = 11 pts

snacks = ice tea w/sweetnlow, a bit of beef jerky, and 2 pcs some candy MIL gave me = 5 pts

ended day at 35 pts (4 over plan), but feel good about the day overall, considering was out of town most of day.

I've really battled with cravings today. We went to see the DaVinci Code. It was good (the book was better) but, like last weeks movie with our daughter, I spent the majority of the time watching everyone else eat. There was one lady who had a big bucket of popcorn - she ate the whole thing and then went back for a refill! I wanted that popcorn sooooo bad! I checked the points for red licorice, but it wasn't worth it. I had my water and a granola bar that I brought from home. Not exactly exciting stuff. My stomach was growling so bad by the time the movie was over. I don't think I want to go to a movie again for a while. It's just too frustrating for me. I hate not being able to enjoy things like this any more.

I'm not 100% positive on my points, but I think I'm getting pretty good at calculatig "mystery food". We went out to eat at Humpys (If you watched season 1 of LOST, you might have seen a Humpy's t-shirt on one of the characters). I had one salmon taco and one halibut taco. They put all of the condiments on the side for me. I used no cheese, and very little sour cream and guacamole. I'm guessing that the salmon taco was 6pts and the halibut taco was 7pts (the halibut one had some black beans in it). If you think I should have calculated higher, please let me know. I would have much rather ordered the deep-fried halibut nuggets and fries, so I was proud of myself for trying to stay within point.

I'm ending my day with 20 out of 20 points, but with only one milk and one good oil. <sigh> At least I stayed on point, I guess.

Just tied for my highest point week since starting WW. 28 points over my extra points for the week. Our meeting was cancelled tomorrow, but I am going to weigh in at a make up meeting on Tuesday.

Welcome Shyla - love your avatar! No idea on the banana pudding. 1/2 cup with whole milk and sugar could approach 7 pts.

Hi guys! Just doing a quick check in. Woke up to a quiet house this morning. Kids stayed the night with my parents. Nice break for us. We got home at about 10pm. I have not tracked a single thing this weekend. I have done ok. Not good, but ok. My scale shows maintain. I would be elated with that. My mom bought NOTHING healthy for the weekend. Makes me mad. Her and dad are supposed to be on this too. How hard is it to buy one loaf of light bread when you should buy 3 loaves total for the weekend? How hard to buy 97% fat free hot dogs when you are buying Hebrew sausage and regular hot dogs? But again, no. How about light sour cream in the dips? Nope. Nothing there either. So, I hit a store on the way back over there yesterday and got my hummus for the veggie tray and a ton of fruit. My dad and BIL went fishing yesterday. They fried a ton of the fish for dinner with our already fattening burgers and dogs. So, I had them put some fish in tin foil with spray butter, lemon pepper, and fresh lemon. My husband threw that on the grill for me while he cooked all the other "junk." I passed on the shrimp macaroni salad and the potato salad. I also passed on the dessert. It was strawberry shortcake or brownie sundaes. My mom puts a ton of sugar on the strawberries. I did have a small snack of brownie but that was only because they were cruel and had me help serve dessert. I weigh in tomorrow so we will see the final verdict. Missing today and tomorrow at the gym. Today my trainer is off, and tomorrow I am at the school for kindergarten party. Will check in later. Happy Memorial Day!! --Amy

Amy, I am REALLY impressed at how well you did with all that temptation!!! Way to go!!! And especially with stopping at the store, having DH cook the fish for you, etc! Very inspiring!

That is a lot of temptation. I have been known to throw in the towel during similar situations. Thankfully, most of my family is always on some kind of diet, so other than a few random aunts who refuse to serve anything healthy, we mostly can get something good.

Today:
Oatbran cereal and blueberries (3), Anna's oatbran cereal and blueberries (3)
Crackers (1)
Crackers and hummus (3)
chicken santa fe (2)
1/2 cup of chili (2), coffee and creamer (1)

15 points so far and a Mem day picnic to go to.

I must have had a zillion cucumbers in trying to avoid seconds on ribs and rolls and first on rhubarb pie and lime thingies.

Ribs (7), roll (1), potatoe salad (1),

24 point day -- nothing is going to pass my lips tonight except water...

Have to take the above statement back as a complete lie... I am having the worst time this week. I have just been flat out hungry. Funny, because last month I was having a really easy time getting in 20 point days and now I am creeping near 40 all the time.

strawberries (1), grilled chicken (4), bites of cereal (2), really yucky tasting wheat things - Don't buy the sun dried tomatoe flavor (6), crackers (1)

36 point day

Today we are barbecuing at our house and having family over. We've made a 3pt per slice Key Lime Chiffon pie from the latest issue of Food and Family, and also a low-fat potato salad from the same magazine. There will also be salad and chips. We'll be grilling chicken, scallops, shrimp and burgers.

I think I'll do alright, because I don't like potato salad anyway, and I think I can live without the chips. We'll see. I'm looking forward to a piece of pie, some nice scallops and a bit of chicken. Doing it at our house makes it easier to control the food and what is in it.

Wish me luck! So far today I've only had a skim milk latte.

Welcome, Shawn! Always happy to see new people here!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY EVERYONE!!
