  • Hope everyone had a good day. I just had my last day of clinicals for the semester and survived. Hip Hip hooray. So two more test and a final and this semester is going to be a wrap. It is hard to track my points at the hospital since they do not always have the nutritional info posted, you thin they would be but no.

    I understand they redid some things. But there is no way I am going to use all my points for today. I need to check out the dining out guide. I have the web app, on my touch, and I plan on switching to a blackberry soon. So that isn't the problem. Trying to figure out points when I do eat out is the problem.
  • Happy December Everyone!
    Went to the meeting today and got the scoop on the new program. Sounds to me like they basically just restructed the points a bit to increase the amount of protein that is allowed on the plan. I need do a bit more research, and read through the new week 1 book, but I am going to love the 0 points for fruit! A lot of the lifetime members are very concerned about making the change since what we were doing before seemed to work for them. I guess my thoughts are if I try it and it dosen't work for me, I can always go back to the old way! I am sure the WW and my leader don't want to hear that thought! haha

    Was down 2.4 this week! Yay! I hit the 168.8 mark, however, I was looking though my folder tonight and saw that my lowest was actually 167.7 so...need to shed just a bit more and I will be at my all time low! Hope everyone is having a great week!
  • Cherry - sorry you've been sick! I'm glad your family is better now.

    Life - Good luck and congrats on making it through the semester! I remember that awesome feeling of getting a break at Christmas.

    Allie - Way to go!! You're doing great!

    I've been quite frustrated over the past couple of days because the etools here in Canada have been failing on and off. I haven't been able to log via etools properly, so I've been using a third party app on my phone (we don't have an official WW app here in Canada) instead. I read that people in the US who use etools had issues in the days leading up to the switch over (Dec 6 here) so I guess I'll just have to be patient until the new program launches.

    Happy hump day everyone!
  • Hi all - busy snowy day here, super cold - yikes!

    Just a quick hello to everyone, congrats to those that have lost, chin up to those that have not (most likely I am in that catagory) - best wishes to those that are sick or recovering!

    Take care everyone and be safe!
  • Hi turtles:

    Cherry - good luck at your weigh in and so glad you and your family are feeling better. Sick children = no fun for anyone.

    Life - Bet you are looking forward to wrapping up your semester, a well deserved break is something to look forward to.

    Alliez - Weigh to go! Great weight loss!

    Peanutt - I hear you about the frustrating apps, drives me crazy when things don't work right. I probably have already asked you this, but where do you live? I am just outside of Toronto.

    Princess/Judy - hope you are having a good week.

    Did my yoga again & boy was it hot. A few of the ladies were saying they thought it was hotter than before so I guess I wasn't the only one feeling it.
    I had a late afternoon snack and actually thought I was going to throw up, so have to be careful what I eat beforehand. It was a tangerine and with lots of water didn't sit well. But got through the class & feel great today.

    It is still raining up here, but not complaining since it is quite mild.

    Everyone - have a well planned out day.
  • Well my last weigh in was 239 and todays weigh in was 237.6 so down 1.4 pounds. That is good since i really haven't been focusing like i should. Not sure why the weight is coming off but i will take it.
  • Thanks for accepting me. I am going to try to stay positive and get busy with losing.
  • Hi Turtles,
    We're really hopping here, and I only have time to start a new thread. to all the posters. You keep us going!

    to the holiday season and to a new WW program.

    So many of us are doing great. Weigh to go! I'll see you all at #244, Bale of Turtles having a "merry"!
