Good morning!

rubberlegs started this weekly thread May 6--so if you like, let's list our losses for the last four weeks.

I went down 3 pounds. Not as much as I would have liked! But it's a loss!

SUNDAY

BREAKFAST
1/4 cup wild blue berry granola
1/2 cup 1% milk
3 oz. ham (leftover from yesterday's brunch)

SNACK
1 pear
1 Babybel light mini-cheese

9 pounds

Breakfast (160)
1 Nutrigrain Blueberry Waffle (90)
1 Non-Fat Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt (70)

Lunch (370)
1 Slice Whole Grain White Bread (110)
1 Tbsp. Natural PB (90)
1 Tbsp. Strawberry Spread (40)
1 bag Back to Nature Crispy Cheddars (130)

Dinner (260)
2 Slices garlic cheese toast (260)
Homemade tomato sauce

Snack
Light ice cream bar (150)

I made pasta for dinner, but just couldn't eat it. 1/4 cup = 200 calories and a ton of carbs, and I'd need at least 1 cup to fill me up. No thanks! I put some sauce over my garlic cheese toast and called it a meal.

I thought I would joint in. I use to post planning threads in the 20 something section but it seemed interest there died down. Anyways I need to get better at planning again (I let it lapse the last few weeks). I'm a calorie couter, my aim is between 1200 - 1400 calories per day.

Sunday

Breakfast:
(Got up late so it's fairly small)
Iced Coffee (made at home), Rice Cake and Sugar free jam

Lunch:
Health Choice Hotdog, Hot dog bun, pickle

Snack:
Zuchinni Bread (Small Slice), Skim Milk

Dinner:
Ham, Green Beans, Boiled Potatos
Chocolate rice cake and cool whip

Snacks:
Life Cereal and Skim Milk

I will list my loss tomorrow after my official weigh-in at WW

I have gone back to using the old WW "range" system instead of "target" system for points. It worked much better. My range as of my last official weigh in is 22-27 (although I expect when I weigh in tomorrow that might go down to 20-25!)

SUNDAY

BREAKFAST (7.5): (eaten kind of late)
2 hard boiled eggs (4)
Thomas' Light Multi-Grain English Muffin (1)
1 cup pineapple (1)
1/2 cup grapes (0.5)
1/3 cup 1% Milk in Coffee (1)

Snack (1):
1 oz Cabot 75% Light Cheddar Cheese (1)

Lunch (7.5):
1 oz lean deli ham (1)
2 oz deli turkey (1.5)
on Whole Wheat Pita (2)
1 oz red pepper hummus (1)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (0)
Oat and Chocolate Fiber One Bar (2)

Snack (2):
1 cup 1% milk (2)

Dinner (5):
9 cups air popped popcorn (5)

Total: 23 points
