hi challengers!
on to week 2, and this time, im right behind ya'll! ie got 30 lbs to lose and am determined to do it!

so far, ive earned 1 point for my breakfast.

I have been doing well today, but someone just brought a big thing of homemade cookies to the office. Must...not....eat...cookies. Must...be...strong. Who am I kidding? I have the will power of a moth and sugar is my flame.

Hey all! I'm in class right now! Tehehe lol

WHHOOHOOO! I'm Diane's twin! LOL...you are too funny Diane.

Veerie, STAY AWAY FROM THOSE COOKIES! LOL...send them here...jk. WTG staying away from the food!

A few questions...first of all how do the points work for the snacks? I saw someone was getting half-points? I missed that!

I so far have 2 points today for good meals. I had ceriel this morning for breakfast and a shake for lunch. I almost have another point for water already! lol

Second question...how many calories should I be eating for the amount I'm working out. I'm always afraid I am not getting enough. I work off about 500 calories when I work out. I normally eat around 1400 to 1500 a day. Is that enough?

Ok...should start paying attention again.

hey veerie: heres a tip if they really bother you.. limit yourself to 2 or 3 and thats all(its what my ww leader does)
lol tess!! ive only had 1 meal(my yest. binge put me in a coma til noon) youre doin good!

yes half points can be given for each healthy snack. as for the cal thing, i dont know cept dont drop beyond 1200. am going to copy the points values list here....

dump your plump reward values:

exercise: 1 point per 20 minutes

water: 1 point per 1/2 gallon, 2 liters, 64 oz.

healthy food choices:1 point per healthy meal... based on your chosen plan and 1/2 point per healthy snack.

pounds/inches lost per week:2 points per pound or inch

This has been a great challenge, especially in terms of getting me back to the gym....there's definitely been once or twice when I've forced myself to keep going on the elliptical for that full point... :-)

I also completely missed that we were accounting for snacks, but, um, that's often my weakness so there probably weren't that many points missed anyway!

Hey ladies!!! I was sick all weekend-flu and sinus infection, so I didn't exercise at all....I still feel a little under the weather...but, I am doing fine with my eating, so no weight gained, no weight lost. Will post my points at the end of the week.

Good luck to everyone!!!
