Hi,
I am not losing as much as I think I should and I'm wondering if I'm eating too much sugar. For a snack after dinner I have a no sugar added Klondike ice cream sandwich. It's delicious, but has 15 grams of sugar. It is 2 points. I'm allowed 24 points each day.

How many sugar grams am I allowed?

there is no rda for sugar but icecream every night could be the problem. have you thought about ffsf pudding or a fruit smoothie instead?

avg losses are 4-8 lbs monthly

I agree with andrea - sometimes its not just the points you need to look at
but sugar and salt content too.

Try rotating the ice cream with fresh fruit salad, a cup of decaf chai and a piece of dark chocolate, an apple or pear with some low fat cheddar. etc. and see if that works.

Actually if you read through your 8 Great Health Guidelines W/W does make a recommendation for sugar but technically if you meet all your nutritional guidelines (based on the 8 Great Health Guidelines) and stay within your total points (TPs + APs + FPs) you'll lose.....and still be healthy as well as enjoy that treat.

Hi there i am sorry i havent been on much lately but i have been doing some relief work for a childcare centre and because i havent been working for 5years it has taken it out ofme. I have been so tired these last few days. I am now doing full time work which i start on friday so hopefully i will be able to come on a little during the week at night.

Been binging a bit lately, due to working long hours i dont know how the full time working mothers go to work all day, pick up everyone come home cook and get things ready for the next day. I will have to be a bit more organized for dinner if i want to lose weight. I dont know how people can afford take out all the time because it was costing us a fortune. I missed my plain ole vegies and meat for dinner nothing flash.

I put on at weight watchers this week only 0.7kgs. I had a driinking night friday night last week it was the spur of the moment thing and i regreted it the next day.

My goals this week are:

Not to buy take out at all this week.
Exersice at least 3 days
drink more H2O
Have home cooked meals everynight

How much are you losing? And how much do you think you should be losing?

It's natural to want to lose weight faster- but it might be more sustainable if you lose weight slower without feeling deprived. I personally don't find anything wrong with a treat every day if it's accounted for and if the rest of your day is healthy.
