I buy WW wheat bread, it's 1pt for 2 slices and I like it fairly well...it is alittle dense but it works
I agree completely with buffalosister, this diet IS doable...You can have the fun things and still lose! Did I confess last week and tell ya'll how many 2pt ww mint bars I consumed in one night?? NINE!! I ate 9 of them! and ...drum roll please.......my WI was today and I was down 4.5lbs! Now obviously I cannot make that a daily event, but...it shows you that you can have bad days and as long as you pick right back up where you started, you can do it! I love WW, I cannot fathom any other diet working for me with such a variety of foods to chose from. I am so excited to be back on track and losing again, what an awesome feeling!
My new goal, is to be 189. When I reach that, I will purchase myself two new sets of scrubs (I work in a medical setting). Alot of my scrubs are kinda plain and I'd like some nice tailored ones that show off the new me.
Nature's own has quite a few breads that are 2 slices for 1pt. I bought the whole wheat kind this time but before I used one in a white package (can't remember the kind exactly).
Beautiful kids Ames1223. I finished off the night okay. Dh went to a meeting at the school. I took the kids throught he drive through at McD's. I had a sald with crispy chicken and 1 pt dressing. Man, even the salads there are nasty sometimes. Anyway, I had three points left and nibbled on a peanut butter dessert think my daughter made. I am calling it an even 25 point day. See you all tomorrow. --Amy
Today has been odd. I have fueled by my scale showing a slight gain this morning? I ate more Circus cookies, but I counted them. Maybe I should not consume as many points in sugar. Ya think?
Breakfast
oatmeal 3
bites of DH pop tart 1
snack
popcorn 1
Grande non fat no whip mocha 3
lt. string cheese 1
That's 9 out of 25. I may shoot for my old program 22 points to help with this week. I am gonna grab something to hold me over until dinner.
Jenn, did you have KFC? Sounds so good!!! I am making pan seared salmon with tomatoe basil salsa??? It's a huge experiment along with garlic mashed potatoes.
(I think I told ya'll I bought a scale, wow was I in for a rude awakening for how much 3oz. of chicken REALLY is! It was 1/2 of the breast I normally eat. I buy the frozen bags of chicken at SAMS Club .... yikes!
Rice Krispie Treat 2pts
Later, popcorn w/oil 4pts
That gives me 24 out of 28. Not sure what else I could eat tonight, I'm not really hungry.
I will have had both oils, 4 fruits/veggies, 2 milks and all my water.

yes... lol I didn't want to mention it cause we eat out TO much.. but I guess it can't be all that bad if I'm losing!!!!! haha
Hey, speaking of restaurants...Have you ever used or been to dwlz.com? They have practically every restaurant on their site w/pt amounts. Great help for me, thought I'd share
On going out to eat too much......at least you can do WW and go out. That is what I love about it. My dinner was a flop. It started when DH walked in the house and said what is that? Garlic? You got some smells goin' on in here. And he didn't mean good smells. I roasted garlic in my toaster oven to make some low point mashed potatoes. They were good. The salmon with the tomato basil relish or salsa was not so good. I don't know if any of you have had Olive Garden's Cappalini Pomodoro. Well the "relish" was just like that. It was roma tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar. It so did not go with the salmon. We all ate it anyway. Now I know how to make the "sauce" for my own pasta. I look forward to that at least. I too am looking forward to the weekend. Anyway, I have two points left out of 22 (not 25). I am having a frozen yogurt tonight. Yummy. I am going to shoot for the 22 points (old program) for a few days. I am worried I won't lose my two pounds this week. I really want to. I would love to see a number under 170. Have a great night. --Amy

I did so bad on my diet today. Well not THAT awful, but I'm feeling bad about it nonetheless. I ate like seven Hershey Kisses with almonds. I didn't even look up the point value on them. Not to mention I gained half a pound. That doesn't help matters. BUT... tomorrow we get our home gym, so I'm very excited about that!
Jenn,
It's www.dwlz.com
It's a great site, loaded w/info like this one and includes restaurants and their points...I visit both sites faithfully.
I never ate my popcorn last night, so I ended the day at I think 20pts. I was reading my ww book, the new week 1 and realized that right now, my pts aren't 28. At work, typically I am on the go...standing quite frequently and rooming patients, etc. Right now, as we just opened I do alot of sitting down...so where I gave myself 2pts for activity, I think I should keep that at 0. I'm going to drop myself to 26 and kinda do the old method where if I do exercised, and I need those 2pts because I am truly hungry, then I will eat them...otherwise, 26 is my number for now
BUT... tomorrow we get our home gym, so I'm very excited about that!
