The Baked Fish at Long John Silvers is not as healthy as you would think! I guess it is a fattier fish and must be cooked in 12 pounds of butter because my Dining Out book said it is 15 points. I am definately going to try checking the book BEFORE eating out next time!
Had WI tonight- lost 2lbs. I think this means that I need to stay at the high end of my pts, at least while my dd is growing and needing so many nutrients from me! So, I will stay at that end of my range for now.
I need to lose 5.2 lbs in the next 2.5 wks to make my goal for this challenge- in order to do that I plan to:
**stay near the high end of my pts range, but do so using healthy choices not empty calories and high fat foods
**exercise at least 5 out of 7 days
How does everyone else plan to reach their goals? I know Bandit2 is doing really well, and Mel had a great 1st WI. How are the rest of you progressing towards your Valentine's Day goals?
I love fast food. And I have the pts for my fav things memorized...what kind of things do you order when you go to ff restaurants?
I am going to Mom & Tot swim this morning. It will get us out of the house, and let us try out something new! I am just scared dd will be extra slippery!
What a coincidence! At lunch today I went swimming with a lady from work - she just started & is trying to go 3 times a week. I didn't think we would have time - but I swam for 20 min, then a quick hot-tub & shower. When we got back I nuked my lunch & just ate in my office. What a nice break in the middle of the day. I might try & go 2 times during the week with her.
When we go out for fast food, I usually get some kind of salad & meat thing. Sometimes we get chicken wings & nachos to share, the I get a side salad for myself & easy on the nachos.
My daughter loves Swiss Chalet so I get the white 1/4 dinner with baked or rice (but sometimes french fries - when you just have to have them)
My bf loves Chinese & for that I just go ahead & indulge.
Last weekend I tried the McVeggie burger & have also had a 6" Subway sub & thought that was good.
Also at our last meeting, the leader told us about a grilled veggie pizza & it is 12 points for the whole pizza. Am trying one of those this weekend. It is President's Choice. It apparently is pretty good.
Hope you have fun with your little one swimming & have a great OP evening.
Bandit2-
I love Subway and the McVeggie Burgers. I will have to look for that veggy pizza next time I am somewhere that sells PC brand. How big is it?
Swimming was great! We had the pool to ourselves part of the time. DD was completely relaxed and happy, even though I had to wake her up and cause her to miss her morning nap! It was sure a workout, partly just getting to and from the pool!
It was nice to do something different for a change!
Hope everyone is having a great OP day!
Well, Challenge Team, it looks as if our time is starting to run out! I am going to have to stay on track 100% of the time if I want to meet MY goal for Valentines Day! How is everyone else doing?
Melanie,
Great work! I can't believe you lost 1.8 in 5 days! The weight is just peeling off of you! That is SO amazing, I am glad the program is working so well for you! Doesn't it make you feel like working even harder?!?!? You should be very proud!
I am pretty much staying OP although last night my bf made ribs in crockpot & brought them over. So, we only had salad & roll with those, but I think I ate toooooo many.
Today at lunch I am swimming again & I brought a Lean Cuisine & Melba Toast. Hopefully those ribs didn't too much damage.
Good luck everyone & remember to get in that water & count ALL those points :-)
Hi Everyone, I'm new here and wanted to say hi. I am trying WW for the second time, this time on my own, no meetings, which might prove to be harder. Found I couldnt keep affording to go to meetings, have a wedding coming up and we are saving up for that. Just bought the Walk Away the Pounds, and I tried it last night, and it was hard! But I felt SOOOOO good after I did it, cant wait to do it again.
My goal is to try to do it every day this week!
I want to lose about 45 lbs by my wedding in July, maybe a lofty goal, but I'm gonna try!
Starting WW faithfully today, so weighing in today to see where exactly my starting point is.
Welcome, Anne! I hope we can help you to reach your goal!
Tomorrow is WI for me,and I am not very excited. I had a good start to the week, then Fri DD and I both got horrible colds. There has been no exercise since, and I went OP yesterday, in a bad way! I don't do that often, so I feel prett bad about it. To make things worse, we are both still sick, so I don't see any exercise for a few more days.
Hope everyone else is doing good- someone must have a WI to post? There isn't much time left in this challenge!
Hi, i am going to join this challenge also. sounds neat. My valentine goals are:::::::
Just started ww on my own so
STICK TO MY POINTS
LOSE 2 LBS.

I love exercise so got it down pat. so good luck all. LaDean
Was down 1# last night at my WI. Total for challenge = 6.2#
That makes 4 weeks in a row with some kind of loss, so I am happy.
This week have to get in some exercise - keep looking at that exercise bike bf gave me - but have to get my butt on it for it to do any good. So, this week I am going to get on there 3 times, drink my water & count all my points.
Beware LJS Baked Fish
So, I will stay at that end of my range for now.
