hey friendly!
actually no you dont bc basically what youre doing is taking the daily total each day and adding it all together like 20x7= 140 so youre weekly target would be 140 but instead of using 20mpoints a day, you might use 18 one day, 25 another, 26 another etc until youve eaten all 140 points. does that help?

Don't mean to be a pain, but I just want to make sure I understand.

I'm on WW "winning points", now according to the booklet, I have a point range of 26-31. This doesn't match with the original post that has the info on Wendie plan.

Wendie plan says that for my current weight, my target point is 28? Shouldn't it be 26?

I will be restarting in about 1-2wks. I did this really well like 2 yrs ago and I've kicked myself for not sticking to it. I'm going to need a buddy if anyone is interested!

You can email me anytime Ames! This is the last time I'm starting WW. I've been on plan for 17 days straight so far. I'm not gonna make a habit of stopping and restarting no matter what.

hi guys!
welcome ames and jason! good luck!! friendly ill brb w your answer....

ok i hope this helps, this is the wendie plan layed out for you based on the WP ww plan:

Hello Everyone!

Ok, today was my weigh in and it was NOT terrific. Last week (my first week) I lost 5 pounds. Then I royally messed up over the weekend. Uggghhh... Well, basically I did lose .4 of a pound. It does give me more reason to be good this weekend. I think that I really need to just be more disciplined and plan better for the weekend.

What are some of your weekend strategies?

rebel,
dont get down on yourself as long as at the end of 4 weeks yore 4-8 lbs youre ok. weekends are tough for me also.

Thanks Andrea, I'm going to go with the low end of my book, which is 26. I just started 3 wks ago and I have a looooong way to go, anything to help me out along the way is greatly appreciated!

Rebel, weekends are the toughest for me. Try saving some points during the week, so you can have more flexibility during the wknds. I plan a lot to get me thru the wknd. I love to cook so I save the yummiest recipes for the wknd so I can still stay within my point range w/o feeling deprived. I LOVE sweets, so I always keep No Pudge brownie mix and low fat ice cream. I make the brownie in the microwave (one serving w/ff yogurt) is 2 pts, and 1 serving of ice cream (1/2 cup) is another 2 pts. I know it's 4 points but I love it and it satisfies my craving for sweet stuff. Or marshmallows, the big ones, you can have 4 for 2 pts!

I'm a Cooking Light subscriber and they have great recipes, they have a great website too. Some recipes can only be accessed by subscribers (usually newer ones), but there are a ton that you can review.

Hope that helps. Hang in there! Don't give up!

hi ladies!

tomm is my wi...so far am dn 3 3/4....not what id hoped for but ill tke it.

Hey everyone, mind if I join in? I've tried to jump in some other threads here but I don't really seem to get much response, you guys look like you really care and are there for each other ;-). I was going back and forth trying to figure out which plan would work for me, Atkins or WW, I really need a variety of food to be satisified so I'm going for WW, I know it's not true, but to me, I see Atkins as a "quick fix" like I said, that's only MY opinion, which is why I know I can't do Atkins, I would be doing it for the wrong reasons.

I just started WW this morning at home, I have all the books here from a previous attempt. I don't know if anyone else does this but what i've found that works for me is if I do my weigh ins on Fridays and give myself a little play room on the weekends, but with the flex points that may not be needed this time! I'm really excited about this and HOPE I can stick to it this time! I found this hardest thing to do is get moving, i've gaged out a route that's just over a mile at home, i'm doing that everyday and trying to get my water in, does anyone know if it's ok to add the sugarfree flavoring to your water? Does it still count towards your water??

Thanks!!
Jeanette

welcome jc!
looks like youre on the right track good for you! i do sat wi and then play a bit too esp since im on core. and yes crystal light and all of the others count. theres another group on this board that you may wanna jump in its called losin ladies and iis located in the support group section.

Hi jcogs!

I lost 25lbs doing South Beach, but when I started adding more foods back into my diet, I gained it all back. I know people who have really made SB their lifestyle, but I wasn't able to do it.

I started on WW last week and was down 5.2lbs after my 1st weigh-in. I don't expect to lose as much for the next weigh-in, but I am getting the hang of what I can, can't, should, and shouldn't eat. My portions are finally under control and I'm finally understanding what a "real" portion looks like. What a shock!

Anyway, good luck!!! I've found that the ladies here are really helpful and smart. Jump in and post any time!

wtg snow!!!!!

Thanks so much Andrea and Liz, it's so nice to have some support!! This is it for me....I just got back from shopping, I was going to get some new jeans and shorts, I have basically one pair that fit right now...lol Well...I tried on the size I THOUGHT I wore now and nope...didn't fit...wayyyy too tight!!! I almost died...I didn't even try them on in the store, so now I have to go take them back, i'll be danged if i'm going to buy a bigger size! Looks like i'm sticking to the one pair for now..lol I thought about keeping them as a motivator, but I think i'll just wait until I can go down a size or 2 then go buy something new.
