Boaterswife-maybe you can substitute your bread back to non WW bread. Try to eat the same stuff, just beef up the points value of what you eat. Throw some mayo on the bread at lunch?? If you like. Not sure. I don't normally have a problem getting all my points in. I am usually over if anything.

Speaking of being over, I am getting pizza tonight since I have the Girl Scout meeting here. I will be a few over for the day. Oh well!! I will be ok.

I'll give that a shot, buffalosister! I don't want to snack (although I have the past two days) because I feel like that was part of my problem to start with....a couple bites of this, a little of that....you know what I mean! At the same time, however, I don't want to be so low on my points that when I do make goal, and I WILL make goal, that I have to survive on almost nothing to maintian!

Hello everyone!! Amy congratulations on the loss!!! Good for you!!!! Morrigan, one of my daughters turned 12 on the 22nd! I gave birth to her just after midnight on the 22nd in 1994. Her bday was soooo close to the 21st. Well you guys, I have done ok today. Stayed within my pts. yesterday and today. I didn't post yesterday because I had class. I only rode my bike 5 miles yesterday. Today I rode 20 miles. Anyway everyone have a great night and will talk to you all tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,

Well, we had the birthday party yesterday for my son's 10th with about 14 kids here and 6 parents (including my siser-in-laws). The kids had so much fun. I rented one of those water slides. The kids were in it all day. I served veggies with french onion dip (not non-fat) and lowfat wheat thins with spinach dip (also not low fat). Also served fruit salad and my special green salad. I was running so much that I didn't really eat much. I think I had a slice of pizza for lunch, with salad, a bite of my son's birthday cake, a few choc chip cookies and 2 small pizzas as left overs for dinner last night. It was a whirl of a day. So I didn't track on paper. Just tried to be modest about what I was eating. Today and tomorrow I will be very stingy with the points. I also have my mom's birthday party to go to on Saturday. August is a busy month here. So if I didn't lose this week, I hope at least I've maintained.

I was also thinking about school too and wondering where the money will come from. I've worked as legal secretary for years and was thinking of a medical assistant. With paying for my older son's college tuition and my younger son's private school as well as all the other activities I don't know where I'll get the money.

I will post later. Hoping you all stay on track and congratulations to all who have been successful in your week. I've read all the posts before and you all sound like you are having a great week so far.

I had considered asking my parents - they offered to pay for little sis to go to law school (though she declined). But - I think I will try to muddle through on a payment plan with the University.

I totally overate yesterday - 52 points - that is like two days worth of food. I just had a long crappy day. Today DH took the day off and I left the house at 6am and won't be back until about 10pm. I am at school trying to get work done before we officially start back next week.

Hi guys! Hope your day is going well. It is odd weather here today. Woke up to very loud thunder. It has been drizzling but is still very hot. I could not turn the computer on earlier due to fear of "frying" it. Tons of lightening.

UGH! College tuition. I am worried about that. My oldest is 6, but Arizona state's tuition has doubled since my sister graduated in 2000. Can you say inflation??? I hope my kids get scholarships, but I shall not hold my breath.

Snacked on some pound cake left over from last night. Not healthy at all. I have major PMS. I want to eat nothing but bad food right now. Will check back later. Have a great day!!!

Jennifer------------------is it official>>> can't wait to hear from you!

HECK.... No loss this week. I better get my rear in gear. I'm 3 lbs short on my labor day goal. I MUST!!! get back to Curves.

B-apple 1
Peanut butter 6

L-chinese catered at work. Crazy people, boss is going to china for 6 months so they feed him chinese for his going away luncheon. He told me he was hoping for home cooked food.
I'm not sure how many pts but I had nothing fried and ate a small amount of white rice.
I'll post dinner later

Thursday 8/24
Latte (2), latte (2), kashi with milk (3)
Lunch and dinner: chicken sandwhich (15) - I am guessing here based on the amount of bread, meat, and dressing

24 point day

then 2 skinny cows (5) and a sbdb (2)

31 point day

Well, I did it! I ate ALL my points today. In some ways that seems like a good thing, other ways it's like I just had too much. Anyway..

B - Thomas Onion Bagel with cream cheese 8 pts
L - Leftover Chicken Parm & a few noodles 10pts, jello 2 pts
D - Cola chicken with rice and mixed veggies 7 pts, ww carrot cake for dessert 1pt.

28 on the nose, but it felt like too much fattening stuff. Funny how 18 days of ww can change your way of thinking! It's hard to believe that's all it's been, it feels like a long time!

Question: can anyone explain the popcorn with oil thing to me? THANKS!

You'll have to thank Kelly S for the popcorn info

Here is the Link

POPCORN

Rocky start to my day.

Breakfast: malt o meal 3pts

gym: 40 minutes 317 calories burned

Now, I am starving!!! I ate my son's left over pop tart 4PTS!!!

I want to eat more. d@mn TOM!!!

Off to do some shopping. I am lucky enough to go see Tim Magraw and Faith Hill for free tonight. I scrounged up something to wear in my closet, but my shrinking breasts require a new bra (OMG I am going to buy a B cup)

Breakfast: oatbran cereal (2), latte (2), creamer (1)
Lunch and Dinner (halvsies): tofu (8) stir fry (1)
Snack; Cliff Bar (4) and 1/2 rice crispy thing (1)

This will put me at 19 points with room for 1 more snack.

Hey everyone! breakfast-all bran cereal bar/grapes/banana=5 pts. lunch-spaghetti/broccoli=10 pts. dinner-salad=5 pts. snack-sf pudding=1 pt. total for the day is 21 pts. I started working out at curves again today. I rode my exercise bike 15 miles. Everyone have a great weekend!!

Good evening, everyone!

Breakfast - Wonder Lite Wheat toast w/jelly 2pts
Snack - dry fruit loops 2pts.
Lunch - Hilshire farms ham sandwich on WL bread 2pts, pretzels 1pt, 2 hershey's mini candies, 2pts
Dinner - 3 pieces Louies pizza (our pizzas are cut into small squares) 9pts, 2 pieces garlic bread (I caved from the smell) guesstimating 8 pts., they were like 1-1/2" square....

Anyway, 28 points.

Morrigan, I saw Kelly's post about all the popcorn, and I've used it, but my question is that I see some people post that they had "Popcorn with oil, 3pts." I'm wondering, do some people put olive or flavored oil on top of their popcorn to get the recommended amounts of oil per day? Just a curiosity thing!

Have a good nite, all!

Kelly

no clue - I like butter and Johnny's season salt.
