Far from perfect. They served a junk food lunch -- I'm going to have to take lunch. Last year, the cafeteria was very good, mostly 800 ways to cook chicken breast. But this year often the food is so dry it's inedible, or it's...hamburgers, hot dogs and tater tots.
I posted my totals above, but came back to add this note, and say congrats to buffalosister. Morrigan, I hope you stuck to your plan. 3 oatmeal cookies were not in my plan. My totals were just a little over, so it could have been worse, but this wasn't a banner day. AJsMommy, ring in!
Ate too much for dinner, am super full and realizing this may not be the best week to try to get back on program. My dad rented hotel rooms in spokane for 2 nights for me, two of my first cousins, all our husbands and kids, and got tickets to Disney on Ice -- I have Friday night hotel room pizza, and 4 restaurant meals to look forward to in the next few days, plus my mom's assortment of wine and cheese in the hotel room. My cousin Chris eats whatever she wants and only got over 100 lbs once in her life, when she was pregnant. She is 4'11" and 95 lbs. Her sister is the same height as me, but always complains of being fat at about 125. No "kindred spirits" there. The are super nice - and I love them, and our kids have a blast together, but they are hard to diet around.
Thinking of going for the one day at a time personal contest. How many good point days can I do in a row. I am in the 24 point per day catagory, so I'll st my limit at 30. Anything over thirty and I start counting again.
Day one:
oat bran cereal with blueberries (3)
coffe with creamer (2)
latte (2)
tofu salad (6)
apple (1)
This will put me at 14 points when I get off the hill today.
Good plan, Morrigan. I can see your point about not being a good week to restart -- I've certainly been there. And then I realize that NO week is a good week to restart!
Breakfast - yogurt smoothie (5)
Lunch -- chicken in plum sauce -- don't know. They cook low fat, so I'm counting 1 point for the plum sance (it sits in it, you don't ladle it on) and 3 for the chicken; 1/2 cup noodles (2) = 6
Dinner -- stouffer's spaghetti and meatballs (7)
Snacks -- Activia, pbj sandwich, Splash (11)
Ate the pbj within about 2 minutes of getting home. Better than hitting the candy machine!!
Happy happy happy to say.....I am full and have successfully completed another on point day.

Mine has been awful. I was going to skip posting and slink away, but it's worth posting so I'll have to look at how stupid I've been.
I overslept and ran out the door, forgetting even to grap something for breakfast. When I got to work, I ate a banana and as much plain, fat-free yogurt (from the cafeteria) as I could gag down.
Lunch -- what they served was inedible so I had a few spoonfuls of egg salad (low-fat mayo).
Snack -- three guesses. Two hershey bars with almonds, one coke, and one bag of cheetos.
I will repent at dinner -- the lowest calorie soup I have.
This was so avoidable.
First -- eat breakfast. I knew by the time I hit the elevator that I'd forgotten to pack something. If I'd taken two minutes to go back and grab a yogurt smoothie (5 pts) out of the fridge, I'd have been saved.
Second -- pack a lunch. They've posted the menus for next week, and there's nothing that's safely within plan. I must pack lunch, I must pack lunch.
Third -- stop acting like a child and hitting the snack machine because the day has not gone well. Literally, what happened was I hit the up elevator button to get to my apartment, and the elevator went down, and I took it as a sign
At least y'all know I'm an honest woman.
Other Weight Watchers, please join in! I'm worried that no one is eating.....
Oh Xan. Don't beat yourself up about it. Maybe you could squeeze in a walk tonight or some sort of activity. May help you feel better about your day. My day has gone well. I really thing I am back on track.

dinner with great Friends at my home. they will have hamburgers. I will have a veggie burger with fruit and baked chips. Only threat is the beer or wine. I will do my best to stick to one glass of wine or one lt beer. I sometimes don't get on her over the weekend. Don't lose faith in me. I will return on Monday if this happens. --Amy
Okay ladies!!! Where be you???? I did not to well from Friday through Monday. Yesterday was okay but not great. I weighed in last night with yet another gain. At least it was only .4. Doing okay today.

Sorry I've been away -- I had computer problems and couldn't access the site all week.
I'll post yesterday's menu, but it will be my last for awhile. At my doctor's suggestion, I'm going to try (well, retry) low carb. I've committed to do it for at least 30 days. I lose a couple of pounds, then gain it back, then lose again -- I stay within points, but I eat a lot of cereal and bread on WW, and we think low carb will cure that problem.
I may well be back in 30 days, so I hope there are active trackers! Maybe you could start a new thread at the beginning of the new year?
GOOD LUCK to everyone.
Breakfast: Greek yogurt (strawberry)
Lunch: roast beef sandwich, banana, apple
Dinner: Lean cuisine
Snacks: graham crackers, cereal with skim milk, English muffin with jam
Good Lord, has it been THAT long since I posed here?!?!?!
I'm happy to say I'm not 100lbs over what I was last time I reported, but I am up 4lbs since my last weigh in which was about 8 weeks ago...I haven't been attending meetings regularly, and as much as I could sit and make excuse after excuse, they wouldn't be worth anything. I know I'm worth alot more and should have been OP better and maybe I'd be at goal, heck...I know I'd be at goal had I stayed OP this whole time. I started WW March 29th and to date I'm down what....25lbs? That's not that great, nor is it bad when you consider the alternative....no loss and probably more of a gain? I'm determined to maintain, or at least stay UNDER 200 throughout the holidays and come Jan I'm back at my Wed. am meetings ( I get weds off again when I start my new job ) and I want to be in the 180's by Valentines day,whether that means 181-189 I don't care, I just want to be as far from 200 as I can go, in a realistic sense.
I miss posting here and hope to post more regularly, How's everyone doing throughout the holidays??
(My low carb sojourn lasted less than a week, through no fault of low carb. I had a variety of medical issues that got in the way, and am back to Weight Watchers, with the goal of keeping carbs down, and NOT letting junk food creep back in.
