Glad to see everyone here. Glad to see all the losses!
I have changed my eating this week. I was going over my eating books and seeing what was happening. I have found that I am not eating much meat lately. So I decided to try a vegetarian approach to weight loss. NOT to say that I will not eat meat. I love fish and to have a great steak cooked on the grill. But I dont eat much meat on a daily basis. So I got some Boca Burger, Veggie Cheeses and few cans of beans (chick peas & black beans). I already drink Soy milk because I am lactose intolerant.
I did some reading and found good sources of Protein in beans, soy and veggies as well as calcium sources. so I am setting myself up for a great week.
Most of the foods I eat are core except Whole Wheat bread and Weight Watchers Bagels, English Muffins and Yogurt. and I make some kind of muffin each week. this week I made Pumpkin Muffins...Yum! Next week I am going to try some kind of apple muffins. Have to find a recipe for that.
Pumpkin Muffins...
1 Vanilla Cake Mix
1 small Can (15 oz. I think)
1 -2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice, Apple Pie Spice or Cinnamon (my addition)
Mix all ingredients. put into cupcake liners. Bake until tooth pick comes out clean. Keep refridgerated and eat in 7 days.
46 points for all the mix.
So if you make 18 muffins like I do, They are 2.5 points each.
24 muffins 2 points each.
Here are my points for the days...
Monday 28 points
Tuesday 26 points
Wednesday 31 points
Thursday 27 points
Friday (SHD) 41 points
Saturday 26 points
Sunday 30 points
I weigh in tomorrow...Let you know...Last week I stayed the same but I was not very good. I did not track anything...Life was very hectic and I really didnt have time...I try to eat all core foods.

n a nutshell, the way I understand it is this: Vary your points daily, making sure your super high day is a minimum of 3 days before weigh in. Other than that, the way you vary the points is personal choice? Does this very simplified version sound correct?
My weigh in is tomorrow (Saturday) and I'm anxious to see the results. I've not used many flex points in the last two months because I really haven't been hungry or needed them.....therefore, using so many of them makes me a bit nervous!! __________________

Kelly, you are basically right. Your points are kind of set for you by the wendie plan rules...It goes by your current weight.
One rule to remember is you want to have at least 3 lower days before your weigh in.
You have 214 in your profile....Here is what it looks like.
POINTS TARGET - 26 (Weigh 200 - 224 lbs)
Day 1 - 26 points Thursday
Day 2 - 31 points Friday
Day 3 - 27 points Saturday
Day 4 - 41 points Super High Day (SHD)Sunday
Day 5 - 26 points Monday
Day 6 - 30 points Tuesday
Day 7 - 28 points Wednesday
You can make your SHD when ever you want it...I usually have it the day after my weigh in...which was Thursdays but now is Wednesdays..but I kept Friday as my SHD. The easiest way to change the order is to type lets say Sunday next to your super high day..then go to what is written as day 5 and write Monday. then day 6 write Tuesday, until you have a day next to each day listed..
Hope this helps you...
Well I am going to go...Have to get my daughter ready for PreK.
Hope all the weigh ins go well... Talk to you later!
I'm am thrilled with the loss 
..but obviously got my hopes up with the WP for a little more. It was a little larger than my loss from last week so that's a good thing. So I have decided I'll stick with WP for atleast one more wekk & see how it goes. 
and whatever you do, don't send them my way. Actually my weakness is Cream Filled Maple Bars.....Yum!
Look at me getting all nit-picky....Heavens knows I need all the help I can get.
Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
it's been two weeks and not down yet.
Stacy- I really am proud that you lost weight.
This is what I am sending to everyone
