The Weight Watchers Support group ~ over 1/2 a TON weight loss so far!!!

[lady3]

Awww. Thanks for the welcome girls. This is the first time I've ever tried anything like this. I always thought it would be a lot harder to understand points and portions than it seems to be (she says after 1/2 a day....)
I get 23 points a day and am hoping to lose 15-20 pounds by August. My weigh in day is on Sunday.

I used to do an awesome exercise class (one of those military bootcamp ones). I loved it and went all the time. But I think I went too much and have done my knee in, so am looking at other ways to get healthier as I can't do any exercise atm.

Lady I used to feel the same way! I was so sure I couldn't do it that I never bothered trying. But now that I am doing it I find it really simple for the most part! I was also worried that I'd do it and not lose

I started on 23 points a day, went down to 22 after my first weigh in. I found it really hard for the first week, but I've noticed that I can go for longer periods of time now that I'm not stuffing my face full of junk and crap that doesn't do my body any good!



You're going to do great!

Good luck at your WI, Panda!


So I made a "grilled" cheese today. It was okay. Normally I butter each slice of bread and then fry it in the pan with cheese. I used that Blue Menu cooking spray (1 sec spray on each slice) then used processed cheese slices. It definitely did the trick! It wasn't as greasy (read: yummy) as a regular one but really hit my craving for grilled cheese sandwhiches! I bet I could get reduced fat cheese slices which would work oh so much better, and only use 1 slice instead of the two that I did.

So:

2 slices of bread - 1 pt
2 slices of cheese - 3pts
Cooking spray - 0 pts
2 tbs ketchup - 1 pt

Not too shabby! Will have to find a way to make it less points, as I love me some grilled cheese sandwiches!

Tiff for the cheese slices which ones are you using? Kraft (I think) makes a fat free cheddar cheese slice. not sure how many points for two, it is one point for one (will try and check later for you). Ketchup--Blue Menu ketchup is 0 points per 2 tablespoons!!

Good luck for those weighing tomorrow

I'll be so glad when it gets to wednesday evening and i can get weighed and find out just how bad i've done. I really have been awful this week. I just want to start afresh. I'm definitely in for a gain this week. I'm going to have a sneaky peek on the scales in the morning and see what that says.

Wish i had the willpower you girls have I must say though, i find it much harder doing it this time round now i've got to work round Madison. You can guarantee when i sit down to something to eat she'll start crying so either it goes cold or just goes to waste then i end up picking at other stuff....

 

[Vickie]

Squidge Hannah is much much much older which makes it easier imo

You can do it though, just have to be more careful, maybe have some easy to eat foods around? Can you possibly have OH watch her for part of a day so you can cook some meals and freeze them? (or he can cook them )

my day:

french toast: 3 points
turkey sandwich & 18 reduced fat pringles: 8.5 points (the pringles were 3 points on their own though )
lasagna & bok choy: 8 points

which puts me at 19.5 points so far, will have a skinny cow treat later or some popcorn

He's out most of the time either at uni or work I've decided i'm going to put my housework on hold when she's asleep and do cooking instead...

I can still do housework when she's awake because she loves to watch and look around at me but i wouldn't have her in the kitchen with me. I've moved a few ready meals from the freezer upstairs to our downstairs one for a quick meal if she's on one again so that'd help.

I guess i'll just have to try and time her It is hard trying to diet whilst having a baby but i can't use that as an excuse. I have to do it!

 

[Vickie]

honestly the first few months I don't know how we got anything done and I had a lot of support from Stan!

I've also had to learn to let some things slide so that the more important ones (eating is at the top ) get done

 

[Tiff]

I was oh so bad tonight! Had a couple of handfuls of the Party Mix (with pretzels, cheezies and ringolos), a few more handfuls of chips with an amazing guacamole dip and some pringles. Mmmm....

I don't even know the point values that I ate! I'm going to shoot high though and say around 14 points or so? I don't think it was that much, but better to aim high, right?

 

[Vickie]

I'm not sure I don't eat guacamole. Can you work any of it out on the online thingy? might give you a rough idea

 

[Tiff]

Hmmm... I'm going to shoot for around 6 tbsp of guacamole, so about 6 points or so... the chips... Chips: I know I didn't eat 16, but I definitely had more than 8 or so, 7 points and the handful of Humpty Dumpty Party Mix= 3 points.

Soooo around 17 points or so? That seems about right. Hello Flex Points!!!!!

 

[Vickie]

Hope you enjoyed your cheat day

Guacamole isn't to bad! I thought it might be higher than that!

 

[Tiff]

I wasn't taking big scoops of it for that very reason! But at least it was good fats!

I am very much enjoying my cheat day! It ain't over yet!

 

[Vickie]

you still have a few hours left (well depending on when you go to bed )

 

[Vickie]

Morning all! I hope everyone is having a good day so far
