I've 'heard' of them pamy but not really enough specifics other that that you supposedly can loose weight with them.. :)

I haven't heard of them Pamy. Are you going to try them? If so, let me know what you think! I probably wouldn't use them because I'm headed in another direction with losing my weight by going through a life-style change with my eating habits. But I'd be interested in knowing if they work for you!

Pamy, I seen those the other day at Target but I don't know anybody who has tried them. I thought they were a little risky but what do I know? Absolutely nothing, LOL.

I bought 7 boxes of girl scout cookies!! Luckily, I have four teenagers in the house to share them. Tonight is my daughter's birthday dinner and we are having cheescake for dessert! Yikes! I will post the damage tomorrow.

Hi all! I have just been to my first WW meeting. I have been lurking (again) for a few weeks. It is great to have a place to report in and get encouragement. Keep up the good work of life style changing. I am on that path now too.

Nancy

hi pixie and welcome!! Keep with it and soon you'll make goal like i just did :)

OK..explain something about WW for me. I have friends who have had great success, but the points confuse me. I, fortunately don't have alot to lose, so the points for my current weight and my goal weight are the same..how will I lose weight?

Nancy

Thursday, March 06, 2003 - 07:11 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
because the points are geared towards loosing--the calories although not counted are meant for people to loose on--once you hit goal you add points to that to keep from continuing too loose--the lowest loosing point range is 18-23(for less than 150 lbs) i know am eating points for 2 ranges higher than that 22-27 and if i loose this week again my points will go up some more :)

Welcome Pixie!! Let's do this!! I just got back from my 2nd WW meeting and weigh-in. Here are the results:

Lost: 1.8 pounds
Total Lost: 4.6 pounds

Tonight my Leader talked about the "BLT" points that we forget to add in our daily point count.
B=bites, L=licks, T=tastes
That was an eye opener for me because that's exactly what I did last week and I felt like I was caught with my hand in the Girl Scout cookie jar!! LOL

Nancy

congrats egbok .4 more and you get a star!!

blt's wow our leader talked about those months ago--and your not alone almost everyone does that--especially when preparing food LOL

Egbok

LOL..about getting a star for .4 more...that's what the weigh in lady said too!!

As for the BLT's, I re-examined my journal and tried to remember the BLT's and I was surprised at how many encounters I had and how they added additional points to my total. I've gotta watch those BLT's!!

It's nice having you here to root me on Nancy! Thanks!!

great job, eggie! you're doing so well! i actually don't do the blt thing, but only because i usually just have one thing for whatever meal i'm eating (like a can of green beans, or peas, etc) so suprisingly, that's not an obstacle for me. i'm not much of a cook! if you can't do it in the microwave, or foreman grill then i probably don't eat it. lol

congrats again on your success!

and welcome pixie! you came to the right place. the people here are so supportive and helpful!

Lost another 1/2... 7 gone to date. I'm going to lower my points a couple this week and continue with the exercise and water... Hopefully I'll see a bit more come off next week. :)

Jbean, I'm an "OK" cook but my problem is that I hate to cook.

I do like fresh vegetables and one of the ways that I cook them is to pan saute them with a little bit of water and seasonings. One of my favorites (and easiest) is combining sliced fresh zuccini with frozen corn. It's a hearty and tasty dish!

Enb(L.), congratulations on another half pound gone!! Sounds like you're well on your way.

My point range is 22-27 but I'm pretty sure I'll be dropping it next week after my weigh-in because I'm determined to have lost the weight needed to go down to the next points level. This does concern me though, because it means less food...yikes!

Nancy

eg you'll do fine--you should 'learn' about activity points next week so if you're really hungry you can add in those points for those miles walked you have been doing--plus eat more zero points food :)

Egbok - I hear ya! Because I'm nursing baby Nate full time, I get to eat 32-37 points a day which is a lot!! When I stop nursing I have to take off 10 points... urghhh! The idea is I won't be as hungry - I hope they're right. I've been eating up to 37 every day so I'll go to 35 now and see if that helps. Nate is not eating as much as he used to now so it's probably time I start to adjust. It's really a science. :)

Don't be blue Jbean! You stayed EVEN - didn't lose but more importantly...didn't gain! I'm glad you shared your weigh-in today.

It's not easy to lose weight and we're all here for you!

jbean as EG said don't be blue that happens --it could be a number of things--from too much salt to those beers--to just plain stupid scales :)
