So. I did it - I put my wallet where my mouth is and I joined Weight Watchers!

I am down 4.8 today at weigh in. 2 ounces from my 5 pound goal for the first week. Its good but I can do better! 2 ounces will be gone for next week.

Now the reason I sound like that is if I say "Oh its only 2 ounces" then I will eventually wont hold myself accountable for anything in the future. For instance "Oh its only a few chips" ect ect.... I have always thought that way "Oh its only" and I know for myself that it doesnt work for me and it ruins my goals LOL! If you gals know what I mean. But I am thrilled I am down 4.8!

Whoop-whoop! Awesome Kelly!

Woohoo, that's a great loss!

Thank you!!! I havent been at this weight in awhile!!!! I do truly love WW

i am down 1.4 this week, total of 11.2 :)

WTG Poutze!!!!

Awesome poutze! :excited:

Way to go, kelly & poutze

Kelly, as much as I understand the 'its only' feeling, WW are big on saying if you do want a few chips etc, eat them so you don't crazy crave them and can also ruin your goals.

What I do with those items is, as soon as I get home, I ziplock them into portions and write the points on the bag, so if I want chips for example, I do have them, but I look at the bag and ask myself, do I have xyz points in my allowance today?

I also made some substitutes to the type of snacks I buy, for a chip craving, Quaker Crispy Mini's are 2pts for a reasonable snack serving, Kettle Baked Chips are really good if you want 'real chips'

I do the same for cookies, I bought a box of Cadbury fingers at NF and they are all packaged up in 3 finger portions (2pts)

so if I want that snack, I know its exactly 2 pts (or however many, some are 1 or 3). If I have been using a lot of points that day, I look at the bag, think uh that is 2 more points I can have for dinner and put it back, writing the points really big on the baggie makes it very noticable

Completely random, did you know that VH Cooking Sauce has 2x points of their Stir Fry Sauce?

Thanks FallenPixels! I just dont want to mess up. Today I have eaten more points. i have 11 left for the rest of the day! last week being my first week i would have that left almost everyday. I really likee thinsations and luckily they are on sale at GT this week and I like the special K bars! i have written the points on a few things that I am able to write on. I am still enjoying WW. I want to lose at least (I want to say 20 pounds) before I start dabbling in the 'goof stuff' ex. chips! I honestly dont have any craving for anyt of it right now, when I start to then I will look into getting some and I will def pre pack them and mark the points like you suggested! I am feeling so good since on the program. I am getting a bit more confidence in my looks and have very little digestive problems now! YAY!

I was down another .6. I've started hitting the gym twice a week with DH, while DS has a class in the pool or elsewhere in the facility. Great motivation!

WTG Zonny!!! I bet you after a few times going it will make you feel great and give you motivation to go more! And then you will love it. I love doing my Zumba excersie. I feel accomplished!

WTG Zonny!

Kelly, if you are under on your points too much you find you will not lose or even gain, that is why Amberlab and I both put our points back up recently

Yesterday I pretty much ate them all but 2 . So I ate 32 out of 34. Tonight I am going to The Keg for dinner for my anniversary! i have looked up the points. My steak will be 11 points. Baked potatoe and mashed is crazy points. So I am going to have steak salad and or Veg. But depending on what I eat during today I might get a baked potatoe. To eat my points.

we have a work function tonight with a 4 course dinner including steak and chocolate fudge tart - kill me now
