It makes sense, I was increasing protein and I stayed on track. I had a little carb binge (staying in points) and craved stuff
Not looking forward to weigh-in, I was already up on Friday and then went out for dinner and drinks with friends

I have heard similar things before that your body craves things not necessarily what you have limited/cut out. Craving cheese is a fat-deficiency I think. Craving sugar is supposedly because of blood sugar fluctuations and it's the quick fix, rather than complex options.
I am with ssbean - my sugars are pretty constant (I have a paranoid diabetic fiancé who tests me frequently) soooo, I just like sugar? :)
Its not about having protein but high protein I think
Personally, I think sugar is just addictive, I leave some points/calories to allow myself some because I know I will want them. If by the end of the day the craving isnt bad, then I have a healthier snack, but I dont deprive myself of the sweets I want
Maintained this week, which given the weekend, is pretty good
yup I maintained as well ( don't know how?? ) I also increased the protein at each meal from 2 oz to 3 or 4 oz. See if that helps fend off the cravings.
I am starting WW on Monday and I am scared out of my wit! I'm 155lbs and need (ok--doc says I'm a healthy weight...so i WANT) to get down to 140lbs. I'm 5'8" so my daily allowance is only 27 pts. I was looking through the booklet of points and I think I will be eating toast and eggs for the rest of my life :'( (the points add up soooo fast!). I have to say though, this thread is very inspirational :)
Toast points add up (coming from the carb junkie)
Eat lots of veggies, they are point free
The best way to feel full is to take a reg plate and visually split it into 4 segments. 1 is meat, 1 starch (whole grain if poss) and the other half are veggies
1.1lbs this week
Congrats on all of the weight loss and effort toward it! I am looking to stop putting junk in my mouth. Not sure why I do it, probably something related to instant gratification or emotional eating. I am going to check into this thread more often for inspiration and try exercising in place of chip eating. You guys are awesome. Every time I blink I have more in common with SCers.
I did my bust/waist/hip measurements yesterday with my running buddies, and I'm happy to say that I'm down 5 inches in my waist! We'll measure them in a month or so again.
Also, you know how there is pear shape and apple,... did you know there is a banana shape? Apparently I am it... I always just called myself a cylinder but I should be called a banana. 46% of you women out there are also bananas.
A banana? Who knew
I am a pear
A banana? First time I hear this lol. Sounds cute :p
My third day on WW today, so far so good! Points add up super quick though...especially when I'm in school 8:30 am to 5:30pm. Yesteday 10 of my 27 pts went into that window of time with a simple sandwhich, cheesestring, and oreo thinsations! Haven't used any bonus points, I'm keeping them for one day "off" :)
I'm not crazy ladies :)

makes sense, although it makes me think of someone kinda bent in the middle
