The important thing is -- Did you enjoy everything you ate at WDW? Please tell me that you enjoyed every indulgent bite (because that's what I plan to do in April).

I am 13.6 pounds away! Yes, my mom is doing it online too.

robinb, I hope you have a wonderful time at WDW. And I agree, I hope you enjoyed every indugence.


I am down 1.2 pounds this week! Did alot of walking.

Up .2 this week. It was because of the WW leader Tom -- he kept encouraging me to try different flavors of the bars at the WW open house Saturday. I told him last night he made me eat at least nine points worth of bars in one day, so the .2 gain was all his fault, lol.

Isn't it nice when you can blame someone else. Especially a WW leader!

I was down 1.2 at my WI today. Tracking works.

Good luck everyone. I've tried WW so many times. But it's a problem with me not the plan. I'm so excited for you all!

Down 1 lb this week so I'm back to a total of 41 lbs lost. I'm hoping to be back to 46 lbs before my next Disney trip. I'm also working on my fourth 5K in April. Feels so good to be back on program! I hope everyone has a good week.

WOW keahgirl8 I'm impressed....you have done so great on the program!

Well I went to the grocery store today while I was starving. As you can imagine that was not a good thing! I ended up buying a pint of Ben & Jerry's... and I ate it for lunch. BUT I still had all my weekly's and found the greatest strawberries which I had for dinner. Yum. I hope everyone else is having a great day!

I'm wondering if something was wrong with the WW database or website or whatever on Saturday. I had three friends that joined Saturday and all three of them got 26 points. That's it. Now, one (K -- late 50s) I could see getting 26, she joined to be with her sister (R -- also late 50s). K doesn't have much to lose. R, on the other hand, probably has at least 50 to lose. And R's dil M (30) also joined, she has about 20 to lose. I just don't understand why R only has 26 points. Does this seem odd to anyone else?

Hi Debbie,
That seems odd to me, too. 26 is the lowest anyone ever gets. It does seem like there would be a points allowance difference for a 50 pound difference. I know they put things other than weight, height, and gender into the calculation, but that does seem off. Maybe your friends can ask a receptionist or leader about it. (Of course, if they stick with 26 points, they're going to see fantastic first week results. That's not sustainable, however.)

Yay! Congrats! Welcome back!

I went out to dinner tonight with friends which happens pretty rarely. I tracked every single thing and I really think that I was honest with myself. How do you estimate points when you have no clue what the nutritional info is? I did check the website but it isn't there.

I take my best guess. Weight Watchers has general entries for most foods. If I ate grilled chicken breast, I track that. If I ate rice, I track rice. Any tracking is better than no tracking.
