Hey! How is everyone doing? I had my first weigh in today and I lost about three pounds. Not too bad! I was bummed that the three pounds brought me to a weight that lost me a daily food point!
I am still having a hard time adjusting to this point thing. I find myself obsessing over my food more than I ever did before and I find that very difficult to deal with. Does that make sense? I am tracking on-line, so I find myself trying different meals to see what is the least point option. It is okay for now, but I know that it is eventually going to get REALLY annoying after a while.
So how are all the other WW newbies doing? Anyone else having issues with the points?
My first weigh in was Wednesday. I lost 6.4 (I have over 100 to lose). I also went down a point this week. I am really trying to focus on the Good Health Guideines that we are supposed to follow. I am trying to get those in (or have them planned for later in the day) before I eat an empty snacky item (pretzels, baked lays, etc)
