Good luck everyone who is weighing in today!!

I made some WW zero points soup last weekend. It really did curb that crazy grazing feeling I have when I come home from work... I think that might be a plan...

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I lost more than I thought I would.

My new number is 9.6 in a down direction.

It is totally due to not snacking on crappy items and sticking to the rice cakes or a small piece of cheese.

PS- finally joined the sparkpeople today

Good Morning!
Congrats on the wieght loss.

I am at 1.0- same as last week, surprisingly enough as I have been bad about snacking and not done my exercise.

the scale god liked me this am. my new number is 4.5 down 1 more pound. I have NOT been good about the exercise fitting it in where I can so this is almost totally just by eating better foods. I cheated this weekend with my scrap too.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I'm at 9 this week, down .5!! Very slow & steady!!!

 

[LindaBabe]

GREAT JOB everyone!

ANYTHING that is holding or downward is better than UP! I think just being mindful of what we put in our mouths is a help, because if we THINK about eating something we shouldn't, we usually don't, ykwim?

Ate very healthy yesterday - you don't want the long boring list again, do you? Goal - DO the same today, and more water. Went to the gym and pool - less in the gym but different stuff than yesterday. (not confused, weight lifting)

After that dress came, it was sure fire winner that I MUST do something about these upper arms, because it doesn't have ONE OUNCE of fabric to hide them. nothing. bare for the world to see. I haven't gone bare armed since 1973

We can do it yes we CAN

Happy day, all!

DH cooked again last night, so not sure if I stayed on points.

Wednesday and Thursday work has these amazing soups, and I usually splurge and buy instead of brown bag on those days. So I looked the names up online...and they are Cambells soups for restaurants! Who knew I have all the info I need to get the point value. This is not such a great thing at the moment though... today's soup is like 14pts for 8oz serving

 

[morgansmom2000]

I heart soup! Which ones are they, Deb?

 

[PinballFamily]

Down .5 again this week. (Thought I'd actually go up a bit, thanks to the handfuls of chocolate chips I've been nervously grabbing as we've awaited the mail during the past week...)

Whew! So, starting number a few weeks ago was at a 5, now at a 2. Hope the slow and steady progress continues and that there isn't one of those nasty and seemingly endless plateaus in my future...!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Those plateaus are bad. I get them with my hair growth too. Weird huh?

 

[MazdaUK]

Still staying off the scales, but my trousers fit (the ones I wanted to wear today - I haven't tried all of them as I don't want to know all the answers) despite a naughty week in Belgium with Leffe, french bread, cheese etc. But I was good - no snacking! Maybe I should have pain au chocolate every day as I went right through to lunch on that. Or maybe I should give up work, as I've had a banana, apple, ww yoghurt and a (home made) tuna mayo sandwich - OK so far? PLUS 3 tiny brownie bites and 3 small bickies I brought in because it was my birthday.

pasta tonight so I need to go easy on the parmesan.

 

[Arizona Rita]

I think my scale must be broken because it has sid the same number for the past 6 months!!
Yesterday was one of those bad days but the scale stayed the same. I must be doing something right tho because Ive been pushing for 3 miles in just over an hour and it seems to be coming a bit easier.
Peeps? LOVE peeps! how amny pts are they?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I bought a box of Weight Watchers desserts. I got the lemon cake things. They look like Zingers/Hostess twinkie things. Said 80 calories. I'm down with that.

Oh my goodness. I just opened the box to have a snack. These things are no bigger than my finger. Seriously. That must be why they are so few in calories. Thought I was going to split and save half for later.

Yup - that's how they make the calories so small. You know those little packets of chips from vending machines? THAT's 2 SERVINGS! And pasta! MAzda - you're better off watching the pasta than the parm - do you know how LITTLE two ounces of pasta is? Not enough to fill a hollow tooth!

Next time, go for the Hostess 100 calorie packs. 3 mini (yes very mini) twinkies, cupcakes, or whatnot for 100 calories. It "feels" like more because there are 3, and they are still generally only 2 points

 

[MazdaUK]

I have 3 1/2 ounces - I know, 5 points! But then I'm full and not picking. But I love parm and the loust 1T WW allow barely makes an impression

As it turned out, we didn't have pasta as MIL had brought over meatloaf for the boys and there was plenty for 4, with mash and spinach sauce

I sometimes have ww meals - yup, tiny! I find the lasagnes (the chicken one and the meat one) are OK, the mac n cheese not bad, and the cottage pie OK but the rest are too tiny.

ETA we just had WellWoman screening at work and my BP was 140/85 On MOnday (this week) It was 110/85 - my work is obviously too stressy! AND my cholesterol was up so I need to go and have a test (although the good C was quite high so its not as bad as it sounds). I need a new job!

 

[Arizona Rita]

My WW leader actually told us why bother with those little things! Eat something that will fill you up even if its an extra ww ice cream bar because its more filling and at one pt each, ok, just dont make a habit of it.

Bamb, I stayed the same this week, but my tops are fitting better.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I just wanted to say thank you to you all for helping me keep to this exercise.
I am now comfortable doing 20 - 25 minutes a day. Broken up of course. I am making healthy choices with my food and not freaking out when I pick a not so great choice. Like the 2 slices of pizza with cheese, mushrooms, onions and spinach with garlic butter instead of red sauce. But, boy was it good.

Starting a new month tomorrow of healthy choices.

 

[ddavis860]

Weigh in tomorrow... I was pretty good over the weekend, so I hope the scale agrees.

I wore a top today that I wore at Christmas, and it is kinda big. I love it, so I have to take it in a bit I guess
