Ok... If anyone signs on tonight... have gentle thoughts... I'm waiting to hear about my dad... seems he didn't do too good today and they are putting him back in the hospital...They're not sure how he's gonna do. At this time I just hope if it's near the end that it's peaceful...

The short answer is, YES.
The above Chicken Satay was 7 points.
You can calculate the points value per serving for ANY packaged food provided you have the calories, grams of fat, and grams of dietary fiber.
I'll send you the 2 day plan I created.
All I did was decide that I was going to work with a target of 24 points a day (everyone's target is different based on a number of factors).
I then went out to the web and looked up SmartOnes and Lean Cuisines and Progresso Soups.
I also figured out how to make meals more filling by adding in salad and veggies (frozen veggies steamed in a microwave in a Ziploc steamer bag).
Another assumption I made is that a can of Progesso soup has 2 servings, but someone would probably just eat the entire can, so I calculated the points based on 2 servings.
I also tried to build in having enough servings of dairy and also built in snacks.
The point of the exercise was to:
- See if I could do a meal plan that involved no cooking (other than microwaving and opening bags, boxes and cans)
- Leverage filling foods to round out meals to make them more satisfying.
It was a sample only, but it's really very doable. The key is doing a bit of planning.
I just emailed you the plan.
(If I were doing this for my meetings, there is no way I could include non-WW foods)
I received the following, extremely odd email today:
"Hi all,
We are in the south Atlantic about 500 miles from the Falkland Islands! This is very interesting!! Lectures each day on sea birds, geology, nature of the Falklands and Antarctica, etc - very cool. Sea has been calm but now a bit choppy (not so cool).
Tomorrow we will disembark at the Falklands and the next day on Antarctica.
Hope all is well. Really just sending this so that you know that we can access our internet (most of the time).
Love you all,
Mom"
My mother died in 1995. Now I come to find out that after that she's decided to start taking cruises, and near Antarctica to boot!
Go figure. She never mentioned ocean travel.
My father died in 2003. I wonder if he decided to stay put, or go traveling like my mother.
And no - this was not a fake email. I was a very real email sent to me.
I don't think she knows her kid's email address.
I did reply to the email.

Just a quick check-in to say "hi" to everyone! It's so "wonder"ful being here on the ship! We're in a Cat. 5 and the verandah is great! We got off the ship today, decided to do a 2 hr. tour of the island with a cab driver ($20@ for 3 of us). It was very nice and now I feel like I've really seen Nassau and know a little bit about it. The weather was beautiful during the day; of course the sun goes down so early, it was nearly dark by 5:30. I've never been in the Caribbean at any other time than summer, it's nice not to be HOT and sweaty!They were playing Xmas carols, Bahamian-style, in all the shops we went to and there are Xmas decorations up. Of course the ship looks beautiful, big tree in the atrium, etc. Time to go see "Toy Story" and then come back and get dressed up for dinner.
I keep expecting to see all of you in the hall, by the pool, at the Cove Cafe, in the WD Theater!!!....:confused3![]()
Wish you were here!
ok that is weird![]()
My dad comes to me in my dreams. He came last night. I've been feeling down and missing him a lot lately, so I think he is checking on me
In Animal Crossing (when the kids and I played on our Ninetendo DSs) sometimes you would get mail from Love Mom. It creeped me out. My mom is still here, but I don't like getting mail from people that claim to be my mom![]()

We're with you in spirit![]()
