Question - I'm trying to jump back on track and I'm going to Subway today...

What is the best way to determine point values for their sandwiches?

I have access to the website, so I went into restaurants and typed in Subway, but it doesn't really make sense to me . I normally have a 6" grilled chicken breast with american cheese and the honey mustard sauce. I don't see even the chicken breast sandwich listed. Am I missing something or is there a better way to look it up?

Thanks for any help!!

Is it the oven roasted chicken? Go to subways website and look up the nutritional info and calculate it manually. They even have a meal builder.

Yes, I think that's what it is. Thanks so much for the quick reply. I'll go check it out now!

Let me know what you get but I would say if it was on white bread, 2 pieces of cheese and the honey mustard which says its ff. It would be at least about 10 p+

Just back from weigh in, and another 1.2 pounds are gone!! Meeting was great today. It talked about celebrating weight loss, no matter how small it is. .2 pounds is .2 pounds. There are no such thing as small victories. All victories are awesome!

You are good at this! I put it in - on wheat bread with the american cheese and honey mustard and it is exactly 10 points.

I have to say that their nutrition information on their website is awesome!

, you'll get a knack for guesstimating too but if you can research before you eat out that is your best bet.

Great job!!! I was only down .2 pounds this morning and was bummed about it. I had my boys with me so I did the celebration thing -- the munchkins would have been upset if I hadn't. Of course I said it was "JUST" .2 pounds. Everyone got on me for that. A loss is a loss. That's why the meetings are so great!

6 weeks and 2 days until DW bound. I have got to get my butt in gear and lose 10 lbs by then!

Awesome 1.2 is fantastic!!!!

Right now I am not doing well- off plan for three days and I REALLY need to turn it around today. THe sad part is that anything that I did eat wasnt even that great- just ate for the sake of eating. Pathetic.

I have four days until weigh in on Sunday am. I really need to get it together quickly.

Speaking of bad days...I'm up 2.9 this week! I baked oatmeal raisin cookies and 3 kinds of chocolate chip cookies on Saturday. A loss was not anticipated, however, neither was a gain of 3 pounds!

Hey Stephanie! Tomorrow will be your first meeting without having to pay!

I know the feeling. I gained a pound last week for no other reason than just because my scale didn't want to cooperate. I did nothing wrong. Oh well. Maybe next week will be better!

Yes it will, woot woot . Sorry you are up. This wasn't the week you had to have your work related weigh in is it? Ok, so with that said do you weigh in every week? Maybe it's different when you work for WW. I plan to weigh in the first Thursday of the month, but if I find I am not staying the course I WILL weigh in weekly just to keep myself straight. What were your 3 kinds of cc cookies? I made banana bread today.

I'm down .2 this week, which brings me back to 33.2 for a total. I feel like these are so small steps that I'm taking. Will I ever make another 27 lb lost? Down and out....

Hang in there Steph, I know it seems like it will take forever at that rate. If you look at my tracker there were weeks of .2,.4,.2 and so on then it would pick back up. Make sure you are not eating the same foods or doing the same exercises...mix it up . 33.2 is awesome, keep it up.

 

[AKbabe]

ok, here's the final results:

First photo is 10/31/09 , 2 weeks into starting WW. Second photo is today. Wow, what a difference if I do say so myself. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Wow Stephanie! You look amazing!
