I have recently discovered sweet potatoes. A good-sized one is only 3 points and I bake it in the microwave and use spray butter on it. It is full of antioxidants and very filling.You can also drizzle a smidge of honey on it or some cinnamon. My weigh in is tomorrow so I hope I am still on the way down!

Had my WI today - down 3.4!! I'm so thrilled

Good work. Glad to see your success.

Back On track.

Isn't it great when you have an explanation that makes sense? Good luck in the coming week. I'm right there with you.

Thank you for sharing about the special k cracker chips! They are good and seem like a cheat!!

 

[miflag1]

I found the Special K chips at my local grocery store (Hy-Vee). I tried the sea salt variety first and then bought the sour cream and onion ones this week! They kind of remind me of the old 'munchems' chips (minus the grease!). I LOVE getting to eat 30 for a serving size!!!!

I was down 3.5 this week! Excited to see the scale continuing to move downwards. I know I can't expect nice drops like that, but it is nice in the beginning to see it come off. Pants that were too tight at Christmas are fitting me much better.

Another loss of 1.8 pounds this week. So far I am averaging just over four pounds a week. I understand this will not last but it is nice to see the progress so far.

Plus I have lost 7 inches (thigh, hip, waist, chest, upper arm total) the last three weeks. Good job P90X, keep it up.

That looks like a great day of eating. I may have to copy that.

And by the way, I enjoy your "Costco" sign, it cracks me up every time I see it.

Bacon? Taco Bell? A Burger? This is a diet? I lost over 50lbs eating this way. Thats why I love WW

I like to see people's daily menus to give me ideas on how to spend my points too.

Anyone else having trouble finding the new PPV products in the stores? Our Super Wal Mart is SLOWLY getting some, but it seems to be taking a while!! So frustrating!

 

[gypsydoodlebug]

Weigh-in day today! I am using my home scale and was down 4 lbs.

It has been up and down all week but I have been 100% legal so I'm counting it as real! I did order a new scale yesterday.

We have 8 days left until WDW!

Now that the new PointsPlus plan has been around for awhile, I was wondering how everyone is liking it? I used the old points program for awhile and did pretty good with it. Quit going to meetings and luckily haven't gained the weight back, but need to get back with it because I still have a lot that I need to lose.

Anyway, I really liked the points program because it was so easy and I found it easy to figure the points on items. This new way of calculating points seems like it would be harder to always have the nutritional information on the items, so I'm a little nervous about it. The meetings in my town (there are only 2 offered) are not at a time that I can go, so I'm going to have to join online, so I'm thinking of just using my old material and sticking with what I know.

Sorry this ended up so long, but I guess I'm just wondering if people who've done both plans like this plan as much as the earlier points plan.

So, I had my weigh in yesterday and was up 1lb. I have been the same weight essentially since 12/9 except this week. I really mixed it up this week different food, I did elliptical only 2x's this week. The other days I did cardio blast workouts on the demand channel. I aslo added some weights this week. I did I guess cheat a little on Sunday and had pizza however, it was within my points I had. So, I was pretty much having a pity party for myself and decided to measure myself. The last time I measured myself was 11/18 so I've lost an additional 2 inches in my waist and 2 inches in my hips. I also lost in every other area except legs. My legs get the most exercise so maybe muscle. Anyway, that made me feel a lot better that something is still happening. Then to top my day off I tortured myself by trying on the dreaded bathing suit. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried on a 12 and need a smaller size . So, that made me feel better too. I walked out with a 10. Two summers ago I was in a stretched out 18 . I know I'm blabbing on about this, but it's again given me another push I need. The proof is in the pudding, although the scale is not moving, there are other "victories" to look at. Hope we have some great Friday weigh ins today .

You are right and I need to remember that too. It is not always the scale where we have victories is it?

That is my suggestion to everyone take your measurements!! It's never to late to start.

Very wise advice from Stephanie and Dave. Victories and success show up in different ways. I put on a pair of slacks today and they just looked awful because they're too darn big. I put those back and am wearing my new size 10's. Yea!!! (I'll never get in a size 10 bathing suit like Stephanie, though!)

doesn't that feel so good to have clothes too big. I didn't think I would fit in a 10 bathing suit either. I bought 12 jeans a while back and now they are a little big. But I can wear them the 10's fit great I even bought a pair of 8 cargo pants a few weeks ago but 8 jeans I could get on but it wasn't pretty.
