Ok, so I weigh in this morning. Hoping to hit 55lbs before the eatathon that starts on Saturday. I was down this morning to that on my scale however that was in my birthday suit and well, we all know we can't way in in our birthday suit.

Would you guys share your favorite FF substitutes? I have yet to find anything that doesn't taste weird. I've learned to cook my whole wheat pasta to death to make it palatable, but what about sauces, dips, etc? Thanks!

I eat "Light" sour cream which I make into dips, blending it with salsa, or onion soup mix.

I also eat Tzatziki like the pp. I get it at Sam's club. 2tbsp is 35 calories.

I don't do FF cheese, but I eat 2% cheese.

As for Pasta, I can do the whole wheat, but it definitely is a different taste. When I want the REAL THING, I go for Ronzoni Smart taste in the purple box. The taste is great.

Why Not?

I weighed in last night. Down 4.6 lbs. Keeping in mind my 4.4 lb gain last week, I am down .2 lbs with 14 weeks left in my 16 lbs in 16 weeks challenge

I was on call last night and my beeper went off shortly after I weighed in, so I had to leave my meeting before it started. I wound up not getting home till after 10 and ate dinner at 10:30 last night. I was so hungry I didn't weigh or measure, so I know I over did it.

Good news is it is a new week today and my slate is clean. Bad news is, 1 less daily point. But hey, thats a sign of things going in the right direction right?

This Morning I had my Bacon & Egg Beater on a Bagel Thin 3 pts

Wow, you more than made up for the prior week. That's great. I just hate it when you take one step forward and two steps back. You took a step back and two forward!

Great job on the 4.6 that's awesome. Even though it was coming off a gain you got it off in one shot .

Yeah, just got dressed, well barely . I have very light, short athletic shorts on and a cami tank top. I'm really pushing the envelope here. My excuse will be all my clothes are packed.

We have discussed this many times at our meetings. Naked WIs with the scales being moved into the bathroom and a really loooong cable to reach the computers at the front.

I eat FF sour cream & yogurt. I try to keep to more natural yogurts without artificial sweeteners because I don't like the taste in yogurt. I eat steel-cut oatmeal or whole grain blends like Bob's Red Mill 5 and 10 grain hot cereal. Lots of rib-sticking fiber and protein. I eat 1-point extra fiber bread and have transitioned to "low fat" cheese . I don't eat a lot of 0-point foods except for baby carrots.

I stayed the same last week.
Lost .8 today for a total of 7. I have 3 pounds to lose for my mini goal of 10 pounds before DL trip (which is in 20 days!)

Congrats on your loss!! You can lose 3lbs in 20 days -- no problem. Probably even a couple more.

And, yeah -- 7 points for breakfast???! Who the heck does that? I try to keep mine around 4, sometimes 5.

You still lost 4.6 this week! You shouldn't be sad about that. I think you can do two more pounds in two weeks. Just keep your eyes on the prize.

I never like to look at losing points as 'bad news'. I was always excited to drop that point. I know it meant eating less food but it also meant a new pair of jeans!

There's an idea! I actually never thought of that one before! I should bring it up at my weigh-in next week!

And, yeah -- 7 points for breakfast???! Who the heck does that? I try to keep mine around 4, sometimes 5.

I ate 7 points yesterday. 2 eggs, cream for my coffee (I don't do FF "cream"), 1 piece of toast and 1 t of natural peanut butter. I think that 7 points for breakfast is perfectly OK for someone who had 20+ daily points to eat in a day. You really don't want to skimp on breakfast or you'll be too hungry by lunch and overeat. Or ... at least that's what happens to me!

Today it was only 5 points: 1 C 10-grain "oatmeal", coffee & cream, 1 banana.

Ok, well I jumped on this thread 10 weeks ago looking for extra support for my 10lbs in 10 weeks before disney Challenge. Today is week 10.................
I am down 1.2 for a total of 12.6 in 10 weeks. However, apparently I jinxed myself cause as perdicted I missed 55 by .2!!!!. I know I shouldn't beat myself up (hence the meeting today). I've accomplished a lot but for some reason, I won't lie, am a little disappointed. I guess I need to drown my sorrows in a butterfinger cupcake in 2 days. No, just kidding on the last line I will drown my sorrows in maybe a few bites of one though.

I just want to say this thread has been a great support to me and you guys are the best!!!! No one else gets the struggle like everyone here.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

So here's what I'm eating today...

I had a WW chocolate smoothie for breakfast. I make mine with 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of water. To that, I added strawberries, a banana, some ice, come cocoa powder and a little bit of sugar. I think next time I'll just use half a banana. The whole banana was a bit overpowering.

For lunch, I'm having a sausage, a fried egg, veggies, fruit and milk.

For supper, we're having Pork Kabobs, grilled zucchini (that's where my 2 oils will be) basmati rice, beets and likely another vegetable.

I'll have fruit and yogurt for a snack at some point.

I plan my meals out from Wednesday to Tuesday. I find it easier to stick to my points that way. I've got a little hump in my week this week, however. I'm going scrapbooking for the whole day (10am - 10pm) on Saturday and they will be providing lunch, snacks and supper. I've heard they're having lasagna for supper , . I'll guess I'll just try to save most of my WPA points for that.

I don't blame you for being disappointed, Stephanie. I would be too. Just watch what you eat today and that .2 will likely be gone tomorrow morning. You're not leaving today, right? It will be gone before you go so dont worry about it not being "official". I know its easy for me to say that because it's not happening to me but looking at it this way may help.

You certainly have accomplished a lot! This thread is a great source of support and you've been giving a lot of it! So go to Disney knowing that you're unoffically at 55 lbs and have a bite of that cupcake as a celebration!

I also fry with non stick spray and chicken broth. That helps to reduce points during the cooking process by reducing the amount of oil or sometimes eliminating it altogether.

I think that is a great idea. The first time I did WW there was a lady who weighed in with only her bikini on.

I ate 7 points yesterday. 2 eggs, cream for my coffee (I don't do FF "cream"), 1 piece of toast and 1 t of natural peanut butter.

I can't skimp on breakfast either, I will be starving at lunch and eat way too much or I will eat some of the kids snacks and they aren't healthy. I work at a preschool and the parents bring snacks to share. Cheez it crackers are bad. . . but so yummy!

Wait a minute... YOU GUYS HAVE COMPUTERS???! How does that work?

We have computers too, I visit a corporate Weight Watchers Center.

I have been there! When I weighed in hoping to earn my 50 pound medal I missed it by .2 also. All I could say was "I should have taken off my socks, I should have taken off my socks!" My next weigh in was the Wed. after Easter and it helped me stay on track over the holiday. I earned my Medal, and I wear sandals to every weigh in since!

Hi everyone,

Congrats to everyone who just had weigh-ins!

I'm home early today and its really strange to be home and have so much of the afternoon left. I'm really looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow morning. My "sneak-peek" this morning made me pretty happy. I want my daily points to drop!

When I went to WW meetings, I always wore the same exact outfit every week - living in Florida I could get away with wearing shorts year round. Now I just do it at home - PJ top only.

I weigh in at a WW Center too but WW Canada is a little behind the times with technological progress.

Cute story!
