Anyone else track their food on the online tools? I swear WW is messing with me. Ok, so yesterday I made chicken breast. Now I had boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast. It was a bigger piece so it weighed in at about 124g. The serving size on the online tools was 85g. and 6pts. I put in 1.5 servings and it came up 9pts. . I did this two times to make sure I picked the right thing. So, needless to say that took care of any points I thought I would have left over for a snack. Ok, so today I had chicken breast for dinner again(I know boring but it's been too cold to go to the store). I made sure to pick a smaller piece. Went to go enter my 75g piece and they changed it, instead of 6pts per 85g serving it's 3pts (more like it). But I knew I wasn't crazy (no comments from the peanut gallery ) so I went into yesterday's stuff clicked on my same chicken breast that says 1.5 servings 9 pt. However, when I clicked on it this time in the edit box it said 5pts? Anyone else noticing any "bugs" in the system?

Yes, I've noticed weird things like that, too. I do all of my tracking on-line. I hope they get the bugs worked out soon. You aren't going crazy.

Thank you! Although some in my household would argue the crazy part . I kept saying yesterday that chicken couldn't be 9pts!!!

 

[cepmom]

yeah, there's definitely some bugs going on with the etools...I had a member complain that 2 T of cranberry sauce came out to something like 14 pts! Yikes! Hopefully they'll have it worked out soon.

This Thursday is my first weigh in and the past week I have been doing great...Until tonight! I was so hungry tonight! I ate dinner at around 5, then around 930 I found myself lurking in the fridge! I ended up eating an orange, a banana and 2 small frozen waffles with the tiniest bit of peanut butter..I had 2 regular points left for the day before the hunger kicked in so I used the 2 remaining and 4 weekly allowance..It was my first time using any of the extra points I had plus I have like 6 activity points this week that I didn't use..My main reason for posting is I feel so guilty for going over my regular daily points!!!

Your 49 weekly points are there to be used. Don't feel guilty about using them. I sometimes lose better when I used some or ALL of my weekly points than I do when I don't. WW knows that we all have days when we are just hungry, sometimes its stress, sometimes its hormones, sometimes we made a poor choice earilier in the day that didn't fill us up. This is why the weekly points are there.

I noticed the other day that a serving size of something was 4oz and in the parenthesis it said (28gr) 28 grams is not 4oz, its 1 oz, so there are major glitches.

I think there are a few of us with Wednesday weigh ins. I went to my meeting at noon and was down 1.2 pounds. I love the new program. The best thing for me is having fruit with no points. Now I don't look at an apple and think, oh I better not eat that because I want that point for something else. Now, I get to eat the apple and then, oftentimes, I don't even want the something else because the apple satisfied me.

Can't wait to hear from all the other WWWWI's (Weight Watcher Wednesday Weigh Ins). Hope everyone is having a good week.

I'm down 1.2 also!! A good feeling since over the past 2 WI's I had gained almost a whole pound...

What I do is weigh my food and then online I don't use the per serving but the per grams option in the drop down. It seems to be a little more realistic. And since I lost this week I'm going to claim that it works!
Good luck!

I never even noticed that one.

Another 1.2 good job. Maybe the 1.2 will rub off on me this week.

I have been busy trying to get my Christmas cards made and sent out. I also been baking cookies. Haven't eaten any.....yet however, those BLT's are hard. I'd lick my fingers without even thinking about it. So, I hope I will be able to go to my WW meeting tomorrow. They are calling for snow and ice tomorrow morning and well, NC is a joke when it comes to bad weather. Even the smallest amount of snow cause the state to come to a screeching halt.

Ooo, forgot, have any of you heard of Better n peanut butter. I found it at Target. It is 2pts per serving and it is very yummy. Some days I have a tough time reaching 29pts so I take my chocolate vitatop heat it up, spread a serving of the peanut butter on and a little lite whip cream. It is the best 5 pt snack. Or I have 2pts worth with an apple.

Hey Jessie, where are you girl? I know it's a busy time of year but just wanted to say hi and check in with ya .

Hey Jessie, where are you girl? I know it's a busy time of year but just wanted to say hi and check in with ya .

I'm here! I've been lurking most of the week. I've even been neglecting the Webkinz!

I went to my meeting yesterday. I sailed through the weekend without any obstacles and had 30 WP's left on Monday morning! Yaahhh! ...or so I thought. Things went downhill from there. I ate 20 of the extra points on Monday and then about 40 extra points on Tuesday. Since 20 + 40 equals a lot more than 30, I was down just .2 I suppose it could have been worse but I should be happy that it was a loss and not a gain. Was back on track all day yesterday and so far today. However, it's only 9:26 am! I'm having a smoothie for breakfast and its making me cold. I think I might have to bake something to warm me up.

Congratulations on all of your losses this week!
Welcome to our new member!

Mrzirch: Sorry about your gain but I'm sure you enjoyed every bite! At the rate you've been going lately, you'll have that off in no time! Can I ask what mrzrich means??

Shelby: Keep trying to reach your daily points target and include your healthy guidelines foods. Cepmom has given you some great advice.

Good luck to the rest of you with weigh in's this week!

Thanks for the welcome. What are some of the foods that get you through the week? Progresso Vegetable Beef Soup, Weight Watchers string cheese & Sugarfree Rasberry Jello were my comfort foods during a cold, cold week.

How did your first meeting go? I love your exercise program. The other day I was walking around my neighborhood, thinking of how nice it would be to walk around World Showcase early in the morning before it opens. Wouldn't that be lovely?

Can't wait to get back to my DWD walks. It's been so cold & windy down here. I was over at Downtown Disney the other night and had to buy another sweatshirt & a scarf just to keep warm.

Meeting - Good
Weigh IN - OMG!!! How did I gain so much weight?

For some reason, I just can't seem to end my day without a bowl of yogurt and cool whip!
