I do not think you are doing anything wrong. I am allowed 29 points daily..some days I get to 26...its typically the days I seem to eat more fruits/veggies that are zero points. If you want to make sure you are getting in enough calories go to dailyplate and calculate the calories you may not be eating enough. I use my body bugg program at the end of my weight watcher day and calculate the calories I have eaten typically 29 points get me to about 1400 calories a day.

thanks for the input! I will try dailyplate. I get nervous b/c at my meeting they stressed using all of your points, but I don't want to just eat when I'm not hungry to get them in..

I earned 9 activity points today, and I am now using them as I earn them. So - I bought a bag of Cheetos Puffs today, and I ate 1 oz. (13 of them = 4 pts.) as soon as I got home from the store!

The person who runs my meeting says it's ok to leave points on the table at the end of the day, as long as you feel satisfied. She said if you are hungry and still have points left then you need to eat them, but if you aren't hungry not to worry about it.

Hello again,

We were going to join our local meeting tomorrow night. However, we may sign up online instead. If we do join online, how can we buy a points calculator & book? Please help with our confusion!!

Thanks!

I officially hate my husband. He went to his first WW meeting today and he has 16 more daily points to eat than I do .

The good news is that he seems to be on board with it. He just tracked all his food today and was pretty shocked at how many points he ate. I think he'll keep me more honest, LOL!

You should probably stop by the meeting anyway so you can learn the program from a leader. You may have to pay $12 for one meeting to get the book and materials, but all the information should be online. The calculator is extra.

If you have an iPhone or Blackberry or Android there is a WW app that acts as a calculator. If you have a smart phone with internet access you might still be able to access the non-flash eTools, but I have not seen them around since the last website redesign.

I have a "Monthly Pass" which includes meetings and the online eTools. I couldn't do WW without either one of them myself. I have an iPhone and can look up foods just about anywhere.

I'm pretty sure there is a way to order books and other items if you join as online only. If there is a WW center close to you (not just a location where they hold meetings) there are hours when they are open and you can drop in and buy what you need.

I bought the monthly pass, it is really a great deal right now - $39ish and it gets you unlimited meetings and online access. I figure I need the extra support and accountability of weighing in for a while. I've decided to do the monthly pass at least 2 months so I can learn the program and get going, then reevaluate.

I think we have some weigh ins today. Can't wait to hear some results. Good luck .

Just back from my WI. I was up 0.2 pounds. It's explainable, so I'm good. I'm determined to have a good week going forward and am hopeful to report a loss next week.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

I must be doing something right. I bought groceries on Sunday after my long absence and my DH put it away after I brought it home. He went to his first meeting last night and said that during the discussion he felt like he was "cheating". When I asked him to elaborate he said they were discussing the types of things you should buy to stick your fridge and it was all the same stuff I bought on Sunday and that he put away for me .

My Hubby gets 20 more points a day than I do!!! He also seems to be on board. He had SUbway for lunch yesterday after teasing me for monthes about my Subway addiction.

Sandi .02 is nothing, great attitude!!

Way to press forward , I'm sure you'll see a loss next week!

I've had a terrible cold the last few days. I've been sneezing like crazy and my head is so congested. I've been working out but not with the same gusto so, we will see how that all works out for me at tomorrows weigh in..

 

[OhdahLolly]

My WI was today....


I gained a pound.


I am not too worried about it though. I went on a different scale than normal, and I went right after my run. I drank a metric ton of water, so maybe that has something to do with it? Either way, I am refocusing and making sure to take care of my filling foods this week and journaling everything.

That one pound may have crept on me, but I am taking him and at least 3 of his friends out. His time is short lived. Muwhahaha.

Too funny!

That is a great attitude to have! I'm going to keep this in mind for my WI days. Thank you!

Today was a weird day for me. I had a coffee date with some girlfriends and while I didn't make the worst choice, I could have done better. I did go over my daily points today, but I still have plenty of weeklies, so it's not bad. I also didn't feel good after what I ate so I ended up just eating a banana and carrots for lunch - food just sounded awful. I had a normal dinner. Not the best balance in my meals overall.

I am going to workout on the Wii tonight - get a run in and some of the fun exercises too. I gotta look into getting Zumba for it, that sounds fun!

 

[Sandi]

Hey Stephanie, How is the Zumba coming? My class starts up again next Tuesday. I can't wait.

I always wondered how you spell "Muwhahaha." Love it!

I'm sure the water had something to do with your gain. I wouldn't worry about it. I always stop drinking water 2 hours before my WI -- it's kind of stupid, but I like having a ritual.

Hey, I'm at 3,000 posts!

WI last night. Down .2. Was hoping for more, but oh well, a stick of butter off my hips right?

 

[mrzrich]

I have to give some praise to a product. I found a 2 point roll that I have replaced my now 3 point sandwich thins and Bagel thins with:

Martins Potato Roll in the package on 12 sliced rolls. They a slightly (only slightly) smaller than an average hamburger bun, but fluffy (read not flat) like a real roll. (well, it is a real roll) This is a product that is NOT billed as a diet product, that I have found that works well in the plan.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Congrats on the .2! It is down, so that's GOOD!

I would have neverrrrrrr looked at those delicious potato rolls with the thought that they had to be high because they aren't wheat or flat! So THANK YOU!

I found out last night the Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls are also only 2 points each.

 

[sjms71]

Well today the Magic 8 Ball said "outlook not so good"! Oh, wait that wasn't the M8B that was at my weigh in......up .2. Not too bad however, next week is going to be my week for a loss!!!!

I like the Wii zumba a lot. Haven't ventured to a harder level yet, may do that this weekend. I'm sure the classes are much more fun.

You got it !
