Hi and happy almost friday to everyone else!!

Hi, can I join in this chat? I just started the new program last night and am loving the idea that fruits are free. Those special K chips look yummy. I love sweets and desserts though, that is my downfall. Anyone have any low points desserts? I have a lot to lose but am on my way. I think supporting each other online is such a great idea.

I just did my WI, I was down 4.6 pounds!

One low point dessert I have read about a bit is the sugar free Jell-O pudding, plus you can add things to the pudding as well. One gal on a WW board I visited said she adds pumpkin and cinnamon to the vanilla pudding and it's delicious. Rice Krispy bars are pretty low as well I believe. I love to make a Root Beer Float with diet root beer and frozen yogurt or low-fat ice cream. I'm sure others will have some great ideas too!

Congratulations on your WI. 4.6 is amazing. Good work.

For desserts, I like sugar free jello with some kind of fruit in it topped with lite cool whip. It takes care of my sweet tooth. If only they made chocolate jello . . .

I started WW on January 1, and today I am down 5 pounds...in spite of my Cheetos consumption!

Congratulations to all the losers!

As expected, no celebratory latte for me . I was up by 3.4 lbs. I'm not too upset about it since it's been nearly a month since my last official WI and I went to WDW, DL and the Rose Bowl in that time. In fact, my gain is less than half of what it was in August so that, in and of itself, is a victory of sorts.

My goal is to lose that vacation weight by the end of the month. Unfortunately, most of the water gain is already gone since I came home on Sunday so this is real weight I need to remove.

Hi. Another newbie here. Just joined WW last Monday. I know the fruits and veggies (starchless veggies) are free but is there some kind of limit to them. I feel so quilty eating them and not counting points. They still have carbs. I just dont want to show up and gain my first week because I ate a ton of fruit.

Welcome! My leader addressed this very thing today. She said to eat fruit until you are satisfied NOT stuffed. She also recommended adding in some protein along with the fruit (like a few nuts or light string cheese) in case the natural sugars in the fruit turn out to be a trigger for you to eat more. The combination of the fruit and the protein will satisfy you sooner and keep you full longer.

Thanks Robin. I'll try that. I dont even think I'm hungry. I think I'm eating out of habit.

hey guys
weighed in this morning and overall I am up still from my last official WI on 12/3. However, I am down 3 lbs from last Friday when I weighed myself at home! I tracked everything all week and did not use all of my weeklies (I did use 38 of them though) and worked out 6 days.

My goal for this week is to maintain; we are supposed to leave for Vegas on Sunday (if the weather doesn't cancel our flight) I've never been able to go away and maintain, but there's a first time for everything!

Great attitude Robin, you'll get it off in no time!

Hello and welcome, the too much fruit/veggies has been a battle at my meeting the last several weeks. Robin has some great advise about the fruit. Although, "maybe" there is such a thing as too much fruit and veggies, like I said at my meeting as everyone was debating this......I'm sure none of us are here because we got this way from eating too many fruits and veggies . Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Way to go!! You're moving in the right direction. Have fun in Vegas, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you don't have any weather issues.

About the fruit and veggie thing, there was a note in this week's weekly that said it is important to track the fruits and veggies even though they have no points so that you can look back and see what you've been doing should you have trouble at any point. I was kind of neglecting to track some of my fruits, so I'm making a real effort to write it all down.

I also noticed that in one of the tracking examples in the weekly that the person had written in Diet Coke and concluded she drank too much diet coke. Do most of you track your drinks? I never do because I mostly drink water and I have two Coke Zeroes and a green tea each day (I don't do coffee). I'm curious if tracking drinks that have no points (as opposed to milk and juice) is common and whether it's helpful to the weight loss goal. Thoughts?

 

[brookelizabeth]

I have never tracked my afternoon Coke Zero either. I only have 1 (and maybe once a month I'll have 2) a day. I don't track my coffee either because it's 0 points, but I do drink 3 cups--each with just enough skim milk to keep it 0.

I do track my fruit and veggies though. I just don't even think about drinks I know are 0 because they aren't FOOD. I really should be tracking them though--like you said, it's always good to have that history.

I track all fruits and veggies in the online tracker. I drink water, I rarely drink diet soda, but on the occasion I do drink it I don't track it either.

I dont very often drink anything other then milk and water but I only track my milk because it has points.

I do track my veggies but not my fruit (not sure why not ). I started tracking it just to see how much fruit I was eating but it only lasted for a few days.

I had my annual physical yesterday and I'm down 5 1/2 lbs from this time last year.

I've been really busy with work this week and last and haven't been taking time to post but it seems that everyday we have a few new members! It's wonderful to have you all here. Welcome to Weight Watchers and look forward to reading about your successes.

Feeling better, Steph??

I did something brave today. Not sure if I ever told you guys, but I am a nurse.

This year for Christmas I had no holiday scrubs to wear. My old ones were just too big and I didn't want to spend money on "in between" sized scrubs that would only be worn a few times.

One of the CNAs that works out of my office is retiring next month. Today she came in with all her Christmas scrubs. She won't need to wear them ever again. This lady is a size medium...I am currently an XL.

I thought about it and realized that by next Christmas I WILL BE A MEDIUM (or maybe even a small!) took a few of her shirts, because I just know I will need them next year!
