Are you at home when you want a popcorn snack? You can either buy a microwave popper or just put 2 T of unpopped popcorn in a paper lunch bag and microwave it for about 2 minutes. Plain popcorn will be fewer points than anything in a prepackaged bag.
HI! I've been doing WW since April and have lost 50 pounds so far..I have hit a wall (mostly my own doing as I need a motivator) but starting to feel inspired again
The new WW's is a bit challenging, but I do like that most fruit and veggies are free.
My favorite snacks are the freeze dried fruit from http://www.brothersallnatural.com/
And if my calculations are correct they are FREE POINTS right???
You can buy them online (sign up for the emails and you get a discount) or at Costco.
I have tried the:apples, pears, strawberries&bananas, mixed berries, cinnamon apple and peaches.
I also tried their potato crisps..CAN"T recommend them as it was like eating a dehydrated potato that then swelled in your mouth and had no flavor
but the fruit is DELICIOUS
I also had challenging weekend. My DD's long time swim coach, Lynn, died in a car accident on Friday on the way to a swim meet in Lacrosse, WI. She was only 59. She was such a part of my life and my DD's life ... what a senseless loss. She was great with the kids and knew how to explain things so the kids "got" it. I loved it earlier this season when my DD's regular coach was coaching one of the local girls HS teams and Head Coach Lynn stepped in to coach them for almost 3 months. She honed my DD's skills and C took lots of time off her events even after a pretty successful summer.
Today will be the first day back at practice without her there ... it will be very, very hard for all of us. I don't think it will really hit the kids until they are at the pool and Lynn is not there. Heck, I don't think it will really hit the adults either. In addition, we have a home swim meet this coming weekend that still needs to go on and I will have to sit at her desk and use her computer to make last minutes changes.

. I really hope that changes for me by Thursday. Hope everyone else is staying warm and doing well.
It is quiet here today isn't it. I've been out all morning. We're expecting 10 - 15 cm of snow between now and tomorrow morning so I did my grocery shopping today instead of Wednesday. I also had a mammogram this morning and I can STILL feel the pain!
Sorry to hear you're up, Steph. I know you've been struggling with staying on program lately.
brookelizabeth -- those chicken fajita burritos sound very good. Mind sharing how you make them??
(Not new to WW, though - been on and off for too many years.)
Hi - kind of new to this board
I had my third weigh-in today - down 4 pounds for a total of 7.
Pretty sure my success this week was due to tracking. I wrote down 100% of what went in my mouth. I purchased a three month tracker at my meeting - and have made the committment to myself to track accurately every single day.
I still have a loooong way to go - but I'm very happy with the progress so far.

. Keep up the great work!!Hey Laura, welcome to the board!! As they say in WW track only the days you want to lose
Also today was my 1st day back to exercise since I got sick. It was nearly 2 weeks since I stepped foot on the treadmill and I was extremely nervous today to see how far I set myself back since I do interval training. I'm happy to report I did better then I thought! I ended up running 20 of the 35 minutes. Not bad for being out of commission so long.
hehe
