Congrats to the losers!!! I hope that continues. My WI isn't until Friday, but I've been UP (0.2 or 0.4) this week. I need to get in some exercise tonight--going to do it right after I post this.

For the chicken fajita burritos we made it was pretty basic:

chicken with taco seasoning (I did 4 pts worth)
grill some onion and green peppers in a touch of oil
wrap it all up in a low point tortilla
place in a baking dish - I covered mine with FF salsa, DH did his in cheese and he also put some rice in the burrito. Bake for maybe 10-15 minutes on 350 until cheese was melted.
Enjoy!

They were very yummy!

We used the Mission Low Carb tortillas mackeysmom mentioned, but we must have had bigger once because ours were 4 points. I gotta look for the smaller ones, thanks for the tip!

Tonight I still have 5 points left - I'm not hungry and not sure how I'm going to spend it. I might indulge a bit and share some cheesecake with DH. We will see!

NOW-GOING TO EXERCISE!!!!!!!!! (then eat cheesecake! )

Hi all, After 2 weeks of little gains, I had a nice loss today: 2.2 pounds! After last week, I told myself to track, drink water, get exercise, and do the program. Amazingly, that worked. I'm now 5.4# from my goal. It's really within sight.

Looking forward to hearing from the rest of the Wednesday weighers.

Just home from WI. Down 2.8!

Nice work both of you! Congratulations.

Thanks for posting your recipe and go easy on the cheesecake!


I didn't do my weigh in today. I had to take DS in for his annual physical. I didn't tell him until we were in the exam room that he was getting a flu shot. I told him afterwards that I was happy with how he behaved while she was giving it to him and he said, "Well, I'm 9 now!"

Good luck to everyone else this week! Hope you're down Stephanie.

That is very cute about your son . This morning I was still up so, we will see what tomorrow brings. Having a loss isn't looking so good for me yet again this week. .

Your welcome!

I just spent an hour on the WiiFit! I found a new favorite game, Rhythm Boxing. I'm just awful at it, but it's fun!

I'm not craving cheesecake anymore - I hate to eat that right before bed too - I don't know what I want. I gotta eat something...I have all my good healthy guidelines in too. Hmmm...

Good for you on both the exercise and saying no to the cheesecake. Don't you just feel superior now?!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I do! I feel AWESOME. I took a nice hot shower and am enjoying 1 cup of skim milk with 1 cup of Multi-Grain Cheerios with some blueberries thrown in on top. 5 points exactly (what I had leftover for the day), and MUCH healthier than cheesecake!

Happy Thursday! Good luck with your weigh-ins today.

I'm just wondering what everyone's having for breakfast this morning. One of the things that I really like about the PP+ program is that I've gotten more creative with breakfast. My bowl of cereal went from 4 points to 6 points and that prompted me to find what else I could do for six points that would be more filling then a bowl of bran flakes. Now, I'm eating up to 10 points for breakfast and I'm finding that I can usually last until 1ish to have lunch with a piece of fruit in between the two meals.

Today, I had a homemade banana blueberry muffin, a fried egg, milk, yogurt and fruit for 9 points.

So I'm just wondering how you did the first step. Did you use chicken breast, ground chicken or something else. I assume you cooked it first but what did you use and what did you do with the taco seasoning?

 

[sjms71]

Hey all, just back from weigh in and I'm down .2 of course that is the .2 I was up last week. So, it's a new week and I'm committed to sticking with the program!! Hope everyone else is doing well and other Thursday weigh ins are good.

Good for you. Stop making excuses. You've said it yourself, Stephanie -- A loss is a loss!

Do your best this week. We'll all be here for you if and when you need us.

Hi gys, I am new to this thread. I joined WW last Thursday. I am excited to see a ww thread on one of my favorite websites. I am doing WW online, I am a stay at home,homeschooling mom of 2. I gained my weight when I got pregnant with my second child and have been trying to lose it for 4 years now. After the birth of my first child I went back to work and the weight fell off, after my second child I became a SAHM and I have not been able to get the weight off. I am excited to finally find something that works! I lost .6 my first 'week" and am off to a good start this week. I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Hi there!

We have a lot in common. I joined WW online about a week and half ago (but actually started the program this week) and really like it! We homeschool as well, and I'm trying to lose pregnancy weight from the baby who is now a toddler. Good luck!!

I was all set last night to make my weekly tacos. I got home (all tired and cranky) and realized I was out of vegetarian refried beans . So I grabbed a frozen pizza and tossed it in the oven. It burned. So at 8:00 pm I ordered take-out pizza. One 10" for my DD and one 10" for me. My small victory was that I ordered a salad too and ate that FIRST and I have half my pizza left in the fridge.

Hi and welcome to both of you! I think it has to take amazing people to be able to home school their children. I have a friend with baby #6 on the way and she home schooles. Congratulations on joining Weight Watchers and the best of luck in your journeys.

I'd say that was a great victory!

I have miised a few days on how everyone is doing. Had a tough week at work as I was called in Sunday night to take over the midnight deliveries for a few days while the regular guy recovered from a fall. In that time span my daughter went into labor and our beautiful grandson, Caleb, was born. So 48 hours of no sleep. Then I attempted to get some rest alone in the house while I could but dog wanted attention, bathroom breaks, etc.

Good news is I maintained my P90X workouts (less the Yoga workout), but my eating was minimum so my weight loss should be down too much tonight at weigh-in. What a problem to have, huh?

Hey, I homeschool too and am thinking about joining WW. I wish I could say it was baby weight, but since my youngest is 9, I guess that's not the case.

I am wondering if anyone can tell me how the Points Plus is diifferent from the Points system. If I do join it will be online as I have tried the meetings before that are nearby,, there is only one leader and I really didn't care for her.

We could start the homeschoolers on WW mini-thread!

I don't know too much about the differences, but many foods are higher than before and everyone gets a minimum of 29 points daily plus 49 weekly points extra (this is what it calculated for my allowance too). The new points are supposed to take into account the energy your body uses to process the food you've eaten. Most fruits and vegetables are 0 points. All in all, it seems to be working for me. I like tracking everything I eat on-line.

Have you joined the WISH challenge thread? It's never too late and I like the weekly weigh in that we have to send in---kind of like the meetings would be for some people I guess.

Age 9 qualifies for baby fat in my book! As long as they haven't graduated college yet.....Actually, one of my motivations is my dd graduating from college this spring. I hope to lose at least 20 lbs by then and not be the "fat mom" in the photos.

Good luck on your journey!

My bowl of cereal went from 4 points to 6 points and that prompted me to find what else I could do for six points that would be more filling then a bowl of bran flakes. Now, I'm eating up to 10 points for breakfast and I'm finding that I can usually last until 1ish to have lunch with a piece of fruit in between the two meals.

Today, I had a homemade banana blueberry muffin, a fried egg, milk, yogurt and fruit for 9 points.

My filling breakfast has been an English Muffin (3 points) topped with 3 ounces of Boar's Head Deluxe Ham (about six slices - 2 points) and 1 ounce of Boar's Head RF American Cheese (about two slices - 2 points) melted on top. I have an apple with it for a grand total of 7 points.

Very filling - keeps me going until lunch.

Boar's Head has all of their nutritional information on their website - and I find you get a lot more "bang for your buck" points-wise when you use BH instead of any other brand.

Congratulations on your new grandson. Just think, you have probably recently lost as much as Caleb weighs. Now, when you carry him around, you'll have a good idea of what progress you're making. Always more fun to carry around a baby than a bag of sugar.

My go to breakfast during the week is a container of Dannon Light and Fit yogurt with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dry oatmeal mixed in and a piece of fruit. It's a 4 point breakfast. I'm never hungry when I get up (must be all the night time munching), so I don't eat until I've put in an hour or so at the office. I've put my week's worth of yogurt in the fridge and have a stash of bags of oatmeal measured out. I might do a bigger pointsplus breakfast on the weekend though.

You are right I need to take my own advise. Thanks for reminding me .
