Hey everyone! Congrats to all on their recent loses! Every pound down is one less to go! I am dreading tomorrow's weigh in. We had company this weekend and I had some cake. I ate pretty good but definetly went over points with the cake. I just hope that I lose this week and not gain. I guess we will see tomorrow.

Oh- and for all you Jersey Girls- what could possibly be so bad about a state that produced Bon Jovi? Some people have no idea what they are talking about! Thank God for Jersey!

Good Morning all my wonderful WW friends . I hope everyone has a great week at the scale this week .

Only down .5 it's totally my fault I had an awful week but I am thankful for it still being a loss and not a gain. I am going to stick to it all week but Thursday night my friend and I are going to a cooking class (chicken scampi and 2 fondues!!) so who knows what that will do!!

You are right a loss is a loss not a gain. It all adds up . Cooking class sounds fun, that's what your 49 pts are for.

Hi everyone. So, I started WW last week. I have been well below my daily points everyday and doing my training for my 5K and I have not dropped an ounce. I am feeling very frustrated. I know I just need to stay the course and it will come but I am so very frustrated. Am I missing something?

First of all Welcome!!! Secondly, try not to get discouraged right out of the gate. Lastly, you say you are not eating all your daily points, this maybe where the problem is. Youre daily points need to be eaten, every last one of them. How many points are you getting? The minimum is 29 and 49 weekly. The weekly you do not have to eat but your daily yes. Also, if you are training for a 5k you are earning activity points and you may need to eat some of them also. If you are struggling trying to eat them all maybe you can post a typical daily menu and we can help you tweek it. Good luck.

Morning fellow WW buddies! Sounds like eveyone is doing well

Wanted to share a NSV - I went shopping yesterday and purchased a size MEDIUM dress for the first time ever! I totally didn't think it would fit, but the price was so good ($80 marked down to $16!) I had to try it on - and it fit! Had to take pics of myself and send them to my girlfriends because I couldn't tell if it looked good or not - again, still struggling with that nasty inner voice sometimes - but they liked it so I purchased it. Now, to convince my DH to take me dancing

I second sjms.... you need to eat more... by eating LESS you are sending your body into "oh no we are starving mode' and it holds on to everything...

Oh and WELCOME!!

Hi guys. Sorry I have been AWOL. I had a bad week last week. My DD was at a swim meet 2 weekends ago and I must have picked up one of the various bugs there. I was borderline nauseous all week and the only thing that seemed to settle my stomach was carbs, carbs and more carbs. In addition, I had no interest in exercising so I was a big lump all week. Plus, I ended up eating out a few times. So ... I didn't track and I skipped my meeting. I am back on track as of today and I think I will try to backtrack and enter the weekend into eTools.

Now for a Mommy Bragging Moment: We were at our State Regional Swim Meet this last weekend and my DD had personal bests in all 6 events including swimming a 50-yard freestyle in less than 30 seconds! While she did not qualify for any individual events (she's 11 and the 11-12 cuts are brutal! She was only .6 secs away on her 50 free), she secured a spot on two relay teams for the State Championship next week .

Happy (late) Monday morning, everyone! It's a long weekend in Ontario. Our wintery getaway plans got canceled because of the weather where we were going to go so I'm stuck at home but still on track, thankfully.

Congrats on the above losses! and Welcome to the new comers. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Sorry you weren't well. We all knew something was off for you. Hope you're recovered and I'm glad you're back on the bus.

Congratulations to your daughter. Good luck at the state championships next week.

We got hit with that same weather pattern. After the 50F degree weather and all our snow gone, we got 8-10 inches last night. DD16 is all bummed because she has the day off for Presidents' day on what would have been a snow day for sure. Good luck staying on track -- probably easier at home than on a getaway, eh?

Hi everyone! I joined WW online about a month ago, and it is going ok, but life sure has gotten in the way! Between a death in the family that was out of town, going to Milwaukee for a business trip, and hurting my low back, it has been kind of hard to keep on top of things both with eating and exercising, but I am hoping to get back in gear. My brother is getting married in Hawaii in July, so I have ALOT of motivation! Despite all of the setbacks, I have lost 3 pounds in 4 weeks, so it can only get better from here

Hello! Glad you found us, also I am sorry for the loss of your family member . Good job on your weight loss so far. Attending a wedding in Hawaii is a great motivator, DH and I were married in Hawaii so I know it will be a beautiful wedding. Good luck and keep us posted.

I have a question on figuring points: I bought some store brand mozzarella cheese. It's name is Light Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella and it's stats are:

Fat - 3g
Carbs - <1g
Protein - 7g
Fiber - 0g

My question is on the <1g part. If I put in 0 grams, it comes up with 1 point per cheese stick, but if I put in 1 gram, it says 2 points. So, I experimented and put in .5g (still 1 point). It actually changed to 2 points at .9 grams of carbs.

I'd love to be able to count this as only one point, but I'm just not sure what the proper thing to do is. I was thinking of counting the first one that I eat for the day as 2 points and then if I eat another one during the day just counting it as 1 point, but that seems kind of odd .

I've noticed other items having <1 gram of either fat, carbs, protein or fiber, so I figured this is something that I'm going to run into at times.

Thanks for any advice!

Well, I'm not sure. We were going to visit my aunt and uncle who live about 2 1/2 hours from us. Their property is at the top of a hill. We were going to bring our crazy carpet and sled and spend the weekend enjoying their mountains of snow. They actually eat pretty healthy so other then the date squares and the cheese cake that my aunt made, I likely would have been able to stay on track. Plus all the exercise that I would get walking back up the hill would have helped as well.

Sorry you had to miss it Jess.
