No, the Fiber One Brownies are easily twice the size of the lemon bars - a good point's value in my opinion .

I am going to look for them!

The past 2 days I have been starving!! Not sure why but I can't seem to get stastfied. I been drinking my water and eating same as always but I feel like a bottomless pit!! I have been going into my weeklies a tiny bit but man I'm hungry!!

 

[NC State]

Try more carrots, apples, you know more of the zero point items. When the hungry pains start I go and do something like walking, don't set and watch TV. Those food commericals are killers!

I do the same. I walked about four miles this weekend, which is far for me. (It was finally sunny here!) I also take a hot bath or play a brain game like Sudoku or a crossword to keep my mind on something other than eating.

I have a cross-stich I started about 10 years ago and never finished. Maybe now that I'm on WW and need something to keep me occupied, it is a good time to pull that out again...and finish it...finally!

Hey Tammy, I'm looking forward to meeting you in person at the PHM next February. We'll have a mutual admiration club at the very least!

That sounds like a plan - we have 11 months to motivate each other through our training! I can't wait!

Hey all, hope everyone is doing good. Today I officially have a teenager . Yes, Sarah officially turned 13. We had a wonderful lunch at Le Cellier and evey server in the restaurant signed a birthday card for her writing a personal note, which I thought was wonderful. Today is the last day on the dining plan and the next few days we have left I will be winging it food wise. Still feeling a little off but nothing terrible. Hope everyone has a losing week. I am so proud of all of you who are training.

Hey Stephanie, I'm heading over tomorrow, wondering how crowded it is?

Had a good day yesterday until DH said "I'm craving FRIED CHICKEN". Publix happens to have fried chicken on sale this week. I had the points for one serving. I did great at supper time. Its just that the left overs called out to me at 10 PM.

We head out this afternoon to Disney World!!! Woohoo! I'll miss my next 2 weigh ins and am a little nervous about how I'm going to do while we are there. We are bringing some healthy snacks and I know I'll be more active there than I usually am at home (other than my daily workout), I might hit the gym at our hotel a time or 2 in the morning if I can sneak out while my DH and kiddos are still asleep. I'm just hoping that I won't gain while I am there. I don't mind if I just maintain, but I'd hate to come home too many pounds over what I left here weighing. Yikes! This is my first real time away from home and the comfort of my well planned choices since I started WW, so I'll admit it's a little scary.

Enjoy your trip and I wish you good luck on making healthy choices while in WDW! I don't think it would be possible for me to avoid all the bad food that I love to eat while there lol.

WI this morning...down another 1.8lbs! I was worried that I was going to either gain weight or not lose this week since DBF and I went to dinner on Friday and I ate fried food and drank a fruity sugarlicious adult beverage (but kept it within my WP!), so I was surprised with how much I lost considering I was expecting to gain or not lose at all

I hate to say it but it's been pretty darn crowded. Last week all of Louisiana was here. Parks are open pretty late though. The days we got to the parks at rope drop we got a lot done.

Hi Stephanie,

Glad to see you checking in - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your DD - what a neat way to celebrate her birthday. My DD will be 13 in May! Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Good Morning WW Friends,

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for a WONDERFUL Monday!! I had trouble getting up this morning, it was so dark and all I wanted to do was sleep.

To those heading to WDW - have a great trip - take it one meal at a time and try to make healthy choices with the occassional treat thrown in - I'm sure you will do well!

I'm having a "Eeyore" type of morning - the "oh poor me" has set it and I'm trying really hard to get over it, but its pulling me down. The scale was up this morning and I am SOOOO frustrated, but I will keep going. 2 pounds overnight - I didn't go over my weekly points or my activity points and it still goes up - anytime I try to eat those points, it goes up, I honestly don't understand it. Oh well, I'll eat my 29 points today and that's it, maybe it will come down tomorrow!

Congratulations on your loss. That's great -- I know you were worried about your night out. Clearly you worked the plan as it was intended -- you know, the whole "real life" thing -- and it worked.

I think you and I need to hide the darn scale. Hasn't Jessie done that for the week? How can a scale be so irresistable?! I hate it and I love it. This morning, I didn't love it.

Hey Stephanie, Happy Birthday to Sarah. Teenagers are terrific people.

 

[shinysparklybubbles]

Down 2.5! For a total of 15.5 since Jan 8! I still have about 50 lbs to go but every day is a day closer to being healthy and a day farther away from being big!

I need to get a belt, my pants are falling down!

Hey Stephanie, Happy Birthday to Sarah. Teenagers are terrific people.

Thanks Tammy and Sandi for the birthday wishes for Sarah!!

Tammy: Sorry to hear that you are having a down day. Isn't it crazy how the scale can determine our moods. It happens to me too. We usually go out to eat at least one day on the weekends and even though I stay within my points I am always up the next day, very frustrating. However, stay positive you are doing great!!

WooHoo , don't ya just love it when your pants fall down! Congrats on the 2.5 and 15.5 so far.

So, we checked out of POR today and into Caribbean Beach. The kids are loving the pool here. We have been in March before and I have NEVER seen so many people here this time of year . I know it's spring break but there are so many groups of kids: band groups, cheerleaders, LAX teams, choir groups my goodness. We are having a good time but starting to miss my bed. I will be wanting to hide the scale when I get home, ugh, I have not been my best . I will be better this week though. Ok, hope everyone has a good week.

We *love* POR...hope your family enjoyed it too. (We've never stayed at CB.) I went to WDW with my sister and her family a few years ago the first week of April, and I'll NEVER go that time of year AGAIN!

You know what...you're on vacation. I bet you're making the best choices you, but don't beat yourself up next week for enjoying time away with your family in the most magical place on earth! So, maybe you don't weigh in next week. Get back on the plan, hit it hard, and weigh in after a week back home.

Though, I admit, I'd have trouble taking my own advice and not getting on the scales when I got home...just out of curiosity.

Enjoy the rest of your vacation!!

I have my weigh-in tomorrow morning - hoping to see a nice number on the scale. I've been losing slowly - down .6 over the past two weeks.

This week I did things a little differently - I changed the foods I've been eating - introduced some new meals into "the rotation". I also made a point to try to meet all of the "good health guidelines" each day. Still struggling a little with the dairy - but getting better.

I'm hoping all of these little changes add up to a nice loss .

Meeting a friend for lunch at Panera tomorrow - spent the last few minutes on their website (great nutritional information on their site), and have narrowed my choices down to three. All three are 12 points or less.

I decided to point out my normal pre-Weight Watchers Panera lunch and came up with 27 PointsPlus . No wonder I'm fat .

I'll check in after my weigh-in. Good luck to all of the other Tuesday weighers.
