weight watchers vent...

[ziggystardust]

i love WW. Really I do but I'm frustrated today. I get 21 points a day - yeah its 4.14 pm and i only have 2.5 points left for the day (I know I get the extra weekly points but I like to save those for the weekend). And I felt like I ate so healthy today - even had a salad and I hate salads. arghhhh

thanks for listening to me vent

I only get 18
Try adding more 0 point stuff like veggies and sugar-free Jell-O, it helps in a pinch.

Oh wow - I don't think I could handle 18.

yea i have been there -- feel your pain but if you need to use a couple of your FP go ahead and do so, that is what they are for. i do the same thing, save them for a splurge meal on the weekends too but sometimes you just gotta

a low pt meal I use sometime is egg beaters cooked like scrambled eggs -- 1/2 cup for 2 pts (double check that is off my memory) and I add lots of veggies like an omelet

I feel your pain as I ate most of my flex points for mother's day and my cinco de mayo party on Friday. I am also approaching TOM and have been hungry all week. Zero point and 1 point foods are what I am relying on. Tonight I had a 1 pt salad, hard boiled egg whites, a pickle and lots of veggies. Some days there seems like there is no satisfying no matter what I do. Will be glad to start a new week on Friday.

Hang in there.

I think any of us that are on or have been on WW know what you are going through. Like has been said there are many 1 or 2 point options out there. But, this is why you have the extra points, they are for a day like this. Some days I am just always hungry, but I also have a lot of options. Apples, 1 point cakes, 3 point cereal, all these help get me through.

I have been at goal for about 4 months now and it is easier. Just hang in there. You can also go out and run for an hour, don't you get like 4 points for that? OK, so maybe a bowl of cereal is not worth an hour running, but that's an option

Hang in there, it gets better.

With the newest way they calculate My points are 21 and would be 20 once my next birthday hits. However, I got to goal on 22 points a day and I will never lose weight with lower. I had 22 when I was on the last flex plan (before the newest book came out) and when I went under 150 lbs I refused to go to 20 points. Maybe I lost a little slower, but I still lost between 1-2 pounds most weeks with occasional .6, .8 or .4's. Once in a while I would even have 3 pound loses.

I'd just rather eat a little more each week and lose slower.

Hang in there, some days are worse than others. That is why I try to use my flexpoints throughout the week so I don't feel so deprived.

And don't forget, if you have the time and inclination, you can do some kind of exercise and get points to use for you day that way.
