No weigh in this week, since school's out for February Break.
I'm hoping to hit 10 pounds at next week's weigh in-- that would mean a total of 3.2 pounds in a two week period. That magic number is keeping me from reaching for junk while I'm home this week. Whether or not I hit my goal, it's a great incentive.
I had an interesting chat with my sister, who recently hit her goal weight on WW. She gave me recipe after recipe for "Zero Point this" and "Zero point that."
My approach is very different. I want to learn to eat appropriately, not to switch from "bad" all day grazing to "good" all day grazing. So I'm not going crazy on the zero point stuff. I am eating more fruit and veggies, since I figure they're part of a healthy diet, so I'm thrilled that they're zero points. But I'm eating normal foods, with lower point options. So, for example, I just finished breakfast: 2 Eggo nutrigrain low fat waffles (4 pts) with sugar substitute mixed with cinnamon instead of syrup. (I did hit it with a spritz of Pam to help the topping stick) I'll have a tangerine when I go upstairs.Tomorrow I may make french toast, using the 45 calorie Pepperidge Farm wheat bread (4 pts for 3 slices; I'll have 2) with an egg and nonfat milk and the same cinnamon topping.
I'm not criticizing-- her approach obviously works for her. But I'm more interested in adapting what I would normally eat to fit within the WW framework than in finding ways to still graze all day.
Hi Everyone, I just joined WW with my hubby on Saturday.. We are def having a learning week. Hubs coffee is 15 points and he drinks two before leaving the house and then one in the evening so that is his 45 daily points . we have found the sugar free syrup in vanilla and fat free creamer and we count that as 1 then his 1 TB of sugar is 3. so that is now 12.. Our menu for the week was already made and shopped for so we are over our points and I am almost out of my weeklies (he was out on day 1
) but we are trying and I count that as a win. next week will be more heavy on the Chicken and Turkey (both boneless skinless and groud) as I 've not planned anything yet.
we have a trip planned with family in Sept and I will not be the fat aunt in the pics. I am a butter lover so I need to figure out how to work it in.
Hope everyone has a great day .. Michelle
Any thoughts?
