Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

Hi Ladies,
How is everyone today? Hope all is good. You are all inspiring me. I wanted to join yesterday after work, but I had some future mother in law drama so today after work I will try to get to WW again lol. Hopefully she isn't upset anymore lol.

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

It's the same with me Teri. WW is not just a diet, its a lifestyle.

I've changed some of my eating habits without even realizing it! First of all, even when I go out and dont bother counting my points, I just naturally eat less without even thinking about it. I also make small choices that are healither ones.

Because WW allows you to basically eat 'whatever you want' its not your typical diet.

I have to admit...Im 6lbs away from goal and already worried about maintaining! The last time I got down to a nice low weight (in HS!!) I ended up gaining like 50 lbs in college.

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

ok so can you ladies who are on WW tell me what your meals consist of? like give me a few examples of what you eat for breakfast lunch and dinner?

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

for breakfast i sometimes have 1 cup of caramel delight fiber one cereal ( it actually tastes good) and 1/2 cup fat free milk ( a total of 4 pts) , or i'll have 2 blueberry eggo nutrigrain waffles ( 3 pts). there a lots of yogurts that are only 1 pt each. for lunch i usually have a Smart Ones because they are cheap and easy and i'll have a 1 pt yogurt

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

Here's a normal day for me:

I get 21 pts.

Breakfast:
1 cup shredded wheat ceral: 2 pts
1 cup skim milk: 2 pts
1 cup coffee: 0 pts

total: 4 pts

Snack:
1 WW Yogurt: 1 pt

total: 5 pts

Lunch:
1/2 cup grilled chicken: 2 pts
1 whole wheat wrap: 2 pts
lettuce, tomato, onionL 0 pts
mustard: 0 pts

15 light ruffles chips: 1 pt
1 small apple: 1 pt

total: 11 pts

snack: 18 all bran crackers: 2 pts

total: 13 pts

dinner:
2 fat free turkey hot dogs: 2 pts
2 fat free hot dog rolls: 2 pts
1 small salad: 0 pts
calorie free dressing: 0 pts

total: 17 pts

desest: WW choc. eclair: 3 pts

Total: 20 pts.




Its really easy to stay on points- just find low point foods...I feel like I eat SO much but Im actually not- its great!!

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

i'm gonna try and join this week i think. you girls have totally motivated me. do you excercise as well?

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

I excercise as much as I possibly can. I joined a gym in September and it def. helps!

I try to get in at least 3x a week, if I'm lucky more!

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

is the point system available to look at online for free??

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

The WW doesn't give the list of foods and points b/c they want people to join and pay...

Here's the info about the two plans

Or were you wondering how many points you get each week?

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

i was wondering about both...
figured maybe 20 points a day allotment...is that about right? And foods that are 100 calories are 1 point, right?

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

just curious as to how it works when going out to eat, or parties, etc when you can't really measure out what you are eating... i know some restaruants have points value trackers (i think applebees does) but what do you do when you eat out at other places? thanks!

I'm 5'5', 142 lbs, 23 years old, and my job is not very active: I get 21 pts per day.

Most of the 100 calorie snacks are 2 points. However, they are many other foods that are 100 calories and 1 pt. It depends on the amount of fat and fiber in it.

Honestly, when I go to the parties/out to eat...I just do the BEST i can. I try to OVER estimate the number of points I'm eating (just in case).

thats the same thing i do, just use your best judgement. You kind of guess about how much a portion is, and if anything over estimate

I have tried both & the online tool is nice, but I personally found that going to the meeting & knowing you are getting weighed in once a week motivated me to lose weight more then just following it online. Hope that helps. Also going to the meetings even if you do not say anything just listening to others is very helpful.

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

I haven't done the e-tools yet, but I do find going to the meetings every helpful.

Re: 2010 WW/Weight Loss Thread

thanks ladies...that does help.
maybe i will check and see where my nearest center is.
