First day on POINTS

I was amazed by how much I ate!!! I am in the 22-27 points range plus I get 3 active points too for my hour and a half at the gym, so max 30 points (God that's a lot of food!!)

Breakfast was:
Pillsbury Toaster Strudel (which I would NOT Have eaten if I thought about starting points today earlier) 4 points (still not bad)
1/2 container of yougurt - 3 points for the full container but I hated the flavor and threw it out

I overslept today so no lunch but snack was 1 cup of grapes - 1 point

Dinner was:
I allowed myself 2 cups of pasta (do you realize how much ONE cup of pasta is?!? wow!! It was almost a full bowl!) for 8 points but I didn't finish that either.
One cup pasta sauce total - 4 points
2 cups of salad - 0 points
2 tbsp. fat free dressing - 1 point
One biscuit - 2 points
with butter spray - 0 points

Making the grand total - only 23 POINTS!!!! And I didn't finish it all, so maybe 21!! And I feel so full, I am very happy with myself right now, and I can still have a little snack later if I get hungry. Only water to drink all day too. Not too bad!

Re: First day on POINTS

yay good for you. journal too. it helps so much. I am hardcore journaling.

I am allowed 18 - 23 points and today I had 22. Yesterday i had 2 slices of pizza which is 18 points (9 points a slice) and then I had ice cream so I know I definatly went over. But its ok. Its now damage control all week and lots of yoga and walking.

Keep up the good work.

Re: First day on POINTS

also dont forget to drink lots of water.

Diet soda is also zero points. I love diet sprite and diet coke when their is no diet sprite. BUT slowly switching to caffeine free diet coke when I get it in the supermarket

Re: First day on POINTS

I'm so happy I have someone else starting at the same time as me, too!

I already packed some of the dinner leftovers for tomorrow's lunch, in smaller portions, and breakfast too and only at 11 points there, still plenty left for dinnertime!

I go to the gym 4-5 days a week - 40 minutes of cardio and at least 20 minutes of weights, sometimes more, so that gives me a little more to work with too.

Re: First day on POINTS

thats good. I always plan my meals a day in advance. it helps so much.

i have a million and one snack bags with my snacks and the points written on the bags. in my closet everything has point values on them.

if i know i am going out, i bank points during the week and eat low point foods that day.

I love WW it really helps in developing good eating habits

Hey WW girls- I am in the 18-23 range and yesterday I was SO GOOD with points except i made the huge mistake of eating WOW Chips out of the bag-so 10 minutes and 3 points later I felt horrible about it. So I was 2 points over so I went power walking for 2.5 miles and burned thm off. So I'm still on point. FYI, definitely try vegetable Hummus by Cedar's-Stop and Shop sells it-it is sooo yummy-I eat it with 2 slices light whole grain bread for 1.5 points!

Re: First day on POINTS

Day Two is going well here too, although I have to go off to the gym in a little bit - I'm saving my 2 day's worth of active points for ice cream tonight!!!

Re: First day on POINTS

Ok - did great until dinner. FH's friend is a chef and we went there for dinner. I did ok until the cake and cookies. I ate too much but I'm not stuffed like I usually am. I definitely went over my points but back on track and to the gym tomorrow!!!

Re: First day on POINTS

Chippa, I make pizza on the light english muffins, with the four cheese sauce from pathmark (the 4 cheese flavor from pathmark was less points than some garden veggie ones) with part skim shredded mozarella. They are so good! Ive eaten them for dinner 2 nights this week, and I am not tired of them yet. 2 english muffin pizzas are 8 points, and filling. Try them, you will love them!
