How am I doing so far?

Ok - I'm getting married 4 months from tomorrow and I am finally motivated to get rid of the extra poundage. I figure 3-4 pounds for the next 3 months and then a month of maintenance so I'm back on WW.

Here is what I've eaten today:
Breakfast:
1 cup of melon
1 slice of whole wheat bread w/ strawberry jelly

Snack - cup of red peppers

Is that good?

Sounds like you are doing great to me!
I figure- out of what you ate so far... it's only 2pts.
Keep up the good work!

I'm doing OK.... I missed my July 4th goal by 1lb which is a bummer. But I'm fine with it. I'll get there. (water, water water.... lean cuisine meals, WW meals, 2pt and under snacks)
Wish my luck on my next goal for July 24th... the day I leave for the Disney cruise!!!

You'll do great Cheryl - missed by 1 pound is nothing....water weight :)

For lunch I had 1.5 slices of low carb whole wheat bread w/ 3 slices of turkey and tomato. I am now having a DD iced coffee w/ 1 sugar and skim milk. I have a peach for later.

So that brings me to 8 points?

Yes your lunch was 8pts.
Use Equal in your coffee next time. It's no pts vs. 2 pts for the regular sugar!

So what is my total for the day including the peach I'm going to eat?

I haven't done this in awhile - thanks so much for your help!!!!

Peach is 1pt.
Oh and I messed up your breakfast points! (sorry) I forgot to add 1pt for the 1 cup melon.

So 8 for lunch, plus 3 for breakfast and your peach= 12pts total so far!

What is your range?
I'm 18-23 per day.

12 points total - not too bad for my first day back on the plan LOL

I can do 20-25 a day. I'm so bad - I just called my mom and asked her what was for dinner :) Steak with a veggie and a salad. I told her to grill the veggies and brush them w/ olive oil and then salt, pepper and garlic powder on them. YUMMMMMM

After work I'm off to the gym for 10 minutes on the bike, arms and then the treadmill.

Thanks for helping me Cheryl - I really appreciate it. I need all the help I can get!!!!!!!

Just keep in mind WW says 4oz of steak is 10pts. (but it doesn't say if it's lean steak or not)
Also--- watch the evil salad dressings!!!

10 points for steak?!?!?!?!

I thought it was 5 points - wow, they definitely keep changing the values on me. My steak will definitely be lean - no piece of fat can touch my fork. I can't handle the fat........ewwwwwwww.

Salad dressing will only be balsamic vinegar and canola oil - simple.

I will lose 10 pounds if it kills me. FH has lost 18 and he looks amazing. I need to catch up and look as good..........I'm the bride LOL
