Amy

ps if you know the points for my items let me know I have to go look them up

So I went to wi and i was up 1 lb... NOT bad..... if I work my butt off this week at the gym i can be back down..its not a big gain like 5 or more

keeping motivated !!!

Amy

Amy

_{ok ... I have been down hill thursday went over 35 points !! i did go to zumba for 60 mins...fri i was over 9 points sat over 8 points sunday over 3 and today over 7 but did yoga for 35 mins and zumba 60 mins......i know why i am doing this I just cant figure out how to fix it ..... i am messed up in the head for my 40th bday is justs weeks away and when I started out I wanted to be 199 and then i started gaining after my total unfil and I am up to 219 and there is NO way i can get down to that befor march 2nd unless i do a detox or just protien shakes all day ... thats not the way to do it.....

So glad I just found this thread! I joined WW on Saturday so today is day 3 for me on WW. I was banded 2 years ago and lost 50 pounds. Then I just stopped. So now I have joined the gym and joined WW I am doing a spin class at the gym M/T/W/F and the elliptical at home one day during the weekend. So I work out now 5 days out of 7 and feeling fine Just confused about the dam point thing. They say I should eat 32 points a day and to me that sounds like soooooooo much. One of my friends told me I was not loosing because I was not eating enough, could that be true? Also wondering if we could start a "WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY ON WW" thread.....what do you think? then we could all see what everyone else is eating and how many points everything has. Still cant wrap my head around fruit being 0 points!

that be great ! I am up to posting what I eat and workouts!! keeps me accountable !

this AM i drank a 10 gram protien shake = 5 pts 9:30 am

11:00 am ate a bowl of fresh strawberries with 2 tblspoons of ff cool whip = 0

1:00 had cauliflour (sp) and cheese the green giant pkg = 4 pts

1:30 a bowl of the ww Soup = 0

4;00 had a small hot chocolate from DD = 6

4;00 had a half of a plain doughnut = 4.5 ( not worth it )

I walked for 6 miles and played at the park ( baby sat today )

dinner is tacos for the fam but i dont know yet if i am eatting them ?? i have a hard time with ground beef

amy

ok so dinner...

refried Beans 1/2 cup =2 pts

ground beef 3ozs =3 pts

mexi cheese 1 cup = 9

desert.....

sliced fresh strawberries =0

sliced banana=0

1 ff pudding cup=2 pt

4 table spoons ff cool whip =0

layered in a fancy ice cream glass

35 pts for the day

walked the dog 3 miles

10 pts for walking today .......

all in all it was a good eatting day. i go to my dr's tomorrow and I am hoping he is happy with me

I cant belive how I over did it last night ! so today i am doing zumba and weight lifting at the gym !! i am NOT going to let a great week go bad over a few STUPID choices I made last night !!

amy

I have to say I LOVE ww with the band !!! 3 weeks ago I met with my doc to talk about getting the band removed and getting the sleeve done. he told me to meet with the nut and he would do the paper work for my insurance. i made the appt and cried about how i failed at this band that my family didnt want me to get... then i got a join free ww flyer in the mail and i found this thread..so i went . i didnt want to spend 40 a month plus my 54 a month gym fee but i had a gut feeling. i started the e tools on my phone and the bar scaner <3 that ! i started on wed today my pants are lose i got on the wii and i am down 4 lbs already !!! i know this was ment to be !!! thank you for this thread and everyone who posted!! it was everything i needed to know i can work this band and i am going to keep it

i did do the ww tracker and it says 31.... its not a big diffrence.i was so ready to go today and my hubby took me out to lunch I did well but I had my day planed out before hand so off to the gym to zumba.......

I went last night and joined WW !! i am sooo pumped up. first my home scale is off by 2 lbs so i was less then i thought then I went to the supermarket and stocked up. today i am making the Soup. it is kind of hard not having the slider so i downloaded the scaner on my phone so i can scan barcodes.... I called the nut yesterday and she told me to do 29 points so here goes my first day !!!
