Hello! I wanted to start up a ongoing support thread for all of us who are actively seeking the extra help from either regular Weight Watchers or most especially Weight Watchers Online.

I do not have the money to fork over for extra fees to attend the WW meetings etc. I also am not sure how many banded folks there are on their message board. I thought this would be a good place to hang out, discuss how well or not well we are staying within our points system, our extra activities and whatnot.

We can share ideas or new recipes, or just anything related to Weight Watchers... and even keep each other accountable.

Help me, I need support!!

OK I had a bigger food day today then I thought after adding my points!

Coffee & Skim Milk 1 point

30g shake 4 points

Greek yogurt 3 points

Spin class 60 min 6 activity points

Went to soup plantation for lunch, had a bowl of mushroom soup for 8 points and some chicken breast for 2 points

another 30g shake 4 points

Dinner was 4 oz beef and 1/4 baked potato with 1/4 cup cottage cheese 6 points total

so I am at 28 points and think I will have my fat free sugar free pudding for desert later for 6 points

34 total for the day minus my activity so 28 total.......isnt that how I do the activity points? Just minus it from my total?

Yep, thats how you do the activity points. I would love to try a spin class but in my little town they have none.boo! How long have u been banded?

LOOKS LIKE YOUR DOING GREAT WITH IT. Last night I went to the grocery and got some itialin flat out. They only have 90 caloreis for 1 and its

big. I put some shredded roast beef, turkey and ham, cheese with light miracle whip. I cut it in hal because its to big for one meal for me. It was so

good and low in points too. I love the flat outs they taste much better than the other soft tortias. I can not eat even a bit o bread havn't been able

to since my first fill of 1 cc so these are a life saver for me. I usually get the plain but the italian smelled so yummy. It was awsome you guys must

try.LOL! I alos seen people talking about kellogs craker chips way back on this site. I finally got a box of the sour cream onion. They were great

as well. You get 26 per serving and 3 points. I only had half a serving though with my wrap. They tasted like the baked chips but better. can't wait

to taste the cheese ones today for lunch. I looked down the chip ile first but they are with the crakers but taste nothing like a cracker. For some

reason I am starving today.Crossing my fingers that I stay out of the kitchen.LOL!

Ya you should always try to weigh first thing in the morning before food or water. It will give you a better baseline. I am sure all that working out and water just made you retain!

Lisa: First - the 75 pounds has been since 7/7/11 not Sept. But I have done good. I just left the Docotor and it is just under 80 pounds now - woo hoo !!! I try to eat low carb but I do have a very small red potato or a Tblsp of mashed potatoes. I will eat a half a slice of toast about once a week. I find that I need some of this in my diet and it helps balance me out. I eat 3-4 oza of protein for breakfast, lunch and dinner and generally a good size salad...

Here is my day (so far) today: Breakfast - Hot Tea

2 slices of Turkey Bacon

1 scrambled egg (wet)

Lunch: 3.5 ozs ground sirlon (left over from last night dinner)

tsp of homemade gravy (made w/bullion)

baggie with baby carrotts, celery sticks and two cherry tomatoes

I will dip this in a tsp of Catalina salad dressing

Sugar free Jello (orange)

Dinner: I am planning -

4 ozs chicken breast

1/4 cup green beans

1/4 bakes potato with spray butter

2 cups tossed lettuce salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and celery with

Olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing

I know that is not enough points and I know it has more carbs than my doctor wants but I am loosing a good pace and I feel good. I will also walk about 3 miles today.

do you exercise alot

i try but tax season is coming and all i will do is work

Lisa: Yes, I do go the meetings....I think weighing weekly - in front of someone - keeps my responsible and on track. I also like being with other people who are battling weight. I find that support system helpful for me.

Melinda

Ohhh I go weigh tomorrow at WW this will be my 2nd weigh in so I will see how I did on my very first week! I am nervous!

So far I have had:

Breakfast - coffee & skim milk 1 point

1 cup Kashi Go lean Cereal & 1 cup skim milk 7 points

Just got off my elliptical and did 45 min burned 495 cal and went 3 miles

Now lunch will be a shake 30g Protein 4 points

Melinda

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AGREE!

I think I am going to go back to the meetings. I really do need to be held accountable for my weight loss. I am so frustrated that my weight loss is at a stand still. I think the meetings will help give me encouragement.

Soexcited - What shake do you use? 30 grams of Protein sounds very filling. I've been looking for a high Protein Shake.
