Weight Watchers Update
So I did it! I signed up for the etools on Wednesday morning. I then decided to have a last supper with my husband that night of my favorite food (pizza and french fries!). We ordered from Anna's in Waltham (best pizza in town!) and I felt horrible. It completely motivated me to stick to this plan so Thursday I was great and today I have everything measured out, points calculated and I'm ready to go!
I can do this!
Re: Weight Watchers Update
I've been on the program since January and have had weight loss, except for last week when I gained less than half a pound. Not a lot, but still a gain. But at least I know why! My long weekend was bad when it came to food and I thought that I had counted well, and even though I used pretty much all of my extra 35 points, I still had the slight gain.
That didn't disuade me though; just made me do better. I even went out to dinner last night to Post 390 (home of the beer and bacon Mac and Cheese) and didn't eat the bread, drank a lot of water, had only 1 bud light (2 points) and had a 4oz steak and only 10 french fries. And I didn't feel deprived! The next weigh in is next Tuesday so I'm crossing my fingers!
Good luck christy!! You can definitely do this!!
I started with the etools on Wednesday as well and so far, so good. I've been logging everything, gone to the gym and I feel really motivated as well. I've been watching my portion sizes too. I'm considering getting a food scale for the kitchen..do you use one? I don't know if it will make a significant difference or not.
I'm psyched to find someone else starting at the same time as me

We'll rock it, no worries!
That's great Laina! The beer and bacon mac at 390 is AMAZING! My girlfriend got it once when we went there and all 3 of us just kept stealing from her plate!
I have some downtime today so I'm gonna scour the WW website for recipes for the week so I can be prepared.
Rock, I'll definitely share my success (and failures!). It's good motivation knowing I have to tell people if I lost or gained!
I've done WW in the past and recently started up again. Here's a blog that I absolutely LOVE - the recipes are sooo good and she calculates the points for you!
