WW ladies, I need advice
Hey ladies!
Haven't been able to check in lately. The state of Wisconsin is in chaos and it's F'ing up my ability to check in on TN. :-)
So I'm on week 6 of ww and I'm having a hard time! I tend to splurge more on the weekends, but I'm not going crazy. I looked on the website in the forums and found a couple postings that say even though people are following the point system, they are gaining, and they think it might be due to the fact that some foods that are 0 points, still have the calories. Ex: Fruits. Even though fruits are 0 points on WW, they still have calories which means, they aren't exactly great if you're overloading on them.
Anyone else been having any issues?
Re: WW ladies, I need advice
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
i am on week 4 of ww and i have lost 7.2 pounds following the plan! i find that i lose more the more i track my points, like two weeks ago i only lost .2 pounds because i didnt track that extra glass of wine or the couple of cupcakes i had...oops. but i find that when i track diligently, i lose weight, regardless of how much fruit i eat.
i know fruit has calories, but the weight watchers program isnt about counting calories, which is hard to grasp sometimes.
here is an example of what i eat each day with how many helpings of fruit and veggies, etc:
breakfast is either eggwhites (3) with 1 oz reduced fat cheddar OR ww oatmeal with 1/2 cu. skim milk (3 pts for the eggs, or 4 pts for the oatmeal)
morning snacks: banana and another fruit (apples, blueberries, whatever!) when i feel hungry (0 pts)
lunch: flaxseed pita with a teaspoon light mayo, lettuce, 1 oz reduced fat cheddar, 3 slices turkey or chicken breast. (7 points)
afternoon snacks: carrots (0 pts), ww string cheese (1 pt), ww yogurt (2 pts), sometimes the ww homemade veggie soup (1 pt)
dinner: lentils, baked lemon garlic shrimp, and sauteed kale (12 pts)
total: 27 points.
i think the key is to eating fruit when you are hungry for snacks rather than something that might be lower in calories but is not as healthy. for example, if you need a snack to tied you over, make a fruit salad, 0 points because of its health factor, rather than some of those 100 calorie snack packs that have no nutritional value.

Thanks! Is the oatmeal instant WW or a WW recipe? Just curious.
I think to be really successful you have to be diligent (like Shauni) with tracking your points. Unlike me, I suck and only will track points during the day and not at night or on weekends. I really need to get back on track because I'm just so pissed at myself for having gained so much weight. When I last weighed myself I was only up 6 pounds from the wedding, and I had last 4 since starting weight watchers.
