I am looking for some snack ideas, other than fruit and veggies. That's one of my baby step changes as I was never a big fruit and veggie eater.

A couple of things that I snack on are: beef jerkey is 2 points for 1 ounce. Special K Cracker chips are 1 point for 14 chips. Also the (I can't remember the name) Devil's food cake cookies are 1 point each or 3 points for 2. Also the WW snack size fudgesicles are 1 point each.

Thanks for the tips! I never thought of beef jerky. I picked up some barbeque flavor Popchips, as 29 chips are only 4 points. And for the record, 29 chips was too many for me. Never thought I'd say that

Darn - up 1/2 lb this week. It was a really stressful week for me at work and I know I am a big stress eater and with my struggle with plantar fasciitis not as many activity points so all in all still a good week for me. Hope you all have good WI's this week!

Half a pound down is half a pound DOWN! That's great. That's especially good if you had a stressful week.

I’m happy to say that I started WW on January 2 of this year. As of today’s weigh in, I have lost 47 lbs! I am so thrilled. I have a little over 1 lb to my goal. My sister and I booked a cruise for April and my motivation is to be able to stay in a bikini that week! I went from a size 18 to a 6 now. I already have plans to get up early at least 5 days and workout. Never thought I would like exercising but I love it now!

WOW!! Congratulations!! That is no small feat....I hope you are proud of your accomplishment!!

[dmc6469]

Thank you Ginny. I am. Its nice when people at work ask you when you are done dieting because you are looking good and must be at goal. And with the cruise, it sure gives motivation to stick with it

Hi Jeannie...I have been searching for you, and I can't believe I found you. How are you? Hope everything is going well with you and your family

I would like to join you all if I may. I am a 36 year old wife and mother of 2.

I have been on WW points plus on and off for about a year. Down about 17 pounds but would like to lose at the very least 30 more. I know I won't be able to lose that much in time for my cruise in 67 days. I'm just now getting back "on the wagon". I am a size 12/14 but very short so I have a long way to go. I have been gaining and losing the same 5 pounds for months! I feel that if I could just get past those 5 pounds I can push forward. Thanks for having me. I hope being here with you will keep me on track!

Welcome! I've got probably 125 to lose, but hope to lose another 10 before our cruise on Dec 2nd. That would make 25 down from when I started in June (I'd previously lost 24 pounds on my own) We have 12 weeks to go so am hopeful I can do it. I know what you mean about losing the same pounds over and over. I lost the same 10 for a year and a half. It gets very depressing. You think you've started and then wham! there they are back again!

[CrimsonQueen]

I am down 5.8 pounds, as of weigh-in last night! Still have a long "weigh" to go, but at least I'm heading in the right direction!

[bunchesofun]

Wow, that's great! I'm not expecting much of a loss, if any this week. I weigh myself every morning and it hasn't gone down since last WI day. Oh well, it will eventually come off, I just wish it were faster!

[dmc6469]

How do you know that you are addicted to looking good? Sitting here at the office and thinking about what workouts are on the agenda tonight, how long to walk the dogs and what healthy thing is for dinner.

[bunchesofun]

Went to weigh in this morning. I lost .4 Oh well, it's .4 in the right direction. I do wish I could lose a little more each week though. Eleven weeks until our cruise.
