Weight Watchers Point System anyone?

[believer33323]

Has anyone seen the "Walden Farms" products. They were advertised in the WW Magazine. I tried a few and except for the little after taste of the "Splenda" they use for sweetner they are great. They have NO calories and NO fat.

You can purchase them directly from
Waldenfarms.com or another place is Amazon.com

Hi Chris~!

I saw the advertisement too, and was checking out the reviews online. Tho some were positive, many said they tasted aweful. I'm glad to hear someone reliable (you ARE a fellow cruiser, afterall ) give a positive review~ I realize that many people tend to do a review when they are disappointed... similar to reviewing a hotel or car rental or even a cruise! , so it is reassuring to find that you are pleased with the products!

Maybe I'll check them out again~ The one product that seemed to get consistant positive reviews was the Caramel Syrup... go figure~


WI is tomorrow... fingers crossed~

I stumbled across this thread this morning when I got up early after a restless night. I am so impressed with all the sucesses that others have had with WW. I joined in mid-January and have had my ups and downs- a total loss of 5.2#. I had hoped for more, but given that we are in South Carolina for the winter, and tend to eat out a lot and socialize with our winter friends over some great meals, I will count this as a success. It is only because I try to track my eating every day that I have lost any weight. It is amazing how weight creeps on when I am not aware of every bite I put in my mouth. Our next cruise is coming up in November so I hope to have met my goal and learned to maintain it by then. Like others commenting here, it would be great to buy some better-fitting cruise clothes. DH and I are also beginning to start packing light as we are tired of hauling luggage around for pre or post cruise travels. This seems like a good time to buy lighter clothing. Everyone keep up the good work. I am happy that I found this site and count on all the encouragement that abounds here.

Ciao,
Nikki

I think 5.2# is really great! Keep up the good work. Tracking has been my one of my biggest weight loss helps. We tend to eat out at least once a week and I love how I can fit it into the game plan by tracking.
Anyhow, well done!

Years ago I tried a few of the products and I didn't like them at all. I wonder if they have changed? I have seen some positive reviews. My local grocery store has some products and I might have to give them a try again.

Hello all,

It's a rainy day here in FL today, but we need it. Curled up with coffee and a book this morning before all the "men" of the house arose.

I stayed on point this week, even cheated a couple of times w beer/wings and a celebration cake at work, but I managed not to use my activity points.

May I suggest buying Lee's classic stretch boot cut jeans. They are very slenderizing. I bought a pair last week and wore them to work Friday, I had at least 3 people ask me how much weight I had lost. Talk about motivation!

At WI this morning I showed a loss of 1/2 lb this week, but I also met my 5% goal! I'm averaging about 1.6 lbs per week. That's 11.4 lbs in 7 wks or.....45 sticks of butter!!! lol

Good luck this week to everyone, remember this is a life change and it's a daily process, we are getting healthier & slimmer together!

89 days till Paradise!!!

Happy Sailing,

Yay 5%!! That is so great, Congratulations!

I am always looking for a great pair of jeans. I may have to search of and find a pair of Lee's to try on.

Happy Sailing,

Congrats on losing the weight. Slow and steady wins the race, and you are doing very well! I need a new pair of jeans so will keep my eye out for Lee's classic while out shopping this week. A pair that makes me look slimmer is an added bonus. Remember that even though these new jeans may have made made you look slimmer, you ARE slimmer. I have my WI in the morning and am hoping for some better news than last week when I had a 1 1/2 pound gain.

Ciao,

Hi Everyone,

I did my weekly weigh in this morning and I lost 2.4 pounds

Being extra careful over the weekend paid off.

Congratulations to just4kixx, keystonemama and everyone else fighting the good fight.

Hi everyone! I just started WW 2 days ago. I am looking into cruise for next Fall/Winter. We just got back from a great cruise on the Liberty but
I ate the Guy Burgers everyday. I am so excited to find this. If there is
anyone out there that needs help I will be here. I have always loved cruise critic. So this is awesome!!! I am 5 "10 and 195 lbs Would love to be at 170 by Sept.
Good Luck Everbody!!

Good work on the losses to Janet and just4kixx and anyone else that made good numbers this week. I did my weighin this morning and lost 3.4 pounds last week. I am now 1.1# from my 5% and hope to achieve that next Monday when I will need to renew my pass. By the time we leave Myrtle Beach I would like to ultimately have lost my 10%. but I will be happy with any loss. I didn't put these extra pounds on in a couple of months so will not lose them that quickly. I am learning to track every bite that I consume and must keep up that habit when I reach my goal. There were 2 ladies at WW this morning who each have lost over 75 pounds. What an inspiration to all! I just made al arge pot of chili using 92% lean ground beef. With all the beans and veggies, that will help me stay full, lose a pound or two and keep DH happy with our food choices. I also picked up some ground turkey at the market and plan to make a lasagna with light ricotta cheese for a dinner party on Thursday. That should help to keep me out of restaurants this week.

Ciao,
Nikki

Nikki and Janet... You gals Rock. Great job on your weight losses!

Welcome Footballbabe! I found this board recently but have been on WW since the middle of September. Same here, if you need anything/help don't hesitate to ask...

Diane

[keystonemama]

Wow, great weight loss everyone, you are rockin' this "diet", but all cruiser's rock...

I made some lentil/beef soup last night, added tomatoes, oregano, beef broth, carrots, frozen chopped onion/celery/bell pepper, barley, touch of corn & macaroni, salt, pepper and garlic. Very filling & tasty! Simmer 40 min. 6pts a serving (1 1/2 c).

Welcome newbie's!

"DIETING IS NOT A PIECE OF CAKE"
