Here is a chart I found for daily point goals based on your weight:
less than 150 pounds 18-23 daily points
150 to 174 pounds 20-25 daily points
175 to 199 pounds 22-27 daily points
200 to 224 pounds 24-29 daily points
As you lose the weight, you adjust your daily point allowance.
OK, so my question is this, I fall in the 20-25 daily point range. Do I just stay in that range or should it be more specific like to the number?
Today is the official starting day for WW. I had cereal for breakfast and did not even feel guilty about it!!! How nice. I will be back later and post more...
Yep, that's right -a change in the butt kickin' ! Yesterday and today I tried to stay on the whole low carb scene and the more I thought about it I realized this (low carb) is NOT something I would want to do long term or become a whole lifetime way of eating.
I mentioned in my previous post that I have been interested in going back to WW for a while now.....and all the other reasons that I wrote. After all of your comments and my disgust today while trying to eat yet another egg, I decided to quit making excuses. So, I have been on the web some since I got home from work today (actually went into the office) and have found some helpful stuff for WW.
I went over to weightwatchers.com and took a little look around. This weekend I am going to surf the web and find ever helpful piece of information I can to help me get started on WW. Shelli mentioned that she does the monthly pass for WW. So, that is on the list to research.
I also had a WHAT THE CRAP moment today. I have several blogging friends that are doing WW -Veronika, Shelli, Erin, Critter, Javachick, and Kathy. What a wealth of WW support I will automatically have! What was I thinking.....I will have my own WW weekly blog meeting so to speak!! Makes sense huh?
Thanks to all of your for sticking around and providing such wonderful support! Be prepared becuase I will probably be sharing with you alot of what you WW gals already know:)
Sometimes that is what it takes. A BUTT KICKIN' from myself! So, how many days have I been saying and saying I am going to get back on tranck and well honestly, I haven't. As I have said before when I was in a moment of struggling....I REFUSE to gain this weight back. REFUSE...you hear me. Well, that was the problem, everyone was hearing me except myself.
I am feeling better from all that was going on in Dec and have a dr appt this afternoon. Thinking I am feeling good enough now to get back to what I know needs to be done. Losin' It!
A couple of months ago I was thinking of starting Weight Watcher's which I have done in the past and really like it. Several of ya'll are doing WW and I have been reading what you have to say. Thing is, right now I do not want to shell out the money to join -not even the online version. I really want to do this plan and will continue to research more things like if I can get my hands on the point value of the foods without actually joining yet. Sorry, if that sounds bad but like I said I don't want to shell out the money yet with all I had to spend being sick in Dec.
Anyway, here I am starting things out right this morning. I am doing the low carb for now. I will post more details of what I am doing later. Work is calling...
Breakfast:
2 eggs .5 carbs each.
water
Lunch:
2 turkey patters 0 carbs each.
