Hi folks!
Looks like a really good, supportive group we have here. I am, unfortunately, a lapsed Weight Watcher. I lost about 40 pounds last year to fit into the wedding gown, then got married, and went PFFFFT. Haven't been able to get back to going to the gym consistently, haven't been journaling or really paying attention to points, and have been...er...supplementing my fairly healthy brought-from-home lunches with unhealthy soups and brownies from the Treats shop in my new office building. *sigh* The stupid shop is just too handy, I think the only solution is to not to bring money with me to work. In short, I've put on about 20 pounds since my September wedding. The only good habits I managed to keep were drinking gallons of water, and taking my coffee with milk instead of cream. How discouraging, after how hard I worked to get the weight off in the first place. But anyhow, today is a new day! I've stayed in my point range, went to the gym, and basically been good all day! Yay me! I look forward to hearing about your successes, and learning some new low-point recipes to kick-start my program. I've recently discovered a corn chowder one if anyone likes that sort of thing. It makes about four servings at five points per serving, and involves skim milk, skim milk powder, etc. KD PS - I haven't gone to meetings since last year..what is a flex point anyhow? That's new since I was there. |

KD:
Congrats for coming back!! Are you going to the meetings or are you going from your old books? Either is great!! Flex points are set up so that you have a set number of points a day and then a weekly allotment of 35 flex points. Post here lots!! -- Cheers, Connie Walsh 241.5/201/155 RAFL 210.5/201/198.5 2nd 10% 219.5/201/198 KD wrote: Hi folks! Looks like a really good, supportive group we have here.

We just have a set number of points, and can earn more for exercise. It sounds like you are on the right track with the points and the water: flex points or whatever don't really matter - just use what works for you!

HI KD and welcome back. I can relate to your plight. 23 years ago when I
walked down the isle, I was 135. For one day!!!!! All the honeymoon and playing house with cooking etc packed the weight on quickly. Hang in there and you will have it off in no time. As for the flex point, you will love them. I was a product of the food exchanges and it was hard to make the change at first. It is great to have the flexablity to have high point meals and not feel you have derailed completely. Goood luck and welcome back. Bird "KD" wrote in message ... Hi folks!

Hi KD,
I posted under the same title a few days ago (Starting Over) and am right there with you! Good luck getting back on program. I have posted pictures of myself when I was 8 pounds away from goal on my fridge, and that has kept me OP for the last few days... At least you're halfway there this time! Good luck!
