points, points, points

So... as you may recall, ia m doing this on my own with the journal, the
Complete Food Companion and the Dining Out Guide (which I rarely use). The
Complete Food Companion is supposed to give me my points info. For carrots
one cup of raw is 0 points. What if I eat 2 carrots? How do I know the
multiplication factor on these foods? Thanks

You go to a meeting and get the program... that's how.

By preparing your own food from wholesome, nutritious ingredients instead of
buy pre-packaged, processed stuff, you should be able to save enough money
to pay for WW and then some. Our grocery bill has gone down substantially.

and how much does WW cost in the larger sceme of things, say as opposed to
an angeoplastic...

Everyone has their priorities, eh? I think it is interesting that folks are
willing to comment on my statrting position in order to determine the
relative priority of payng for WW! So how about I share.

I never buy prepackaged foods. I have not in years. It really is NOT cheaper
often to eat fresh produce a lot. A meal for hte family of tuna, egg noodle
and cream of mushroom soup is CHEAP. Be that as it may, I am a very frugal
grocery shopper. I freezer cook when things are on sale. I have a choice of
2 grocery stores and a warehouse store that I can get bargains from within
an easy driving radios. ($!.66 for boneless chicken breast!)

We are a single income family of 4. I home school the kids. My husband has a
good but modest job. As a result of some uforseen bills, dental that was
not covered, auto repairs... we are behind on about every bill you can dream
of. I am hesitant to cancel my gym membereship (our one ... extravagance)
because I know I will not work out at home.

I am not overweigth. There is no particular risk of angioplasti here. I am a
40yo, 5'8" woman at 145. I excercise pretty hard 3-5 days per week.

I am returning to WW way of doing things having slowly stopped eating
proeprly. I have a very small amount of weight to lose, but if healthy
eating is a lifestlyle and not a yo-yo diet, then I need to recalibrate
myself and get back in the right mindset.

So... I am not criticizing anyone who does wish to pay for WW. I think that
is great. When I first started, that is what I did as well. It worked great
for me. If you do not wish to share what could be considered proprietary
information, I completely respect you in that choice.

I am not trying to be critical or get up in anyone's face. Just thouguth I
woudl attempt to respond as politely as I could! (Which is hard for me since
I have a mouth on me!)

My recollection, actually, is that they don't give you any different
material than the complete food companion. Doe they breed lack of clear
information to promote your need to continue paying?

I am denser than the average bear. Rather than use the food companion, I can
just go to the USDA website and use the straight data.

How about a link? I am also an independent and I counted points differently
than a friend who uses a WW computer regarding a 'Cup of Soup'. He came up
with '1', and I count it as 4.1.
