Weight Watchers!

So, I placed the order for the At Home kit today. Would have done it this weekend, but the web page order form sucks, and I wanted to make sure that they split the payments up properly. So I called the order in today. The kit should arrive sometime this week. I've got no plans to pig out or anything today or tomorrow just because I'm starting a diet soon, either (made that mistake in the past). So yeah, I feel like I'm on track here.

Heather and my friends who started a few months ago have lost about 30-40 lbs total on it, We have lost almost 100 on it, and Heather's mom (who is really just staying with us, so she is 'on' it) has lost about 15-20.

And the great thing is that it's really just a decent accounting method of eating healthier and exercising. It's not like a diet (which I've been on before). I don't miss my old eating habits, and I don't feel like I'm 'missing out' at all.

Here's a secret if they have them by you:

Ice cream sandwiches by Skinny Cow -- only 2 points per sandwich, taste sooo good I'd eat em if they weren't only 2 points.

another:

Pretzel sticks & mustard. Mustard is free, pretzel sticks (minis) are about 24/point IIRC. Great for snacking and filling up corners.

May you have success!

I'll have to keep an eye out for those sandwiches. Their website says that both Kroger and Publix sell 'em in GA.

Pretzel sticks & mustard. Mustard is free, pretzel sticks (minis) are about 24/point IIRC.

Woohoo! Free mustard! Oh, wait. You don't mean it like that. Still, it's a snack I like anyway.

Thanks!

As well, if you like spice, most spices & veggies are 'free' as well, so you could go a grilled vegg tomato-based curry soup that is almost 0 for points, yet tasty and filling and helps you get the fiber and liquid you need.

Anyway sorry for hogging the entry, It's just as a gourmand, I am excited to share the possibilities for tasty healthy food.

Oh! SUSHI. Nigiri sushi is .5pts each. 4 for 2 points. You can do a filling sushi lunch (with great protein & proper carb ratio) for about 6-8 pts. It's been my main source of protein and it feels like "cheating."

Share away! Seriously, I hate the idea of boring eating habits, so the more options, the better.

And I'm really glad to hear about sushi, although I don't doubt that the way I eat the stuff now, most of my lunches would be at 10pts plus. But still being able to eat it would be damned nice.
