Rep Power: 26 | | Hi all  Okay, I started WW last week (at home) on 3/20/06 and I get 24 pts per day... Its been "easy" so far even my "cheats" have fit into my days without using "flex points" (thank goodness!!!)
I have been craving cheesecake this week (don't know why b/c I really don't normally care for it) and found a great alternative 1 TBSP of light cream cheese spread on 1 honey graham cracker SQUARE and topped w/ another square (so 1 sheet total). Its only 3 points as opposed to like 10 or 12 Now, if only I could reduce it more..... OH well, guess it wouldn't have the same flavor I want if I did that *sigh* guess I'll have to suck it up! LOL
Tina, so far so good

Rep Power: 26 | | OOOOO! How frustrating!!! I have been SO good with everything this week and only lost a pound  I am glad my month-long plateau got "broke" but I was REALLY hoping for more like 2 pounds.... well, atleast I didn't maintain the plateau

Rep Power: 0 | | Thanks BB - day 2 went well also. I finished the day with 22 pts which is right on target for me. I'm already down 2 lbs which is kinda quick but I'm sure it will even out by the end of the week.
I managed to drink 3 full bottles of water yesterday too, and only one bottle of diet coke. I think I actually had more energy yesterday then I usually do drinking diet coke all day long.

Rep Power: 0 | | Great job on taking that first step to a healthier lifestyle! One great resource for Weight Watcher members, as well as anyone else I guess, is Dottie's Weight Loss Zone. The web site is www.dwlz.com and it lists all kinds of foods and recipes and gives point values for each food. It's really great for information on fast food and restaurants as well. Stick with it and don't get discouraged if you hit a plateau. Just keep at it and you will reach your goals! Best of luck to you.

Rep Power: 0 | | | Great job on joining WW! I joined about 2 weeks ago, and I'm enjoying it because it's not as hard as the other diets I've tried before in the past.
It's a new lifestyle of eating, and everything so good luck on your goal, you'll do fine! Take it a day at a time

Rep Power: 0 | | | WEIGHT WATCHERS: Core plan vs.Flex Points plan
If you are using the Core plan on WW I would like to know what foods you are eating on a daily basis. I feel so guilty because this diet allows certain foods such as cheese (limited amount of course) . Do these 2 plans both allow you to lose as much weight or is one plan more effective than another?
