Welcome! This is a thread for people who want to attend a meeting from the comfort of their own home. We are primarily a PointsPlus board (Go Team Yellow!) but all are welcome to revel in the GHG's, 16 Routines, and topics that never get old. If you're new here, feel free to introduce yourself! If you have anything to celebrate, share and give yourself a bravo sticker: + If you want to make it official, you can weigh yourself and put it in your tracker or share it! If you need some accountability, feel free to post daily how you’re doing on PP/GHG’s. This Week's Topic: Adjusting Your PointsPlus Budget www.weightwatchers.com/templates/print.aspx?PageId=1357901&PrintFlag=yes&previewDate=9/5/2015What does your weight loss look like? Is it in the 0.5 to 2 lb a week range? Do you stick to your dailies? Eat some or all of your weeklies? Eat some or all of your activity points? What is the rate of points vs weight loss that makes the program liveable for you? This Week’s Routine: (2) Before you leave the house make sure you have a healthy snack with you. GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 3 8 oz glasses (or 3 water bottles) a day, water preferred. |

Good morning! I just decided to come back to PP recently. I had always been a simply filling girl and actually never learned the art of true tracking. I had been searching for months for something that felt right, and for some reason this just clicked. I have found a way for itrackbites to work for me. Now. I just need to remember and remind myself that it needs time. I do suffer from the shiny object syndrome, thinking that what everyone else is doing is better than what I am doing.
What does your weight loss look like? Is it in the 0.5 to 2 lb a week range? ## I have gotten very good at maintaining.. Lol
Do you stick to your dailies? Eat some or all of your weeklies? Eat some or all of your activity points?
What is the rate of points vs weight loss that makes the program liveable for you? Working on this now... Just starting to track.
This Week’s Routine: (2) Before you leave the house make sure you have a healthy
snack with you. We are still staying extremely close to home
GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 3 8 oz glasses (or 3 water bottles) a day, water preferred. 64 oz minimum for me

If you have anything to celebrate, share and give yourself a bravo sticker:
I am tracking every BLT on iTrackBites and have dropped 13 pounds since starting on May 15 or perhaps May 16. The first month I did the original 123/Momentum program then changed to what is the points plus program a couple weeks ago. The plan is to see which program is a better fit at the end of the month. I like tracking on the phone and seeing the pounds drop. They slow down, it seems, at every decade drop...arghhhh
If you want to make it official, you can weigh yourself and put it in your tracker or share it!
First weigh-in: 203.4
Today's weight: 190.4
This Week's Topic: Adjusting Your PointsPlus Budget
What does your weight loss look like? Is it in the 0.5 to 2 lb a week range?
Interesting...I think I am doing okay...though I would LOVE to drop the pounds faster am telling myself that it will happen as it should and perhaps, as I am older, it is better to lose more slowly so my skin can shrink more easily (wishful dreaming!). I think I am losing a bit more slowly than I did in 1998/9 and 1984 but I am older and it is only by a bit as then it was 1.5 pounds on average per week and it seems this time around 8 weeks and 4 days so...not THAT much difference...perhaps even about the same  Do you stick to your dailies? Eat some or all of your weeklies? Eat some or all of your activity points?
Most days BUT there have been a few BIG SPLURGE days and a couple of days I used some activity/weekly points?
What is the rate of points vs weight loss that makes the program liveable for you?
I have NO idea...I just look the points up as I enter the foods and stop or adjust amounts to meet the day's points. I use fruit/veg to fill myself up if hungry... This Week’s Routine: (2) Before you leave the house make sure you have a healthy snack with you. With covid-19 hanging around we don't need snacks since we don't go out much...maybe at most once a week if that. BUT this is a good idea 
GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 3 8 oz glasses (or 3 water bottles) a day, water preferred.
This one is easy for me...always have water nearby and am sipping away at it!

Since I'm just starting back, it's bouncing around. Speaking of which, my starting weight is 214.6
Do you stick to your dailies? Eat some or all of your weeklies? Eat some or all of your activity points?
In previous life, I would eat all the points I had.

Since it's been several years since doing WW actively, I'm not really sure.
This Week’s Routine: (2) Before you leave the house make sure you have a healthy
snack with you.
I keep a snack bar in bag, just in case.
GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 3 8 oz glasses (or 3 water bottles) a day, water preferred.
I used to drink 60+ oz but it has fallen waaaaaaay off. I'm trying to get 40 oz in. Usually ice water and with flavor added (crystal light, etc.)
Dinner tonight will be: Indonesian Peanut Chicken with rice noodles. Cooking it in crockpot
Here is a hot weather recipe:
Quick Gazpacho
2-14.5 oz petite diced tomatoes
2 cc. reduced sodium tomato vegetable juice
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 English (seedless) cucumber, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced *
1 small red onion, minced
1 T. balsamic vinegar
1 t. salt
Stir together all ingredients in large bowl. Refrigerate covered, until chilled, about 4 hours.
*I used some diced green chilies instead.
To make a smooth soup, put thru blender or food processor.
Recipe from WW Power Foods cookbook.
Have a great day! Hope to bbl

What was the green, blue and purple in the points? I must have missed this one. Green for proteins, blue Carbs and purple fats?

@fran Are you referring to the green, blue, and purple plans? The Green is the first program after PointsPlus, with SmartPoints which penalizes foods with sugar and fat, and rewards protein. The Blue plan is essentially Freestyle where you are using the same calculation as the Green plan just with additional free foods, like eggs, chicken, beans, etc. And the Purple plan is still the same calculations but even more free foods like whole grains. I hope that was your question. |
