Just had my first weigh in and I'm down 3.8 pounds.
Granted I didn't have anything to eat today before the weigh-
in (just how my day went) but I'm wearing approximately
the same thing so I'm going to go ahead and count every
darn bit of that weight as lost.

Impressive first week. My WI is saturday morning at 8am. I
have breakfast when I get home. I get coffee on the way
there but don't have much until I've been weighed.

never happens.

skipping it this week. I did enjoy angel food cake when
I needed a treat since it's only 2 points per slice
(and the slices are pretty generous). Oh, wait, day one
I had a Smart Ones chocolate mousse. Still pretty damn
good for me!

When I get the chocolate cravings, I make myself a cup of
the Nestle No Sugar added hot chocolate with calcuim. 50
calories or 1 point.

Quoted message said:

I should have bought the intro packet last week that comes
with the food points book and the dining out guide. Got it
now so I don't have to manually calculate Pizza Hut.

Speaking of Pizza Hut, set aside an evening to splurge on
pizza and wings for poker night. By ordering the fit and
delicious veggie pizza and calculating the wings, I ended
up not eating enough points that day!

How was it? I've seen the commercials but we go there so
rarely these days I don't know how good it is.

Quoted message said:

Was running late for work one day so I skipped my stop to
get coffee and figured it was just as well because I'd
save 3 points in cream and sugar. Major headache within an
hour. Went to get a Coke to make up that

caffeine

and 3 points. Felt better. My Dunkin Donuts coffee with
cream and sugar

is

my daily 3 point treat. When I go down in weight and have
to cut my

points,

Quoted message said:

I'll change to milk and sugar (2 points) but for now, I do
love my morning routine.

I've switched to skim milk and have always used splenda.
Skim milk is not quite the same flavor as cream but it is
acceptable. But I have to get French Vanilla or I'm not
happy. The only time I go to DD is on my weight to my WW
meeting on Saturdays. My little wake up treat.

Quoted message said:

I do pottery so I measured out 3.8 pounds of clay to get a
feel for what I've lost. It's pretty darn impressive!

Yes it is. Keep it going and welcome to the newsgroup.

Congrats on the first week loss and the choice you made this
week to keep things going the right way.

You might try shrinking the sugar grain by grain in that
coffee! (G)
