  1. I have recently just started weight watchers over, I am counting my points and drinking my water and
    trying to get back into a exercise routine. So far I am doing okay, I went off program sat and sun
    night, but am back on track today and am drinking tons of water. I walked 1 mile using the walk away
    the pounds tapes it was 1 of the two mile tape. I also walk to and from work, and take the stairs in
    my apartment building. I walk when we go to get our groceries done and walk home. I work at Tim
    Hortons doing the mid night shift and I literally run for 7 and a half hrs straight with no breaks.
    While I am there I do do some heavey lifting and such. I am cutting the high carbs out of my diet
    slowly so that I do not over eat on them or cheat. I try and keep track of my points and calories as
    best as I can and journal everyday. I don't have alot of weight to lose, but I am in a wedding in
    May of this years and have to wear a dress so I want to be in good shape for that.I am not the type
    of girl who likes to get dressed up in skirst and dresses for fun. I was a Tomboy when I grew up and
    like to get out and play with the boys. Anyway, my goal is to lose 10lbs and to tone everything up.
    I am working on losing the weight first before I worry about working out with weights. With cutting
    out the high carbs or at least cutting back I have to watch which fruits that I eat anyone have any
    ideas on some good low car and low point fruits? Any help would be greatful. Thanks in Advanced

    Ps sorry this is so long

  2. Hi Angie! Glad you're back on WW's! Sounds like you've got things under control & are certainly
    getting lots of exercise ;-) Wish you luck on getting those 10 off by May. Elaine K

    If you're doing WW, then you don't need to worry about carbs. Watch your total points. Try filling
    up on foods that are high volume compared to their points. For example, a single donut might be 6
    points and it's easy to eat two or three of them since they aren't very filling. If you were
    eating any type of fruit, you'd have a hard time eating enough at one sitting to be even close to
    as many points.

  4. I'm doing good today is my first full day back on the program. I have eaten at the low end of my
    points today. and have had no junk food. I have one more snack left and will have that before I go
    to bed. which will be soon because I have been up since 9 20 last night. as I have mentioned before
    I work midnights and had to work last night. now I am off, I have to get up early tomorrow so I need
    to be able to sleep all night tonight. and didn't want to sleep the day away. I got my exercise in
    today. I did a mile walk with the walk away the pounds tapes. ate some veggies and fruit. I think I
    'me going to be okay at doing this. have also decided today to concentrate on just my points. to
    make sure I stay op. here's hoping tomorrow will be as good since I am going to be away from home
    all day and am going out of town to visit parents for a few days. anyway thanks for the welcome back
    and the encouragement I need all I can get

  5. At the low end of your points? Are you doing the old program? Or are you just not eating many flex
    points? Good for you for exercising!

    Strawberries are pretty low in carbs, as fruits go.
