Yikes, that must be tough! I bet he eats a lot more daily than you do though so maybe it won't be as hard of an adjustment as it seems right now. Good luck! I'm sure you'll be losing weight in no time!

Good luck Marilyn! 18 pts is not bad, you actually get enough in one day, plus you can save your pts for the weekend. It has been awhile! but I do remember. lol

Okay, it wasn't so bad. I had:

Small bowl of Cheerio's with fat free milk for breakfast = 3 pts.
Late lunch (busy day on the road) Fruit & Yogurt Parfet (sp?) from McDonalds = 3 pts.
Chili's Guiltless Grill Chicken Sandwich with veggies and black beans = 10 pts.
Weight Watcher's Ice Cream Bar = 2 pts.

18 pts total. I got 3 dairy, milk, yogurt & ice cream, but was way short on the recommended servings of vegetables and water.

Will have to try harder tomorrow to get the balance right. However, tomorrow is another day on the road , which makes it difficult.

On the Flex Plan, I'm actually allowed 35 discrecionary points per week to use when I need to, if I need to. So far, I feel like 18 points may be enough after all.

I've got 28 points so it was actually a bit hard to eat all mine, I ended up 2 points short today. There's actually a whole lot you can eat that have no points. You can eat all the lettuce, okra, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, squash...etc etc that you want. If I hadn't gotten that soup too, my salad for lunch would have only been 1 point.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! An entire meal only 1 pt!!

And Weight Watchers has some really good snack stuff too. Mum mentioned the ice cream bars, they're only 2 points and oh so good!!!
