I Did It!!!!

[Janet]

I sure hope so Tink. I really believe my health is in danger. I already have high blood pressure, I go back to the Dr. this month to have blood drawn to check the thyroid and see if the meds need adjusted, my knees hurt so bad when I get up from sitting...I've just got to get this weight off. I know going to the meetings will really help.

CONGRATULATIONS JANET!!!

I was going to post "Have you gone yet Janet?" as soon as I caught up with the new posts I've missed. I'm really happy for you. It sounds like you had a good time there. I just know it's going to work for you!

I went to my WW, but they were closed. I'll go back this week and begin. (I was so glad they were closed because I've been totally pigging out before I start)

Hey Janet!

So are you liking the program, now that you've been on for a few days? I'm just so excited to be back on it. I always feel so in control of myself when I'm dieting.

Seeeeeee Janet going to the meetings is so encouraging better than doing it online. Unless of course you don't have a choice.. They will motivate you and its fun listening to others speak. You will DO IT!!! I feel it!! Just remember your doing it for your health. You will love the results I promise..

I myself want to start again, but I figure in a few weeks I will start the dental procedures and I will be eating lots of soft foods..lol no need to diet , it will come off. One positive thing that will come from the extractions and implants...lol

Good luck and keep us posted with your accomplishments ... oxox

So far Misty, I'm really liking it. Tonight I made something so simple. They have these bags of brown rice that you just heat in the pouch in the microwave. There are two servings in each pouch. Then I microwaved some frozen mixed veggies. It was really good too and only 5 points total. I got full from just the one serving.

I don't like cooking very well, so I'm really going to have to start I think. I also have trouble some days getting all 29 points. I may have one left and then have to go eat something to get it all. I was told not to go below the 29 points so I make sure I don't.

For lunch, I love to have a wheat pita pocket with turkey and cheese. So filling and only 4 points. I'm in this for the long haul. I need to get on the WW site and print out some easy recipes.

Janet, I'm so glad that you had a really good time at your meeting. It sounds like you are really inspired to do this. It sounds like there's lots of people in your group to encourage you and give you lots of hints and ideas on how to stay on the diet. It sounds like it would be fun to do as a large group. I'm cheering you on from here as well too!!!! Go Janet!!!!!!!

Yes, you do have to eat all your points. I usually have no problem eating enough! LOL.

Here's some ideas for you:
Baked skinless chicken leg (regular size, not a huge one) with nothing on it is 1 point. With a fat free sauce like bbq, its 2 pts, so you could have 2 bbq chicken legs for 4 pts plus your rice and veggies. If you start with a 4oz boneless skinless chicken breast, it will be 4pts for the one with sauce.

I have lots of WW recipes. If you're looking for something, let me know and I can find one for you. Their cookbooks are really good, and you can find used ones pretty inexpensively on ebay.

I need some WW recipes so bad, but I have to look through them. There are so many things that I do not like, that's why I didn't rush to buy the Recipe books they had for sale at the meeting. One book was $10.00, I think it was an older one and the new one for $20.00. The food companion and dining out companion books are different than mine. I think mine are from 2006. Not sure if I'll buy the food companion again, but I may go ahead and purchase the dining out because restaurants are always changing their menu. They are only $10.00.

I'm just really anxious to try some different recipes, I'll just leave the stuff out I don't like and maybe substitute.

I was wanting to go to WW last year, but there wasn't one in our town. Said there was enough interest. I couldn't believe that when I went last Thursday (the 3rd) because there were soooo many people, men and women. I don't think they'll have to leave town again for a very long time if this many stay interested.
