Lost so far: 2.0 lb

Current Weight

161.0 lb
Performance: losing 2.0 lb a week

Goal Weight

Still to go: 21.0 lb

I'm a 50 year old married woman and a second year doctorate pharmacy student. I have a 25 year old daughter.

I've lost 26 lbs. since the first week in February using Weight Watchers. I stopped going to meetings and have just been following the plan since May.

I walk as my aerobic exercise (45-60 mins. 5-6x per week)-- there are lots of hills in my neightborhood. I lift free weights a couple of times per week. This summer I'm doing lots of yard work and house projects (my last free summer for a long time to come).

WW Smart Ones - Sante Fe Rice and Beans
I also like some of the Lean Cuisine meals because they have the WW points (6 points) listed on them. I really like to have the meatloaf occasionally. The meatloaf and mashed potatoes are really good, but the vegetable (usually green beans) isn't so good. I like the little taste of dessert that comes with the meal, too. This seems like more than 6 points to me.

I do like some of the Smart Ones -- quick and easy.

Night Time Snacking
air-popped popcorn sprayed with a little PAM regular or butter flavoring and a shake of salt

WW yogurt (key lime or lemon -- the slightly tart fruit is more satisfying to me) or any other non-fat yogurt of equal ounces

It's all about the low-point snacks!!
Nature's Own double fiber bread = zero points per slice

Most medium-sized summer fruits = 1 point each

ear of sweet corn = 1 point

WW special one Santa Fe Chicken = 2 points
I sometimes add an extra 1/4 black beans (1 point) and extra diced tomatoes (zero points) to give this a boost

Soy milk, light, chocolate (1 cup) = 2 points (this is really good)

what can I subsitute for an egg
I use Egg Beaters -- 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters is equal to one egg.

To make more than 12 muffins, use the mini muffin liners.

Diet Buddy
I've been on WW since February -- getting started is the hardest part. I don't particularly like daily journaling of what I eat, but it does help keep me on track.

I find that I eat some of the same food all the time -- breakfast and lunch mainly -- the evening dinner meal varies a bit more.

Don't give up everything you love to eat -- allow for it -- you might not get to have "all" of the favorite food that you want but you can certainly have it. I love peanut butter, so I have it most every day. I put 1 tablespoon on an apple/cinnamon rice cake and have it either for breakfast or after dinner -- counts 3 points: 1 for rice cake and 2 for the pb.

Bread -- I found Nature's Own double-fiber breads -- one slice counts zero (yes zero) points because of the db fiber and they taste pretty good. Occasionally though I want more of a non-diet bread and Nature's Own makes another bread with 3 gms of fiber and it counts as only one point per slice.

Egg Beaters -- 1/2 cup counts 2 points and makes great omelets and just plain scrambled eggs.

Chocolate -- I buy dark Dove chocolates (individually wrapped)-- they count one point per piece.

Applebee's restaurant has several WW friendly dinners with the points calculated -- even a dessert -- all are really good.
