Mom and I weighed in this morning.....

.... it was not pretty! We were both at historical highs - which I have been at every time I have started a new initiative, typically at the start of the year - which is just a big bummer. But, I like the new "Power Points" plan and I feel like I may be successful using the online and I-Pod tracker etc - we shall see. Mom is more of a paper person, so she bought the new Points Calculator and tracker - so I think that will be helpful for her. I think the meetings will be good for both of us and paying $40.00 a month is certainly a motivator. The leader was pretty good - not as cheesy as most - so that worked well for both of us I think. We shall see. Regardless of whether I keep up with actual meetings or not - I will continue to weigh in with the goal of becoming a Lifetime Member. The way that works is if you reachg your goal weighta nd keep within 2 lbs of your goal weight for 6 weeks in a row at weigh ins, you become a lifetime member and don't have to pay anymore, as long as youy stay within 2 lbs of your goal weight. If you go up - you pay again. So - that is good incentive for me I think.

Just a tip - Traget Superstores are selling the Smart Ones (Weight Watchers frozen meals) for 5 for $9.00 and the weekly trackers they give away for free each week at the meetings have a coupon - so you can stock up and never have an excuse because you don't have time to eat right. The only thing to note is that you will need to calculate the point besed on the new system - the packaging out there on sale is for the old points system - but it is an easy conversion - just plug in the 4 numbers and go!

Just had a turkey sandwich on Ezekiel bread with 1/2 tsp of light mayo and a clementine orange. Totally stuffed and just 6 points! Love it!

Kathy - did you decide to do WW?

Have a great week everyone! No excuses!
