[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 308447"] I'm wondering if you could break down your points into a certain number for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. Let the total equal what you are suppose to have per day...but get an idea of what you might like to eat per meal. Then create a list of three different choices that you like for each meal. Type up the list. For example: Breakfast 1.1 cup Kellogs Cereal, with 1/2 cup strawberries, 3/4 cup FF milk 2. Add something here with a similar number of points 3. Add something here with a similar number of points Lunch 1. Large salad, 2 tablespoons low fat dressing, mixed veggies on top, small soup 2. another choice 3. another choice Dinner 1. 3-4 ounces of lean chicken, 1/2 small baked potato, small salad 2. another choice 3. another choice 4. WW TV Dinner Snack 1. 100 Calorie popcorn snack 2. another choice 3. another choice This is more or less what someone suggested to me...and lo and behold, I have lost 2 pounds and it has been six days. I even cut back my exercise slightly. To be SPECIFIC about it... This is what my friend suggested that worked great for her and seems to be working for me: [B]Breakfast:[/B] One small bowl of cereal (preferably one that is high fiber and low sugar) and a small amount of fruit [B]Lunch: [/B]Large soup (Not a creamy soup) or Small soup and small salad [B]Dinner:[/B] 1 WW TV Dinner or One small dinner....the same size as a WW TV Dinner (keep an old tray and fill it up...using lean meat and veggies) [B]Dessert:[/B] 100 calorie popcorn or 100 calorie yogurt or Fruit My friend suggested that I go to the gym 3 or 4 days a week for 30 to 45 minutes of intense exericse. Then spend 2 or 3 days doing something light and fun like taking the dog for a walk or a walk after dinner with husband. I should exercise 6 days a week... a combination of some days intense exercise and some days "light." Try to not to worry too much about the points if they are stressing you out. It might be important to count carefully for a week or two to get a good idea of food intake...then create a list to follow that will put you in the point range. When doing this though, it might be a good idea to limit sugars and bread....this will help correct any slight errors with over-eating. Also...you CAN do this and it will be WELL WORTH IT in the END!!!!! Consider buying Shape magazine or something like that....and have FUN! Don't stress this out.... the weight will come off... Of course this Saturday, you need to miss your mtg. But come back the following Sat. The accountability is magical. Get some low point foods you really like and move your body (don't over do it...but move it regularly). Good luck....think positive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
