:( Well, having a Mexican luncheon at school yesterday didn't do me any good. I'm drinking lots of water today. I just hope I will lose SOMETHING by Saturday when I go to weigh. I'm having a hard time getting motivated this time around, though.

So i have a craving for chocolate, and I think i might be able to have some self control now that i'm journaling everything, so I made some brownies, but used applesauce instead of vegatable oil. 1/3 cup veggie oil is 19 points, 1/3 cup applesauce is .5. HUGE savings. Ends up being 2.75 each brownie instead of nearly 4. Just hope they turn out edible. We'll find out in a half hour.

have you ever tried the No Pudge brownies? They sell the mix at Trader Joes and other stores in that genre. Basically it's a chocolate mix and you make it with non fat vanilla yogurt. They aren't bad... they just kinda taste like a snackwell's snack. Kinda too chewy. But they don't have many calories!

Hmmm... i'll have to see if any stores around me have them (we don't have Trader Joes in the area).

Verdict on my brownies: not too bad. More cakey texture. They're the chocolate chunk kind, so they might taste better once they're cooled and hardened up a bit.

Ok so the week before I gained 3 lbs. I was very upset. I spent a whole day working outside with forth graders in the 100 degree heat. I sure felt like I sweated at least 10 lbs. Yesterday when I weighed I was down 6 lbs. YEAH!! Lost the 3 I gained and 3 more. I am very excited because I am now down 30lbs total!!!!

Lost 3lbs my first week! I didn't think I lost anything, as I didn't actually start until this past Monday, and we pigged out all weekend. Pleasant surprise :)

For those fiending for chocolate-the SmartOnes chocolate cake dessert is very yummy, and only 3 points. I also got a box of the "Just 2 Points" bars at my meeting tonight-not bad.

Congrats on your 3lb weight lost.

I did the Breast Cancer Run/Walk. Lots of excerise to come home and play tennis for about 3 hours. I hope I lose even more on Tuesday. Good Luck to all.

I dont need to lose weight, i'm a buff stud pike!

then why post in this thread?

Only lost a pound in my first week (I did my own weigh in this morning). But that may also be due to the fact that WW totally flew out the window yesterday for Mother's Day and I had entirely too much crap.

I went to weigh in for the first time in two weeks and was shocked that I only gained .4 pounds. :eek: I guess I wasn't as bad as I thought but hubby and I are getting back in the swing now (We said this last week too but we really mean it this week)

:D

Hang in there everybody!

not too sure if this has been posted yet or not, (not enough time to read the whole thread) but Applebee's has signed a 5 yr agreement with WW and there is a new menu at Abee's. each food has the points listed and there are even desserts. I work at Abee's but have not tried anything yet but i hear some of the stuff is good...

:) :)

Good Luck to all in their weigh in this week. Congrats to all who did well this week. And, stay focused for all who slipped this week.
