I am making adjustments this week and am hoping to see the benefits on the scale Saturday.

The WW Pointsplus system allows me 65 points each day. It is A LOT. I typically cannot eat that many points. Well, after the last couple of weeks without loss, I was curious, so I tracked a day where I ate 65 points in spark people. I was SHOCKED to find that I ate 2800 calories that day. Other days at 65 were similar. There is NO WAY I can lose weight eating that much. I just can't. Maybe other can, I cannot. I am lowering my daily points values to be more in line with a 2000 - 2300 calorie diet (which is what I think is appropriate for me at this weight, and from my past experience). I am also considered leaving WW after my 3 mos. is up and using Spark People or My Fitness Pal.<br /><br />Anyway, I feel much better to have discovered this...now I don't feel as crazy as I was feeling the last 2 weeks!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070528807624659363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486101634414115513.post-46360860580853723572012-03-05T12:49:48.697-08:002012-03-05T12:49:48.697-08:00Oh yeah, I'm fighting!Oh yeah, I'm fighting!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070528807624659363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486101634414115513.post-21653456136762610172012-03-03T22:35:42.574-08:002012-03-03T22:35:42.574-08:00Good luck with this week!

Some weeks are slower than others, but all movement in the right direction is good! <br />I have been reading weight loss blogs for a while now and while I do not personally use Weight Watchers, I got to see the transition from Points to Points Plus via quite a few bloggers. Overwhelmingly, people chose to continue to track with the old Points system. Zero point foods are a great idea in theory, but the reality is that nothing except water has zero calories. Since weight loss is, essentially, just calories in vs. calories out, ideally WW should be educating on the bigger picture - on moderation: yes, a banana is a better choice than a 100 calorie pack of cookies ... but overdoing it on "free" foods can be just as bad.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070528807624659363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486101634414115513.post-49641482753019975012012-03-03T21:08:17.708-08:002012-03-03T21:08:17.708-08:00How many calories is Weight Watchers saying you sh...How many calories is Weight Watchers saying you should consume in a day? Have you ever calculated your BMR?<br /><br /> http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/<br /><br />The BMR is the amount of calories your body would burn if you did NOTHING all day. That link also tells you how you can then take that BMR and calculate how many calories you should eat to MAINTAIN your current weight. You could then come up with your own daily caloric intake by figuring out how many pounds your aiming to lose a week (a pound = 3500 calories) and subtracting that amount from your maintenance calorie number. That's what I did and it working pretty well for me. Sorry if that all sounds confusing...that link will explain it all. : ) I'll be praying that you find a method that works for you and you start seeing the pounds drop off.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070528807624659363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486101634414115513.post-13231700668833024292012-03-03T10:26:19.910-08:002012-03-03T10:26:19.910-08:00Fight!
