WW question...

How many points did you get per day? I get 21 and I feel like it's just not enough!!

I get 19 a day and I know what you mean.  Take a look at the filling foods list to get some ideas on snacks that will make you feel fuller longer.  Since it's cold here I usually like to have a 1/2 cup of oatmeal with honey.  It's only 2 pts and keeps me happy for a while.  Stick with it, I have only been on it two weeks and have lost 6lbs.

I got 21 also.  Are you just starting?  The first 5 days felt like I was starving but just make sure you DRINK DRINk DRINK water....and make sure you have snakcs in between... here is what i normally ate....LOW SUGAR Oatmeal, banana or apple or cheese stick for a snack, then a sandwich for lunch with eith chips or veggie sticks or a salad.  MY sandwich was on WW bread with 2 very thin slices of turkey or ham and 1 slice of regular cheese.  And then I would have a kashi bar in the afternoon like 3ish... I would normally have a piece of fruit with me for the ride home if i knew dinner wasn't going to be til 7ish... for dinner we normally have baked chicken or pork chop and a veggie and rice or potato...just remember you can eat.. just watch the protions..

Yes, I am just starting. I ate a bowl of capt crunch thinking cereal would not be that many points and it totalled 9 points! That only gave me 12 left for the whole day! Guess I need to see how many points something has before I eat it. I didn't even know they had ww bread. Going to the store after work!

I started at 21 and as I lost weight, I ended up with 19.  It was very hard to do with so few points, but once I figured out what was filling and what wasn't worth my points, it got a lot easier.

I am on maintenance now so I get 20, but when I was losing I got 18 points.  It is hard, but I find the key is to snack between each meal so that I am never STARVING.  A typical breakfast for me is a Fiber One bar which is 2 points because I go to the gym first thing.  If I'm not going to the gym I have a bowl of Cheerios with 1/2 a banana which is 4 points.

Then I have a snack around 10:00 or 10:30 that is 0-2 points.  Then lunch, then another snack aroudn 3:30 or 4:00, then dinner and then I usually try to have enough points for a 1-2 point evening snack.

WW is all about making healthy choices.  Definitely check points values before you eat.  For example, your bowl of Captain Crunch was 9 points where a bowl of Cheerios or some other healthier cereal would just be 3 points.

Good luck!  It gets much easier after the first week or two.
