Any WW girls on?

OK, I think I get 20 points and then I have 35 flex points/week.

How do you normally divide them up?  Can you give me an example of what you eat for a day?

Thanks!

(so looking forward to having a carbohydrate tomorrow - south beach diet is driving me crazy!)

Re: Any WW girls on?

  • I never use my 35 weekly points...so I don't know!
  • Can you share your 20 points/day eating?

  • I usually have a 2 egg white, high fiber english muffin with lowfat cheese (2.5 points).

    A low point lunch (pasta and chicken) or a sandwich.

    A Lean Cuisine thrown in at some point.

    For dessert, I have 1 point worth of Breyers fat free ice cream. I don't use my flex points unless it's a special occassion (and hungry isn't a special occassion).

  • i misread this...I thought you meant how do people divide up the 35 weekly points...der.
  • I never use my flex points... but I get lots of points b/c of nursing....

    if I had 20 pts I would break it up like this

    Breakfast=4pts
    snack=1pt
    Lunch=6pt
    snack=1pt
    dinner=8pts

    20 points?  I'm screwed when I quit nursing.  How tall are you ladies w/20 points?
  • 5'5

    Should I have more?

    Sorry my reply was not very encouraging.  I'm just surprised.  I have 34 points (and ate all but 8 by noon today...I was famished today).  I didn't know nursing added so much.
  • I don't know how you can do any kind of diet when nursing!  I give you huge credit!  I was completely starving and looked forward to my giant ice cream sundae every day :)

    LOL, yes!!  While nursing DD, I had a constant craving for oreo cookie milkshakes.  Trying to resist this time.  Good luck!!

  • I only get 20 too, and here is what I typically do.

    Breakfast - WW english muffin w/low fat cheese & egg sub. (3 pts)
                     Sometimes a glass of milk (which adds 2) or water

    I don't eat a morning snack, cause I have 2 cups of coffee, with splenda & sugar free french vanilla creamer...and all that is 0 pts. That helps keep me full until lunch.

    Lunch I try to keep around 3-5 pts, tuna sand. (on nature's own wheat light, 1 pt for 2 slices), or other low pt items.

    For snack I will usually have a 100 calorie pack ritz mix or something, all the 100 cal pack things are 2 pts. Or I'll have carrots w/fat free ranch (1 pt)

    Dinner all depends on points I have left. Here are a few things I can think of off the top of my head I eat a lot of

    Zuccini - 0pts & I flavor with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray (0) & soy sauce (0)
    Fat free hot dogs - 1 pt each
    Hot dog & ham buns, Sara Lee wheat light - 1pt per bun
    Salad with tomatoes & sometimes fat free shred cheese (1) and fat free ranch (1)

    Do you have a point calc or slider? That has helped me a lot, especially at finding things that aren't WW brand, but still low points.

    Also, here is a website that is kinda cool, with recipes & stuff.
