Week Eight

It is so exciting to see that scale go WEIGH DOWN!!!! Charles and I both commented that eating healty is much more satisfying. I can remember when I was eating any and everything I wanted...and I seemed to always be hungry. But now...my meals are enough and I am not wanting more. AMAZING!!!

I was doing some searching on the Internet looking up receipes and found these great sites. HINT: I went to Google.com and entered: (click on links below)

Weight Watcher Points for McDonalds

Weight Watcher Points for Applebees

Weight Watcher Points for Wendy's

OK...so you get the POINT (no pun intended!)

If you don't know how many points you should have a day...WW Point Information.

WOW...found an online calculator that helps determine the points of most foods by checking out the labels...check it out!!! WW Point Calculator

And finally...OMG Great Site Generic Food Weight Watcher Points

Week Seven

WOW! Three more pounds! I am loving Weight Watchers! The meetings allow me to be accountable as I weight, listen to others' experiences, and be encouraged!

My recipe for the week!

2 cups broccoli crowns 100 calories

2 T light mayonnaise 70 calories

1 cup grapes cut in halves 110 calories

2 T sunflower seeds 100 calories

Mix all together. 1/2 cup serving = 1 Point

When looking for a picture, found a variation of the recipe.

February 9, 2009

Well...it has been two weeks since I posted. It has been a very sad week. I lost my dad, Clarence Edward Dossett. He was buried in Natchez, MS on Saturday...next to my mom. He was a great dad!

OK...I guess my post for this week is...you CAN go through emotional events and still stay true to the WW plan. Making a choice to follow the points was made before I found myself hungry...or staring at plates of food provided by precious church friends after the service.

I weighed today...2 more gone! (oh...and I lost 2 last week)

Weight Watchers Meeting January 27, 2009

I am enjoying going to the WW meetings, listening to the successes of other members, listening to Reva (our leader) share WW tips and motivational lecture. I lost 2 1/2 pounds this week! YEA!

Recipe of the week:

Chocolate cake mix (any brand)

I can diet cola (any brand)

Mix and pour into muffin pan. Each cupcake is equal to 1 Point. Put a dollup (love that word) of Fat Free Cool Whip...HEAVEN!

Before Picture of the Two of Us

Charles liked my site and since he is working towards a weigh down in 2009 also, he asked me to add him to the blog. So...here is OUR before picture. As you can see on the Tickers, he is doing quite well! We are on our weigh DOWN!!! I'll give my Weight Watchers results on Monday.

Get up and Walk
