So I am new to blogging experience, and couldn't figure out how to add my loss. Which was 0 cupcakes. However I didn't gain any, so that is good. So if someone could add tahat for me, that would be fabulous. Thanks. My vote is that we keep going. I finally got my head in the game, don't quit on me now. I've done my shopping for the week, and am ready to play. These are some of the meals that we will be having:
Tonight: Spgetthetti (spelling?)
Barilla Protein enriched noodles Noodles 4 pts for 2 Oz
Ground Beef 1/2 cup 3 pts drained the fat
Sauce 0 pts Yum! I put lots of yummy chunky veggies to make it taste good and add flavor.
Italian Salad: Lettuce 0 pts, Red Onion 0 pts, Olives (10) 1 pt, fat free italian dressing 1 pt
Dessert: Fat Free Sugar free Pudding w/ Fat free Milk 2 Pts, Cool whip 1 pt 2 table spoons

A couple of fun suggestions: Oscar Meyer Center Cut bacon. It is only 1 point for TWO slices, and it tastes exactly like normal bacon! You'll be shocked. I eat it with an egg, 1 oz of lower fat cheese, and I have a yummy, very filling 5 point breakfast.
Another: If you go to walmart - where they have their cream cheese, you'll find some bagels. They are just a little smaller then normal sized bagels, and have 5 in a pack. They have to be refrigerated. Are you ready for this? They are 1 point for a WHOLE bagel! So then if you can even get the regular WHIPPED (Its less calories) cream cheese. You can have a full serving of cream cheese, 2 Tbs for 2 points. It tastes so great, you feel like your cheating, and yet your only eating a 3 point meal! :0 Add some berries or a kiwi, and its complete.

Well there are a couple of ideas for this week. I'll put more next week. Have a good one.

Hey Everyone...

Hey everyone.. we just need your input on the blog. It doesn't seem like anyone is really participating, so I dunno if it is benefitial or if we should keep it going anymore. We need feedback because we cant keep this going all by ourselves. So please give us your feedback to whether or not we should keep this going. Thanks everyone.

Hello everyone! My name is Samantha (Sam) and I am a friend of Mindy. Long ago in a land far away (actually just Sugar House) I worked with her husband. Then his brother Russell married my best friend, and now the rest is, as they say, history. I work for Stampin' Up! and am a S.ervice A.ccount M.anager. We call our selves SAMs. Funny huh! I'm Sam the SAM. I am married to Mike and we are coming up on our fourth anniversary in October. Wow! We don't have any children, but would like to have some someday (soon if possible). I served a mission in Alaska, where I actually lost 50lbs. That is the closest I have been in the last 10 years to the size I want to be. I have been on the weight loss merry-go-round for about 12 years. I am currently doing weight watchers at my work. I'll be honest, I'm not doing great. But I would like to be. That is why I'm joining this group. The more accountability I have, the better. My goal is to get rid of 90 cupcakes, however that is a big bite all at once. So for now I am working on getting rid of 20 cupcakes. I look forward to getting to know all of you and working with you on our goals!

Sam :)

P.S.

This is my "Skinny" picture. It was taken only a couple weeks after I came home from the mission. Its my goal to look like this again.

Cafe Rio Chicken Salad

Okay here is what I figured the Cafe Rio Chicken salad to be...
Black Beans (abt 1/2 cup)- 2 pts
Rice (abt 1/2 cup)- 2 pts
Lettuce- 0 pts
Chicken (abt 6 oz.)- 6 pts
Tortilla-4
Creamy dressing (1 Tbsp)-1 pt
Total: 15 pts
* I figured this without guac, and without the little chippys that they put on the top. Also its only with 1 Tbsp of dressing, if you use more than that obviously you need to double the points. I figured that out of the weight watchers foodlist book.. so it may not be EXACTLY right but it is pretty darn close.. and delicious! It's kinda a lot of points, but may be good for a splurge meal or something.. Keep up the goodwork everyone!

Keep Up the Good Work!!

Good Morning! I hope everyone is doing GREAT with eating! I have been super motivated the last few days, so I just wanted to share that with everyone! I hope you all do GREAT this week! Keep up the good work!! The meal idea was great! Hopefully everyone will post some more this week so we can all try new things! I am going to post the Cafe Rio Chicken salad.. I figured out the points.. so stay tuned I am going to do it after work! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Weigh-In #3

So I have been struggling with this keeping track of the points, I guess I'm just to lazy to figure out all the points for each meal I make?! So right now I am trying to watch my portion sizes and make sure that I eat healthier than I normally do, until I get back up and going! I hope all of you are staying strong! (I know Debbie is on a cruise right now) Well I don't even know if any of you are checking the blog or if it even helps to have one. I need some feed back! I feel like I'm the only one posting anything! I need some meal ideas too!
