First weigh in

I stepped on the scale, fearing the worst.
Then the lady pulled out a bookmark and stuck a little gold star on it. I gasped. You get a gold star when you lose 5 lbs.

I lost 6 lbs this week!

And I did it drinking soda, eating fried chicken, m&ms and a whole Chinese Buffet.

How? 1 can of soda is 4 pts. (I have 38 to get through)
1 piece of chicken is 5 pts. I had one this week, instead of one/day.
1/4 c. M&Ms (yes I measured it) is 5 pts.
And the Chinese buffet? I made sure 90% of the plate was veggies, broccoli and mushrooms. I took 2 plates. One of Vegetables with some bits of meat and one with 6 shrimp, half an orange, an eggroll (5 pts) and a cream puff (my indulgence)

Ate a lot of carrots and apples this week. More next week.

That's wonderful, valar! I'm just a name on a friendslist, but I'm proud of you. ^^

I have a lot of apples that have probably gone bad and carrots that've gone stale. Such a bitch to peel; I've got to start doing it on the table.

I used to go to ww, and measuring is how you, well, it's an accurate measurement of points. Good luck on your journey! Hopefully I'll get my shit together and join you soon. Alas, I'm poor and cheap, so I'm flying loose and dangerous without any meetings. Should buy a scale though, just for points adjustment.
