How many POINTS is that?

So after the first meeting, we were both given a daily amount of points that we were allowed to eat everyday.  Tom gets 52 and I get 32...I said hello, how is that fair...lol  The lady explained it like this "Imagine a big SUV and a smaller car, the SUV needs more gas to run than the little car" I said "Hey, this little car needs a lot of gas to keep up with this SUV"

So needless to say I didn't get any extra points. They base the points on your age, your gender, your weight and height. 

So we were ready to go......with calculator in hand, we can do this!

Everthing has a point value, nowadays some foods you find in the store have the point value on the box or package, its a great helping tool.  Otherwise you get the following information off the package; you get how much fat, carbs, fiber and protein and the handy WW calculator will tell how many points that item is per serving.  Let me tell you, you will be surprised at what has A LOT of points and what doesn't.  You ask yourself do i really want that and use all those points? Tom and I asked that question a lot to each other this past week.  On a BRIGHTER note ALL fruits and veggies are ZERO POINTS...so you know what that means....you can eat til your hearts content on that stuff!!!

I think we did a pretty awesome job of tracking our points this week. Tom was actually very good at that aspect of that for everything he made sure he knew the points. 

So we will continue to count and see how we do when we weigh in once a week.
