Hi all - I'm Amanda. I am 30 years old and a full-time event planner, full-time wife and doggy mom, and part-time grad student working on my MBA. I have been moderately successful following Weight Watchers, and will continue to do so with more focus on calories and micros.

Sounds delicious!

I usually eat a lighter breakfast because I'm not too hungry in the morning (around 200), about 300-400 for lunch, 400-500 for dinner because I like bigger dinners and the rest I use on filling snacks/mini-meals.

I went up a pound this week, but that's to be expected since I "dropped" four the week prior.

I completely estimate on that. I really don't hink on additional 10 calories or so is going to hurt me. Measuring before is fine, but measuring after and subtracting the difference is a little obsessive in my opinion. If it works for others great, but I don't want to make a lifestyle change of measuring every single thing.

As a Wisconsinite I got really excited at the thread topic

I work a full time desk job so I have my activity set to sedentary since z large majority of my day is spent in front of a computer. However, I serve tables here and there on the weekends, but maintain my activity level. I don't log it as exercise but I also don't worry if I go over my calorie goal that day by 100-200…

Are we doing half points, for example if we drank 10 cups of water but didn't walk 30 minutes we'd get half?

I weighed in yesterday for my starting weight, do you want my weight today for the "1st Weigh-In" column?

Almonds - Blue Diamond Habenaro BBQ are my favorite! Reduced Fat Crunchy PB with Apples Cottage cheese with triscuts (Black pepper are my favorite) Grapes Fiber One bars Veggies and greek yogurt dip ('m a fan of Oikos Spinach, Dill Feta dip) Beef Jerky - 15g of protein for 1oz, but watch the sodium! Cut cheeses and meats…

As I said, the original recipe calls for it to be warm, but I prefer it cold. I substituted feta for cotija cheese since its impossible to find in my grocery store

bump for ideas

I work an office job as well, and we don't have nearly as many options with bringing in kitchen electrics so I usually eat: Cottage cheese with triscuts Apples or celery with peanut butter - my current favorite Almonds Greek yogurt Granola Bars Hard Boiled Eggs Veggies and hummus Cut up cheeses and meats

Thanks all for the suggestions

If anyone has any beginning weight lifting routines that worked for them, please share or add me. I'd love more help and advice.

Bump for later. I've been looking far and wide for good crock pot recipes

Oh yum!

Looks great. Thank you

All are welcome to add me. I started my weight loss in April, and am currently down 20lbs, with another 65 to go.

Awesome breakfast: Thomas 100 calorie english muffin, 2 tbsp peanut butter, bananas and honey.

Steamed broccoli so its still crisp with a little garlic butter and salt

I sometimes take a 10oz can and mix with buffalo sauce and put on a tortilla with spinach for lunch
