Question

Okay, y’all.  I am a NEWbie, just started today.Okay, y’all. I am a NEWbie, just started today. When I started the process I had 70 SP on Blue and I was like, “Awesome, this will be easy! ” But this morning I realized I accidentally put my weight at 508 when I actually weight 206 which dropped my SP to 26.  How the heck am I going to stay so low and still enjoy what I’m eating?! Anyone else have low SP? I’ve tried to research the best I can because I am fresh off the Keto diet which works for me but let’s be real, that is SUCH a hard way of eating to stay with. I am looking for some things y’all like to buy from the store, mostly snacks, that are lower on the SP and easy when I need to grab and go. (Bonus if you have pictures! ) To my peeps that enjoy alcoholic beverages, what do you order? (Yes, I know it’s better to avoid alcohol but I want to live my life, y’all! ) SOS! Thank you!  

Answer 1

I've been at 23 points since day 1 (Jan 14, 2019), down approx 63#, reached my Lifetime goal weight on Jan 6 this year, and am on weigh-in #4 tonight toward earning Lifetime status. Start every meal with zero-point foods and build your meal from there.  

Answer 2

I’m in 23 and I have points left over. It’s not that bad and remember why your on WW  that helps me  

Answer 3

I’m on green , I’m allowed 30 points per day but try to never use more that 26 , it’s challenging and takes some planning , I lost 50 lbs

Answer 4

Definitely doable. Just have to make sure you weigh and measure. Eat slow and enjoy each bite. Fill up on zero foods along the way. It’s an adjustment but after a couple weeks, the sweet cravings tend to lessen.  

Answer 5

I struggle to eat 23 points a day on a balanced healthy diet . 23 is more than enough if your eating correctly and not eating high fat / high carb meals

Answer 6

Did you lose anything on 70 daily points?  

Answer 7

I get 23 daily and have lost 13 pounds so far. I manage my points-i make it work. Its a lifestyle change. I love my alcohol! lol Michelob Ultra-3 points, red wine is 5 points. I see it as a reward at the end of my week-i have points leftover.  

Answer 8

Pinterest helped me out tons with this! Look up recipes on there, they have so many ideas. I only had 24 points I believe when I was on and I went from 205 to 180.  

Answer 9

Three words . Zero Point Foods! !  

Answer 10

I’m on blue and have 23 points. I’ve lost over 33 pounds in just over 5 months and am loving it. I’ve got 10-20 to go (up to my doctor). Try to remember that WW is NOT a diet; it is a lifestyle change. You CAN eat whatever you want but make sure you track, weigh and measure. I’ve come to realize and accept that I’ll be tracking, weighing and measuring my food for the rest of my life and I’m ok with that if it will keep the weight off. Tip: I plan my daily meals backwards. I start off with dinner/supper as that’s our “big” meal and then figure out lunch and breakfast. Remember that almost all veggies and fruits are 0 points. fresh, frozen, roasted, broiled, baked, etc. Try foods that are new to you. If you don’t like them, don’t eat them but if you do like them, they’ll give you more variety so you don’t get bored. I haven’t had alcohol since I joined WW BUT we’re heading off on Friday for a 2 week all inclusive vacation and I know I’m going to drink. I am also likely to gain a few pounds while away but will get right back on track as soon as we’re home. You CAN do this. There’s tons of support - here, on the WW app and at meetings if you attend them. You’ve got this!

Zero point foods are your best friends. Boil some eggs to keep for snacks, bulk your meals up with lots of veggies, have fruit and yoghurt for your dessert, etc. Takes practice but you’ll get there

Answer 12

You will do fine with 23-26 points daily. I lost 50 lbs with 23 points.

Look at all the zero point foods! Fruits and vegetables and eggs and fish and Chicken and Greek yogurt. The list goes on and on. Fill yourself up with all of those things in between meals or as add-ons to your meals.

I get 29 points a day. This morning I had coffee with fat-free half-and-half and sugar free flavored syrup. That was onlyone or two points for the half and half. Then I had two eggs that I popped in the microwave and put salsa on top. 0 points. Then I had blueberry two goodGreek yogurt with fresh blueberries and that was 0 points. For lunch I toasted a Joseph PiTA for one point and use two slices of sargento ultra-thin swiss cheese for 3 points an Oscar Myers roast beef 2 oz / 6 slices for one or two points and Kraft horseradish sauce for one point. I also had an individual bag of skinny pop for three points.

Answer 19

I get 23, and I'm on blue. It will go down more as you get closer to your goal.

Look into the green plan. You get more points but less 0 point foods. Green works for me as I don’t eat fish or eggs.  

Answer 21

It can be done. Just make wise choices

Answer 35

Incorporate more 0 point foods in your meals. Heard this weeks meeting is about this topic

Answer 36

26 is a good amount but I’m gonna be honest green might be a better choice. Fewer 0 point foods but more points overall. Making it easier and more flexible while preventing overeating of so called “zero point Foods”, which are calorie dense like eggs, chicken, and beans.  

Answer 37

There are a lot of free points on blue! Take advantage of those! I was worried too but if I am feeling munchy I grab some fruit or veggies to satisfy that but not waste points! I’ve also transitioned to basically only zero point meats so that helps!  

Answer 38

I have 23. This is my third week.  

Answer 39

Eat a lot of zero point food.  

Answer 40

It gets easier! You have to get used to it. I first started at 27, and struggled to stay within points. Now at 24, I have a good amount every day. Eats lots of protein to stay stuff!
