I eat lunch at school but the menu isn't 100%. I actually don't necessarily want the bracelets for me. I wanted to have my group make them together. Kind of team building.
Something I read in that YOU on a Diet book really spoke to me and that was the part about constantly thinking about food or planning it. I like the idea of the bracelet to sort of keep track without me thinking about it. Not sure it would work but feel I should give it a try. I am hoping with the corporate rates we still get online support/tools.

You can sign up for the message boards for free (without access to the online system) - it's very different than here, that's for sure. But it can be a good support mechanism.
As far as points, in the new system (introduced in December), I think the low end of points is 18. And most people I would believe would be under 30. I'm not sure how helpful that is in trying to plan for bracelets. Your points also decrease as you lose weight, so I would think you'd want to build that flexibility in.

Thanks! I was trying to make sure I'd have enough supplies. Do you know of any  renegade WW  websites/forums that I can direct people to for additional support?
I am the workplace "go-to-girl" so I am trying to put together some helpful info.

I've finally been able to get the mind over matter thing working again and got to working out again. Been going at it pretty well for the last 4 or 5 days and I can tell a difference in the way that I feel. Just sort of tough sometimes to just put it out of my mind that I can barely breathe while I'm trying to finish up another set on the weight bench.
Since the weather has been nice I've been able to get out and walk a bit in the mornings which hopefully will help a bit as well. It usually does.
Still, I've lost yet another couple of pounds. I guess I know that I'll probably lose a bit before I put on more muscle weight but I don't know where I'm losing the weight from to tell you the truth. The scale I've got measures body fat % and this morning it had me at 8%. That's pretty lean. Must be losing more of that fat I've got stored between my ears again.
Anyway, I'm struggling but I'm still plowing a trail forward. Go IowaMan Go!

If I lie down on the floor beneath you I bet you will either be doing lots more pushing or a lot less getting up
I am down 3.2 lbs this week.

I really need to find my give-a-damn. I think perhaps I'll have veggies for dinner tonight.

I will be missing tomorrow at the pool and probably the rest of the week... Hopefully next week I'll be able to get back on track!

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th so I'm not even going to think about stepping on the scale then, I need all the good luck I can get.
Still sort of struggling to even keep my weight steady but I'm still giving it the best I've got. Got a bit of added incentive if I can gain the weight that I need.

Well I went swimming for the first time in years, which was great fun and I can see me doing it more often. Only down side is that now for some reason I can't stop sneezing.
But it was great to do something for once, especially now I don't get so much walking everyday through having a car.

I've been absolutely terrible ever since Easter with my workouts. Sort of screwed up my good knee then and I've used it as an excuse to be lazy.
This last week though I've got in more physical activity while coaching the kids baseball team than I have in an awfully long time. It's not helping me put on weight but I can tell that it is helping as far as getting me into a bit better shape.
