It used to make me sad when I counted calories that one banana was more calories that some junk food LOL :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2698962 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 15:20:43 +0000 HappyBaker 2698962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I just saw this - CONGRATS!!! That is an amazing accomplishment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2697469 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 09:40:59 +0000 looch 2697469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I am! I have officially lost 10% of my body weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2697409 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 07:58:49 +0000 HappyBaker 2697409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: @looch: Are you guys still doing WW? I am and am loving it still! The Smart Points method definitely makes me choose healthier options that I did when it was Points Plus or regular Points in the past. So far I've lost 10lbs since Christmas and I'm thrilled about that! </p> <p>My staples are:<br /> - dark chocolate Hershey kisses - 1 pt each, so I have 2 at night as my "dessert".<br /> - Fiber One white bread - 2 slices for 3 pts<br /> - PB2 - I forget how many points but you can have way more than normal peanut butter!<br /> - Tuna - a whole can is only 1 point, I've actually been eating WAY too much tuna because of this, I need to find an alternative, it's my favorite lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2672309 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 06:43:12 +0000 looch 2672309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am doing it. I've been doing it since June and have lost 15 pounds...I am up a little because of the holidays, but I am allowing it before I buckle down again in January.<br /> My favorite breakfast uses silken tofu. It's super low in points, like 1 point for a 3 ounce serving and fruit is mostly 0, so I make a breakfast smoothie, with 2 servings tofu, a banana, frozen cherries, pineapple, a spoonful of ground flax and a spoonful of chia seeds (you have to count points for those, but it's minimal).</p> <p>My other staple is oatmeal. 4 points per serving. </p> <p>I also really like a sandwich made with those flat round bread things (sandwich thins, maybe they're called), a few slices of deli chicken breast (1 point) and a bit of mustard. My main issue is cheese, so rather than a slice of american for 4 points, I'll do a stick of low fat mozzarella on the side.</p> <p>I also discovered the yogurt dips, you can find those in the fridge cases in the produce section. I eat 2 teaspoons with a sliced cucumber, grape tomatoes and bell peppers.</p> <p>I'd love to hear what you come up with too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2672288 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 00:01:50 +0000 Boogs 2672288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Yum! I'm going to make that treat for myself right now! I could care less about dairy, but sweets are definitely my vice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2672136 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 15:56:26 +0000 mrswin 2672136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I just signed up this week as well but haven't had a chance to get started yet. I have done WW in the past and really liked it. I'm sure I will struggle with dairy and sweets but I know when I have done this in the past I get used to it after a couple weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2672113 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:55:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 2672113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: oh, also, I did ww when I was still nursing so I got 50 points a day. I think it might be harder now, ha.</p> <p>OPA dressings are amazing and so low in points!! I also found these choc covered rice cakes that were low in points and got my chocolate fix covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2672112 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:54:02 +0000 HappyBaker 2672112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Oh I didn't realize she puts points, that is awesome, thanks! </p> <p>@hellobeeboston: Yea um my two favorite things in this world are a glass of milk and chocolate, haha. I'm having the toughest time not having milk with every meal!! That snack looks AMAZING and I'm definitely going to follow you for more ideas, thanks so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2672107 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:47:46 +0000 hellobeeboston 2672107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I did smartpoints recently and did really well on it! If you like dairy or sweets you're in trouble. Haha. The dairy was hard on me but I did lose pretty quickly. I like that fresh fruit is 0 points now!!</p> <p>And agree with Boogs re: Skinnytaste! Great blog! So many good recipes. </p> <p>My fave sweet treat was a banana cut up with PB on it and a few mini chocolate chips!!</p> <p>I'm also gluten free and documented a bunch of my meals with their smart point values on Instagram at: gf_onadiet</p> <p>[attach=1584/16/oj0kbm.584x600.IMG_8168.PNG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2672052 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 13:36:45 +0000 Boogs 2672052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done it, but Skinnytaste adds smart points to all of her recipes online and in her cookbooks! Her most recent book has a bunch of breakfast ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-doing-ww-smartpoints#post-2672027 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 12:56:01 +0000 HappyBaker 2672027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just signed up for WW this week, +1 to getting an early start on New Year's Resolutions :-) I've done it before a long time ago but it was back when it was Points Plus, and Smart Points is totally different! </p> <p>If you are doing it now or have in the past (with smart points) I'd love to hear your favorite food ideas! I mostly need easy to bring to work breakfast ideas, and easy to pack lunch ideas. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
