Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Congratulations Marie! Candace _____ From: Marie Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 11:57 AM To: Serious-Weight-Watchers Subject: my first weigh-in! Hi everyone! I lost 4 pounds on my first weigh-in! That confirms it for me that my POINTS target was not right for me. For those of you that missed my post, I am nursing my 13 month old son 2 times a day and walking 20-30 minutes a day. Well, the Week 1 book said that nursing moms could only use the higher points target if breastmilk was the SOLE form of nutrition for the child. So, I didn't even ask.(Since eats solids 3X a day, plus snacks!) Well, after 4 days, I was STARVING and had used all my flex points. (and then some) I asked around on this list and the WW message boards, and the consensus was to add 2 points per nursing session. I think they were right - for the week, I went EIGHTEEN points over my flexpoints and still lost 4 lbs! Plus, it's TOM for me. Can't imagine how much I would have lost if I had stuck to the regular plan and it's wasn't the TOM for me. But, obviously, that's not healthy for me. I went under the 200 mark, but I am going to keep my POINTS target at the 200-224 range (+4 for nursing) until I can start counting activity points.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Good to know. I'm nursing my 18 mo ( I believe she'll nurse til she's 30 yo if she has her way) and wondered how that affects the points. I'll have to try my allotted amount for a couple days and see how it goes then otherwise try the 2per add on. Nice to see it works for you. jpj my first weigh-in! Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 You know the first weigh-in for me was a loss 4 pounds, and the second week was 3 pounds, then it slowed down. It could be that your point target was correct. You should give it another week or two to see. Of course I wasn't nursing at the time. My doctor advised me (on all of my 4 children) that if my milk started drying up, then I wasn't eating enough or I wasn't getting enough water. I never had that problem, so I continued what I was doing. You might want to consult with your doctor.
