my first weigh-in!

[Guest guest]

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.

Happy and not hungry,
