I'm eating a weight watchers choc ice cream sammich

dontwantaname wrote:OK.
How many less calories?

It's only two points, and a skinny cow ice cream sammich is 4. I think it only has 100 calories.

I've probably told you this but the ASU college inn has the best cookies! The library director's association had meetings there several times over the years. For afternoon break, they served yummy cookies.

Grilled Chicken & squash. more squash, less chicken. It was good though.

We had squash last night. I love it cooked with onions.

I like it too. luckily vegetables are 'free' on weight watchers. (most of them anyway)

We had a veggie dinner last night. Squash, mustard greens, stewed potatoes, navy beans and corn bread. Not much WW would approve of considering I fried the squash!

I'm going to remember that next time I'm there and tell them you sent me.

Daughter who is 16 doesn't have exams, she has EOCs, end of course tests. The EOCs start tomorrow. Is she studying? Nooooo, she is listening to Tommy James and the Shondells! Pop works across generations I suppose. Sorry, she is listening to Click 5 not Tommy James and the Shondells. Sigh.....

It would have been okay if it was Tommy James. Click 5 - make her study!

Oh, I googled them, they are new, not old.

I did too. They are cute. At least they have good taste in music!

I'm not a fan of weight watchers. IMO there is too much emphasis on points, with too little on good nutrition.

I must have seen a picture of you by now.

Oooh!!Picture me as thin too please.

I think the new plan emphasizes health & nutrition better. it accounts for protein, carbs, protein and fat, along with encouraging you to eat more veggies and fruit.

I'm eating a lot healthier since I started.

If I'm not mistaken, from what I've read, it's fiber, not protein.

crap. I shouldn't have said I needed to lose weight. hmmph.

Well, the old plan was big on fiber. I know that you could find things with less points that were clearly less healthy easily.

pooflady wrote:If I'm not mistaken, from what I've read, it's fiber, not protein.

I forgot fiber.

The new system calculates points from fat, carbs, protein & fiber.

Yep. I remember that plan. Now something high in fiber might help reduce points, but something with really high carbs will jack the points back up. It's a little harder to fool now I think.

My friend's calculator doesn't have protein on it.

He has a new one and it just has calories, fat and fiber. It doesn't have carbs either. Maybe it's different online.

Are you sure it isn't the old plan?

It must suck for the Jets fans.

I don't know, I guess I have always been more a fan of spacecraft than aircraft. And, helicopters can land a lot more places.

dontwantaname wrote:OK

You aren't?

Sure!


Truth is I was in good shape in my former career but since moving to the land of BBQ I have put on a good 25-30 lbs.

They just changed it again from points to points+ or something like that. They re-did all the points values of the food and the number of points you get in a day. I think it was just at the end of the year/beginning of this year.

so you are really hairy and partial to pink?

dontwantaname wrote:Isn't that normal for our age?

Very few people in their 50's are still at the weight they were at 25 or 30.

Doesn't mean I have to like it. I'm just to lazy to do anything about it.
