Weight Watchers

I joined Weight Watchers two weeks ago tomorrow. The first week I lost 5.6 lbs. Not too surprising. I have a lot to loose. I am watching what I eat more. Eating some fruits and veggies for a change. WW has two plans, Flex and Core. On Core there is a set list (albeit a rather long one) of things you can eat. You can eat as much as you want (within reason). On Flex, you can eat whatever you want. Everything, and I mean everything has a point value (though some things like veggies, salsa, diet drinks, etc. are all zero) and you stay within you point value for the day. You get an extra 35 points to use throughout the week. Since I'm a big guy, I get a lot of points, 39. A slice of bread has 2 points, a beer or glass of wine 2 points. A sausage and egg biscuit from McDonalds has 12 points so I don't do that often though I could if I wanted. I would just have to watch it for the rest of the day. It seems like a really good program. So far so good.
