I just joined this week and there is no way i can eat to reach my points-
It comes up calculated to 43- I heard that they recently upped everyones by about 8 points, so i dropped my number to 35-
I have been eating more this week while trying to eat better, than i usually come close too-
I am usually a 1 meal kind of guy, and always fairly healthy- I regularly go all day- sometimes a snack in the afternoon- Bad for metabolism i guess is my problem-
Eating the way i normally do its rare i could see myself clearing 20-25pts-
This week I have been trying to do fruit for breakfast and lunch and a healthy dinner coming in at a total of 26 pts or so
WHY THE HELL AM I FAT?!?
I dont eat crap- Cut out fastfood a year ago except the ocasional every couple weeks- Eat a ton of chicken, No Soda in 10 years- Its always water / Iced tea
I can't see myself losing much on weight watchers unless there is something I am just not doing right-

I know weight watchers sounds crazy, but it works. Don't really know how, but it does. I am supposed to have like 36 points per day. When I first started I thought man, I can't eat this much food and lose weight. Well I gave it the benefit of the dout, and at the end of the week the weight was gone. I think it has something to do with the types of food you eat. It teaches you what kind of foods to eat. When I would get hungry I would go for the fruits because they are low to no points. You can eat whatever you want, but eat the wrong things and your shot for the day. Knowing this I would eat foods with low points so I could eat more. Crazy as it may sound just hang in there. It wont take long for you to see results. Also stick with this forum. You will find more help here than you can imagine.
