B: Kashi go lean cruch w/ blueberries - 4 or 5? (seems like a lot for cereal....) S: 15 FF jalapeno pringles - 1 pt L: ham sandwich D: taco bell - it's our "cheat night" - not sure what yet though. Depends on how weigh in goes.
*is it wrong that the better weigh in goes the worse I eat on cheat night????
E: none planned - I'm starting to put this in my thread to shame myself. I am doing heavy cleaning today so that kind of counts, right?

L: South Beach wrap meal thing (4 points) - highly recommend - really good
S: 100 calorie pack (2 points)
S2 if needed: 2 mini bagels (2 points); cream cheese (1 point)
D: mashed potatoes (8 points) & green peas (0 points??) <-- anyone know how many points those are? the peas from the can? According the nutritional info, they're 0 points, but according to the WW food guide, they're 1 point per serving or something. Any ideas?
E: Bodypump + some cardio if I get around to it (+4 points)
Blubirdie - I always go by the nutritional information on the food I eat if it is available rather than the ww points value since they are just an average of different brands and stuff. If the can says 0 (which is what i usually come up with on canned peas) then go with 0.

But what if you eat the whole can? The can has 3.5 servings in it? And don't laugh at me for eating a whole can of peas. I peas.

I asked my leader this specifically about baby carrots because 10 are 0 pts - I asked what if I ate 50. She said that her opinion is not the same as WW but that as long as it was a zero point veggie to eat all you want. None of us gained our weight from eating too many low cal veggies. She said that on other stuff - like Wasa bread is zero, that the same rules don't apply. I think the "official" WW stance is that you can eat up to 3 servings & still count it as zero. And i HATE those little peas but I feel the same about green beans - i'll eat a whole can easy.
On a side note - which SB wraps did you get? And I still can't find whipped peanut butter -do you by chance know the brand? I hate to keep bugging you about it but i found some that is tolerable but not great & I need an alternative to my egg beaters breakfast. Cereal just isn't cutting it.

I like your leader's rationale. I'm going to use it. If I start gaining or plateauing, I'll start counting it differently.
The whipped pb is peter pan. I can only find it at HEB here in Austin. If you can't get it, I can buy you some and send it to you. (I always buy it in bulk, just in case I can't make it to an HEB). And it's no bother at all!
I tried the Deli Ham & Turkey SB wrap. It was really good and I'm not hungry yet! (I usually hit the snacks around 3 and it's 4 and I'm still going strong. I guess those 22 g of protein & 15 g of fiber really work.)
Laken- here's the lasagna recipe. I wasn't a huge fan, but DH loved it.
Buffalo Chicken Lasagna
12 WW lasagna noodles, uncooked 2 lb. skinless chicken breast, cubed 3 cups spaghetti sauce 1 cup mild buffalo wing sauce (I used hot) 15 oz. nonfat ricotta cheese (I used just under 32oz) 1/2 cup egg substitute, or 4 eggs (I just used 1 egg) Shredded FF mozzarella
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Cook chicken over medium high heat for 4 minutes or until almost done. Stir in sauces and water. In a small bowl, combine ricotta and egg. Spray 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of the pan. Arrange 4 noodles over the sauce. Spread more sauce and then a layer of the ricotta mixture. Add another layer of sauce. Repeat the whole process until you end up with a layer of sauce. Cover and bake for 70 minutes. Uncover and put cheese on top. Bake for another 15 minutes uncovered. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
