First Weight Watchers meeting

Today was my first weight watchers meeting. The meeting startedvwith my first weigh in, and I am a little embarrased to say that I weighed in at 295 lbs. Using my weight and a few other pieces of information (age, height, gender) I calculated that I get 42 points a day. I am a little worried about this, as that doesn’t really sound like a lot of food. I have a little book to keep track of what I eat during the day and to track the points, which I keep in another little book that has a listing of foods and their point values. It also has a little sliding card scale in it to help me figure out a foods point value based on its nutrition label. I think, this first week at least, is going to be tough, mainly because we have no food in the house and no money to go shopping. I fully plan to give this my best attempt and try to follow the plan, I am hoping to make it work, lose weight, and change my eating habits and life style to help maintain any weight loss I do achieve. I am also going to try to find the time, hopefully each night, to do some exercising via Wii Fit. Finding this time is also going to be very difficult, perhaps even more so than tracking my food and learning to eat better. Wish me luck!
