Here's what it looks like in the WW calculator:

Serving - Ingredient - Points
1 cup cherry tomato(es) - 0 points
1/4 cup Dole Green Onions - 0 points
1/4 cup cooked kidney beans - 0.5 points
1 cup hearts of palm chopped - 0 points
1/2 cup cooked broccoli - 0 points
2 cup lettuce - 0 points
5 Tbsp Fresh Choice® Pepperoncini - 0.5 points
10 Tbsp Carapelli Balsamic vinegar - 0 points
___________________________________
Subtotal 1 point!

I actually increase the cherry tomatoes to a whole 12 oz. (like a dry pint) and the hearts of palm to like 2 cups for an additional point and the whole thing comes out to 2.5 points and is VERY filling!

Cathrine you are not a cow! I'm 5'3", currently at 170 and even though I am top heavy (36d+) I can't continue to blame the weight on my chest. I mean each breast cannot weigh 17 pounds!

 

I'm working out and watching what I eat. I've had great success with Free Diet Plans at SparkPeople to really become aware of what I'm eating. I'm down 10 pounds so if I can do it , so can you!

My classic lunch salad is: mixed green steamed broccoli egg whites green onions 1/4 c. kidney beans (this is the only item int eh salad where you need to what the amount) hearts of palm peppercinis (I have no idea how to spell this) green beans cherry tomatoes tons and tons of balsamic vinegar The whole salad is like 1 WW point... aka no fat, very few calories and lot of fiber!

I love salad. I do tuna on my salad. this week I made chili for the cold weather and put that onto the salad. How many points was that. No dressing

Checking them out right now. I was told my twins weigh about 15lbs. But I like my girls that is the one thing that I would love to keep

Oooh - I love tuna! Depending on the chili and the amount it was probably only an additional 1 - 4 points. Not bad at all for a big, delicious meal Have you tried the 1 point taco soup/veggy chili? I am obsessed with it. Literally. In fact my plan is to go home and make it AGAIN tonight! My poor DH is SO sick of it!

That makes sense. Do you think it's all the fiber? I know sometimes when I take Beano with a big meal like that it helps. But I do not have IBS so it may be different for you. What about cooked veggies - are those better?

10 pounds is awesome! Congrats! I like SparkPeople a lot too. For me since I already do WW it was too much to track on both sites but I think this is a great option for people who want an online community/tracker/coach for FREE! That is a great price!

Ha! You're in!

Honestly I don't actually think ANY of you are Fat Cows but the point is we FEEL like we are and together we will feel better! How about we start our own Fat Cow Club? People can use whatever method works for them but we can just support each other with ideas and motivation!

maybe I will finally stop doing this so much!

[Yari]

I like the idea of a Fat Cow Club!!!

Hey! We're the FCC now! Can we start levying fees against skinny people?
