I'm certainly having a hard time with it. I can't wrap my head around ZERO point foods and not counting them.. It's an invitation to overeat IMO. Would it be easier to just go back to the old points system? I would love to.. but the WW app no longer supports the old system.. I'd have to track on paper. and remember what the Zero point foods used to be point wise.. I'm going to give it a bit longer. There are a lot of people at my meeting that LOVE the new Freestyle.. and some that hate it .... like I do.

Oh, I see. Hope you'll be able to adjust to the new Freestyle. It can get frustrating going up & down like a yo-yo all the time.

Congratulations! That was a very bad calorie and sodium count(OMG), Just curious, what was it(them) that ran those tallies so high? Not sure about the calories, but if you ate 5.375 Johnson brats you'd be in the ballpark for 4,244mg of sodium.

waffle 190 faro mix with porcini mushrooms 1 3/4 cup 1027 pancetta 1 oz 557 pizza 2 large slices 1380 wine 605 cream cheese and crackers 212 These were the largest offenders..the other items had less than 100 mg each.. which brought up my total to 4244.... I was shocked by the faro mix. I thought it was healthy, but as with most mixes.. the sodium hit is huge..

OK... This morning I am back down to were I was last Thursday, before the calorie and sodium overload on Friday evening. Can't change the blip in the road, so going to try to move forward will less indiscretions.
PSSTT... My goal is to get down to 140 pounds by this coming September.. I am going to a HS Birthday party!! All of us are turning the big SEVEN ZERO... this year or early next. So we decided to throw ourselves a birthday bash..

Cholesterol- I don't know, what's good/ what's 'bad' cholesterol? The recommended daily allowance in the United States for cholesterol is only 300 mg; 200 mg if you're a diabetic, have high cholesterol or heart disease. Sugar: no more than 150 calories per day for men or about nine teaspoons = 36 grams. Women, no more than 100 calories per day of sugar or six teaspoons = 20 grams. Salt: The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mgs a day and an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. Here are the approximate amounts of sodium in a given amount of table salt: 1/4 teaspoon salt = 575 mg sodium 1/2 teaspoon salt = 1,150 mg sodium 3/4 teaspoon salt = 1,725 mg sodium 1 teaspoon salt = 2,300 mg sodium

I have not had[knock-on-wood] a cholesterol problem(amazingly), eventhough having been quite heavy at one time. I will start checking Cholesterol levels in food items, as well as sodium and calories.
