[TIPS]Things that have helped me!

32oz Water Bottle

I was having a hard time keeping track of how much water i drank during the day. I’d always forget to drink water. I went to target one day, and i decided to buy a 32 oz Water bottle. Its marked on the bottle so you can easily tell how many cups of water you are drinking.  Its recommended to drink eight 8oz glasses of water. The total would be about 64oz of water. Some say to drink close to half your body weight. Well, it was easier for me to just carry around this bottle with me. For one, it was always there. It’s marked so i can easily tell how much water I’ve drank. Pick one up!

Measuring Cups, Spoons and Food scale.

These are one of the best things I’ve bought! It helps me calculate my points accurately. The food scale helps calculate solid things better than measuring cups. It’s so much better than guessing everything.

Lunch box

I picked up a lunch box (No, not the power rangers kind). It’s got that thermal lining or whatever it’s called, to keep hot food hot, and cold food cold. I take this with me to school and work so that i wont get tempted to go “out for lunch”, and take a stop by some fast food places. It’s great for people who are out most of the day! The bigger the better.

Vegetables

Substitute some fruit servings with vegetables. They are 0 points! You can get your recommended servings from the eight healthy guidelines, and still have points to spend.

Cravings

I scream for Ice cream~

I stocked up on WW ice cream. 2 Points a cup for the cookie dough one, and they even have 1 point bars. By the way, If you are wondering, they taste amazing.

Cookies and things~

You can also grab some of the Snackwell brand cookies and creme. They are pretty good. Most of the Snackwell snacks are low in points and are just what you need when you are craving some sugar. I would recommend Wheat thins for a potato chip substitute. They are nice and toasted. They also come in a variety of flavors and are pretty low in points. Quaker Rice cakes, they arent very filling but they are sweet, and worth 1 point each.

Well, that’s all i got for now. Keep checking up on this, as i’ll keep updating as i go.

Hope this helps!
