Ruthiegirl, I lost more weight doing WW on my own last year than I did going to the WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD meetings. I disliked my "leader". So, good luck to you! But one question: why wait til Monday???
Candipooh (interesting screen name by the way...) my guess is that you're retaining some water using the packaged foods? What does spark say about your sodium intake? Are you drinking water? Have you taken measurements to compare against the weight?
I ate only 1033 calories yesterday; this is NOT my usual routine, but I did it as part of my resetting my appetite after my vacation. I also took a brisk walk and burned 300. I know, I know, too little caloric intake, but I just needed to do it. I had clear soup with vegetables during the day (like, a whole pot), a little peanut butter (natural) on a piece of double fiber bread (50 cal) and tilapia and quinoa (1/2 cup) for dinner. I'm doing this kind of thing again today. Scale had me down 2 lbs over yesterday's weigh in
(I do realize that daily wi is not the best idea, but I had to know this morning if what I had done did anything) and I figure that if I do this until I am back at my pre-vaycay weight then I will be the better for it. I can then start back where I was. I will only do it for up to 1 week.

No exercise besides a 40 mins walk outside as I have a cold PLUS a yeast infection!
Exercise obviously was the last thing on my mind. I am starting to feel better down "there" today and my cold seems like it is getting better. I am hoping I can walk on the treadmill tomorrow.
Happy to! It's going to work out. You'll see! And by the way, if the sparks thing confuses you, or nothing changes in the goal calculator when you input your info, there are other ways to determine what your calorie range should be, so don't worry. My opinion is that it's just a simple fix in the long run.
