Progresso Soups (the ones like the Chunky Soup) for 99-cents a can. And the points? At the most, 6 points per can. At the least it looks like 3 points per can. I'll have to do the *actual* math on them before I actually eat them. But they're the good, thisk, hearty soups with names like "Grilled Steak and Veggies"!

We bought about $15 worth.

Also got Bananas 5lbs for a dollar, Oranges and Apples 3ls for a dollar. And so much stuff for in salads includding radishes and spinach! Starting tomorrow, the diet is gona rock! But as for tonight, I've still 65 points worth of Sushi to eat!

Okay. Now you've got me wondering about this points system thing...

And who has them for 99 cents? They used to be one of my lunch standby's...

Progresso Soups for 99-cents at the Grocery Food Outlet on 196th near the Hooters! We always do our shopping there first, then fill in the gaps at other stores :)

Its that "Awake during the daytime" thing.... I generally am not willing to venture out into the world until about 8 or 9pm on my weekends. So, I end up missing out on a lot of daytime stuff unless I specifically plan for it.

Ah yes. That *is* full of all the Suck, isn't it?

Totaly Airwolf. Pants to the extreme.

OK dammit, what diet is this that you're on and can eat so freaking much? Hm? Have you lost weight? Does it work? TELL MEEEEEEEEE.

It's just plain old WeightWatchers Point System! There's a formula for figuring out the "Points" of each and every food item you could ever eat by checking the nutritional information. Based on your beginning weight, you get a "Base" number of points per day (because I'm starting out at over 350lbs I get 34 points per day), plus 35 "Flex Points" to apply whenever you feel like it!

The biggest part of this diet IMHO is knowing how to get the biggest amount of food for the least amountof points. A can of Spaghetti-O's comes in at 10 points and is not very filling, where as Apples and Oranges are only a point each! Potato Chips are like 17 points for an ounce (one of those iddy-biddy lunch-size bags), but Popcorn is only 5 points for a half-cup unpopped! That's a HUGE BOWL once popped!
