Welcome to the dark side - we have low-point cookies.
Don't stress over the points too much. My breakfasts generally average about 7 points, but that's where I like to spend them. I try to end up with a light dinner.

7 points for breakfast is not bad. You get a lot and if you start the day satisfied, getting through the rest of the day is easier. I'm also on WW. I eat a hearty breakfast, snack on a piece of fruit mid-morning and have salad (really large, with all sorts of veggies in it) and protein for lunch. I'm fine with that. Give it a few days and you'll develop a rhythm. plus, you get extra points for the week to spread out as you want/need. Don't worry about not using your points, use every last one. Believe it or not, you lose more weight that way (ask me how I know?)

I joined. Lost 54 pounds. :) I do the old Points though. Works for me. :)
Don't worry about the "recommended" for breakfast. I eat a big breakfast, and smaller lunch and dinner.
The first week or two are the toughest. After that it's much easier

I went grocery shopping tonight - it ain't cheap trying to get skinny!!!! By the time I got home & groceries away, I was ravenous. I stocked up on frozen WW Entrees..... until I get a grip on how to adjust to this new lifestyle, I don't trust my home-cooking.
Tomorrow I'm going to try their recipe for slow cooker lasagna - no need for everyone else in the family to starve on my behalf!
