I'd like to join in with you all as well. I started Weight Watchers at the end of July and yesterday I weighed in and I have lost a total of 10.5lbs. I'm super excited and I'm really looking forward to losing more of the weight. My goal is to lose about 50lbs. From going to my meetings my leader has said that Fiber is very important. I try to eat fiber in every meal that I have because it fills me up faster and I'm not as hungry.

Lots of water. I drink a ton of water. And when you increase your Fiber intake make sure you drink lots of water and if you don't have any fiber for a day or two make sure you drink lots of water then as well. Or else you'll feel cramped. I just found that out yesterday at my meeting.

Also exercise. I think I would lose more weight if I exercised more than 2 times a week. I really need to work on that.

And eatting breakfast. Breakfast helps get your metabolism going for the day.

You can also eat on a smaller plate. You don't need that huge plate because when you do that you feel more obligated to fill the entire plate than you would if you had a smaller plate. That was one of my weaknesses. Portion control. With weight watchers I've learned that I can control what I put into my mouth and if I know its going to cost me a lot of points for the day then I won't put it in my mouth.

Other than that you all are doing awesome!!! Keep it up!!
