I like apples, bananas and I am becoming fond of pears. I also like mandarin orange sections-the Dole cups. They are packed in light syrup but I drain and rinse them and add them to my yogurt. I struggle with getting my five fruits and vegs in (mainly vegs :thumbdown ) but I manage.

This time around I am not filling my pantry with a bunch of FF crap that I don't like the taste of anyway. I am eating mostly all regular foods. I am learning to make good choices and correct porportions. This is the stuff that's going to get me through the rest of my life, not the FF stuff. I know what you mean by eating the "wrong stuff" but I have found that once I figure out the point value of something I either think :eek: noway, I'm not going to waste my points on that or Hmmmm, that's not as bad as I thought! I'm learning. Oh something else I really enjoy and it is an easy way to get 2 glasses of water down--I make slushies! I use crystal light or 4C drink mix. I make the drink and then add it to ice in my Magic Bullet (blender) and wahla! I will really enjoy these this summer!

I didn't get this way overnight and I am not going to get thinner overnight either. Oh, the other thing I do is only weigh myself on weigh in days and NO more. I exercise to Walk Away the Pounds (Leslie Sansone) These are great!

:2party: :2party: :2party: 3 cheers for all of us losers (that's water in that glass by the way ;) ) :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I find that this time around I feel success instead of self defeating myself. I am usually my own worst enemy. I will win this time! :thumbup:

Just plain tired of them now. I've tried Yogurt, but that stuff is so disgusting to me. Since I don't like berries of any kind it limits what there is. I have no problem drinking the water at all. I guess I'm just going to have to try harder in finding foods that I like and watch the portion control.

I don't like yogurt with fruit in either--ugh! But I find that I really do like WW yogurt. It is smooth. I am especially fond of the Lemon Creme Pie flavor, however, my Walmart hasn't had my last few shopping trips. It is only 1 point. I got Key Lime pie flavor this time--haven't had it yet though.
