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

) 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

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!

3 cheers for all of us losers (that's water in that glass by the way

)

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!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I wish I liked more fruits. I've gotten so that since I ate apples all the time, I get about half way through one and have to force myself to eat the rest. 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.

That's what is so nice about WW - you can pretty much eat the foods you like - within reason, of course.

I don't care too much for fruits and although I know my diet would be healthier if I ate more fruit - I don't have to - to lose weight on WW.

Also, I have found if I try to eat things that I don't like or force myself to eat the same foods, then I end up getting so hungry or feeling so deprived that I go on a binge!!!

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.

Ivy Lucille · 01-20-2007, 02:26 PM

I really enjoy the various 100 calorie packs too! They are a great snack or chips w/ lunch. Great for portion control and only 2 points. A few weeks ago I came across Hershey Dark chocolate bars that were 100 calorie packs. Can I say these are DELICIOUS!!! I usually enjoy one of those in the afternoon. Oh, oh and Chocolate covered altoids! lol 0 points for 2 of them. I also found York Mints---3 for 0 points! They are just little mints but they remind me of Thin mint cookies. Well, these are just a few of my great little finds.

It sounds like I only eat junk---but trust me, I don't

Oh just ignore this one.. I dont know what I was doing

twalla · 02-23-2007, 09:35 PM

Anyone doing it?

janh7 · 02-25-2007, 07:04 AM

Me,too! I am on WW. I started a year ago on WW at work. Not enough people signed up this time around so I tried on my own...didn't go so well. I am going to meetings on Thurs mornings on my way to work. Last week was my first week back on program and I lost 4 pounds.

BTW, I lost 27lbs in 3 months on the WW@ work.

trixiesmith · 02-25-2007, 07:12 AM

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've been doing it for a couple of months and haven't lost a pound. I do have a lot of trouble drinking water though.

janh7 · 02-25-2007, 03:34 PM

I know that journaling is the key for me. I keep track of my points by writing it all down.

simonandhallie · 02-25-2007, 03:52 PM

I've been attempting it for a few weeks now and I was amazed at how helpful it was to write everything down! I learned a lot about my eating habits and just replaced what I was eating with better options

mistyinca · 02-25-2007, 04:22 PM

I just started back on WW yesterday. I've been good for two days now, and even that is good. LOL. I've been trying to get on it since the beginning of the year. I have a lot to lose too.

I just got done cutting down chicken breasts. Albertsons has boneless skinless breasts for $1.49/lb, so I've been cutting them down to 4oz portions. Then I cut up the scraps and put them in 1lb bags in the freezer for making stir frys and stuff.

Here's one of my fav's:
Vita tops (www.vitalicious.com) double chocolate 1 point each (not cheap though). Dang...I could go for one right now!

How is everybody doing on the program? I just had my 9th week weigh in and I am down 23 pounds Wahoooooooooooooooo!

mistyinca · 02-26-2007, 06:55 AM

Wow! 23 pounds in 9 weeks is amazing! YGG!!

I won't get on the scale. I do not want to know my starting weight. I know I've moved into territory I have never been in, and I can't deal with seeing the number. After 30 good days, I might get on, but I can't take it right now...

RowdysMom · 02-26-2007, 06:11 PM

I am always thinking about WW

Actually, I lost 35 pounds about 5 years ago and I got off WW and gained back about 20 pounds (after about 3 years of maintaining the 35 pound loss). Since last September I've lost 15 pounds. I did well during the holidays but for some reason I have been totally out of control these past few weeks

and I have managed to gain back 5. Today I made a vow to get back on track and so far so good, for today!

I love WW, but sometimes I am just completely out of control and I can't stop myself from eating things I shouldn't. I love WW though, because I know what to do, IF, I can get myself under control!!

Good luck everyone!
