I've really cut back on the sugar intake, hardly any packaged or frozen foods, did have a couple of sodas compared to one a month I may have, have been drinking alot more water, ate only when I had hunger pangs, stopped eating just before I got that full feeling, and very little in the way of snacks. I am eating more nuts and my DD made some trail mix that takes care of me when I want a little something in-between meals.
Of course it hasn't helped being sick and on meds, but I still ate.
Paying attention to when you are really hungry (feeling the true hunger pangs) and not just when you think you are is very important. Also, you need to stop eating before you get full. By that time you have eaten too much. It's ok to leave some food on your plate. The food police are not gonna arrest you if you do.
You can do it ladies.

This is such a bummer, so down in the dumps over this::))

Ok, here is my weigh in. First, I will say that I'm not discouraged. I'm sick and get little exercise, BUT, I have made HUGE changes. I try to make sure everything I put in my mouth is healthy. At first, I thought those 24 WW points would not be enough, (get ready, I have another big BUT LOL), going over the list of foods thoroughly, those 24 points are more than enough. I actually eat more using the point system, just different. Oh, back to my reason for this post LOL!!! PHOOEY!!! I just realized this isn't Monday!! I weigh in tomorrow! As of now,... I'm so confused. I will check in tomorrow. Sorry about that.

I'm not joining this group but just want to share a heads up. I've lost 12 in 6 weeks not by watching fat or calories but by watching carbs and hidden sugars in food I eat. Only give myself 9 grams of sugar per day..don't eat anything that says diet on the label, no food from jars like spag sauce, pizza sauce, bbq sauce, etc. Break is a huge no no and so is pasta, white rice. Following Jorge Cruise food plan and bought his book The Belly Fat Cure. He gives you a carb swap list that is so easy to follow. Fruits are not the solutionl. They are full of sugar so eat them in moderation. Chocolate? Yes I eat it..the dark, dark stuff. Milk choc has the sugar in it. Never hungry since I eat 5 times a day. Amazing how the love handles melted away. Everyone finds a food plan that works for them and this one works for me. Good luck everyone.

Don't forget to weigh in tomorrow for the rewards program - it is March 1st. I really have to start walking again - without it I can't seem to keep the weight off. It has been raining here in AZ so have not walked in a few days. But like everyone says tomorrow is a new day. I have to lose at least 30lbs for my son's wedding. You know getting older makes this very hard. LOL
Good luck everyone!!!!!!

Hi Mary Ann, Good to see you are still on here. Boy, we sure need the encouragement don't we. Those weddings are fast approaching. I lose a few lbs and when I can't walk because of rain - I put it back on. I keep telling myself to STOP EATING. But I have been watching the points and when I don't exercise - it revisits me. But tomorrow we start and I MUST DO THIS. Good luck - keep me updated on your success.
