I don't belong to WW, too much $$ for me. But I did go check out SparkPeople.com and this may be the thing I need to get motivated. I joined a gym last month, but have only gone twice a week. Finally the rain stopped here in Sacramento, so going for my workout in an hour. I would love to see some recipes....

I have been thinking about joining WW but I am not a good record keeper. I don't want to have to count or write down everything. Is this the wrong program for me? I joined about 15 years ago and gained weight on it. Kind of makes me hesitant.

You will eventually learn the points plus and NOT have to look everything up.
I joined about 3 years ago & have kept off about 46 lbs......problem is I want to lose and keep off about 8 more lbs!
But, WW is the best eating plan.
Remember, you never graduate from WW, it is a lifetime commitment!
Some of my classmates and I go out to eat every week after our meeting!

When you get home, put the points plus values on the boxes, containers, etc and you'll never have to figure it out again.
It's OK to 'cheat' on occasion just not every day!
I don't think I could have done this on-line. I get so much support from my group meeting not to mention some fantastic recipies, new brands or snacks that others have discovered, etc.
Hang in there and keep tracking, it will get easier!

IBQLTN - Counting is a bit of a pain, but go by a meeting and get a calculator. I take it to the grocery store with me.
::smacks forehead:: I need to do that when I shop. I want to get some crackers for when I have soup. I keep meaning to look up point value for stuff but don't think about it until I get to the store. Great tip!
