We meet here to explore, share, celebrate and (sometimes) agonize over how we do (or don't) incorporate weight loss guidelines into our daily lives. "It's a lifestyle, not a diet" is easily and often said, but sometimes not so simply put into practice.

This is a thread for everyone. If you're new to GoaD, or to weight loss, your questions and comments are always welcome. If you're maintaining, or a long-term loser, your thoughts on the topic may be just what someone else needs to hear. If you're reading this, join in the discussion!

Each weekday, a new topic is offered up for discussion.

Today's Topic: Small ball.

What a a couple of little thinks that help you living the lifestyle? Food finds, ideas, hacks, any little thing.

One of the things that help me out a lot is getting burrito bowls from Chipotle for lunch. Warm, delicious, and filling. Brown rice, black beans, chicken and extra veggies. I skip the cheese and guac.

- Having lettuce ready for salad
- Seafood here in New England - baked, zero points
- Slow cooker meals - eat one serving, save one unfrozen, freeze one for later
- Saving “meals” in the WW app to track easier
-Using the Apple Watch - I’m annoyed by how easily I’ve been conned into chasing those three rings.

The more egg whites and apples I eat the better.

Riding the recumbent bike at the Y helps my feet and ankles.

My walks go better when my feet and ankles are better.

Delay is easier than just say no.

Homemade veggie bowls for lunch: I take a bag of broccoli slaw, nuke it for 10' to cook and let it cool afterwards. Later I throw it in a tupperware, put a little cooked chicken in, and a bit of lite Asian dressing. When I'm ready for lunch, I nuke it for 3' and have a hot and filling (and lite) lunch.

Preparing my own food. Not relying on eating out.
