Hi everyone,

This is a weight loss site and our group hasn't focused much on weight loss.

What are some things you do that work for you?

What isn't working for you?

What are your greatest obstacles to weight loss?

Have you any super recipes to share?

    I just found out one thing that works for me is staying within my 1200 calorie/day range even when I exercise. Eating Weight Watcher breakfasts and suppers, and eating salads for lunch really help me to do this. I did this the first week. This second week that I just finished, I ate some of the calories that I burned off from exercise. I lost .8 lbs this week and 3 lbs the first week, so you can see eating the calories that I burn off from exercise does not work for me :)

    My greatest obstacles to weight loss are not eating when I am not hungry, and exercising every day. This coming week is going to be very challenging to get to the gym every day like I need to. Since I did not lose much weight this past week I am going to really put forth the effort to get there and stay on track with my exercising :)

    I do not have any recipes to share. Really what works best for me is buying the Weight Watchers meals.

    Thanks for asking!
