Looking forward to reaching my goal (for once)!

Hi, sorry am just now logging back on to fitness pal. Thanks for your encouragement, and good for you for sticking with it for 6 weeks! On Weight Watchers they give you 26 points to eat every day, and since fruits and vegs (except starchy vegs like peas, corn, potatoes) are 'free' of points, it helped me to eat more of them. I attended weekly meetings, but what helped me the most was tracking what I ate (they give you weekly paper journals/trackers at meetings or can track online but only if you're a member) and deducted my points from the 26 starting points every day. The tracking is really what helped, but I was starving the first week. In the a.m. I would either eat a yogurt, or an egg with 1 pc of toast, fruit, ot low sugar cereal with skim milk...for lunch I would eat either a 1/2 sandwich and soup or salad (I never eat the same thing day to day), dinner would eat either 1 pc pizza (only once a week) or chicken with potato and a veg, or salmon or whatever. My downfall is I pick a lot and would count the points, including choc which would use lots of pts so that's not a good idea to eat trigger foods. Popcorn helped a lot too, since you get the volume for low points. You can look around on their site at www.weightwatchers.com for more info. Hope this helps!
