  • I've made it with yellow cake mix and diet orange soda. I use cool whip instead of frosting. It tastes like a creamsicle.
  • I recently lost 21 pounds and my bra size is unchanged. On a previous weight loss attempt I lost over 50 pounds and I went down one cup size. I'm hoping to lose another 20 pounds so maybe there's still hope.
  • Fiber Gourmet pasta - 20g per serving.
  • Obviously how much oil you need to fry something depends on what you're cooking. For people who don't know what you're cooking to tell you you're using too much is just judgmental and not particularly helpful. I had this very issue last week. I refuse to log oil I'm not actually consuming. Instead I measured it before and…
  • I don't think it's a question of better or worse. Different things work for different people. I have had success at traditional WW meetings and WW at work. For me the weekly meetings, weigh ins and in person interaction with other participants is an invaluable part of the process. I've tried this site as well as Weight…
  • While I'm not a huge fan of WW's tracker, you can certainly save foods, recipes and meals. Just type in whatever you named it and it will pop up without you having to enter the information again. You can also see These foods under "Items I Created" under "My Foods."
  • Have you considered taking advantage of WW's new 24/7 online chat? It's included in your membership and you can get all to one on one advice you need directly from WW.
  • I had a discussion with my WW leader about the "free" fruits and vegetables on Saturday. She said that five servings (the amount recommended by WW's Good Health Guidelines) are factored into your daily point allowance so they're not really free. Also, you'll notice if you use the recipe builder that the points are counted.…
  • "There are plenty of other legal drugs that have a lot of negative side effects. That doesn't mean they have no use. Personally, I think it's kind of rude for people who haven't used it, or maybe even have and didn't like it, to call it a "magic pill" or "silver bullet". Taking this medication is NOT an "easy way out".…
  • The almond flavor is pretty new. I prefer the pretzel nuggets as they provide more surface area for butter and I find them doughier.
  • I haven't tried them. If you're looking for a sugar free dressing I recommend Maple Grove Farms sugar free raspberry vinaigrette. It's delicious and only 5 calories per serving. It also works well as a fish marinade.
  • I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2007. I was on Weight Watchers at the time. I was within three pounds of my goal weight. All of a sudden I started gaining weight if I so much as thought about food. (This may explain why I want to scream whenever someone on this site says a calorie deficit will solve everything). The…
  • Umm, no. Following that theory you could live on Diet Coke and pretzels. That would hardly be good for you though you'd lose weight. As others have said, Weight Watchers frozen meals are great on occasion but it's not like NutriSystem where you eat the meals three times per day. They're high in sodium and not particularly…
  • I find it cheaper to shop for meat at night. The store reduces the price by up to 50% the night before the sell by date. If I'm not going to use it right away I freeze it. The same applies to seafood. The store also has a "reduced for quick sale" produce section. It's a good place to get cheap salad fixings if you're going…
  • I love Weight Watchers and one of the main reasons Is the accountability. Knowing I have to go get weight in has a huge psychological I pact for me. Also, the weekly meeting is extremely useful. It's not so much that I'm learning anything new. It's more about the shared experience with the people there. I've been lucky in…
  • I started taking Phentermine about ten days ago at my doctor's recommendation. (She said she didn't see much progress in her progress taking Belviq which is much more expensive. I paid $21 for the Phentermine at Sam's Club). I took half the dosage for the first eight days. I experienced dry mouth, headaches and horrible…
