Yes, portion was an issue for me and the main reason for gaining along with over all volume consumed, in other words I may not have too much of one thing, but I may have too many normal portions of a variety of things. I am good with portion control now because I weigh most things, but prior to weighing I estimate how much…

Yes, I have made those last minute decisions...typically it's a situation where I was not thinking prior to grabbing something then once my brain caught up with what I had done, I change my mind. Sort of "old habit" breaking. But I have also NOT made that last minute decision and regretted consuming something that was not…

Worth it...sometimes means I really enjoy it, but don't eat it often and the version I am contemplating to consume, must be well done/cooked well. Typically around dessert. The foods I eat everyday that are "healthy" - the right portion - generally work within my lifestyle are also "worth it."

Digital food scale and the WW app for tracking and my home weigh in scale are the top 3. The mapmyrun app and fitbit I wear are nice to have but not critical.

up .2 -- still maintaining

1. What goal(s) have you achieved on your WL Journey that you are most proud of? I started running and I still track points daily even while on maintenance. The tracking habit is a great way to maintain, and I don't mind doing it at all. 2. What current goal are you working on in the short term? I have added muscle…

Food continues to be high on my list of pleasures. The entire process is fun for me. Shopping at farm markets for new fruits/veggies. Occasional visits to really nice grocery stores, my local grocer is excellent but I like to see other high end grocery stores and the new things they offer. Cooking the food and finding new…

In the past I did not plan much or bring snacks we would eat on the road or at the ultimate location. I was always a mindful eater choosing "healthy" options (but often eating too many of them or too much) but my husband was fine with fast food on the road and I went along with it. Now I pack snacks and if it is an…

Hoping they recover. find a visionary CEO that can insure they execute well and come up with an even better plan. I still like WW because it allowed me to get to where I am today, I'm sure I could maintain my weight loss without them, but I'd prefer not to at this time. I've worked for and have invested in companies in…

I still use the WW site fully, I track on the app, I peruse Connect etc. without the Message Boards I find I am not on the main site as much but I am lifetime and it is free and it is what keeps me in check on not gaining and staying focused on the lifestyle.

I don't have it in the form of a disorder, but I do have an issue with body image at times. First when I gained weight (as I was gaining) I thought "oh I'm still OK, not happy with how I look, but I think I carry it well enough". Since I lost weight, I find periodically I think I look very good, thin and fit. Other times I…

I sometimes start saying to myself, oh go ahead eat it, you are eating well 90% of the time this one time won't hurt. And this may continue for days or weeks and the scale usually is the 2X4 that hits me in the head to stop the behavior. I also think I stray when I am not keeping other aspects of my life as active. You get…

I follow SmartPoints now...with this program sugar is heavily penalized from a points perspective. If I eat a dessert or sugar centric food, I track it but I break the rules by looking at the calories associated with the food I consumed and factor that in, to decide how much damage I really think it caused. It is a…

Down .4 but not at my new low yet.

I experience knowing I am not hungry at night, typically a couple hours after eating dinner my husband usually eats a small snack, I check in with myself when he brings it up and pass if I am not hungry. And I get a little glow of happiness that I don't feel hungry. I found when in losing mode I kind of always feel hungry…

I did not rely on any of those specific tools for weight loss or now during maintenance. But when I run into a blog or article regarding health/food I typically will read them and find most often they validate the approach of WW for the most part.

YES! That would work well for me!

I'm currently a Program Manager for an IT/telecommunication company that provides services/solutions to clients. For the past 3 months and moving forward I get to work from home and that has helped me be more active and less stressed because I don't waste an 1-1.5 hours on travel and another .5-1hr on getting ready to…

I don't track condiments, and I wholesale track 2 points a day for fat free half and half regardless of how much I use (over or under) -- I track about 40% of free foods particularly fruit which I can eat lots of on some days and I am making sure it does not become a problem.

Down .4 but not at my new low any more...but going there via the roller coaster.

My husband and I both work from home, we eat lunch and dinner at the kitchen table. We eat breakfast in our lower level family room, which started when we had 2 dogs & they lived mostly on that level because our backyard is accessed from there thus leaving them out etc. was more convenient. We liked to be together with…

I'm not sure I can write exactly how I feel, but here it is...I associate my weight loss/maintenance and fitness to health and physical abilities, as I age I have decided the health of my body should always be a high priority because I want to be very active now and when we retire. My philosophy is my body is the one thing…

I like this forum better than the WW boards from a functionality perspective.

I want to log in everyday to MFP, but I sometimes miss due to work load typically. I never joined the roll call because I was a lurker for a long time, thus felt I was not part of the core team...I tend to be shy :)

1) Yes, I have a scale I can use to weigh myself. 2) Yes, I weigh in to monitor my weight and typically weekly sometimes a couple times a week. 3) To stay aware of my weight and react if it is creeping up or celebrate if it goes down. :)

I am changing up a few things, some seasonal related and some based on observation. 1. Joining a fitness place (Orange Theory) for winter activity, based on the fact that winter impacts my activity in a negative way. 2. Reduce my zero point food portion sizes and focus more on veggie vs. fruit consumption (or more balanced…

Bought a new bathing suit in 20 minutes or less, I was looking for workout clothing at a discount store (Marshall's I think over lunch time) and I walked by a bathing suit that had a nice color/pattern, I looked at it, liked it and saw it was my size. I tried it on, loved it and bought it. Never had such a painless bathing…

Tracking...

I am maintaining from WW perspective as a Lifetime member, but I am attempting to lose another 5-7 so I have a good cushion from goal. Not sure how to up the volume of contributors on GoaD - possibly posting on Connect with a link and hashtag: wwbros (which is what the guys call themselves on Connect)

My "last" round with WW was when PointsPlus started and ultimately achieved goal. And what brought me back was "free" bananas. At least that was the first thing that peaked my interest. The reason I believe I was successful is I fully committed because at the time life was a bit stressful, my husband was travelling…
