That's my favorite kind too ;)

Fage 0% Greek Yogurt (typically with fruit or dolled up some how) daily consumed. Carba Nada Noodles - 3 points for a serving; taste great, cooks fast; we eat it about 1-2 times a week. Mixed Greens (bagged and washed) all varieties. We have a salad every day with dinner. Bananas - everyday Boneless/Skinless chicken…

I'm not greatly influenced by others/peer pressure. Once I got on program I ate what I thought was best for me and did not really pay attention to what other were doing/ordering. In some ways I felt proud that I could manage that aspect of my life.

I still have a portion issues and am not mindful of zero point foods, I do well with food with points but not so well with fruits and veggies. I eat big salads for dinner every night before the actual dinner, I have plain Greek yogurt loaded with fruit (probably at least 3 servings) for breakfast. I am developing a plan to…

I'm up around 2 from last week and 4 from goal which I don't really understand. I'm confused because the scale needs batteries and I am not sure if the weight is right, it's been all over the place, but that is not entirely uncommon for me. So I found the batteries and put them in and next week I should no longer be…

For me "mindful eating" is typically a thing I employed in the moment. If I am selecting something from a menu, being mindful means thinking thru my options, not necessarily picking the lowest calorie or most healthy but deciding based on my day, longer term goals, impact to the current event etc. I also employ being…

I still track everyday and measure/weigh many of my foods. It's become a habit and I do it without much effort or thought. I am in my 4th year of maintenance but currently slowly trying to lose about 5 more pounds but I never really changed much once I hit goal.

I do what I want to do. I agree that our perception of a healthy weight (visually) is altered. My hubs and I talk about it when we watch old movies and see how thin the actors look. Depending on who is saying it, sometimes I think it is envy more than concern. When my doctor told me to be mindful on losing more because she…

Are you a currently a member? Yes, Lifetime member so it's free. Has the SmartPoints program affected your membership status decision? Not really, I like the changes SmartPoints has brought. My plan is to remain a member as long as WW is in business. Has the elimination of message boards affected your membership status…

"Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands — and then eat just one of the pieces." "Stop looking for quick fixes because that will never be permanent. Changing your lifestyle is permanent and it works."

I remember my Dad was driving home (he worked out of town at the time) and he heard the news. He came home and cried. As kids we went to all of the Elvis movies at the theater and then watched them a multitude of times on TV. I turn on the Elvis station on Sirius when driving occasionally. It's too bad things went the way…

I love ice cream. I still eat (but much less often) soft serve vanilla cones at the local ice cream stand in my little town. At home prior to SmartPoints I started eating the light double churned ice cream, Mint Chocolate Chip and Moose Tracks were favorites. Now I began eating Halo Top if I want scoops of ice cream and I…

Yes, I believe in this philosophy...maximize, not minimize and I add and good quality.

A few years ago, in Charleston SC we went to a rooftop restaurant/bar (nothing fancy) I was with hubs, having seafood for dinner, after sailing all day and best of all I was done with my WW journey and in maintenance, so I was feeling good about myself as well. We talked and people watched and enjoyed the weather and then…

Breakfast around 6am - tons of fruit with Greek yogurt (almost everyday) (2 points) Lunch around noon - typically leftovers from dinner or a sandwich or an omelet (Avg. 8 points) Dinner around 6pm - 99% of the time a big salad; with 4-6 ounces of a protein; a veggie; and 3 out of 7 days a starch. (Avg 11 points) (1-2)…

This doesn't happen often but I think I just go with it. Although I went with it awhile back and lost my "free' lifetime status. That experience made me realize that you must do the program to keep the weight off and the fact it took a year to get back to goal solidified in my mind that I can't drift to far or too long. I…

I did not identify with "eating more" as a thing of pride - in public I typically held back on eating, thinking that the folks around me would be thinking "I see why she's gained weight." I did have a portion issue, I ate "healthy" food but way too much so my change (still on going) is to reduce portions and when I do,…

I am usually pretty "positive" about life, but there are occasions when things get to me and I go into a funk. My usual approach is to identify, is there a particular thing bothering me. If there is I dwell/think about exactly what it is that is bothering me and then put an action plan in place. Recently I had to put one…

No one thing...I knew I had to do it and I tried a multitude of times, what changed is my doctor telling me it is not about what you eat but how much. It clicked with me that although I ate "healthy" foods, I was not paying attention to how much I was eating. I started that day and never looked back. After a few months I…

Lack of sleep is my trigger for "bad" food behavior. If I go for more than a few days of less sleep it becomes a feeling of a driving hunger, that leads me to "snack" foods such as chocolate or cookies etc. the things I really don't eat too often and can control otherwise. Layer work stress the event becomes more like…

The main one is "it's a lifestyle" and I adopted the red, yellow, green zones for weight since I am a lifetime/maintenance member, this helps me reel it in early enough to stay "free."

Down 2.0 and it was a nice surprise.

Summer is good for me, much easier to be active and moving which has positive impact on the WLJ/Maintenance. No corrections needed with the exception of getting back to consistent running after a 2 week stop due my beloved pup getting sick and us making the decision to put her down. I've just started back at it in the last…

This is a timely question for me, soon we will be attending the "Home Days" festival for my little town and then the following weekend The Feast of the Assumption in Little Italy. What I typically do is decide in advance what I want to eat that I don't normally have and then either plan around that point consumption or…

I'm lifetime thus sticking with WW, I think I would even if I were still a paying loser. I like the new program and now that things settled down I like the website and app. I like the new plan because on points plus (the program I lost all my weight on) I could not lose the 12 lbs that I added over the course of 1.5 years…

I run alone as my primary workout right now, have never been able to get my husband or friends into walking and/or running. Now I am looking at a couple of smaller fitness studios with the hope of meeting some folks who have a common interest of being or getting fit. Although I know alone I get it done because I am not…

Hi lee.less (Lee) here, I was a participant on the GOAD on WW website for a little while now and decided to join the fun here too. I am Lifetime status (just recently returned to goal) and hoping to lose another 10lbs and need to add toning/muscle building to my routine not just cardio for exercise. Looking forward to the…
