  • Check grocery flyers for whatever fruits, vegetables and lean protein are on sale. I shop at a lot of the smaller neighborhood markets, it seems their prices are way better than the big chain stores. Eating seasonal keeps costs down too. Seeing a lot of berries and fresh corn on sale.

  • I am going to echo what many have said prior. I joined WW after my first son when I was at my heaviest and lost 30 lbs. This was almost 20 years ago. I think it was a good plan for beginners and taught me a lot about food. However, I have rejoined 3-4 times over the years and each time I found it to be harder to follow.…

  • I love sweets also. I eat a lot of fruit, but when that doesn't work, I try to make the best choices I can (most bang for my buck). I use portion control and work them into my daily calorie goal. Most importantly, I am honest with myself and log it no matter what.

  • I was hoping for more progress in January. Logged faithfully and stayed within my range every day but one, however I was sick and did not meet my exercise goals. Here's hoping February is better! SW 167.8 CW 163.4 GW 158.4

  • Planning ahead is the key for me. I always make my lunch before I go to bed, so I am not tempted when the co-workers go out and pick something up. Chopped Salad today - with tomatoes, red onion, 3oz grilled chicken, 1 tbsp gorgonzola cheese, 1/4 avocado, 2 slices of crumbled turkey bacon. I will toss it with 1 teaspoon of…

  • All the men in my house like junk food and it is hard to resist sometimes. Rather than never have anything, I am just honest. I count it. When I see in my diary how many calories these things are as opposed to healthier options, MOST times you will pick something better next time. I find myself stopping at one cookie now,…

  • That is a good idea for a specific craving ! For my taste the portions are too small and I don't like the additives and sodium. But I like to cook and challenge myself with coming up with meals that work for me. I think it can really be helpful to people to keep their calories under control, especially when they don't have…

  • I rely a lot on leftovers. I always grill extra chicken, lean pork, steak, etc. I usually have leftover cooked veggies too. I make a giant pot of vegetable soup on Sunday that I can eat many times. I make a big salad and add in leftovers or canned tuna. I will fall back on a sandwich with whole grain bread (low sodium…

  • I am 46 years old and have struggled with my weight since age 8. I have gained and lost over the years with WW and other diets. I always looked down at low carb as being too restrictive (thinking Atkins). Starting in January, I started really watching my carbs and discovered how my body reacts. I lost 15 lbs in the first 3…
