Hello and welcome. I have a 9 year old with Autism and know how you feel. You should not feel guilty about trying to make yourself healthier. Having a child with Autism is extremely stressful and it is important allocate some time for you. One book that you may want to check out is "Ten Things Every Child with Autism…

My son is now 9 and we have always mentioned to him that he has Autism. He goes to a school with similar children and I think they reinforce that everyone is different. Check out "The Survival Guide for Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (and their Parents)" by Elizabeth Reeve, MD. The book helps kids understand what ASD…

My son did not really start using words until he was about 3. He was able to read about the same time and started to build a large vocabulary, but was only using 1 word at a time to tell us what he wanted. He started early intervention when he was 2 and has continued to ABA and extensive speech therapy. He is now 8 and is…

Hello and welcome. Below are a few comments from my experience: 1) Track Everything. Even if you had a terrible day enter it. It will help you see where you went wrong and identify things that you can do to make things better going forward. 2) Cut things that you can live without first. If you drink sugar soda, whole milk,…

Hello and welcome. The first day is a little tough, but it does get easier. My tip would be to use the community section of the web site to learn what others are doing. I also find that by having 'friends' that are active help keep me motivated.

I have done it about 5 times. The first 4 times I was super successful. Lost a bunch of weight (100 pounds twice). Once I stopped going to meetings I gained the weight back. I tried the new program, but just could sync with the all you can eat fruit. I just do better here and all my 'pals' are better than the support I…

I love the Burger King BK Veggie Burger (No Mayo) 320 Calories. You have to make sure you say no mayo because they will smother it with a ton of calories.

Welcome Amber!

I only tell them that I am making healthier choices. In my case I have a lot to lose and most of them have seen my roller coaster ride with my weight over the years. Some people I tell that my doctor wants me to come in for some tests and I have to watch my eating for a period of time. (This way they feel guilty by putting…

Welcome you have come to the right place. I have also used WW many times in the past, but have found tracking at MFP much better for me. My suggestion if to use the community part of the site often and build a team of fellow members who can help keep you motivated. Good Luck on your journey. I think your goal is very worth…

Try Entering all of the components individually. If it is something you eat all the time you should be able to save it as a meal.

Welcome.

Yes, but the lose will be much slower since it is coming from eating less calories. Any exercise will help you. It could be a small walk, parking your car a few more spaces from the store or office, using the stairs instead of the elevator. You do not have to go to the gym and start lifting weights. As your weight starts…

I believe you. I have the same problem with my 7 year old. He is an angel for his grandma's and good in school. No one believes me that he turns into a devil child at times when he I have him. Is your son acting this way at a particular time or in response to something? Usually my son is acting up because he did not get…

Welcome. I know you can do it!

Poland Spring has "Sparkling Spring Water" that is pretty good. It does not have any sweeteners (Artificial or regular), but adds carbonation which may help satisfy the diet soda craving.
