Welcome! Sorry my reply is so late. How do you like the program so far?

I wish they would update Etools too AND their database. MFP has so much more in it's database! If you guys are on WW online, my screename on there is Dreamjo as well!

Thank you everyone! It means so much to have support like this and knowing that there are others going through the same thing. For those of you struggling with emotional eating and stress too, don't give up! Just realize that its a day by day thing that you have to work on your mental health while you are working on your…

Wow that's amazing! You are such an inspiration!

Thanks guys! Ooh I will have to download fooducate too! I love my apps :)

Week 5 of WW online, Week 27 of entire program. 27 lbs down. Lost 2.8 since last week!

Hello! First of all, I wish you and your family the best in the road ahead. May your husband be blessed with a speedy recovery. I used to track both as well and got so tired of it, especially when I was writing down my food diary and keeping it on here. I know pay for WW online only, so I track my food on there. I do not…

Thanks!!! :)

Welcome Starrlight! The main difference between etools and online is that etools is a mainly a companion if you are going to the meetings on a weekly basis. Its to log your food on the computer or remotely through an app so that you don't have to write your food diary. I have had both (meetings and etools) and weight…

Ugh! Gained 1.8lbs last week :( I worked out a few times last week... maybe it was water gain? Back on it strict this week.

Hi! I think nonfood rewards are great! 1. 10lbs lost - new shirt (completed) 2. 20lbs lost - night out on the town (completed) 3. 30lbs lost - salon day 4. 50 lbs lost - weekend getaway 5. Goal weight - shopping and concert!

On point yesterday and I weigh in tonight. I kinda splurged and didn't track 2 days last week. I'm hoping I lost at least some since I lost 3.5 last week. I keep going up and down. I'll have a really good week and then the next week won't be as great.

I LOVE Hungry Girl! I DVR all her episodes and my husband got me one of her cookbooks for Christmas. I have tried a bunch of recipes out of there so far and love them! You can find many of her recipes online and she even puts the points plus values on there. I recommend signing up for her daily newsletter because it is…

I hit my point target head on tonight and was under my calorie goal. I lost 3.4 this week!!!

Thank you guys so much for your advice! It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one that feels this way. I will be saying no when I see them again. Everyone else seems so friendly there, I just have to make them respect my wishes and learn to just say no. We will see what happens once I say a firm No.…

Thanks everyone for the replies! I've told them 3 times I can't afford it but I still feel guilty and have a meeting again later this week to "discuss" options. I told him I could afford one or two sessions but thats all but he keeps saying that I need at least a few a month. I don't even want to do the one or two now bc…

That is awesome!! I weigh in tonight officially but I was down to 189 again as of last night (I had gained a couple of lbs during the holidays). Hopefully I will see good news on the scale again tonight. SW: 209 CW: 189 Goal Weight: 145

Happy New Year! I started tracking again today.. I've taken the last 2 weeks off which is bad but I gained 2.6 during this time which really put things into perspective. I cannot do this on my own. I cannot just think I can eat what I want and when I want and lose weight. I am determined to get back on track though!!! I've…

Basically the 2012 plan comes with a little more flexibility. If you feel that your point value needs to be lowered or highered, you can talk about it with your leader. For example, if you went from 29 to 26 but 29 was working great for you, then you can stay on 29 if you wish. There has also been a few point changes to…

I've seen the homeade scrubs! They look great. I'm http://pinterest.com/mellowdreamer/ on there :)

I track both. I use MFP on my phone and online to track and I also use my 3 month WW tracker to keep up with points and an easy go to guide for foods I eat a lot for point values.

I'm here!! Just was a busy weekend! What did you think of the changes for 2012?

I haven't yet but I have a lot that I want to try! How did your vanilla turn out? You should browse and signup for Pinterest. Tons of ideas to make your own food and other neat stuff.

I heard we will learn more about them too tonight. I was worried that they would be more drastic than this. That's great for lifetime members! Hopefully, I can get to that point and utilize the free-ness! :) wonder what kind of changes they are making to activity pts?

How did it work for you? :)

Down 1.8! Whoohoo! Was hoping for 2 but still feel good :)

Doing okay so far! I have about 15 weeklies left and am about to eat with a friend at an Italian/pizza place so Im pre planning so I don't go over. How about you guys?

Was Greys on tonight? I watched it last week but forgot to this week until I just saw your post! I actually stayed on points today and had a lot of yummy food! I've saved most of my weeklies in case I need to pull some this weekend! Good job staying on point!

I also like getting the stickers! I know it is small but having those to remind me of my accomplishments for the week is a pick me up :) I'm a gold star kind of girl! :)

The once or twice time I gained a little were times I did not track or ate out a lot. I think eating fatty food at restaurants makes me gain the most, but lately I have been making better choices there. I think I have finally broken my french fry habit!
