  • I too am a paying WW member. The way that works best for me is to track my food on here. Then at the end of the day, I use the WW calculator and figure how many points I have eaten. I usually take the weekly points and add them to each day, giving me more daily points. Then on top of that, I have WW pedomter and i am…
  • Hi, Jessica. I am also doing WW and MFP together. I love this site to do my food tracking. I have found that after logging for a day, I can use the WW calculator to figure out the points. It will not be exact, but in my case it is very close. Tracking here has become a habit and the database is huge. I just make sure I am…
  • Louisvile, Kentucky. It is sunny and very cold here.
  • I love cottage cheese and it was my "go to" snack until I realized how much sodium it has in it. Breakstone has a reduced sodium choice, but I haven't been able to find it yet. I have quit eating it and was able to maintain over the holidays. I have some edemanme that I need to try...never had it before and I am not sure…
  • If you go to the food tab at the top of the page, it will bring up today's date and three meals and a snack. Click where it says add food. In the large square at the top put your food item in. This database is huge and will bring up a variety of brand names and sometimes portion sizes. If you click on an item, the portion…
  • A member of my Weight Watchers class had this issue and she started using the new gummie vitamins for adults. She said they didn't cause all of the stomach problams.

  • I have one of the large Rival crock pots and I love to put a frozen turkey breast in it with a cup of chikcen broth and cook it overnight. It is moist flavorful and falls off the bone.
  • It sounds like it might be the begining of varicose veins. I have been wearing support knee highs and it does make a difference in how my legs feel at the end of the day. I don't get the fancy TED hose from a medical store. Sears has them in their house brand. There are three different support levels and they range in…
  • Has anyone looked into using ground bison? It is very low in fat, high in protein and very good tasting.
  • I know that feeling also. I walked past a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts about 6 times on Wednesday. I am very proud to say that I did not eat one. Did I want one?? OMG yes...........
  • I know exactly what you are saying. I drink much more with a straw.
  • I also like a can pf pumpkin mixed in a Carrot Cake or a Spice Cake. But i have found that pumpkin is hard to find this time of year. I will need to wait a few weeks.
  • Have you tried the cake and cupcakes made with a diet soft drnk? It is a WW recipe. Take any flavor cake mix and add a diet soft drink, flavor of your choice. They say to use the dark drinks with chocolate cake and the lighter drinks with the white cakes. Do not add any other ingerdents....just the mix and the drink. They…
  • I don't know if anyone here has seen the "Eat this, Not That" series of books, but there is one especially for eating out. I love these books because they tell you the hidden dangers in the food.
  • We were talking about this last week on another thread....try mixing a spice cake or a carrot cake with a can of pumpkin. That's all. Nothing else. It is delicious. And it is moist enough you don't need frosting.
  • I use a 15oz. can of pumpkin. Just a normal can size. I have also put pumpkin in a carrot cake mix. Both are delish!!!
  • I have also made a spice cake and used a can of pumpkin. Nothing else, just a can of pumpkin. It is yummy. If you make the coke cake and put it in muffin cups you really don't need any frosting. My grandsons love the cupcakes.
  • I also just started myfitnesspal, but have been a Weight Watcher for many years. They suggest drinking some water, going for a walk, reading a book and just plain getting your mind off of food. Now I know how easy that sounds, it really isn't. I usually try a small porton of chocolate. That usually stops the craving for…
