I also was struggling with WW - more because I don't like meetings. If I were alcoholic I wouldn't go to meetings either. I think. :blushing: and yes, the points based on calories worked for me, but the new pts system did not. Basically, I really like MFP because it puts me in control. I fnd that when it's up to me I take…

Mine are computers! or "mind games" or gluten free. so now we know! :laugh: katey

I make my husband sliced up vegetables & meat leftover from our dinner. He eats it cold - you know, like chicken or ham or even cold salmon. make it for dinner & set aside the leftovers in a sandwich bag for the morrow. Of course, I'm a great cook.:wink:

Ramen=carbs=hold water. Mix with vegetables like some steamed broccoli. you'll learn. ☺

Potassium. potassium helps balance fluid issues - look for foods high in potassium like bananas, and dark green vegetables. don't overdo the water as it washes out too many of your necessary electrolytes. Look for the items that say "Less salt" or try to find those fruits & vegetables that last longer. google - that's what…

EVERYTHING that everyone has said makes a bit of sense - if you deprive yourself, guess what? you feel ->Deprived! I'm not much of a sweets eater, but I do have my dark chocolate.

does this board have a 'moderator?' just wondering. k~

forgot to mention that I'm a retired nurse - retirement has been my downfall - gained 50lbs! now i have to lose the remaining 30 and at my age it is not easy - it's taken over a year to get this far. <sigh> :frown: k~

oh, my goodness! all you young girls! you'll be slim in no time! I remember that when I was losing to be married that I ate 1) no breakfast, 2)taco & diet Pepsi for lunch, 3)small portions of meat, salad & vegetable for dinner - for 6 months! I was always trying to be smaller than I should have been. That's me in a…

sorry, I'm 62 & have arthritis - I have about 30lbs to lose & hope to be in shape for the 5k - to walk it! - by next May. still, a lady needs her wt loss buddies - & I can be a buddy. Like you said, if you don't have them you give up.:ohwell:

Hi sherry, my first day, too & I ate twice as many calories as i was s'posed to... hope your day was better! katey
