goodbye for now :(
Here's my story... Last year, I lost 14 pounds & got down to 138 by following Weight Watchers. Needless to say, this was 3 pounds away from my goal of 135. I couldn't seem to lose those last 3 pounds!!! I had several folks tell me that I wasn't eating enough...so I tried counting calories on myfitnesspal. I'm unhappy to…

snacking at work
I have a horrible urge to snack at work all day long. I attribute this to the fact that I don't have a job that keeps me very busy and I find myself getting bored...therefore, I snack. The snacks I do eat are always healthy...I just eat a lot of them. I do enjoy 100 calorie packs...but they aren't exactly acheiving their…

Any other vegetarians out there?
I decided that starting Jan. 2nd (I allowed myself a morsal of pork yesterday), I will cut meat out of my diet.

In fact, none of them had anywhere near the 1260 calories/day this website is telling me I should do. Not counting exercise (and considering myself…

What's really considered 'exercise'?
This is going to sound like a stupid question at first, but hear me out. What should I really be tracking as 'exercise?' Obviously enough, if I do the elliptical for 30 minutes...or do 15 min. of pilates. But take a typical day in the office...yes, I may spend a good 5 hours sitting at my desk...but the other 3-4 hours is…

Welcome to all the newbies...including me!
Hi everyone! Just started this new program today. I have done Weight Watchers for YEARS! I did manage to lose 25 pounds 3 years back, but then gained about 15 pounds back last year (I slacked a little). I jumped back on WW and lost 17 pounds. I've always exercised (usually a 2 mile walk-away-the-pounds 3 times a week).…
