Weight Watchers works...for me

I finally joined. I got the new package which includes the online e-tools. www.weightwatchers.com

This online activity is helping me figure out the simple value of foods. Im a typical Realtor, running around on empty, stop for an icy coke since I am starving and thirsty. When I started going I learned I am a salt craver even more than sugar. The whole room was the salt or the sugar. I learned simple things like the whole fruit is the filling food we can use before going out to dinner to curb eating all the bread on the table before the meal.

I learned to get back on when I fall off. Most of all I have found out how to eat foods with value to my feeling really full and that starving diets only work when I am starving.

I offer this not as anyone connected to weightwathers. The little simple things I learned were sometimes small aside comments. "I am a picker the speaker said and I pick at all the food my kids leave on their plates"

That triggered the memory of never leaving food on my plate growing up, it was not allowed. We grew up that people in India were starving. Appology India, we now get our best tech support there. Times.. they are a changing!

I am eating turkey bacon, whole grain bread (toast) whole apples, popcorn, instead of a diet shake.

We live in Redondo Beach. We have to skip the pie (easy) if you want to wear a bathing suit at the beach instead of all your clothes. dressed up doggy popelynnephoto

I have been thinking about trying this for a month or two. I would like to lose about 20 pounds but it seems impossible to do.

Hi Lynne, Weight Watchers is a healthy way to "diet."  I recently ran into a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a while.  She is on WW and has lost 55 pounds.

Lynne - Congratulations!  I started Weight Watchers a year ago.  I lost 38 pounds in 7 months and have kept it off for 5 months.  I always look at it not as a diet but more as an "eating plan".  I am actually eating more than I ever have before - but now I am eating the right things. It works!  Good luck to you.

Don't forget the exercise!  Diet alone will move the scale, but you'll lose some of your important lean composition.  You wouldn't want to become a skinny fat person would you?  Skinny fat people, turn into fat fat people when they look at a morsel of carb.

Thanks to all of you...for your comments   I am enjoying learning how to have plenty to eat and discover that when I make a good choice I get the value without the FAT!
