I've lost nearly 30 pounds with it.

AND it helps keep track of all the nutrients in everything you eat with the nutrition log, and has places for keeping track of fitness time, and there are virtual support groups and discussion boards and...

Seriously!  TRY it!  Don't put off weight watchers.  Just substitute sparkpeople!

I am registered on Sparkpeople.  I just have to get in there and DO it.  I guess I should start opening those emails I get from them every day.

LOVE that one, Sis!  lol

I can relate to that, AJ & TL.  It generally takes a breaking point of some sort to moving and motivated.  It took me a REALLY long time before I finally snapped a bit and realized that I had to just DO it.  Now I've plateaued.  I need to pull out sparkpeople and dust it off and start following it again.

[RainbowJingles]

[BeccaBoo]

These past two weeks have been hard for some reason.

I have "cheated" everyday.

But I have only gained like 3 lbs back.

I have been back on it real good this week.

So I am hoping to lose that back.

[RainbowJingles]

I don't cheat.
lol
Mainly cuz I'm not on a diet.  :-)
I'm just trying to make changes in my life and make 'em STICK.
A diet is something you "start" and "stop" and therefore can "quit."
A lifestyle is something that allows you to just realize that every day won't be perfect.  If you "mess up" you just get up and realize that you won't eat chocolate very often, but it's okay to have it once in awhile.
Just my

Well, I do the points system.

And if I eat over my points I call that cheating.

We actually have a "cheat day" for all 3 of us. (Mom, sis, me)

I am not big on chocolate.

I have a weakness for CHEESE!!

YUMMY!!



And thanks for your 2 cents worth.

I have been eating right and I am can tell it doesnt take near as much to fill me up now.

I used to go back for 2nds and 3rds...now I eat a plateful or 3/4 a plate and I am done.



But about 2 hours later I am hungry again.

So I eat a small snack and that helps until I eat the rest of my points for the day.

[RainbowJingles]

I have a friend who lost probably 50 to 75 pounds on WW.  She's STILL aware of and watching points 6 years later in order to maintain her weight.  I couldn't handle that.  Numbers drive me insane!!

Going downtown tomorrow. They are having a health fair.  Several health screanings,  And different speakers  on health and weight loss topics

[RainbowJingles]

How was it, TL?

[Brother Dad]

Walking a lot at General Conference, does that count.

[Tricia Lea]

How was it, TL?

Went good
Found out my cholesterol was actually pretty low, my BP was normal but they want me to go get my sugar checked again at my Dr. Its a bit higher than it should be. It was 160.
Went to some short seminars on things like ho bringing more activity in your daily routine can be beneficial. And one discussing how portion sizes have increased and how that has played a role in obesity
Was walking around and heard my name get called on the PA system from the stage, Come to find out I actually won something from the drawings they had. Won a $25 gas card

[Brother Dad]

My problem is not losing weight.  My problem is keep finding what others have lost.lol
