Default I LOVE Weight Watchers!!

I started WW on 3/1/10 and in less than a month I have lost 13.6 pounds!

Today was my weigh-in day, and I achieved my 5% goal!

I am not going to meetings, but using the e-tools, and the app for my iPhone.

The crazy thing is I eat all the time! I think I was sabotaging my efforts by skipping meals (breakfast mostly) before.

I did it years ago, and am SOOO glad the days of manually figuring out Points values for recipes is over thanks to the recipe builder on their site!

Anyway... just wanted to share!

Yeah!!!! Good for you! That is a lot of weight in one month.

Isn't WW awesome?! I weigh in tomorrow but I did a sneak peek weigh in this morning and I am down another 2 lbs this week! I am so thrilled.

I love WW because you can eat REAL FOOD.....you just have to learn ways to make it healthier and control portions. Tonight, I think I am going to try this recipe on Gina's site:

Me too...especially when I follow the program My weigh in was Thursday...my first week after recommitting...and I lost 6lbs...I know this week won't be as good and I have a long way to go but it felt good...I like that I can eat anything too because I then I don't feel like I'm missing out on something...

Congrats on the weight loss Christine...

Thanks ladies! That shrimp dish looks OMG fabulous!

Have you seen Hungry Girl's site? She has made over so many restaurant faves! Can't wait to try out the artichoke dipping sauces tonight....

Hubby's client brought over a TON of artichokes fresh from the fields in Castroville. I have been having a panic attack over how many calories are in my normal "pink mayonnaise" (basically mayo with seasonings and italian tomato paste.)

Congrats Christine!!!! I just left my meeting this morning. I love WW, its the only thing that works for me. I re-started the program at the beginning of Feb and I'm down 13 lbs as of today which isn't too shabby for a girl that looooves food.

FYI: One of my biggest tools is Dottie's Weight Loss Zone (www.dwlz.com). She has a awesome list of resturant menus with points for each dish.

Congrats! I agree, whenever I start I always am amazed by how much I have to eat. I am a terrible skipper of meals which is so not good and doesn't help at all. For instance, I skipped breakfast today. Jeez. I need to get back into counting again.

This thread is sooo inspiring, I might have to resign myself up for WW. I did the online one before my wedding and lost almost 20lbs that way. Of course it's all back & then some and I feel miserable!!

See, I think I need to do this. I love the idea of lifetime status! In fact, I am going to go and check it out right now.
