But then I stopped paying going to meetings or weigh-ins, stopped being accountable for what I put in my mouth... It definitely does work though. And like you said, nothing is off limits as long as you plan for it... Good luck!...

I did this by using a salad plate instead of a dinner plate. I would divide the plate into quarters. I would fill the plate w1/2 with veggies, 1/4 each with a meat and a starch. I did this for the longest, and would limit myself to just one plate. That and I started to walk. Just walk, at first it was hard to make it to the end of the block, but pretty soon, I could walk long distances...further and further each day, until it became part of my routine. <br /><br />I lost 40 pounds that way,and have managed to keep it off. Not to say, I don't have the "good" stuff as you say, but I am now watching my portions and allow myself treats. <br />Best of luck to you. I know how difficult it is to change our eating habits. <br />I signed this anonymous becasue I don't know how to use the other stuff, but have been a faithful reader of your blog for about 6 months.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-83924396484568535032009-07-30T06:32:51.336-07:002009-07-30T06:32:51.336-07:00congrats WW is wonderful! it's kind of a pain...congrats WW is wonderful! it's kind of a pain keeping track of the points but at the end of the day you KNOW what you did and didn't do...no more guessing!

I have lost about 6 pounds since my husband left for Germany. I've been going to a Zumba class 3 nights per week and changed my eating habits all together..I'm kinda scared for when he comes home and I have to cook for him. I know he'll be understanding if I don't cook like I use too. I have decided at 47, if I don't do something now, I'm heading for an early grave which I don't want to do to my children. Good luck my dear friend and I much success in you journey.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652264313431556715noreply@blogger.com
