I finally took the plunge and joined Weight Watchers Online last night. Woo hoo! Even though we started out with the same height and weight, I start out with two fewer points than you because I’m not nursing. Since I signed up just a couple of hours before midnight, I’m making Thursday my weigh-in day, so my first one will be next week. I’m nervous, but so excited!

Have you seen this website, http://www.hungrygirl.com? It has tons of great recipes for things that you would normally love, but shows you how to make them healthier. It also has nutrition information and I believe WW points for all of the recipes. I love it. The recipes are under “Chew the Right Thing.”

Stupid diets. Quitting eating is for ninnies, damnit! Heh - just kidding. Good luck in your quest!

ooh hang in there girl! The first couple of weeks are NOT FUN with WW, it took me a little while to get adjusted to eating less. I was sooo hungry all the time. But it goes away, trust me! Your stomach will shrink a little bit and get used to the new amount of food you’re eating. And if you’re having a really strong craving, try just eating one of whatever it is- a brownie, for example. I found that depriving myself completely made it all seem that much worse.

Like Ben Lee sings, “we’re all in this together”.

Welcome to the world of WW! (and to the BOAD email group)

I am in week 4 and have also joined a gym. I was down 10 lbs at my last weigh in.

I will help in any way I can with tips and recipes and encouragement.

Hang in there, sister. Special K Protein bars in Peanut Butter/Chocolate are a good mid-afternoon snack - and they really do make me feel full longer. Grapes, god bless grapes. And oranges. Mmmm.

I would kill for a pile of mashed potatoes and gravy, but instead I think “people are going to see me in a swimsuit in 6 weeks” so I don’t. It’s movitating me really well right now!!

I feel your pain. I love cheetos. But I have discovered BAKED cheetos, which make my mouth….go nuts.

And WW individual cups of chocolate chip/mint ice cream.

Two staples I must have in the house at all times.

Besides grapes. I can go through a pound or more in a week. Slightly frozen grapes give me the sweet pick me up I need.

The beginning is always the worst, right? I am ready for the moment when I start craving the healthy stuff! It does happen.

If it helps, my friend calls Doritos “diarrhea-tos” They’ve never held the same appeal for me since!

You’ll see results in no time! Sounds like you are doing great. BTW, The Baked Doritos are a great substitution
