I certainly will check in with you every Thurs/Fri. I lost a lot of weight on WW a few years ago. I haven't gained it ALL back, but I've gained a lot more than I wanted. I lost 8 lbs before we went to Alaska and I gained 2 lbs while up there, not too bad as I ate A LOT of fish and chips (fried halibut and french fries).
I'm back on WW now, and did great yesterday. Today is good too, so far. I only get 25 points - and I don't get the extra points unless I save points from the 25.
Summer time is good for me to do WW because I love fresh homegrown tomatoes and I can eat a bacon sandwich (1.5 points for bacon; 1 point for bread (I use the 45 cal. 5 gm fiber bread that is only 1 point for 2 slices); 1 point for light miracle whip and tomato. Or I can eat a scrambled egg sandwich which is about the same.
One trick I learned a few weeks ago is grilled okra. Sounds gross, but is really quite tasty. You just put it on skewers, spay with Pam (butter flavor or olive oil flavor) and grill 3 minutes on each side on a low flame. Now, I LOVE LOVE LOVE fried okra, so I didn't think this would satisfy me - but it does and it is great.
I have some food scales and I weigh almost everything I eat so that I'm not eating too much. That really helps me too.
In the summer I like to make cold gazpacho (sp?) soup. I love the fresh tomatoes, onions, and peppers. It helps to curb the hunger.
Janet, I too, get hungry on WW. If you fill up on low point food, you are not supposed to get hungry - but raw fruits and vegetables make my tummy feel hungry, so I can't eat a lot of them or I will go on an eating binge.
Good luck! I'll be right here with you!
