I've been trying to follow the WW point system and thought I was doing pretty good. I've been told that I should never feel hungry, but I do...sometimes. I don't care for a lot of foods so I do understand it will be difficult, but so far it pretty much sucks.

I've been trying for a week now...I've lost one lousy lb. Here is a sample of my menus:

Breakfast
One cup Honey Bunches of Oats w/Almonds and 1/4 cup whole milk -- 4 points (?)
1/4 cup Florida Natural Orange juice -- 1 point (?)

I've tried the skim milk, but it tastes like chalky water to me. Plus I don't think 1/4 cup will hurt will it? I know oatmeal would be better, but after a few bites, I have to force myself to eat the rest and try not to gag...just not one of my favorite things to eat...but at least I try. I usually eat this at 6:30 AM and by 10 AM I'm hungry and shaking. So I'll eat a snack bar -- 3 points (?)

Lunch
Carl Buddig Turkey lunch meat on one piece of wheat bread -- 4 points (?)
Veggies - broccoli, cauliflower, few baby carrots - 0 points (?)

or I may have a Lean Cuisine meal and the points are usually 4 or 5 according to the box. AND the veggies also and maybe 1 piece of wheat bread to wipe up all the good stuff left...lol

Dinner (Supper)
Same thing as for lunch, but a different Lean Cuisine meal.

Throughout the day, I may have some Quaker Caramel Rice Cakes - 1 point. The most I've had during the day is 3..but I get so hungry. I also have one or two or three of the WW choc. cakes during the day....they are 1 point each. I think I'll have to quit buying them. It's very hard for me not to want to go grab one every time I feel a hunger pain.

What else can I do? Usually my points add up to 28 or a point or two lower or higher.

Marilyn....Judy....you two are the WW pros it looks like. Please help me.
