I have done WW before (twice) and lost significant weight but was always always always starving and gained it back. I am excited that this program seems to work without the hunger and that there are so many of you doing well on it. I Like the idea of packaged food actually, one less thing for me to think or worry about.
I have about 120 lbs to lose and am looking forward to getting to know all of you.

I am in week 16............it WORKS!!! when you get hungry or need motivation look at the progress pictures in the mini-goals section.
I found it helped to stave off the hunger by eating often. I still do really.
breakfast......whatever packet you choose.
snack before lunch......salad....lettuce only I find romaine the "heartiest"
lunch......protein (either your cooked or a packet) and 2 cups of veggies
snack before dinner......salad lettuce only again
dinner.....just like the above lunch.
snack before bed.....protein pack.
This really helped me the first few days I really was not hungry.
Starting this week
I have been on IP for a month now and LOVE it! I really love coming to this site and reading about everyone success. It keeps me motivated to stay on track, especially on the days where all I want to eat is anything with calories and carbs! I think the best advice I got from the "senior" members is to read the newbie thread with different ideas to keep things interesting. If you are always trying new things, it will keep you from getting bored of the same things over and over again!
