Hello, I just joined the site, i am an on and off again member of w/w i joined in december, got off track with it around new yrs, and have been doing a lil bit of it here and there! Am trying faithfully to get back on it! i have been looking for recipes for dinners and such, i think thats the bad part i have been having problems with me being on ww and having ot put everyone else in the house on it with me pretty much. Or i go overboard! i love love food!~ but anyway im 23 i have a little girl who is almost 22 months old I lost 30 lbs while i was pregnant kept it all off for almsot 4-5 months then started taking b/c. Which is where i know i got most of it from. but im not blaming it all on that and i know i can't, but a huge part of it is from that! Anyway i found this place from the oprah magazine decided id go ahead and try and hope i like it and its what i need for the motivation!
If theres anything you want ot know ask, i hate doing these introduction things bc im so clueless at what to say then i just ramble lol!!!

Hey Heather!

Glad to see you here! You'll find lots of information on the site, and be sure to check out all the other forums.

I don't know what b/c is...

Sounds like you need some consistency! I think there are lots of good meals that are healthy for everyone, you just have to be creative. Chicken is always a good starting point, as are lots of vegetables.

I think most of us here also love food! The surprising thing is that you can still love food and lose weight--you just can't go hawg wild with it.

See ya!

Welcome! I LOOOOOOVE food and cook amazing meals that are flavorful, rich, and utterly satisfying. They all fit in my calorie plan. It IS do-able! I have dinner parties with my recipes and people love them, and never know its an "on-plan" meal.

I always ramble on introductions too.

Try checking out the weight watchers or the calorie counters forums...lots of ideas there, and recipes too.

Anyway, welcome and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Heather, I have a similar story. Been doing WW online, only logging in weekly with the weight- and read about this in O yesterday. Thought, I'll try it. I have forever been dealing with my weight. My Kids are almost all grown and out of the house, youngest is a sr in HS- I only want to log into WW when my weight is down - I was doing so good! Since September lost 12 lbs and was keeping it off- plateaued- but in the past 2 weeks saw it creep back up to the 190's again. Very frustrated. But yesterday was Ash Wednesday (I'm Catholic) so I gave up bread for lent- Hopefully, I will eat brown rice,popcorn and oatmeal instead. Good for you on losing so much after your baby was born.

Welcome! There are many helpful places on this site. Glad you found it and chose to join us!

Way to go on those 6 pounds!

Thats everyone! I need to go browes and post in some forums!
