Default Need a buddy- trying to lose about 30 lbs

Hey everyone...after having a baby in June, I am now trying to lose the extra weight from before the pregnancy and the weight I gained during. I have done Weight Watchers before and loved it! I had lost 20 lbs when I got pregnant. Now, I have continued my subscription to WW online.

I'm not working right now, just taking care of and enjoying Connor. I'm on the internet a good bit so I'd like a buddy that is too. I hate cooking but have been doing alot more of it lately. I like to find different recipes. I hate cooking the same thing often. I have a George Foreman grill which has been a life saver.

There are some differences in the choices i make now and the choices i made when dieting before. I don't buy junk food at all. My "junk food" is these 2 pt packs of chips that imported here from the UK. They settle my cravings for junk without being high in points. I think they make them in Sunflower oil. My husband Nic and I don't eat fast food anymore. When we eat out, we go to an Italian restaurant that has healthy choices. When I have been hungry...mostly from boredom...I eat a banana. Somehow it works.

I'm in the Middle East so I don't have all the same food choices as in the States. We do get Lean Cuisines, Smart Ones, etc.

If anyone is interested in getting/giving support...let me know

Congrats on the new baby! He shares a birthday with my daughter, she is 3 now. I also have a son who will be a year on Oct. 16th. I am a calorie counter, which is working for me I tend to eat the same things everyday. I mix it up here and there and now I am finding myself calorie zig-zaging, though unintentional I think is a plan I can live with for the rest of my life. I just like everyone have good and bad days, this way I incorporate my bad days into my average and I don't feel guilty for not staying on track. I also drink water like crazy. I try to drink 80-100 oz a day and I can tell the difference when I don't drink enough; on the other hand I also can tell when I have had too much water. Good luck with WW, I know there is a big WW Section here. Good luck on your journey.

Hey girls...thanks for the replies! I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back on here. Sometimes the website doesn't load. I think its something with our internet over here. I don't know what to do when I can't read the posts everyday. This website is a huge help.

Jcatron- I too am a creature of habit when I find foods that I like and that are on plan. I have been eating BLT's lately with Turkey bacon, FF mayo. They're awesome. I think my downfall is potatoes. So, whenever I get a craving for French Fries, I bake some frozen fries. It satisfies my cravings.

Stacia- What plan are you doing??
