I have decided to give WW a try at home this time , last time i attended meeting , i just wondered if there was any tips anyone could give me.

i have been doing ww at home for three months and i have been doing it ok. I know for me using this website and the fact that i want it bad enough have been sufficient. Also, a lot of prayer works too! i like doing it at home better.

i've been doing ww@home for about a month now.

what helps me is:

1. setting a weigh-in day. otherwise i would be weighing myself every five seconds. i only step on that scaled once a week, first thing friday morning.

2. if i have a not so good day i just record the food and start again the next day.

3. stocking my fridge with wholesome vegetablesa and fruits

4. coming here. reading the threads. finding support. it's wonderufl here.

5. writing in my blog. i find it really helps keeping me motivated and reminding myself why i'm doing this.

Carrie thank-you so much for you post , and your pointer are great i actully do all of that now , i weight in every monday morning , ive change everything in my fridge to veggie/fruit/ whoelmeal etc but wait doesnt seem to be shifting that quick but i have only been dieting for a week, i also write down everything i eat , the only real problem i have it with crisps i crave them so much.

Do you have the baked Lays kinds of chips over there? that might be a way to satisfy your craving without eating reagular greasy chips. It's not the best solution, but it's a start! What is it you crave about them? If it's the crunch, find a crunchy veggie you like. If it's the salt, make something salty for yourself (a hardboiled egg with lots of salt or something). If it's the potato, just have a real potato! They're much better for you in the long run. Find out what it is you crave and that'll help you control it.

Thats actully a really good idea , i never stopped to think what it actully is about crisps i like i think its the overall taste but im not sure haha how weird im really gonna have to sit downa dn think about this now.

I've been doing ww at home for a month today, and am getting along great. I've never been to a meeting, but the encouragement on this site is fantastic! The recipes are good, and everyone is happy when you lose, and commiserate when you don't. good luck!

I really like the recipes too.... i made the best soup for 1 pt/cup, black bean and chicken. It's SO good. I made a huge batch to freeze. I've also gone through the muffin recipes people post, but I haven't quite made any of them yet. I could spend hours in the recipes section!!

Im gonan try the reciepes too , especially the cola chicken it sounds a bit strange but omg how easy is that to make.

Only weigh in once a week. DRINK alot of water. Make mini goals despite your goal at the end. Keep a food journal and write every pt down.
good luck
