When I first joined they gave me a booklet with tons of recipes...actually, a couple different booklets. One had several examples of a whole days worth of points...entire daily menus with pictures of everything! I think this really helped me because I got a lot of ideas on what to fix. You really can eat whatever you want as long as you stay in your point range. All the veggies we are accustomed to eating on LA are zero point veggies!!! So you can use them as fillers. The leader lady told me that no one gets fat from eating veggies.
I always stay for the meetings. They give you lots of ideas and only last about 1/2 hour. She starts them buy giving awards to people who have made goals....either 5, 10, 15....lbs or percentages of their weight 10, 20, 30%. It is inspiring. I can not wait to make my first 5 and get recognized! There are also a few lifetimers in my meeting who always have good advice!
I kind of like the group meeting better than one on one....there isnt so much pressure. You can also talk to the leader or to someone working at the center one on one if you want. They have hours for that, or before/after meetings.
They have never asked me to buy anything either!
They do have some 2 pt chocolate bars that look pretty good!
So basically---I found it to be an easy switch, although I had to eat more food, and it took a few days to ramp up. It was strange ot think I could eat more and lose weight...but I did....3 lbs!

Hope all goes well!
but I still have nmanged to keep off 37 of the original 44. i am really barreling down on my food choices as well as my exercise. This really is the key to losing weight and/or keeping it off. I had too much fun in the summer time
You are doing so well on WW. Keep up with the great work!!
