I hit my 5% goal and lost 2 pounds this week. How did everyone else do?
Any advise for sticking with it would be more than welcome.

Congrats! Good job!

When I was on Weight Watchers I would look up Recipes that easily had WW points each week, and pick out a few favorites so I had easy go-to recipes

Congrats on making your first 5%! Wonderful!

I got some WW cookbooks from the library- most turned out good. I also try to fill up with a lot of veggies rather than fruit and because veggies also bulk up meals and add flavor too without adding too much points. Also, another tip- don't deprive yourself, do indulge once in a while or make a low(er) point alternative.

Also, do check out the WW Recipes here- lots of good stuff.

I lost 3.2 this week, for a total of 23 pounds in 10 weeks. I'm having NO trouble sticking with it because it's a totally easy plan to follow. I can have ANYTHING I want and I track EVERYTHING I eat - good, bad, or otherwise. Last night I had three beers while watching the Bruins game - that's 12 points, and I tracked it. Now I know how many weekly points I have to work with for the rest of the week. I also walked over five miles yesterday and earned 10 AP (according to my WW pedometer) so I am totally okay with working those beers into my day.

When someone says "How do I stick with it?" I just think "Why NOT stick with it?!" By making the best choices the majority of the time and still not depriving myself of something I really want, I've lost 23 pounds! In another 10 weeks, I could be down nearly 50 pounds! In 40 weeks, I could be down 100 pounds! Time is going to pass no matter what, so why not make that time count!

Congratulations, Lisa! I like your "why NOT stick with it" attitude, too.
