Hi, my name is Robin (also) and today was my first WW day. I was on Sugarbusters and it worked very well for me....I just wanted to have potatoes more often than I was....and popcorn. My first thoughts on this WOE is that is hard to plan a day's meals so far. With sugarbusters there wasn't any counting or figuring so it will take awhile getting use to. Up until today, I skip breakfast, but eat more at night. Like usually I don't have anything to eat for about 4 or 5 hours after I get up....then I would have lunch/supper and then have something else later. Today I had a piece of toast for breakfast (just trying not to skip meals) and I was starving a little while later. I had subway for lunch and now I am hungry again. I just ate an apple, but still feel hungry. I guess it is probably all in my head, ackkk!!!! DIET!!! I am doing good on my water. I have one main concern...I cook almost every night and the figuring the recipes seems a little tedious...but once it is figured I guess I won't have to do that recipe again. Well it is nice to find a board for WW that is so supportive. My stats maybe wrong in my signature...so here they are...female 25, from texas, married, no kids, my start weight on SB was 188 (got down to 172), my start weight on WW is 181.4, my goal weight is 150ish. I exercise about 3 to 4 times per week. I will check back often, good luck everyone!
Hi Robin-girl and welcome! This is some of the best support I've gotten in my weight loss journey. When I started I never thought I would be able to eat anything without my food companion but it does get easier. You'll probably find that it's hard to eat all your points for the first little while. You're right to try to avoid skipping meals, your body will be better off for it. You'll learn around week 4 or 5 a booklet called "the right mix" it's very helping in teaching which foods you should have at every meal and which ones you should only eat a little of. Make sure to get in your veggies and milk products and you'll be fine. We're here for you.

PS - I've figured out the avatar thing! There's one of a horse! How fitting.
