Good morning and welcome to a new week!

Not ready to weigh in yet.

I just weighed in for the week. I'm down 6 pounds for this week. That's 10 lost on the WW plan, and that's a grand total of 75.5 pounds for me. WOOHOO!

Good luck, ladies!

Hi, I am so glad to find this group. Today is my weigh in day and I am up a lb. I've been checking out several ways to eat and decided that I don't want to gain any more so I am starting the WW Flex today for portion control while learning to eat healthy. My starting weight is 220.5 and my first goal is 5 lbs. Have a good OP day.

Hugs,
Trish

Wow ekstatikia! That's a great weight loss! Congratulation!

I don't weigh in until Friday but I love reading how others are doing! Keep up the good work!

Monday will be my weigh ins cause I do it at work with co-workers wanting to lose too. My starting is 195, I have never been this heavy (without being prego) so I'm excited to get this journey underway.

Estatikia Congratulations-that's A Lot...keep Up The Good Work!
Any Advices For Us?

Michelle - since you asked, sure. I always drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, but they're 16 ounce glasses, so that's a LOT of water... also, I eat as few processed foods as possible. I eat oatmeal for breakfast every single day because it keeps me full until lunch time... and I eat a lot of zero point vegetables. Hope that helps!

Megan Congratulations on your 6 lb loss and your over all 75.5 loss. Thanks for sharing what you do. I'm already a big water drinker at least 3 32oz jugs and some times four. I am beginning to use a lot of the 0 point veggies a lot as well. You are doing great and a great inspiration as well.

Megan..........Congratulations girl! Wow! I'm so impressed and so excited for you! Keep it up! I really should work on the water thing!

Megan--Congrats on the weight loss! Also thanks for sharing your secrets.

Thanks, everyone. And no problem with the sharing! Anytime anybody wants to know anything, I'll be glad to share. One thing I didn't mention is that I'm kind of doing WW along with the 'Flat Belly' diet by Prevention. If anybody wants a link for more info, let me know. I get chocolate EVERY DAY! And avocado and peanuts and sunflower seeds and olives if I want that stuff (I have them often)... lots of 'good fats'. It keeps me feeling satisfied moreso than before. I have to use my flex points to do it and stay on-plan, but it's not a bad deal, you know... as long as I'm still losing steadily, I'm going for it!

Hi Megan Your before & after pics are great! Thanks for sharing them. I saw the the "Flat Belly'" diet in my Prevention magazine. I take it and the WW magazine. I added 1/2 avocado to my salad each day counting Flex points after seeing it in the magazine. Did you buy the book or just going by the magazine? I already use olive oil don't like green olives, but love the black. I wasn't sure they would work the same and magazine did't mention them that I recall. I eat 1/2 oz almonds which was mentioned in WW magazine and I have learned to enjoy dark chocolate as part of my Flex Plan. Thanks again for sharing.

Tirsh, thanks! I'm going by the magazine and the sites I found online. Here's where I got my list of MUFAs:

Megan--Thanks for the link. Very interesting.

Thanks Megan. I went to the website and got the info too. I was thrilled to find that I can have the black olives. I would love to know the recipe for the Sassy water, but can't go the money for the book right now. I used to brew ginger tea and drink it. Guess I'll have to do that again.
