Have you had much success with WW? I did WW for about 8 months a couple of years ago and I gained instead of lost. I followed the point system to a T, my DM and I did it together, eating the same things and she lost but I gained. It was pretty discouraging. I still have and use my pedometer though.

Instructions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pepper, onion, celery and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add crayfish, cayenne pepper or Cajun seasoning, salt and black pepper; stir to coat. Cook until crayfish are bright pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in scallions and parsley. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
Notes
If you cannot find crayfish - also known as crawfish - you can substitute large, peeled, deveined shrimp in their place.
I prepare a version of this adding mushrooms, and put it over baby spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, fat free cheese and a boilded egg with a toasted sandwhich thin.
I have lost 10+ lbs in two months. Every now and then I hear a story like yours. The simply filling technique usually works with people who have stories similar to yours.
