first ww meeting

[minniemouse71]

Hi, just attended my first ww meeting tonight. Sounds like something that I can stick with. I tried the Atkins diet, but am not much of a meat eater, so that wasn't a plan for me. I am looking forward to my first 7 day cruise in November and after seeing pictures of myself at CC I am determined to loose weight!! I have been reading these boards for a while now, but just never made the commitment to sign on. I need to loose quite a bit of weight, and am hoping that when I feel like cheating I can come here for support. Everyone seems to be very supportive and shares lots of good ideas. I am looking forward to making some new friends here. Wish me luck, I am sure I will need it!!

Welcome to WISH and to WW! I think you will find WW to be very versatile and hopefully a program to suit your needs. Stop by often as there is always a lot of support around here.

you have come to the right place and I'm very proud of you for jumping in and moving out of lurkdom!

Check out the recipes in the healthy eating section - and then share your favorites with us as you make them! We have a belated birthday dinner planned for DH in a couple weekends and I'm making him a WW friendly dessert. I made him the mocha angle food cake for weekend of actual b-day and it's very good. Point being - with WW there are lots of treat to be had without cheating!

Hi, and thank you for the warm welcome!! I've done pretty well today. Made one bad choice, I had meetings all day today, so for lunch I grabbed one of those little cracker and cheese packets and an apple, figuring I wouldn't have much time for lunch, can you believe when I came home and figured the points for that crackers and cheese it was 5 points!! I could have had a ww entree for that. I guess I have a lot to learn about "points" in a food. I am only at 19 for the day, and have only one more bottle of water to drink, no problem. I saved a couple of points for a ww ice cream treat tonight. Good luck to everyone. I hope you all have a good day tomorrow.

Welcome to W.I.S.H. and WW. I love both of them. I have tried so many diets and quit them because they are so restrictive. I like the fact that I can eat most of the foods I like. Just modified a bit. AND if you make a wrong choice thats what those lovely flex points are for.

Actually did well today. Has anyone else tried the ww frozen entrees? Since I am a very lazy cook, ( microwaving is cooking right)?? I find that these help me greatly. The best part about them is they are really quite good, and only 5-6 points. Whoohoo!
I think that I have found a friend. Thanks for all the support, I just knew I came to the right place!

Keep up the good work! I'm doing WW also.

Tried my 1st one yesterday for lunch, the shrimp marinara. It's only 3 pts and, it was quite good, if you like shrimp. I have a few more in the freezer for hurry-up times, like beef with oriental veggies and some chicken or turkey one. I also bought the eclairs. Haven't tried them yet tho but, I will.
