What kills me is that I don't meet the WW profile of what my "ideal weight" should be...if I got to that point I'd be anorexic looking. So it's better for me to go by how I look, how the clothes fit, etc. versus the number on the scale.<BR/><BR/>Protein at breakfast helps, and also I keep non-fat dairy in there too which seems to help keep the edge off the hunger. Lots of small meals. And, ironically, I've had my best success on WW when eating the maximum points per week and not sticking with the minimum - it's just not enough food for my body and then I don't lose any weight. If I eat a teensy bit more, it really comes off at a reasonable rate.<BR/><BR/>Good luck. I know you can do it!Builder Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713736027840470271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-27180359624604232182007-11-30T20:59:00.000-06:002007-11-30T20:59:00.000-06:00Came over from Pioneer Woman - glad I did.

I know what I *have* to do, but just don't seem to have the motivation to actually do it. Losing weight sucks, but I know that I will feel better once I shed about 35 pounds.<BR/><BR/>It's so difficult to find time to exercise and eat right with children and a job. It's much easier to stuff crap (yummy crap) into my mouth.<BR/><BR/>My goal is to be pre-baby (baby #1) weight by baby #2's first birthday. But if I don't get off my ass, it's not going to happen.<BR/><BR/>Good luck. And know that you are not alone.Leighann of Multi-Minding Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887411464033643026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-7317895924625379492007-11-30T13:15:00.000-06:002007-11-30T13:15:00.000-06:00And P.S. morning protein is essential according to...And P.S. morning protein is essential according to my diabetes nutritionist!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486438725653025356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-76760656500042364092007-11-30T13:14:00.000-06:002007-11-30T13:14:00.000-06:00Rock on chica.
