Nelli good to hear from you!! and thanks for taking the time to post. I am hoping this will work for me. I know many people have had sucess.

This winter I was temporarily laid off till possibly September. I quit smoking in November and packed on the pounds so I knew becoming a SAHM wouldnt help that unless I gained control. I love the ww program but I am around food so much more now. I am just having trouble saying no when I dont have pts left. The only positive so far is that my activity level is quite high. I walk everywhere as long as it is decent out. So that is what has probley saved me the passed couple weeks.


Well thanks for the update on you and all the good info

Take care hope to hear from u again soon

Chelsie, one of the things that I didn't mention is
that only one daily of potato, rice, or pasta. Also,
it is suggested that cereal only be eaten with milk
or yogurt. That is to keep our hands out of the cereal
boxes with that "mindless eating.":)

All fruits and vegetables are on the list, as are fat
free cheeses. The new SFT limits soy selections a bit.

I think you specifically mentioned breakfast in your
original question. I will scramble an egg in a tsp. of
olive oil. I use ground white meat turkey and make my
own sausage from a recipe found on the WW MBs. I love
cream of wheat made partially from milk. That is one
way to work in dairy if that is a problem for you. Be-
cause of medication, I have to eat a banana every day,
so that works in well at breakfast.

Good luck to you with all the changes.

Oh, also I completely forgot to give you my HUGE con-
gratulations on stopping your smoking habit! That is a
gigantic step toward good health!

Just typed a long post and then lost it. I'll try again.

My normal breakfast is oatmeal with Fiber 1 and frozen berries (love the berry mix from Aldi's). Add 2 tsp Flax oil so I can get my daily oils in. On Sundays I have grits with eggs.
For lunch it's usually leftovers or PB2 on sandwich thins (2 pts), veggies and fruit.
Supper is usually a salad, meat, veggie and jello, sf/ff pudding made with skim milk or ice cream for points
Lots of good recipes that are all Core/SFT at Heather's site http://www.freewebs.com/hwc1973/
if any ingredients aren't SF she give the nutrition info.
I usually try to take 1/2 the amount of food that my eyes say I need. If I want more I can go back but usually find that I'm satisfied with the smaller amount.
Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Day one is going well but then I have only been up for about an hour! Dh said he would do the core with me except for his coffee during the day he puts cappacino in it. He also drinks sweetened green tea. But it is the eating at night that would get to me so he said he has no problem eating what I eat.

I'll let u all know how it goes

thanks
