ok..so even though i'm doing ww, i'm still gaining weight.

its my own fault..i'm allowing myself too much food...i havent really been following it, and i weighed myself this morning and i think i'm more than i was when i started ww.

Does anyone recommend a diet pill to control my cravings...no ephedra? how about trim spa?

I don't think you should use diet pills. Try adding more fiber rich foods to you diet. They will make you feel full faster, plus it helps with digestion and moving things along...

Try for a few weeks to stay on program to see if that's the reason why you're not losing weight. Drink more water and exercise. If you exercise then you can still eat some of the foods that you want to eat.

Good luck!!

Are you drinking plenty of water? That's supposed to clean things out. Try keeping things you can snack on like health bars or fruit. So at least it will fill you up a little.\

It's so hard to not go overboard. I will be tested this weekend with two parties. One tonight and one sunday. I'm gonna try my very best. Tonight is harder because it is a sweet sixteen and there will be a cocktail hour. Sunday should be a little easier because it's a baby shower with no cocktail hour (i hope). The thing we have to remember is to limit our portions. I gotta be honest, sometimes I don't sit down and write down every single damn point of things I eat. I start slacking off on my journal but I do watch my portions. I have really learned how to eat well portioned meals with WW and I have kicked some of my eating habits away. My biggest one was snacking late at night, and I don't mean a low fat snack I mean meals. Now I am looking for products with low fat and fat free. I'm drinking 2% milk as opposed to regular whole. I was drinking fat free milk but I just couldn't do it. It looks and tastes like water, If I want water I'll drink regular water....LOL so now I went with 2% milk and so far I can drink that.

thats just it though..i am eating tons of fruits and veggies and so much water...well over what i should be drinking and i go to the gym a few times each week. i have to learn to be satisfied after i've had my portion of whatever it is and then if i'm still hungry a little later,then try a low point snack or something.

its just very aggravating, and its totally my own doing!!

i'm hoping that since today is my 6 month mark, that it will be a reality check!!

Yes try the low point snacks from WW. I bought these bomb pops (not WW brand) but I looked at the nutrition label and figured out that if I have one of them it's only one point. I was so excited cuz these are the red, white and blue bomb pops that I love. It doesn't say low fat or fat free either...LOL....The brand is called Eskimo or something like that. I was so happy! I also keep reduced calorie and low fat cherry flavored jellos in the fridge. Of course my husband is eating all of them. He'll snack on anything when all the good stuff runs out...LOL LOL LOL. The one thing I cannot get into is yogurt. It just does nothing to me. I know its good for you but I just cannot get into it for the life of me. I've tried it but after one spoonful I just want to spit it out! DH loves it though.

And try to get some exercise in...that's important too...Don't weigh yourself every week, you'll make yourself even more crazy. My first week on WW I lost 4.4, then 2 more the second week 2 and then the third one i lost 1, it just depends on how your body feel. and you know what? i didn't feel it when I lost the 4 or notice it either. I am now though when I see a little difference in my clothes. I am going to stick with this until my cruise trip and my trip to an upstate NY resort. No diet while on vacation. After that I'll see how much weight I gain during my vacation and see where to take it from there. If It's not too bad then I don't think i'll go back to WW and just control what I eat. That is the most important thing to me. Controlling my portions.

Good Luck to you Raven! you can do it...

I have found that if I am starving before a meal, I eat more than I normally would. So, now when I am feeling like that, I force myself to eat vegatables before my dinner is ready so that I am not swallowing my dinner! That really helps and helps control my urge to eat more than I should.

Sometimes if I am starving and need something quick, I have a spoonful of low-fat peanut butter. I think the fat & protien helps make me full for a while. It's 2 points (I think) and worth it.

Sugar free Jello is another great thing to snack on- even before a meal. It's zero points (as long as you don't eat the entire thing) and it's filling and delicious.

I would cut back on the fruit!!!!!

When you eat fruit (high glycemic anyway) your blod sugar goes way up, then shoot down, so then you start craving bad food that has sugar.

Once you take most of the sugar from your diet you will crave so much less, or none at all!
