Hey everyone! [View all]

Hope all your healthful journeys are going well! I've only recently discovered this group. I'm in the process of shedding the 40 pounds I gained while living with my evil MIL last year.

I started out with Weight Watchers in October 2011; did that for a couple of months and lost about 10-12 pounds. But, I was hungry a lot on that plan--not good. About a month in, I started also tracking calories and macronutrients (carbs, fat, protein--and sodium) on myfitnesspal.com, and finally ditched WW for MFP. It's free, and via the community forums, I've learned a lot about fitness and nutrition. I'm now 11 pounds from my (first) goal weight, and am NOT hungry, ever! I pretty much eat whatever I want, in moderation. It works great (for me)--I am not in a big hurry to lose the weight, so that helps, too.

Just wanted to say howdy!

I think some substitutions are worth trying. I hate low-fat salad dressings and don't eat them. But Habibi Sep 2012 #11
