Weight Watcher into So. Beachers
I too did WW, very successfully long ago (before points!!)—then when
I had gained all the weight back, plus—tried it again—and I found
I just could not stick to it! All I THOUGHT about was food, and how
many points something was, etc. I find that South Beach is much less
obsessive—I have lost 37 pounds since starting (started at 248) and
would like to lose about 35-40 more. I am no longer in my thirties
(62), so I think a slightly higher goal weight will be a better and
more stable line to hold!
I like to cook, so all the recipes offered here and elsewhere, plus my
own variations of favorites keep me from being bored. And I am able
to focus on things other than food—gardening, artwork, and my day
job of caring for my 2 granddaughters. Incidentally—cottage cheese
“rice” pudding is awesome—I add nonfat yogurt to the basic lo-fat
cottage cheese, vanilla, Splenda mix and top with Cool-whip—you’d
think you were cheating!
