Hey y'all! So I fell off the band-wagon (pun intended) and bellied up to the holiday binge-fest which was filled with gravy-butter-and-chocolate-laden foods. Easy sliders that go straight through the band. I gained 13 pounds. I refuse to update my ticker to indicate this because I'm gonna lose that weight again, dammit.

I decided to join Weight Watchers and I really like the plan. I've been struggling with food choices and ideas for meals, snacks, etc. and I really like their recipes. You can modify them to add or reduce points as you like. The hardest part so far is the fact that it's lower fat than I'm used to. I'm okay with reducing sugar but eating plenty of healthy fats from avocados, olive oil, and nuts/nut butters helps me stay full and those are high in "points" so I've had to cut that dramatically.

But aside from that, the plan is easy to follow. I need flexibility in my diet or else I go nuts. That being said, when I allow myself too MUCH flexibility I don't lose weight. This plan is a very happy medium.

Anyway, just checking in to see if there are any buddies out there doing WW or who are interested in it. Also interested to see if there are still bandsters around - I realize it's a fading surgery.

I was just sleeved last week, but I did follow WW in the past. Try looking at the recipes on HungryGirl.com - she has some really fantastic recipes on her site.
