I am just loving WW! I had sworn never to diet again, having lost and found the same 50+ pounds over and over and over again since the age of 13, but this thread (and the Jennifer Hudson commercials) caught my eye. I've actually lost 4 pounds since just after Christmas, but have only been on WW since last thursday. I'd started out with the very virtuous, mostly salad and veggies diet, but was starting to realize that it just wasn't something I could sustain. Now I have some guidelines about adding some more "regular" foods to the salads and veggies and am getting a clue about how training impacts the amount of food I need to/get to eat. Activity points are so motivating during the off season! I put on 15 pounds very quickly after the last century ride of the season and I was no longer training like a maniac, and piled on even more over the holidays. Hopefully, there will be no more of that. This feels like something I can sustain, even if I don't lose much weight--and is certainly healthier than the way I was eating before!
