Biggest Losers...heh.heh

One of the things they have at Weight Watchers now is called the Core Plan where you can eat all you want of fruits, veggies, lean meat and fish and whole grains. I did lose 10 pounds at it last fall (and have kept it off), but WW just isn't my type of weight loss group, either. I know that if I just keep to those guidelines, though, that not only will the weight come off, I will be eating healthier. We did switch to whole grain pasta (which is much better now than in the past) and to the leaner turkey sausages, salmon patties and skim milk...and yes, the milk is part of the eating plan also. In fact some sort of dairy is more or less required.

We've done the South Beach Diet, also, which seems to be fairly closely aligned with those foods. It's just so boring the first two weeks that I have trouble getting past that point. And I really do love the fruits and dairy which are nonexistent during that startup part.

Jane - there's nothing wrong with having perhaps some Canadian bacon, egg substitute (or egg whites) and whole grain toast for breakfast. You can even get low fat varieties of a lot of different cheeses now.

I guess this means that I'm in, too. Sure would have been easier to keep the weight off 15 years ago when I first did it...the skin wasn't so loose when I lost, either.
