Hello,
I'm laughing to myself because once you use the points system, I don't
ever think you stop looking at all foods as points. WW is great, but I
so much other things on my plate right now, I'm concentrating on dietary
changes to begin with. I can't worry about points when I'm trying a
diet that does not include wheat. It's a full time project trying to
adjust.
I just began my fourth month on lupron and I've gained 8 to 10 lbs. I
feel so much better hearing that others have experienced this too.
I'm trying not to get too overwhelmed with diet......I'm going to
continue watching what I eat on my own and I just joined Curves and love
it! I don't really care what # is on the scale, I just want to be
healthy and feel good in clothes again.
Keep counting, drinking the water and moving!!
