[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 31111, member: 3388"] Fran, It's so frustrating when you're working so hard to lose weight and the scale won't budge!!! However, I think that if you are trimmer, more toned, and eating healthier, you may just be gaining muscle. Eventually the scale will drop again!!! Here are a few things I do to manage my weight. I drink tons of water. In fact, I don't drink anything but water, tea with Splenda, and coffee with Splenda and only a couple teaspoons of half and half. I only allow myself alcoholic beverages on the weekends. I limit myself to no more than two drinks either friday or saturday night. I choose my drinks carefully!!! I usually drink rum with diet coke and lime, cosmopolitans, or mojitos. I LOVE Margueritas but NEVER drink them anymore. I read that each one has over 700 calories!!! I always eat a healthy breakfast. I have a 6 oz container of plain yogurt. I put a packet of Splenda and a bit of cinnamon in it. I also have a piece of fruit, usually an apple, and a Kashi granola bar. Coffee of course!!! I read somewhere, I can't remember where, that whenever you feel like snacking to eat a piece of fruit first. I've been eating an apple first whenever I want to munch since January. Believe it or not, it really does help!!! I have a sweet tooth too. I can't eliminate sweets from my diet. I just try to eat them in moderation. I've been known to throw out junk food if I know I can't control myself around it. When I need a carb fix, I usually toast a light whole grain Thomas English Muffin and put a bit of jam or jelly on it. They have lots of fiber in them. I'll eat an apple before it and have a cup of green tea with it. In the nice weather, I eat lots of salads. I like to mix veggies and fruits together and use a low cal raspberry viniagrette dressing. Sometimes this helps with my sweet tooth. Oh no - I just looked at the time. I have to pick up easy child from her after school activities. Anyway, I think I was beginning to write a mini novel!!! When it comes to weight, I could go on and on and on... Anyway, I'm going to try those Weight Watcher's cookies and icecream treats. They sound good. Keep up the good work!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
