The lemon reminds me of the fantastic frozen lemonade popsicle-like bars that Disneyland used to have at the Sunkist Citrus House on Main Street, and maybe also at Sunkist, "I Presume", in Adventureland? You really should try 'em if you haven't already!

The only thing I can think of right now is putting cool whip between lowfat graham crackers and freezing them. That was something we did before Skinny Cows came out Tootsie Pops or small suckers and frozen grapes are easy sweet treats that take awhile to eat. Can you tell I like to streeeatch out my sweets?

Originally Posted By DyGDisney I didn't read this whole thread, but Dreyer's Light ice cream is SUPER yummy and only 2 or 3 points per serving depending on the flavor.

Also, I am a huge whip cream person, so as a special treat top it off with that. 3 pts.

I know it sounds funky, but you can't even taste the pumpkin in the chocolate cake mix, and it adds fiber, vitamins, and no fat. And if you love chocolate, its a yummy way to satisfy your cravings. WW is awesome, I lost 40 pounds, reached my goal 1 1/2 years ago, and have kept it all off. It teaches you a new way of life, a healthier way to eat.
Originally Posted By Kimrue oooo, some really awesome ideas, guys. I can't wait! It's so fun losing weight, but I just love food. It's so hard. I'm not extremely overweight but I am short and 3lbs shows up alot faster on someone who is 5'2" than on someone taller. The bad thing is, I don't actually "go" to WW meetings and stuff, I just "try" to follow the plan. My mom used to go and she got me all the info. After my daughter was born I got down to 110lbs. Hopefully I can do it again!

Originally Posted By jnemo How is everyone doing?? I have to say again thank you very much to Kar2oonman for starting this thread and opening up my eyes to try WW again. As of Tuesday I have lost 44.8 lbs. Last Friday I started a water aerobics class and I think that is helping things move some more. Hopefully, when we go on our trip to DL in October many things will be easier for me to do.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 jnemo, congratulations on your success! I chuckled when I read your thread because I started back on WW seriously 2 weeks ago and my motivation is our trip to DLR the end of Sept. I want to drop a few pounds and get in better shape (walking 45 minutes a day and using exercise thingsy that was collecting cobwebs) so I can get in and out of those rides more quickly My goal to lose by then is 5 lbs then at least 10 more by our DLR trip in December Maybe I should plan a trip every other month to keep me OP. Good Luck everyone.

So, to Tantor and 2oony and all of you, I am re-commiting to WW as of tomorrow morning May 3rd, 2005. Back to square one for me - my fourth time on WW. Why oh why do I stray from this program when it is the ONLY thing that works for me?? Yes, I've had some very stressful events in the last several months, but geez, doesn't everyone? I've got to get over using food as comfort. Alright my friends, here's to fighting the good fight and the battle of the bulge. xxoo, Lilli

What ticks me off is that I was doing really good for a long while, then I just sort of got lazy and drifted back to many of my old bad eating habits. Which means, starting all over again for me. : (

Lots of stress in my life right now, but there's always stress in life.
Originally Posted By LilliBelle 2oony, I want that good feeling again, too. Best of luck to both of us!
Originally Posted By Labuda Well, I may as well admit that I, too, have fallen off the wagon. Those who met me in January got to see me at the heaviest I have EVER been, which is up about 30 lbs over what I was when I first joined WW. As of one month ago tomorrow, though, I'm working out again, and once I'm back from WDW (which will be this Sunday), I plan to rejoin WW. Have learned aobut the new core plan from my co-worker and I think I could do that VERY easily.
