She charts her intake daily on line - and is mostly eating Lean Cuisine. She also has unlimited fruit and veggies under the plan. She has increased her exercise a bit, but has always exercised.
In the meantime, I have lost 7 pounds simply by sort of following her diet, cutting out breads almost entirely, and keeping the exercise up.
If we eat out, we invariably share a meal, and, most time, even then, it is too much for us and we don't eat it all.
I've been doing WW on line for a couple of months. I'm down almost 20 pounds without feeling too deprived. To me the big surprise was which foods WW discourages. I have to be really careful with restaurant meals or I'll burn off my whole day's point allowance in one sitting.
