Oct 2014

I need to lose weight and I'm on Weight Watchers, BUT I've decided to have my "points" using protein, good fat (and I include butter in that category) and low carbs (trying to stay away from rice, cereal, bread, etc.) I am now frying my eggs in a teaspoon of butter and having olive oil on my salad at lunch. Let me tell you, I'm not as hungry and I'm still losing weight. We haven't used margarine in years.

Edited to add that I'm also having vegetables and no fruit - it stunts my weight loss.
