@moneywort thank goodness!  

Answer 2

Third times a charm right

@heap hopefully!  

Answer 3

Nothing is taboo on the plan. Have whatever you want, just track it. That’s the beauty of the plan! For all of us - if we’re ‘not allowed’ something, that’s what we’ll crave! When I first started I saved my weekly points for alcohol at the weekend - I pointed it (was tipsy most weekends) and lost weight every week! This is a maintainable lifestyle. @perviouson’t aim to be perfect! Aim to track honestly, move more, drink lots of water and enjoy the results of the process.

I've been doing WW for a little over 6 years this time, and still crave certain foods. It's Life.

Answer 6

Same. I’m on my 3rd week and I find my self craving things like crazy on the days I mess up or don’t eat enough for breakfast  

Comments

@coulometer74 me too!  

Answer 7

You're not the only one. The great thing about WW is that it does not tell us to say no to any particular food. We just have to learn our limits.  

Comments

@tello yes I agree!  

Answer 8

@perviousrink lots of water

Comments

@fibrinous that’s one thing I do right is drink a lot of water

Answer 9

Keep going my third time since 2003/2004. Went in 2013 before my trip to Ireland to celebrate me turning 60 and then a month ago with the Ap but went to get weighed and to a meeting yesterday 2/8/20. I think they are the BEST for loosing weight. I felt like I went thru a detox too since I went back on it. Then feel good. I am . 04 within my goal weight so did loose some that month using the Ap. I want to loose though 10 lbs. more. Mine will come off slow. Now at 66 seems to creep up faster.

@ketchum7 good job so far!  

Answer 10

I rejoined WW ELEVEN times before I decided not to quit and reached goal.

@pervious way to keep it up

Answer 11

That’s all psychological. The good thing is that you can have whatever you want, as long as it’s budgeted for! Get passed it these first few days and they will go away ❤️❤️

Answer 12

I still crave peanut butter m and ms after 3 months. but i refuse to give in!  

Answer 13

Been doing this for 3 years. It is normal to crave foods but it does lessen and it gets easier. Here are two things that helped me. 1. I added complex carbs (whole grains, whole grain products, brown rice, potatoes- both white and sweet) and I dd this before the Purple plan. That seemed to gut my cravings for snacky foods, like chips, and sweets by a lot. Not that I never eat them but it's rare. 2. I have a "Splurge @perviousay./activity" class="qa-user-link">perviousay. " Not a cheat day, as I track every bite, but a day I use a big chunk of my Weekly Points for a date date with hubby and/or an indulgence. I weigh in on Saturday morning, so Saturday is my "Splurge @perviousay./activity" class="qa-user-link">perviousay. " I don't always do it but I know I can! Plus, during the week, should I have a craving, I just tell myself I can have it Saturday! And that seems to help and quiet often, I end up not even wanting it by then!

@shaylashaylah love this thank you!  

Answer 14

It gets better. You honestly crave different foods. I used to crave fries, ice cream, bread. which I still do at times but now I crave things like a banana and peanut butter.  

Comments

@puttee @perviousiGiacomo I crave all those things too

Answer 15

It happens to everyone

Answer 16

It is hard, but you’ll make it

Answer 17

I have learned the hard way that giving up my diet soft drinks makes an incredible difference in my craving for sweets. Water or water flavored with Crystal Light seems to be ok. If one specific craving goes on for too long then save up your points and make it a special treat! Life is too short to be miserable. My weight was making me more miserable than the initial cravings . You can find what works for you

@perviousale Hickson Logan I am/was an avid Pepsi drinker so I’ve switched to one @perviousiet Pepsi a day

---

@agamic3941 I drank alot of Caffine Free Diet Pepsi and that is exactly what I did. I will still have one on special occasions but I try to avoid them. It took me a long time to realize and then accept the connection between the soft drinks and my sugar cravings. Great job and good luck!

I started over this year too, although I have been paying for my online membership. So I have lost 6 lbs but my app informs me I still have seven to go from when I gave it the free style plan. I am on green now and it is always a struggle.  

Comments

@satinet yes it is!  

Answer 22

I'm the opposite. Start off strong and then lose momentum. We all have our challenges. Don't give up!
