[quote=Anonymous]Smartpoints did not work for me. Got within 2-3lbs of my goal and just couldn't get there. I then had a very stressful year in which I rapidly lost 10lbs and gained 17 without really noticing or trying.

I haven't signed back up for Freestyle but am trying to eat as much of the 0-point foods as possible and I am down almost 8lbs from the beginning of the year.  I would like to lose 4 more lbs and I think Freestyle is a good way for me. Since I am mostly vegetarian, I love that eggs, a lot of fat-free dairy, and beans are all 0 points now.

For breakfasts, I've been doing baked oatmeal with a lot of fruit, plain yogurt with fruit, or egg-vegetable bakes (I take my breakfast to work so it has to be prepared beforehand and easily re-heatable).

Fruit (sometimes with pb) or vegetables (often with a bean or plan yogurt-based dip) have been good snacks.

Vegetable and bean curries, soups, and other mixtures have been great on this plan--I add tortillas, naan, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, a baked sweet potato, quinoa, or something else because I love carbs and it makes it feel like a real meal to me, but try to limit the portions. I also like shakshusha--eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce. Very satisfying with a pita on the side. I also have gotten into spaghetti squash.[/quote]
