I’m certain that eating the right foods and feeling satisfied so that you won’t over eat works for a lot people doing the WW Simple Start or WW Simply Filling plans, but I struggle with portions, so I felt like I needed to get back to counting points and measuring my portions. Maybe forever, maybe not, we’ll see.
I can honestly say that I am back to counting points and happy about it!

“love the life you live, live the life you love”
I agree. I feel a little more in control when I am counting points, but I love the idea of Simply Filling and plan to use it on vacation. I think Simple Start is a great way for someone who is looking to lose weight and needs help getting started.
Have a great weekend!
After following Simply Filling for several weeks, I just switched back to tracking PPVs this week, too. I enjoyed the time I spent on Simple Filling, but I just enjoy the greater freedom I have when counting PPV.
