Honestly....I know I should say I would go.... but If I knew I was going to put on weight and knew why, then I wouldn't pay £5 to be told that by someone else.
However....my leader wasn't very good and wouldn't have helped the situation one jot so that's probably driving my response. If you have a good leader, then I would go cos she/he will give you good ideas about the thinking thread you have posted as well.
I like all of your ideas and am going to adopt some for myself.
I would add to always have sugar free jelly and total 0% greek yogurt available...heavenly for very little points.
Also, I tend to put my chocolate treat on my tracker every day first thing then I have mentally "spent" those points - if I don't have it, then its a bonus.....it works for me. xx
