If you cannot go to the meetings, try to use all the tools available.
Get a spiral notebook and use it as your tracker or use one of the on
line sites. Write down everything you eat, water, fruits, vegetables
etc. just as if you were going to meetings. Weigh yourself on the same
day each week. Look on line for all of the info regarding calorie
content of what you eat.

You can lose weight even without a lot of exercise if you do not go over
your points for the week. Vary what you eat and have foods you like
available so you won't be tempted to go off the plan. Don't get
discouraged.

if you have the at home kit then you have all of the material, and you can
come here for support, read it carefully as they instruct, and keep very
careful track of your points, you will find that after a few weeks the foods
you eat will be second nature for you. at first DH kept a list of often
eaten foods on the refrigerator, again, welcome and good luck, Lee
