    Yes my son. I can't see the benefit of a meal replacement drink, when you can have a nutritious meals, within the guidelines. As for Weight Watchers I don't know, but as my Dietitian put it, once you reach the level out, where your body automatically finds it's weight plateau, then you should go on some maintenance.

    What happens, if you don't do some sort of maintenance to hold at that weight, you tend to explode, like gain weight at twice the rate and not realize it till it's to late.

    The only additional I take, besides my heart and blood pressure pills, are a multi vitamin like Centrum, and I also have to take iron, I have a problem in that area.

    Please don't go loosing more than you should, balance your diet with exercise to replace muscle.

    Measure out and about that bowl of cereal or even oatmeal, including the fruit, loco, maple syrup, milk, and yogurt you increase it. Have a set of measuring cups and spoons around instead of eyeballing.
