I need as much advise as possible.
Don't they give you advice at WW?

Also, I am not very creative with the food I need to eat to hold me over.
Don't they give you creative and healthy food ideas at WW?

I am on the flex plan and getting so discouraged that I am considering giving up.
Don't they have support groups with WW who help out those who feel discouraged?

If anyone has food suggestions or any words of wisdom I would really appreciate it.
Well - I hope you're not spending much money on WW because it doesn't sound like they're offering you much if they're not giving you support, food ideas, and advice.
The main thing that I would tell you is - avoid all processed foods. If you can't find it in nature the way you cook it, then don't put it in your mouth. This includes all junk food and most side dishes you find in the store.
There are a million vegatable stands on the sides of the road around here selling apples, strawberries, corn on the cob, string beans, cucumbers, squash - it's all cheap, and it's all easy to come by.
Buy it - and eat it.
Stay away from restaraunts - except maybe subway, they have good subs - and the junk food aisle in stores.
A good breakfast is one serving of fruit and maybe a granola bar or toast. Then for lunch - get a sandwich (lay off the mayo) and another fruit. Then for dinner, one plate of food - like stir-fry and rice.
That might be too carby for some people, so adapt that to what you feel comfortable with. Important thing is: don't adopt a diet you're uncomfortable with. If you don't like your diet, you won't stick to it.
Try to find a diet that you would like to follow even if you weren't trying to lose weight. Then moderate your portions so that they're healthy.
