| Hi, I'm on weight watchers, have been for about a year though I don't go to ww meetings, I do online only. I've lost 88 lbs so far. Good luck, the program works if you work it! I also find this site the most accurate now for calculating ap's earned through activity, 100 calories burned = 1 food point you can eat.

| I am also new to the forum and am a weight waters online member. I started about last October. I have not had huge success (I've lost about 20 pounds) but I've gained a lot more understanding about food and how to eat. I'd like to lose another 30 pounds. It just slowly comes off for me. I took a little break this summer and am starting back up again. This time with a new mentality. I am making healthier food choice and balancing my meals better. Before I ate with the "as long as you count it" mentality. Now I make better choices which means less sweets and mostly fruit and veggies and protein. I do get a little discouraged with all of the success stories. I don't understand how people constantly loose. Even if I'm not making the best food choices I have never gone over my points and I exercise a minimum of an hour a day!

| I have been on Weight Watchers since January 2004. I have lost 70 lbs and then gained back 35 lbs. I have started back again and want to lose 125 lbs. WW works if you do it. I feel so much better when I am on program, I am doing flex. I don't go to meetings anymore, but I weigh at home and go to sites like this one for moral support. I found this site today, and it looks awesome...I am glad I found it.

For anyone who has read my diary here, you know all about me already, but for anyone else interested in reading here is a backround.
I am 25, a mother of a 3 year old, a full time career woman and will soon be in school full time, and I have an almost husband (no marriage document, but the same realtionship stuff applies). I have done WW several times. My first go round was 3 years ago when my daughter was born. Each time I've lost 10 lbs or so, quite, gained back 5 and rejoined. This will be the last time I join WW becasue I have a different attitude about it. Its not about how many Reese's Pieces I can have for my daily points allowance, but finding balance between eating too strictly and indulging too much. I'm a vegetarian and I'm doing the Core program.
I am currently 166.6 (as of last Wednesday) with a long term goal of 140 by November 2006. I blew this last week with out of state guests and I'm contemplating not weighing in this week, but just going to the meeting. But maybe I should see the set back so I know how much work I need to put into this upcoming week. Any input?

My last 2 weeks have been a rolling ball of mess ups. I did not go to last weeks meeting and thing if I did and hadn't weighted I would have gotten back on track. I just ate a MCDs lunch and am really afraid to add up the points. I think I am going to go thursday and just not weight in and kick my butt into high gear between now and next thursday (my WI day). Ugggg, it is easy to fall of the wagon but sometimes hard to get back on. I feel like I fell off, it ran over me, reversed and did it again.  But Picking up my battered self and climbing back on. I am just not ready to face the scale to see the real damage it did. I need to move to a bigger town where I can go to an extra meeting a week on a nother day. LOL oh well. Good luck to you :)

| Krystin whenever someone posts on the ww boards they don't want to WI because they know they'll see a gain everyone tells them to weigh in anyways no matter what. Reason being that avoiding it makes doing the program too much about the number on the scale rather than an all over lifestyle change. Also the scale can fluctuate and show gains even when we've been perfectly on program and sometimes show a loss when we haven't, it all comes out in the wash in the end. It's good to learn to not let one off week derail you, I struggle with that too, good luck!

| I just started weight watchers about 2 weeks ago. I gained the traditional freshmen 15 at university and my bad habits continue 2 years later. All of my friends that gained initially have seemed to lose theirs and I am still stuck. I was worried about going on a diet because of all the bad things associated with it. Weight watchers seemed like the best bet. I have been doing the 'see how many reeses pieces you can eat' thing until now. You guys made me realize it is about a lifestyle change and I am excited about my new (hopefully lighter) life. Thanks.

This forum is really old, but I thought it deserved a new lease on life. It's interesting to see how many people do Weight Watchers serially...that is join, quit, rejoin. Most diets come and go. People try them once and then never go back once they quit.
Weight Watchers is different, people have success with it and realize what they miss about the healthy eating aspects of the diet. This is my first, and hopefully last time joining weight watchers. I want to reach my goal and become a lifetime member. I see the advantages of having regular reinforcement even after reaching a goal weight.
I get so much out of the meetings that I find it interesting more people don't take the time to attend a meeting per week. It's 1/2 hour. I have seen people come and go frequently. Many of the regulars in my meetings had reached their goal weight earlier in life and are back as new members.
WW also teaches you that fitness isn't about healthy eating alone. It is about exercise, mental fitness (a.k.a. self-esteem), and maintaining a lifestyle that nurtures good health.

HI I am tring to get back on the WW plan but I am trying to do it myself and its hard doing a diet or chang the way you eat by yourself. I know the Wendies plan is like WW. I hope you do good and reach your goal and I hope I can stick with it. Good Luck.

I looked up the Wendie plan...just google'd it. It is basically a modification of weight watchers where you fluctuate the number of points you eat on a daily basis. You stay within all the WW health guidelines and zig-zag using your flex points. There's more about it in my diary.
I have generally lost weight pretty steadily with weight watchers. When I looked up the Wendie plan, it turns out I was following it almost exactly without knowing it. I tend to use higher points on the weekends and lower points during the week. I also tend to exercise more vigorously on the weekends due to greater time flexibility.

hi there,
for the past few months, i have tried a restricted calorie diet and taebo 2 hours daily, but have had no weight loss. i was thinking of joining weight watchers. my friend did it, and she passed me her little tool calculator paper. i was jus wondering, that if i juse use that to calculate my points, if i need to officially join at all?
i was also wondering if i could combine slim fast with weight watchers. and use 2 shakes of slim fast a day, to give me two meals, and also only 4 ponts each? or is that not a good idea?!
in weight watchers .. does it matter how often you eat, or just basically staying within the points? i know that... if i stay within points i will automatically be eating healthy.. , but should i try and eat certain things more, and certain things less?!
what are 0 points? i cant remember. is it just veggies and fruits
please leme kno
thanks
