tpiercefield says "Eat Great With W.W" about Weight Watchers

tpiercefield — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 08:32:02 GMT

I really didn’t think that this weight watchers program was worth the money. I actually gained weight during the course, and found it unpleasant and useless.

All the meetings can provide is advice, someone will tell you, “don’t eat so much food”, and “do exercise”, but it’s really up to you. Therefore it requires self-motivation. I found it difficult to motivate myself, and thought that paying $10 would entitle me to more help.

Another problem was that i found one of the women at the class to be a bit aggressive. This rather ruined the meetings, I was actually quite scared. Although i’m sure this is not the case at the majority of meetings.

I went to the classes for 9 weeks. Total cost, $90. Total gain, 10 pounds. I recommended this form of weight loss only for the well motivated and strong willed. To be honest I really could not be bothered.

Some Of The Food Was Really Good and then there was some food that was just Nasty..the portions are small. i guess im just...

nikki2525 says "An easier way to lose weight and eat what you love forever" about Weight Watchers

nikki2525 — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:55:48 GMT

I have used Weight Watchers off and on for years, starting right before I got pregnant I lost 12 pounds in 2 months. You lose weight the healthy way with weight watchers. After I had my baby I went back on weight watchers, it is a slow process but lost 21 pounds in 4 months. What I love most is that once I finally lose the weight I want to lose I can easily keep following the plan without feeling like I am on a diet for life. It is the only weight loss plan I have found that you don't do for a few months and then gain it all back because it is unfortunately not easy to follow for life.

pitcherday says "WeightWatchers is a great plan and support group" about Weight Watchers

pitcherday — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 05:52:48 GMT

I went to WeightWatchers in Colorado Springs, and Killeen, TX. In both states, I found the leaders to be very well informed and personable. Even the beginner leaders that only had a few meetings under their belt were great!

I like the support group aspect of it. It's good to be with people that have shared the same struggles and hear from people who have overcome those. They have great tools for getting past a plateau and other common weight-loss issues. When you go to an in-person meeting, they often share great recipes. They also have great local supermarket finds that help you shave off the points. I really enjoyed it. It may sound funny, but I loved it when I lost 5 pounds and got a sticker and everyone clapped for me. I also loved seeing people shed their weight and applauding them too! It was inspiring to see someone reach goal or shed that baby weight.

They have the two plans, points and core. I have done both. The points one is where you are allotted a certain number of points...

babydollplus says "Weight Watchers Rocks" about Weight Watchers

babydollplus — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:06:39 GMT

Weight Watchers is the best "Diet" on the planet. I have watched many people, including myself, drop pounds the most sensible way possible.

One does need to remember that Weight Watchers is a lifestyle and not a "diet". In counting points to lose the weight and then counting points to maintain the weight, you find out what works for you may not work for another and therefore allows the flexibility to eat the foods you want.

I especially enjoy the online benefit. Recording your points each day is important. It makes you more aware of what you eating on a daily basis. The ability to input recipes and find out the points per serving on your own recipes is fantastic.

I also like the ability to trade exercise for food. It give you more of an incentive to get some kind of exercise every day.

The message boards are very handy as well, as you can join the right topic and group for your support.

Weight Watchers is the only plan that I have been able to follow and keep the weight off. I love it. It is great! I will suggest this life style to anyone that is interested in losing weight. it works! You can still have some of the food that you love but you learn to watch your portion sizes.

annsliel says "Weight Watchers helps a person lose weight the healthy way." about Weight Watchers

annsliel — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:14:13 GMT

I've seen Weight Watchers work. Two people I know went down about 4 dress sizes and even more. It allows you to see what foods are good for you and what foods are not good for you. The points helps you see that. It also limits the servings you have at each meal. Weight Watchers is a healthy way to lose weight and keep the weight off. I bought the Weight Watcher books that have food items and the points they are worth. One of the books includes restaurants which is a good source to show what you can order and the points they are worth. Weight Watchers is a great weight loss program that shows great results.

tbirdzchick04 says "Weight Watchers- Easiest Diet and best for you" about Weight Watchers

tbirdzchick04 — Thu, 28 May 2009 03:49:26 GMT

I would recommend Weight Watchers to anyone casuaully trying to lose weight. In August of 2007, my dad, my brother and I all started Weight Watchers (with the books and calculator, but did not go to the meetings). I lost a total of 20 pounds, my dad lost 35 pounds, and my brother lost 25 pounds. The program is really easy to learn and also easy to follow. You don't have to cut anything out of your diet- you can still have cookies, chips, and pop, but all in moderation. Writing down what you eat and using the point system makes you feel accountable for your actions, which can help in your decision-making process. As a soon-to-be dietician, out of all the commercial diets, I would say that Weight Watchers is the best. However, it depends on the individual; it may not work for some. Weight Watchers, unlike others, teaches you healthy eating habits and influence you to make lifestyle changes and it doesn't make you dependent on the program nor the program's products. You learn how to eat healthfully...

JimmyP says "I can eat anything I want and still lose weight!" about Weight Watchers

By following the Weight Watcher's point system I have learned how important it is to read labels and more importantly, how to interpret them. I have lost 40 pounds since Christmas by following their plan and exercising by walking and using a video game fitness system.

tammywilkins says "I hated it!" about Weight Watchers

tammywilkins — Wed, 20 May 2009 16:07:00 GMT

I was very excited to try weight watchers. I had heard ONLY good things about them and heard that they had a free trial. It seemed like a win win.

Well when I got to the weight watchers place, I found out that the "free trial" was almost 50 bucks and another 13 per week! And that I had to go EVERY week or I would have to start all over again and pay the almost 50 bucks all over again. I paid and I went to the meetings. All the meeting times were terrible. They had maybe 3 a day and they were either at 9 am or 12 or 6pm. How was someone that works going to make these meeting times? But I did go. I would mess up our families dinner hour or my lunch hour to go. The meetings were full of people that wanted to hear themselves talk!

It was frustrating and I felt I wasnt getting anything out of it. I really wanted the meetings to be a place that I would come away from feeling like this was a great thing. It wasnt. I also was feeling frustrated at the lack of weight that I was losing. I was...

Catieconner says "Follow the points." about Weight Watchers

Catieconner — Mon, 18 May 2009 13:55:02 GMT

My mother and I have both tried weight watchers and had excellent results. The great thing about weight watchers is it is just that a weight watcher. you can eat everything that you eat now including fast food and all you have to do is follow the point system. For those who dont know about the point system let me give you a brief explanation. Every food is given a point value and based on your current weight and where you want to be you are given a point total. If your point total is 24 you cant eat more than 24 points in a day. All though it doesnt sound like alot it can be difficult to eat all those points. Some food are zero to few points making it easy to snack all day and never be hungry. Some days your so full you dont know if you can get those last points in, no problem you can carry them over to the next day so if you go over a few its not a big deal. Ive lost 54 pounds so far and my mom lost 120 pounds doing what you do everyday.....eating. The best thing its NOT a diet. Its learning...

My2centsnmore says "good for plan if you're disciplined" about Weight Watchers

My2centsnmore — Sat, 16 May 2009 23:56:20 GMT

Weight Watchers is not a diet - it's a definite life style -eating healthy for life. I am a "lifetime" memeber & I've put the weight on & off - This program works - but you have got to have the motivation in yourself & the desire to pay attention. After I hit menopause it felt like a hopeless battle & the meeting leader (even though she had been through menopause) could offer little to no help. If you are extremely obese - the meetings can be very inspirtational but I've found that the leaders offer little support to those persons struggling to loose 20 lbs or less.

ausdrew says "Losing it and Loving it" about Weight Watchers

ausdrew — Thu, 14 May 2009 02:17:11 GMT

All my life I have struggled with my weight. As a teenager I kept my weight down by not eating. This only gave way to horrible eating habits as an adult. The last 10 years I've had many miscarriages and 2 babies. During this process I've gained an extra 100 pounds. I've tried weight loss pills, shakes, so many different things. I even thought that I would just accept my size and go on with life pretending to enjoy life. Last May we went on vacation and for the first time I had trouble fitting into a ride. Embarrassed was an understatement. I was mortified. At that time I decided to try something once again that had worked for me. Weight Watchers, June 2008 I started my weight loss journey agian. Last week I hit my 40 pound loss. Slow and Steady has been my motto but I'm hoping this time it will work. What I like is with this program is that it's easy and doable something you can do forever. This is a Lifestyle not diet!! For the first time in a long itme...

sorenmcds says "It changed my life!!" about Weight Watchers

sorenmcds — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:08:55 GMT

I've heard about Weight Watchers for years and I always thought that it was old fashion or out of date. Then my sister in law lost forty pounds and I took a better look. It was what I was searching for for years!!! In my heart I didn't just want to lose weight I wanted to be healthier. I wanted to make a life change. Weight Watchers helped me lose weight, but it helped me understand why I was overweight in the first place. I was able to understand the reasons for my overeating. Watching out for triggers and planning ahead allowed me to feel in control of my life finally. I also had this preconceived notion that to get excersise I had to go to the gym and lift weights and sweat and be miserable. Instead, I've learned that I CAN enjoy excersise and I can make things I enjoy into excersise. For instance, I enjoy shopping so if I park waaay at the back of the lot, I can get a 15min walk in before I even get into the store! I know, it's obvious things but to hear them from one supportive source...
