jcatblum says "Easy to follow plan!" about Weight Watchers

jcatblum — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:56:32 GMT

I started Weight Watchers online 2 months ago. I did the online because I do NOT want to go to meetings! Also I really don't think I would fit in at meetings, since I just wanted to loose 12 pounds. The plan is easy to follow. I log in and record what I eat as soon as I eat it. If I don't log in as soon as I eat then I seem to forget some things I eat! The points provide me with all I need to eat. I don't like the forums, the format is just not easy to follow. Also I find more recipes at recipezarr than I do at the Weighwatcher site. It is worth $16 a month to keep doing well. I have lost 2 pounds a week since I started.

BAMAKRIS says "Weight Watchers is a lifestyle, not just a diet." about Weight Watchers

BAMAKRIS — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:14:07 GMT

I tried Weight Watchers for the first time five years ago. I successfully lost forty pounds. I kept it off for over two years. It is more of a lifestyle change than a diet. It allows you to eat whatever you want, but in moderate portions. It teaches you to make healthier choices and how to learn portion control. Like any other way of eating, it only works when you stick to it. Over the last couple of years, I have gained weight due to going back to my old eating habits. I have since started the program again and am down nine pounds so far. I highly recommend this weight loss program for anyone. It is also great for heart patients and diabetic-friendly as well.

NghtSkyyStarz says "The hardest part is maintenance!" about Weight Watchers

NghtSkyyStarz — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:41:34 GMT

I think the hardest part of this program isn't shedding the pounds, or trying to pick out a new wardrobe... but staying committed once you get to where you want to be. It's hard to stay focused when you are the size you want to be. I think that WW could do a better job of supporting their lifetimers. The system is set up great for people that are looking to lose, but once you get down to your goal a lot of the tools they have created don't necessarily apply to you anymore which is why I think a lot of people fall off and have to come back. For all the revenue they are bringing in, working better with restaurants would be ideal for me because I often don't have time to plan and make a meal.

AngiBowman says "Change Your Life with WW" about Weight Watchers

AngiBowman — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:12:29 GMT

I know what it's like to be the "big" girl. You know, the one with the pretty face and nothing else. If you can relate, it's okay! Weight Watchers is here to help.

What Is It?

Weight Watchers (WW) is a "diet" program that encourages lifestyle changes and attitude changse. No, diets don't work. No, this isn't a quick fix. However, it works. If you stick with this program, it's going to work.

How It Works

Everything you eat has a point value to it. You are given a point value, adjusted for your weight and height. You also have a pot of extra points you can use in a week. So, you may have 30 points to use each day, but if you slip up - it's okay! You can use the "pot" of 30 more points for the week to cover any differences.

The program works in 3 ways:

1) Meetings only
2) Online only
3) Meetings + Online

Everything is dependant on what YOU need to change your life.

The Pros

The best thing about this program is that it's real. You're going to have off days. You may even have terrible days. It's...

I've done weight watchers twice with great success both times. I didn't go to meetings but signed up for the online weight watchers and thought that with some self-motivation that it worked great. Easy to use, easy to track progress and points. I recommend this.

psychgrl01 says "Weight Watchers is a lifestyle change, not a diet!" about Weight Watchers

psychgrl01 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:08:40 GMT

Weight Watchers is a wonderful lifestyle changing eating system! I have joined Weight Watchers several times (I have had to rejoin due to my own lack of sticking to the program -- no reflection on the actual Weight Watchers program itself!) and have chosen to do both the in person meetings as well as Weight Watchers online. Both are great. In retrospect, I feel that the in person meetings worked the very best for me because I knew that I had a supportive group of people struggling with the same sorts of issues I was who I could check in with each week. I also knew I was going to be weighed and needed to be accountable to that scale! My leader, Jill, was also really wonderful. She did not criticize if I had a less than stellar week but instead focused on what I did well (even if it was just going to the meeting!) and what I could do for the next week. I am currently a member of Weight Watchers online, and I do enjoy it. It gives me all of the tools I need in a handy, online delivery format....

laurad12 says "something you should try!" about Weight Watchers

laurad12 — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:34:02 GMT

well, i was definately skeptical of this site and the easy way of how the program works! i thought it was just another bogus product making bogus promises to the consumers that bought weight wathcers products, etc. After seeing my friend who has been big all of her life and choosing to go on this diet plan with weight watchers and how much fun she was having. Yes, fun!! My friend has said this program has helped her immensly and it does not even feel like a diet, more of a way of life! Since i have seen her weight drop immensly in numbers and how easy it looks, i, myself have decided to join weight watchers!!! it is so easy and gives you so much satisfaction to know you are doing something to help you and your future. You should definately try it! it is easy to count points and the food is fairly cheap so you do not have to worry about spending a lot of money, even though this program works beyond what i ever thought it would!

jrabuck says "Weight Watchers helped me lose weight quickly and keep it off." about Weight Watchers

jrabuck — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:56:59 GMT

I have been a Weight Watchers member for awhile now. It assisted me in losing 20 pounds after having a baby and because it is so easy to follow, I have been able to keep it off also! I have learned about how to eat so that I am full often and about eating healthier foods.

I did have a hard time once I got to the maintaining stage at figuring out exactly how many points my body needed so that I was not gaining wait back or losing more. However, once that was figured out it was very esay to me to remain within those points each day and week and to keep my weight exactly where I wanted it to be.

jdrew39 says "Pounds melt away" about Weight Watchers

jdrew39 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:23:03 GMT

I joined Weight Watchers with two of my friends. I was the only one of our group that really benefitted from this Weight Watchers program. I stringently adhered to the program. I lost 15 pounds. That may not seem like a lot, but I was not extremely over weight. My friends on the other hand joined with the prospect of losing 50 pounds. Both of my friends had a difficult time sticking to the directions. Remember that to lose weight with any program it is always necessary to "follow the directions". And must is to add mobility to your program. Always add exercise to your weight loss program. And remember that as with Weight Watchers the pounds will easily come off. It is a must to stick to the daily program each and every day. Weight Watchers makes it easy to do that because you have a running diary every day about what you eat, how much you eat and how an active lifstyle can help you maintain your weight loss.

luckychrmz70 says "I love Weight Watchers meals!" about Weight Watchers

luckychrmz70 — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:31:58 GMT

Weight Watchers meals come in so many varities it is difficult to become bored with the food they offer. I think the Steamer bowls are my favorite, the Whiskey Steak is out of this world! Plenty of crisp, steamed vegetables, and the sauces are so tasty. The regular dinners are just as good and filling. The meat is real, not that processed, pressed meat. The meat is always cooked to perfection. And juicy too. The Chinese dinners taste just like what you would get at the Chinese restaraunt! My favorite is General Tso's dinner, so good and spicy. I have several in my freezer now that I have yet to try. Weight Watchers keeps coming out with new dinners all the time, it is hard top keep up with the choices now. I have a hot small breakfast and a light lunch, and then my Healthy Choice dinner and a small snack before bed. Usually some 100 calorie pack cookies or something like that. I have recommended Weight Watchers to all my friends.

kaysten says "Weight watchers for life!" about Weight Watchers

kaysten — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:48:24 GMT

Weight watchers is the greatest way of eating/losing weight that anyone could ever do. Its a diet without doing a diet! All you have to do is count your points. (Or the Flex plan if you choose do that, but I'm just talking about the Points system here). What they teach you is all about learning portion controls and learning your body's hunger signals. Everything you eat has a Points value, so all you have to do is figure out how many Points whatever your eating is and then keep track of them. Keeping track is a must, because it keeps you accountable for everything you eat through out the day. Weight watchers isn't a quick fix. Its not hCg, or a pill where you lose weight fast. Its better than all those options because most people that I know that have done those diets have all gain the weight right back once done. Weight Watchers is more about a change in lifestyle and being accountable, and helps you lose weight a health way. And the best part is, you never have to go without. If you...

missann1 says "Good Place for Start and Middle and Weight Loss" about Weight Watchers

missann1 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:46:51 GMT

Weight Watchers is a good place to start your weight loss plan. The group meetings can be encouraging while the weekly weigh-ins keep you accountable.

The plan is pretty simple because most foods are assigned points and you simply add the points you eat each day. They give you a booklet with lots of foods listed in the index. The internet may give even more information. You can also calculate points using a sliding scale based off calories, fiber, and fat grams.

You can deduct activity points for every twenty minutes of exercise. The program should work well at first if you follow the plan, unless you're just mildly overweight.

Daily point allowances are designated for varying weight ranges. Unfortunately, the lowest weight was 150 pounds which corresponded to 19 points per day. This really is not going to encourage weight loss for a 150-pound woman. So shorter people may have to calculate their own allowance.

Irenia1900 says "I absolutely love it." about Weight Watchers

Irenia1900 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:02:12 GMT

Thanks to a friend who turn me to it I recently joined Weight Watchers online. I am not sure how it will turn out but so far it is the best diet I have ever tried. I have done everything from Atkins Diet, to Slim Fast, to Quick Weightloss (very expensive) but with Weight Watchers I have seen faster results and at no point do I feel like I am on a diet. The best thing is that I can eat anything I want. There are no limitations to what you can eat every food has a point value. I know that if I splurge on a high point food then I have to take it easy for the rest of the day. I also love that I have extra points for week in case I want to go out to dinner. I am doing the online program so I do not need to go anywhere. I type everything in it calculates it for me and it gives the point value for all foods. I have been on it for almost 2 weeks and have lost 5 pounds already without even noticing it. I recommend it to anyone. It puts a lot of your eating habits in perspective.
