kardigi says "It's an easy program to follow" about Weight Watchers

kardigi — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 18:44:37 GMT

I've been a memeber of Weight Watchers on and off for a few years now with quite enough success. I find that following the points system is easy and it allows you to eat what you want in moderation. With three young children sometimes fast food is an only option when I'm in a hurry and eating a grilled snack wrap and a salad is a delicious and quick meal for only 9 points and it is filling. I find if you can stay with in the points that are allowed Weight Watchers is a big success. I joined after the birth of my third daughter and I'm now at the weight I was when I got pregnant with my second, I only have a few more pounds to go to get to the weight I was before I had my first and I owe my success to Weight Watchers and their staff.

lmelo3 says "Works for me lost 62 lbs and have kept it off" about Weight Watchers

lmelo3 — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:39:42 GMT

I absolutley love weight watchers. I'm a mother with triplets that are 10 years of age and last year weighed 220lbs. My ultimate highest, but lowest point in my life. I decided to loose weight after seeing myself go through depression and actually seeing myself in a picture. I was horrified. I have tried all those diets out there and they dont work to keep off the weight. I have lost 62 lbs and have 27 more to go. With weight watchers you can eat what you want and not feel guilty just have to figure it in your daily points. You dont feel like you are starving yourself. Weight watchers is a lifestyle change for healthy habits. I love weight watchers and would recommend it to anyone.

lynnepowell says "Do it right and you will lose weight." about Weight Watchers

lynnepowell — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:18:31 GMT

There are, in my opinion, two ways to do Weight Watchers--the first is to try to fit only the foods that made you fat into your points values for the day. People who do it this way are usually starving and quit. The second way is to change the way you eat so you can fit more foods into the points that you are allotted, while saving your big treats for your 35 extra points per week. People who do this tend to feel sated and stick with the program.

I was on Weight Watchers for a year, got to 3 points from goal, ad got pregnant and had to stop. I am now 4 months post-partum and have been back for 6 weeks. It has been much easier for me this time because I really learned from my mistakes last time. I loved the idea of eating anything as long as you counted it that it took about half a year to get that I really had to learn to lighten up my food or run out of points before dinner.

Going to meetings is essential for me, for accountability. But moreso, I have learned that even when I have what...

mnpossum says "It's not rocket science - I even managed to lose 60 pounds" about Weight Watchers

mnpossum — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:28:49 GMT

It reinforces common sense things about foods and good choices and teaches you a few things you didn't already know. The big key to my success with the program was having to get on that scale every week and have someone record my weight and put it down in writing. It teaches you lifestyle changes and things will stick with you even if you fall of program. I lost 60 pounds following the program and even though I didn't maintain that weight loss since "falling off the wagon" 4 years ago, I've kept half of that off because the changes I made for a healthier lifestyle stuck with me.

petbabe says "Eat what your family eats and lose!" about Weight Watchers

petbabe — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:34:48 GMT

Weight Watchers works if you work the plan. I have lost 20 pounds on the plan and I eat what I fix my family...just smaller portions. I have been on WW several times and it always works. My problem is ME. I get lazy and don't count my points or plan my menu or I go out to eat and forget about WW when I see the pictures of yummy food! If you stick to the plan, log the foods you eat, plan your meals and plan what you are going to eat before you go out, then you will succeed.

WW take the calories, fat and fiber in a food and converts it to points. You get xx number of points a day. They have books to look up the point value of the foods.

In the past I have failed at diets and WW because I have tried to cook two meals at dinner. One for me and one for my family. Since I don't always enjoy cooking the two meal plan works for about a week (if that long). This time around I am cooking one meal for everyone and measuring out what I have to count my points. If it is something...

Tada96 says "Weight watchers is a way to loose weight without dieting!" about Weight Watchers

Tada96 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:29:19 GMT

Weight wathcers is a great way to loose weight without dieting. They give you a set number of points to use each day. That number is based on how much you weigh, your height, your gender, and your activity level. Every food has a point value, which is based on calories, fat, and fiber. Once you have your number of points for the day, you can eat what you want as long as you stay within your points. I found that buying some "diet" food or 100 calorie food helps to stay within the points. You can also gain extra points by exercising. I found that exercising and not using the extra points is a way to burn extra and see the lose on the scale that week.

christinelalama says "Weight Watchers is the only program to teach me to eat right!" about Weight Watchers

christinelalama — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:33:07 GMT

In 2002 I was diagnosed with Invasive Breast Cancer. Through the course of my treatments, I gained much weight because of the steroids I had to take during chemotherapy. I decided to join online at first and I did very well. However, once I decided that I could do it myself, I discontinued the online service and over time, I gained the weight back. I kept reading up on going to meetings and the benefits of meetings versus online or trying to go at it alone. So I joined again. I found a place locally who hosted meetings and decided to give it a go. By going to the meetings, I did the best I ever did and 4 years later I kept the weight off. It left me with the tools to keep myself healthy. And what people need to understand is that Weight Watchers is a lifestyle change not a diet. It is the healthiest way to lose weight. You are supposed to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. Anyone trying to do that faster, is doing more damage than good. I highly recommend Weight Watchers...

triciarosas says "its not a diet its a lifestyle" about Weight Watchers

triciarosas — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:34:05 GMT

I joined WW after the birth of my first son. I lost nearly 30lbs! I have not been able to rejoin since the birth of my other children, BUT I have to say that if it were not for WW I would have had a much harder time with my weight before, during and after all of my children. It is because of weight watchers that even my bad food choices are not that bad AND my children are growing up learning how to eat better! I think that this is easy. I think that ANYONE can do this diet. There was a woman in one of my meetings that had lost 100lbs. No gastric bypass, no lapband. Just the support and encouragment that WW offers it members. One of the reasons it works is that it holds it members accountable in more than one way. First of all you have to pay. I dont know about you but if i am putting money towards something I am for sure going to give it my all. Secondly, you have to weight in. That is scarey I admit, but its not like everyone can see it or knows. The only one that sees it is the one person...

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!
