OMG I so agree about the newer program. I don't like it as much as the old, so I'm going to start it on my own in the fall. It DOES work, u should def give it a try!

i follow the old program from a couple of years ago with the points. if you dont have any of the books that lists the point values you can easily find them online.

I might try it.. I need to lose 15 lbs. I gotta say though... I just picked up the new Skinny Cow Caramel Clusters, which are 2 points... and they are yummy!

I'm doing WW Online. You REALLY need to be disciplined, as I learned from gaining almost 2 pounds this weekend. Back to the grind! It really does work as long as you're committed.

Re: Crap i gotta lose weight!

I love WW. Even not sticking to strictly I have lost about 13 pounds and have kept it off. I can imagine if you stick with it what can happen. On the old plan I went from 165 to 120. Cant hurt to try!

Re: Crap i gotta lose weight!

I think I'm gonna do it. I have the book and calculator just need the motivation. Thanx ladies I will fill you in on my progress.

Re: Crap i gotta lose weight!

Have you tried the LoseIt app on your iphone/ipod? I'm doing that and have lost almost 5 pounds for the past 10 days since I started... I need to loose tons though!!! Not fast enough! hahaha

Oh, I forgot to say, its free! Its basically just a free calorie counter/helps you keep track of your food and weight, but its been working for me. Max they allow you to lose is 2 lb a week, but in my case I've been changing my diet more, just gotta add in exercise.

Re: Crap i gotta lose weight!

I've always read that WW is the best because it gives you the knowledge to change how you live, not just give you a frozen meal to eat

Re: Crap i gotta lose weight!

I've been doing Weight Watchers Online for about 6 weeks now, and I'm down abot 15 pounds. I would agree that it's all about discipline. Counting every single thing you put in your mouth, every day, and not taking any days 'off.' It's worth it, though! Let me know if you're looking for a WW support buddy!

Re: Crap i gotta lose weight!

Aside from Weight Watchers, I've seen people drop weight and get toned really fast with kickboxing classes.

Most people say it doesn't even feel like exercise. And it gets out a lot of stress to punch and kick the bag.

My mom has been on WW since November and has lost 65 pounds. She is still going strong and following the program. I say go with WW. In order for WW to work, you need to be ready to change the way you look at food, meaning being able to write down what you eat and watching what you eat. She still eats all of the foods she loves but in moderation. Also, make sure you go to the weekly meetings.

My friend has been on weight watchers for six years--she originally lost 42 pounds and now just continues maintaining her healthy weight. She swears by it--and it really does work for her!

Re: Crap i gotta lose weight!

I know this sound crazy, but Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar seems to really help me lose weight. I mix 2 tsp in a glass of water twice a day - once during the day and once before dinner and it really makes a difference.

It took a little getting used to (especailly since I knew the old points for everything by heart), but if you follow it and dont go over then it does work and its slow and steady!
