I finally did it...

I joined Weight Watchers this weekend!! I joined with my sister, best friend and her sister (who already are members). I hope I can do this!!

Can any ladies on WW offer tips or suggestions? thanks!

I think a lot of us 06'ers are on WW... I started 6 weeks ago and am down 5lbs.. not a whole lot, but I'm still proud. My one tip is to make sure you drink the water....I am so bad at this!!! Good luck Holly!

FH and I both joined, just before Thanksgiving...BAD time to start. I lost 3lbs 1st week, he lost 2. We stopped, b/c it was WAY to challenging to start around the holidays. We're going back in the next couple weeks.

Good Luck!!! It's nice, b/c you can eat REAL foods!!

Re: I finally did it...

I had good success with WW a few years ago - my only tip would be to incorporate exercise when you start to plateau. It worked great for me: for the first 2 months, I had gradual weight loss (a few pounds here, a few pounds there) - and then I plateaued and didn't lose anything for several weeks. Then I stopped procrastinating and started walking every day, and the weight loss picked up again. The timing was almost motivational - because I had already lost some weight and it was empowering me to want to lose more.

Good luck!

I can definitely do this.. that is all I drink! I am hoping to lose 1 pound per week. My goal is to lose 13 pounds.

Thanks for the support ladies!

Re: I finally did it...

Congrats Hollie! I'm on WW and switched from flex points to the core. I'm seeing if that helps. I've been having a hard time sticking to it. Maybe we can all support each other!

Re: I finally did it...

Good luck ladies! I need to get back on my diet too. blah!

Re: I finally did it...

I posted this on the slim down board too --I did it a while back and the thing that helped me the most is writing down EVERYTHING that I consumed.

You'll reach your goal, definitely.

Re: I finally did it...

Thanks ladies! I went to the gym last night and cooked a very healthy meal. I am so conscious of my portion sizes now! I think someone suggested we motivate each other... I am all for that!
