Re: Weight watchers !

I'm in the same boat.
What I know works:
Switch to drinking just water and tea to keep you full.
Eat more vegetables.
Work out as much as you can w/ both cardio & strength training.
Good Luck!!!!!!

Re: Weight watchers !

i've been on it. there's really no fast way to lose the weight. make sure you get your water in. rice cakes are low in points. fruit cups, pudding and the 100 calorie snacks are good. if you d o the monthly pass, you have access to the message boards. the boards are a good support system

If you bite it, write it..... It really helps keep track of what you're eating. You would be amazed! its a slow process but it really works! Good luck! Get the monthly pass b/c their website has GREAT recipes!!

I've been sooo bad. I keep on saying I'm going to join but haven't done it. They have a meeting at work and I walked in last week but walked out shortly after since i'm worried about paying the money and not being at my job much longer. I was thinking about getting the monthly pass since its cheaper (unfortunately they didn't take the pass which is another reason I walked out).

Which WW do you guys belong to???

Re: Weight watchers !

yeah working out will help best...Just eating healthy won't necessarily make the weight come off quickly, everyones body reacts differently to diets but if you eat healthy and work out at least 3x a week then you'll get the best results

Yes, refer to the 'healthy living guidelines'...you're supposed to drink 6 glasses of water, have 2 servings of milk, fruits/veggies, healthy oils, etc....and yes, they all count as points.

Re: Weight watchers !

A great site for you (which has probably been mentioned here a milion times)

http://www.dwlz.com

They have sooooo much on here. The points for a lot of resturants fast food and otherwise.

I think 1 cup (8oz) is 2 points.

Re: Weight watchers !

The Lean Cuisine Paninis are my FAVORITE. I usually start the day with cereal or yogurt, Lean Cuisine lunch and a dinner with grilled fish, veggies. I've lost 13 pounds so far on Weight Watchers and have 8 more to reach my goal. I am a huge believe in WW.

Re: Weight watchers !

I lost 23 pounds in about 4 months with Weight Watchers. My 1 tip is to stick to their Smart Ones meals for lunch. That helped me keep within my points limitation for the day.

Re: Weight watchers !

I am on WW - I find the weeks that I lose the most I have done the following:

Drank all my water (64 oz a day - I use the crystal light flavoring)
Eat my serving of fruit and veggies. I think it is 5 servings a day
Use all of my points/.dont go over. Write everything down

GL!!
