good morning everyone...

I just joined last night. My goal is to lose 25 lbs. Today is my first day doing it. I've never done WW before, but I think it's a 'do-able' diet for me.

What is the buddy system?

Re: WW BUDDIES!! Friday, November 5

Okay, what exactly is the role of being buddies going to be?

Brianne (BKG529)


Okay, here is my food for the day:

Breakfast:

3/4 cup puffins cereal (dry)- 1 point

2 light baby belle cheeses - 2 points


Lunch will be:

Chicken salad (chicken with just 2 good Helmann's Mayo) -5 points

on a bad of lettuce- 0 points


Dinner: will be interesting since I am going to a wedding tonight!

Re: WW BUDDIES!! Friday, November 5

yeah what exactly does being a buddy entail?

i'm happy i lost another pound this week! yay!!!!!!

so far i've had my usual breakfast of a harvest bar (5 pts). haven't planned out the rest of the day yet.

Re: WW BUDDIES!! Friday, November 5

i'm actually not really sure what being a buddy would entail...

does anyone have any ideas?

maybe your buddy can be the person who you exchange your menu for the day with... and then together we would all use this thread to share ideas and inspire each other

congrats for joining ww!!! it might be a little hard to get used to at first, but you'll get the hang of it, and we will be here to help you!

are you doing the flex plan or the core plan? i've actually not been to meetings since the core plan was introduced (i know, shame on me...), so i don't know much about it...

Re: WW BUDDIES!! Friday, November 5

I'm doing the flex plan right now. I think it's more managable for my lifestyle since I eat out a lot. The core plan sounds ok...but it's seems to restrictive to me... JMHO! People at the meeting last night said they loved it, but were afraid to eat too much because there are no restrictions...you have to know when to stop on your own.

that's interesting... what does the core plan entail? are there certain restricted foods? that's where i go downhill... i can't have anyone telling me what to eat or not. the good thing about the flex system is that you can eat basically anything, just in moderation.

Re: WW BUDDIES!! Friday, November 5

The core plan has a list of foods that you can eat from and that's it...you still have your 35 extra points per week, BUT I'd rather eat whatever I want in moderation. I like the variety the Flex plan offers.

wow, i really don't like the core plan philosophy... i feel like it goes against what makes weight watchers unique... imo, as soon as you start making restrictions, your eating plan becomes one that will be hard to sustain throughout life...

anyone using the core plan here? thoughts?

I try the core plan every week but by lunch on day 1, I drop back to points

One of my co-workers is doing it. She loves it and is doing really well on it.

Re: WW BUDDIES!! Friday, November 5

Me too! It will really be great to have a buddy especially with the holidays right around the corner!
