Weight Watchers OnLine?

Does anyone have experience with this program? Does it work?

I need to lose 35 lbs and I am sure that working out is not just the problem. I feel like if I track myself I will be better.

However--I never did a DIET before in my life and I am unsure whether it will work for me

TIA

Re: Weight Watchers OnLine?

Both DH and I signed up at the end of May.

DH lost 16.5 Lbs in 3 weeks.

I "officially" lost 7.4 Lbs per the "mommy makeover" but I actually lost 10 Lbs so far in almost 4 weeks.

It works for us.

1/ we HAVE TO track what we eat. Portion control is a huge component of WW. Finding out what we "really" ate in term of points/caloris has been a huge eye opener. You will learn to eat filler food that have less calories.

2/ We don't have to "transition" from prepared diet food back to regular food at home later on.

3/ we don't have time to go to meetings. I would never go. We track everything online. I bought a food scale to know exactly what portion I should eat. I bought a weight scale for for our weekly weigh in.

4/ I did go to a WW location to buy an electronic point calculator. That was such a great advice!

Jen, IT WILL WORK

I am not a dieter. I like to eat what I want. I am not into frozen packaged meals for every meal either.

WW helps you see how much you are supposed to be eating. I swear, even when I thought I was eating healthy - I was still eating too much.

You will love it. If I want to have skittles, I do, I just account for them in my daily points. I never deprive myself of anything, I just scale back throughout the rest of the day.

This diet works, I swear.

ETA: I never go to meetings, but I do go to get weighed in once a week. If I didn't have to face someone every week I'm not sure I would do as well as I've done.

I just signed up two days ago for the free 7 day trial. I couldn't believe that when I thought I was eating good, I was adding things up...

like blackberries & watermelon. . .I ended up eating 4 points worth in one sitting. Meanwhile I thought I could be eating them with no problem total eye opener and it's only been 2 days.

Thanks ladies

Re: Weight Watchers OnLine?

It's been great so far....

I started 11 days ago...and I've lost 3 lbs. It's been really helpful to keep track of what I'm eating and how many points everything really is....
