Every year I say I am going to lose some weight and that one day I will finally reach a normal BMI. This year is no different I have once again resolved to lose weight. This year my family is getting in on the action. We are running our own weight loss contest. We are each paying in some money at the beginning and we are weighing every month until June. The losers each month pay in extra money so that the winner will get quite a pot of money when we are through. Since I want to win, and especially beat my younger sister, I have started weight watchers again (online only, can't find a meeting I like). Now I noticed that there is a new plan, the plus points system. I am a little apprehensive about the new plan as I lost 50 lbs on the old plan and I just don't know how I will like the plus points program. Many people I know that used the old method are using their old books and calculators and using the old method. I decided to give the new plus points system a try especially since I want to use the iphone app to track my points. I started the first of Jan and I have lost about four pounds this month. Hopefully I will actually reach my weight loss goal this year. The plus points method is working for me, although I don't know yet if it is a good as they say or as good at the old method. Time will tell. I will keep you updated. Anyone else out there on Weightwatchers plus points? Do you like? If you used the old method which one do you like better?

I did weight watchers last year but I had to quit in May because I couldn't afford it anymore. I was kind of getting stuck too. I didn't have much motivation. I did lose like 20 pounds while I was on it though. I haven't learned about the new plus points program. I can't afford to do it online right now either. I thought about trying to do it at home and I'll just go by the plan I was using last year. I'd really like to lose the weight for good now that I'm done having kids. My cousin is getting married next summer and I look for my best friend to be getting engaged this year and probably married next year also. I haven't been asked to be in either wedding so far, but it's possible. I want to look good in my dress and feel comfortable in my body.

Good for you. I hope you can manage to lose the weight you want. My little sister is going to do Weight Watchers on her own at home using the old program and using the books and things she had already purchased so that is totally doable. Good Luck! And come back and let us know how you are faring.
