Weight Watchers

good for you hon, weight watchers is way too expensive here for me to join.

I keep losing my points book. I have had two of them.

There is probably not another program going that has a more diabetic friendly diet plan than Weight Watchers. Everything on their diet and meal plans is keyed to the same requirements as any diabetic diet. Which means, anyone can lose weight slowly without exercising simply by following the diet meal planner.

Anyone acn Google the "Glycemic Load Index" and come up with the essence of the WW plan. That will save you tons of money on membership fees as well.

But if you are happy with this and it is working for you, go for it girl!

Congratulations on your great start with Weight Watchers! I don't do it, but I sure should! My daughter used to do WW and did quite well, but she quit and gained. I have a friend who is on it and has lost about 25 pounds now. She was having gall bladder problems, too -- I think her discomfort has lessened now.

Keep up the good work. Who knows . . . maybe you will inspire me!

can't contribute anything because i have never been to ww not that i don't need to believe me. i just wanted to wish you alot of good luck as you go & get thin. i'm rooting for u & your family.

Good for you. I am proud of you. Last year I had two clients for personasl training that insisted on doing weight watchers so that was fine with me as long as they worked out in the gym 4 days a week. They were budies so that helped them to. They walked together 3 miles each morning, either in a park or if it was raining inside mall. At night they would do the workout I wrote for them which was mostly free weights and alittle kettle bells. They did Chest/shoulders and triceps on Monday and Thursday and Legs/back/biceps on Tuesday and Friday. Wednesdays and week ends they still did their walking though and on the nights they had the gym workout it included 10 minutes bike first and 10 minutes treadmill last. It really worked for them. One started at 175 and was at 145 in 4 months and the other started at 188 and was 153 in 4 months. So it is good that you are walking.

I wish you the best of luck with weight watchers. I think you will really do good with them. I have never tried them before. I have a hard time eating real healthy in my family because I am the only one here, trying to lose some weight. I am going to exercise more to try to lose some weight. I know you and I can do it.

Well, Weight Watchers does have some Great foods for sure. I have ate many of the dishes that are frozen, and even some of the soups and such. I know that this is a Great diet to follow. Just not able to personally follow it as much as others can due to being Diabetic, but it does have some Great tips on how to loose weight for sure. Wishing you the Best.

It's all too complicated for me. All I know is that WW bread is so much thinner and smaller than regular sliced bread so of course it won't have as big an impact, as long as you limit yourself to 4 slices a day. Also, diet pop actually makes people fatter than regular pop.
But here's a gold star for your collection.

I tell you what, I am not on WW and I have heard of their point system before, but reading you describe your day in detail makes me want to join right now. It actually sounds like it could be fun! I hate calorie counting and I am not very disciplined to follow anything that requires too much thinking and planning. It seems like you are having a ball on this one. Don't be surprised if I end up saying I joined!

me personally i've never tried WW but i've thought about it. i'm currently pregnant with my fourth child and I've already begun thinking about what to do about this baby weight. my doctor has advised me to walk on a treadmill so i've gotten that. I haven't exercised since before my first child was born 4 years ago! Its interesting. Walking does make me feel a little better but I want the good stuff LOL. I am 5'3 and i weigh 189lbs at the moment. I want to drop at least 35-40lbs if i can after giving birth. I've never weight this much in my life. I miss my 147lbs frame. I know it may suck, i'm not really looking forward to it but whatever I need to do in order to lose this weight I will try to do. I have to. This is for my health overall after all. I have asthma and i'm short. I don't need to be this heavy after having my baby ya know.
