So I know in my mind, it's not the program, it's the choices I am making. It does sometimes take a little knowledge about how our bodies work. Your body is very intelligent! It will know when it's not getting the usual. You have to "change it up" now and then to keep it guessing....that's were the exercise routines (vary them) come in usually. Or with WW, we get those extra 35 pts. USE them sometimes, maybe not others! If your body thinks it's "starving", it will conserve!
Anyway....head knowledge. I've got it. Just like with my PC biz....it's the APPLICATION of the knowledge and following through on what I know I should do (i.e- be it picking up the phone or meal planning!).
Maragib said:Doing WW and only eating their food is like using Pampered Chef tools and only making pampered chef recipes. You have to live in the real world and use the "tools" of WW and fit them into your life. I love that about the points system of WW. If I am going to a party where I know I will be eating high points, I am reminded to eat low points food throughout the day like veggies. If I didn't have that number in the back of my head all day I would be more likely go off track. Plus it is great to go through your cabinets and realize what are high points and what are low, it really gives you a new perspective.
Another good alternative if you are online person is sparkpeople.com it is free and there are WW groups and message boards that are pretty active. There are pretty much any group you want - even 30 day shred (jilian michaels) group.

If a food cannot naturally be made fat free, then I'm also not going to be eating that either. So - no fat free cheese, or fat free sour cream or cream cheese, and most fat free salad dressings are full of either sugar or artificial ingredients to make them palatable.
The Weight Watchers program is a weight loss and healthy lifestyle program that focuses on a balanced diet, exercise, and support from a community. It assigns a certain number of points to different foods and encourages members to stay within a specific daily point range to reach their weight loss goals.
The Weight Watchers program works by assigning a specific number of points to each food based on its nutritional value. Members are given a daily points target based on their age, weight, height, and gender. They can track their points using the Weight Watchers app or through paper tracking. The program also offers support through weekly meetings, virtual coaching, and online communities.
Yes, the Weight Watchers program has been proven to be effective for weight loss. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that participants who followed the Weight Watchers program for one year lost an average of 5.3% of their body weight, which is more than those who followed other weight loss programs.
Yes, the Weight Watchers program allows for flexibility in food choices. No food is off-limits, but some foods have higher points values than others. The program encourages members to make healthier food choices and to practice moderation with higher-point foods. It also offers recipes and meal ideas to help members stay within their daily points target.
No, attending meetings is not a requirement for success on the Weight Watchers program. While the meetings offer support and accountability, the program also offers virtual coaching and online communities for those who prefer to track their progress and receive support from home. Ultimately, success on the program depends on following the points system and making healthy lifestyle choices.
