I did it about 5 years ago and lost 25 lbs in 4 months. I felt great and looked great. I have since fallen way off the wagon and am definitely going to go back. Go to at least 4 meetings. You can always count points on your own but the meetings really do keep you motivated. Also, never say "only 1.4 lbs" or whatever. Go to a grocery store and pick up a pound or two of butter. It really puts into perspective what you've accomplished. Besides, any loss is good right? Anyways, good luck with it and keep posting your progress

omg you're making me want to take this weightwatchers thing seriously. I signed up online and am doing it online, but im not even really doing it at all. I don't have a poor diet as it is, i just dont drink enough water and eat as many times in a day as i should. i try to starve instead of eating a bunch of tiny meals, so i think my metabolism is screwed, maybe i should start counting points. today is the best day for me to start too, i just got off my period, and i haven't eaten anything yet. good thing i read your post. are you working out too?

Yup! I have a membership to the YMCA. I get on the eliptical, read my magazines, listen to my ipod,and go for 30-50 minutes. I do the variety mode. After this, Ill do like crunches or sprint. I was working out in the mornings, but I have been doing it in the evenings. It's not as hot out and then I have some energy after dinner rather than just laying on the couch watching Mama's Family and eating snacks.
Have you tried going to regular meetings? The meetings are a little cheesy, but it's the weigh ins that motivate me! GOOD LUCK!

Gah- I was a lil naughty this weekend and used up ALL my flex points (not the work out ones..i absolutely dont use those even tho i do workout). My friend had a party and I just ate a bunch of mini quiche and homeade banana creame pie!
So at today's weigh in, I lost .6 lol. Pathetic! SO I am eager to make up for last weeks non loss and make this week better!

That's awesome news!
Lifting weights definitely help... it helps to build more muscle mass which means more fat burning!!! Plus it gives you a chance to sculpt any problem areas (ie: butt and thighs for me!). I got a few sessions with a personal trainer, and although it was kinda pricey I learned a LOT of helpful tips and techniques that I wouldn't have known on my own.
And although weights can be kinda hard at first, it's REALLY motivational to look back and realize that you're using a heavier weight than when you started.
Good luck!!!!

My mother did WW, and I went to a couple meetings with her. WW is one of the few diet plans that I actually think works, because it's about lifestyle changes, not just a fad. I also love the fact that it's all about portions, and eating healthier. Even if you don't loose a thing, just changing your eating habits to be healthier will extend your lifespan, and make you feel so much better.
