Weight Watchers online? How do you like?

they have a 7 day free trial.  I was debating...... I have never done a 'diet'..but I think I need some sort of structure if I am going to meet my goals.

My sister wants us to do a half marathon in May (we did this same one 2 years ago) its a great goal...so I need to get into shape!

    I think it can work. I did WW (but went to meetings) in 2008. I needed the meetings to be accountable to someone, and thought that the online was not "scary" enough.I did better knowing that I "had a date with a scale". That being said. I am working on the last few pounds of baby weight and am planning on joining again. The tools for tracking food are great, they have a restaurant guide and one of my friends said that the new app for the iPhone is great too. If structure is what you need, I think you'll be happy, you just have to decide how dedicated you can be!

     Good luck on the 1/2 marathon!! Exciting : )

    I am currently doing WW, but go to meetings.  I can't say enough good things about it!  I have lost over 17 pounds in 9 weeks.

    I tried doing the online version after I had DS, but like murphysmom, I needed the meetings to be held accountable.  I was also nursing and found that I had too many points to consume, so I wasn't as successful as I think I could have been.

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Good luck with your half!  Which one are you running?

    I will be running the Avenue of the Vines one in Lodi..its in May.  I am a little scared about it right now... right now I can only do a 3 mile jog/walk.  I need to build up my endurance.  The last time I did it..I could do a straight 3 mile jog and then walk for a mile and jog for a mile..... I am not confident right now on my endurance!  I need to get into shape!

    That is great!  And you have plenty of time to train!  I ran my first half 6 months after I had my daughter and am running my second in June.

    Have you seen the Hal Higdon novice training schedule?

    We sort of followed this and all three of us finished!

    Good luck!
