Joining Weight Watchers

I decided to finally start trying to lose weight.  My fat pants were no longer fitting and while I know I will never be a size 6 again, I do want to get rid of my muffin top. 

My goal is 10lbs and then we will see what happens from there.

Re: Joining Weight Watchers

  • I just joined WW at work  - it cruelly started the week before Christmas and New Years!  But, so far so good.  GL

  • I've been doing WW since the end of October.  I am down 18 lbs.  It is a program I find pretty easy to follow.  GL!  If you find any good recipes, please share.

  • Good for you!  Are you doing the meetings, or just online?  I did online about 6 years ago and lost 40 lbs.  Of course, I was single and living alone and could exercise whenever I wanted and only had to worry about myself for meals.

    I had my annual physical last week and my doctor brought up my weight.  I know I need to get back on WW.  What I love about the program is that it teaches you how to eat properly.  There are no forbidden foods.  And proper portion sizes as well - holy moly, that was a shocker at first. 

    I'm sure you'll lose that ten pounds in no time!  GL!

    Speaking of muffin tops, vita muffins are only 2 pts. Big Smile

    Really? Maybe it depends on which flavor you get? Here's the values on my Blue Bran VT I had for breakfast: 100 cal, 5g fiber, 1g total fat. That is a 1 pt muffin. I know they have revamped WW, would it change the points values that much, though? image

  • You can do this!!!! Go Amy! Yes
  • Mama Bear - My chocolate vitamuffin tops are 2 pts.  But, yes, the calculations have changed a good bit.  You need fat, carbs, protien, and fiber now to calculate.  No calories (go figure!)

    I joined Jan 1st online and lost almost 6 lbs already.

    I also used it before my wedding in 2006 and it think the new system is better.
