WW online?

A quick background: I've always struggled with my weight. I was on some medication after college that contributed to me gaining almost 40 pounds. About four years ago, I had lost about 15 pounds of that on my own and then lost another 17 with WW. That was right around the time I got married. After the wedding, I gained about 7-8 back and stayed steady at that weight until I got pregnant, when I lost a few pounds, then gained quite a few, for a total of about 28 above my pre-pregnancy weight.

 After my daughter was born, I lost most of the weight. I was breastfeeding and then trained for a half-marathon relay, and I ended up at my wedding weight again. But then it got hot in Florida, and I haven't been running as much on the treadmill as I was outside when I was training. I'm only nursing DD once a day, so a lot of the breastfeeding calories are gone, too. I'm back up to my pre-pregnancy weight (which isn't awful, just about 10-15 pounds heavier than my goal weight). I work out 3-4 times a week, have been trying to track my calories/activity with myfitnesspal, and I'm not seeing a lot of results. I'm having trouble being consistent, too - I track for a few days and then a miss day, which turns in to three or four, and then I feel like I'm starting from scratch every other week.

 I've been thinking about doing WW online. When I did the program before and attended meetings, it was just core and flex points - no points plus or anything like that. I'm just not sure the online program would be worth the investment. I'm starting a new job in a few weeks, and working full-time plus spending time with DD and DH doesn't leave much time to attend meetings.

 Sooooo, I guess that's my long version of asking for suggestions and/or feedback on WW online :) TIA, ladies!

Re: WW online?

  • WW does work and used it after I had DD however I gained the weight back after my session with them was over. I have found a product that tastes great and have kept the weight off. I have more energy then I have ever had and feel wonder!!! They are nutritional shakes and they taste wonderful!

    Good luck!!! 

  • I have been doing WW online for 2 weeks now.  The first week I lost 1.6 lbs, but then I gained some the next week!  Very frustrating, but I love the program and am determined to keep it up.  I never used the original points system so I have no comparison for you there. 

    PointsPlus seems like a great system.  It is very flexible and easy to find out the points of "regular"  food.  I feel like I can have treats every day if I want...although that may be why I gained last week :)  I'm actually thinking it was poor food choices the night before my weigh-in.  At any rate, the fact that I'm paying to use the system keeps me tracking!!  Good luck!
