Let's Talk About Weight Watchers

I am not sure... I have lost a lot of weight by walking.

I have been thinking of trying that but I can't ever stick to anything that has rules like that lol

I've been doing weight watchers since January. I've lost 30 pounds

I haven't been doing Weight Watcher but I have lost 22 pounds by doing this:
1. Becomiing in touch with my EMOTIONS and how that relates to eating. I keep a journal. If I want to eat, I have to drink a glass of water and write down what I'm feeling FIRST. Often the act of writing it all down gets the "hunger" out of my system and I know that it is EMOTIONAL hunger, not physical hunger.

2. Using small plates (salad or dessert size plates) and then reducing portion sizes drastically. Becoming aware that restaurant servings are unrealistically large.

3. Chewing slowly, paying attention to what I eat and my hunger.

4. Getting a pedometer and making sure I walk every day, even if it is only around the block. Parking farther away from the store. Walking to the store if I can.

5. This may not work for everyone but Glucerna shakes keep my blood sugar even. They are made for diabetics but contain no medicine or anything harmful. They keep me from having blood sugar spikes.

good info

Karen, I to did weight watchers, with the meetings and so forth. I was successful, but when money is short that is the first thing that goes. Most people think you have to buy special foods but that is not the case. Now they have recently improved weight watchers and they have individualized plans. I feel the point system works.

JAne I also feel keeping a journal helps weight loss be successful. Keeping track of all you eat and the emotions you feel on a day when you may not have done so good with your eating habits will help you learn what triggers an eating binge so you can be better prepared for it.

WW meetings help you stay focused. They give you boosts and when you achieve a goal you are recognized. They are really good.

Karen if you choose to try WW on your own, I can help with the info for the new meetings. I have it. I can tell you how to try it on your own if you want to save money. You can also do WW at home, you go online to WW website and buy the kit for at home. My sister just got it. You can also purchase the new points calculator on line. I have one and they are great. you just push in calories, fat, fiber and it calculates the points for the food you are eating.

I would love to start a WWroup on here, I do not own a group on Gather so if no one has it, I would love it.

I found a group on Gather already, it is wwatgather.com. Check it out.

Congratulations! Your article has received ten or more comments and has been removed from Comment Speedway in accordance with our group's policy!

Karen, I know you like to read, Check out the book Body Clutter by Marla Cilley and Leanne Ely, it is very good and takes you to the root of why you are overweight.

I will be going back on weight watchers in the next few weeks. They are having free registration now.

I absolutely love WW and would recommend it to anyone who asks. It's a great plan that helps you to learn to eat healthier as well as lose weight naturally. I lost 48 lbs and have been maintaining my weight now for 6 months and haven't gained any of it back. Feel free to ask me any questions.
