BACKGROUND

It's been more than 40 years since Weight Watchers came on the scene and started helping people live healthier lives. Weight Watchers helps members create a foundation to introduce healthier choices and physical activity into their lives.

The original Weight Watchers plan invites members to weekly meetings where they hold group sessions, helping dieters form a network of support with people sharing similar experiences. Upon arrival, each person checks their weight privately. Meetings are conducted by a trained Meeting Leader who motivates and offers the group support through information about nutrition and fitness.

Members are also welcome to join the Weight Watchers community online, at WeightWatchers.com. From the comfort of their homes, members can form virtual support groups, monitor progress and access hundreds of approved recipes, like Blue Cheese Muffins, Sweet and Sour Pork, Grilled Beef Fajitas and even delectable treats like Chocolate Mint Brownies. If it's not convenient to prepare WW-approved meals at home, they offer a wide variety of frozen meals and point-complimenting menu items at Applebee's.

Weight Watchers was made popular by a points system called Flex Plan. A point value is assigned to each food on the comprehensive list of more than 27,000 foods. The Flex Plan allows you to eat the foods you like. Just stay within your daily points and you can still enjoy fried chicken and Diet Pepsi. It's an easy plan to follow, offers great flexibility and has proven successful for more than 40 years.

JennyB:  I have been on weight watchers for about a month now and as much as I enjoy the food options I am feeling very limited with the points I have designated. Anyone have some advice they can provide?

Breda:  Have you checked out the weight watchers community online? There are tons of great recipes there and most are really quick to make if you are short on-time. My personal favourite is the chocolate chipe mint brownies....perfect for my sweet tooth :)

DMBfan:  I really don't think I've ever heard something say they felt limited with WW. I'm been doing this for afew years now and can't rave enough about it. There is flexibility, great staff, so much food it makes me dizzy. You should definitely visit the website or talk to your leader. You need to make WW work for you... and it will!

Anonymous:  I have been on WW a few weeks and if anything it has opened up healthy options I really enjoy! Instead of the plain old snack I have something quick, new and tasty!

Vivian:  I joined WW in May 2007 desperate to make a change in my life. So far I have lost 53 pounds. I love weight watchers and i eat candy and chocolate, bread, pasta and chips on this.

Anonymousm:  Just started the WW program. Am having trouble finding the points assigned to flex plan foods. Any web sites available?

Anonymous:  I found WW fab, i lost 4st 2lb in just 9months. I was a complete WW freak and wouldnt even smell anything if it wasnt in my points haha. It has now been 2years and very slowly i have put on 1st 7lb, yes you can say its my fault for not carrying on going to the meetings, but WW really does get boring after a while. Its really good and im forever mindfull of the food im now eating, BUT i will suggest that if you do WW and once your at your goal, make sure you carry on with it. Because i have tried and tried to get back into it, but just can't. Now gonna try the Cambridge diet to get this weight off.

Anonymous:  I'm on my 7th week of WW and love it! The first week was difficult, but after my body adjusted to the reduced calorie intake, I felt better and have more energy. The flex plan works best for me, because I enjoy foods that aren't really "healthy" and I do want to indulge now and then. I know that I can't stick long term to a diet that cuts out all unhealthy food. I would recommend WW to anyone. Don't feel bad if you need extra support, especially from others on line who are have been where you are or are going through the same thing. I still have a lot of weight to lose, but I'm not in a hurry--I know this plan works and the weight will come off in time (I certainly didn't put the weight on overnight).

Anais_Morr:  I've tried the Points System several times and failed at it. The Core plan is good, but you need to know about portion control. Personally, I loved WW before they switched over to points. I lost 40 lbs on the old WW exchange plan. If you can control yourself using Points or Core, great. But for people who cannot handle the many choices and need to retrain themselves to eat healthy, I think WW is a real miss now.

Sara B:  I am begining my 49 th week of WW. I have lost over 60lbs in this time but not only from following the plan but from working hard at the gym & remembering this is not a diet its a lifestyle change. Were we all go wrong is thinking that we can loose then go back to doing what we used too. I know that I can not do this I must be fit for life not only for myself but to take care of those I love who will need me when they get older. WW is a wonderful program the point system works for me because its so diverse I can still have my chocolate. I just remember that I did not loose this weight by sitting on my butt waiting for it to come off. I had to work it off !!!! I am about 30lbs away from my heart healthy range now is the time i need guidence to help me gain muscle & tone. I feel so much better than i have ever felt before in my life. If you want to start WW do it right, for the right reasons. get healthy. The ladys & mean on the Biggest Looser have been my largest inspirations. Lets fight all the illnesses that come with being obese.

Anonymous:  I joined ww a year ago and started out doing very well. I seemed to enjoy the food and I was full all the time. Then I decided I didn't want to spend $12 a week to only sit in a class and actually learned nothing new. So I quit. Well, you guessed it, I gained the weight back and then some. So, I am going to start again right after they reopen after New Year's. I am looking forward to it and this time, I refuse to quit. I am going to Florida for a month in Feb. and I would love to lose about 20 lbs. Is that possible? Wish me luck.

Anonymous:  I joined WW's in the fall of 2006 and proceeded to lose 30 pounds. I became a life time member in Feburary 2007. WW's has changed my life! I attend meetings every week and I also still weigh in once a week even though I only have to weigh in one a month. I also journal every single day, even when I am on vacation. What I really like about WW's is there are no foods you can't eat, you just have to make the right adjustments to fit them in your daily points allowance. So going out for a meal has never been a problem, going on vacation hasn't been a problem either. I went from a fluffy size 12-14 to a size 4-6. Trust me that is enough incentive to stick with the program.

Anonymous:  6 years ago, I started WW just after my 50th b'day. I was faithful to the program and lost 85 lbs from Jan. through September. Due to family emergency I was unable to attend for several weeks and I just thought I could handle it on my own. As is the typical story, I did not do well, and it has taken 6 years but I'm right back where I started. It's a great program but you have to be mentally and totally committed. I've tried to go back several times since my first successful time but it's always harder the second time around. Also embarrassed to have done so well then failed. Try it is you're really mentally ready. If not, nothing will work.

Anonymous:  Sara B how much time did you spend excercising?

Anonymous:  I am on my 2nd week of WW. The first week was kind of hard for me. I lost 6lbs so far so Im excited.

Anonymous:  JennyB, i went through a pjase in the beginning where I felt so limited on my choices however I had to keep looking at the bigger picture. Fruit is always a wonderful. low point option. there are also low point cheese such as the laughing cow (these are fabulous) so versatile, you can put them on anything. Not to mention the 1 point WW yogurt. Progresso has a 0 point soup too. I find these are good fillers when you feel a little hungry and don't know what to eat. Use WW english muffins and make an egg adn ch sand or mini pizzas with low fat cheese. Good luck.

Tami:  I am in my 4th week of WW now and I have lost 10 lbs total. I have another 20 to lose. I began this plan to lose the weight I gained from having two babies in less than two years (I am apparently somewhat insane) and it is working far better than the strict calorie-counting I did last time. I use the Flex Plan, and I have better milk production (for breastfeeding) than I did with calorie-counting. Many veggies are zero points which encourages you to eat them. If you are hungry, there is always something you can eat. Great plan!

val:  Weight Watchers is truly the best diet program out there! I mean what other diet program has been around for more then 30 years! The best thing about weight watchers and why it works is because they teach you how to eat... they dont starve you.

Anonymous:  I started WW's in jan 2007, and by august 2007 I had dropped 67lbs. It is the by far the best diet plan I have found.

susan:  I love weight watchers it is by far the only diet program that I have had any success with!

Erin:  I did WW back in 2001 and went from 245 to 165 in 11 months. I felt great. But like many people, I got comfortable and started eating like I used to. It was 100% my own fault. I now weigh in at 285. :( You need to really look at WW as a permanent change, not a temporary solution. If you can't permanently change your eating habits, you'll never keep the weight off. Statistically, most people gain the weight back on ALL diets within a few years. It's not the diet's fault, it's your fault. It's simple math people: eat less, exercise more and watch portions. If you can't get a handle on that, you'll always battle with your weight. Don't get me wrong - I've fought this battle (and lost) for years. Good luck to everyone. I'm on WW again for round two!

Roxanne:  Today is my first day back on weight watchers. I did this about a year ago, and dropped weight speedy quick. At the meetings I was told I was loosing it too quickly. At that point, I became discouraged, and gave up. So now I am back and trying to look the best for my husband. Remember that support helps.

Tami:  I am leaving a second comment- I am now up to 20 lbs lost on the WW plan and I couldn't be happier! I have been on the plan a little over two months. I have learned a lot about how much food I really need to eat each day, and it is less than I used to eat. I have formed new, healthy eating habits. I just can't say enough good about this plan!

Aaliyah:  I just canceled my membership today actually. I have been on WW since July 07...I have lost a total of 15 pounds. haha. Sad, huh? WW is a wonderful program for people who are self-modivators. The meetings are big, short, and not to personal. It is easy to slump your chair in the back seat and go un-noticed. For me, It didn't work simply because I didn't do the work. I would reccomend this program to people who need to loose small amounts of weight 5-30 pounds only. But for someone who has battled with their weight for years like me and has a lot to loose needs something a little more personal than this. I just signed up for LA weight loss today...so far so good. I hope this works for me. God Bless.

Mary:  I have been doing weight watchers for six weeks and lost ten poundsd( i really havn't applied my self like I should) but I was thinking about quitting the meetings and just doing weight watchers online. Has any one tried it? Doed it work? I fell like ten pounds for me is alot and I don't want to do something top mess up any progess I have made. Anyone have any suggestion???

Meggers:  I find that if I eat anything besides smart ones I gain weight back. What gives? I can't live on frozen food forever? Anyone else having this issue? Oh, and it has been 3 weeks, I've lost about 11 pounds and I am still STARVING! Maybe I am just reaching a plateau and need to work out.

emily:  I just started weight watchers today. I had a friend who did it and lost 40 pounds in about a month and a half. I'm only 17 so my nutrition needs are a little diffirent. I'm 5'5 and I wiegh 160 so I decided to try this program and see how I like it. I've been eating the smart ones with large glasses of water. I'm just wondering if anyone has anyone excercising tips they could give me, I do sit ups, but I feel like those just aren't enough. I don't have time really to go to the gym, either. Any fixes I can do at home? help?

Patsfan:  I joined WW online in March 2007 and lost about 35 pounds in 5 months. I have kept it off, even though winter is tough on my weight. I didn't like the idea of meetings, but the online version helped me keep track of what I was eating and the point system helps you make better food choices. I stopped my online membership this month, but I am determined to "hang in there".

sodamom:  I love weightwatchers! It is the only diet program that has worked for me. It is smart using points because it allows you to have anything you want. Dieting is hard and limiting your favorite foods outright is impossible.

Julie:  I started the program the begiining of September and am currently on it (7.5 months). Ihave lost 30 pounds on flex. I am a diabetic too so have to be careful of my carbs. I amcurenlty on core becasue I plateaued. I follow right by the book. But it is very slow right now. I exercise 5 times a week at the gym. My clothes fit great but the scale still says too much! Any pointers.

Tess:  Im signing up for WW tomorrow, Really excited!! I was on La weight loss i noticed a lady was joining it, i honestly wouldn't do that again, way to restrictive .. and since the centers closes lack of support. WW has stood the test of time lol i have a feeling it might work!

4wheelers:  I have been on WW for 2 months. I've lost 15 lbs. with NO excersing. I eat Smart Ones for lunch and dinner and get a WW or SKinny Cow ice cream sandwich each night. I am not hungry. I love the WW yogurt and steamed veggies for a snack. My 9 year old now fights me for a steamed broccoli snack! :) I don't go to meetings (tried it once) and don't do the online thing. I just read all the independent sites online to learn more about recipes and low point foods. I also read that your body gets used to the same amount of point day after day, so if you up your points by 10-12 once a week your body works extra hard to burn fat! Makes sense to me! What do you think?

Tanya:  I've been on ww since May 07 and I've lost 102 lbs. I love it! My schedule is extremely hectic and ww fits my world! I would tell anyone to do it!

lulu:  I've been a WW member many times over the years and can even remember the ol' exchanges(2 bread, 2 fruit etc) and can honestly say it will work for you if you "stay on track" or as the veterans say "OP" I think it means On Plan-but I have to say I like many others, after losing substantial amounts of weight sometimes get "a little too comfortable" and think I can do it on my own/to heck with paying every week but ya know there is definitely something about the accountability factor(even if you don't stay for the meetings-which can honestly be quite "lame" at times!)This time I've started with a new attitude of "it's not a race" and just Go every week no matter what(no excuses) and believe me I'm master of those!!

Leanne Parry:  I have been doing weight watchers for just over a year and have lost five and a half stone.Its been the best diet i have ever tried and obviously works.I often struggle to keep my hands out of the biscuit tin but then remind myself that im the only person i am cheating.Stick with it.Theres still time to get in that little summer dress at the beach!

ani:  I was thinking about joining WW but now that i have read everyone's comments.....I AM EXCITED!!!!!!! i can't wait and I hope i do well!

lulu:  Congrats, YOU WILL do well because YOU have the right ATTITUDE, Good Luck-it actually is fun!!

Tanya:  How is the weight watchers online program? I use to go to the weight watchers meetings in my home town but it is a far drive so i stopped. I wonder if the online program will work as well.

Shane:  I am joining WW next week. Just found out there is a meeting center across from my house. I'm very exicited about joining, especially after reading all the success stories. I sure hope this works as well for me as it has with most others. I am determined to lose 35lbs. :) Wish me luck!

Chris:  To answer JennyB's original question, I would highly recommend adding a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. They fill you up, and they have very few points. Meat and other high-fat foods are hard to fit into your point total, so I tend to fill up on fruits and veggies. Good luck with your program!

Tina:  I started to research WW a few weeks ago... I gathered a tone of info, then decided to give the points system a try on my own. Well, that was 2 weeks ago, and I've lost 5 lbs! I'm thrilled to pieces. The first week was tough. I had an headache every day, LOL, I think from withdrawing from SUGAR. 2nd week -- fairly easy -- this week, even easier. This is definately something I can do FOREVER! I love it!

frances59:  I have been back and forth on weight watchers going to the centers. I am curious how the online program compares to the centers?

Heather:  I love WW. The only problem for some people is that is a little slow. That is GOOD! When you do sway from the diet,there is still a part of you that still makes better choices. I was on vacation for a week and that turned in to 3 weeks of no program and there was still a part of me that made better choices and I only gained 2 pounds in 3 weeks. I think it was the slow way in witch I lost it . SLOWANDSTEADY! keep it up. It pays off.

Kay:  I went to WW once. I have been diagnosed as Insulin Resistant--the first week I didn't do very well even though I stayed on program strictly--the person at WW said in a very haughty voice, "Well, someone didn't stay on probram." I said to her, "Yes I did, but I am insulin resistant..she replied, "We can't help you here." I QUIT!

Clared72:  Is going to a weight watchers center better then joining weight watchers online? has anyone done both?

Vicki B.:  I started WW in 2005, I attended the meetings faithfully for a year, lost 50 lbs. then I went to the on-line WW and maintained my loss, but was in a rutt. couldn't seem to lose anymore, I met the love of my life and put 25lbs back on!! You know what they say about being happy and in love;). but I'm back to my meetings-started 3 weeks ago and have lost 3.8 lbs. I'M NEEDING MOTIVATION.

Vicki B.:  Clared72-Yes, I have done both, honestly the meetings seem to work best for me. BUT having the on-line tools comes in very, very helpful!

tim :  ive been on ww for 2 weeks and i have lost 11 pounds and i feel great this diet seems to work great

jman:  I think WW is great, i have been on it now for two weeks and have allready lost 15 lbs. my goal is to lose 30 lbs. in 30 days and so far i am a little ahead of schedule. I would recomend it to anyone it is great and the points value system is much easier to follow then it seems.

Judy:  I lost 70 lbs. on Weight Watchers a few years ago. I combined the program with intense workouts at the gym. Then I stopped exercising and gradually my old eating habits crept back, along with most of the weight. I'm now doing WW again only this time I didn't sign up for meetings. I still have all the literature and points counter and I can do it at home just as well. I would recommend this plan because you don't have to buy special foods.

Michelle:  This is my 5th month on WW and I love it. I have lost 40 lbs to date and I KNOW I never could have done it without it. I try to exercise 4-5 times a week and following the points for me has never been easier. I recommend this Life Style Change to everyone.

Rosalie:  WW rocks! Great plan. You should never be hungry on this plan. You can eat your free veggies and there are many low pt options. You can always exercise to get extra pts to eat. WW is a healthy eating plan that you can and should do for the rest of your life. Like others have said, the program does not fail, we do. My husband and I do not feel like we are 'on a diet'. We are living healthy and excercising. We LOVE WW!!!

Michelle:  I just started last week. I lost 3.2 lbs.! I can't wait to see how I did this week! WW is great!

Dorothy:  I started WW this week, and I have to admit, it is alot easier then I thought it was going to be. As each day goes by, my hungar does not seem to be as constant. I am excited to keep going. My meeting is in 3 days, and I can not wait to see how much weight I have lost. WW is really a diet anyone can do.

jennie harrison:  i have only started ww 6weeks ago and lost 11 pound i was really excited but now i have found out i was pregnant does anybody know if you can carry on with the diet

HELEN KEESEE:  I'VE BEEN ON WW SINCE FEBRUARY AND MY LOSS COMES TO 21 LBS. PLUS 10LBS LOST BEFORE JOINING, A TOTAL OF 31. TO ALL THOSE OUT THERE THAT SAY THEY ARE NOT LOSING FAST AND ARE STILL HUNGRY...VEGETABLES!!FOR SNACKS AND FILLERS FOR YOUR REGULAR MEALS. I WAS A BIG EATER..IT WAS NOT WHAT I ATE IT WAS HOW MUCH! NOW I REALLY EAT A LOT LESS MEAT AND AM ABLE TO EXERCISE SO MUCH BETTER. ROSALIE IS RIGHT...WE FAIL... NOT WW. GET OUT AND MOVE AND IT WILL COME OFF. WISH ME WELL ON THE NEXT 30 TO MY LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP!!

karen leblanc:  I like my red wine so how do you fit this into weight watchers.

tony:  has anyone tried the weight watchers for men program? what is the difference? I am assuming i get more to eat :-)

Nicole:  I just joined weight watchers for the 4th time, I hope I stay on it this time. Not sure I LOVE it, but I need to loose weight. Anyone have WW pot luck dinners/

Jimmy C:  Nicole: Weight Watcher pot luck dinners are a great idea! I might have to suggest that to a few friends.

winona:  Do you still use points if so is the 2003 book ok to use?

Tee:  I just joined weight watchers and lost 9.6lbs my first week. I'm on my 2nd week now and I loveit!!!!

Johanna:  I have been on ww before and I lost 27 pounds, and I love it, I dont feel deprived what so ever, I had a baby in 2006 and gain lots of weight I still need to lose about 30 pounds, but I have decided to join again, so I start my meetings this friday, wish me good luck :) I hope I can handle it with my baby and all the stress in my life

Kathi:  I started ww exactly a month ago. I've lost 7 lbs and find it very easy to follow. I have not gone to meetings...online only. I love the convenience as my free time is very limited. I have hypothyroidism and this is very encouraging for me!

Tanya:  My husband and I have been on this diet for 5 months and both of us have lost a total of 50lbs. We love it and also have noticed that we both have a lot more energy!

Pizzalover:  I'm in my 2nd week on the plan. Lost 1lb in week 1, maybe 2 or 3 more this week. It's very hard, a huge change in lifestyle and a lot of food planning.

DF:  The plan works. If you're hungry, eat. eat a HUGE salad, with 0 pt. dressing - there are many online. Or eat some Garden Veggie Soup - eat a barrel if you must. Eat a bushel of strawberries. There really is no reason at all to feel hungry, and actually letting yourself slip into hunger repeatedly slows down the weight loss. I lost 41 pounds on the flex plan about 3 years ago, decided I had the plan down and stopped going to meetings, gained back 18 pounds in short order and am back and the meetings as of three weeks ago and down eight pounds again. It works, it's healthy and the meetings, even when they seem all too familiar, are doing their job: reminding me every week that I have to be aware of what I'm putting in my mouth. I totally recommend it.

Judith :  I can't get into anything I paid for 3 months and my user name or password can't seem to get me in, so so far I am very unhappy.

liz:  My husband and I went on WW 2 yrs ago to "eat healthier". We both lost 60lbs each, felt great. Our lifestyle became more active and we felt proud of our achievement! Unfortunately, we started to "slip" on our diets and gained some of the weight back. That is until we went back to portion control, more excersise and healthier choices. Now, I've lost the 20lbs that I gained back and we both are enjoying our increased energy levels. I have to give kudos to WW. The program is easy to use, and if you just apply yourself, you WILL see results!

julie saphire:  Lost 5 stone twice after having children...weight watchers is great but you have to be patient and stick to it! I cannot shift a stubborn 10lbs so have tuned to cambidge diet for more rapid loss...however i do feel weight watchers is the way to go for bigger weight loss!

Sherry:  Weight Watchers is the easiest lifestyle I know of. You just go to the store, buy food, count points, and eat. I find that people that who feel limited or deprived are not too creative. I go online to the recipes,, which is a great source of recipes with points. Determination to lost weight is not so easy, but weight watchers helps lesson the "work". If you want to lose weight, this is the way to go. There's no miracle diet, pill, or drink, just eat right, exercise, and be healthy.

Terri:  I have been on WW since January and have lost 35 lbs. Our school faculty decided to try the program at the encouragement of our school nurse. We have what is called a "worksite program." Since we have 15 people participating, they will come to our school. It makes it so easy since we don't have to go anywhere else for a meeting. It is also alot of fun working together to improve our health and our looks. Some of our teachers have shared their loss with their students each week and students have had a lesson in charting/graphing as well as how to make healthy choices. Our insurance pays for 50% of our WW cost. I also understand that one of our participants has her fee covered completely because her doctor wrote a "prescription" for her due to back problems. My 20 yr.old daughter joined our group and has lost 16.5 lbs. in about 8 wks. She is thrilled! One of our teachers has brought her younger daughter. Her goal is to help her daughter learn to live a healthy lifestyle. She is doing well. Both of us are enjoying a special bonding experience with our daughters. It helps us stay focused on our losses so that we can model healthy behavior for our children. This is the first program I have found where I can be successful without medication. My husband is really proud of me and has really been encouraging!

Chelsea:  I am subscribing to weighwatchers tomorrow when i get paid. I am 5`1 and weight 165. I would like to lose 50 pounds. On this program does anyone know how long this will take me?

LaTonya :  I did WW for 4 months and lost over 20lbs; I did this online so I didn't have to go to any meetings unless I wanted; The only downfall is when I couldn't afford to renew my membership I got of track and have gain some of the weight back. Wish I could do it alone w/o WW. As soon as I am able I will start it again.

Mikki:  I have been interested in joining weightwatchers for many years. I need to lose about 60 pounds. I am 5 feet 2 inches but my body is muscular for a women. Based on what I have read and seen I think this would be the best Life Plan for me. I say Life Plan because in order for an older person in particular to maintain the weight it has to be a Life Plan decision. (smile)

Chris:  WW is good start. But most people who need to lose more than 50lbs should asked themselves are they an food addict? A food addiction is just as bad if not worse than any drug, drinking or gambling addiction. You can stop vices but you can't stop eating. What you can do is stop eating out of control. No Flour, Sugar or any artificial sweetner that is not natural.

Kathy:  This will be my first week w/WW and reading the positive results in the comments is motivating. I know several friends that have lost on the program and look great! I look forward to a 30lb loss.

katie:  CHELSEA & others: I did weight watchers about a year ago and lost 20 pounds in about 5 months. ( was 5'1" weighing 165lbs). After hitting a plateau at about 145 lbs, I somewhat stopped vigorously counting my points but did maintain the weight watchers lifestyle and my weight at around 140 pounds. But now I'm ready to start again, with my goal being my "ultimate goal weight"--which WW defines as a BMI of less than 25, so for me that is 126lbs. I"m going back on my points system...only 14 pounds to go!!!! WW is great because it is flexible,and once you do it, you forever think about what you are really eating and how many points it is, even if you're not vigorously counting them.

Gina:  I have been doing ww and I love it. I lost weight on it and stay on it to maintain my weight. I started a blog with my recipes and points if anyone is interested.

Libbie Sallee:  I once borrowed the 1-2-3 diet from a friend and it worked very well for me. I lost 30 lbs. in 2 months. Well, there came a time when I had to give it back. I have not been able to find another diet that works. I have severe back problems. I have had 3 surgeries and am still experiencing a lot of pain. My Doctor tells me the only way I can relief is to lose weight. I need to lose approx. 70 lbs. Please advise me as to whether and how I can purchase the 1-2-3 diet. Thank You

Nicole:  Gina I am interested to see your recipes??

Coco:  I joined WW in the middle of march 08 now july 08 i've lost 32.4lbs. I rotate between core and flex. I did have about 3 weeks were I was stuck- i'm now over that. Don't give up! Make sure you drink lot water before you workout. Also don't beat yourself up for falling off the plan.

Sara:  I just started WW Last Monday. I went and bought a bunch of Smartmeals, they are actually really good. I look forward to my weigh-in tonight i weighed myself yesterday morning and i was down 10lbs. I can't believe it!! The one thing that has really helped is that i cut out all Pop and have only been drinking water, lots of water. 9 more pounds before i hit my first Goal!!!!

Cherryl:  I can't afford to join ww, but I have the point guide, and know how many points I can have. Does anyone know where I can find a chart or someething to tell me how many portion of each food group I can have. That's where I'm running into trouble..Like I know I can have 2 tsp good fats daily, but not sure of the rest. Any help would be appreciated... I even bought a point calculator.. thanks,

rachael:  Cherryl, in answer to your question.... You need 6 serving of H20 5 servings of fruit or veggies 3 servings of milk 2 servings of oils

Sherika Lodge:  I just started WW 2 weeks now. I lost 1.5 lbs in the first week not really making good choices on the point plan, Im thinking of switching to the core plan not sure of the potion sizes. I think WW help me to discipline myself as to what I eat. I am determined to loose 70 lbs

Kathy:  I started WW again after several attempts. This time I lost 4.6 lbs. the first week. I hope I can keep losing. If you really think your day out you can do it.

Mary Ellen:  I have been going to WW for 11 weeks now. I have lost 18 lbs, but more important is the lifestyle changes I have made to my eating habits. I plan on sticking with it for life, along with an exercise program. I am only 4 lbs from my goal, but I know I need to stay on the program to maintain. I love our meetings, our speaker is great and motivating. I look forward to weighing in and staying for the meeting each week. Going to the meetings have definetley helped me and weighing in helps me keep on track.

Donna Liberti:  I've been to many a WW mtg. but what keeps me going to mine is our leader Ann Connors in Schenectady. She is real and motivated. She's great!

Krista:  I'm thinking about joining WW I'm 5'5 and weigh about 165ish id like to loose about 30 lbs. i managed to loose about 10lbs on a diet i went of on my own about a month and a half ago but it didnt really work out. i went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago and she recomended this so hopefully ill be able to join and hopefully it'll work =P

mandy:  I have been doing ww for about 4 days i feel okay... not all that great. i want to lose 60 pounds. do you all think i can do it? ):

LOCKIE:  Hi Mandy, yes you can do it. I joined WW 2 years ago and have lost 4 and a half stone. I have taken it slowly, not got stressed if I have had a bad week and hstill have a weekly treat. You go for it and good luck!!!!

katherine:  "she's back" I did WW a few years ago and lost 15 lbs however I work in a hotel and was not as careful as I should have been. I like the WW on line because it doesn't make sense to cheat because I am movitated to see those numbers match,
