Atkins always works for me

I never liked WW b/c I have a problem with portion control, or just eating 2 cookies. It's either do or die for me!

Re: What plan do you have the most success with

for me- no plan works

just good old fashion cutting back on things that are bad for you

this week- I cut out sugar- but I am eating fruit

and I am cutting back on carbs- but not cutting them out- for example- when I get a salad for lunch- no bread

Hey knee twin!! When I was having my knee/ankle issues and really couldn't work out, I had the most success with South Beach. It at least gets the water weight off at first and you can see a real difference from that in just a week or two. It definitely gave me the motivation to stick with it since I saw results so quickly.

WWers. I didn't work out at all & dropped 25 lbs in a few months.

My feeling is it teaches you about portion control, which ultimately is why people gain weight.

WW's def!! I have lost 14 lbs since Aug.

Re: What plan do you have the most success with

I just counted calories and wrote down everything I ate. I figured out how many calories I need to maintain my weight, subtracted 500 and ate that, for the most part. If I worked out I ate back those burned calories. I lost 28 pounds in 5 months and have kept it off since June so far. It was great because I could eat whatever I wanted - if I ate something bad, I just figured that into my calories for the day and moved on. I joined a free website that has a food log thing and calorie amounts for pretty much everything.

I guess its sort of a modified WW but I can't handle the whole meetings thing.

Fat Smash Diet. Nothing works as well for me - It takes a little getting used to - but I did it to jump start my post baby weight loss (I did it around 7 months ago) - lost 5 pounds in a week. And 5 months later - I did it again because I had hit a plateau and still had 10 pounds to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. I did it for 9 days and lost 7 pounds.

Now I'm back to watching what I eat and going to the gym - but when I need a real jump start, it works really well for me.

WW!!!

I don't go to meetings, I just do it on my own. As long as you know the points formula and how many points for your weight, you can do it. I've been making a lot of WW recipes and I am REALLY enjoying the food and losing weight. In about 4 weeks I'm down 7lbs, but I think it would really be more, but I have definitely added some muscle which weighs more than fat.

I also agree with WW. But you have to stick to it!

Re: What plan do you have the most success with

WW all the way. I had success with low carb while I was on it but once you are off the weight comes right back on. I know WW is a lifestyle I can follow and will have to follow forever.

Re: What plan do you have the most success with

WW. Never went to a meeting and I lost 30 pounds.
