Official 2010 WW Thread!!!

Let’s start this New Year with a fresh new thread. Starting as of tomorrow January 1st. I would like 2010 to be as successful as 2009. Azad who started the thread 2 year's ago is such an inspiration to me and she makes me want to achieve my weight goal which hopefully will be by August or September of 2010 . So I want to wish everyone good luck and here is to a great accomplishment and amazing results!!!

I know i'm starting it early, But incase i dont get to make it tomorrow i wanted to do it before.. I hope we all have a Great journey together..Good Luck Everyone!!!!!

Re: Official 2010 WW Thread!!!

Can someone fill me in on WW?? I was thinking about joining but I'm a little hesitant. How do meetings work? Weigh ins? The plan?? How much does it cost? etc.

Any BTDT or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You can pay weekly which I believeis around $14 a week, or you can do the plan which is $40 for the month. If you call over the phone to join, they give you 2 free weeks for your first month, so its only $20. Thats what I did.

The program is called momentum. There is a point system, which they give you the break down on how to calculate how many points you are allowed for the day. There are so many options for this program, its not xtremely restrictive, you are allowed EVERYTHING in moderation. You get 35 extra points total for the weeek, so if say you are going away for the weekend and you use all your daily points Fri, sat, sun and then some, its okay because you have those 35 to fall back on. I dont really use them to much, but they are there to help you. When you join over the phone, they will email u a temporary pass, just bring it in to your closest WW center and finish everything there. They will give you all the materials you will need to get started and weigh you in. They will also give you a schedule of meetings. I did WW 2 years ago and was successful on it, but didnt attend meetings, only once did I go to one. I will go to them now weekly, becuase I think I need that support since I have a lot to lose.

There are alot of WW food in the grocery store and all the stuff they have at the centers are Phenomenal!!!!

If you have any other questions FM me .. & Good Luck!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Honestly, if you're dedicated you don't have to sign up for meetings. I follow the program just fine.

This is true but some of us need the extra accountability and support to stay dedicated.....

That would be me Chat Icon

I signed up this morning, my BFF been trying to get me to do it for 2yrs.
Registration is free and I got 50% off first month ($20).

The lady who hosted the meeting was really good at explaining and very inspiring. There was a guy there that lost 130lbs (passed around his pic). lots of the ladies lost lots too.
I really feel motived. Im glad they have weighins and meetings.

Re: Official 2010 WW Thread!!!

Count me in, I just joined (again) today. I have about 25 lbs to lose, although Id be OK with 20. My weigh in day is Friday, Im doing WW online.

I did WW 2 years ago at 6mos PP after NONE of the baby weight had come off. I lost it all, and 2 years later have put about 20 back on. Im currently at my heaviest ever, not couting being pregnant.

Im also quitting smoking for the 2nd time, simultaneously. Im going to be CRANKY..poor DH.

I also just ordered Fix it and Forget it Light - bc we want to start cooking at home more to be healthier, but dont have the time. So we thought wed actually use our crock pot, and I got the "light" crock pot cookbook so hopefully itll have some set it and forget it recipes.

Bought myself a new pair of adidas sneakers today and Im off to break out EA Active for the Wii.

Good luck everyone!

Count me in too. I'm totally disgusted with myself. I managed to ruin my minimal progress over this holiday season so as of today, I'm back on track.

Sometimes I take the WW egg sandwhiches to work with me and pop them in the microwave - 4 points.

Light English Muffins with some reduced fat peanut butter and sliced banana is a regular for me as well. - 4 points (when i use half of a 2 point banana)

Good luck!!

I made a box of fiber one muffins- the reduced fat recipe where you switch out oil for apple sauce and just egg whites instead of the whole egg. They are pretty big and only 2 points each!

Re: Official 2010 WW Thread!!!

For the new people....I recommend going to the meetings once a week. It is 45 minutes out of your week, and you will really learn a lot. I have done ww many times in the past, but this time I go to the meetings and I fimd that it is the best choice that I made. I found a really great team leader and I fimd it important to get my boost every sunday morning by attending the meeting. It really gets me ready for a great week. I have been a member since march 08.

I had a cup of low fat vailla yogurt, 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup of pineapple. 2 points! Yummy and filling. You can swap out the fruits for others like strawberries, bananna, cranberries, raisins ect.

Re: Official 2010 WW Thread!!!

I am down a total of 36.2 since my very first WW weigh-in (over 5 years ago). I went up and down but now I am back on track. I am hoping to lose another 7-8 pounds.

Good Luck everyone Chat Icon
