I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

I am finally doing it.

My best friend, her niece and I are all joining weight watchers on Monday!

I have decided to eat my butt off tonight and tomorrow.

I really want to dedicate myself to this. I need to lose weight desperately and being I finally got someone to go with me, I think it is good incentive.

Please wish me luck...I need all that I can get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good Luck! I did this a few years ago and lost like 10 or 13 pounds I think.

I want to try it again but don't want to go to the meetings. They are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring! There is weight watchers online that you can join so you don't have to go to those boring meetings...

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good Luck. You can do it. WW is great. You can really live a normal life doing WW.

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

And their froze dinners are good! Spaghetti Marinara and their 3 cheeses marinara are good.

The WW icecream is also good. You can still eat what you want with WW it's just in moderation. Gotta count your points...

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Speaking of loosing weight I have a cruise in a couple of months. I need to loose some weight myself...

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

good luck! I have to start myself!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

you can do it Noreen !!!

Im doing the WW Core program. I LOVE IT. It allows you to eat certain things (and allows SOO much!) and theres NO COUNTING Points.

you only count/are allowed 5 flex points per day of "cheating" things.

I cant count points all day long, so it works great for me.

and I never join WW, there are so many websites with lots of info. and if I was going to spend money to sit somewhere, I decided to spend it on a gym, and I get my workouts in with that "hour".

Here's one great one

3FatChicks (I know, what a name

and this one is VERY popular amongst the WW crowd.
Dotties Weight loss Zone
DWLZ.com

has fast food restaurants, recipes, etc.

you can do it noreen!! let me know if you have any questions or just need WW support !



also there are MANY yahoo groups devoted to WW, and they give out tons of info that the WW website will NOT give out unless you join. gotta figure out the backstage way to get info

Good Luck Noreen. I really need the motivation too to lose a ton of weight....

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Best of luck to you! When you're committed to it, it really does work. I joined last May and to date have lost a total of 53.6 lbs. I still have quite a ways to go, but I feel like it's been more of a lifestyle change this time around.

If I can give you a tip that has kept me sane: Save ALL 35 of your flex points, if you can, for the end of the week. Then, treat yourself to anything you want, just for one meal. DH and I go out for our reward meal on Sunday, right after our meeting. It's great, because it keeps you sane and takes care of any major cravings you may be having...which usually makes the week a lot easier. That's what has really worked for me.

Good luck!!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

You knwo I'm behind you 110%! I'm doing, as well, so we have each other, too!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good Luck!!!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good Luck! Where in Queens do you live? I have to get my butt over to WW. I'll be going to the one at Metro Mall.

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good luck!! I love the point system!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good Luck! YOU CAN DO IT!

I just rejoined yesterday as well. Even with the slow rate that I will loose (due to my heart condition).

I figure it is better than the pity party lifestyle (upset about my situation, therefore I feel it gives me license to eat cr@p) that I have been living since I found out about my upcoming surgery (I found out the day before Thanksgiving). Even if I loose 1/4 of a pound each week, it is better than nothing plus it will get me out of the funk I was in.

Good Luck Noreen!
I know you will do GREAT!!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

I gotta start going on a diet fast!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Lots of luck

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good luck! You can do it. I started a few weeks ago and already lost 8 pds. I pretty much only count points Mon-Fri and have what I want on the weekend. My advice would be to eat tons of low point or zero point food through out the day. When I make a frozen WW meal I always cook extra broccoli or cauliflower and add it to the dinner so it fills me up longer.

I really does work!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good luck!!! WW is great. I'm currently doing the points plan. I'm doing it on my own this time. I went to the meetings last year and in 5 months I lost 50lbs. Now after Connor, so far I've lost 30lbs in about 4 months. I'm losing it a bit slower than I did the first time, but I'm also BF'ing this time around and I'm not being as good as I was last time either. I need to be though!!! I keep telling myself Tuesday starts a new week. The problem is that I've been telling myself that over and over again. I haven't lost any weight in about 3 weeks unfortunately, but lately I've been a little more stressed so I've been eating more junk than usual.

Anyway, WW is great and it works. I've never done the core plan, (I don't eat healthy enough), but with the points plan for it to work you HAVE to count points for everything you put in your mouth. It definitely works! I think it's the best diet out there. I eat out all the time and I still lose weight. Have fun!!! It'll be nice to have some company I did it alone both times.

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Best of luck!!

Re: I am finally doing it! Wish me luck PLEASE!!!!

Good luck! WW was the only program that got me back to pre-preggo weight- and acctually much lighter than my pre-preggo weight! Keep us posted!
