My company offers WW at work at a corporate reduced rate and I am wondering if I should do it...I know it works on points but how long is it goign to take me to lose the weight, and is it really effective?
Thanks!

Re: Can someone fill me in on WW
everybody loses weight differently. and it depends on how much weight you want to lose and how well you follow the program.
ww says you should average .5-2 lbs per week.
it took me 9 months to reach my goal weight.
i am very happy with the results.

Yes! Everyone is different, some take longer than others. It is definately not a quick fix. It is a life style change. I worked my hiney off for the last 8 months and lost 50 lbs (but I am super strict and workout 4/5 days a week).
I know we live in the same hood. If you would like someone to go to ww with you for your first meeting, to help get you going, you can totally come with me.

Re: Can someone fill me in on WW
WW works if you follow the rules. I also think the meetings are great. It is inspiring to hear other peoples stories and everyone supports you if you are having a tough week. There are 2 plans core and flex.
Flex is points- you eat a certain number of points per day based on your weight and activity level.
Core- You can eat as much as you need to feel satisfied of core foods. These are healthy foods like fruits, veggies, whole wheat grains, potatoes and lean meats like chicken, turkey, lean chop meat and even lean cuts of beef.
How much you lose depends on you and how your body works. Everyone is different. I lost 33 pounds in about 5 months. Each week, I lost a different amount, anywhere from a half pound to two pounds. Some weeks, I didn't lose at all.
I love it because I can still eat the foods I want. I am just learning how to balance the good food with a little of the junky food that I love so dearly!

Re: Can someone fill me in on WW
My advice to you is to FORGET about how long it will take you. It will take time and you just have to come to terms with that We all want the weight to come off as of yesterday but that is just not reality.
The program is GREAT and can be worked into just any lifestyle. It really helps to go with a buddy. Me and my buddy are approaching our 1 year anniversary and I highly doubt I would've been this successful without her support. Having your co-workers support you will help you get through the day! My MIL did it at work and had great success!!
Good luck and come join our thread!!

I LOVE WW and plan on going back once I have the baby. It helped me lose 10 pounds before the wedding and is such a great program.

great advice!! You have to just take it one week at a time, otherwise it can get really frustrating...

I go to Metro Mall on Sunday at 7:30. i know it's early, but since it is first thing in the morning, things don't "come up" that prevent me from going. I work out at NYHRC across the street from my job on 49th Street and Madison.
No pressure, but I know sometimes it's easier to walk in with someone than it is to walk in alone.
