yes you have support online, it is excellent, you have a points tracker, weight tracker etc. they have forums also where you can talk to other people. they have a load of recipes. it is definately more expensive to go to meetings however in saying that, some people need that motivation to weigh in every week at a meeting place and have support face to face. i have been to meetings years ago and i must say, they are excellent. but online suits me better as i have a little one and very motivated this time to do it myself.
I did it for 2-3 months until I found out I was pg with this bub and found it really good.
I did the unlimited membership which I think is around $50 a month, includes all online access and unlimited meetings - I find I do a lot better if I go to meetings than just online.
I will be joining back up once I have my 6 week check after bub is born as they have a b/f points plan that I can do, and Im hoping to convince DH to join up as well.
Marydean, I always lost weight on the program, it is excellent.
I joined end of December for $89.95 for 3 months! They had a special going save $24.95 (one month's worth) - hopefully they still have the special going!
yep I went to weekly meetings. For me its more about having to face up to the scales every week (and knowing they are calibrated and not wrong like ours). A lot can depend on the leader - we went through 2 and the second one was a lot better than the first one, first would just read from paper through the outline, the second one was a lot more personal and interested. Its good to see people in the same position as you who are all going through the same thing.
Rayray, that's the same reason I want to go to meetings! Having a person to face when you step on the scales means you can't really make any excuses LOL.
I must admit, I've been a bit anti-WW all these years after a colleague was doing it at work. She would eat these tiiiiiiny quantities of food, it just didn't seem normal. Who eats only half the tub of yoghurt or half an egg, for crying out loud?! Plus she didn't actually need to lose any weight at all in the first instance, to look at her. Since then, I've been eating some of the WW brand food to keep my gallstones under control, most of it is actually quite good and substantially lower in fat than comparable brands, kwim? Made me think twice about the whole WW experience.
Hi i have just joined, i joined and am doing unlimited so i can go to as many meetings as i like in a week and i also have etools which is the online stuff ( communitites, recipes,trackers etc)
I have done weight watchers before and lost 30kgs , hmm then i feel into bad habits, just as i got back into shape i fell pregnant so here i am again. I am doing the breastfeeding program so slow and steady is the aim that way im hoping to avoid upsetting my milk.
Can you set your own pace for weight loss? Ie if you only wanted to lose 1 kg a month would that be ok or do they try to get you losing more than that?
Tan was it harder losing weight - I see in your ticker you have insulin resistance iss-ewes?
Hi Marydean.
Yes you set your own pace , there is no set amount that you have to loose, you do it your way. i am setting myself 500grams a week. sometimes i will loose more and sometimes it may be less but it doesnt matter either way.
Losing weight is hard work for me no matter what i do. I figure that i better do it now as i know it will only get harder for me as i get older.
I dont want to get diabetes and i am in the high ratio of getting it, i have family history, PCOS and i am insulin resistant and overweight. So i am doing it
to avoid this.
