No worries ladies :)
I was wondering if anyone else joined up and if you did whats your thoughts??
Im thinking Im going to join up properly once the trial is over. I got an email the other day about not having to pay for sign up if I join up in the next week, which is some pretty good bait for joining ;)
Its definately different to what I thought it would be, and Im almost sure that the point allowance is way too much for me at the moment.
I did ww at home and it was interesting reading - but useless really!!
Main things that put me off are the group format and having the points..,, we already have kilojoules & calories to use for counting so I always though ww points was a bit redundant and ridiculous...
But I'm sure if you are committed - whichever program you use will probably work :)
Its the commitment that's hard!!!
This is for the OLD points system. ProPoints is different. It is generally an extra 14propoints for fully breastfeeding mums. And there are no such thing a half ProPoints. ;):
I have lost 30kgs after each baby (still working on loosing it after this last one) following Weight Watchers, and couldn't recommend it enough. :)
Will also add that the $1 joining promotion is a bit of a marketing ploy. Generally speaking, Weight watchers charge a $33 membership fee, and then you pay for your meetings on top of this. However, if you sign up with Unlimited (meetings and etools) you never have to pay this membership fee anyway (and it is cheaper then just paying for meetings on their own). And they run that $1 joining fee promotion so often, that there is usually only a couple of weeks between promotions where anyone actually has to pay the full $33 fee anyway. ;)
Thanks Misty, thats handy info! :) Unfortunately, I wont have access to meetings anyhow, there are two meetings here, and well they're at 5:30pm both days, and both days Im home alone with the kids, not to mention 'its that time of day'! :lol: So Im thinking I'll do the online thingy which if I do the 3months up front payment they waive the joining fee.:
But Im still going to ring them and see if they have another time i could do the weigh in.
What I am liking about this so far is that its the easiest when it comes to the girls. Ive tried a few things, not many let you join if you are breasfeeding and the meals often arent kid freindly.
BB- did you have to put in your credit card details, even with the free trial?
I gave them my paypal details when I signed up for the trial. I think that if you dont want to do it after the trial you have to cancel your account before the trial end date. I couldnt remember my credit card details wehn I signed up, which is probably a good thing!:
You know that you are welcome to take your kids along with you to the meetings if you want to. So long as they are not disruptive. Alot of kids enjoy joining in, whilst others just sit in the background and read or colour in - and if you want you can just go and weigh in and then leave straight after, not actually staying for the meeting.
Having said that, the online tools are fabulous on their own. I know many people who have just used the online tools successfully. I would recommend going to a chemist or a dr surgery or somewhere at the same time each week (most places like chemists and drs are happy to let you do this for free) or even a friends house, as it gives you accountability (it is different weighing in front of someone else, rather then just on your own bathroom scales). There are also forums on the weightwatchers website, they provide a wealth of information, however aren't (IMHO) very well moderated; so be sure to take whatever is said with a grain of salt and try to get a couple of opinions (especially is something sounds to good to be true).
I attend meetings probably every second week, but I use my iphone app (which is free with etools) constantly throughout the day, it is what keeps me on track.
I have just joined online about 2 weeks ago and have lost 3 kg. I'm on my way. It is making me more aware for sure! Had a bit of a splurge and bought fish and chips tonight. Oh well! I didn't eat it all and I am back on board :)
Well Done Bella!!:
Ive kind of being on and off track all week, and I didnt weigh myself properly before I started, so who knows where I stand today. But Im definately keen to give it a real go. I need to lose about 25kgs, I think thats doable.
Misty, thankyou. Yeah my girls wouldnt be quiet and well behaved there, well not at the moment anyhow. Never thought about going to the chemist or drs weekly, thats a great idea! Thank you
I keep missing threads! thanks for the encouragement BB :) Not lost more than a further .6kg, but it is really hard whilst moving house. Last week I stayed exactly the same. but I will move on!
Thats still pretty good. Last week I lost .5kg, but I think that is what is reccommended when breastfeeding. This week Im aiming for a kilo loss though. Im slowly getting the hang of it all. And to be honest Im kinda of enjoying it, its like a game or puzzle to me. quite fun, just got to get on the exercise program a bit more though.
Yeah I am doing no excersise at the moment. I am just trying to get us moved.

i just started last week Twinkle. maybe we should start a new thread and get everyone who is currently on it to join and chat?
