i lost 10kg in 3 months when i did it, i made sure i religiously went to meetings, and made sure i planned my meals for the week ( 3 meaks a day and my snacks), i made sure i wrote down every single thing i ate and after a while it was just habit to do it...
im trying to go at it alone at home, but ill prob end up rejoining to drop another 10-13kg in a few months!
I too am a WW lover and now with their new pro-points system you have bonus points that you could use for your wine. I lost 47kg in 9 months there and I now work for them! hahaha Im hooked!
I used WW to lose 15kg after DD2 and it was very easy to follow. A friend did the Dukan Diet and lost the same but she had to change her eating radically - it wasn't normal at all and although she did well it was really difficult. All she could eat was meat basically.
WW does work but I got to a point I was sick of forking out money each week just to weigh in I couldnt stay for the meetings as I have a family and it was too hard.
My DH is doing Rapid loss shakes and in 3 weeks has lost 11 kilos it works. There is a new healty eating program called the swapit program where you swap something bad for something good. Look in the end all things work and if you are joining a gym then half your battle is over. I had a eating plan devised by my personal trainer just focused on healthy eating 5 small meals a day having carbs for breaky and lunch and a healthy dinner. Cutting out starchy food like white breads rice potatoes peas etc.Just cutting down portion sizes and limit bad foods and exercise and plenty of water. When I was training I went from 128kgs to 109kgs it does work my trainer used to say that alot of his clients like to have a beer etc so they train and eat pure during the week and this allows then at weekends to splurge a little. If you deprive yourself totally you will fail really quickly as I found out and also your mind has to be on the ball to. I hope you find what works for you and good luck in your journey.
I am currently doing WW. The new Propoints system is really good as you have a daily total and also a weekly total of 49 points that you can either use ie split teem into 7 days to give you extra daily points or save them for a special occasion. If you are bf I haven't checked sorry then you get 14 extra daily points if you have started weaning top ups of FF or food then it reduces to 7 extra daily points plus the 49 weekly. If your bf average weight loss they like you to loose is 500gm per week. If you use all of your 49 points you will still loose something.
I like WW because I need to be held accountable I have tried doing it online but there is no one to keep me honest. I stay for the meeting each week and I feel spurred on to loose the following week and the ladies & gents in my class are fantastic. My goal is to loose 16kgs. WW is using real food and learning how to eat healthy for all the family. I have chosen my favourite recipes and added them on to the online recipe building tool giving them all a Propoints value.
So far I have lost 2.8kg in 5wks, I am bf and I have had some weeks where I have had functions and thought I would never loose such as when we had a function with some Indian friends and they make devine curries and you can't say no!. I still lost 300gms.
It's my weigh in tonight and I've been really good so hoping for a biggish loss. It's also my me time with no kidlets. Even though DS1 always wants to come lol.
I could have made this thread myself! Just a few days ago I started looking into WW - it sounds really good and I think the meetings really help people stay motivated - but I just don't like the cost.
Good luck finding something that you are happy with LMP!!
