Weight Watchers Question
Hello Guys! I know it has been FOR-EV-ER since you heard from me...but i have a question..and after all this time..you are the first i think off...
I have to make a change in my life!! And NO! not because it is a new year..i have been playing with this idea for a looooong time now...
After almost 30 years of hating my body, exercising, dieting trying to eat right and bla bla bla..(i know some of you know what I mean) I want to learn how to eat right!
Not diet..eat right! I tried to do it on my own...and it is not working...I am a person who needs guidance.
I went to the gym almost every day...had a body I could live with and everything went to ****s (sorry) when we had orders to go to Texas..I can't stand it here..it's too hot to do stuff outside..my hubby bought me a elliptical trainer which I used..but then my eating habits got out of hand...now..i am heavier than I ever was and done with all this..
Now..to my question..do any of you have info, insight, experience or anything you want to share with me about the WW program?
Does it work?
Is it worth it?
will it help me to finally develop a healthy eating habit?
Any info is appreciated..
Thanks so much!!

My mom uses WW and it has helped her. She doesn't use the online site but found a WW book that uses points for what she can eat everyday. It isn't so much a diet as it helps you learn what to eat and how much is good for you. It goes by your height and weight. Hope this helps a little and good luck to you. If you want to know where she found the book let me know and I will ask her.
Mom Mom I hear this all day. Calgon take me away.

Yes ww teaches portion control and the correct foods to choose. One good ww book can guide you for life.

Check out www.sparkpeople.com It is free and offers a lot of guidance. You can get meal plans and exercise plans. Good luck to you.

ww works like this: (go to www.weightwatchers.com) It takes your height,weight, and sex and figures up how many points you can have each day. Each food is worth X amount of points. Fruits is a free food, so you can eat as much as you want of that, and most veggies, with the exception of the starcy ones. It is really important that you weigh and measure your foods in ww, as that tells you how many points you are eating. It is a very easy program. Jennifer Hudson is on ww, and she is a size 6 now.

At your first meeting, they will have you weigh-in (no, weight is not shared with others lol) This helps you to see the results from week to week. They will give you the materials you will need to get you started on the program whether you go with the points or the core program. The meetings are mostly to help keep you motivated. They will offer recipes and tips to help you. It's a great way to get together with others to find out things that have helped them. My mother-in-law was a meeting leader for years. She still gets cards from some of the ladies that were in her group 20 years ago.

They do not have core anymore, it is called pointsplus. They have totally changed the program.
