I think there's no "one size fits all" when it comes to a method of dieting/exercising, but WW is a great tool to get started.Diet Starts Tomorrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187308224733716089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608758528567925905.post-85818396400325942642011-04-19T19:55:05.598-04:002011-04-19T19:55:05.598-04:00I am a longtime WW member.

I still follow the old points system, not the new points plus program, and I am doing it on my own, rather than paying for the support of the meetings. One thing I have learned with my experiences on WW is on the weeks that I don't lose much weight generally are the weeks in which my daily points were real low. I found that I have better weight loss results when I am eating closer to my daily points target. I'm with you on the extra points allowance each week. Its great to be allowed a bad day but I save those for special occassions and try very hard to not have to use them. I also don't use my activity points. If I put in the effort, I want the results =) Good luck with your changes.Modern Day Momhttp://www.daytodayworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608758528567925905.post-2975654322193606882011-04-19T04:01:23.813-04:002011-04-19T04:01:23.813-04:00The system I am sticking with is quite similar to ...The system I am sticking with is quite similar to WW - food has points based on nutritional value, and if you save points, you lose weight; in addition you can earn "power points" and either use them or save them. <br /><br />I like this system because it gives me maximum freedom while showing me guidelines - and I have learned how to eat healthier along the way. It helps me plan indulgences (like the occasional pizza - all I have to do is be careful with the rest of the day and add in some exercise for the day) and get used to "normal" portions and eating intervals (to spread the points evenly over the day). I hardly ever use my "power points", but I like to see how much "extra" a certain amount of exercise adds to my day - I mean, it will help with maintaining once I am where I want to be, and I'd better get used to it right away. ^^Diandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570498251611083259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608758528567925905.post-47382088237234664612011-04-19T00:44:24.961-04:002011-04-19T00:44:24.961-04:00I love WW - I understand where you are coming from...I love WW - I understand where you are coming from and have found myself in the same spot before.

Good luck with it, though!MojoMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738456869530184077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608758528567925905.post-91491079385729480952011-04-18T21:54:42.808-04:002011-04-18T21:54:42.808-04:00I think WW is a great program for people who are j...I think WW is a great program for people who are just starting out. I did it years ago, and had success while I was on it. Now I am eating what I want, watching my portions, and counting calories. So far so good.Brendalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527215991516465142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608758528567925905.post-68812245987047821152011-04-18T19:49:08.837-04:002011-04-18T19:49:08.837-04:00I love love LOVE the new weight watchers. I don...I love love LOVE the new weight watchers. I don't eat my activity or weekly points unless I can't help it. I also choose what I want to eat and THEN figure out the points, though, so I'm not eating the same thing everyday. I've always eaten a ton of fruits and veggies everyday, so I really like that they are all zero points now. I just like the ease of it because I have a general idea of the points for things and I don't have to worry about big numbers like calories, and I like to make sure that I eat all my points each day so my body doesn't go into fat reserve mode. I don't know - to each his own! Good luck with whatever you decide!ThunderThighshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989064568517436257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608758528567925905.post-19205210863257584972011-04-18T18:58:15.022-04:002011-04-18T18:58:15.022-04:00I am doing weight watchers on my own also and I li...I am doing weight watchers on my own also and I like it enough. I am using as a starting off point but I think eventually I will stop and try to eat less and eat more healthy foods. I don't want to obsess over points the rest of my life! :)BabyRNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960914495981008409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608758528567925905.post-18713933532342547802011-04-18T18:45:18.385-04:002011-04-18T18:45:18.385-04:00I think Weight Watchers is a really great way to l...I think Weight Watchers is a really great way to learn about portion control and how much you should be eating each day. After a while it gets more intuitive. My mom lost 40lbs on Weight Watchers like 15 years ago and hasn't gained the weight back since, even after counting points. If you think you're ready to do the eating part on your own, it's really great! And like you said if it doesn't quite work at first, you can always go back to it! <br /><br />C25K: I just finished the second workout of the first week... I feel pretty bad about not having kept up, but I'm doing the third workout tomorrow and the first workout of the second week after tomorrow. Then I'll be in New York for the long weekend so I won't be able to do it. So I'll be about a week behind! Also, I noticed today the workout was quite a bit easier than last time. It always feels good when you can actually notice the improvement!Genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705010024498725022noreply@blogger.com
