Has anyone tried Weight Watchers recently?

Has anyone tried Weight Watchers recently?  If so, how were the results?  What did you think about the plan?  The place I work is going to be starting Weight Watchers meetings and I'm thinking about joining.

I have not done it myself, but my mom and a friend of mine have both done it.

My friend lost 30lbs but now she is still a bit obsessed with it.. LOL

And my mom lost 50 lbs.  From what I hear once you get used to the whole point thing, its easy.  And you can still have some of the foods you like so you dont feel deprived.  I think they also have online support too so you dont always have to go to a meeting.

Plus I feel its much safer than some of the other diets.  I did the Atkins diet for a couple of years and made myself pretty sick. I did it really strict which is not the proper way to do it.  Lesson learned there!

Good luck with what ever you decide to do.

I am currently doing weight watchers.
I have lost 12lbs, and I LOVE following the program, it's so easy, once you get the hang of it!
It's nice to have a support group as well.

OH and the BEST point..
It's a way of life... you can eat the foods you want to, just in proportion... Good way to go!

Sounds like it may be a good way to go.  Luckily we've garnered enough interest that we'll be able to hold the meetings weekly.  Wish me luck!

ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD!!!

If you try, you will succeed!!!

Thanks for the encouragement!  Although the company I work for hasn't started the WW, a local fitness studio is starting a new program where you join a team to compete with another team for weight loss.  That might be a better way to go, since I won't want to impact someone else's success by eating what I shouldn't.

I'm starting WW today!!!  I'm doing it with a bunch of co-workers, but we don't have enough people to have a meeting here.   We're just doing it ourselves.  I wonder if it will work this time?  I hope so.

[markjoy]

Good luck, Spachick!  I've lost 3.4lbs so far and still going...

[Spa-Rella]

Ok - this doing it on your own thing isn't working for me.   I'm going to hunt for a meeting!   I think having to step on the scale every week and report my loss/gain will make me stick to the program.   How is everyone else doing?

[markjoy]

Well, it's going very slowly...4.6lbs, but at least I'm losing every week.  I think the meeting support is half the program.

[Spa-Rella]

4.6 pounds!!!  That's awsome.  Slow and steady wins the race!   
I haven't joined yet ......

[markjoy]

Very, very slowly!  lol, I just made it to 5lbs, but to tell you the truth I haven't been sticking to plan.

I just started Weight Watchers this past Monday, and I'm so glad that I have finally made the leap and joined something!  We'll see how it goes at weigh in next Tuesday.

The hardest part is getting started! It gets easier from there!

Ok, I am normally a lurker here, but I had to post on this. I have been at WW for 16 weeks now and LOVE it. I have lost 27.5 lbs! I still have about 30 to go, but once you get used to it, it is easy. And if you feel like you had a bad week and maybe even gained, its ok, just try harder the next week. Remember there is always tomorrow as long as you dont use that as an excuse for eating more!  Anyways, I go to meetings, but dont do the online.
