Advice PLEASE!!!

[Miller1412]

I would really love some advice from the experts! I'm ready to start a life change in the way that I eat. I need to lose about 75 lbs (for starters) and I really and determined to suceed this time. Of course, I've tried it all, and did really well with Atkins (40 lbs) but got bored with the no carb lifestyle and quickly gained it back + more. I feel crappy, I'm frustrated with my lack of willpower and the more I gain, the worse my eating becomes. It's a vicious circle.

So...my question is...I need a plan. I'm debating between WW and Jenny Craig. I know WW is more realistic about a lifestyle change vs. a diet, but I've also "been there done that". In the past, I was not committed. I need to stay committed and strong!!

Should I go WW (again) and hope this is the time it sticks, or should I try Jenny? I'm also hoping to stay on this board for lots of support!!

Why is this so **** hard?????

Hi Miller1412...

First thing... whatever program you decide to do, you must decide to be commited. You could do any program, lose the weight, but if your not commited at keeping it off, you'll put it right back on.

Second... I've been doing WW for almost 14 months and have lost almost 65 pounds. I've lost it slowly, and unlike Adkins with most people, I've been able to keep it steadily off.

I'm not sure how long ago you did WW, but they have a Core program now which really works for most people. I don't know much about Jenny Craig, but I really believe in the WW program and think you should give it another try.

You just have to say to yourself how badly you want it. I've always wanted to wear the cute little clothes and now I am. You can do it too.

Good Luck

Hi! I have found WW to be very effective and "liveable." I have joined with 2 friends - all of us have vowed to go "every" week without missing. If one of us gets down or discouraged, the other 2 go into "help" mode. It seems to be much better, support-wise, with friends. I know that if I don't show up at the meeting, my friends will be on my doorstep wanting to know why! Good Luck!
