Ww Success Stories

[DISNEYmooner2008]

Hi, I am new to the WISH board but a very frequent visitor to the disboards. I was wondering if anyone has had major success doing weight watchers?? I do not have time for the meetings, so i'm basically just following the books and counting points. I've been doing it for about 2wks and i'm down 8lbs. I would love to lose 40 before my wedding in January... but I dont know if this is possible with WW...

My ticker shows my weight-loss efforts with WW. 43 lbs down as of this Monday. I've averaged 1.5 lbs loss the last 29 weeks. I expect to make goal between February-April. If you search, you can find my comparison shots and everything since I've started

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!!!

I think WW works if you follow the program. I have done WW with the meetings and without and was successful each time. I do enjoy the meetings because you can get so much out of them and support, but you can still be successful on your own with the materials. I lost 65 pounds, so I think it works.

Good luck on your journey! On average people lose 1-2 pounds a week if they follow plan, but the closer you get to your goal weight the slower the weight comes off. Just keep in mind that every pound you lose is closer to a healthier you and you may (or may not) lose 40 pounds by January, but whatever you lose will be a benefit.

I've been doing WW for over three months now and overall have averaged 1.5-2 pounds a week with some higher losses and one gain when I added a pretty intense exercise program (be prepared for that - but it's water and the pounds come back off). I love it. We order pizza at least once a week (I opt for Canadian bacon over pepperoni) and just overall I do not feel deprived at all.

If I could make a suggestion - if you don't like meetings, online is fantastic. I use my online journal all the time and the etools are terrific. I subscribed with the three month deal and now it's $16.95/month. Well worth it! They also have some amazing success stories online.

Good Luck!!

I have been on WW for 25 weeks now and I've lost 31 lbs! I think it's a great program...I NEVER thought I could lose this weight (I've been thinking about it for years!!) and finally WW has shown me how! For me, being able to eat the things I want (learning how to balance the occasional treats with healthy eating and smaller portions) is what makes it a liveable program. I really am thinking of it as a lifestyle change and not a diet. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now! I think you should give it a try! Make small goals first, and see how it goes!! You can do it!! Good luck!!!
