WooHoo!  I decided to "Just Do It" and I'm so happy I did!...

...Join Weight Watchers, that is.  That was 2 months ago.  I attended the meetings for a month and then "dropped out" of the program (or at least the meetings) but kept on doing exactly what I had been doing while attending the meetings.  I lost 20 lbs. in less than 2 months!

My daughter signed up with me although she didn't really need to lose much.  She attended meetings with me for 3 weeks, lost 5 lbs., dropped out and gained the 5 lbs. back.  She didn't have the motivation and dedication I have about it and was basically just doing it for her Mom. 

At first my husband didn't want me to do it and didn't want to do it himself but after the first week he teamed up with me on the program and we have a really good support system going with just the 2 of us.  He has lost 16 lbs and looks great!  Today he told me that he is happy that I insisted. :o)

The good thing about Weight Watchers is that you can have a variety of foods.  I buy the Weight Watchers Smart Ones dinners and so far they have all been yummy.  We can enjoy other foods as well and we even eat out in restaurants occasionally. We go on the internet and see how many points different dishes have at favorite restaurants.  For fast food, we love Whataburger and could have a Whataburger every day if we wanted to.  Weight Watchers also makes ice cream treats and I have one at least one each day.  You can eat all the veggies you want and you can have fruit. 

The program is based on a point system and as long as you stay within your allowed points you will lose weight.  WW provides a point calculator to figure up points for different foods and all of their food products come with the points already stated on the packaging.  That makes it super easy.

If you have been wanting to lose a few lbs., I highly recommend Weight Watchers!  You don't have to attend meetings since they have an online program you can follow but I think it is a good idea to attend meetings at first to get jump started.

Bon Appetit!

Hi Shriley, I tried Weight Watchers for a little while, but lost motivation.  I have all of the information though and it's a great way to lose weight along with exercise!  Lots of luck to you and keep at it!

Last Fall, I decided to make changes. Simple ones. I gave up junk food. I gave up processed foods or stuff in bags and boxes with ingedients. I ramped up fruit and vegetables. There's no sugar for the most part. Almost 30 pounds have fallen off just trying to give up junk and sugar and processed stuff. That's my WooHoo, too!

I agree with Cheryl Ritchie.  Cutting out all the sugar, processed foods, fast foods and junk foods will help one lose the weight.

I have started walking and trying to build up endurance to run as well.  I have watched what I am eating now.  I haven't weighed myself yet, too scared to do so. hahahaha

Shirley - Congratulations on the weight loss!  Twenty pounds in two months is absolutely huge!  I've been dieting and swimming, but haven't lost but a very few pounds in the last few months.  I suspect that it's because my fat has turned to muscle. . .I do seem more toned - less fluffy:-)

Good for you, Shirley! Since my husband bought a Canon Rebel camera a year ago, I take it on my walks with me. It encourages me to go on more walks, and even longer walks, and I'm actually down to my college weight -- 30 years later!

I love Whataburger. My husband is from Texas, and he introduced me to Whataburger in 1994 when he took me to San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Kingsville.
