WEIGHT WATCHERS ANYONE?
Hey Swans.
I'm not in the program, but I do have a friend who's daughter lost 40 pounds last year on Weight Watchers! She looks like a different girl!!!! And now her Mother has joined her for the New Year. I believe that's a great program! Good luck!

WEIGHT WATCHERS ANYONE?
Hi all,
I'm not in WW, but just went into the Research threads, clicked on a link that threw me into website links on depression, alcoholism and oddly enough weightloss. So I've just ordered a book online....how impulsive was that! Anyway, I await the arrival.
Meanwhile, I've found that by not drinking I'm not taking in some 800-1,000 extra calories a day...probably more as often I would add cheese and bikkies or cashews. So the weight just starts to drop away.
I was in WW a few years ago and dropped weight, so I guess I can vouch for it.

I had great success on WW when I stuck to the program, although I found myself not eating all the food so that I had points for wine left over.....sigh... I was a sad case back then.It always seems impossible until it's done....

You know Flip??? I have thought about that many times, trading wine for food calories, but a bottle of wine a night does not go with any diet. So I have to keep fighting that urge."Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance

I just joined WW and it was using their points manager/tracker thingy that made me realize just how much I am drinking. When I think of all those wine calories... eek!
Apparently your body always burns alcohol first before fat too - I don't want to give up the wine totally but lord knows I don't need to be drinking a huge bottle to myself just on a regular old Monday evening. I'm getting some Kudzu today in the hopes that it will help me moderate.
I had no idea I consumed so much wine until I saw it in that weight watchers plan - my wine points I had been drinking were more than my total daily allowance.... yikes. So ashamed.....

I had tremendous success with WW in the 90's, lost over 50 pounds. My main addiction at that time was working out (avoiding my alcoholic husband) I traded the addiction to working out for wine! I gained back the 50 pds plus a lot more!!!!! I have been a member onine for several years and start it anew every few weeks. I am on Day 3 AF and trying to get back on track with WW. It is truly the only program that works for me because there is no deprivation, just wise choices!! I highly recommend the program and would LOVE a WW buddy to support and movtivate me in the process!!!!

Weight Watchers works well for me, too, when I stick to it. My solution to the wine points was to fudge them. If you keep topping off your drink before it's empty, it's really just one drink, right? ; )
Just like tackling addiction, WW has a combination of elements with proven success: group support, tracking, and addressing the "why's" of overeating. The diet is healthy and real-world, too. I do a lot better when I got to real-life meetings, but full-time work and 3 kids make working that in tough. So I use the online program.
Four lbs gained over the holidays (not as bad as I thought, judging by jeans tightness!); down 1 after four days back on the tracker. I seem to be losing faster on the revised plan (lower carb) but eating more. Weird, but I'm not complaining!

Forgot to add--I've lost 15 lbs since last April, when I rejoined WW after a few years.AF since July 15, 2010. :applouse:

I've just joined in NZ. I find it helpful to be accountable. I mean someone is going to weigh me every week, and a bottle of wine a night just isn't going to allow me to lose weight. I joined for 4 months ahead of time, saving money and ensuring that I don't stuff it up by drinking. Plotting the food and exercise points is helping me stay motivated and stay AF, but I have found it hard this weekend. Tired, hungry and nothing planned for the weekend made it hard to resist buying a bottle on the way home, but I thought of all the money I would've wasted on WW if I don't stay off the booze. Gets me out walking the dog most days too.
