Weight Watchers

I have been on the Weight Watchers 'Discover' plan for around a month now and I have to say I find it really useful. The Discover Plan is an online plan, so you don't have to attend the meetings, but you still have weigh-in days and you can use the online calculator tool to measure what 'points' each food is going to contain. When you sign up, WW take your height, weight and target weight, then as long as your target weight is healthy they assign you a number of 'points' for each day to get you to your target weight in a healthy amount of time. The heavier you start the more points you're allowed so that you loose weight gradually and ...  Read the complete review

Ive being doing the weight watchers plan for what seems like for ever! I actually was really scared when I started because I had so much to lose but now a year on I have lost just over 2 stone, I still have a fair bit to lose but it feels like im half way up the mountain now rather then at the bottom of the mountain! I am also quite aware that a lot of people could lose two stone within like 3 months if not less but im still blissfully happy with my loss because although I have made effort to lose the weight I have also had quite a good time doing it, I mean the current plan is called the discover plan and when you start it you get a set amount of ...  Read the complete review

I have battled with my weight since my early 20's. When I was much slimmer, and healthier, I would laugh at people who spoke about weight battles. I mean, how can it be a battle to just not stuff bucket loads of fatty foods down your throat. That's not a battle, I would say, its just an excuse not to do anything about it. Now, 5 stone overweight, I can relate to that difficulty. It is hard to keep the weight off, even if you don't eat a huge amount of food. Its not always the amount of food you eat, but rather what you eat. I don't do an awful lot of exercise unless absolutely forced to. My lifestyle is that I work in an office, and quite often go ...  Read the complete review

I have found weight watchers very successful and have lost just over 3 stone in 3 months. It does take a lot of willpower to not get that cheeky takeaway(if you save up your points though, whats stopping you!) or to devour the lovely cheescake that is tempting you in the fridge but when you get on the scales and they tell you you have lost 2-3lbs its all worth it (even half a pound off is better than half a pound on) I find the meetings very useful and they have great tips along with reading through the booklets. I also work out the points value for all my food and count them (staying within my points range) The good thing about weight watchers is the variety of food you ...  Read the complete review

I first joined weightwatchers about 5 years ago and have since gone back and forth with joining and rejoining since. The long and short version, if I had to summarise the article in a line, is that it does work, if you can stick to it. I joined weightwatchers to obviously lose weight - I didn't have huge amounts to lose compared to the stories of people needing to lose 10+ stones, in fact, mine was 3 stone but I still felt that it was a chunk of weight to lose. The way weightwatchers works is that all food has a point's allowance. Point are calculated based on calories and saturated fat. So for example, bean shoots, onions, red peppers ...  Read the complete review
