Avatar f tn I assume you have talked with your doctor about it and gotten suggestions, but they haven't worked? The second thing to try because it's available and does work for lots of people is going to Weight Watchers. You aren't obliged to buy the food marketed as "Weight Watchers" meals in the freezer case to do Weight Watchers, it's a good program and has a lot of reinforcement if you go to the meetings and participate.
Avatar m tn This helps me alot maybe now my husband will get off my back about weight watchers . He is on this weight watchers diet and is doing so good well i keep telling him that i can't do both and i know i need the carbs to put in my pump . He gose no you just eat like weight watchers and add the carbs in too ur pump don't worry about the carbs is this right ? i know it sounds like the same question but it isn't .
Avatar f tn Has anyone done this diet and seen the results they were looking for? I'm very interested in Weight Watchers and would like to hear people's experiences to know I'm not going to wasting my time and money..... Any responses are welcome. THANKS.
Avatar m tn ve been following Weight Watchers for 2 months, very faithfully, writing everything down, staying within my points range and I haven't lost a pound! Up 1lb. one week, down 1lb. the next week. This goes on week after week and I stay the same. I exercise my butt off at least 6 days a week for an hour or more a day. Cardio/weight training and Karate 3x a week. I've had my Thyroid checked and everything is normal. I've done Weight Watchers in the past and have been very successful.

Avatar f tn After an unsuccessful attempt with eDiets I joined weight watchers and have had success. The main difference between weight watchers and eDiets is the meetings and I love them. No one divulges their weight and nobody gets personal with sob stories and the like. We are all woman (and the occasional man or two) of various sizes and experiences sharing ideas and encouragement. There are no judgements or shame and I learn an awful lot.
920091 tn?1244186152 I have pcos and am currently a member of weight watchers I have lose a total of 25 lbs since mid feb and I feel that it help I also try to eat foods that are high in protiens becasue for women with pcos that is the best type of diet to follow a high protien low carb diet and I think that weight wtchers is good becasue it also help keep your calorie intake down so you can lose the weight.
484167 tn?1210001396 has anyone tried the weight watchers program online? i am considering it but i do not want to waste my $....i always thought you had to attend meetings and get weekly weigh-ins...not sure if it is such a great idea to leave it all up to me...?? anyways, any info or input is greatly appreciated...thanks...
Avatar f tn I think there are two types of Weight Watchers plans you can do, the plan where you count points and the one where it is a lower carb diet. Anyways, I gained weight on weight watchers before, when there wasn't the lower carb choice. I am now doign South Beach and have had success this week.
Avatar f tn Check out the weight watchers site or sparkpeople.com for more info. Weight watchers is a program that is really good, sparkpeople is a free website that has some really good info, too. Drink your water, watch your salt, take a good multi-vitamin.... And IF you have to have "snacks" try to eat the 100 cal stuff (and only 1 bag...not the entire box). Some of those snacks are too good, so I have to stay away. As for stuff for particular medical issues....
Avatar f tn The best diet I have found is Weight Watchers. It is recommended to only lose 1-2lbs a week. Drink 8glasses of water a day, that will make you fuller faster and cut down on calories. Alot of the diets that you have probably made you want to lose weigt but gain make gain the weight back quickly.Also remember to exercise 30mins a day. whether it is a tape or taking a walk. Good Luck and Let us know what happens.
Avatar f tn i have been doing weight watchers for 4 weeks and have only lost 2 lb i have started walkiing 2 hrs every day and a tia bow class once a week, also i have been jogging on my trampoline for 15 min a night .
Avatar m tn in order to get to my goal weight. Other then Weight Watchers, can anyone recommend a diet or some kind of weight loss plan which has helped you. What I don't like about the current W.W. plan is keeping track of the points. It doesn't have enough structure for me the way the old W.W. plan did from the late 70's up until about 1997. The old "Exchange" plan told you what kinds and how many proteins, low fat dairy products, grains, starchy vegetables (i.e.
1987892 tn?1326690776 If you join a weight loss program do you have to eat their foods or can u buy your own from the store?
435762 tn?1244682620 For that weight and breast feeding, they usually allow 26-28 points, depending on how much activity you have daily. I hope this helps.
20826041 tn?1525217495 I will add, if you are in the US, try Weight Watchers. It really helps to lose weight in a group. Their meetings are useful and informative.
5967969 tn?1377547630 Plexus dulls your appetite; you may be having low blood sugar because you aren't eating enough food; same could happen with blood pressure, but you should talk to your doctor to be sure there isn't some thing else wrong. I did a quick search of Plexus Slim and it's supposed to be diabetic friendly, though I wouldn't necessarily trust it. Are you diabetic? Why would you have checked your blood sugar?
2090601 tn?1334515062 Optifast is program that comes in stages starting with a liquid diet then gradually reintroducing food. Unless you are obese or seriously overweight I'm not sure this potentially pricey program is the one for you, especially since you are not hungry anyway. To be honest, I'm not sure even Weight Watchers is a great idea while you are treating. Like others I agree focusing on eating healthy and remaining active is the way to go.
Avatar m tn I have been taking metformin for over ten years, synthroid, crestor, spirnalactone, & provigil. I am not a diabetic, but considered to have Metabolic X syndrome. I really want to loose some weight, but it doesn't seem to come off if I eat healthy and exercise or don't. My weight seems to stay the same until I try to diet. I'm faithful for about 6 to 8 weeks with no results, then I go back to my old habits and gain about 5 pounds. I'm almost afraid to diet.
443968 tn?1288612689 I wish I could afford to buy the weight watchers program, I have heard is a wee bit expensive, so I guess I am going to have to just wing it. I love the idea of sharing recipes and even maybe coming up with a daily work out plan and daily recipe schedule. Maybe we can suggest what to do for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a daily basis but of course the day before. I know I need to start working out but can't get myself to do it. Is nice to have the support.
942482 tn?1246369357 I've never used either, but have been considering using either Weight Watchers or Curves to help me get motivated to lose weight. I recently moved to Richmond, VA and feel that I could use one of the programs to help me meet others that can help encourage me. My husband is fantastic, but he has never had weight issues, and although I'm surrounded by family none of them are overweight.
Avatar n tn Ive been a weight watchers member for 9 weeks now and have not lost any weight. Im very frustrated I was diagnosed with Hashimotos/Hypothyroid last Sept and im taking synthroid as a result. My levels were normal ( 1.0) last December. Am i to expect SSLOOOOOOOW results because I am just frustrated. Is there anyone out there that has any suggestions of how im going to loose this weight (15 pounds)??
676912 tn?1332812551 I used weight watchers method to lose the almost 40lbs I gained with Franky. It's basically portion control and food choices. If you want to eat mcdonalds you can, but then that is all you are allowed to eat for the day pretty much...lol. I bought the book set on ebay for $50 I think, and never joined the group just did it on my own. It tells you all the foods points even for restaraunts, and how many you are allowed for your specific body type and goals.
2089111 tn?1332697773 s a slow process but we are learning better ways to handle one another and alos how to handle our own emotions without taking it out on one another. As for Weight Watchers, it is a great program. So easy to maintain. I hope that I have the success that you have had on it.
Avatar n tn There are many good ones including weight watchers. Meeting with a nutritionist to devise a weight loss plan is also quite helpful overall. Increasing physical activity is a good ideal. Overall, most people WILL lose weight if they restrict their food enough, so if he is not losing weight then he needs to eat even less. But this does not mean the weight will stay off or even continue to drop. He may need some medication help as well.
649848 tn?1534633700 For example, are you on a commercial plan, such as Nutri-system, Medi-Fast, Atkins, Weight Watchers, etc, or are you working on lifestyle changes that you’ll stick with over the long term? Are you reaching your goals on your plan?
637356 tn?1301924822 Hi everyone, Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I have gone through a divorce, almost lost my house, lost some of my furniture, lost my truck, and the one I was driving broke down. I have gone through a lot in 2010 but I figured it is 2011 a new year and a new start!! I got a new job, saved my house, and I am slowly rebuilding everything I lost!! Anyway, through all the stress I gained weight and didnt' care...I had given up on everything.
