anyone here lost lots of weight and kept it off with weigh****chers?

Hi had my rny march 10 2007 so far lost around 61pounds.  I have joined weigh****chers in order to keep focussed on healthy choices.  How have you done with weigh****chers ?  How else do you keep the weight off? thanks debi

Hi debi I am not sure if my piddly 12# since february qualifies as an WW expert, but i love WW. This is my 3rd try with WW, it's not the program that fails, it's me who flakes. I have lost up to 30# with WW in the past. I love it because i can eat what "everybody else" eats. For me, i will only walk a thin line for a certain time, then I feel the need to get back to eating "normal" foods. I love to cook and while I have a certain repertoire of very tasty low fat recipes, I want to eat the richer foods too once in a while. Right now in fact i am doing bariatric foods most days all day long at work.  I love the convenience, the added protein has made a differecne in how hungry i feel - I don't feel hungry most days when I eat more lean protein!   I put those foods into my WW online recipes so they have WW points assigned to them. I encourage you to do the online piece...great tool to visualize your food plan. Best of luck!  Keep us up on hwo you do!

I have been on WW for a little over two years.  Of my 150 lost, 137 has been with Weigh****chers. I really don't feel like I'm on a diet.  I like to count the points like money, but I'm thinking of trying the Core Plan. If you haven't already, check out the WW boards.  Lots of post-ops find their way to WW, especially on the 100+/200+ to Lose Board. My screenname at WW is OWBody. Hope you'll drop a line!

Hi Deb!  I been on weigh****chers since April and have lost 25 lbs, this is my 2nd go around and iam going to make it work,  i love it to because i can eat what everyone else eats and not feel left out, its a very good change for the better, along with excersise. Best to you . Delilah

Hi Thanks to you all for the replies.  So far I am enjoying weigh****chers. I'm going to keep it up because its important that I don't start grazing1. Should keep me on the straight and narrow.  Good luck to you all for your efforts! debi

I started doing weigh****chers when I was about 5 months post op rny. I do the core program and love it. I stick with it for the most part, I am not by any means a model follower. It did help me reach my goal by my one year anniversary(150). I think its a great plan! Good Luck!

I always had a hard time with weigh****chers because there's too much room for error.  I'd stay within the limits but make poor food choices, so skip breakfast, have a big mac for lunch and then chinese for dinner and as long as I was in my points, I thought I was doing well.  No no no.  There's more to it than just the points.  Rough stuff.
