weigh****chers points????

i am doing weigh****cher points since jan. 22nd.... does any one else do them? is it safe for us? whats your thoughts on this? Anita

I've been counting points since September and I'm still alive so I'd say it's safe. There are several other ladies that had WLS in my meetings as well.

I've been doing Weigh****chers since July. I do what was called the "Core" plan. Now it is called Filling Foods. I eat lean protein, whole grains ,fruits and veggies and fat free dairy. Good luck...

Is anyone losing on these WW plans?

I've noticed every once in a while someone asks about this or that "diet" which leads me to this question:

Did Weigh****chers work the last time(s) you tried it?

To borrow a phase from Shakespeare: "The fault lies not in the diet, but in ourselves"

In the end, if you want to use points because a point is roughly 50 calories then its just a convenient way to keep track of your eating.  Whatever you do, however, will need to be done forever.  You will not be able to do weigh****cher points for "a while" and have long term success.

Don't knock it till you try it...

You better than others should now not everything is for everyone..

I for one am using WW for weekly accountibility... that is face to face and not hiding behind an IE window.. so.... to each his own...

Point counting is just like WLS.. it has to become a way of life and for some the task of counting may be just another way of developing healthy habits. and assimulating to what is healthy...

WW is no more of a diet that WLS.. it is a lifestyle..

Man up and realize you and WW are actually working to the same goal....

Hi Anita,

I just recently started.. although I haven't really seen any weight loss yet.. the healthy habits are starting to come back and that is what I wanted.. I am making healthier choices.. so I think it has its benefits..

I went back to WW because I couldn't get below 200 lbs.I'm at 177 today and I also need the accountability. I did WW about  5 years ago and I did lose 95 lbs. I did gain most of it back. Now since I've had WLS I can enjoy the  group setting and the weekly weigh-ins. Whatever works...

I am doing WW, started 3 weeks ago and have lost 6 pounds. It is a lifestyle and you are accountable to yourself, especially the $$$$ and your health. Do what works for you. The most important reason is our health.
