Losing weight again -- finally!

Hello!  I just wanted to share with those who need to get back on track.  I put on about 25 pounds in the past year and couldn't seem to get myself to lose it.  About five weeks ago, I joined weigh****chers and, so far, have lost 14 pounds!  My husband joined with me and has lost 20 pounds.  I go to the weigh in and the meetings every week, which really does help. 

Congratulations on getting BOT.  I, too go to weigh****chers and it does help to weigh in once a week and get a lot of support.

You're doing great.

I am so glad to see this post. How do you get in your protein while on weigh****chers? What is an average day of meals like?
 I don't know if you  have seen Dotti's weight loss Zone website but it is really cool for those doing weigh****chers. http://www.dwlz.com/  If you are not familiar wiht website go in and look around has everything you need.
My mom did weigh****chers and lost 80 lbs in one year. I was never getting the protein I needed so hopefully you guys can give some examples of ways you get in your protein and stay in your point range. I did not use the protein powder which I guess I needed.
Looking forward to your responses.

Keep up the good work!!  I feel a face to face weigh in helps with accountability.  I just joined TOPS for this very reason.  Not as good as WW but with OH.com support TOPS is good for now.

Congratulations to you and your husband!  I have lost 8 lbs in last two months since joining BOT and it feels great!  How did you get your husband involved?  Way to go girl....

I joined WW in January and I have not lost anything and I feel like its too much food.  I get 33 points per day but I have been talking to others who have recommended going to the simply filling food program which means veggies and protein and only 1 whole grain per day. 

What are you doing if you dont mind me asking, becuase I really want to do my best but I know I'm not eating enough points, and when I do get enough points in, its because I have made wrong choices and not getting in what WW calls healthy food guidelines. 

As for protein, I really don't track it all that well.  However, I did find a cereal, Kashi GoLean, that has a decent amount.

As for my husband, he lost bunches of weight with me after I had gastric bypass surgery and he had gained a little too.  He was a little skeptical at first, but when he lost 20 lbs, he was a believer. 

As for the poster who has not had success with weigh****chers, I'm not really sure what could be the problem.  Make sure you count every morsel you put in your mouth.  I was guilty of "not counting" a few bites here and there. Also, I really tried to cut down on carbs too, at least white carbs.  I eat only whole wheat and I eat tons of vegetables.  I hope that helps and good luck to you!
