Weight Watchers Review #38 by Gail Burgess on June 3rd, 2008 at 12:10 PM CDT

WW is an excellent way to lose weight. But, more importantly, it teaches you to THINK about what you put in your mouth! For example, 1 T. of peanut butter goes a long way, and it tastes the same as the 3 T. I probably used to slather on my piece of toast. We all know that when we are accountable (and the pocketbook is involved) we will try harder. When I count out the 12 french fries (3 pts.) I know I'm going to think about the taste, texture, smell, etc. rather than scarfing them down. Awareness, discipline, appreciation of food, better health, and success==that's what I've gained==and lost 10 lbs. in 2 months.

Some pretty interesting comments here. At 35 years of age, I decided to join WW last week. I have been what I call the "roller coaster" type for about ten years now. I currently weight about 195 lbs and about every two years I get down to around 165 lbs. So... I sat in my first meeting and heard everything the leaders had to say. Guess what??? The only thing I felt was a bit of embarrassment that I had to be there in the first place. Every, and I mean everything the leader had to say was simply basic laws of nutrition. Energy in vs energy out. If you consume more calories then you burn you will gain weight, bottom line!! The key to weight watchers is paying a small amount of money to keep you in line, to hold yourself accountable. I think this program is dead on for ones who want to lose weight but love to eat a piece of cake every now and again. Oh negative ones, take a look in the mirror and figure out if the program is the problem or you are....

I joined WW because my family was pressuring me to loose weight. I only had 35 pounds to loose. So far I lost a total of 8.2 pounds. The weight is coming off slow. I do however don't count my points. I have been watching what I eat and drink plenty of water. I can't seem to gave up my sweet tooth. I joined a gym which I exercise 3 to 4 times a week. I feel better about myself and hope one day i could start counting my points.
