Weight Watchers Review #35 by Adrienne Ewan on May 4th, 2008 at 10:46 AM CDT

Name

I have been on Weight Watchers for just over 2 years. It is NOT a diet, you are right about that. It is a way of life. I started on the Flex plan and it taught me portion sizes. I did not give up anything! I ate smaller portions of things. I have since switched to Core which is, in my opinion, is a healthier way to eat. I can still have the little things that I love like pizza, chocolate, even ice cream and cake. Weight Watchers has taught me HOW to eat and to lose the weight and keep it off. I have lost 118 pounds ~ a whole person and I am within 8 pounds of my goal weight. I am healthier and happier. My mother is 72 years old and has lost 110 pounds. She is now off of her diabetic medication and they have reduced her high blood pressure medication in half!

I have been on Weight Watchers for almost a year and lost 50 pounds safely and slowly. It is more of a way of life than a diet. I eat mostly healthy foods like chicken, brown rice, broccoli, whole wheat bread and pasta, turkey. However, if I want change once in a while, two slices of pizza, instead of a turkey sandwich and salad for lunch is not bad for you. Weight Watchers works if you stick to the plan. But I do agree it's not for everyone. But Weight Watchers did show me how much I use to eat and what I was eating. Now I eat better, and have cut back on my portions, except if it's broccoli, I eat more of that now. I have a healthy lifestyle now. I even quit smoking. But everybody is has there own opinion. Not saying that I'm right, this is just my opinion.

I had a vist to my doctor on 2/21/08 because I felt tired, rundown - no energy. I weighted in at 271# that day. My blood pressure was high 140/93, luckily everything else was okay. And he told me - you're carrying around another person, you should be tired - you need to get rid of that other person you're carrying around - so slowly and safely let her go. I thought about that and the next day joined weightwatchers on-line. I think the point system is great because it's nutritionally sound and a sensible way to learn to eat in the right portions and still enjoy life. I am allowed 31 points daily with the extra 35 a week. I signed up at the local Curves and work out 1/2 hour - 3 days a week. Some days I never even get the 31 points and I feel perfectly satisfied. I think that it all boils down to what is more important your life or pigging out. Today I returned for a 2 month check up - my blood pressure was 120/83 and I am down 19#'s. so no matter what you do to get healthy - it's a lifetime committment. Those of us who have struggled with the weight for years need to just let it go. Eat to live and not live to eat.
