Hey guys. I'm currently doing Weight Watchers and did it in the past and can say 100 percent that it works great. I know you guys are saying, hmmm, did it in the past and now again how good can it work but.... this is what happened. I lost 30 pounds and kept it off for four years then became very ill and was diagnosed with Leukemia. I put the weight back on from being in active, meds. etc. Right now it seems like I'm in a reimission. Blood has been good for the past three months (Will be four months Jan. 30) so.. I started doing some light work outs and Weight Watchers.
It's a GREAT program. I do the point system as I did in the past. With regard to the dinners I personally love Lean Cuisine Margarita pie for 6 pts. the Lean Cuisine mashed potatoes and meat loaf for 6 points and in the w.w. dinners I like the rice and beans for 6 pts. OH and the desserts are delicious. I'm currently eating my snack now; Strawberry Shorcake 4pts. The eclairs are good too and they are 3 pts. then also the ice cream sandwhiches for 2 pts.
The key to doing well with the points is to figure out ahead what you are going to eat for the day otherwise you could over due it. The points go quick. I usually figure out my points for dinner in the morning then work around them, always allowing 4 points for a snack at night. Also, if you allow 2 pts. less then you can actually have that helps too. For instance if you are allowed 24 pts. per day and from the beginning only allow 22 points daily it really helps, especially for when your points drop due to weight change.
Good Luck to everyone and let's share our secrets as we go along.
