Weight Watchers - Chicago,IL
Has anyone tried weight watchers and had success? I want to join for a month only, and lose about 10 pounds. Has anyone that kind of success with Weight watchers. If so, online or meetings?

I did it for maybe 10 months after my first child. It's not easy but I was happy with it. I think weight watchers is about long-term changes though, not quick weight loss. I lost a pound a week. I plan to do it after my second child is born too. I did the online program, they have a very extensive web site. Never went to a single meeting.

I have friends that joined WW and have lost weight. I had lost when I joined a long time ago but then got stuck. For me, exercise is everything. If I don't exercise, it just does not get past a few pounds. Right now, you can join WW online for free to try it out. It ios worth a shot. I might do it again just to get started. But WW is also a great way to rethink how and what you eat and use that even when you don't follow the program. www.weightwatchers.com/free (saw it on TV today)

I did weight watchers after I had my 2nd baby. I lost 25 pounds in about 5 months...without exercising too much, BUT I was still flabby. Exercise will really help you to tone up. My husband and I both did it together using the points system and it wasn't too bad. I of course would always rather eat what I want when I want, but WW gives you the ability to still make choices about what you want to eat. It is certianly a lifestyle change not just a "diet." We also only did it on-line, but I know some people who say that wouldn't be enough for them. After I have my baby I plan to go back on it. Good Luck if you decide to join and don't hesitate to ask any questions!

I joined before I got married, 4 years ago. I just did the on-line. What is nice about online, is that you can find and print a ton of receipes and then just throw them in a binder and keep them forever, even if you are not a member in another month, you will still have the receipes for healthier eating. That is really what it is all about anyway. Good luck!
