Hi Everyone. I remember reading one of the threads where a lot of you were talking about weight watchers. Were you all refering to that points program. I forgot what its called. Many, many yrs ago I did join when they were doing the fiber program and the fat gram program. I did the fat gram one and it really worked well. I'm really interested in their newest program and i'm thinking about joining again.

Do any of you guys have any opinions on how the program worked for you and if its worth getting involved in. I do have quite a bit of weight to lose from my last child. I also like the support they gave me in the past.

I think one of the best things was that I had to check in every week on how I was doing. It does encourage you alot. Any opinions would be great.

Leander - how much wine can you drink on it? i'm not bothered about the chocolate etc, but the white wine is a worry! how does it work with that ?

leander · 30/09/2002 21:32

MABS white wine is 1 point for a small glass so you can drink as much as you like as long as you count it says she munching ona custard donut!!!!!
You can buy WW wine which is ok and is 1 point for a LARGE glass.

I joined WW about 8 weeks ago and have lost 9.5lb... only 10.5lb to go....
You'll have about 18-20 ww points - or more if you've lots of weight to lose. Everything has a point -or no points if you're happy to live on veg soup.
I did work out recently that I could theoretically have 3 bottles of wine a day on my points, but am waiting until christmas before putting it into action

leander is the WW wine any good? I saw it in asda the other day and must admit the fact it was ww actually put me off . I figure they have had enough of my money

Jasper, It's not too bad actually I can't remember what type of white wine it is though,I buy it If I know I'll be drinking a lot, say If I go to a friends house otherwise I just Buy a normal bottle.It's worth a try though.
