Weight-watchers on-line anyone?

[Millie1]

Just wanting to know if it's worth doing on-line, will I get results, which diet plan is best etc etc. This is new to me ... weight has crept on over the last 12 months (about a stone but I don't need to lose the full stone, I think) and I really need to get some off. I've always been lucky in the past and never had to watch what I eat but ... 2 children, snacking, comfort food etc etc .

So, any advice for a novice please?

Uh-oh ... I've killed my own thread before it's even started!

Is anyone able to give me some advice/pointers? Pretty please!

I do weight watchers online I signed up for 3 months and have lost 1 st 5lbs. Am just a couple of lbs above my target weight but have fallen off the waggon for a couple of weeks (well it has started getting colder thats my excuse!)
I did the No Count which gives you a list you can eat from. Anything not on the list has to come within a weekly limit of 21 points but you can earn more by excercising.
It worked really well for me as I piled my plate with veg and ate plenty of fruit between meals so I didn't really feel hungry. I also saved my points incase I went out for a meal or a drink so that I didn't have to feel deprived.

Hello - I have been doing it for a week adn a half and lost 2lb in the first week. I think it was a bit of an advantage having done ww on my own before so i was already up on the whole points thing. I am going the other one to crinklechunk, the one where you count your points.

I think it is great - the tools are fab and there is so much advise. I get really excited tracking my points at the end of the day and banking what I have not used (going out tomorrow night so I have been saving lost for then). I have about 3/4 of a stone to lose and signed up for the three month version and am hoping not to need it after that, but have the healthy lifestyle instilled.

I would really recommend it

Thanks for the replies! Don't quite know how to work this ... I really want to access it both to get rid of a bit of weight but also to use it as a tool to really improve my diet BUT ... my weight is below the minimum joining weight for my height . So ... do I 'cheat' and reduce my height by a few inches so as I can qualify. Like I say, I don't have much to lose but my weight is increasing and I want to nip it in the bud. Words of wisdom - anyone? TIA

Dior ... thanks! My BMI is 20 (which I know is right on target) but here you go. 5'7" and 9st 3lb. BUT ... about 18 mths ago I was underweight at 8st 4. My normal weight is about 8 st 13 - 9 st. So in the last while I've gotten healthier and put on around a stone. A while back my gp told me that I ought to watch what I eat incase I put on too much weight. I don't want to diet in an unhealthy manner but I'd like to be able to use the points system to get myself to my ideal and stay healthy! Thanks!

Thanks Dior for the advice! Shall start to watch what I eat and try to gather the energy to do Davina's DVD which has been watched from a sitting position!! What's the WW DVD?

Thanks again Dior - shall have a look. Am really bad at 5 a day but have stepped up fruit intake of late. Am also doing my darndest to cut out cakes/biscuits and even had a skinny latte yesterday rather than a regular. I must put a post on the food board for some healthy and non-fattening lunch ideas - have to have my lunch at 11am whilst at work so obviously don't feel like a traditional lunch but a bagel and cup of coffee every day don't help!
