I’ve been doing the online version of weight watchers for over a year now and I really like it, but…. my friend keeps telling me, as I continue to lose the same 6 lbs over and over again, that perhaps I need to go to a “real” meeting. I think there might be something to that advice. A sense of accountability - is what I need (in addition to a little more exercise).
The meeting is in two hours. I’m also told that Thursday is the perfect day to attend weight watchers - far enough from the previous weekend to have the time to lose any weight that might have been gained over the weekend. We’ll see.

I think that to get the motivation it`s better to be among others with the same goals. It`s a bit like exercise. One thing to put a DVD on and try to follow the person taking the class, but that`s not the same as actually being there in the room with others.
you are doing a great job……
Completley agree with previous comentator.
Really nice post. But If we can loss heavy weight means, we will get lot health problems also.
Nice info friend, please visit me back Healthy Life
This was a great read on weight loss, wanted to share - http://www.makinglifebetter.com/vitality-wellness/article/small-weight-loss-goals
I tried the online weight watchers for a while but it didn’t really work for me either. I hope you have success with the “real” meeting. How did it go? Did you find any like-minded people willing to help and support you?
Hey Weight Loss Boot Camp!
I’m undecided about the meeting. The people were a bit cold, but everyone else there seemed to have attended with friends or family and I was the only lonely soul. But I think the accountability is a big factor, at least for me.

Good luck with your meeting and I hope that it went well. Weight watchers is’nt famous because celebrities use it. Its actually very effective and reputable. I know you will do fine..Weight watchers also has terrific support group, to help you stay motivated.
Keep up the good work.
Does all these therapies really work????
Nice info, thanks a lot. I really enjoy your writing style
Losing weight is always difficult, but at least you taking action to it.
I find that if you write down everything - and I mean everything- that you eat and drink, and add up the calories, (don’t go over 1500 per day) and try to avoid refined food and eat wholemeal bread, wholewheat pasta, potatoes and wholegrain rice, eggs, some butter as well as organic veg, fruit and salad, some cheese, nuts and seeds and some ‘treats’, and exercise aerobically for half an hour every other day you will lose weight. On the days you don’t do aerobic exercise, do some toning exercise instead.
Try to stay away from unnatural foods like false sweeteners and high-fructose corn syrup as well as refined white flour, rice and sugar (use honey instead!) which can make you hungrier. And if you eat over your 1500 calories, eat less the next day.
As you lose weight and tone up, you’ll feel so much better, and it will be easier to stay away from food that doesn’t fill you up or make you feel good! And you can still go to your weight watchers meeting if you need that camaraderie.
Keep up the good work, it will come off in the end just takes a hell of a lot of will power.
Well done so far
Very difficult on a strict diet, eat well be limited, but we need a diet that we become attractive appearance and body is always healthy.
