Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 , I have never really been what I'd call overweight, however keeping the pounds off to begin with has always been a challenge. Obesity tends to run in my family, and with my limited ability to exercise, I'm very careful. I've found that even an extra 5 pounds can affect my mobility. So, 2 years ago I joined Weight Watchers with the desire to lose 15 pounds (I weighed 145 lbs at the time). I surpassed my goal and lost 18 pounds. I hit " lifetime member " status for reaching my goal. Since then I have been able to maintain the 15 pound loss, and have weighed about 130lbs ever since. The program is easy to follow, and you don't have to buy any special foods. I've known women that have lost over 100 pounds with Weight Watchers. It's a common sense approach to weight loss and maintenance, and a lifestyle change that you can live with for the rest of your life. You can eat whatever you choose, you simply have to count the points for it. The program shows you how. Log into www.Weightwatchers.com for an overview of how it works, and hopefully there is a group in your area. If there isn't, you can still follow the program with the information on the net. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
