Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Connie, Congrats on your weight loss...thanks for the welcome. I'm sure you're like me & have tried everything & it didn't work. Would you say that it has been easier this time? What is your perspective with this plan compared to the others.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Gigi, YES! I've tried them all. I've been overweight almost my entire life. I've done it all. WW is the easiest and the healthiest... physically and emotionally. It's like having money in the bank.... you have so much to spend, and you can spend it however you like.... once it's gone, it's gone. Luckily, the bank replenishes everyday (wish my money account did). It's not like being on a diet. If you want cake, have cake. It's fun and challenging for me to find great treats for low points.... like bargain hunting. I am doing this now for my HEALTH! I'm 48 years old, and not the young thang I used to be..... and I want to be healthy for my grandchildren!!!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 Jane, Welcome to this group, you will get lots of help here. As for the points, you could always email this group and I'm sure someone would have the answer for ya, or you can try www.dottisweightlosszone.com, she has tons of recipes with the points already figured out. For the exercise points, you will get a exercise slide after four weeks on Weight Watchers if you go to the meetings. If not, go to www.somemoorecats.com, this site has exercise journals you can figure out and all you do is put your exercise in and how long and it figures out the exercise points for you. Good luck in this journey to lose weight, your doing great already losing 60 lbs. Congratulations.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 I’m confused. How is the 10% calculated? Here we calculate 10% of our starting weight, and make that our first goal. So, is that 10% 7 lbs of 70 you want to lose?(Maybe we do it different). N. I find the goal weight completely overwhelming, but I'm getting close to my 10% (only 7 lbs!) and I have a pair of Eddie Bauer jeans in my closet that I wore twice during a short period of anxiety induced weight loss a couple of years ago that I'm hoping to get into by early March. So glad to be here with you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 You have to take 10% of your starting weight, so if you started at 200 lbs, you have to lose 20 lbs to hit your 10% mark.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 Hi, my name is phine and I'm 23yrs old, from NYC. I'm new to the group but not to weight watchers. I joined over last summer and did very well. I lost the 30lbs I needed to lose and felt great! But I let myself slip around Thanksgiving and it continued thru Xmas and well now here I am. And I gained most of the weight back but I'm now determined more than ever to lose what I gained back and more, count my points and stick to the plan. Happy to be part of the list ) ~phine~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi Vicky! It's normal to be excited and scared at the same time before surgery. It seems as though everything fell right into place for you as far as doctors etc are concerned. Good luck with your surgery! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
