For the remaining 10lbs... (Reply to this comment)
by amy7675
Like yourself, I also lost alot of weight on Weight Watchers (62lbs to be exact!), but for that last 10lbs I needed to lose, I did what's called a zig-zagging method with my points. It's called the "Wendie Plan".

Check it out here:

Inspiring (Reply to this comment)
by redmosaic
I have been debating whether or not to go back to ww and this excellent essay inspired me to do so, especially the advice to buy 10 classes in advance. That makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate the author's insight and helpful words.

You know, it's interesting.... when I GAIN weight, I always blame myself yet when I LOSE weight, I don't thank myself! I tend to thank others for their help!

THanks for pointing it out to me. I appreciate that.

I'm sure your leader was wonderful and very motivating, but ultimately it was your hard work and commitment.

is terrific, and congrats on your fantastic weight loss achievement! Hang in there for the last ten if you'll feel better without them, They'll come off, but will fight you no doubt.

Very impressive, and glad the support of Weight Watchers worked for you. Wish I could have found the supportive, motivating leader you referred to. I tried a few local groups in the past, but just wasn't comfy.

hey there... (Reply to this comment)

.
They will never believe that I could have found this on my own . . .and how did you know that I might need some of these tips ?!?

you said...
"Then take the FIRST bite and while you are appreciating that, let the other person eat the rest and save the LAST bite for you!"

Boy, I don't know . . .I would be sitting there muttering under my breath 'that's my carrot cake...grumble grumble...give it back already!'

you said...
"36. Prepay for the 10 weeks. It makes a mental difference on your commitment level."

Hey! I did that with Epinions! Makes it much easier to write! And they took my Visa card on-line!

you said...
"Keep focused on the end result and the good choices will counter balance the poorer or weaker ones in the long run."

Hey, you're describing Epinions again! Now if I could just stay away from those comment threads when they break out the potato salad...

Hey, congratulations on the terrific weight loss and beat down those last few!!

Very..nicely..done !!

by melissasrn, melissasrn is an Advisor on Epinions in Wellness & Beauty
....on review number 50 here (as well as your phenomenal weight loss!). You sure have shared lots of great information that even those who AREN'T following the plan can learn from.

I've lost 6 pounds recently but am hoping to drop 15 or 20 more eventually. It doesn't have to happen overnight..just one pound at a time!!

Great advice :-)
