| braindeadagain's Full Review: Weight Watchers Winning Points |
My initial opinion is written below. I wrote it last year when I was on the 123 Success Program. The Weight Watcher program has changed but I am happy to say I am still on the Weight Watcher program. I feel it is a program for life. For My Life, to keep me healthy. I have been on the points program now for over 2 years. First the "123 Success" and now the "Winning Points". I am maintaining my weight too!!!! I still go to the meetings one or more times a month. As a life time member I have to weigh in once a month. Because I am still at my goal weight (actually below it) I do not have to pay for the meeting. I still think this plan is the most healthy of all the weight loss programs.
I have had a weight problem since puberty. I always seemed to have my life on hold until I lost weight. I wasn't really living. I had tried all the fad diets and pills. I would lose weight and then gain it back. Plus some.
I was miserable and felt like a failure. I was always going to do things when I got thin. As I got older I knew my health was going to suffer. My cholesterol and blood pressure were higher than they should be.
I had always admired Sarah, The Duchess of York. I saw her commercials and decided to give Weight Watchers a try.
I am small boned. I am 5'3" and weighed 187 when I joined. I was fat. Today I weigh 122 with my clothes on. I am actually almost 5lb. under the goal weight, which I set for myself.
Weight Watchers has taught me it is not a diet but a life style change. They have taught me how to handle my life and food. I can eat what I want as long as I stay within my point range.
I attend the weekly meetings for information and support. I have bought several of the books: cooking, a grocery companion and also one for eating out.
One of my favorite Weight Watcher product is the 2 Point Bars. They are a healthy snack bar. They supply 1/4 of your daily vitamins. And also act as a milk serving because of the calcium content. I love the taste too. I eat one every afternoon for a treat.
Actually I eat 3 meals a day and a have 2-3 snacks. I have learned that I do best when I space my food out, throughout the day. Each person learns what is best for them.
Weight Watchers also encourages a active life style but lets each member decide for themselves what type of activity to do.
I am finally living my life and having fun. I am in control.
