Weight watchers is great. I've seen a lot of great results from friends that have gone through it. That is the only plan I would ever go with.

Weightwatchers has an e-tools option where you can keep a record and has points values for 27,000 foods.\n\nI enclose a link where you can download a Weightwatchers points calculator for free. I don't know how reliable it is so you might have to scan it for viruses.

There are many plans that work, the key is really what will work for yur personality and discipline type. I used (and still use)Weight Watchers and was very successful. I lost 123 pounds and now I run marathons, teach dance and even tried out for womens professional football, I used to be 256 pounds and would get tired walking ! Weight Watchers is great because it is so felxible, the weekly meeting really help with support and education about nutrition and excercise topics. Go to Weightwatchers.com and check it out!

I am in the same boat. I have already lost 5 pounds in a little less than a week and I am stepping it up a notch. What I am doing is watching and counting calories and carbs. Less than 180g of carbs and less than 1500 calories. Drink PLENTY of water. I am consuming 64 oz. of water now. I exercise 3 times a week with Richard Simmons exercise tape. The water helps fill you up. If you would like we can keep in touch and work on it together. It helps to have someone to talk to about the ups and downs of dieting and someone to share with WHEN you reach your goal. My email address is eeyore28602@yahoo.com if you wanna keep in touch about it. Hope this helps !!! Casey

YES!  You probably don't want to hear this but weight watchers.  My best friend was morbidly obese and lost 87 lbs.  Now she is at a healthy weight and has kept it off for 3 years.  I gained a lot of weight a couple of years ago and lost 27 lbs and have kept it off.  It isn't difficult-it teaches you how to eat responsibly...and you aren't constantly "dieting".  You can go out to eat and have a beer or whatever, but you have to be good the rest of that day.  It all balances out.  You use a point system (and you can get a points calculator and information online or I'd be glad to help too).  Anyway, I have tried the cabbage soup diet, atkins diet, low fat diet, vegetarian diet, starvation diet...and the weight loss was quick but only a few pounds and it always came back.  If you want a diet that works and keeps the weight off, you need to follow weight watchers.  The normal weight loss is 2 lbs a week, sometimes more, especially in the first week.  It feels so good to be healthy and energetic!  The only downside is that you may want to attend meetings and they are approx $10/wk.  I did it for free strictly by reading online message boards and googling "weight watchers information".  guess it helped that my friend went through it before me.  Some people need the meetings as motivation and to keep on track.  I wish I could show before and after pictures of my friend!  They are awesome!

my mother used to teach weight watchers class,& the two things that i do all the time is ...1)drink a large glass of water right before you eat(the water will take up space in your stomach & you will not eat as much &...2) take 20 minutes to eat what ever you are having. your body will send your brain a message that you have been eating for 20 minutes ...you must be full! also take a 30 minute walk after eating & don't eat after 9:00pm

I'm so lame - I weigh myself twice a day. In the AM and before I go to bed. I seem to be having problems with food lately so I am addicted to seeing my weight fluctuate - it's mostly from water, so I use the scale to see what supplements I need to take.

In my opinion it would really depend on the person dieting. Weight Watchers allows you to eat almost anything just within reason, and you have to count points. It's not a diet that will cause you to lose weight extremely fast, however it will cause you to keep the weight off that you do lose, unlike Adkins. This diet you can lose a lot of weight really fast but most people (not all) gain it back just a quick and then some, because sooner or later you'll want those carbs back.

Weight Watchers here in CT has just gone up to $12 per meeting.  However, they do have coupon books that you can buy at a discount (It's 10 coupons, for $100or so, for a savings of $2 per week).  Also, they have 17 week season passes, which they just offered for spring.  17 weeks for $149, or $8.77 per meeting.  Registration is sometimes free, but most of the time they charge.  Right now it's $20.\n\nThey have 2 plans, flex and core... the flex plan is easiest to follow when just starting out.  You count the number of "points" certain foods are worth, and track how much you've used for the day.  It's roughly 50 calories per point, less is there's more fat, more if there's more fiber.  I would recommend starting on the flex plan.  I've stayed with it for the whole time I've been going, and as of Saturday I've lost 74.4 pounds.  So it does work, if you keep with it.  Group support and meetings are one of the keys, though.\n\nI hope you can get to go, and yes, you just show up and register there.  They usually have a wide variety of times to make it easy for anyone to go.  I like going in the morning because that way I weigh in before breakfast.  I also try to wear the same general outfit, for consistency.  But I am borderline OCD, so that's just me.\n\nFor more information, check out their web site for locations and times.

I would recommend weight watchers, I joined and started at 203lbs. They teach you a lot and of course you are with a group of people that have a similar problem.I took it a step further.I walked to and from each meeting.So on the days of my meeting I walked 1.5 miles over and 1.5 miles back.so with that kind of inspiration by the end of six months I was down to 160.Put your heart into it and it will work.
