So what made me start Weight Watchers? My job! So the company I work for gave us an opportunity to sign up at a discounted rate. With this special package we got 14 weeks of both the digital tools online and the weekly meetings as well. I was a little bit skeptical at first. I had seen the commercials, and the ads. Most of the time when there is something advertising weight loss, and how you can have super dramatic results in a month, or anything less than that. Its bogus. It doesn't work. If it does, its because you picked up a healthy habit in the process of doing whatever you're used to doing. But everyone that I work with was doing it so I thought I would do it too.
So we found a local meeting near us by going to the Weight Watchers website. Once we found a time that worked for us, we all went together. They started out by checking you in, and you have your first weigh in. You also talk to them about your goals, and what you wish to accomplish with weight watchers. They gave us a bunch of starting pamphlets, and papers to have us reference as well. Then we went into the meeting. So when we went to the actual meeting portion I was dreading it. I figured it would be a mix of getting lectured about eating bad, and a cheesy inspirational speech. What happened instead was something different. They have a different message each week along with tips and tools to go along with it. When we started it was about getting more activity in your daily activities. I learned a lot of great pointers and tips that I still use every day. After the meeting they sit down with all of the new members, and teach them the basics of the program.
So here is how it works:
-You go in and get your initial weigh-in weight.
-You discuss with them your goals and the time frame you wish to achieve them.
-Based on that info they gave you two numbers. Your daily points and your weekly points.
-Your daily points is how much food you can eat in a day. Your weekly points is if you go over your daily points its an extra allowance you can use throughout the week.
-Each food has a specific point value except for veggies and fruits. Those are 0 points and you can eat however much of them you want.
-The minimum amount of points they want you to eat per day is 30. As long as you stay in between 30 and your designated point value you're fine.
-Lastly, see the weight fall off.
So how did my experience go? It was fantastic! Over the course of the 14 weeks I lost over 10 pounds! One thing I do want people to know is what makes this program successful is the amount of work you put into it. If you don't follow the program or do what they tell you to do then you won't see any results. If you stick to your daily points, and follow everything correctly you will be very successful on the program.
Lets get down to the question I know you guys are going to ask me. Would I do it again? The short answer is yes. However, I personally can't afford the monthly cost. If I ever am able to afford the monthly cost of it then I will totally sign up again for it. I highly recommend you sign up, and give it a try.
I hope you guys enjoyed reading my experience with Weight Watchers. If you guys have any questions about it feel free to ask! Have any of you guys tried Weight Watchers? If so, what was your experience with it? I hope you guys have a great rest of your day, and I'll see ya next time!
