Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 here is an idea for those of us who might be considering trying weight watchers.... like lisa take a look at the canadian food guide or the american food pryamid at http://www.mypyramid.gov/ and try to follow its recommendations. pay particular attention to portion size. also try to drink a minimum of 6 cups of water a day. write down everything that you eat and drink in a notebook or the website can provide you with a special journal page that you can print. also note your workout each day. if you are doing this, then you are fairly close to the weight watchers guidelines. ww will allow you to have a bit more food, or a small treat, here and there though, especially if you exercise regularly. :*carolyn. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Actually, when I put my info in, it gave me 2200 calories. I think it just goes by activity level though and isn't as accurate as going by your lean body mass, activity level, and daily exercise.
