Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 ---Not prepared to spend that weekly amount to be weighed in when I go to a doctor every week anyway.I do find WW to be expensive but for some people having to lay out that weekly cash helps justify why they need to do their best to lose the weight. Last time I was at WW was 20 years ago but I have co workers who use the present system of points. I would be so unfocused counting points but that's just me. I am very happy with SB. It's done for me in one short month what other diets have never seem to accomplish for me personally.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I guess you could say I was more successful on WW than SBD because I lost more than I have so far. But at Christmas 2002, I just snapped and COULD.NOT.COUNT.POINTS.ANYMORE. I gained back 25 pounds of the 33 I had lost. I have now re-lost 20 of that. I suspect those who can successfuly combine WW and SBD will be big winners - portion control of healthy foods - hard to beat! (I just can't do it. ) ) Re: WW > ---Not prepared to spend that weekly amount to be weighed in when I > go to a doctor every week anyway.I do find WW to be expensive but > for some people having to lay out that weekly cash helps justify why > they need to do their best to lose the weight. > Last time I was at WW was 20 years ago but I have co workers who > use the present system of points.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 My only problem with Weight Watchers is that when I called them, asking them about the sugar content in their meals, as I am a diabetic, I was told that it was not their concern. If I had special dietary needs, I would need to seek a group that dealt with my particular diet problems. I thought that said volumes about their concern for real weight loss, and patient care. I stopped looking at them as a possibility at that point and have never looked back...Kel Re: WW> ---Not prepared to spend that weekly amount to be weighed in when I> go to a doctor every week anyway.I do find WW to be expensive but> for some people having to lay out that weekly cash helps justify why> they need to do their best to lose the weight.> Last time I was at WW was 20 years ago but I have co workers who> use the present system of points.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 ---Well IMHO, that was really quite rude of them! Considering WW endorses the use of Splenda, Sugar Twin, Equal and the like. Why would they not just tell you that? They don't use sugar...I mean how silly would that be? Sort of impedes the purpose of a weight loss group don't ya think?? If you cut out the bad fats and bad carbs and still eat sugar how would one lose any weight?? I'd have to guess that particular employee is a bit of a moron!! lol In South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right , " Kel " <kelsthename@e...> wrote: > My only problem with Weight Watchers is that when I called them, asking them about the sugar content in their meals, as I am a diabetic, I was told that it was not their concern.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 --It was nothing compared to when it first came out! I recall being about 16 and thinking I needed to lose weight at that time (hah,little did I know 30 years later what they really meant)I joined WW. At that time it was like $3.00 a week to weigh in and listen to the lectures. $8.00 to join. Talk about limited foods? Whoa it was really restricted. That was back in the days when the " diet " drink available was TAB and FRESCA and I soon got sick of that! Lost 10 lbs and my mother nearly had a fit..course it didn't take long to put that back on(and more! LOL) - In South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right , " DONNA REICHLE " <dmreichle@p...> wrote: > > > ****Their original diet years and years ago, was much more structured, you had lean protein at every meal, green veggies, 2 fruit, 1 T margarine and 2 c skim milk and only 2 breads/day.

I lost 2 lbs every week on that plan and kept it off for a long time.***** > > > > > > WW actually has plans for those who want to eat higher protein, or higher carb, or balanced as well...telling you how many points you need to be eating in each category...similar to the old plan...if you choose to follow it, that is!! > > > > Donna iN PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
