I joke that my Weight Watchers co-workers would eat baby tiger sauteed in panda tears if it came in under their points for the day.

Ha, I actually felt that way more on the old system than I have with the new one.


On the old system, I would eat a lot of fake food; fat-free Cool Whip, Olestra Pringles, etc. to try to get in at under points. And yeah, if baby tiger had been low points, I'd have gone to every Kroger in town to find it (see also Laughing Cow Cheese).

But on the new program, they really try to get you to eat real food - fruit, vegetables, meat, whole grains...

I honestly have to work to eat all my points now, and I feel better than I have in years.

And since January 5th, I've lost 14 pounds, easy peasy.

Okay, all of this WW talk has convinced me to join. Everytime Jennifer Hudson appears on my TV, I feel like she's shout-singing at me to put down the cupcakes and join WW.
Is WW easy to do if you're fairly busy? I'm a second year grad student, so I usually end up eating on the go.

If you're willing to take a little time to plan ahead, WW is definitely do-able. Zero points snacks are a big help, too.

eTools has a lot of restaurants/fast food joints listed in case you like to grab and go. I stay away from McDonalds these days, but Wendy's Pick 2 is usually within my 29 points.

Congratulations and let us know how it goes!
