I am in Week 4 of WW and I'm loving it. I have lost 4.8 lbs since beginning the program and am trying to be patient. Someone told me once that I didn't gain all this weight overnight, so I shouldn't expect to lose it overnight.
I decided to go to meetings and am very lucky that I found one with a wonderful leader. I've heard that not all leaders are that way, so be sure to find one that you like and don't quit trying until you find her/him! More power to the members who do it online only. I know that I have to be accountable to myself, and to do so I *MUST* attend a weekly weigh in and meeting. I'm on a monthly pass and exercise at home...quite a bargain from gym fees.
Fruits and vegetables have been such a blessing, especially on the nights where I've already used up my 29 points and don't really want to burn my weekly points just yet. My freezer is stocked with SmartOnes that I usually eat for lunch. Quick, easy, and good with the Points.
I'm a newcomer to WW so I only know Points Plus and only Points Plus. Several ladies in my meeting are re-treads from the old system and are still very resistant to change. They love their sliders and sliders only but WW does not make sliders anymore. Just the calculator...if you can get your hands on one. My center has a few dozen, but they're experiencing a massive shortage nationwide because WW did not expect to see a response like this. I guess Jennifer Hudson was THAT convincing.
Feel free to PM me as well if you have any questions. Good luck!
