Is WW really this easy?
Any who I just can't believe it is this easy. No depravation, no cutting out cookies, no stopping snacking. Is this really going to work? I did get extra points for nursing so that helped for certain but even still there were days I didn't even use all my points. I stayed within my points plus (I still have 20 weekly splurge allowance points left). I didnt have to eat fake food with artifical ingredients but I did make a few small changes (changed to a different brand of ice cream cookies and obviously I decreased the portion sizes of high cal treats and increased the portions of veggies etc- i stippped flat out binging on things but I still get to have them- just not the whole box of cookies). I just feel like it didn't hurt enough or something. I guess I'll see when I weigh in.
Re: Is WW really this easy?
Weight watchers really works. Especially when you follow it as it is written. Are you getting your healthy guidelines in? (the multi vit, water, veggies, etc?) I have a hard time with those sometimes.
I wish you the best of luck!
One thing that is tough for me is that I am not able to eat any sort of artificial sweetener or fats (like margarine etc). So sometimes I feel like I am missing out on some of the super cool low points treats I hear about. But really I have been able to budget for the real things.
Best of success to you too!
It's that easy, at least for me. I've been on it for five weeks and I'm skeptical before every weigh-in because I feel like I'm not dieting at all. But I've lost five pounds in five weeks - my most recent weigh-in was today and as usual, I couldn't believe it. Last week I hadn't lost weight during my weigh-in and I thought, "Ha! I knew it! Doesn't work." But that stubborn pound, plus another one came off before today.
I eat my weeklies. Not all of them, but I do use them. There was an article on WW the other day about how you should not be afraid to use them. At first I thought that if I used my weeklies I would just be maintaining my weight, but no, I still lose it, even if I use all of them. I only did that one week, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
